Feeling assured of this, $2,500,000 of gold were bought $500,000 for Porter, Secre tary to the President. The rest was divided between Corbin and Jav Gould, for, up to this time, Pisk had hot bought any gold. i Gould at this stage mxroaucea Fisk to Corbin, and uorDin saia tnat mrs. Grant's gold had been sold and the profit 825.000 had been remitted to her at VVashingtori. Corbin explained to JisK an his arrangements with Gould, and said that he (Corbin) was behind the throne j that he, could regulate Grant ; that the Government would not sell cold : that Mrs. Grant's letter to Mrs. Corbin said so, and that there was to be no uneasiness, etc. Fisk iavs that at first he was not disposed to' believe Corbin, but the latter's points were so positive that ho placed lull faith in him. To make assurance doubly sure; before more purchases were made, Corbin said he wrote to Grant, '..who was then (Septcriabcr 15th) at Washing- ton, if ennsyivania, ana seni me ieuer Fisk's confidential man. Thevinessenger, Chapin by! name, reached Washington, near Pittsblirer. at 7 A.

Fisk and Gjuld then . commenced to buy gold, and it rose from 137 to 141, and opened' at -141 on the dark, Friday. A broker, named William Belden, asked to participate h the transaction, and gave Fiek power to buy gold for him. One Albert Snevers was Belden's broker in these purchases. Gold rose to 143, and Speyers theji jumped in for himself and bought till Jit rose to 160, believing that it would go higher. Then came' the order of the Government to sell'four millions, which immediately smashed down the market ; and that, said Fisk, is the story of the combination.
