Tlio Washington correspondent of the New York Ecrald Bays: It is rumored here in well informed circlos that the corruption which has long been known to characterize all the Enropeanconeularagonces in Egvpthas at length reached that ot_ tho Unlied States. Onr Consul, Mr. Charles Halo, has, Hls said, been granted a salary by the Viceroy. It is added that this step has been taken with the ad vice and concurrence of the French Consul-Uon nral. who is high In favor at the Viceregal court. Tho rumor may not be well founded, but our informant speaks of it aB a well estab lished fact. In official circles it is well known that this is the general Egyptian prac tice. Ismail Pacha Is hound to have representa tive agents from other lands in Egypt, but ho wishes them to bo as dumb as possible. The 'Vicoroy has strong faith In the power of money. “Bachskeesh,” he has been known to say, makes even tho British lion tame.. It appears that henceforth he shall be able to use tho same lan guage In regard to the American eagle. He forgets that the United States has a vigilant press, and' that the American people will not tolerate each conduct in their foreign agents. This matter ought to be thoroughly sifted. If Mr. Halo has (token money ho should be recalled at once. yßfcf Bp Vw' ' t LETIEH FBOII WAbHIN«4 01(. *ow Regnlalions at tbe Waite House for Receiving General Visitors- Gram to Uccuperato by Haklngiitorl Excursions by Land and Water- Übengoe In the Custom House by Col lector moore—Assessor Kenney's Ap- poimmcnis oi Assistant Assessors - Ac. fCorreepondcnce of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin I W abhisgtoi? , April 28 —A ceW order was pro mulgated at the White House 10-day, announ cing that hereafter Monday aod Thursday moro lcgß, between 10 and 12 o’clock, would be de voted by the President to the reception of tbe general public, and that all others who desired audiences ju the remaining days of the week, would be admitted on cards.

The order, however, has been mode the occasion of some grumbling on tho part of those who think the President shonld always be at tbo command ol every citizen who chooses to call upou him, no matter how trifling the business may be.

CBDIE. ihe ni'Bnuii at in e reck, n. * A Jeweller tonsil Dead In Hit iteil 'the Tragedy a Mystery. Gilbert H. Robinson, of Rye Neck, was mur dered in his bed on Tuesday morning. He was a eon ef Mr. Thomas Robinson, of Mamaroneck, and was only 26 years of age. On Me nday eve ning be went around among his business friends on a borrowing expedition. Ho wished to make purchases of some diamonds, intending to visit New York on Tuesday morning for the purpose. On this representation one friend lent him $6O, another $26, and others, it is thought, other sumsi some larger, some smaller. The borrowed amount he took to his store, and put it with a lot of jewelry and silverware into the safe. This was done at about 10 o'clock, in the presonco of a young man named Zimmer. From all that can no learned it would scorn that Zimmer was his last inDOCtut visitor that night. Zimmor had re cently bought a watch of him And had taken U there for repair. There was no one on the street near the store when Zimmor left, but he mot a man crossing the bridge towards Robinson’s place. He observed tho man so casually, how ever. as to bo unablo to say whether he was a stranger. On Tuesday morning, at about half past 8 o'clock, Daniel Huber went to the bridge for his morning Sun. On his return he stopped at the shop to get his watch fixed. Ho found tho door open, and went in. Twice he stamped, but received no answer. He then went home. The store remained closed during all of Tues day, but nothing waß thought of that, since Mr. Robinson was to have spent that day in New York. At half-past 10 o’clock on Tuesday night Mr. Wm. A. Fisher went to tho store to get a watch. He found the lights out, theßbutters up, and the door unlocked. Calling for ‘’Gllbort,’’ he received no answer, and went to tho storoof Mr JPorrin, over the bridge. Helmet there Mr. Scllzer, and young Perrin told them that Roblu sou’s store was oponed, and went with thorn to it. Tho three wcntinslde-and hallooed.‘lGUbort” three or four times, but received no answer. They then went to whore his bed lay in a little alcove in the back part of the store. Sollzor advanced, and having rubbed bis hand over tho face of Ro binson, said ho was dead. On bringing a light to the spot they discovered that ■ Seltzer had pro nounced correctly. - -,■■■■ .

The hole in the skall was evidently from the pin attached to these. His right arm lay easily at his side, and his left os though its band had rested on his left cheek, and in sleep slid down a few Inches.

April 27. J Tbe days of life for Lonis Lane are growing fearfully- few. On Thursday of ibis week, shortly al icr the stroke of noon, the unhappy man will 'XcbnriKe this world lor ibe uncertain nexL Meanwhile time seems to pass as serenely with him as though the verge of eternity were not so Dear him. He cats heartily, sleeps soundly, -mokes as many cigars as may bo given him, and teems not to chafe at the narrow walls about him, or to care very much that the next glimpse be gets of the outside world will be his last. Not withstanding tho many reports of hts falling strength, he 1s in the enjoyment of robust health, and has been most of the time since his impri sonment. He Is reticent to the last degree, ■rid will converse very little, and that only in an unsatisfactory manner. He confines hla talk mainly to “yes,” “no” and “I don’t know.” He 'perns anxious to avoid all talk abont bis ap proaching fate, and appears to think as little of it <>e possible. Ho asserts his innocence positively to casual vieitors, whatever he may say to his spiritual attendants. He has been confirmed in 'be Catholic faith,and is daily attended by Father Keir. He professes to have received much con solation and encouragement from the counsels of tbe clergymen. He is frequently visited by tbe Sisters of Charity, two of whom were with him this forenoon for a long time. Lane expresses gratitude to Warden Scandrett and Deputy Smith for their nnlform kindness to him, and his conn 'd, Messrs. Haines and McCarthy, for their un tiring exertions In his behalf. Tbe prisoner, as we learn, was born between ifty end sixty years ago in Waterford, London county, Virginia. He left there in 1846, and came to Wellsbnrg. Subsequently, be resided in Wheeling, aDd then in Washington, Pennsyl vania. He has been married six times, and five Hi hla wives are dead, all but one having died under suspicious circumstances, and three of them under circumstances that were exceedingly ■o. For the murder of his sixth he is to suffer death on Thursday. The fifth one escaped, and -nccetded in sending her husband to the peni- CDliary for six years. She is now living In Brownsville. She is in good health, and will doubtless live to hear of her wonld-be widower’s death. Sheriff Ciuley will himself do the act of execu tion, and has, we need not say, peremptorily de clined the services of the only man who has ap pliidfor tbe''job." Tbe man was a negro. The sallows will be erected on Wednesday, in the jail yaid This morning, by courtesy of Warden Scan drett, we paid a visit to the prisoner in his ceU. A gentleman for whom Lane had formerly * orked was visiting him, and the prisoner was a trifle more sociable than nsnal. He asked seve ral questions concerning the old place and old acquaintances, and seemed considerably interest ed. To the other visitors he was. as nsnal, civil and reserved- He nmrciipn no hone of nardon, sufficient nerve to go throngh the terrible ordeal before him unshaken and unfaltering. He re iterated his innocence, and denied emphatically some ot the statements made concerning him. We hear he denies totally some of the points that are nndonbtedly facts. Daring his conversation with tbe gentleman mentioned the prisoner be came visibly affected for a few moments; but rcide from this we saw no symptoms indicating ;hat he realized his sltnation, except that once be swept a rapid, terrified glance around the cell, looking at each person with a kind of swift, dumb appeal, like a frightened animal. A CLEAR SWIIDLE. Agents lor Indians That Hare Become BxUBCI. The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. H r ia Id con tains the following statement, which illustrates fairly the syßtem of frauds practised in the Indian bureau : The tribe of Delaware Indians is wholly extinct, and has been since April 10, 1867. At that date ■he tribe numbered, ail told, less than eleven hun dred. About one thousand of their number moved from their home in Kansas to the Indian Territory, north of Texas, and became Incorpo rated into the Cherokee tribe—became Chero bees, In fact and in law. The remainder were naturalized as citizens of the State of Kansas, -o that, as I have already stated, the Delaware ribe became wholly extinct on the 10th of April. 18«7. Now, it may or may not astonish taxpayers to learn that a Delaware Indian agent has been drawing his salary Irom the national Treasury up to the present time, and is likely to do so for some time to come. The fortunate incumbent is a warm friend of Senator Pomeroy. President Gram, not being cognizant of the above fact, nominated an honest Quaker friend to the place; but he was rejected by the Senate, and the ever laithful Pomeroy an holds on to his sineeure. I don't know exactly what the place is worth, sal ary and perquisites, but it is regarded as one of ■he la«e6t sort. It is alleged that large quanti .lis of supplies are bought annually for Indians ■l at have no existence whatever excepting on ap- ropriation bills. Certain it is that we have a OiJaware Indian agent in the pay of ihe govern ment, when there is really not a Delaware Indian ■n the fact of the earth, the tribe being wholly xllnct. THE fit I ENDS AND THE INDIANS. Opposition to eranPt Indian Policy— Kansas and Nebraska KeKuse ts Sur render Tltelr Snare of tUe Spoils. The Washington correspondent of the Herald says: There is considerable ill feeling among the Senators and members from the extreme North western States about tho President’s appoint ment of Quaker Indian agents in those States, it appears that the Senators and Representatives irom Kansas and Nebraska, learning of the President’s intention to appoint the Quakors, •ailed upon him and extracted a promise from hiui that he would not appoint Quakers (or the Indian agencies in their respective Slates. He 'crlker agried to allow them lo select ihe men whom they wished to nave appointed. With lhi6 understanding, and happy in the belief -that whoever else uiiubt suffer Kansas and Nebraska would not be indicted with tho Quakers, the Representatives of .he two States left the Executive presence. That was between ten and eleven o’clock in tho moru iDg. About two o'clock on the afternoon of that 6amo day the President’s private secretary brought to tho Senate a batch of nominations, among which were the Quaker Indian agents. To the utter surprise of tho Kansas and Nebraska men, the list included appointments for all the Indian agencies in those two Btates. in self-defence, if not out of retaliation, these ugents were promptly rejected by the Senate. Tho Injured Kansas and Nebraska mon ugain called upon the President and remonstrated with him, at the same time reminding him of his promise. Grnnt, however, was mad; ho was in exorable, and said ho would appoint othor Quakers for those rejected, and the Senate might - reject -tbom-agaln if - they, qhoso. Ho wanted,to carry out his own policy about Indian matters, and he thought It would succeed best In tho hands of Quakers. What especially provoked tho Ne braska mon was tho fact that one of tho parties removed to make room for the Quakors was a man who hod been commissioned, by President Grout only a few weekß before. Thus far tho Kansas and Nebraska Senators have been unable to make tho President relent. OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. 'ibe Hew Scat off Uar—Government Canardw, Havaha. Saturday, April 24,1869 The Span iard are evidently becoming aware of the fact that summer and the rainy Reason are fast ap proaching, and tfa&t something mast be done by main strength to change tbe present uncertain slate of affairs and to fix on a place which may be called the seat of war, and also a base of opera tions. Puerto Principe has until now been the Richmond of the war. The Cubans have tried aa well aa they knew bow to take it, while the Span iards, with great tenacity, boro refused to given p, nod still not only bold me place bat are actually amdlDg cut forces to points on tbe north and -outh coast to eecort convoys of provisions back. An army ol atooi h.uoo Hpaniarrie, under the coib m&cd of Letona, is now missing in Nnevitas; their first object will undoubtedly bo tho recon struction of tbe railway, which will enable them to remove tbe troops quickly from the coast and to the 2,000 men who are now engaged convoying provisions to act against the enemy. Judging from past events, they will undoubtedly be successful in their attempts, and will clear the neighborhood of Pnerto Principe of insurgents. The Havana journals will pub lish glowing accounts of battles won, ana of deeds of heroism performed, and probablv will make the announcement that the Insurrection in that part of the island has been completely quelleo. The Spanish population all over the island will join in tbe chorus of the Diario and other journals in singiDg hosannah and hallelu jah, and everything will wear a rose-colored as pect for or three weeks, when the lull and then the reaction wxU set in. The troops will remain sta tionary in some tewn or hamlet, and will make occasional sallies, and kill a few insnrgents. Then all of a sudden me whipped and dispersed rebels will appear a hundred or more miles from the then seat of war, will levy contributions, burn plantations, cut off communications, in crease their numbers, and be ready to commence the same game over again, while the Spaniards wiU have filled tbe hospitals, done a great deal of hard work and gained nothing, not even glory, for there are no fights. The Spaniards call the Cubans cowards, and say ana publish that they always run from the troops, but forget that everything is fair In love and war, and that the Cubans are victorious whenever they run away. Their principal weapon of offence and defence is this same running away; they use up the Spaniards and save themselves. The troops find no enemy to fight, but the Cubans cause them severe losses by Bickness, and at the same time destroy tbe energy aDd morale of the Spanish soldier, who does nothing but march and who gets disgusted at a war in which there are no enemies and there is no fightiog. The plan pur sued by the Cubans is the only one which can insure them success A'. Y. Times. Condition of Affairs— Intentions of Baez. A Ban Domingo correspondent of the New York Times sends tho following : It is publicly asserted that President Baez is not only disposed to sell the Bay of B&mana to the United States, but that he han conferred fall powers on his commissioner to Washington, air* Patens, to sell or annex the whole Republic. Tbe rumor of such a negotiation being on foot 'T*r uL «« , iieral dissatisfaction. truth be shed. Excepting me- foreign mercfiairw, iu« whole population is opposed to annexation, the majority of the inhabitants being composed of blacks, who tear tbe despotism of the whites. They can never forget the bloody consequences ol the late Bpanieh annexation. Everything de pends on the sagacity of President Baez. He will ucc< ed if he can close the bargain before tbe people open their eyes; otherwise he may prove a victim of national indignation. The health of the island continues good. The Newspaper Scandal Phi ladrlphla, April 28. —T0 the Editor of the Mrening Bulletin: Some papers to-day publish an article from the New York Sun in which it is said i hat Mr. John Rnssell Yonng fleeced me of $l,OOO. This is wholly untrue. Never, directly or indi rectly, did I loan money to that gentleman or any one on his account, or at his request or instance. Such is my respect for him and his abilities, that I would be happy et any time to give him any help if he required it. Mr. John D. Stoek iod, a mend, for whom I have a great regard, did twice or three times daring the past six months borrow from three hundred to one thou sand dollars of me,but he always promptly repaid it within a few days, and he has not owed me for a long time. He always borrowed on„his own account, and not on aeeount of any other. This I would not now mention, but he states so himself in his pa per to-day, and the article in the Sun asserts that 1 bad been fleeced by Mr. Young for the Morning /'■SI. 1 will conclude by saying that my loans were those of friendship; and I was then too glad—as 1 will again be too glad—thus to help a worthy, apright yonng gentleman in the honest pursuit ot an honest living. I am respectfully, Benjamin Harris Brewster. The Sun has nover asserted that Benjamin Harris Brewster was fleeced out ef $l,OOO by John Russell Young. The card above is caleu attd to mislead tho public. What the Sun did say j as lollows : ••With $12,200 from Cameron, $3,000 from Grow, and $l,OOO which it is positively asserted •a- received from Attorney-General Brewßter— siii.iOO in all—the ships kept afloat."
