Telegraphic?American News.
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
