HOW CORBIN WAS MANIPULATED
AND USED HIS RELATIONS WITH
THE PRESIDENT THE PARK FR1
DAY RICH 1 K V K l.o I'M EN 'i Ac.
l WUr0W, Janaary 2B. lfi"0.
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. The President attended a dinaer at
which seven others we preaemt. L the 8
... .it,.,, ,rna.! mm finances, and it appear-
"to our aatonisnmeni iruu eirani
in
and

at 6nc proweedad to the Presi

. . . . lit-,-,
crori. To tnia tne riitwuawi Mnmii .",
.,iin a naiwht aa weB Prick th
now for it ha got to be daaeaorne time." 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.

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

done for just one half of what the present State
Printer now charges the State.
He regarded Uie act referred to as violating
the constitution by creating a monopoly Ac
II could not as an honest man and a Repub

Ac.
Mr. Smith, of Martin, withdrew his motion to

Harris, of Wake, col., offered substitute raisin-
a special committee of three, consisting of
Messrs. Justice, Ames and Areo, to investigate
iuiy aliened mismanagement ofthe affairs of the
oiiice.
Mr. Downing opposed the resolution and
charged that the introducer of it was actuated
by motives of personal boftiiity, Ac
' Mr. Justice dei i led tlie charge, saying that be
cause he had the nerve and manliness to protest
against the continuance of this swindle upon
the people, the- Standsnl, assisted by its pets in
this House, was endeavoring to frown him down.
He was actuated by no personal motive, but
Litllefield was charged all over this State (and
out of it loo) with Ix-iroz a corrupt man, and
guilty of Moendoir fraud", '-nd instead of meet-ii.-
those charges like an honest man, (if he is
one,) boldh- confrotifing hi ecnefand daring
them to lue proof, he abscond and shirks all
investigation. ' w
The records of the Court would show that ho
gave a fictitious note for illegal purriosc. If
the Republican party expected to live and thrive
in this Slate they would lutve to throw over
lourd dishonest leaders and show they intended
to act honestly by ihe peopjo. If the Republi
can patv required him to stifle his own convic
tions tf 'right and wrong, and endeavored to
apply the party lar.h when an honest man re
f it -el to support a dishonest measure to suit tbe
dishonest purpose of few dishonest men, then
he wished to tee the party die and would help
to kill it, etc. He enncfoded by charging that
there had been serious frauds perpetrated in tb
public ition of the law.
After some further debate the substitute offer
ed by Harris of Wake, col., wa put to a vot
ami rejected by vote of yeas 34, nays 60.
