Wxsinaieroa, Saturday, Nor. b, 1867.—The
fluttering among the politicians here on both
sides since the elections has been nulls - ally great.
There has been a fluttering among the Radicals
at the positive discovery that extreme doctrines
-cannot prevail, and fluttering among the Cop
perheads for fear that the Republicans may fall
back on so powerful an ally as Gen. Grant, and
sweep the country from end to end in the Presi
dential campaign next year.... As a consequence.
there is considerable wire-pulling and political
manipulation going on, one feature of which was
alluded to in the Times despatches from this
point yesterday.
Iris a fact within my own knowledge that
efforts, of sufficient gravity, perhaps, to be called
a plot, arc now being made to force from Gen.
Grant a public announcement of his political
views. Both extremes are at work in this mat
ter. On the Dem,ocratic or Copperhead side are
Montgomery Blair, Dan Vorhees, and some of
the shining lights of the Manhattan Club of New
York. On the Radical side are Col: Forney,
Gen. Logan and others. Nobody was surprised,
although many were amused, at the consequen
tial pronouncement for Gen. Grant in Forney's
two papers on Wednesday last. This declara
tion was so worded a's to convey the idea that it
was with the knowledge and approval of Gen.
Grant. Whether- Mr. Forney knew that the
(;eneral would be approached that day and
asked the question alto whether he did
approve the publication, I have no means -, 'of
knowing. But the ea-Confederate correspondent
of the Boston Net followed up the Matter, and
soon found that a "personal friend" (;is be
styles him) of Gen. Grant. had put a copy of
the Chronic?, in his pocket and obtained an in--
terview with the General, the result of:which he
(the visitori hastened to lay before the Post man,
for the express purpose of contradicting the an
nouncement of Mr. Forney. The account of this
interview was promptly published, and General
Grant was made to appear as repudiating the
views attributed to him in the Chrovicle, and as
being especially disgusted at the conduct of some
of his dearest and most confidential friends.
Now, some people will smile when I say that
the "personal friend" who had this interview on
Thursday, and who authorized its publication in
the President's Boston organ, was none other
than Montgomery Blair. Ile bored General Grant
an hour or two on political matters that day,
and he was working an the Interests of the Cop
perhead ring, who are seeking to embarrass-Gen
eral Grant by attributing to him views which he
does not hold, and statements which he does not
authorize, for he authorizes no statements what
rver on political questions. In this despatch, as
elegraphed to Boston, there was but one single
statement that was truoto wit: that Oen. Grant
did not authorize or approve the article in Coh
Forney's papers, which put him forward for the
Presidency. Whether he holds the views attri
buted to him in that article, is best answered by
reference to his record, and all questioners will
' be so answered by him whenever they personally
apply. As to the manner in which Gen. Grant
is represented as having referred to Mr. Wash
burne, it hardly needed Mr. Forney's emphatic
contradiction printed this morning. Anyone who
knows the relations of the two men need not be
told that their friendship is of too substantial and
too sacred a character to be successfully assailed,
even by that adept at family quarrels,Montgom
ery Blair. And It should be remarked n this con
nection that Mr. Washburne is disgusted,not less
than Gen. Grant, at the unwarranted liberties
taken with his name whenever his relations to the
General are alluded to.

Blair, Voorheeg: Lt Co. would be inteisely de
lighted if they could force from Gen. Grant Biome
expression of dissent with reference to the present
attitude of the Republican Party, as illustrated
by the legislation of Congress. Almost anything
would be accepted by them as a pretext for
hoisting his name in the Democratic clubs.
Nevertheless, if they can't succeed in that, they
will be perfectly willing to aid in the attempt
to drive him to the other extreme, so that
be can be assailed, in the hope of defeating
him, in case his name is ever presented to the
people. Recent events have given the Copper
head element so much encouragement that their
organs have at once assumed deflant airs, and
they already threaten Gen. Grant with political
and military dishonor in case ho should accept a
Republican nomination. Witness the following
fulmination from the only reliable organ of the
Copperhead element here, which, if not written
by Blair, after his - :internew with Gen. Grant,
was certainly inspired by him :
"We have some little measure of the milk of harness
kindness left, and dislike to see the name and fair fame
of General Grant destroyed at once, but we can assure
him that one single moment spent in the company of
Radicalism as its friend, or one single outspoken word
in its support, will forever consign him to ignominy, and
in less than two years will strip him of every military title
and insignia he wears. it is well to lot well enough alone.
Grant occupies the finest position of any man on this con
tinent. Ho is honored and respected wherever he goes, at
home or abroad. Still, ho knows his own business best,
and if he thinks he is called by the Almighty to prop up
the kingdom of the devil by . lending his name and influ
ence to save from deeper disgraces the most corrupt and
unmitigated set of shysters who over lived, it is his look
out and not ours."
But all attempts, come from what quarter they
may,, to get from Gen. Grant any expression of
his views in advance, having reference to or
bearing upon the Presidential question, will
utterly fail. If there is one thing which ko will
not do, it is that he will not accept or decline in
advance a nomination that has not yet been ten
dered to him. The question of the . Presidency
probably enters as little into his daily thoughts
and daily life as upon those of any patriotic
private citizen. And though I speak by no au
thority, yet I hazard nothing in saying that as
between his present position, with , its duties,
honors and prestige, added to the , opportunities
it affords him for the enjoyment of the society
of his family, and that of the Presidency, with
Its responsibilities, labors and deprivations of
social and' family enjoyment, he infinitely pre
fers the former. But he will not decide that
question until it comes before him in proper

Will Feel;
The people shoald be on their guard now more
than ever against so-called "authorized" state
ments, denials and contradictions alleged to
emanate from Gen. grant or any of Ids military
family touching political matters. Gen. Grant
never authorizes any one to speak for him on
such subjects, and never authorizes the publica
tion of anything. except it relates to the official
business of the War Department or of the aide
of General-in-Chief. It his published record
thus far does not prove him sufficiently in sym
pathy with the leading members of the Repub
lican Party, as exemplified by the action of
Congress, then those who still desire tote con
vinced must wait until his whole record is made
public in regular order. He needs no vindica
tion In advance. If the record tvhlchlhe has
made on the reconstruction question during- the
past year is rot sufficient to prove that he desires
the restoration of this Union upon the broad
basis of civil and political rights alike to all the
people, it will never be reinforced by words arid
protestations uttered to sui t an emergency or to
conciliate elements of opposition. The party
t nominates General Grant for the
Presi
dency will take him as they find him.
THE HURRICANE AT ST. THOMAS
Narrow Path of the Storm... Full Par.
Cicalae% of the Losses..lStrange•Fatal%
ity from Taking Counsel of Fear.
The steamer Martnion, Captain Berry,. from
Rio Janeiro October 10 and St. Thomas Novem
ber 1, arrived at New fork yesterday.
It arrived at Bt. Thomas on the morning of
the 30th, and found that tlie. island had been
visited the day previous by tile most terrific hur
ricane ever known there, the town being par
tially destroyed and the loss of life very great.
The amount of property destroyed at present is
impossible to estimate: the scene of destruction
and devastation impossible to describe.
The wind commenced blowing a pretty stiff
breeze about eight o'clock, from the northwest,
and about eleven o'clock it changed round' to the
cast sue) blew a perfect hurricane. carrying
everything before it. It lasted about four hours,
but during that time raged with such violence
that trees were torn up. houses lifted from their
foundations and dashed to pieces. Ships and
steamers of the largest-class, as well as smaller
vessels, were hurried together and either dashed
to pieces or sunk. Some fifty or sixty vessels
are ashore, dlsrnasted or sunk, and part of their
crews lost. Thousands are rendered homeless,
and the amount of suffering, confusion and , ex
citement it is impossible to describe. There is
nothing doing; evervbexly seems paralyzed.
On the morning of, ,the 29th, there being indi
cations of a storm, the passengers of the old
steamer Conway, Captain Hammack, did not
feel safe to go to sea in her, and wished to be
transferred to the Rhone. a new steamer of the
line, where they might consider themselves safe
In case of a storm. They were accordingly trans
ferred, and both vessels put to sea; but during
the storm the Rhone struck on Peter's Island,
her holler exploded, and all were lost with the
xception of twelve or fifteen. The British
steamship Conway, Capt. Hammack, was thrown
on Tortola Island, and all hands were saved.
Up to the time of our departure nothing defi
nite in regard to the other islands had been heard,
with the exception of Tortola, of which report
rays that the town is totally destroyed and a num
ber of lives lost.
Harbor Master Steinberg, of St. Thomas, was
drowned while nobly attempting to rescue others.
Having succeeded in his first attempt, he was re
turning the second time, when his boat capsized
and he lost his life. •
The steamer Columbian came in about eleven
o'clock, and at two o'clock was sunkyand six per
-ons lost. Her cargo was valued at from $:1,000,000
to ;,,,,,2,00(),000.
The track of the hurricane seems to have been
narrow, as the Marmion. from Rio; and the
North America, from New York, arrived the day
atter, either aving experienced more than
stiff breeze. The North America arrived at
St. Thomas on the Guth, At 2 P. M., and left
again at f o'clock without coaling; reported
rlght. I append a list of 'disasters as far as

Details of the Enieute at Port-au-
Prince—Popularity of Salnave—The
Entente Between the Republics.
We have Port-an-Prince dates to Oct. 19:
The particulars of the disturbance which took
place at Port-an. Prince on the 11th October, of
which Intelligence has been received here by
telegraph from Havana, are given. The emente
arose, it appears, out of a violent dissension
between the Government and the chamber
of Representatives relative to the, case
of Goland Moutas, who has been Imprisoned
by Salnave on the charge of being the
leader of the brigands known by the name of
Caros, whose lawless and murderous operations
in the North have caused so much trouble to the
Governmpnt, and who have just been subdued
and dispersed. The Chamber demanded that
Mouths should either be brought to trial forth
with, or liberated; but the Government refused
to do either, preferring to take its own time in
dealing with the insurrectionary chieftain. On
the evening of the 11th October the subject was
under debate in the Chamber, and the
war of words rose to such a pitch that
it was finally rumored in the city that
an attempt would rbe made -upon the life
of the President, whose palace is but a stone's
throw from the building in, which the Chamber
holds its sittings. Immediately sevend thousands
of the people made their way toi this spot; .under,
the impression that the President's life was in
danger, and many of them being armed several
shots were fired at the Assembly House. 138,1 . , ; .

OUR Wl-10LE COUNTRY.
Nothing had been heard at Port-au-Prince of
the alleged Warlike movements of President
Cabal, as reported by telegraph from Havana,
and no , apprehensions were entertained of a
disturbance of the amicable relations established
between Hayti and St. Domingo by the treaty
recently concluded. On the contrary, both
Governments had been doing their best
to strengthen these relations. The Govern
ment of canto Domingo had issued a circular,
addressed to the Governors of St. Jago and Awns,
directing them to Instruct the commanders• on
the frontiers of their respective provinces to en
ercise the utmost vigilance, in order to prevent
anything being done capable of occasioning
trouble in the neighboring Republic; and the Gov
ernment of Salnave had issued'a similar circular
to the commandants la the northeast of Hayti. As
a further proof of the anxiety of the Haytien Gov
ernment to preserve friendly relations with Santo
Domingo, an article had appeared in the Jima
teur (the official newspaper) with reference to an
offensive application of the term "potentate" to
President Cabral by one of the Haytien journals,
disavowing all sympathy with such language,and
speaking of Cabral as not only the ally, but the
friend of Hayti.
ANOTHER EXTENSIVE REVENUE
HI shwi ne s Valued at. %300,000 Meizedt
[From the Chicago Journal, Nov. 8.1
The largest seizure of highwinez, op the charge
of an attempt to defraud the government, yet
made by its detective agents in the West, took
place atHennepin. Putnam county. 111., located
about one hundred miles from this city, on the
Illinois river. But few particulars are known
about the affair, and thus, far the officers, under
whose order the seizure was made, refuse even
to give the names of the parties implicated,
but sufficient is known to establish the fact be
yond doubt that a seizure of more than three
thousand barrels of spirits has been made, whose
aggregate value will exceed the sum of $360,000.
For some time past the government detectives
employed in the service of I. N. Buck, Esq.. of
this city, who is the special Treasury agent for
this district, have been diligently at work in
bringing this matter to a focus. At first it was
simply a suspicion: next, proof to accumulate,
and on Wednesday evening it was thought
time to take charge of the establishment in the
name of the government. It is claimed, among
other things, that this institution has been run
on what is known among the initiated as the
double-barreled principle, to wit: The State of
Illinois being divided into two districts, each
within the jurisdiction of a separate court, the
parties guilty of the alleged/fraud so arranged
matters that, their operatioris are aimcst eertally
divided betwoien the two districts. This Was ail
the more easily accomplished since Hennepin,
the chief point'ef operations, is located nearly
on the dividing line between: the two depart
ments..
The Bank Robbery at Tremont, MI.
The Bloomington llp.l "Y"ontogr,7 , lc • has the
following in reference 'to the Tretuoni-pank rob-
Lery: We learn that on Sunday evening last two
additional arrests were made of parties charged
with being implicated in the bank robbery at
Trermint. Those parties were two blacksmiths
who live in Tremont. With one of them was
found eio,ooo in bonds of the amount stolen
front the safe. Also, ;51.500 of property helong
log to a safe that was broken open in Eureka
during the summer was discovered
at the same time lize steel bor.
Mat was carried off was also Ind ,in .Mack
inaw river, containing the county bonds,
which the thieves could not make use of, and the
tools used in committing the burglary. Some
more of the robbers are still at large, but it is
thought they will be arrested. It has been as
certained that some of the tools for the purpose
of breaking open the safe, such as wedges, drills,
&c.. were made in this town. The person who
got them stated they were for another purpose
altogether. From developments it is very evi
dent there was an organized gang of burglars,
who have been concerned in more robberies than
the one which led to their detection and arrest.
They are now in a fair way of being broken up
'and brought to juAtice.
Alleged Robbery of 8.27,73.3 in Gold
Theresa Sehibboch, of 176 ,Grand street, ap
peared before Justice Mansfield on Saturday last
and made (in substance)the following statement:
On the 18th of July last there was taken from
her possession a leather satchel, containing
$1,401 in gold, besides legal tender and national
bank notes of the value of $10,000; an enamelled
and diamond encrusted gold watch, of the
value of $200; a pocket-book, containing $100; a
gold watch, worth $300; a gold necklace and
cross, worth $300; a diamond cross, worth $500;
a gold locket, worth $o; together with valuable
papers and deeds, of the total value of $27,733,
the property of the deponent. This property,
the lady went on to say, had been taken out of
her trunk, in a room in house No. 18 Wooster
street, during her temporary absence therefrom,
and she had reason to believe it was stolen
and carried away by Jacob Muchlheiser,
Margueretta Muchlheiser and Peter Owens,
from the fact that these persons (two of whoni
are in custody,3luchlhelser and his sister) knew of
the gold, &c., being in the custody of the com
plainant. On her (the complainant's) arrival at
the home in Wooster street, Muchlheiser and
Owens carried her trunk to her room, and wore
present when she unlocked It and saw her open
the satchel, and from it take money to pay them;
and Margueretta, who was in the habit of bring
ing to the room complainant's meals, also had
full knowledge of the contents of the satchel,
and had not nnfrequently seen her take
money therefrom to pay her eqr
rent expenses. The complainant fur
ther stated that on the 17th of July she left the
city for Niagara, where she remained until the
22d of that month; but before leaving she men
tioned the fact of the property in question being
in her trunk, and inquired of Muchlheiser and
his sister if it would be safe to leave it where it
was, and if they would look after it; to which
they answered It would be perfectly safe,and that
they would continue to guard it during
her absence. On her return to the house she
met Jacob and his sister, and they appeared
to be very much confused on seeing her; so much
so ,that it caused her to ask them what troubled
them, and they answered, "Nothing." On gain
ing admission to her room she found that her
trunk had been opened and the property above
enumerated feloniously taken out of it. Mar
gueretta, who was present, then stated that on
the 15th she saw a child at the door of hor (depo
nent's) room, and was then afraid her room had
been entered, and the money, &c., taken. Since,
July the deponent stated that she has had
good reason for believing that the parties named
by her above are •the'real culprits, and asked for
their apprehension. , On Saturday afternoon
Jacob Muchlhoiser and his sister were arrested,
and are now in prieon on a temporary commit
ment, preparatory to a general examination.
Owens has not yet been arrested; but it was
understood that he would be in charge of art
officer yesterday, in, 0,() afternoon.

them in a brief speech, wLich had the
effect of re-assuring them, any' in a, short
time they dispersed. The following day
he issued a proclamation explanatory of
the sitration of affairs, and calculated to allay
the excitement. The Chamber bad dosed its sit
tings temporarAy, and it was supposed that un-
less the Government yielded, both the House of
Representatives and the Senate would resign
their functions The Government remained firm,
tiding the ground that as Montag was charged
with crimes of great turpitude, and was a turbu
lent' anti dangerons character, the interests of
pease and good order demanded that it should
be left to exercise 5U discretion in determining
when he should be brought to trial. Everything

Fearful Explosion- at the Fion , Pitt

and Twenty.eight Wou nded—Part'.
cularN of the lExplesion--I.ler of the
Killed and Wounded.
[Prom the Pittsburgh Commercial of Saturesky.)
Yesterday morning. about half-past II o'clock,
the residents of Ninth Ward, lower part of Pitt
township and Lawrenceville, were startkd by a
tremendous report, as of an explosion, which
shook the foundations of the houses for half a
mile around. Crowds of peo'ple hastened tb the
place from whence the report proceeded to ascer
tain the cause. It was soon ascertained that any
explosion had taken place in the Forge Depart
ment of the Fort Pitt Iron Works, owned by
Simi's. Beet,. Graff dr Dull, and' located on the
banks of the Allegheny river, between Wilson
and Boundary streets, in Pitt township, and
Treating the track of the Allegheny Valley Rail
road. The building had been bbwn to atoms}
and the report that quite a large number of the•
hands employed In the building had , been klihnl
and injured spread like wildfire.
THE TWINS ii YLAMES,
To add to the more horrible nature•egf the ca—
tastrophe, the rains of the building had taken
tire and were in flames. A.e soon as this was dis
covered,an alarm was struck from Bons No. 65,
corner Penn and Smith streets, and in a short
time the. Fire Department of this city and Alle
gheny were on the ground. Immediate efforts
were made to check the flames and rescue- from
the debris such of the injured as could notextri
cats themselves, and take out the bodies- of the
killed. Emery fire plug in the eity wa..l- , brought
into requisition by the firemen, and many of the
steamers had to draw their water from the river.
The firemen all worked nobly in their efforts to
Subdue the flames, and were under the supervi
sion of Chief Engineer Hare, who wrs.on the
ground &Ails - the whole time the fire was
raging. Notwithstanding the exertions- of the
firemen, nearly all of the f rame work of the.build
log was destroyed before the flames could Ito
subdued.
pl."rin:. RUINS
. .
The ruins were in sash a confused mass- tlkatib
is almost impossible to describe them. The ex
plosion had made such a complete wreck thatnot
one board on the buildng had been left stand—
ing. A portion of the structure used in rolling
iron, and located on the east side, and about
twenty feet from the forge department, was-torn
down by the explosion. Tivo large smoke-stacks
in this building were thrown down by the flying
-
timber, and falling on a shed near by were bent
very badly. In the forge department the ruins
in some places had massed very high. None of
the timber belonging to the building was blown
any great distance, but principally fell in a eon
fused mass together. Singular to say, all the
chimneys in this building were left standing,-al
though everything else belonging ts the building
was a complete•wreck. A number of pieces of
the boilers and timber i - xcro thrown a considerable
distance from the ground.
I=l
As soon as the Mimeo had been subdued
eiently to admit of the removal of the charred'
timber and iron, efforts were made to take out
the bodies from the nuns. Many of the specta
tors present assisted in the work, and succeeded'
in recovering about half a dozen of the bodies.
some of which were so terribly burned as to be
almost unrecognizable. A: sad spectacle was pre
sented to the eye of the spectator as he reached
the scene of the disaster shortly after the em-
Plosion. As a body was extricated from the
ruins. women. little girls and boys would crowd
around it to get a glimpse of the berpse, fearing
to discern in the !contras of some husband,
lather or brother, who had been employed in the
mill and who was missing. The agonizing tears.
of the women and children as they recognized in
some mangled corpse the well known features of
those nearest anti dearesv to them; was heart
rending in the extreme, and the by-standers could
but look on and pity them.
As the bridles were extricated from the ruins
they were laid on the ground acar by or taken
Into the adjoining houses. The Injured were re
moved into the houses, where everything possi
ble was done for them.
- As soon as the nature of the disaster had been
ascertained, a number of physicians from this
city and vicinity repaid at once to the scene
and adMinistered relief to the injured. Among
them we noticed Drs. McCook, Dickson, Homil- -
top; Asdale, trust:letter, Sutton, R Aerts, Cow
ley and others, who aid everything in their
power to relieve the distresses of the wounded.
A great many of the bodies and injured men
were convefetl: to their homes dining the after
noon in wagons.
