In the Supreme Court Chief Justice Chase read an elaborate opinion tn the Yerger case, to the effect that the Supreme Court of the United States has Jurisdiction under the const lt ut lou and the Judiciary act of '87, and that the act of '67, re? pealed by thc act of '68, docd not act to takeaway Ute Jurisdiction of this conrt In this case. .The writ of tiabeas corpus was referred to as among our moat valuable rights, and was guarded by tho constitution. The merits or the Yerger case were not involved in the opinion, thc court morely as? suming jurisdiction. Ycrger'B counsel wlU have a conference to-morrow with the Attorney-Gene? ral, when the further proceedings under jurisdic? tion wUI be arranged. The granting of the writ ls still pending. Mr. Justice Miller dissented from thc opinion of the court. The following la an extract from Chief Justice Chase's opinion: "We arc obliged to hold, there? fore, that In all cases where a Circuit Court of the Dnlted States bas, in the exercise of Ita original jurisdiction, caused a prisoner to be brought be? fore lt, and baa, after Inquiring into the cause of detention, remanded aim to tho custody from rf whloh he waa taken, this court, In the exercise cf ita appeUate Jurisdiction, may, by a writ of habeas corpus, aided by tho writ of certiorari, reverse the decision of the Circuit Court, and ir it te found unwarranted by law, relieve the prisoner from the unlawful restraint to which he has been remanded." The conclusion la as follows: "The argument having been confined to the question- of Jurisdic? tion, thut opinion ls directed to that question. The Jurisdiction of the court to issue the writ ls affirmed." The case or Moses Waring vs. the Mayor of Mo? bile, In error from thc Supreme Court of Alabama, was decided to-day. The plaintiff, a merchant of Mobile, claims to be on importer of salt in that port, and com plains that the city, under authori? ty of the State law, seeks to,Impose upon him a tax upon sales in conflict with thc clause In the United States Constitution prohibiting a State from laying . ny duties upon Importa and exporta. The Supreme Court held that under the circum? stances of thc case, the plaintiff waa not the Im? porter of tbe 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. Ile had not partaken of the risks of the voyage. The owners of the ship were the Im? porters. The Judgment was affirmed. The revenue to-day bi $6*6,000. The Conrt of Claims ls In session.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WASHINGTON, October 24. There aro Jost now an unhappy lamlly. nt the White House, and an unhappy official family in tho Cabinet. The President ls sorely grieved that he has been "taken in and so tiandBomely dono for" by his brother-in-law, A. R. Corbin, who is so well remembered In the days gone by as a famous Washington lob? byist, and whoso recent complicity In the gold ringln New Tork has made him still more notorious. Whatever may be thought of Jay Gould and Fisk, Jr., no one can imagine that they entered upon that gigantlo Septem? ber speculation without the most positive as? surances from high officials here that tho gov? ernment would, do nothing beyond its ordl oary sales of gold to depress :he market, and therefore leave the field clear to a rich and powerful combination to pnt up the price before October 15, so that large suma 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 financial support of Corbin and the Assis? tant Treasurer at New York, General Butter? field, and, besides, the direct' and indirect as? surances of ?the President, that there was no danger of Interference. But fortunately this supposition ls sustained very tolly by the evi? dence coming to light, and is bringing out the names of all connected with tho great gold combination. Notwithstanding Ur. Corbin's denials and General Butterfield's denials that they were lu the ring, the corroborative testi? mony, oral and written, contradicts them. Gould's check to Butterfield, ibo latter's sub? sequent transfer by deed of his property to cover his losses, l?rs. Grant's letter and the gold purchased for General Porter, the Presi? dent's private secretary, form a chai n of evi? dence that cannot, be very easily nega? tived. Ur. Grant la very much excited over this; says he does not remember his conversation with Gould at Corbin's house, but ta positive that there was nothing said looking lo any speculation. In brief, ho blames Corbin for tho 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 thero aro facts he cannot answer, and which are decidedly against him; and one Is, that ho ordered Mr. ?outwell, on the day af the panic, to sell the government gold; and another 1B, that he saw Jay Gould's and Corbin's special messenger during his visit in Western P' o nay 1 vania, and received by him letters cor . nmg Information o? tho combination thc i .-ming. And abovo and beyond all this '.- (ho avaricious disposition shown by tho 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 stono at his brother-in-law. Mr. Corbin may ho sinful enough, but bow stands Mrs. Grant f On every hand ono 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 Sail Domingo and Its annexation to tho United States, with a territorial delegate, tho estab? lishment of a national bank, and an Inter?st in the salt deposita there, form one of the Jobs that, some of the Southern carpet-bag Con gn-ftsmen OM a Hebrew lobby firm here have al rc wy got up. it teems that if the Island ls actually purahasevjt will throw half a'million dollars into tho ham- 0r ft Now yorK company owning the salt depots, w hlch .In turn ls to bo distributed among td lobby.? The Presid?nt has announced his opposion to Ute purchase, and with a little exrwsur*. including the names Of t ..? Oo tigress men pledged to support lt, the bill will fall through. Then the whiskey ;uen are announced as desiring (o get tbo tax raised to oue dollar a gallon, HO that by pur? chasing a largo portion of the stock on hand they cun realize a handsome sum. Thc pro? position to tax cotton again Is nothing but a Job. No ono supposes that lt will over go through Congress, but lt gives a pretence to the lobbyists to go South and raise a (bind to defeat lt. Tho Northern' Pacific Railroad, the Washington International Exhibition, even au alr-llne railroad to New York, a railroad west to Cincinnati, and other schemes almost too nu? merous to mention, to say nothing of the tariff and. Other old standing Jobs, are matters In walch the cormorants, carpet-baggers, adven? turers, bogus newspaper correspondents, claim agents, State agents, Ac, already have their bands in. . J_ General BflKap, the new Secretary of War, ls eX|<ected 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 tho 4th of March he bas made eight changes. Secre? tary Fish first relieved Washburn?, Rawlins succeeded Schofield, who was In turn suc? ceeded by Sherman, who is this week suc? ceeded by Redknap. A. T. Stewart was fol? lowed by Boutwell, and Robeson succeeded Berle. 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 bo made, os Attorney General Hoar prefers a Judicial seat to that of a public prosecutor. A very decided movoment for a change in the offices ol tho Senate ls on foot. Thc com? bination by which tho present officials got In lost spring hos fallen through of Its own cor? rupt weight.. Judge Bond, of Baltimore, ls a a candidate for tho secretaryship, and a Now York man lor Bcrgcont-at-arms. General Clarke, the old executive clerk, ls likely to bc restored to his old place. Very Just complaint ls 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, ls publishing a Radical sheet In South Carolina, and living off of government advertisements, thereby draw? ing, virtually, two salaries in violation of law. Hr will undoubtedly bc kicked out of office. There 1B a vast deal of manufactured Cuban news sent from here. The Baltimore Sun seems to print, unknowingly, a good deal of lt; but yon may rest assured that all reports of Cabinet meetings favorable or unfavorable to thc Cuban question are bogus. The adminis? tration has sent the whole matter over to Con? gress, and will develop its views only in tho annual message. Caleb dishing, who ls high authority In matters of international law, and who ls suspected of writing many of Secre? tary Fish's dispute h rs,th a? Just given an opin? ion which dampens the ardor of thc friends ol Cuba very much. He objects to recognizing them because their constitution was made In the United States, and because of their open attempt tn fitting out expeditions to embroil this country with Spain and prematurely force a recognition of Cuba. -Thc old saw that "uneasy Hes the head that wears the crown,*1 is most apt for Grant, now. known as the great American traveller. Ho had not been homo from' the springs two weeks before ho tromped off to a fair in Northern Harylaad, and now that ho is back, he baa decided to start .off Wost again and take a look at Kentucky. Jost before Congress meets be will probably go South, through Charleston, Augusta and Mobile. Two Western members write that they have bills prepared for the removal of the capital, which they will endeavor to press to a vote at the coming session; bnt thc only damage lt ls feared Washington will receive is to cut off all appropriations for the present. The hotels are niling up, and Washington for the first time bi several months looks re? splendent with crowds. Business In the retail trade ls very goda?* but prices show a down? ward tendency.

The fracas of Friday has had ita continua? tions. Elliott stands his ground, but Kava? nagh keeps active. Saturday evening, while Chief Constable Hubbard was at the Columbia Hotel, Kavanagh assailed him with abusive language, charging him with being an instiga? tor of Elliott In the affair of Friday-the horse? whipping at tho executive chambers-and finally assaulted him with blows. This Hub? bard stood as long as patience waa a virtue, and proceeded to quiet his excited assailant by arresting him and putting him In tho guard? house. Sunday morning he was rcleasod at the usual hour. Threats against Elliott con? tinue to be Icud and sanguinary, but tho valo? rous assistant adjutant-general does not appear to be In any Immediate danger. The Grand Army of the Republic bas not acted upon the case yet. kavanagh hos been a sutler at this. post as well as secretary for Governor Scott for some months ; ls sold to be an Irishman ; but that gallant race have never before witnessed one of their own blood whipped in public by a ne? gro without resenting tho Indignity In suitable style. However, tho affair is not yet over. TUE GOLD CONSPIRACY. ITS DETAILS EXPLAINED BY ONE OF THE RINO. BoatweU'a Complicity with the Bear Blng-How he Bent Bank Inspectors to the Te nthNational to Create a Panic And Succeeded In Helping ont the "Loll" Short Interest. Yesterday morning THE NEWS printed cer? tain Important statements, showing the com? plicity of members of the President's family wi'h the gold sp?culations. The New York World gives an account of a further Interview bf ono of ita reporters with Mr. Jay Gould, lathe coursa of which tho fact was developed that Secretary Boutwen bas also been playing his game; and that his actual operations have avery different aspect when viewed In all their different relations from what has hitherto either appeared or been auupected. ' What has hitherto appeared has boen mainly a clue to tbo operations of thc bull clique.. Bat from additional Information lt looks us If tho origi? nators of tbe panic wera tho members of the bear ring, with Secretary Boutwell as primo agent THE BEAR RINO. But to give Mr. Jay Gould's own words s You understand that there were two part I es op? erating We know all about what the bun party did. for so far all the taut has teen about them; and, In order to get on the right track.of lt, we muet look at tho two sides ot. thc case?. Tuero IR BO doubt that we have been otertrading, and we had either to pay tor lt with ;'tjid or wu,, mu inn ducts of the country. Now, we raise certain things-cotton, wheat, corn, butter, cheese. Thc grout staples or thc country, however, are cotton, wheat, corn and tobacco. In cotton we compete to a certain extent with Egypt and ludia, but wo have a far greater competition lu corn and wheat. That competition comes from tho Black and tho Mediterranean seas. Th- competition is BO great between those countries aad America that lt en? tirely depends upon the price of gold whether wo can enter the markets against them or not. The reason ls. that they have cheap labor in all the ports bordering <>n tbe Mediterranean and water transportation to London and Liverpool, while we hu vo high-priced labor and long rai i road trans? portation to the seaboard, lt ls the premium on gold that equalizes tho diff?rence. Aa the pre? mium goes up beyond thc levelling point-on that depends whether we can send the grain abroad or not. i\ ' GOLD AT 146 BBTTBR TUAN AT 126. Mr. Gould. With gold . at about 146 we shan bc able to send produce mo the Liverpool and London marketa from America,, but .with gold at 126 the Mediterr?nea! and Bl oak Reas would have the whole trade, and our for? eign debts would have to be paid with gold or bonds. With gold at a high price, thc farmers would get a good price for grain, the railroads would get a good price for titnsportatlon, tho manufacturers would have a Mood market nut West, because the farmers, gciting a good price would be able to buy of them. What we raise In the country ls what you can ship abroad, but a case of goods you cannot ship abroad, yoe have (o use them here. M'CULLOOH NKV8K RUIN SD TAB COCNTRY. Mr. Gould. Ab, Mr. Mcculloch' understood that better than mest or them. He ueyer did anything during thc fall of the year when, thc crops were being moved-I mean that he nevar.did anything to depreciate thc price of gold, idfa the contrary, he always kept lt up to nu or Hi That was the average rall price of gold during tile post three years. I have given you all about the bull ?ide. I will now refer to the bear party in gold. Thia bear party ls made up bi a great) measure or for? eign house?, wtio expect to sell geld short-that ls, they sell for future delivery, .out! expect to cover their short sales of gold bv-j buying our pro? duce at the depreciated price or .gold. TUE FOREIGN BANKERS AND TU* "RADICALS. Mr. Fisk. You toke a hundred thousand dollars to a foreign banker and get bim to send lt to Eu? rope for you. He will give you a sixty days' bill that ls to say, be ' will sell that pill to yon. The moment he bas sold thal bill to you he becomes a bear In the market, because he can walt forty-live days. He looks forward to thc ehf br that forty five dayB to make his money, Th? whole, banking Interest in the City of New York aft bears In gola. The greatest rebels during the war were thc mem? bers of the Gold Exchange. The ?tombera of thc foreign exchange banking housctwerc the origi? nal bears. And they were, soon after thc break? ing out of the war, Joined by the Radicals of the Union League Club, who thoa attempted to ruin thc business of the country, not.HUdcrstandlng what was required to level tte exchange between this country and Europe. TUR BEARS FBI0HTBNE9. Mr. Gould. The bulls never exp.cted to carry gold over 140 or 146; but when they got it up to that point the Radicals got frightened; because, you see, Boutwell was unable to sell gold when tie was herc, aud that .frightened some or the bears. _,.? ' Reporter. Well, what was BoutweB's complicity in the business r ;. GOULD ON BOUTWELL. Mr. Goold. He did what he had no business to iio in interfering with the market- at all. Never was there such a chance for a nation to get rich. But when lie broke down the price Ot. gold, then tlown went the price of crops, and we have got to pull along on the dead level. Why, ten years ago if we were spending aa much money as wo are spending now, we should have got. finely scared, but now you eau spend money because all the people arc getting rich, ror tverrtrdjag you get jells at a higher price. Before roducrag the price af gold we ought to let everybody gfet-rlch; and then when the crash cornea nobody wbl suffer, lu Tact there wlU bc no crash. The only (rouble with tUa rise in the price of gold la, tn atv lt has, not lasted long enough. Let lt last us loiters lt cari; Jlil Boutwell has no more brains th arran oyster, ir he would not have Interfered. I<etrcohl foll to 116, and you can't ship a thing out urine country .hat will give you a dollar, when > gold waa at 145, cotton.- was selllnu ul ihlrty-Uva cents a X>und;when gold fell, cotton also fell elgin or line cents a pound.

TBS CM qc? AT TI1K E01TWHLL DINNER. Mr. Gquld. .And lt waa not that alone. Tue nome nt government Interferes there is also a OBS or confidence. When the finance minister of i great government alena lu to Interfere in a novement of the market, first orr one . side and hen on the other, he loses ali respect. - But, as I iras cay lug about the bears-they were joined by he Radicals and thc programme was to gel Bout . well bp to this dinner of the Union League-Club. Prank E. Howe waa sent, down to act as guard iver Boutwell. -The Radicals Invited parties who ?vere short of gold-there was Mr. Low, the tea merchant, he waa short.'. When he got np and sade a speech calling oh the Secretary to sell {old, every man round the table was Instructed LO make a tremendous clapping of hands. But titer this meeting with Boutwell, the bears began lo set discouraged, and endeavored to cover their gold contracts. That made the panic which carried up the price of gold. 'It was not the .julia who commenced the panic I com? menced selling gold at 137, and sold np to 162. I vas a constant seller all the time, lint rt wac he bears who got frightened and raised the price themselves. The bean got frightened over thc ;reat sales of gold which they had not got. ll rou take iso minions of short interest, with only 16 minions of actual gold In the market,- yo? nay soon get the bears frightened, because they mow the gold isn't there. They havcAold what they have not got. So, as I have said, lt waa thc jeers who got frightened. There ls another claai if bears that took another way of getting out ot the dioiculty, and saved themselves from loss, rh ey formed a combination here to make monej icarce, and in that way to depress the price o: told and stocks. They went Into the market buy ag uu the morning, and, of course, In the after loon they would be the parties who had money to loan. Accordingly they did go in and sell, ant they were the persons who produced the panic. The reporter inquired whether they were aldet n that by the Secretary directly. BOW BODTWBLL CREATED TOE PANIC Mr. Gould. When they torre all ready for (heft yperattons, they telegraphed to Washington U Ur. Boutwell to send on some bank inspector, ind put them into the Tenth National Bank: -Th ntentlon was to break that bank. They did no lend the regular bank eatoninor, Mr. Callender who knew that the bank was lu a strong and ?af Tosltion, but they sent men from Washington Itter strangers-the object being, in fact, to irreal he bank and create a panic. They knew that was largely interested in the Tenth Nations Sank, and that seems to me lo show Boutwell' :ompiletty in producing the panic. Certainly, tha was the object. ?ri Reporter. But what did the bear ring gain b [batt Mr. Gould. Why, of coarse, lt knocked dowi he price of gold, YOU see there was a split ii the ranks of the bears. The one party was dis vourged that Boutwell did co; help them, for h md at the first told parties that ho would not In erfere In Wall street. The other party got pot weston of him, ana he Tul ped them to make < Minto in the street. So you see there were tim tear parties, both fighting to get possession o loutwell, but only one succeeded In weaning hin iver. I also hold that the government, In Bellini fold, has violated an express statute. ! THE VIOLATED LAW OF 1862. The clause In the act of 1862 says: "Ant be it further enacted. That all duties oi mported goods which shall Gc paid In coln or li lutes payable on demand, or In notes hcrcaftc mthorlzed to be received and by law recelvabl n payment as public dues, shall be applied a ollows: "First. To th'e payment In coln as tho ?nteres in the bonds and notes of the United states. "Second. To the purchase or payment of on ter centum of the entire debt of tho unite.

What ls it to be paid Into thc Treasury r ho United Staten for? Why, for the samo pul msc that England and France keep large reserve if bullion and coln In their vaults-to gu?rante .ho payment of their notes. If tho Secretar wanted to do a good thing for the country wt. lld he not sell gold at 160, Instead of defcrrin tales till the next day, wru.it tho price bad sun o 180 T There was Just a difference of thirty pt sent., which amounted to 11,200,000. I say thc was a dead loss to the country. * BODTWBLL A CANDIDATE FOR TUB FRBSIDBMOY. Reporter. What could bs. Boutwell's motive i lUUuaf ,7 Mr. Could. Undoubtedly political.

Preaching at Swanage about' nine years ago on the distinction between man [ and all other animals, nc eula mai ute scien? tific Investigations had shown that human, blood differed In the shape of Its globules from the blood of any beasts or birds, "If, Indeed," he added, "birds have blood." -The newspaper business In Paris Is just now very brisk. The dangerous Illness of the Emperor Napoleon, tho Father Hyacintha movement, and the murder of the Kinck fam? ily, have ail contributed much toward enor? mously increasing the circulation of the more enterprising Paris journals. Thus, tho Figaro now prints eighty-five thouend copies more than lt did twoiuonths ago, the Gaulois forty "e'rght thousand copies,' and the PeUt Journal two hundred thousand copies, so thnt that spicy little sheet hos now a dally circulation of four hundred and twenty-five thousand copies. .. -Frederic GsJlsidet, the Paris correspond? ent of tho Courrier des Etats-Unis, takes the rollowlng^viewor the position of Pe re 'Hya? cinthe: "lie will be lost, I lear, In the de sort ol "public indifference.

Never bas the Coliseum been more beautiful than In the moving contrast of tho splendor of Its past and the magnificence of its rains.
