WOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE
LETTER FROM !"ART&
lOorreopondepco of the Phila. Evinitniatnnetin - 1 7
Ennis, Tuesday, March 14, 1870. --Nothing
is talked of but , the duel between
the two royal cousins at Madrid and its fatal
result. Every reigning family seems to have
its black sheep,' and this Henri de Bourbon
semi to have been the black sheep of the.
Bourbons. He was a sort of Pierre Bonaparte,
having led a strange, wild, reckless sort of
life. In principles; if he could be said to have
any, he appears .to have been i curious mix
ture between a Spanish ' Carli..4 and a
French Red Republican. He was, as
you are no . doubt aware; the brother
of the husband of Queen Isabella, and was
once spoken of for the honorable post of con
sort to that illustrious lady himself. But that
old fox, Louis Philippe, anti his plausible Mm-
ister, Guizot, for reasons best known to them
selves, and which it is better perhaps not to
dwell upon, preferred Don Francois d'Assises:
It was partly on accountof this preference,and
the motives for it, and the advantages which,
it was hoped, would result from it to the Due
de Montpensier and his family, that
this Henri de Bourbon so hated
the;Orleans fainily in general and the Due de
Montpensier in particular. Aud thus it is that
these royal and political alliances, and the
manoeuvres and stratagems connected with
them, bring about mischief and bloodshed to
individuals, and trouble to the nations which
are made the tools and subjects of con
tention. 'However, this Henri do Bourbon
was, by general assent, a mauvais sujet of the.
first water, and most persons feel inclined to
make every allowance possible for the Due
do Montpensier, even when feeling at the
same time the impossibility of wholly de
fending the course he has pursued. But his
cousin seemed determined to goad him to ex
tremities, relying, perhaps, upon his well
kiiown paCific character, and even upon the
common reports .of his want of personal
courage. Only a year ago he wrote, an ex
cessively abusive letter about the Duke,. and
published it in several Spanish newspapers.
The Dnke was then on the point
of sending 'him a challenge. But
his intentions having become known
to some of his,family, they, and especially his
son-in-law, the Count de Paris, interfered and
pr evented,Or, indeed, prom erten tee ineatieg
Unfortunately, on the present occasion, the
two parties foUnd themselves together at
Madrid; and Don Henri seized the oppor
tunity of - writing and publishing a twit of
manifesto, of the most abusive and even bru
tal character, against the Duke and all his
fluidly: You will; no.' doubt, see this docu
ment elsewhere in print. It is scarcely pos
sible to imagine anything coarser or
More offensive. The writer states his
",profound contempt" for the personal char
acter of. Montpensier, and declares that his
"political harlequin trick" must excite the
same' feeling in every honorable man. He
calls him "a knave, full of the Jesuitism of
his ancestors ;" accuses him of bribing right
and left to obtain the crown of Spain, and
winds up by designating him as a " blustering
French pastry cook?' Such rubbish, coming
from such a man, and from a relative, might,
and perhaps ought to have been overlooked
and treated with indifference by a person of
the Duke's really high standing and charac
ter. This time, however, he entirely concealed
his intentions from his own family, and put
himself into the hands of Generals Cordoba
and Alaminos, men of honor and high
consideration, officially attached to the house
hold of the Regent Serrano. Considerable
surprise is expressed here that they should
have allowed such a meeting between near re
latives to take place, and more 'especially un
der such murderOus conditions. Seconds, in
such cases, generally interfere after a first
shot, and insist upon the conflict ceasing,
and the parties being satisfied. But
here they sanctioned a second, and even a
third shot, under circumstances which almost
necessitated a fatal result. • They appear to
have thought that nothing less than blood
could wipe out such outrages upon the Duke's
, honer. Then, again, there is great diversity
of opinion as to whether the Duke ought not
to have tired in the air the third time, and
thus put an end to the combat in a manner to
shame his adversary. In fact, there is great
diversity of opinion ; and even the best and
warmest friends of the Duke are apprehen
sive that his conduct may be very severely
judged, and fatally affect both his cause in
Spain and his reputation.
just as one brother has come to a violent
end at Madrid, the other poor, despised crea
-tate in Paris is quarrelling with his inisera
ble wife, and suing her before the Courts, not
exactly for a restitution of marital rights, but
for some more definite hold upon their joint
property. It seems that Don Francois insists
that his wife must either be " a queen or not
a queen ;" and that as in-his estimatiou—as
also most assuredly in that of the world in
general—the latter is the only reasonable con
clusion which can by, come to as to her pres
ent state, Isabella, must become a "common
woman," just like any one else, and
cease to " rule" even over such a hus
band as himself. He has therefore
withdrawn himself from the family abode,
and demands his due share at least of the com
mon property, or perhaps it may be said more
correctly, of the common " spoils." This case
is only one more instance of those many scan
dals which are making people sick of royalty,
and bode its approaching fall. The Emperor
Napoleon is said to be terribly annoyed at this
eacopade of his Spanish protegi:s, and to have
sent one of his aides-de-camp to intimate that
any other country then France, and any other.
tribunal than that of Paris, would be more
"convenient" to himself for the exposure of
their family differences.
Only last Friday I mentioned the remarka
ble letter of Count de Id ontalern bert, and now
I have to record his death. This long•expected
event took place at last quite suddenly at his
reeddence on the Rue du Bac, where he had
long lain a hopeless invalid. Count Monta
lernbert was in the sixty-first year of his age,
and his name will doubtless be long honored
in France as one of her most eloquent orators
and most brilliant minds. The two great oh
, jects of his life have been political liberty and
the interests of his own Church. He has had
she satisfaction to see the farmer restored to
his country at his last moments. What he
thinks of the latter, his letter, which readslike
a cry of agony wrung from him, will have told
you better than anything I can say.

THE CREAII Oke Wilk NEW nuoati.
Graphle . decooikt of the Gold Paulo of
eleptember.
From "Men and Mysteries of Wall Street,"
by James K, Medbery, soon to •be published,
with original illustrations, by Fields, Oagood &
Co., we extract a spirited pen-picture of the
rich• scenes in the New York Gold Room in
September :
THE GOLD FRIOTIT OF 1869.
On the 22d of September gold stood at 1372
when Trinity bells rung out the hour of twelve.
By two it was at 130. Before night its lowest
quotation was 141." This ascent, regular, tin-
IMO noting, and evidently predetermined, car
ried the more alarm by the very extent of the
rise. In the old Rebellion days a ten-per-cent.
.increase in eight hours was an affair of no mo
ment whatever. It happened every week,
sometimes twice and - thrice a week.
But since the sharp vibrations of June
16th and 18th, 1866, when gold rose
and fell from 154, to 160, and again ifrom
133 to 1671, the utmost daily range
had been two per cent., with occasional frac
tional additions. Three years of dull mono
tony, and now an advance of three and a half
per cent. in five hours I At the same time the
Stock Market exhibited tokens of excessive
febrility, New York Central drooping twenty
three per cent. and Harlem thirteen. Loans
bad become extremely difficult to negotiate.
The most usurious prices fora twenty-four
hours' turn were freely paid. The storm
was . palpably reaching the proportions of a
tempest. '
Nevertheless, the brokers on the bear side
strove manfully under their burden, The
character and purposes of the clique were fully
known. Whatever of mystery had heretofore
enfolded them was now boldly thrown, aside,
and ' the men of Erie, with the sub
lime Fisk in the forefront of
the assailing column, assured. the shorts
that they could not settle too quickly, since it
remained with the ring, now holding calls for
one hundred millions, either to kindly Compro
mitie at 150 or to carry the metal to 200 and
nail it there. This threat was accompanied by
consequencee in which the .mailed hand re
vealed Itself under the silken glove. The Move
matt had intertwisted itself deep into the
affairs of every dealer in the 'street, and entan-.
gled in its meshes vast numberts of outside
speculators, in - borrowing or in margins the
entire
_capitarof the former had been nearly
absorbed, while some five millions had
been deposited by the latter with their brokers
in answer to repeated calls. When -Thurs

to tighten the screws. The shorts received
peremptory orders to increase their borrowing
margins. At the same moment the terms of
loans overnight were raised beyond. the pitch
of ordinary human endurance. Stories were
insidiously circulated exciting suspicion of the
integrity of the Administration, and strength
ening the belief that the National Treasury ,
would bring no help to the wounded bears.
Whispers of an impending lock-up of money
were prevalent; and the fact, 'then shrewdly
suspected, and now known, of certifications of
checks to the amount of twenty-five millions
by one bank alone on that-day lent color to the
rumor. Many brokers lost courage. and set
tled instantly. The Gold Room shook withthe
conflict, and the battle prolonged itself into a
midnight session at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The' din of the tumult had penetrated to the:
upper chambers of journalism. Reporters were
on the alert. The great dailies magnified the
struggle, and the Associated Press spread Intel
ligence of the excitement to remote sections.
When. Friday opened clear and calm, the pave
ment of Broad and New streets soon filled up
with unwonted visitors. All the idle population
of the city and its neighborhood crowded into
' the financial quarter to witness the throes of
the tortured shorts: Blended with the merely
curious were hundreds of o'itside speculators
who had ventured their all in the great stake,
and trembled in doubt of the honor of their deal
ers. Long before 9 A. M. these men, intensely
interested in the day's encounter,poured through
the alley-Way from Broad street,and between the
narrow walls of New street, surginn , tip around
the doorways, and piling themselves densely
and Painfully within the cramped galleries of
the Room itself.;!They had' made good the
fresh calls for margins up to 143,, the closing
figure of the night before. The paramount
question now was, how would gold open?
They had not many minutes to wait. Press
] fug up to the Ibuntain, around which some
fifty brOkers lad already congregated, a bull
operator with resonant voice bid 145 for
twenty thousand. The shout startled the gal
leries. Their margins were once more in
jeopardy. 'Would their brokers remain firm?
It was a terrible moment. The bears closed
round the aggressors. Yells and shrieks filled
the air. A confused and baffling whirl of
sounds ensued, in -which all sorts of frac
tional bids and oilers mingled, till '46
emerged from the chaos. The crowd
within the arena increased rapidly in numbers.
The clique , agents became vociferOulf. Gold
steadily pushed forward in its perilous upward
movement from '46 to '47; thence to '49, and,
pausing for a brief, twenty minutes, dashed on
to 1501. It was now considerably past the
. hour of __the regular session. The President
was in the chair. The Secretary's pen was
bounding over his registry book. The floor
of the Gold 'Room was, covered with three
hundred agitated dealers and operators, shout
ing, heaving in masses against and around the
iron railing of the fountain, falling back upon
the approaches to the committee-rooms and
the outer entrance, guarded with rigor
ous care by sturdy dour-keepers. Many
Of the principal brokers of the street
were there, Kinourr, who had turned
traitor to the Ring; Colgate,! the Baptist;
Clews, a veteran govermneut broker; one of
the Marvins, James Brown, Albert Speyer, and
dozens of others hardly less fainoinf., Every:in
dividual of all that seething throng had a per 7
sepal stake beyond, and, in natural human es
timate, a thousand-fold more deur than that,
of any outside patron, no matter how deeply or
ruinously that patron might lie involved. At
11 of the dial gold was 15112 ; in six minutes it
jumped to 155. Then - the pent-up tiger spirit
burst from control. The arena rocked as the
Coliseum may have rocked 'when the gates of
the wild beasts were thrown open, and with
wails and shrieks the captives of the empire
sprang to merciless encounter with the ravenous
demons of the desert. The storm of voices lost
human semblance. Clenched hands; livid
faces, pallid foreheads on wbich heads of
_cold sweat told the interior anguish!, lurid,
passion-fired eyes,—'ll the syMPtorits of a ceyer,
which at any moment Might ' becoMe . fiend;
were there. The shouts of golden 'millions
upon mil ions hurtled in all ears. The labor
of years was disappearing and reappearing !in ,
the wave line of advancing and receding
prices. With fortunes melting away in a,
second, with five hundred ,millions of gold in
process of sale or purchase, with the terror of
' yet higher prices; and the exultation which
came and went with the whispers of fresh
' men entering front Broad street bearing con
' fused rumors of the probable interposition of
the Government, it is not hard to understand
how reason faltered oh its throne, and
.operators became reckless, buying or
selling " without thought of the 'nor
row • or consciousness of the present.
Then came the terrific bid of Albert Speyer for
,anY number of millions ut William Parks
Sold Instantly two millitnisand ibalf One

161,462,1624. For five minutes " the Board
reeled under the ferocity of the attack. Seconds
became bents. The agony of Wellington
awaiting Plucker was in.the souls - of the bears.
Tben'a'broker,reported to be acting for Liming

clique at the top price of fhe - da3r. LlallOrte:

oldie Treasury had come, , to theirescae swept
through the chamber, gold ..felLfrom 160':to'
140, and thence, with hardly the' interval of
one quotation, to 133. The,,end had come,
and the exhausted operators':` out of
the stilling hall into the fresh air of the street.
To them, however, came: no peace. In some
offices customers by dozens, whose margins
were irrevocably burnt away in nthe Smelting
furnace of the. Gold Board, confronted their
dealers with taunts and threats of violence for
their treachery. In others the nucleus: of mobs
beean to form, and, as the day wore off, Broad
street had the aspect of a riot.. Tinge masses
of men gathered before the doorway of Smith,
Gould, Martin & C0.,,atl Heath & Co. Fisk
was assaulted, and his life threatened. Deputy
Sheriffs and pollee, officers appeared on the
scene. In Brooklyn a company of troops
were held in readiness to march upon Wall
street.
When night came Broad street and
its vicinity saw an unwonted sight.
The silence and the darkness which
ever rests over the lower city after, seven of
the evening was broken by the blaze: of gas
light from a hundred windows, and the footfall
of clerks hurrying from a hasty repast back to
their desks. Until long after Trinity bells
pealed out the dawn of. a new day, men bent
over their books, scrutinized the Clearing
House statement for the morrow, .took what
thought was possible for the future. At the
Gold Exchange Bank the weary accountants
were making ineffective efforts to complete
Thursday's business. That . toilful midnight,
at the close of the last great passion-day of the
bullion-worshippers will be ever memorable
for its anxieties and unsatisfying anguish.
Saturday brought no relief. The Gold Board
met only to adjourn, as. the Clearing-House
had been incapable of the task of settling its ac
counts, consplicated as they were by ever fresh
failures. The small brokers bad gone under
by scores. The rumors of the impending sus
pension of some of the largest houses of the
street gave fresh grounds for fear. The Stock
Melange was now the centre of attraction.
If that yielded, all was lost. To sustain the
market waivital. But whence was the saving
power to come? All through yesterday shares
bad been falling headlong. New York Central
careened to 148, and then recovered to 185- 0 .
Hudson plunged from 1'73 to 145. - Pittsburgh
fell to 68. Northwest reached 62 1 4. The
shrinkage throughout all securities had been

pulse downward continue? The throngs
which filled the corridors and overhung
the stairway from which one can look down
upon the Long Room saw' only mad tumult,
heard only the roar of the biddings. For any
certain knowledge they might have been in
Alaska. But the financial public , in the quiet
of their offices and nervously scrutinizing the
prices reeled off from the automaton telegraph,
saw that Vanderbilt was supportiOg' the New
York stocks, and that the weakness in other
shares was not sufliclent to sliadow forth panic.
It soon became known that the capitalists from
Philadelphia, Boston, and the 'great Western
cities had thrown themselves into the breach,
and were earning fortunes for them
selves as well as gratitude from the
money-market, by
.the judicious daring
of their purchases. The consciousness of
this new element was quieting, but Wall
street was still too feverish to be reposed by au
ordinary anodyne. A run op the Tenth Na
tional Bank had commenced, and all day long
a steady line of dealers filed up to the counter
of the payer teller, demanding their balances.
The courage and the ability in withstanding
the attack which were shown by the president
and his associates : deserve something more
than praise. The old Exchange Bank wit
nessed a similar scene, angry brokers assaulting
•the clerks and threatening all possible things
unless instantaneous settlements were made.,.
The freedom with which the press had given
details of the explosion had been extremely
hurtful to the credit of many of the best houses.
In a crisis like that of Black Friday the sluice
gates of passion open. Cloaked in the masque
rade of genuine distrust, came forth whispers
whose only origin was in ancient enmities,
long-treasured spites, the soundless depths of
unquenchable malignities. Firms of staunchest
reputation felt the rapier stroke of old angers.
The knowledge that certain houses were, large
holders of particular stocks was the signal of
attacks upon the shares. Despite of outside
orders for vast amounts, these influences had
their effect upon securities, and aided to tighten
the loan market. One, one and a halt; two
and even four ner cent. were the compulsory
terms on which money could alone be bor
rowed to carry stocks over Sunday.
On Monday, the 27th, the Gold Board met,
but only to be informed that the Clearing
House was not ready to complete the work of
Friday. Important accounts had been kept
back, and the dealings, swollen in sum-total to
live hundred millions, were beyond the capa
city of the clerical force of the Gold Bank to
grapple with. A resolution was brought for
ward proposing the resumption of operations
Ex-Clearing House. .The measure took the
members by surprise, for a moment quivered
between acceptance and rejection, and then
was swiftly tabled. It was an, immense bear
scheme, for no Exchange can transact business
where its 'ealers are under suspicion. All out
standing accounts require immediate fulfil
ment. Failure to make good deliveries'would
have insured the instant selling out of default
ers "under the rule." As the majority of bro
kers were Inextricably involved in the late diffi
culty, the only consequence would have been
to throw them into bankruptcy, thus
bringing some sixty millions under the
hammer. The market could not have borne
up under such an avalanche. It was decided
that the Room should be kept open fur borrow
ings and loans, but that all dealings should be
suspended. One result of this complication
was that gold had no fixed value. It could be
:bought at one house for 133, and at other
offices sold for 130.' The Board thus proved
its utility at. the very juncture when least in
favor.
The remainingiiistory of the panic need
not , long detain utl. As more and more
light fell upon the tactics of the ring,
it was seen that the ' final basis
of their scheme was the use of a very old
trick, first put in practice long ago on the Lon
don Stock Exchange. Two dealers league to
gether. One boys all that he can by cash or
,credit; ,tho other sells proportionately, . One
loses heavily ; the' other gains vastly. The
former breaks and retires; the latter remains,
and secretly divides up the profits. With pro
' per regard for that bulwark of the American
people, the libel law, we shall not undertike
to carry out comparison. It may not be uu
. fair, however, to note as an example of the
proportions of the struggle, that, Albert Speyer,
on Friday, . bought $47,000,000 and failed to ,
Make good his contracts; while Belden , Sr, Co.
"broke" for $50,000,000; and several others,
supposed to be acting for the clique, had obli
gations out for so many millions that no at
tempt has yet.been made to.give them numeri

The Alleged Medlin !Massacre.
The followine was received yesterday at army
headquarters :
Four "Ews, Montana, March 23, 1870.--
General P. H. 13hericlan,commanding Military
Division, Ghicago: In answer to your telegram
received on the 22d inst., I report that after
having made every effort to get the judgment
of the officers of the command, 1 was satisfied
the followina a number approximates as nearly
to the exact truth as possible :
The number killed at the Piegan-villap was
173, of whom 120 were able-bodied men, and
i 3 women and children; 14 women and chil
dren were'afterwardS captured and released.
I believe that every effort was made by the offi
cers and men to. protect the non-combatants,
and such women and children as were killed
were accidentally killed.
The report published in the Eastern papers
is wholly and maliciously false. It seems In
credible that the false assertions of two persons,
neither of whom had made any efforts to in
form themselves in the matter, should outweigh
the reports of those engaged in the fight, and
who feel that they have nothing to palliate or
conceal in their conduct. All that the officers
of the command ask of the authorities is a full ,
and complete investigation of the campaign,
and less than this cannot be conceded them.
