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 handsomest young Boyar in St. Peters burg bears the euphonious name of Count Kratismayoshaj elv sky. —With nearly a hundred wives, ono Would think Brigham Young had nursery enough for one man, but they hay he is setting out 200,000 alew.frult trees. ;--An unpleasant young lady in Chicago re venged herself on ,a woman she (Rehired, by stealing 'her child, carrying it into a church of ann 'loft and taking away all its clothes, the ethi.day, THE DAILY EVENING BIILLETIN4HILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, M ARCH 29, 1870. 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 day morning rose; gold started at 1411, and 9UOII bUCIL up to Wit • JL LTC3.IBC% MP la - 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 lot. 'Yet the bids, so far from yielding, - rose to 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 Brothers ' at London, 'sold five millions to. the clique at the top price of fhe - da3r. LlallOrte: followed; and as the sh4its *ere gathering edurage, the certain newsi. tho,c.the. Secretary 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 IVA less ; wan um u J unumrszo• rv i votzla 4/1/l1 IY. 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 cal computation. rash to newer diggings has left White Pine nearly deserted. —The Empress of the French smokes often ten cigarettes in the course of the day. —Victor lingo derives every year yet a a copyright of nearly fifty thousand, francs from the sale of bis o old novels in Prance. wpcioNG • FELT.—TEN Ihuraaatf3 6 . ll3 f i ii A— na•—wris- !ru n w iv ain rei n t i a f treat or salo 10 PR IV!' - 11 - Tii - 5105:.•'.f,) , 0V11 . 44.1.4 Q.P.. p : ix,...0 - Ap.: V'` - P;11,14k.

Tau; Supreme Court 'of the United States decided, yesterday, in favor of the right of a State to tax the shares of National Banks, and enforce its collection through the Banks. AT the Washinaton Navy Yard 112 work men have been discharged, and half the work men in the . Ordnance Bureau are to berdis.; charged next Friday. In the other departments, the. men are working on one-third to five eighths time. GEN. BUTTAR some time since nominated 'Charles Sumner Wilson, a colored youth, as a cadet at West Point. The cadet has been re jected in the War Department for wanting eight months of the age required by law, which is 17 years. AT Pottsville; on Saturday evening, a large rneeting.of miners was held, at which it was previous meeting, Insisting on "the basis of slaty-nine." A strike on the Ist of April is, therefore, regarded as inevitable. Tat: North Carolina Legislature adjourned yesterday. The Conservative members have issued an address asserting that there is no armed resistance in the State to the civil law, and no county where a Sheriff may not safely execute any process; and declaring Governor Holden's representations to the contrary "a wilful libel upon a people whose rights he has sworn to . protect." Govinuton Pia.sair, of. Illinois, declined to act as Vice President of the Cuban Aid So elety of New York, as he considered it in: on sistent with his public duty as Governor of one of the United btates to aid insurgents against a friendly power. He further has no evidence that the Cuban party have decreed the aboli tion of slavery, and refers to the fact that their leader is General Jordan, who was for years in anus against our free Government, to per petuate slavery. Tors Secretary of the Treasury, yesterday, sent to the House of Representatives a letter from Collector Thomas, of Baltimore, assert ing the necessity for an Assistant Treasurer at that city. Ile also sent a letter from the Sec retary of State, inclosing , a bill appropriating $450,000 in gold, In satisfaction of claims of the Hudson Bay Company, and $'..:00,009 in gold on account of the claims of the Puget's Sound Agricultural Company, as agreed upon by treaty with Great Britain. AT Salt Lake City, on Saturday night,, a meeting - of - merchants - and -- professional men was held in reference to the anti-Polygamy bill. A committee was appointed to prepare a me morial to the Senate of the United States, ask ing the expurgation from the bill of the sec lion which punishes the continuance of the " patriarchal family relations." Utah is greatly excited about the bill, and its passage by the Senate In its present shape, it is predicted, will cause the desolation of that Territory. PHIVATE advises from Cheyenne are to the effect that Governor Campbell disapproves of the starting of any expeditious to •explore the lands reserved by the Government for the use of the Indians, as opposed to the Indian policy of the administration, and a violation of our obligations. It is now stated that the Big Born expedition does not design to encroach on the Indian lands. This subject is exciting interest in the West, and it. is thought the in fluence of Governor- Campbell and General Augur will be sufficient to keep the leaders of the expedition within bounds. • 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. • C. L. BAKER, Brevet Colonel U. S. A., Major 2d Cavalry Pennsylvania Legislature. The Pennsylvania Senate was not in session during yesterday. A ~, The House of Representatives met in the evening. Mr. Elliott asked leave to 'introduce a bill repealing the law for the better collection of delinquent taxes; passed last week. , lie said that, there was some mystery about the passage of the original bill, and that it would take a large amount of money from the City, Treasury.
