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.
