The following statement may bo regarded as eeim-oiliclal, and its publication authorized by an act of Congress, passed J uly 8, 1870: Considetablo disscussion having taken place In the newsnatiers relative to the retirement of ex- Secretary Cox from the Cabinet, and allusion Laving been made to the existence of other corres pondence between the President and Mr. Cos besides that covering tho resignation or tuat gen tleman, it Is thouubt troner. in justice to all par ties, to Eivo to the country the letters relating to tLe withdrawal of Mr. Cox from the Cabinet. It bus been intimated that among the reasons tor the resignation ol Mr. Cox was a difference between tho President and himself as to the propriety or issuing, a patent from the Land Office iu what is known as the McUarraban claim. Upon this point the following correspondence win explain itself: Long Bbahch, K. J., August 22,1870 Hon. T. D. Cox. Secretary of the Interior Dear Sir: I un derstand that you have appointed one day this week to hear areunients in the McUarraban case. 'J bat is well enough, because if Congress should fail to settle that case we may have to do it, and the fcoouer we know the points of it the better. However, as the matter had been taken in hand by Congress before the incoming of this Administra tion, and as so much fraud is charged and believed to exlbt on both sides, I am not willing that my name should be signed to a patent for either party until Congress had either decided or declared their inability to do so. I wish you would say to Mr. White, secretary for - algtiiDg patents, not to put my name to that one except on special orders from me through you. He must not take orders from Mr. Wilson in the mat ter. J have grown suspicious of Mr. Wilson and will tell you only wnen i go w Washington next. Yours truly, U. S. Gbamt. DEPARTMENT 0 THB INTKBIOB, WASHINGTON, August 23, 1870 My Dear Sir: Yours of yesterday Is ibis morning received, and I have given your directions iu regard to signing a patent to the new eoiitlued to his bed by felckness. As I am informed ou the subject ot the McUarrahan buaiuetsa itself, I think yon mint have been misinformed as to Its Katun in Con green. According to tho format opinion given by the Attorney General last year, the case is In no snch fence before Congress as to Interrupt or impede the action of the Department under the laws; but the parties have the same right to insist upon a hearing and decision there that they have in any other caee where they claim a decision upon their rights nndcr the explicit provisions of the statutes. Congress has assumed no peculiar Jurisdiction of the subject. MrOarrahan petitioned, tho last Congress, as he had the two preceding Oongrepson, to make film a rant of lands in California, including within the miindaries named In a pretended grant to ono Go mez.,whieh tho Supreme Conrt of the United States declared void In l.5. He has appealed to Congress in vain. At the last session it was again before tho .ludiciary Committee of the lloitso of Keprosenta tlves, and the parties consented to suspend the con test in this Department till that Committee should paps cpon the matter of the petition. Tho committee did pass upon it, and by a vote of 7 to 3 determined to report against granting the prayer of his petition, and directed Mr. Poters of that committee to draw up their report. Mr. Pe ters' statement of these facts is tiled with the pa pers in this department. The New Idria Mining Company now claim that their business should bo taken up and disposed of. McGarrahan claimi, on the other hand, that, the fact that the committee did not find tho opportunity to mako their report to Ihe House, should hold the other parties to still fur ther delay until tho next session of Congress. To this the other side reply that it was the action of the comiuittco that they consented to await, and quote the pointed statements of McGarrahan'a counsel before tho committee, to the eft'ect that If the committee decided against them they would make no further contest. The departmants, as the Attorney General decided, was not authorized to delay its performance of duty under the law at all except by common consent of the parties In in terest, and has only taken the responsibility of delay In cases where manifest equity required it, and where action by Congress Is probable, after careful inquiry and investigation. 1 think it clear that neither of those conditions exit in the present chho. McGarrahan's original claim has been now for live years decided by the Supreme Court to have been utterly fraudulent and void. He immediately made his effort to ob tain relief from Congress, and live years of the must industrious and, as 1 believe, unscrupulous effort have beenfut lo. Pendingjthose petitions to Congress, he attempts to obtain a patent from this department on the ground that the lands were only agricultural land?, and did not contain gold, silver or quicksilver mines, and might therefore be bought at SI 25 per acre. This was refused by Mr. Browning, my predeces sor, on the ground that the 1 nds were mining lane's, and the new ldria quicksilver mine was no toriously tne Done ot contention, .ticuarrauan then sought to torce tne department to issue them a patent by a writ of mandamus from the court of this district, and after tho unprecedented action of that court in allowing tho writ against mo after Mr. Browning's retirement, the supreme court ot the United States roverced and annulled tho pro ceedings in tue court below in a judgment which. reilected with great, severity upon all concerned in procuring Mich action. Mcuarranan stnnus t)toreti'.oucpaitment,iuere fore, as a fraudulent claimant, who has twice been foiled and condemned in bis fraud by the highest court of tho nation, and whose e Hurts to procure favor from Congress hare also failed. His claim for still further delay, in order that he may try whether he cannot yet obtain legislative action in lils tavor which may give mm tuat wtiicu the courts have determined that he has no right to under the law, seems to mo worse than baseless, and 1 should feel as if 1 were a party to a wrong upon Congress were I willing to do anything to subject theui to further annoyance from such source. Under the opinion of the legal adviser of the government, therefore, and in full accordance with my own sense of right and duty, I have said that the Department will no longer delay in pro ceeding with its ousiness, according to law. ai this stage I find myself met by another effort at obstruction. McUarraban brings suit in the same Court of the District for an injunction against tho new ldria Mining Company to forbid them from applying for a patent for the lands they claim un der the statute, and that, too, although the cora- panv is in cauiornia, wuouy out ot the jurisdiction of the Court, nor is it pretended that lawful service of the writ can be made on them. Their attorneys hero are made defendants, and the Court is asked to forbid them from prosecuting their client b case belore the department which has jurisdiction, and this is too, when, in the manda mus last winter, tne supreme noun ueciuou iuao the jurisdiction of the department was exclusive and absolute, with which no court could lawfully interfere. The department is not a party to this suit, yet I have to-day a notico served upon me to appear before the court on the 30th instant, and to show cause why an attachment should not issue against mo tor directing the l.ana omce to go tor ward with its business. If the Federal Exeeutivo is to be at the mercy cf such proceedings as these, we shall justly become the contempt of the nation and ot the world. To show you still further the unblushing knavery of McUarrahan's conduct, a gentleman allowed mo to read a letter directed to him by one of McGarra han's attorneys, In which the attorney offered for McUarraban, stock in his California claim to the amount of twenty thousand dollars for the use of bis influence with me to procure favorable action for him in this department. As to appearing be fore the conrt, I am at a loss what to do. The At torney General has gone to Uoorgia, and leaves no assistant who is an experienced advocate, his department, as you know, not being fully organ ized. The District Attorney, who would be tho one to whom 1 should naturally go next, is Judge Fisher, who was one of tho two judges who signed the writ of mandamus last year, and of course lie could not defend the department without condemning him self; and Congress last winter, in the act organiz ing the Department of Justice, took away from the other departments the right to employ special coun sel. My belief is that no question more gravely af fecting tho dignity of tho Executive and Us inde pendence will be likely to arise during your admin istration, and I think the situation fully warrants your telegraphing the Attorney General, if not all the Cabinet, to meet you here before the 3UtU. For rnveclf, as I am conscious of having only fought the fraud with such vigor as I could, I can make no compromise, and lr 1 tan to secure to tne fullest extent your approval of my coureo I must beg you to relieve me at once from duties in which, without your support, I shall utterly tail. In beg ging to be remembered with greatest respect to Mrs. Grant, I remain, very truly yours, To the President. Mr. Cox's last letter to tho President, already published, is dated October 3. It will be observed, however, that, in his letter of August 23, Mr. Cox intimates strongly nis determination to resign in case the President refused to support him iu hU views about the McUarraban claim. To this letter tho President nnde no reply, thus refusing to aban don the position ho had taken on the question of issuing the land patent. With regard to that part of Mr. Cox's last letter, which seems to imply an interference on the part or somebody with the In dian policy ot the Administration, it suouiu oe un derstood that tho President had no issue with Mr. Cox on that subject, nor did he permit any outside lnterterence. The only thing that could possibly bo construed in this was the President's indorsement on a letter from Senator Chandler, of Michigan, addressed to him at Long Branch, and which was afterward sent to Secretary Cox. This letter presse lu earn est terms the appointment as inaianageni in aiicn. igan of Mr. Brockway, a Methodist clergyman, re siding In that State, who bad successfully labored as a missionary among the Indians. He had already served as such agent, and had been super ceded when the Indian agencies had been put in charge of military omcers. xue president's in dorsement on this letter was to the effect that the ereon recommended by Senator Chandler might e appointed, as it would not change the policy which had been adopted in regard to appointments for that branch of the service. The President added at the same time that he was anxious to meet the wishes of Senator Howard, who concurred in Senator Chandler's request. Tho indorsement about the appointment was merely of an advisoiy character, it is generally Known to the country that President Grant is the author of tho policy now being pursued by tho government toward tho Indians, and the people may rely upon the fact that no departure will be made from that policy so long as he is rresuient, no matter what change may tuke place in tho Cabinet. Y llh regard to iuo reiuriu imuBw?HiTii allusion to which is made in the last letter of Mr. Cox, it is well understood here and elsewhere, by all wnu nave anymiug 10 uo wuu wio baosuutb ufbil tiiBiiiB of thft government, that since the Inauaura tion of President Grant's administration particular attention baa been given to this matter. The Presi dent himself, with everv member of hU Cabinet, has, without any formal parade or show, made it a condition that uo nerson shall receive an office with out first undergoing an examination, the object of which is to ascertain, nrst, his fitness for the place, and, second, his character for fidelity and integrity. As a matter of course preference Is given to par sons who are known to entertain the same political views as the Prexident and the members of his administration. Without this no one, so far as is known, has been allowed to override the other ne cessary qualifications iur omce. me general mis nnderstardine which seem to rxist witli regtrd to from tho Cabinet aeemt to call for thW statement Of uct. ICS WAR. LAST NIOMT'S DESPATCHES. ANOTHER ACCOrNT OF THIERS' MISSION AN IN TERVIEW WITII NArOLEON STRENGTH OF THB COMBATANTS ABOUT PARIS. LoNnoK, Nov. 9. Special to the New York World. To-day Is Lord Mayor's day, bnt a fog of almost unprecedented denseness has settled over tho city, wholly cliEcuring the show. Nothing can be seen at a distance of twenty feet, although the fas Is all lighted. The procession seems to be com posed of spectre?, presenting an indescribably gloomy apj earance. A correspondent of the World, writing from Ver sailles under date of the Till, gives the following comprehensive reviewer the present situation and prospects of both belligerents: At Paris Ueneral TrocLu hup a force of 230,mio men tit for offensive service in the field. Paris la absolutely impregna ble to attack ar.d can be conquered only by starva tion. There is an abundance cf food In Paris, suf ficient to last two months longer. There are six armies outsido of Paris numbering 630,000 drilled and well armed men in the field besides nume rous detachment of Franctireurs, garrisons and regular troops. General i'alndir.e, with 120,000 men; the army of the west, General Keratry, l'o.ooo men; tho army of the noith, General Hourtmlii, C5,'i0 men; the army of the centre, General Tris-ant, 00,000 men; the array of the Rhine, General Michel, 100,000 men, and tho army of tho Yosges, General Catu briels, 4,'5,(:()0 men. All these are well supplied with everything save artillery, which deficiency is ra pidly being remedied. The army of the wet has ilf ty-livo brcerh-loading field pieces. In no quarter is there any deficiency in money, provision, am munition, clothing or horse?. The army besieging Paris continues to suffer greatly from sickuess, which is constantly in creafing. A recent morning report of the condi tion of tho army showed an average of 300 mn of each battalion (?) on tho sick list. Each battalion has a nominal strength of loao men. No more re inforcements can arrive from Germany. The last recruits, nearly all boys undor nineteen years, are now on their way. Former reports concerning tho disposition of the army of Prince Frederick Charles were incorrect. His tenth corps has gone to Paris, and tha eighth to Thionvllle. The sevcTith remains at Metz. The first is at Lille, third at Troycs, and the second and ninth at Lyons. Bkhlin, Nov. 8. Tho Provincial Correspond ence names the twentieth of the present month as the probable time lor the meeting of the North Ger man Parliament. The principal business before tho Parliament will be to raise means to continua the war and to provide for the admission of the south ern States into the confederation. The purpose of liavaria alone is nncertain. Versailles, Nov. 9, noon Several aeronauts, captured from balloons which fell within the Prus sian lines, have been sent to fortresses in Germany. It is said papers found on them seriously compro mise members of the corps diplomatique and others whose honor has been trusted. The Fourth Prussian division has arrived In tho vicinity of Vcrsaelled, and the third is at Chateau Thierry. Prince Frederick Charles has arrived at Com mercy. Torus, Nov. 9. The following account of Thiers' mission to Paris and Versailles is given on the best authority: Thiers was first notified that permission had baen given for bis passage through tho Prussian lines to Paris by u dispatch from General Von Detersan at Orleans. Ho immediately left Tours for Orleans, v hence he travelled to Paris in a carriage drawn by heavy Prussian artillery horses. His progress was necessarily slow, and he was, moreover, greatly delayed by the condition of tho roads, which had beeu cut and otherwise obstructed. In many places the country was desolatod and the house's deserted. On reaching Versailles Thiers was obliged to wait three hours lor a pass, and as soon as it wasf obtained ho drove to Paris without seeing Bismarck or any other Prussian diplomat, though he was constantly attended by army otHcers. Having consulted with the government at Paris he returned to Versailles, where he was received by Count HisraarcK, and nad one or more interviews with him daily during his stay, on tha question of revictualling Paris. Bismarck represented that the King was inflexible as to elections in Alsace and Lorraine. The King did not want electoral agitations there, but the Constituent Assembly itself could appoint as delegates citizens deemed worthy to represent tnoso provinces, to which the King might bo induced to consent. . uurme tne conversation on mis point tne Prus sian Minister sarcastically observed that if elec tions were allowed in occupied departments, they would be the finest ever held there. On the morn ing of the tith Thiers received tho final decision of Prussia, lie men met Dy appointment j uies i avre and Gen. Ducrat at the bridge of Sjyres, iuformod them of the Prussian terms, and they went back to Paris, M. Thiers awaiting their return at Sevres. As soon as tuey naa consulted tueir colleagues. thev returned and stated that they had resolved to refuse the armistice, because it did not concede the revictualling cf Paris. This resolution was communicated to Count Bismarck, and the nego tiations were broken oil. It is reported to be the opinion of M. Thiers that the Prussians have renounced their intention of bombarding Paris, fearing the universal condem nation ot civilized nations, but tuey will make at tacks in force and probably shell the torts. Thiers praises hiuhlv the conduct of Mon- eeigneur Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans, who re mains in me city, and is unremitting in nis cuorts to mitigate the severities of the enemy. London, rnov. y. special to tne ew orn Herald. 1 The correspondent of tho Herald at Ver sailles on the 6th inst, writes that "news has reached us to-day creating great excitenuut, and leads to a feeling that something on a large scale may be expected at any moment. Preparations to meet it are being made. Reports from the south of France are of an extraordinary nature. Fifteen deiCrtmeuts have absolutely seceded from the rest of France, and in conjunction with Algiers are en gaged in the organization or a separate govern ment." A correspondent of the Herald had an interview with Napoleon at Wilhelmshoho. He found the emperor wen and in line spirits, inuring a lengtny conversation, in which the Emperor was mainly occupied in defending himself and docrylng the republic, he made tue ionowmg statements about the war: "I can onlv liken recent events to an earthquake. The renorts that I said I was betrayed are false, like 0 many others. What I may nave said, and what was probably said by many members of the government, was that probably we nad ueceivea ourselves as to the strengtu oi our army, as wen as luai OI tne jrru&siaus. ah iur uiyscii, uasiug my opinion upon present conviction, I have often cau tioned iuv Ministers aeaiust erroneous estimates. "I well recollect now often marstiai jseu pointed to the drawers of bis desk, and told me in the con fideut mien that the army was complete and ready for everv oneration. It was no less the case with Marshal l.eua ur. it was prooauiy not rue iauit oi heart but of head that they would not listen to me, when I told them we could not compete with Prus sia's military establishment; that our effective strength, as compared to her, was insufficient. 'This was the deception, the fault of which must be shared more or less Dy an ot us, wuicn leu to tne niott disastrous results. We were to have ready at a moment s notice two hundred thousand reserves. When needed not more than one-half of them were at hand, and these only altera delay of a week Thus the Prussians rot the start of us. "NotwitbstaudingPthe bravery of our troops with double our number, they obliged us to yield them easy victories. Franco needs peace; but the condi tions imposed by Bismarck are too exacting alto gether. What government could accept them, and at the same time maintain a foothold? France cannot endure the deep humiliation of loss of ter ritory." When asked if be ever should resume the reins of government, should a favorable opportunity be aflbrded, Napoleou replied: "Whenl consider the uncertainty, looking in tne roau io suca an aim; when I consider the vast impedimenta to be re moved. I really feel little ambition. I would rather be independent would even rather be as I am now, a prisoner, and never step again on French soil. Not even for my son, could I wish it. I love him too much to desire for him chances of dead certainty. If these cannot be avoided, he would be far barnier in private lite, without overwhelming responsibilities, attaching to such a station, in a country which can never forget humiliation." Tho Emperor denied in the most positive manner the reiorts as to his wealth. The statements made by Pietrie, he said, were authorized by him and were correct. He add id that he had no property whatever in America. The report that he owned twtnty-three millions of real estate in New York was au utter iauncttuuu. It is encouraging to find a writer in North Britain protesting against slowness in psalai singing, and we therefore gladly quote the following lines from a Scotch programme which has been forwarded to us: "The modern dirge-like 6tjle of singing the 'Old Hundredth' (now happily numbered among the things that were) is clearly a perversion. It is one of tbe liveliest of all ancient tunes, and the version adopted on the present ojci pion is in accordance with tbe direction of KavtiiboroUiu 11, palumoi it.jiv.i-ig Le sung with a swift and jocund measure.'
