Yerterday Jay Gould and James Fiak, Jin, p iTeared before the House Committee: on Banking and Currency and gave full evideiK-e in the mat ter of the faraoua September gold panic In New York) Each witness -waa before the committee for several hours, but testified in the mair. to con details, of Which the following is a re sume : The committee asked the witneese to go ahead in their own way, and giv their version of the cause t hat led to the panic, and as to whether any Government officials were engaged in the speculation, Ac. They then commenced by stating that they were, manager and interest ed parties in the Erie railroad a forjroraiion that ought to earn sixteen ear seventeen millions a year, and which waa one of the principal trunk lines in moving the western crops to tbe caMaro market. When gold was high, ate i a, 1867, and 1808, the price of the crop vrar, alao high, and naturally enough moved rapidly to market. Last spring they saw that gold was can tlie define, and looked forward to see whau would be the result, if it continued to go down, aa moving the.cropa in the fitlt, s they weie keroelv intereated to know what kind of a buai SE their road would do when that time came aronnrl. They mad op their nrfnd that the price B gold wwfjM be go-rerrted a good deal by he financial policy of the Administration ; anrt to ascertain tbe latter Mr. JayGcaild flm direct ed his ttlrnttaa They, tbercfaee, eomnsnced operations oa tbr l.rlh of Jmie, 18C9. when President Grant wa on board tbe Sound sieam er of Fiak A Gesild, on hi way to th Boston Jubilee.

This was all that took paae iho,a4 the President aaa-arsjayajajaaajaj was not aoundrd again until be appeared at Long Branch, in July, when he did not seem to eare to talk further 'cn the subject. In the mean lime Mr. Gould had become acquainted with the President' brother-in-law, Mr. Abel K. Corbin, and they fro'i-iently talked over the ctteot of tbe decline of gold on the tnuunesa of the conmry, and both agreed that no man was then makiw-c a dollar inleghinmte trade, and that it aroulu grow wnrae as gold declined, Corbin believe ! with Gould that if this theory were correctly represented to the President and Secretary Bout well It might induce a change. Accordingly Mr. Gould wrote to Mr. Boutwell, and receiver! a re ply which did not indicate what the Gorero incnt wraild do in financial matters. This waa the last of July, and Grant waa Mien on his way to Newport on board of Fbk A Co, steamer. Could wrote a letter to the President stating that he had btforniation that three hundred ves sel were then on the way to Liverpool, from Mediterranean porta, ecjrared to move the crop.. in Europe, tiol.l waa then :i 1 ami .J in Stir York; and in Mending this letter to the Preai dent by Mr. Eik, liould requeted tlie latter to aay to Grant that if th Government would de cide not to sell gold the price could be putuuin tha market, the crop could b moved by rail to New York, and thence by . water to European markets, and thai business would thrive again. Fisk aaya he had a long conversation with Grant to thia effect, and the result was that the Presi dent wrote to Boutwall : but h learned snbee uueiitlv that the latter had made marie no reply. The witnesses then detailed how, through Cor inflnenee, (General BnttertVrld waa- made assist ant treasurer at New York. It was first intend ed to make Catherwood iCorbin's aon-in-law) the assistant treasurer, but it waa opposed on tbe ground of relationship, and Bittterneld was put in. This appointment confirmed to Gould Cor bin'a influence with Grant, and they both talker! over frequently the financial situation. C'orlun said gold ought to be higher, and be believed it could be put up and money road out of the transaction. Having gut Butterneld in th pro par office, Corbin said he had conceived the idea of controlling the Government on theg"ld ques tion. Gould says that Corbin commenced at once to interview Grant, and that he (Gordd) af terward interviewed Corbin. The latter repor ted that he could regiriat Grant, and On theae assurance the first tranaaetion - made. Gould tavtifie that he bo-ight two million and a half of gold at S7. Haifa million waa for Mm. Grant, half a million for (reneral Porter, private secretary to the President, and the rest wa divided between Corbin and Gourd. Fisk testifies that Corbin told bim that Mra. Grant's gold had been sold out, and netted a profit of S35,0U0, which had been remitted to her at Waid.ington. Th! wa in tbe beginning of Sep tember, and it appears from the evidence tliat Fisk did not step into the speculation until then, when Gould introduced him to Corbin by letter, which-wa followed by a three-horn' itiw. Corbin. said on this occasion to Fisk that every thing waa fixed ; that tbe understanding with Crept wa perfect j that no sold was to be sold by tiie Government, aud that no uneaarucn need bo felt, and that Fisk could go on and buy. Th latter says be was inclined to doubt Corbin's rttaieinawl at grt,-btlt Atn wa so srigfttieit in hi detnils and punitive of the results that lie finally belied all besaid. Cotbtn rtjfclWB i "I am right behind the throne, tllveyoumelfnonnealness.'' Aoiit ptember Corbin applied to Fisk and I lould for a trustworthy, confidential man to taU- a letter in great haste to the Iresidt nt, who wzx then at Washington, Pfnn., and to tel egraph instantly back hat the President said.

The afitrnoon of that Thursday Uiey went into Wall street and commenced to buy old. When they commenced; gold was 36. and before dark it was 41. Fisk gives here an account of the dinner given, b? members of tire Union League to Secretary Boutwell in New York on thutycry aftsrnobo, at which the hE-nr-. failed to get any finaftdal. information, which caused a split in the ir ' ranks, and comi'ellcd them to eommenee to cover thdr 'short," there by adding to the general influence lh.it was sen ding gold rij ward. This war incidentally, he adds, a part of tiie coultnation.

On. Albert Speyer, sho has been exam ind, waa Beblea'a breher. iMptyer was at once sent to the gold room to buy, and found gold had risen to 4' lie filled hi.- orders ami came back, and sold he believed he vouid "buy some on liis own hook' Fisk ay he told him that tlie thing aa beginning to look scarce, and if he wanted some of it the quickel he got some of it trie letter ! (There wa great laughter in the committee room r the manner in which the witnevm related this.) When Speyer got back to tb gold room he found great enci lenient, and participating ia it himr.-lf. he bonght all the aay to 10, betag.ono of those kimf.w'mcn, said Fisk, that he balicved ii gold rose to 1C0 in three minute that it would go to 300 in an hour.

Mr. Justice said he Introduced the resolution from the purest motive. It was wall known that the act a it appears published in tb Pub lic Laws of 1868 89, was not such a law a thia House intended to paas, Ac. He was authorised to aay that the State print ing could be done for much lass and the binding done for just one half of what the present State Printer now charges the State.
