The New York Tinus of thin morning
prints the following important special des
patch: Washington, Sunday, June 13. Since the
discussion of the Alaluima question, both at
Louie and abroad, has taken ttuch a wide scope,
and since there has been such a decided reac
tion from ttic positions of Mr. Sumner's speech,
and since the proposition to make the question
a party issue meets with little serious counte
nance, it becomes more than usually interesting
to know precisely where the administration
Hands at present. The Gladstone Ministry will
in a few days otlielally understand our position,
and there can therefore bo no impropriety iu
stating the facts ns they exist.
ISo much has been said from tills point on
this subject, and such vague and contradictory
Accounts have been given of Mr. Motley's In
structions, that the public mind must he much
confused respecting the precise attitude of our
(iorcrnmcnt. Mr. Sumner, while never assert
ig in positive terms that those instructions
were based on his speech, lias, nevertheless,
nought to convev in his conversations the im
pression that lie had been substantially indorsed
and he has repeatedly stated that Mr. Motley
and himself were iu perfect accord upon the
subject. This latter assertion is very possibly
true. But Mr. Sumner knows what Mr. Motley's
instructions arc as thoroughly as does the mau
who wrote them, and his pride probably pre
vents him from making a frank admission of the
completeness of his defeat. No matter what Im
pressions he may convey in discussing the sub
ject, it is nevertheless known here that he is
mueh displeased with the instructions, and that
they are almost entirely at variance with his
views, for the following reasons:
First. Mr. Sumner wanted Mr. Motley In
structed to propose a reopening of the negotia
tions at once on the basis of his speech. Mr.
Motley's instructions were precisely the reverse
of this, to wit to make no overtures for tho
reopening of negotiations at present, but await
the action of the Knglish Government and the
development of events.
Second. Mr. Sumner wanted the instructions
to cover tho question of belligerency, which, he
insists in his speech, gives this (iovernmcnt a
claim against the British Government for
dawages or reparation. On tho contrary. Mr.
Motley was instructed to inform the British
Government at the proper time that the United
Btates, as a Government, has no claim against
Great Britain for damages because of her recog
nition of the'belligerency of the rebels.
IMS wnoie matter was maturely considered
hy the President, both in Cabiuet and out of
Cabinet, and in the light not only of our rela
tions to Great Britain, but our relations to
France, Spain, and other nations which recog
nized the bouth. in these discussions, the only
man who stood by Mr. Sumner's position was
Secretary Boutwell. Every other member of the
uatunet, as well as tne rresident, disapproved
very decidedly of the policy enunciated in Mr.
Isumner s speech, and the result of their delibe
rations was, as has been repeatedly stated in
your telegraphic despatches, that the adminis
tration on this question rcsalved upon the policy
of non-action.
These I know to be tlfc facts in the case, and
they define substantially the present attitude of
the administration.
I may add one word respecting the Cuban
question. The rresident, the Secretary of War,
and possibly one or two other members of the
Cabinet, were strongly desirous of taking early
steps towards the recognition of the insurgents.
But after a careful review of the whole situation.
it was formally decided that tho aspect of affairs
did not warrant action by tho Government.
i his was prior to the recent revolutionary events
on the island, since which there has been no re
consideration of the subject.
F'orcijfu Notes.
-A correspondent at St. Petersburg, writing on
the lHtli ult, says: "The negotiations with Homo
are entering into a new phase. It is stated here ou
(rood authority tnat tne rope lias or line snown a
very friendly disposition towards the Czar, anij has
requested that permission may be granted to the
Koman Catholic bishops in the empire to attend the
(Ecumenical Council. This request, it Is added, will
he complied with, but only on the condition that
tits Holiness shall direct the Polish clergy to
read prayers and deliver sermons In Itus
Fian. It is not yet known whether
the Pope is disposed to accept this condition. Couui,
l'.ohrynskl, who has Just been appointed Minister of
Communications, is one of the wealthiest of the
ltussian nobles, and belongs to the conservative
party, which, under Count Sohouvalon", is still domi
nant at uoun. li is nopeu mm no win introduce
some much needed relorms in the railway adminis
tration, which is in a very disorganized state. Dur
ing the last few months mere lias neen an enormous
number of railway accidents, owing chiefly to the
negligence of the oillelals. The Emperor, whose
health and energy have been constantly falling since
the attempt of Bere.owskl, is going next mouth with
tils lamiiy to tne Crimea."
It is announced In most of the French papers
that the principal shops in Paris will henceforth bo
closed on Sundays. This important social reform is
not the result of a religious movement, but has been
brought about by the same kind of agency which, in
England, has introduced the Saturday naii-hoiiuay.
The Society of the Employes de Commerce inform
the public that, with few exceptions, all the linen
drapers, vendors of ready-made apparel, silk mercers,
and hosiers of Paris have consented to close their
shops on Sunday, and the employes "appeal to the
good-will of the public to aid them In making the
measure general."
A great number of Czech families arc now esta
blishing themselves in the Caucasus, where special
advautages are given, them by the ltussian govern
ment. One colony, consisting of thirteen families,
has settled on the river Tclmb, and another of twenty
families on the river Tuapse, where they have built
a village called Pilenkova, after General Pileuko, the
Russian governor of the district. Thirty other fami
lies are now on their way to the Caucasus In the
K hooner Kedout Kale, and nearly live thousand
more are expected from Bohemia and
Moravia. The settlers have much greater
privileges than are allowed to colonists of otfcer
nationalities. To each family Is given 80 desslatins
(about 70 acres) of fertile land gratis ; and if It accepts
the ltussian nationality, it further becomes entitled
Ui a gratuity of 40 roubles (6) and an advance of KM)
limbics, repayable In llfteeii years. In tho event of
1 a bad harvest during the lirst two years of their resi
lience, the Government binds itself to supply them
I vwith provisions, the value of which Is repayable In
I the same ncr"l br tho advance, of money. Wood

The Election Excitement- Korlirfort' Addremi
Mitz7.ini In Purls The New Chnmher of
lrptilirn.
From our foreign exchanges we clip the following
extracts:
KoeiiEFORT's AnntiRsa.
M. Kochefort has addressed tho following to tho
electors of the Seventh Circumscription:
"Citizens No people has ever repented of having
taken a step In advance. The triumph of radicalism
must be complete. Paris cannot do less than Lyons
and Marseilles. The people of Paris will not act In
such a way as to make the second scrutiny a rernloule,
and what the electors have to do Is to give expres
sion to their sentiments in the most energetic man
ner. The reactionary party has often mixed my
name with those of Hospall, Bailed, and (Jambotta;
1 ask you, citizens, to give me a seat In the Corps
l'glslatif by the side of them. We have been re
presented as something fearful, as something awful.
We ourselves, on the contrary, are tilled with awe
and amazement when we think of tho many social
problems which demand solution, aitd to
which so many men shut their eyes the
miserable condition of women, the frightful en
croa diluent of capital, and the Instruction of children
who are set to work so soon, and whose Intelligence
Is developed so late. The (lay when the whole o
France knows how to read and write, arbitrary rule
and falsehood will breathe their last. This Is why
the majority of France have been for centuries past,
so carefully pent up In an Ignorance favorable to the
designs of despotism. What we havu to do is to en
force the application to public instruction of the
millions squandered away In useless and even
wicked expeditions. For these various tusks the
country wants energetic men whom nothing can
move, and who will not allow themselves to be over
come by such arguments as divine missions and pro
vidential Interventions. Citizens, I know not what
the future has in store for France, but if she faKs
into fresh traps and new dangers, I confidently be
lieve that yon will say of me when the peril is over:
'lie was with those who did their duty.'

MAZZINI IK PARIS.
London Time Correspondence, June 1.
The GmiUjU of last night affirmed, and 1 wonder
that the news has not made more sensation here,
that Mazzinl, who Is nnder I know not how many
sentences front French courts, came through Paris,
walked In the Passage Joutrry, sat down and smoked
a cigar in front of one of the cafes on the Boulevards,
and, as he was setting his foot on board the steamer
at Boulogne to go to England, put into the hands of
a messenger a telegraphic despatch to the Prefect of
Police, to Inform him that he had just passed unper
ceived under his nose. This reads like romance, and
most llkelv it Is; but the (iauloi Is responsible for it.
TUB MEANING OK THE ELECTIONS IN TUB GREAT
CITIES.
"A Parisian correspondent" writes to the London
Time of May SI : " If you will get at the true rea
son for the clean sweep of the Parisian representa
tives, yon will find in the end that they are blamed
and dismissed for having sat six years in the House
without having contrived any great and decisive
event, and for having confronted the Government
during six years without having been able to over
throw it."
POSITION OF TOR GOVERNMENT IN TOE NEW CHAMBER.
"A Parisian Correspondent" writes In the London
Time of May 81 : "There is no doubt that the Gov
ernment would accept gladly ten Uaspails in the
House rather than one Thiers.) A fast, too fast, com
ing future will prove that the absurdity of such a
policy is equal to Its wickedness, and that a great
nation cannot be - safely pent In between two
scourges, and dally ordered to choose lietween per
sonal government and demagogy. With a Hoche
fort, a Bancel, and a dozen others like them In the
House, dimcult to bear with, Impossible to touch,
and hacked In all their attempts by the popular sym
pathy of an immense capital, not to speak of the
support of the working classes throughout the em
pire, the Government will be able after a short time
to keow the falseness of its calculation and the hol
lowness of its present Joy."
CUBA.
Unsettled State of Adair.
The Tivie this morning says: "We understand
that our Consul-General at Havana, Mr. Plumb, has
sent despatches to the Government at Washington
making Inquiry as to his course of action under the
present anomalous state of affairs existing in the
island of Cuba. The men who are now in control at
the Palace, after their seizure of power and expal
slon of the Spanish representative, have undertaken
the administration of government without the au
thorization of the Madrid authorities, and It is now
impossible to tell what shape affairs may assume at
any hour, or what may be tho final result of the con
dition of anarchy now Impending over the island.
There are many very important Interests In Cuba
that demand the judgment and decision of Consul-
general Plumb, ami tnat demand special instruc
tions adapted to the present unexpected, extraordi
nary and revolutionary condition of things."
Hccretury Finn Defends bin Cuban l'oliey Noii-
reeoKintion or Aid lu tne liiHiirKcnts.
It seenis the Cuban sympathizers here were a little
premature in the hopes they entertained on Saturday
of speedy recognition on the part of our Government.
Thev supposed that the almost total disappearance
of the Spanish authority would naturally lead Secre
tary l' lsn to recognize at once tne ouiy otner power
on the island, thst of the patriot Cubans. Mr. Fish,
however, is still disposed to make haste siowiy. ue
acknowledges that the power of Spain has virtually
llsannearcd from the island, nothing remaining ol
It but the mob known as the Spanish volun
teers; but he thinks it unwise to abandon
the noiicv wnicn no nas nereioiore pursued to
wards Cuba. This policy, the Secretary insists, has
been and is tne best lor tne patriot Cubans as well
as for our Hovernment. He regards the present con
dition of aflairs In Cuba as proof of the wisdom of
his policy. Had he been guided by the urgent ap
peals of the Cuban agents, or listened to the popular
clamor, and recognized the belligerent rights of
Cuba, the Secretary thinks he would only have
created complications which would have prolonged
the struggle, Spain would prouaniy nave made an
extra ellbrt, and might have excited the sympathy,
und possibly secured the aid of some European
power. All tins, jr. nsn argues, nas oeen avoiueu
by simply allowing events to tuke their own course.
Cideb dishing Is among those who com
pliment Mr. Fish on his policy, and, during a call at
the Department of State to-day, said that Mr. Fish
deserved the thanks of the country. Mr. Fish thinks
he sees the end of the trouble in Cuba. He does not
believe that action on the part of the Government
would hasten It, while it might, just at this juncture,
delav It. The indications are that the Spanish volun
teers will gtt up a revolution ou their own account
anions themselves, ending wun a rcpcuuon oi me
old storv of the Kilkenny cats. They have the upper
hand, and It win be necessary ror wnoeverissent out

that 11 let aione me spauisu power iu uuoa, or ramer

London, June 13. After n Cabinet meeting
held ycBterday, an nnautlienticated rumor pre
vailed that an oflicial communication from Mr.
Motley, the American Minister, liad been pre
sented by Lord Clarendon. Rumor says that
the document informs bcr Majesty's Govern
ment of the rejection of the Alabama treaty by
the United States Senate. It further states
that tho ground for rejection was the insuffi
ciency of the treaty to produce a full settle
ment of the questions of dispute between the
two countries. It implies the concurrence
of the present administration in "Wash
ington with the reasons and views of
the Senate which declined to ratify the treaty.
Mr. Motley, in his comunication, says that ho is
instructed to express tho earnest desire of the
American people for a speedy and friendly re
moval of all matters of difference by a treaty
doing full justice to all parties, leaving no
question open for future misunderstanding or
complications. He further states his readiness
to receive and consider liberally any proposition
which her Majesty's Government may make for
a full and impartial settlement of tho interna
tional questions involved in the issue, as well as
all claims of individual citizens growing out of
any action cither nation may have taken during

The Het ks county Journal savs: The suspension
of mining operations in the Schuylkill, Lehigh, and
l.uzerne regions has now lasted over a mouth. Its
ellects are beginning to be seriously felt. The stock
of coal at the (intercut shipping points and In the
eastern cities Is dwindling down rapidly. The most
serious results of the suspension, however, are leit
among our large Iron manufacturers. Through
llerks county, so far as we hear, tho supplies
of our furnace and rolling-mill owners will still
hold out, and will last some weeks vet, but in
the Lehigh Valley several furnaces ami mills have
been conqs lled to stop a'ready tor want of fuel, and
more will have to do so it the strike continues st 11
longer. Even the Reading Railroad Company, we
see it stated, are using bituminous coal on some of
their locomotives to keep their trains miming, in a
word, we are on tho eve of a coul ramiuo that will
result in the Ions of millions of dollars to the iiiaiiu
faeturibg Interest of the State, unless the miners
again speedily get to work. lieu tho susprnsion
Hist coniiimnced, It was generally understood to lie
owing to a mutual understanding among the opera
tors and their incii to raise the price of coal. Hut
the relations of the parties have since changed. It
Is a "strike" now to all Intents and purposes. Em
ployers and employed are antagonistic,, and not
willing to come to terms. The men demand in
creased wages at a llxed rate when coal sells at 3 a
ton at the mines, and an upward sliding scale of
20 percent of any advance above that price. The
operators will not consent to this, and say they
will keep their mines closed nil summer rather
than submit to dictiuion In the mutter. The "General
Council of Miners," a secret repr.tseutal.ive body, tu
which all workmen yield Implicit obedience, met at
Tumaqua last Monday, but their action has not been
made public. The same body holds meetings every
two or three days, and is lu constaut conference
with leading operators lor the purpose or negotiating
a scale of prices. The general linpresslou is that au
arrangement will be ellected mutually satisfactory
to employers aud employed, in the course of next
week, and that operations, at farthest, will bo re
sumed by the 1st of July, lu the meantime, the price
of coal on hand is likely to continue to advance, and
consumers should purchase only for their immediate
wants. Thus far, In Reading, the advance on coal
has been about fl per toM compared with what it
was when ths strike commenced.
A DESTERATE MAN.
Attempt to Arrrnt a .MinHoitrl IIimhvThnchrr
sbnrp I'lutitlnK-Oiic Man Killed and Two
Wounded.
A special despatch from St. Louis, dated yesterday,
says: The St. Louts Time savs that Information
has been received at the oltlce of the Chief of Police
id a desperate in tempt to arrest the notorious
bushwhacker, Sam Illldebruiid, whose entiles during
the war made him an object of general hatred ami
tear. It appears that .lames .McLean, of Washing
ton county ovho was one of lilldchraiid's victims),
snw him standing lu his own door-yard, near Itig
River Mills, on the 4th Instant, and ilred a revolver,
wounding him seriously In the thigh. Itclng alone,
McLean returned to town for reinforcements, dur
ing which time Jiildchranil made his escape, and was
lost sight of until Thursday last, when Mr. Itreckeu
rldge, the Sherltr of Washington county, received
Inloruiatleti that he was at his uncle's house, about
twelve miles south of lrondale, lu St. Krancls county.
On Friday, with a force of sixteen olllcers, the Slieritf
surrounded the house nnd demanded a surrender.
Hildctirand gave no reply, but, reaching his arm out
of the, window, took deliberate aim and shot Mr.
llreckeliridge seriously iu the groin aud slightly
wounded another of the party. Word was
then sent to lrondale, I'otosl, and Desoto for
reinforcements, nnd iu obedience to the tele
gram Chief of l'olice Lee detailed Sergeant
Howen and Officers Voorls and Macpieen
to nssist in the capture. They left on the 4 P.M.
train of Friday, lu the meiiuti'me nearly two score
or deputies went to llrcckenrlilge's assistance, ami,
taking refuge in the woods and adjacent, houses,
kept up a continual tire on the log cabin in which
llildebraiid had sought shelter, nnd to which a return
tire was given, Willi little dniiinge on either side.
About 6 o clock in the evening .McLean, iu tint midst,
of a hot tire, climbed up the roof of iiildebrand's
house, and succeeded In setting fire to the roof by
means or cotton and turpentine balls. He then
descended from the roof, aud, entering the house,
commenced tiring at llildebraiid through the chinks,
but was soon struck In the breast and instantly killed
by a bullet I mm Iiildebrand's revolver. From this
tune up to 8 o'clock, a period of two hours, nothing
was done except to keep a close watch ou the pre
mises. At 8 o'clock, llildebraiid crawled out of the
back door and escaped to the woods unseen by the
sixteen men who surrounded the house. During
the cross-tiring, llildebraiid was wounded several
times, but it is supposed no, very seriously. The
St. Louis police force did not reach tho scene
or action until Saturday morning, and are, there
fore, not responsible for the escape of Illldebrand.
The country olllcers believe that llildebraiid
had on a bullet-proof vest, but It Is more probable
that the shots tired at him were wild and un
steady. Hut little Is known of llildebraiid s history
until the breaking out of the war In 1861, when he
became associated with Quantrell In the guerilla
service, and during the progress of the war In South
east Missouri he is asserted to have been guilty of
repeated acts of cruelty. It Is rumored that he robbed
McLean of a considerable sum of money and then
ravished his sister. In lSiHi he was in command of a
small cavalry force at Ricliwoods, and not long
thereafter absolutely quartered an old man and com
pelled his aged wife to witness the butchery. On the
following day one of his associates was captured
near 8L Aubert, and, after a drum-head court-martial
of fifteen minutes' duration he was condemned
to death, and fell pierced with eight Mlnle balls.
A party from this city will start In Immediate pur
suit of llildebraiid, and It is believed he will be
captured.

Monday, June 14, 1869. (
The local Money market works a little close to-day,
with a somewhat active demand, but the batiks pro
fess to be well supplied with currency, and lend and
discount trcely to regular customers, but in relation
to outside paper they are evidently shortening sail.
The public sentiment Is pretty eveuly divided lie
tween satisfaction and dissent at the course or the
Secretary of the Treasury In relation to the weekly
gold sales and his disposition or the proceeds. There
are very many who believe that the temporary with
drawal of a million and a quarter of currency from
circulation every week must create a stringency In
the end, and seriously alfect the crop movements of
the Northwest, whilst others directly charge to this
short-sighted policy the present excitement prevail
ing In the New York market. It Is a subject of very
great Importance, and we trust that Mr. Boutwell
w ill investigate the matter thoroughly, and change
or continue his course as the best Interests of the na
tion may demand.
Call loans are quite firm at 5J6 per cent,, accord
ing to collaterals, and discounts at 6a)S per cent. lor
prime mercantile paper.
The (Jovernment loan market is dull and prices
are unchanged. Uohl opened this morning at 139 V,
and sales were quoted on Third street at 12 M.

Tlie Ie-v York Money Market.
JVowi the A. V. Herald.
"A feature of the week was the sudden stringency
of the money market on Thursday lait, when as high
as a quarter of one per cent, per day interest was
paid on cull. There was a moderation or these rates
to gold interest, and exceptionally seven per cent,
on Saturday; but It is yet a singular state of things
that in June, when money has been worth only three
and four per cent., It should command these exorbi
tant rules. The fact Is the money market Is in an
unhealthy state, and w hether tho blame lies Willi
Mr. Boutwell ror Increasing his currency balance
to the detriment or the business Interests or the
city, or whether It is the result or artlllchil
Influence, or a combination or these with
tlie natural drain of currency to supply a brief de
mand from the couutry districts, from the watering
places, In their process of renovation, and tor the
gathering of the wijul crop and the like, it Is dis-
crodltablejto ns as a people that such ma' tors should
occasion so much derangement. No cliqnes onght
to be able to make even a seven per cent, money
market In June, while the withdrawal of the trifling
stuns required for the wool crop or for tho prepara
tion of summer resorts should not be felt in the
least. The banks on Saturday showed a disposition
to contract, and they too are likely to cause
spasmodic tltictuntlons; for whllo no day Is as yet
specified, It Is only reasonable to expect that the
Comptroller of the Currency will soon call for their
second statement. Mr. Boutwell meant right In
trying to tight the gold gamblers, and counted upon
a summer of ease In money, but he has been unfor
tunate In being overtaken by so many unlooked-for
accidents to the snfe working or his plan. Congress .
will not meet again betore December to give us new
laws for a readjustment of the currency. Hence the
prospect for the remainder or the year Is not a very
nattering one. Here is a very simple question if
money is worth an eighth and a quarter per cent.
In June, what will it be worth In September and Oc
tober? "The bank statement presented on Saturday was
certainly not a favorable one, but the street had been ,
led to look for such a very bad one that It appeared
favorable by contrast. There Is a decrease ol nearly
two aud a hair millions iu legal-tenders and a trilling
pain in specie. The loans have been contracted
ubout tour millions, showing the elfect of the heavy
'drop' in stocks during the week and the efforts of
the bunks to place themselves on a more
conservative footing. Tho deposits have fallen
off over $.ooo,imki mid the circulation Increased
$t00,oo). The loss In legal-tenders represents the
payments Into the Siib-Tieasury for the gold sold by
the Government and the payments of Internal reve
nue taxes. The specie Item shows that tho exports
thereof and the payments for customs were Just
equal to the disbursements of the Treasury. The de
crease in deposits Is the sequence of tho contraction
in loans. The totals or the last two statements are
contrasted as follows:
