The New York Evening Post of yesterday says a curious story agues to us from Washington in reference to the course of „Mr. ReverdyJohnsori. It is related that Mr. Johnson received, when he left this country for England, besides his general instructions from the Secretary of State, special and private instructions from the President It is asserted that these private orders prescribed to the Minister the extraordinary course he has pursued in England; that ho was told by the President to pay his court to the Tories, and to turn away from the Liberals; to be most attentive to those persons who, like Roebuck,Lord Wham. cliffe, and Laird, had been the most conspicuous friends of the rebels from 1861 to 1865; and to have as little as possible to do with the Liberals, who were the friends of the Union cause during our late war. Rumor in Washington asserts that when the President gave his private orders to Mr. Reverdy Johnson, he was under the belief that the Demo cratic party would elect its candidates, and would rule the country for the next four years; and that his object was to assist in the restora tion of the rebel leaders to predorffinance in the country, by giving to their English allies the countenonce and moral support of this govern ment through its Minister. Rumor supposes the President to have reasoned that under a Aiemocratie - administration men - who were—prom inent in the rebellion would govern in Washing ton, and represent the United States abroad; and that there would be something awkward in a person like Alexander H. Stephens, for instance, going to England as United States Minister. and meeting there suddenly those English leaders who have thought him and his cause inexcusably bad. It was, therefore, made the office of Mr Reverdy Johnson to prepare, by his own cring ing adulation of men like Roebuck and Laird, smooth entrance forsomaperson like Stephens, Mason or Pendleton. It is asserted in Washington that Mr. Reverdy .Johnspphas kept up a special correspondence with the President upon this part of his duties; that the President supports him in those acts which have mortified the whole countr • aid that, Eff@ly, tho Idecretary ot tiVafolifept in ig norance of the progress of certain of Mr. John son's negotiations, and was recently obliged to confess this lack of information to the British Minister. —A little tragedy in real life was enacted re cently at the Swansea Theatre, in England. A colored actor, named Mr. Morgan Smith, had been engaged for a short time to take the princi pal characters in -sensational—dramas and tragic plays. During a desperate encounter in one of the pieces he had been, furnished with a loaded pistol which had been too heavily charged. When he had to fire at the ihroine in the plot, the loud report startled the andience,and the un fortunate actress staggered bsek, desperately wounded in real earnest. The ivadding struck her on the arm, causing a severe wound, which zensiered it necessary to remove her to the ire ! firmary, where she will remain for some time. —The Peoria (W.)

GEO. 11. THOMAS. Operations of the Ku-Klux-Klan. General Thomas's report to Gen. Grant says: It is mortifying to acknowledge that the State and local laws, and the more powerful force of public opinion .do not protect citizens of the Department from violence. Indeed.crinie is committed 'lncense public opinion favoV it. A criminal who is popular, with, the mob cart set law at defiance; but If a man Is only suspected of crime who is inimical to the' cenatnanity, he Is likely to be banged to the nearest tree or &hot down at his own door. The report closes as fol-. lows. "The Causes of .this lawlessness aro different in different States, and apply more particularly to Kentucky and Tennessee than to West Virginia. Prom the latter State there have been no com plaints received other then that of the Governor in his application for troops before mentioned, the sending of which accomplished the object for which they were needed. In Tenneisee, where a majority of the late rebels are diefranehised, they and the sympathizers with them have a hatred of the State authorities which is unconcealed and aggressive. In localities where the disfranchised. dement la strong, a spirit of persecution toward those In sympathy with the authorities, those who recognize the political rights of the enfran chised ncgroes, and the negroes themselves, espe cially' shows itself, In utter contempt of all law. Violence is openly talked of. The editorial arti cles of the public , press are such as to create the most intense hatred in the breasts of tho ex-rebels and their sympathizers. The effect of this is to cause disturbance throughout the State by inciting the ruffianly uortlon of this class of citizens to murder, riot, and maltreat the white Unionists and colored people in localities where there are no United States troops stationed. The local math ori tier, have not the will, and, moreover, often have not the power to suppress or prevent/these outrages. In Kentucky disfranchisement can not be alleged as a reason for—the dis turbance. Here the Mass of the people are in sympathy with the State authorities, and those politically opposed maki• no attempt to resist them. The colored people aro quiet and peaceable. They have no political rights, not be ing enfranchised; yet ruffians are permitted to tyrannize over them without fear of punishment. The testimony of negroes is rejeCted in the State Courts. and United States Courts are difficult of access to an ignorant people without friends or influence. In some districts some ex-Union sol diers are persecuted by their more numerous rebel neighbors, until they are forced into a re sistance which sometimes ends with loss of their IiVEB, or they are compelled in self-defence to emigrate. An appeal to the courts affords bat little hope for redress, as the magistrates and juries too often -decide in accordance with thelr prejudices withciut regard' to justice. The con trolling cause of the unsettled condition of affairs in the Department is, that the greatest efforts made by the defeated Insurgents since the close t.f the war have been to promulgate the Idea that the cause of liberty, justice, humanity, equality, and all the calendar of virtues of freemen suf fered violence and wrong when the effort for Southern independence failed. This is of course intended as a speciett of political cant, whereby the crime of treason might be covered with a counterfeit varnish of patriotism, so that the precipators of Rebellion might go down in history, hand in hand with the de fenders of the Government, thus wiping out with their own hands their own status. Tills spe cies of self-forgiveness is amazing in its efficiency, when it is considered that life anti property were justly forfeited by the laws of the country, of war, and of nations. Under this inspiration the education of a eat many people, moral, and re ligious, and political has been turned into chan nels wherein all might unite in common. The impoverishment of the South, resulting from war and its concomitants, the emancipation of the slaves, and consequent loss of substance, the am biguityy and uncertainty of political rights, and financial values., as well as personal rivalries, have all combined to strengthen the efforts' of the per nicious teachers. The evil done has been great, and it is not discernable, that an immediate im provement may be expected. THE CUBAN riunusrEas. Deputy Marsbalg Look After the Col. onel—Alleged Breach of the Non. manly Lanrs—The Expedition and its Prospects. The N. Y. Herald thus jocundly tells how the United states Marshal in that city is stirring up the bold buccaneers: •"Arouse ye then, my merrie, merrie men.' Mustaches of - darkened hue, frowns and Fra Diavolo hats, fat men, tall men, lean and lanky, faces bright and daring, others with no expres sion, square shouldered fellows and boys of gin gerbread, heroes of war with scars and heavy tread, now greet the eye in that great rialto of expectation—the park of the City Hall. No longer do people lounge and swing on chains. Notice the bold and steady step— now mark the chiefs in council. a smile pet - - wales the whole assembly, for the golden fields of Cuba pass in panoramic view before their delighted vision. - There is' a simultaneous rubbing of hands, a "hail fellow" slapping of the back and a prevailing sentiment of unalloyed enjoyment. Ho for Cuba ! Anon comes the doctor,._who scrutinizes _the robust and valiant warriors with satisfied gaze. He evidently had not dined. but the tprospect of a banquet in Cuba made him the merriest of the group. Apart from the crowd stands Captain Sweetman, look ing at the sky, intently watching the fast fleeting clouds. Sweetman is not a coward, for it will be remembered that ho carried the Fenian heroes a cross the ocean in thefrailest shell,that there were stowed away in the hold of the jacmel many thou sand stands of arms, and that the expedition was commanded by Colonel Kerrigan, who, by the way, mildly joined in the debate. But Colonel Gibbons, the head and centre of the patriots, was ill at ease. There had been trouble in the camp that morning. .Keen-eyed deputy marshals had been in quest of him; had been to his war office where they found clerks writing at 2.10 in vain endeavors to answer the scores of applicants for information—those seeking commissions and others asking for a fair distribution of the rich plantations. Among the many communications were some which eagerly inquired as to whether Cuba should not be - made a separiito kingdoins. At all events, the marshals were in earnest, and acting up to, it is said, official au thority, wished to beinformed on certain mili tary matters. The Colonel was not at home, but a mandate was left for him to appear at Marshal Murray's bureau, either for instructions or ar rest. Down came the Colonel with another colonel to the trysting place and presented them selves with due pomp, demanding what breach of the neutrality laws had as yet been made. There -was no response, but-subsequently- encountering the deputies, they were informed that in accordance with certain instructions in quiries were being instituted as to the proposed expedition, and that if certain information were correct the principals would be plauedin_durance vile. A merry_langhoLsna. of the finger and a joke were returned and_so the matter dropped. "When Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of war," and before the fili busters leave for Cuba the Penitentiary will per haps require a large stock of provisions., Be that as it may, "it's an . ill wind blows nobody good." That an army is being organized there is every reason to believe, and if current statements are to be credited the coffers are fall. So far secrecy has characterised the movement, but too many are ready to join anything that promises good pay, ' and who knows what may come of it? There are fat pickings, in Cuba, and the hope of being enriched may drive the veriest filibusterer who ever lived to attempt an expedition. The independence of Cuba and Ra - subsequent annexation' to the United States are said to be the motives that prompt this un dertaking.' -Suck disinterested> patriotism de: serves substantial recognition, and when the raid shall have been successfully completed the government cannot do less than distribute thd spoils -fairly- among all hands. - The:generals; colonels and principal officers having =laid down ,their arms _like ,;.the.., great heroes of Rome, will devote themselves to agricultural pursuits, the slaves will be free and planters will whine In. dis pair. Great times to come.- Who would not be a soldier? , PHILADELPHIA, 'WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1868. THE EVARTS DINNER iN NEW YORK. Speeches by Admiral Farragut, Secre tary schoirield. Mayor liolanaa and liresyster From the New York fferald'a-account of the Everts dinner, last night, we extract the follow . Inn : The toast of "The Army and Navy," was giYen and drank,with all the honors. GENERAL SCHOFIELD . :4 SPEECH. General Schofield, on rising to respond to the toast, said :—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, in , the monarchies of the Old World it Is said that the army is the safety of the nation. With equal truth it may be said in this country the army is the safety of _ the republic. Cheers.[- While equally true, yet how different the meaning of these words in their application to the two cases. The army on which this republic relies tor its safety Is no vast body of idle, ignorant Men, drilled and disciplined to execute the will of a despot; nor yet is it the little nucleus of regular troops in which is preaerved tho knowledge of the art of war ready to bedleseminated to an unlimited extent in time of need. The army of the republic is composed ,of the great body of the young men of the nation —men who are habitually employed in the arts of peace,hut who spring to arms when their country calls, and rally around the little body, of trained officers and men who stand ready to lead them to victory. ['Great cheers.] How per fectly, though perhaps unconsciously, the coun try feels the fact that in its army is its main re liance for protection—[Applause]—the men whose patriotism, courage, ability and fidelity have been tried on the field of battle. [Cheered Whether it be in the world of com merce, Or trade, or science—whether it be in the the legislative halls of the State or of the nation, or on the judicial bench,or in the executive chair, these are the men the nation trust. [Applause.] They on their part ask no reward for services — p - effonnedsave a fair recognition for what they do. They ask no place of trust or profit, but with true, bumble, honest fidelity endeavor to do their whole duty in any sphere to which their country men may assign them. Let us hope tnat the army of the republic may ever retain the high and honorable character for bravery, modesty, and patriotic devotion to duty. [Applause. J SPEECH OF ADMIRAL FAMLAOCT. On the Admiral rising to respond to the toast of the Navy, he was greeted with great applause. He said—Mr. Chairmen and gentlemen, in re sponse to the sentiment you have so kindly re ceived I will acknowledge it and thank you for it. The President of this meeting announced me as the repreeentative of the navy. The navy, I believe, has always done its duty. It is a nucleus around which, I hope, our young men will al ways be found to rally. I have been lately abroad as the war is now over, and I was sent away per haps to give me recreation—[ laughter]—and now it affords me great pleasure to say that in all my intercourse with foreign-nations I found always extended to me the-hand of fellowship and good will everywhere. I Applause. I I do not think we....shall be called upon, to do much more service -in the way of war. Applause. In the midst of which the Admiral took his seat. The next toast was "The Veterans of the Bar." The toast was very happily responded to by Mr. James W. Gerard, who kept the younger members of the company in fits of laughter at his witty and epigrammatic points and re marks in his review of the history of the bar tome forty years back. The sixth regular toast—"TheJudiciary"—was responded to by Judge Daly, who treated the subject with his usual ability, and who in the course of his remarks was frequently applauded. The next toast was—" The City and State of New York." SPEECH OF MAYOR HOFFMAN, GOVERNOR ELECT. The toast next on the list, as above, having been duly honored, the Governor elect responded to it as follows : As Governor he felt some deli cacy in responding to one portion of the toast— the city—he having tendered his resignation of Mayor he doubted the propriety of saying any thing about it, and on the other hand, so far as the State was concerned, as it was proposed or talked of very seriously to contest his election, he doubted the propriety of saying anything about it. [Cheers.] One act of his life he was sure ho could refer to without the slightest re ference to political affairs or to political differences. He referred to the honored guest of the evening, when he stepped aside, not from his professional duty, but in the way of it, to give his (Mr. Evarts's) services in defence of the Chief Magistrate of the country, incurring thereby perhaps the enmity of some and making no new friends. But recognizing the fact that professional duty called him where he went, with ability unsurpassed—with boldness and firmness—l cheersi—he went to the discharge of it (Referring to Mr. Evarts's brilliant, criti cism of Mr. Boutwell's impeachment speech, and of his flight of fancy ad antra, he made a happy allusion between that and the present occasion ad Astor, which elicited general laughter. I Mr. Hoffman, con tinuing, said he had noticed that some of oar dis tinguished countrymen in the interior had pro posed to divide the State. He would not, how ever, divide the toast, "The Empire: City and the Empire State." The cite had always better be long to the State and the State had better belong to-the city. [Cheers. They do' very well .to gether; they might not do very well apart I Ap plause and laughter. I They very well unite as Empire City and Empire state. The Empire City makes the Empire State and the Empire State makes the Empire city. I Applause. But I he heard men of prominence and distinc tion within our borders talking about division because some perhaps in some localities public sentiment went for division. But this spirit of secession in the State or in the Union had better be quenched here. [Great applause. I He knew no better place for it or time than the present, when the President elect [great cheersl, who, in hie sphere and in the line of his duty, did so much to prevent division in the country, and, if he was permitted to say it, he knew of no better time and no better man to denounce the idea of dividing a State or country than the present—when he was elected at this time to pre side over the destinies of the whole country. [ Applause. The Governor elect closed with the sentiment : I now give you, gentlemen, "The city arid - State of NCI York, that have grown and prospered together—may the folly or fanati cism of man never be able to divide them." Attorney-General Brewster, of Pennsylvania, was introduced by Mr. O'Conor, and said: Mr. President and Gentlemen: To-day by some accident not well understood by me, I was caught within your jurisdiction and summoned into 3 our presence. It is a happy accident to me thus to be brought before you, for I have enjoyed your personal acquaintance and friendship for many long years.- - I-wish,- however, that I had not been selected to address you. A short no tice was given me a few minutes ago, and as the time approached when I was expected to address you, each moment seemed a terrible one to me; for so much had been said, t os e_ we n said, those who preceded me, and those topics suitable to be alluded to have been so well treated that I feel that all I could say would be barren and profitless. One thing, how ever, happened here to-night which sent a pulsa tion and thrill of joy and exultation through my heart, and no man would listen to it, who is a loyal and respectable layman, and an educated man, but would feel a sense of exultation such as I felt. I allude to the sublime response from the Bar which followed Mr. Evarts's ma jestic and splendid denunciation of the un just judge Leheers], showing the virtue which regulates and controls the very life and soul of our noble- and beloved profession. [Cheers. Gentlemen, i let •us 'remember with a sense or glory, how , llustriOns the history of our profes- Won has been. The bar of America has held the same relative position to civil liberty and political civilization that, the clergy bore to religious civilization in Ehrope when She rose from a con dition of barbarism.: We 'are. sir, the lineal de ' ecendanta of the clergy—our judges are the lineal descendants of the archbishops, 'the bishops, and the mitred abhota, who enee ruled not reonly the courts but the 'intellectual minds of Europe. And wei too, - are bottad by the same exulteCand holy obligation, and' when I heard the reverend and 'learned clergyman to-night touch that bond of sympathy, entitle to Um OUR. WHOLE COUNTRY. golden link which binds-us in common to one holy cause—the cause of civilization and Christi anity—l felt that we were now as lAJtte begin ning, Brethren. Let us always retheriaber to bo brethren, let us cultivate and keep alive that asso ciation between the clergy and the bar, and let na above all things never forget to be gentlemen of tho Bar. Cheers.l FTIWgT7MWM77I'"I'4nI7"'W'n This morning's New York Herald says: The day has been another remarkable one in the history of Wall street. The fluctuations in the stock market have not been so violent nor the volume of business so large as on yesterday, bat the feeling was one of continued excitement, es pecially daring the afternoon, what the news reached the street of a renewal of the Erie Rail way war in the courts. Erie and gold were again the features of business. The former dropped from 54, the opening price, to 47, but rallied late in the afternoon to 49 a 50. Gold opened at 1363 p and , settled to 3.343 i before the adjournmed•of the board. The rival speculators in Erie ate again litigants. The tine party, after suffering great lose at the hands of the other, have had recourse to the aid of=the law. It appears that Mr. Daniel Drew, an ex-Director of the road, was "Cornered" in a short speculation, as well as a number of bank ing houses doing business on foreign account, who, on what they believed to be 'anticipatory news of the value of Erie, as emoted at the Lon don Stock Exchange, were tempted to sell "short." Such is one of the many versions on the street. Indeed, the whole atmosphere of Wall street was rife to-day with all sorts of rumors concerning the movements and operations of the various parties to the transactions in this famous stock. The situation is so confused and the smoke of the contest yet so dense upon the battle-field that it is very difficult to get a satisfactory view of the real condition of affairs in the truce which the courts have suddenly declared. Enough is seen, however, to show that the speculations of the last month have been on a gigantic scale, suchns never were equalled before in Wall street., while it is doubtful if they have been surpassed else where. Millions of dollars have seen handled as if they were thousands,and the capital employed has been such as to make the outside public gape with astonishment at the daring and Oldness of the operators. During the, day an injunction was sued out in the Supreme Court, before Judge Sutherland. restraining the directors of the Erin Railway from doing anything further toward the issue of new stock and enjoining them from dis-I Curbing any of the papers, accounts or moneys of the corporation. It was granted upon the appli• cation of Mr. August Belmont, who is the pos sessor of four thousand shares, the value of which he alleges is likely to be depreciated by reckless management on, the part of the aforesaid directors. The application is supported by the affidavits of Mr. Francis Work and Mr. Daniel Drew. The latter makes a clean breast of his connection with the movement last winter, in which be got out of the "corner" prepared for him by Mr. Vanderbilt,and acknowledges that he joined the great Broad street clique, formed for the purpose of "locking up greenbacks," and contributed a million dollars for that object, which he subsequently withdrew. Ilia a curious turn of fortune that he should find himself now in the very predicament he was in last winter, but with his former allies for his bitterest enemies. Mr. Behriont appears in the litigation, it is said, as the representative of the foreign houses who suffered from the risein Erie engineered on Sat urday night and Monday. Such is the aspect of affairs on the losing side of the battle, for a bat tle it is between financial giants. Of the strategy on the other side nothing is positively known outside of their own camp. It is rumored, how ever, that in anticipation of such a step on the part of Mr. Belmont and Mr. Drew the directors themselves, or so many of them as are privy to the alleged speculative use of the funds and stock of the corporation, secretly applied for and obtained four days ago the appoint ment of a receiver from their own ranks, the person selected being, the report farther says, Mr. Jay Wield. It is alets said that to put as much money as possible beyond the clutches of the law in case an injunction should issue seven millions of gold have been transferred across the Hudson to Jersey City, thus placing it beyond the juris diction of the New York courts. On the other band it is asserted that the losing party intended to sue out an injunction, if they did not actually try to do so, in the United States courts, so as to reach the funds if they are so removed. The effect of these proceedings was to distract the whole stock market and prices were wilily irregular for a time, but without the wide fluctu ations of yesterday. Erie opened on the street in the early morning at 53 and 54, but declined to 52 before the first board. At the open board it was quoted between St and 52, and thence steadily ac dined until the first Hush of the news of legal proceedings. when it dropped to 47, with offers at 43, seller thirty. It went up and down during the afternoon between 47 and 49 until It assumed something like steadiness in the vicinity of the latter figure at four o'clock. The rest of the list, sympathizing -with Erie f weakened with it proportionately and recovered in the saute t.egree. Erie became - firm towards the close at 49,0 n the strength of suspicions that the clique contemplated, before they were served with the injunction, cancelling bonds or stock, and thus to give cause for another "bull" movement, When the injunction had been served this firm ness continued, under the impression that there would be a scarcity of cash stock, owing to the large quantity locked up by the legal proceed ings, and hence there was a difference of one or two per cent. between regular and seller—three transactions. Late In the evening an operator on the street, suspected of being in the Drew inte rest, was freely offering to buy Erie at 1 50; with the privilege, however, of selling it back at 48 within three days. A Pittsburgh paper of Tuesday says: A terrible and fatal accident occurred yesterday morning,near Johnstown,resulting in the instant death og two men, named respectively Joseph Noble and David Bee. The two men mentioned were employees of the Johnstown Iron Com pany, and were employes yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock. in blasting ore in the ore bank belonging to the Company. They had arranged the fuse for a blast, and were just about leav ing it after setting fire to it, when in some manner, the blast exploded prematurely. The explosion occurred while the unfortunate men were quite near tLe fuse, and they were both, as we have said, instantly killed.
