Alleged Corruption In lII® American
Consulate ih Alexandria, Egypt.
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.

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. If the President
sees proper to recoivo them. This
was done to prevent tho overwhelming
pressure upon the President, from citizens of
every, degree, who come to ask him for every im
aginable appointment, from a first-class foreign
mission to a petiv clerkship In one of the Depart
ments. 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. Grant Is determined io take things
easy, and It is nnderstood he has arranged
for an excursion to Mount Vernon, with his fam
ily, one day this week, on board tbe U. B.steamer
Tallapoosa, now lying at the Navy Yard bore. Aa
be is compelled to stay here all summer, the&e
little excursions will have a beneficial effect In
keeping him In good health.

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

clothes and body were covered with blood dried

barrel of a double-barreled gnu lay at tbe head
of his bed. The hole in the skall was evidently
from the pin attached to these. His right arm

A Negro Blue Heart! His Execution
To-ilu y.
(From tlie J'lttubareh (Pa.) Chronicle. 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

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
