[By the People's Telegraph Line.] Yosac, Jan. sth.—Gold has been quoted to-day as follows : 10.35 A. M. 1411 11.45 A. M. 10.45 1421 12.00 M. 11.00 142 i 12.15 11.15 1421 12.30 11.30 1421 Heavy Snow on the Santa Fe Trail. The weather has been unusually cold this winter in the Western States and Territories. The Santa Fe Journa/, of Nov. 21, says: The Santa Fe coach came in yesterday, having been detained by the heavy snows on the route. The coach brought in oar fellow-townsman, Major Jewett, and also Colonel Collins and Messrs. 011endorf, Den man and Spear, of New Mexico. Several passengers stopped off at Council Grove to rest from the fatigues of the long trip, until the next coach. The passengers report snow.; all the way from Santa Fe to Council Grove, from eight to twelve inches in depth, and the Arkansas was crossed upon the ice. Scattered along the route from Fort Zarah, west, are upward of twenty trains, bound in by the snow, with their cattle dying daily by cold and starvation. Of one train, with one hundred and forty oxen, but forty are left, and the teamsters are in many instances leaving, and making their way to the set tlements as they beat can. Heavy losses and great suffering is resulting from attempt ing to freight across.the plains so late in the season. The Indians on the route are nominally peaceable, but the deserted trains of valuable goods will be a strong temptation to renew plunder by, them—possibly too strong to be resisted. THE CLAQUE IN PARIS.-Every theatre in Paris has its own claque,. and every claque has its own leader, who is practically as much a leader as the leader of the orches tra, and is professionally designated le chef de la claque. The management deals with the chef only, who employs his own assist ants, and is responsible for them. These assistants are continually changed and badly paid, and vigorous measures are adopted to secure their dillegence and punc tuality. The chef, who is permanent,makes a large income, and his cabriolet at the stage door indicates the position he has acquired in the theatre. His sources of income are numerous and elastic. He is paid a regu lar salary by the manager, and in addition he levies black mail on the artistes. Every artiste must pay him. No pay, no applause; and as the actor cannot live • without applause, pay is inevitable. The usual mode is to enter into a contract for a month. The minimum fee fora month, from the poorest and most obscure perscin in the theatre, may be set down at fifty francs. The mardmum has no ,limit. It mounts according to the ambition or the means of the actor. As much as five hundred francs have been known 'to be paid fora single night's applause. =Thee ordinary month's contract does not cover all occasions. When a new play is brought out, or a stock play is reprcxinced, each of the actors is per sonally waited upon for instructions as to the particular passages at which they desire applatu3e, and fees are charged' accordingly. ST. DOMINGO. Another Revolution—Downfall of Ca bral---Baez in Power—Melo dramatic Scene in ..the Dominican Con gress, &c. ITrom to•day'e New York Herald.] Further news has been received from St. Domingo, reporting another revolution there under very peculiar circumstances. The last news was that Cabral had peaco ably succeeded Pimentel. On the 16th of October, a party of insur gents entered Azua, and proclaimed Baszias the President. A numberof the people of tho province of Seibo joined them, and they proceeded toward the capital with cries of 'Long live Baezli ' and "Death to Cabral!" They evidently had confederates in the government; for, at the critical moment, a curious scene took place in the Supreme . Congress, which was in session deliberating on the question of the emission of ' paper money. A "mysterious man," armed with a cutlass, entered suddenly and, despite all protests, exclaimed: "General Cabral, are you in favor of peace?" • "With all my heart," was the response. "Well, then," said the stranger, "I am an emissary of the revolutionary chief, who will be here in less than two hours;" and then raising his voice, he exclaimed, "Long live General Baez, President of the Domini can republic !" As these words resounded through the hall a scene of utter confusion ensued. The ministers abandonbd their seats and in ter ror sought protection in the houses of the French, Italian and English Consuls. Ca bral, however, appeared in public and de clared that if the popular :voice and welfare demanded the rule of Baez he would gladly give his consent. The popular feeling now turned in favor of Cabral, and he •retained power for several weeks. • The mysterious man who had frightened the Congress soon appeared again. He proved to be General Pedro Guillermo, and manage so as to have himself appointed Dictator until Baez should arrive. An election was held on the 14th of December by the Constitutional Assembly unani mously appointing Buenaventura Baez President of the Dominican republic. Cabral has accepted a Military position under the government, of which Guillermo, the mysterious man, is the practical head.

The facts in the case are these: Under the last call of the President (Dec. 19, 1864), for three hundred thousand men, the quota of the North Ward of the city of Camden was one hundred and twenty-four men. To raise these men, a drafted men's association was formed, and the City Coun cil voted four hundred dollars for each drafted man. Thomas McKean and Samuel B. Garrison, citizens of Camden,volunteered their services to free the Ward from draft, and assisted in raising a very considerable sum of money. After the quota was filled, there remained a surplus fund of $3,950. This sum properly belonged to the drafted men who had filled the quota. Butby a resolution surreptitiously passed Messrs. McKeen and Garrison pretended to claim the amount of money ($3,950) for the purpose of establishing a Dispensary. The drafted men do not object to the Dispensary but they object to the use of their money; the surplus which properly' belongs to each drafted man pro. rata, being used to establish any institution in the organization of which they have no voice. The case will be argued before Chancellor Green, a very able lawyer. Some of the drafted men are in necessitous circumstances and some few of them have died, leaving their families dependent upon the city. The case creates much interest =tong our citizens. James M. Scovel and George S. Woodhall, Esgrs., represent the drafted men, and A. Browning and Wm. D. Cooper, Esgrs., represent McKean and Gar rison. ANOTILEE CONVENIENCE —Since the com pletion of the large Ferry Depot, at the foot of Federal street, the platform for the West Jersey trains has been extended down , to the south side of the ferry. Passengers have now but a few feet to walk to reach the boat. Capt. Frazee, the Superintendent of the ferry, has evinced no ordinary talent in the perfect arrangements made. Conye nience of access and economy of space, are blended with beauty of finish, all looking to the comfort of travelers. GoT OFF SAFELY.—On Saturday last the schooner Armenia Bartlett, Capt. Bartlett, which was driven ashore in 'a heavy gale at Atlantic City, a fevr days before, was got off in a safe condition by, Japhet , Townsend, wreckmaster.

The list on first call was con cluded this morning, and the Court ad journed at an early hour. OYER AND TRantrsrEE—Judges Allison and Ludlow. The ease of Jefferson Spanier, charged with the murder of Patrick Con cannon, was concluded yesterdayafternoon. After ie Commonwealth had closed its tes timony, the Counsel for the prisoner pro posed thatthe case should end without any evidence for the defence, if the Court would consent to a verdict of guilty of manslaugh ter. The verdict as suggested was taken. This morning the entire session was taken up in the effort to secure a jury in the case of John Conner, charged with the murder of a boy named Fitzpatrick, on the night of October 3lst, 1865, at a public house, Darby road, near the Blue Bell. A party of young men were enioying themselves, when the - prisoner in company with others, entered, created a disturbance, and then when about to leave, discharged a pistol into the crowd, killing the boy. Conner was afterwards arrested while crossing the Gray's Ferry Bridge, disguised by the addition of false whiskers to his face. A jury had not been obtained when our report closed. Death of the Rev. Dr. Contraings. The Roman Catholic Church of this coun try has suffered a great loss by the death of the Rev. Dr. J. W. Cummings, the well known and popular pastor of St. Stephen's Church in this city, who died at his resi dence in East Twenty-ninth street, at an early hour yesterday morning. Dr. Cum mings has published several works, one of which, "Italian Legends," was issued seve ral years ago; another, "Spiritual Pro gress," in 1561. The influence of Dr. Cum mings in his church and his social standing in this community were very high. He took a leading part in all the Catholic movements of his diocese, but at the same time remained on the best of terms in social life with his Protestant fellow-citizens. In this respect, indeed, he had few, if any, equals among the priests of his church. He was generally regarded as one of the greatest Roman Catholic scholars of the country, and he was, therefore, often ap plied to for authentic information on Ro man Catholic subjects.—N. Y. Trtbune.
