New York, March 18.?Tho geld pool, which now seems to have thorough con ? trol of the market, is conceded on all sides one of the strongest and by long odds tho most shrewdly managed of any in the history of monetary gambling. It was formed when gold was between 112 and 113, but so quietly were its move? ments conducted that it was many days before outside operators were awure of its magnitude. Point by point the indica? tor was marked up until to-day it re? corded 116} at ono time, the market clos? ing at 1161. Jay Gould is generally credited as the leading spirit in the ope? ration. The cash gold controlled by the pool is estimated at $15,000,000. Indica? tions show that tho pool is the strongest -one on record in cash resources. The | importations of gold from California have been almost unprecodontedly large for tho past three weeks. This slows clearly the power of tho clique, f existence depending upon a coi look Up, it has succeeded in buyii gold as it arrived, and has thus out of the market. . Washtnoton, March 23.?Tho/?hited States vs. the Home Insurance Ccjupnny, and the United States vs. the Etuthern Insurance and Trust Company. nAppeals from the Court of Claims. In t^ise cases the question was, whether the flsuranoe companies, having been ohartei fd by tho State of Georgia when in rebel<on, have any legal oxistenoe. The Clttrt held that, as the Legislature- was 'tho law making power of a State del facto, all enactments not in actual hostility to the Constitution and Union oT pTAo States, and not prohibited, must be! eld to have the ferae generally accorded > the action of de facto publio officers. Any other doctine, it is said, would work unneces? sary hardships upon the people of the States in rebellion, without [correspond? ing benefit to the people ?i tho other States, and without any ad vintage to the National Government Thi 'incorpora? tion Acts had no relation! to anything | else than the domestic concerns of the 1 State, and must be treated p valid. In respect of another point made in the case, that only persons wjo' could havo given aid and comfort n tho rebellion, can sue under the caplfied and aban? doned property Act, an - that these cor .pqrations oould not hat Jso aided the re? bellion, iC'*? n\nckl -ct/rfwiao, that they could, as corporations^ have so acted, and that they will be treated as persons.

New York, March 23.?The 'lribune says Andy Johnsons speech hardly met ordinate expectation. As an argument in the Louisiana case, it compares unfa? vorably with others. Johnson's views on the third term, reflections on Grant and Sheridan, will attract attention. The Times says the speech was nominally on Grant's course regarding Louisiana, but really on tho course and achievements of Andrew .Johnson?the same unending stream of disjointed boasting, with occa? sional Bhrewd and blunt points against his enemies. The Herald thinks tho speech will make a profound impression, by reason of its earnestness and courage. Virtually ?be speech is an impeachment ] of General Grant The World says tho speech will secure attention to the poli? tical situation.
