Frosh details Of the great Mississippi
State warrant forgerles were received at
Whitley's secret service Headquarters
yesterday. The total amount Of raised
warrants has been found not to exceed
$l2O, 900, of which $4,000 has been TO
covered. Hopes are entertained OF Sc
curing the remainder before they are
put on the market. W. y. Dnnham'
whs was sent here from New Orleans
to negotiate the sale Of large portion
of the warrants, is to be used as the
prineipal witness against Curry, the
deputy surveyor of the sNew Orleans,
custom house, G. II. Steele, govern
ment clerk, DR.. sevan alias DIR. Wood
ward, Considiene and Mary Mcbride
Curry is out on bail in New Orleans
but the Mississippi authorities intend to
recapture him on requisition. He is
to be confined in the penitentiary at
Jackson, Mississippi, where the others
are awaiting trial.
The Tribune, commenting on Secre-
tary Fish's note to the Spanish author
tiles regarding the emancipation Of
slavery in the West Indies asks; What
did he mean2 He never means war, and
says that vigorous Intervention in be-
half of the Cuban patriots is impossible
while he stays at the head of the depart
ment. We doubt, indeed, whether
they designed it to be anything more
than the exhibition Of a vigorous indig-
nation, valuable for some moral effect
which no body could ever calculate.
People seem to have understood it in
that light, for it has made little or no
impression upon them"
The Herald thinks that Fish's note to
the Spanish Government will produce no
other effect than mere promises Of eman-
cipation on the part Of Spain, and of
the suppression Of the Instruction and
of justice to the American citizens.
viii all these brave words Of Secretary
Fish end in smoke? For four years
Spain has decried and Knocked the
Acknowledgement. Surely il is time
for action. SNsHi N. 500

order yesterday on application of John
Foley, plaintiff, who enters complaint

million dollars, while at least two-thirds

posit in the Broadway National Bank, of
which the Chamberlain is president, and
,ne-ffth of the amount has been depos-
ted in the Tenth National, Of which |
Walter B. Palmer, the nephew of the
Chamberlain, is president. All that the
is required by law is to
squalize the amount deposited in banks,
md the banks are to pay proportionaiiy |
or his Office rent. He states that on
November 9, 1867, the former Chamber
ain made agreement with the directors
