The Supreme Conn held that under tbe circum? stances of the case, the plaintiff was not the Im? porter of the salt, but the mere purchaser from the importer, and the fact that he sold In un? broken packages did net exempt him from state taxation, He had not partaken of tte risks of the voyage.

[FEOM ?fit OWN CORRESPONDENT.] ?j WASHINGTON, October 24. There are jost now an unhappy family at the White House, and an unhappy official family In the Cabinet The President bi fo rely grieved that he has been "taken in and BO handsomely done for" by his brother-in-law, A. R. Corbin, who is sowell remembered in the days gone by as a famous Washington lob? byist, and whose recent complicity In the gold ring in New York has made him still more notorious. Whatever may be thought of Jay Gould and Fisk, Jr., no one can Imagine that they entered apon that gigantic Septem? ber speculation without the most positive as? surances from high officials here that tbe gov? ernment would do nothing beyond its ordi? nary sales of gold to depress ;he market, and therefore leave the field clear to a rich ?Di powerful combination to put np the price before October 15, so that large sume .could be realized. They are men, true, who speculate among the uncer? tainties, but they do not risk all they have only on a certainty; and in that they had the rinnnMni support of Corbin and the Assis? tant Treasurer at Kew York, General Batter field, and, besides, the direct and indirect as? surances of the President, that there was no danger of interference. Bnt fortunately this supposition is sustained very tully by the evi? dence coming to light, and is bringing out the names of all connected with tbe great gold combination. Notwithstanding Mr. Corbin's denials and General Butterfield's denials that they were In the ring, the corroborative testi? mony, oral and written, contradicts them. Gould's check to Butterfield, the latter's sub? sequent transfer by deed of bis property-to cover bis losses, Mrs. Grant's letter and the gold purchased, for General Porter, the Presi? dent's private secretary, form a chain of evi? dence that cannot be very easily nega? tived. Mr. Grant is very much excited over , this; ?aya he does not remember his conversation with Gould at Corbin's bouse, but is positive that there was nothing slid looking to any speculation. In brief, he blames Corbin for the whole thing, and says that either Gould or Corbin bought bonds and gold for the members of the President's family of their own accord and without the knowl? edge of said members. This is all very well for Mr. Grant, but there are facts he cannot answer, and which are decidedly against him; and one is, that he ordered Mr. Boutwell, on the day of the panic, to sell the government gold; and another is, that he saw Jay Gould's and Corbin's special messenger during his j visit in Western Pennsylvania, and received by him letters containing information of the combination then forming. And above and beyond all this is the avaricious disposition shown by the President in accepting presents, all the way from houses in Philadelphia and Washington to bottom lands in Jersey. He ought to remember this, before he casts the first stone at his brother-in-law. Mr. Corbin may be sinful enough, but how stands Mrs. Grant ? On every hand one can hear of the lobby schemes and corruption and jobbery arranged for the coming session of Congress. They are almost without number. The purchase of San Domingo and its annexation to the United States, with a territorial delegate, the estab? lishment of a national bank, and an interest in the salt deposits there, form one of the jobs that some of the Southern carpet-bag Con? gressmen and a Hebrew lobby firm here have already got up. It seems that if the island Is actually purchased it will throw half a million dollars into thc hands of a New York company owning the salt deposits, which in turn is to be distributed among the lobby. The President has announced his opposition to the purchase, and with a little exposure, Including the names ?of the Congressmen pledged to support it, the bill will rall through. Then the whiskey men are announced as desiring to get the tax raised to one dollar a gallon, BO that by pur? chasing a large portion of the stock on hand they can realize a handsome sum. The pro? position to tax ' cotton again is nothing but a job. No one supposes that it will ever go through Congress, but it gives a pretence to the lobbyists to go South and raise a fund to defeat lt. The Northern Pacific Railroad, the Washington International Exhibition, even an air-line railroad to New York, a railroad weet to Cincinnati, and other BChemes almost too nu? merous to mention, to say nothing of the tariff and other old standing jobs, are matters in which the cormorants, carpet-baggers, adven? turers, bogus newspaper correspondents, clans agents, State agents, 4c, already have their hands in. General Belknap, the new Secretary of War, 19 expected here to-morrow, and will illustrate in assuming his new position the versatility of General Grant's most remarkable Cabinet. It consists of seven members, and since the 4th of March he has made eight changes. Secre? tary Fish first relieved Washburne, Rawlins succeeded Schofield, who was in turn suc? ceeded by Sherman, who is this week suc? ceeded by Belknap. A. T. Stewart was fol? lowed by Boutwell, and Robeson succeeded Borle. In all, counting Belknap, there have been thirteen incumbents of Cabinet positions since Grant was inaugurated. It is not un? likely that before January another change will be made, as Attorney General Hoar prefers a judicial seat to that of a public prosecutor. A very decided movement for a change in the offices ol the Senate ie on foot. The com? bination by which the present officials got in last spring has fallen through of its own cor? rupt weight. Judge Bond, of Baltimore, is a a candidate for the secretaryship, and a New York man for sergeant-alarms. General Clarke, the old executive clerk, is likely to be restored to his did place. Very Just complaint is made that the present officials are engaged in outside business. Gorham is said to have an Interest in the Central Pacific Railroad, and Morris, the Executive clerk, is publishing a Radical sheet in South Carolina, and living off of government advertisements, thereby draw? ing, virtually, two salaries in violation of law. He will undoubtedly be k ~ed sjit of office. There is a vast deal of manufactured Cuban news sent from here. The Baltimore San seems to print, unknowingly, a good deal of it; but you may rest assured that all reports of Cabinet meetings favorable or unfavorable to the Cuban question are bogus. *The adminis? tration has sent the whole matter over to Con? gress, and will develop its views only la the annual message. Caleb Gushing, who is high authority in matters of international law, and who is suspected of writing many of Secre? tary Fish's dispatches^has just given an opin? ion which dampens the ardor of thc friends ol Cuba very mach. He objects to recognizing them because their constitution was made m the United States, and because of their open attempt In fitting out expeditions to embroil this country with Spain and prematurely force i recognition of Cuba. The old saw that "uneasy iles the head that fvears the crown," is most apt for Grant, now known as the great American traveller. He lad not been home from the springs two weeks before he tramped off to a fair in Northern Maryland, and now that be is back, ie has decided to start off West again and ?ke a look at Kentucky. Jnst before Congress meets he will probably go South, through Charleston, Augusta and Mobile. Two WeBtern members write that they have bills prepared for the removal of the capl'al, which they will endeavor to press" to a vote at the coming session; but the only damage it ls feared Washington will receive is to cut off oil appropriations for the present The hotels are filling up, and Washington for the first time in several months looks re? splendent with crowds. Business In the retail trade is very good, but prices show a down? ward tendency. ZETA. -? Tl s? i ? FROM THF STATE! CAPITAL. Hore Of tile Klliott-Kavunagh Pra? ra- Chief Constable Hubbard Takes a Part. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, October 24. The fracas of Friday has had its continua? tions. Elliott stands his ground, but Kava? nagh keeps active. Saturday evening, while Chief Constable Hubbard was at tho Colombia Hotel, Kavanagh assailed him with abusive language, charging him with being an instiga? tor of Elliott la the affair of Friday-the horse? whipping at the executive chambers-and finally assaulted him with blows. This Hub? bard stood as long as patience was a virtue, and proceeded to quiet his excited assailant by arresting him and putting him in the guard? house. Sunday morning he was released at the usual hour. Threats against Elliott con? tinue to be loud and sanguinary, but the valo? rous assistant adjutant-general docs not appear to be in any immediate danger. The Grand Army of the Republic has not acted upon the case yet Kavanagh has been a sutler at this ptfst as well as secretory for Governor Scott for some months ; is said to be an Irishman ; but that gallant race have never before witnessed one of their own blood whipped lu public by a ne? gro without resenting the Indignity in suitable style. However, the affair is not yet over. THE GOLD CONSPIRACY. ITS DETAILS EXPLAINED BY OSE OF THE RING. BoutwelTs Complicity with the Bear Ring-How he Sent Bank Inspectors to the Tenth National to Create a Panic And Succeeded in Helping ont the "Loir* Short Interest. Yesterday morning TUE NEWH printed cer? tain important statements, showing the com? plicity of members of the President's family with the gold speculations. TIKJ New York World gives an account of a further interview of one of its reportera with Mr. Jay Gould, in the course of which the fact was developed that Secretary Boutwell has ?Uso been playing his game; and that his actual operations have avery different aspect when viewed in all their different relations from whut has hitherto either appeared or been suspected. What has hitherto appeared has been mainly a clue to the operations of the bull clique. Bul from additional Information it looks as if the origi? nators of the panic were the members of the tear ring, with Secretary Boutwell as prime agent. THE BEAR RING. But to give Mr. Jay Gould's own words : You understand that there were two parties op? erating. We know all about what the bull party diu, for so far all the talk has l een about them, and, in order to get on the right track of it, we must loos at ine iwo fanes <u mc m-.-. j no doubt that we have been overtrading, bad either to par for it with gold or wuu i ducts of the country. Now, we raiso things-cotton, wheat, corn, butter, che * great staples of the country, however, are wheat, corn and tobacco. In cotton we c toa certain extent with Egypt and India, have a far greater competition in corn and That competition comes from the Black a Mediterranean seas. The competition ls s between those countries and America tha tlrely depends upon the price of gold whet can enter the markets against them or no reason is. that tbey have cheap labor in ports bordering on the Mediterranean ant transportation to London and Liverpool we have high-priced labor and long railroad Donation to the seaboard. It is the pre .ni gold that equalizes the difference. As tl miora goes np beyond the levelling point-i depends whether we can serfd the grain or not. SOLD AT 146 BETTKR THAN AT 126. Mr. Goold. With gold at about l shall be able to send produce to the LU and London markets from America, bu gold at 126 th?; Mediterranean and Biac would have the whole trade, and ot elgn debts would have to be paid with ( bonds. With gold at a high price, the fe won M get a good price for grain, the ra would get a good price for transportatlo manufacturers would have a good mark West, because the farmers, getting a goo* would be able to buy of them. What we r tbe country is what you can ship abroad, case of goods you cannot ship abroad, yo to use them here. M'CULLOCH NEV Kit RUINED ?KE OOUNTR Mr. Gould. Ab, Mr. Mcculloch understoo better than mest of them. Ile never did an' during the fall of the year when the crops being moved-I mean that he never did an; to depreciate the price of gold./ On the COD he always kept It up to 140 or 146 That w average fall price of gold during the past ?ears. I have given you all about the bull will now refer to the bear party in gold, bear party ls made up In a great measure i elgn houses, who expect to sell gold short is, they sell for future delivery, and exp cover their short sales of gold by buying ou duce at the depreciated price of gold. TUE FOREIGN BANKERS AND THE RADICA) Mr. Fisk. You take a hundred thousand d to a foreign banker and get him to send lt 1 rope for you. rle will give you a sixty days' that Is to say, he will sell that bill to you. moment he has sold that bill to you he becot bear in the market, because he can wait fort days. He looks forward to the end of that i five days to make his money, The whole bai Interest In the City of New York are bears In The greatest rebels during the War were the i bera of the Gold Exchange. Thc members c foreign exchange banking house were the nal bears. And they were, soon after the b big out or the war, joined by the Radicals c Union League Club, who thus attempted to tbe business of the country, not understai what was required to level the exchange bet this country and Europe. THE BEARS FRIGHTENED. Mr. Gould. The bulls never expected to c gold over 140 or 146; but when they got lt i that point the Radicals got frightened; beet you see, Boutwell was unable to sell gold i he was here, and that frightened some of bears. Reporter. Well, what was Bout well's compl in the business ? GO C LD ON BOOT WELL. Mr. Gould. He did what he bad no buBlne do in interfering with the market at all. N was there such a chance for a nation to get But when he broke down the price of gold, i down went the price of crops, and we have gi Bull along on the dead lewd. Why, ten years we were spending aa much money as wt spending now, .ve should have got finely sea But now you can spend money because all people are getting rich, for everything you sells at a higher price. Before reducing thc p of gold wc ought to let everybody get rich; then when the crash comes nobody will surfer fact there will be no crush. The only trouble i this rise in the price of gold ls, that lt has lasted long enough. Let lt last as long as lt < Old Boutwell has no more brains than an oye or he would not have Interfered. Let gold fa 116, and you can't ship a thing out of the cout that will give you a dollar. When gold wa 146, cotton was Belling at thirty-five cent pound; when gold fell, cotton also fell clgh nine cents a pound. 1 think that very soon t will be bnrnlng corn in the West for fuel-as t were burning it four or five years ago-throi Kouuvell'n breaking the gold market down, should have held lt there Jost as long as he cot THE CLIQVE AT THE BOUTWELL DINNER. Mr. Gould. And lt was not that alone. ' moment government Interferes there is als loss of confidence. When the finance ministe: a great government steps In to interfere ii movement of the market, first on one side f then on the other, he loses all respect. But, t was saying about the bears-they were joined the Radicals and the programme was to get Bc well up to this dinner of the Union League Cl Frank E. Howe was sent down to act as gui over Boutwell. The Radicals invited parties M were short of gold-there was Mr. Low, the merchant, he was short. When he got up a made a speech calling on the Secretary to i gold, every man round the table was Instruct to make a tremendous clapping of hands. I after this meeting with Boutwell, the bears beg to get discouraged, and endeavored to coi their gold contracts. That made the panic wh: carried up the price of gold. It was not t balls who commenced the panic. I co menced Belling gold at 137, and Bold up to 162. was a constant seller all the time. Bnt lt w the bears who got frightened and raised the pr: themselves. The bears got frightened over t great sales of gold which they had not got. you take 160 millions of short interest, with oi 16 millions of actual gold in the market, y may soon get the bears frightened, because th know the gold isn't there. They have sold wt they have not got. So, as I have said, lt was t bears who got frightened. There is another eic of bears that took another way of getting out the difficulty, and saved themselves from loi They formed a combination here to make mon scarce, and in that way to depress the price gold and stocks. They went Into the market bu lng all the morning, and, of course, in the arti noon they wonld be the parties who had mon to loan. Accordingly they did go In and sell, ai they were the persons who produced the panic. The reporter inquired whether they were aid tn that by the Secretary directly. HOW BOUTWELL CREATED THE PANIC. Mr. Gould. When they were all ready for the operations, they telegraphed to Washington Mr. Boutwell to send on some bank inspecta and put them into the Tenth National Bank. Jfi intention was to break that bank. They did n send the regular bank examiner, Mr. fallende who knew that the bank was in a strong and sa position, but they sent men from Washlngto utter strangers-thc object being, In fact, to bret the bank and create a panic. They knew that was largely interested in the Tenth Nation Bank, and that seems to me to show Boutwell complicity in producing the panic. Certainly, tin was the object. Reporter. But what did the bear ring gain c that? Mr. Gould. Why, or course, lt knocked dow the price or gold. You see there was a spilt I the ranks of the bears. The one party was di: courged that Boutwell did not help them, for li had at thc first told parties that he would not ii terfere In Wall street, JTIe other party got pa session of hinx, and he helped them to make pa nie in the street. So you see there were tw bear parties, both fighting to get possession c Boutwell, but only one succeeded in weaning hli over. I u'so hold that the government, in sellln gold, has violated an express statute. THE VIOLATED LAW OF 1862. The clause In the act or 1862 says: "And le it further enacted, That all duties 01 imported goods which shall be raid in coin or ii notes pa va Me on demand, or in notes nercafte authorized to bc received and by law recslvabl lu payment as public dues, shall be applied tu follows: "First. To the pavmcnt in coin as the Interes on the bonds and notes of the United State?. "Second. To tbe purchase or payment or OIK per centum or the entire debt or the Unitec States, to be made within each fiscal year alte the first day ol July. 18C2, which is to bc set apar as a sinking rund, and the interest, or which sha! in like mann, r be applied to the purchase or pay mont or the public debt, as the Secretary of thi Treasury shall from time to time direct. "Third. The residue thereof to be paid into tht Treasury of ttie Uni ted States." Then, you see, it Ls to be "paid into thc Treasun orthe United States"-not used in any gold specu" latlon. What ls lt to be paid Into the Treasury o: the United States for? Why, tor the same pur pose that England and Frauce keep large reserve; of bullion and coin in their vaults-to gu?rante? the pay meut or their notes. If the Secretary wanted to do a good thing for the country why did he not sell gold at 160, instead of deferring sales till the next day, when the price had sunk to 130? There was just a difference of thirty pei cent., which amounted to $1,200,000. I say thal was a dead loss to the country. BOUTWELL A CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY. Reporter. What could be Boutwell's motive in all this ?< Ma Gould. Undoubtedly political. Corbin told me that Boutwell was to be the next candidate of thc Republican party; and Boutwell was try? ing to build himself up among the Radicals by helping their bear interest. I don't think he had any money in the affair. I think he was work? ing for individual political interest. There ls no doubt that whatever ht has done since he has been Secretary or the Treasury has been knewn to certain parties in Wall street. He has been seeking to build himself up with the Radical party. You rem mbcr how the Tribune caliei upon him to help the Radicals. -Henry Koenig, tbe veteran German nov? elist, died the other day at Wiesbaden, at an advanced age. -Madame Rattazzi is In Paris, surer intend? ing the publication of the complete edition of her novel, and of a new work, in which she again ridicules the foibles of the Empress Eu? genie. -Professor Lane bas introduced the Conti? nental pronunciation of Latin and Greek at Harvard, and lt is to be used hereafter in the instruction of all the classes. -Mrs. Keckley, the colored fabricator of garments for Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, and her enthusiastic admirer and biographer, com? plains that she has received nothing from the sale of her boole, though she agreed to share the profits with her publisher.

Tbe dangerous illness of thc Emperor Napoleon, the Father Hyacinthe movement, and the murder of the Klnck fam? ily, have all contributed much toward enor? mously Increasing the circulation of the more enterprising Parts journals.

"My dear son," replied Pius IX, "I have seen your me? morial, and thank you for it; but do you not know that there are two kinds of vandalism, the one of destruction, the other of restora? tion ? Never has the Coliseum been more beautiful than in the moving contrast of the splendor of its past and the magnificence of its ruins. To restore them would, lt seems to me, be an artistic sacrilege, and would anni? hilate the work of ages, only to produce a poor and colorless counterfeit. Think no more of it. caro mio." And the Baron thought no more of it. . Special Notices. ?Sf ALL PERSONS IN THIS STATE IN?

For him the means of rein? vigoration have been provided by skill and science. To recruit his exhausted energies and fortify himself against the disorders generated by the sudden depression of temperature and the un w noisome exhalations of autumn, let him tone his nervous system, Invigorate hui digestion and give edge to his appetite with HOSTETTER'8 STOMACH BITTERS.

To the sufferer from general debility, whether constitutional or aris? ing from other causes, this potent vegetable spe elfie ls earnestly recommended.
