WASHINGTON. Nov IS, 1871.
The Secretary Of state and the London Mis-
sion.
The Hon. Hamilton Fish Is profoundly meditatng
the new turn things have taken on the English mis-.
sion. Notwithstanding any temporary authority to
deny the recall OF General Schenck the programme
will be carried out. His late residence here Is
closed up, and all Things promise his very early re-
tirement from the Cabinet 'and acceptance OF the
English mission. This exposure OF Schenck's weak
ness Is made the subject OF many conferences, and 1t
is dGlcut to know precisely how to meet It, 1t was
boldly asserted to-day that the loose political and
business morality which pervades Washington so
ciey led Major General Robert Sohenck to let down
his scrupulous Interpretation OF official honor in
order to accept stock presents. Persons IN the city
from Utah and Nevada say that william III.
Stewart, Senator from the latter state, ts re-
sponsible for the wild manner OF adver-
tsing the Emma Mine In England. Stewart
sailed from New York city for London last July,
after having conducted successful contest against
the original pre-emptors OF the Emma Nine. He
and Curtis ]. Hillyer champoned the claim Of James
E. Lyon, of Colorado, against warren Hussey and
Walker Brothers, AposLate Mormons the first
propretors These latter were backed up
BY William Park. OF Vermont, once unsuccess-
ful candidate Tor the United States Senate
from California against John Conness Stewart
resides next door to General Schcnck in the city OF
Washington. He Is dasning aoventurer and
speculator, who has made and lost large fortunes
IN Nevada mines, receiving, 1t Is said. as much as
$500 900 for stock received fees single opera.
ton. Schenck, Park and Stewart are the only
Americans, except Baster, named In the
list Of nine directors, while Hussey is
put down as manager. The Lyon and
Park interests, coalesced by compromise,
both being afraid of Judge McKeon's Court IN Utah
and Its loose way OF drawing Juries. patent being
obtained after the compromise, this vast stem OF
advertising designed and carried into effect by
Stewards advisers and Schenck was drawn into the
transaction. Schenck Is poor man comparatively.
1t is alleged that his residence in this city
was presented to him while chairman OF
the Ways and Means Committee. by Mr..
John A. Griswod, OF Troy, N. Y, and
others. He Is man OF originality, great will and
decisiveness OF character but had become indoent,
immetnodcal and shiftess before his departure for
Europe. The Ways and Means Committee
affords such plenteOus hospitality ana
good cheer from convivia lobbyists and
tariff pullers that It mad worn out
Schenck ana blunted his original fine sense or
nlcety. Immense sums OF money have been made
within the past year py selling mines In Utah to
Englishmen, and tnis reckless experiment with the
Emma mine will probably give the cali TO halt in
such dealing In foreign markets for the future. Mr.
Schenck's friends are In much distress over these
disclosures.
