THE SECRET HISTORY OF TIIE 0 OLD PANIC. The Congroflsional committee appointed to inquire into the proceedings conneotod with the gold panio of last September have per formed their duty very thoroughly, and the aeoret history of that affair is completely ex posed in the report they submitted yesterday. The story, as a whole, is as sensational as a red-hot modern drama, and while its expo sures of the artinoos, recklessness, rascali ties, and mutual betrayals of the New York gold speculators invest it with more than the usual interest attendant upon spectacles of wiokednewt, the attempt to involve in the meshes of this gigantio speculation the high est authorities of the Government gives to the topio a national importance beyond that which arises from the effect of the gold panic upon the business interests f the country. The leading actor and ooncoctor of the scheme was Jay Gould. Gorbin was his principal tool. Fisk was in part his ally and in part his dupe. The key of the com bination was the degree of sucoess which attended the efforts of Gorbin to deoeive and Influence the President. A host of subordi nate characters and incidents are embraced in the plot, but their fate hinged on the transac tions of the four principal actors already named. Gould, the master-spirit, felt confident that he could suooeed in his scheme if the ad ministration could be persuaded that the national interests would be promoted by a temporary enhancement of the price of g"li. Various agenoies were employed to effect this object, but the most direct was the per sonal influence of Mr. Corbin with his illus trious brother-in-law. Being well paid to undertake this task ($25,000 was actually re ceived) , Mr.' Gorbin was speedily persuaded that an increase of the prioe of gold would facilitate the exportation of breadstuff s, and that whatever the Government could do to "procure good prices for the products of the West they ought to do." After being a (paid) convert to this theory, Gorbin made strenuous efforts to convince the President of its cor rectness. His own testimony on this subjoot embraces the following statement: "Having a natural desire for the success, tbe first year at least, or tbe administration of ray wife' brother, I Improved every opportunity to impress udoii him what I thou ah t was a vital polut, and that was to let the farmers and mechanics ami manufacturers have good prices for their pro ductions." It is not positively known that the repre sentations made by Gorbin had a particle of weight with the Executive, but a combination of influences and reasonings seems to have led him to adopt conclusions whioh are thus ex pressed by the committee: "About the 1st of September, and Just before leaving New York, the President wrote a letter to Secretary Boutwel!, who was then at his home iu Massachusetts, in which tbe President spoke of the flnaactal condition of the country, and suggested that It would not be wise to sell geld in sunu larg amounts as to force down the price while the crops were moving, as It might thus embarrass the YVe.-tc This letter was received by the Secretary on tbe 14th of September, and though It gave him bo order, but left the whole subject to his discretion, yet he concluded not to sell so large an amount durlnif September as he had done In the preceding rumtim, and telegraphed tbe Assistant Secretary at Wash ington not to sell any gold in addition to tbe amouut required for the sinking fund. "Whether the conspirators obtalnod any know ledge of this letter and telegram the committee bare been usable to determine; bat on the 3ilaud4thof September gold again commenced to rise rapidly, and on the 6th touched vtfi." If indirect aid was rendered to tke conspirators by this letter and telegram, it is oonoeded that the President was influenced solely by patriotic considerations, and while it is possi ble that he was imposed upon by Gorbin, it is not improbable that his opinion was alto cether uninfluenced by the arguments of his jobbing brother-in-law. Gould, not satisfied with subsidizing Cor bin, alleges that he also placed the Assistant Treasurer at New York, General Butterfield, under pecuniary obligations by buying and carrying for his profit $1,500,000 of gold, This allegation is denied by Butterfield, but even if full credit is given to this denial, bis record is sufficiently damaged by other dis closures to justify his removal from office. ' Then Fisk was summoned as an ally. To insure his hearty co-operation, the extent of Gould's affiliations with the administration were grossly exaggerated. lie was not only told that Corbin and Butterfield were subsi dized, but avowed that the President, Mrs, Grant, and General Porter were corruptly interested in the movement,, and that the Secretary of the Treasury had been forbidden toseuRoia. -mere not a particle oi en- denoe to justify these acousations, and the real explanation of their axistenoe appears to be the trick played on f to secure his desperate co-operation with th conspiracy For a time all worked well for the gold gamblers. But they were constantly haunted by the fear that large sales of goli by the Government would defeat their plana. To prevent this, Gorbin wrote to the President, while he was sojourning at Washington, Pennsylvania, a letter which Fisk forwarded by a trusty agent, in whioh he probably urged the plea of "patriotic considerations" against Bales of gold more strongly than ever. This letter, however, instead of effecting the de sired object, had a directly contrary effect. It awakened in Grant's mind suspicions of Gor- bin's duplioity, and it was virtually avowed by a letter of Mrs. Grant to Mrs. Corbin, say, ing that "rumors had reached her that Mr. Gorbin was connected with speculators in New York, and that he (the President) hoped that if this was so be (Corbin) would disen Cage hjmjef from, them, a, ynoej thftt bo C'Ua President) was very much distressed by such rumors." This letter deeply alarmed Gould and Corbin, and thoir rocoption of its con tents is thus portrayed by the committee: "The picture of these two msn that night, as pre- I scntrd In the evidenon. Is a remarkable one. Hhut up In tlio library near miiinlgDt, Oorhlu wai beii'luiif over the tatHe. and straining with dim eys U deci pher and read the content of a letter, written In noiicll to his wltn. while the great gold gam ilor. looking over his ahouldur, caught with his sharper vision evry word. "The envelope was examined with Its post mark and date, and all the circumstances whioh lent sig nificance to the document. In that Interview 0ir Mn had the advantage, for ho had had time to ma ture a plan. He swims to have determined by a new deception to save his credit with the President, and at the same lime reap the profit from hlsspeoulv tlon with Mr. Gould. He represented to Mr. (iould the danger of allowing the President any reason to believe that he (Corbin) was engaged In specula. tlon, and said he had prepared a letter to the lTealrient denying that he had any Interest In the movement direct or Indirect, and said that be must scud the letter by the II rut mall, but that In order to send It it must be true. He proposed, therefore, t Mr. Gould, that they should settle the purchase of a million and a half by Mr. Gould paring to him the accrued nrotlt.whlch. a gold stood that night, would amount to over $100,000, In addition to the $2,000 lie had already received. Mr. Gould was unwilling either to refuso or accept tne proposition, rear ful, on the one hand, of losing his money. and on the other of incurring Sorbin's hostility, he asked a delay until morning, and In the mean time enjoined and maintained secrecy in regard to the existence of the letter. The noxt morning they met again, and concerning this interview their testimony duagreus. Corbin says that Gould olTored blm f 1 00,noo on account if he would remain In the pool, hut swears that by a herolo effort of virtue on Ills part, and arged by the entreaty of his wife, he declined the offer. Gould swears that Cor bin inplsted on receiving full payment and discharge. Corbin says that Gould gave him a look of - deep distrust, exclaiming, 'If the consents of Mrs. Grant's letter are known, I am a ruined man I coroin promised seorecy. ana tne coLference broke up." We have not the spaoe to follow the trans action to its close. Fisk was doceived into advancing $100,000 by the representation that Corbin needed it to "deal out to people" who could influenoe the President, but the money was never paid to Corbin, and quiokly on the heels of the reoeption of Mrs. Grant s letter followed the desperate proceedings at the Gold 'Board with whioh the public is already familiar. A NEW THROUGH LINE BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA AND NEW YORK. A bill is now under consideration in the New Jersoy Legislature whioh grants to the Mill stone and Trenton Railroad Gompany autho rity to build a bridge aoross the Delaware river above the Trenton City Bridge, and to make such extensions of its line and "such contracts with other corporations chartered by Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or New York, as will secure the construction and operation under one management of a continuous rail road, with one or more traoks from any point in the city of Philadelphia to any point in or near the city of New York. In return for this privilege the company proposos to pay to the State of New Jersey, in addition to the annual taxes imposed by existing laws, tke sum of $.r00,000 as soon as its track is laid down and running connections for a through line between Philadelphia and New York are completed. We understand that this bill will be earn estly pressed upon the consideration of the legislators of New Jersey, aid we do not see how they can refuse to pass it. It will put money into the treasury of the State, help to develop the resources of the line traversed, and to aooommodate looal travel, and at the same time serve a national purpose of no mean importance in facilitating intercourse between New England and New York and all other sections of the Union. The travel and transportation over New Jersey are so enor mous that there is no danger that too many through lines stretohing from the North to the South will be established over her soil; and not only her own citizens but undoubt edly the whole travelling and commercial publio will be accommodated by an increase of her railway facilities. If the Legislature does not adopt the propo sition now under consideration, they will find it a little difficult to explain to their constitu ents why a proffer of half a million of dollars was rejected, and why portions of the State, as well as the travellers and transporters of the whole nation, are denied useful railway facilities. A painful rumor reaoneB us that In oase Butler of Tennessee "resigns" to avoid any unpleasantness with his colleagues in the House of Representatives on acoount of his alleged connection with the sale of cadet ships, Andrew Johnson will be elected to ocoupy his seat during the remainder of the term. In the Senate, Mr. Johnson would have gotten along tolerably welL That body has a dignified way of doing things, and suou an intractable individual as the emancipated ex-President would not only be kept within bounds, but the animosity of the majority would be somewhat curbed. In the House, however, personal invective is generally given full swing, and the entrance of Andrew John son upon its floor would be the signal for a series of tilts that would soon become monotonous. ' Tub publio debt, according to the state ment published by us yesterday, shows a de crease of $6,484,811 during the month of February. This is a fair specimen of radio.il extravagance. TIIB FINK ARTS. Hherldan'a Hide. Sheridan's ride from Winchester to Cedar Creek on the 19th of October, 1864, and tbe turning of a bitter defeat into a brilliant victory, was one of the most dramatic Incldeuts of tbe war for the suppression of the Rebellion, and it confirmed the hero of the day In the opinion of General Grant, his brother officer, and the Deonle of the country as "one of the ablest of srenerals." The incident excited the utmost enthusiasm, and it U not surprising that U should be seized upon as the subject of a lyric. Mr. T. Buchanan Read, in a moment of inspira tlon, dashed off the spirited poem that has served to make "Sheridan's Ride" a house hold word, '"add tbe same evening It was rea'd an immense audience iu Cincinnati by James E. Murdoch, Esq., and was reeelved with the greatest enthusiasm. Indeed this poem is almost a model of Its klud, and, like the inul dent It celebrates, it has just the qualities to hit the popular fancy. It is therefore no wonder that it became one of tbe best known and long' est remembered of all the patriotic lyrics elicited by the struggle for tbe preservation ot the Union, and at often as It has been repeated, it never falls . to exolto the utmost enthusiasm when recited by a competent elocutionist. It has done almost as much to perpetuate the fame of Bherldan as bis gallant deeds In the fluid, and tlio doughty lltllo General Is one of tbo flrt to acknowledge his Indebtedness to tho poet. As Mr. Read is an artlt as well as a poet, It Is natural that lie should desire to represent the subject of his verses on canvas. Ho conse quently visited New Orleans when Sheridan was In command there, and made the necessary studies of the General and tho black steed that bore him from Winchester to Cedar Creek on that vcnlful day. The picture was a commission from the u nion League of Philadelphia, and Mr. Read having established himself iu a studio at Korae, de voted Limsclf to tbo elaboration of what be in tended should be his maslcr-ploce. After tbe com pletion of ihe picture, tho Uulon League granted permission for its exhibition for a limited period, for the benefit of the artist, and It was accordingly placed In the hands of Mr. T. B. rugh, who engaged tho Acadotny of fine Arts for the purpose of showing it to tho public. A private view of the work was given last even ing, to which a largo number of ladies and gen tlemen were invited, and to-day the public exhi bition will commence. Tho moment chosen for Illustration is the arrival of heridau in the midst of his disor panisod army. Tho black horse, covered with foam, Is dashing along at full speed, and the General, swinging bis sword above his head, looks as if about to charge single-handed Into the ranks of tho enemy. The horse and rider aro relieved agalust tho smoke and dust of the battle, amid which are dimly seen the forms of the combatants. It is Sheridan and his steed, however, that make tho picture, which is un doubtedly the most meritorious work that Mr. Read has ever executed. T. Buchanan Road is not ordinarily one of the most vigorous of painters, and his Bubjoct must have inspired him to an unusual degree to produce anything as spirited as the heads of the rldor and tho horse in this work. The pic ture Is distinguished by many of the most palpable faults of Mr. Read's stylo, and in some points it is exceedingly weak. The figure of Sheridan is stiff, and the action of the horse's legs suggests too palpably a boy's rocking-horse. In spite of its deficiencies, however, tho work is one that does credit to tho artist, and it has all the elements of popularity that will make it a favorite of tho public. In conjunction with the painting Mr. Pugh exhibits and receives subscriptions for chrotno lithographlc copies, SO by 85 inches. This cbrouio was executed at one of the best estab- IbjhmenU in Europe, and in some respects it is an improvement on the picture. The figure of Shcridun in particular is better, and the logs of the hore do not have quite such a wooden appearance as in the orlglual. The cbrouio is one that will undoubtedly have an extensive tale both on account of Its merits as a work of art and the popularity of its subject. Arllailc Inspiration. Mr. Edward Moran during the winter has been engaged In working up bis large picture Illus trative of a pataage from the Book of Job, painting upon it whenever a sublime mood came upon him, and tho work has now approached a point when the btlmulant of an extraordinary inspiration is necessary if the artist hopes to keep up to the level of his subject. The public are curious about artistic methods: they long to peep behind tho scenes at the theatre, to look in upon an artist when he is in the act ot working a chaos of colors upon his canvas into forms of grace and beauty, or to gaze upon a poet with his eye in fine frenzy rolling evolving au epio from tbe depths of his inner consciousness. Such bights, however, are only accorded to tbo favored few, and we almost fear that wo are be traying a sacred confidence In telling our readers how Moran contrives to get up an artistic Inspi ration for tbo finishing touches of his Job pic ture. Moran intends that this shall be his masterpiece, and this is the manner in which he evohes sublimity from tubes of cadmium. permanent blus, light red and silver white. At the appointed hour Messrs. Mackay and Craig of the Arch Street Theatre make their appearance, and find Moran, with the ends of his moustache well stiffened with mastic var nith, and a large family Bible open before him at tho passage in the Book of Job which he has taken for the subject of his great work. The three confreres shake hasds in silence, and then Moran goes to tho corner of the room and turns on the water into the wash-hand basin, which for all essential purposes sufficiently simulates the rushing of mighty waters. Mackay takes the Bible into another corner, and commences to read aloud the most elevated passages In the Book of Job, and Craig sits at the pluno and plays a thunder-storm galop. Moran gazes at his canvas for a momeiit, and then after running his fingers through his hair, he takes in hand his largest brubhes, and In a moment more the canvas Is covered with buge blotches of cadmium and white, which gradually resolve themselves Into golden-tinted clouds or feathery spray, and as Mackay reads, aad Craig thumps on the piano, and the water in the wash-basin hisses and splutters, the artist works on with fiery energy until the shades cf evening fall upon tho scene, aud the three friends em brace aud depart their several ways, Moran to get his dinner and Mackay and Craig to dress for tbe evening perfoimance at tbe Arch. It is oovious mat unoer eucu influences as these Moran can scarcely iau to produce a picture that will place him la the front rank of American urtlbts. Even iu its comparatively crude aud unfinished condition, this illustration of tbe grand old Hebrew poem indicates a power and a poetical feeling that are ahead of anything that Morau has yet done; and we take the liberty of giving voice to a rumor that the artist intends to offer it to tbe Academy of Fine Arts as a contribution towards a collection of the works of Philadelphia artists that he thinks that Inst! tution ought to commence forming. Owing to a little misunderstanding between Moran and the Directors of tbe Academy, there is some doubt in his mind as to whether the Academy will accept this work; but as the institution was never known to refuse anything that it could get without paying for, be thinks that be will be safe in ordering a frame and making the offer, without much danger that it will be declined. piNIl MTATIONGBVi AKMi, MONOGRAMS, ILLUMINATING, xm DHKKA, 1033 OHR8NUT Street, Card Knsrarsr and btatlonw.
