OUR
NEW YORK LETTER-
day
[From Our Special Correspondent.]
New York, Oct. 7, 1865.
Amongst ihe most prominent topics of the
this vast and populous city, tlie ad-
lumistralion of the law forms a leading feature,
and giving that question order of precedence,
1 will justtibserve that the courts for the ad
ministration of the law, are^open and ably
administered by the presiding judges. The
number of eases of every class and degree,
,T,il and criminal, is perhaps commensurate
with the vast extent of territory and the enor
mous population by which the State and City
()f Sew York are distinguished, and yet the
c j v j| , a ses appear to me few in comparison,
whilst the criminal calender presents a griev
ous array of crime. On (lie civil side there are
not many cases of such magnitude as to attract
facial attention, the great number being of
which occur in social and commercial
life all over (he world, but there is one case
which commands special reference, because it
involves revelations of domestic and conjugal
life. The circumstances attending this inquiry,
mill Ilie evidence, present such a case for sum-
marv jurisdiction that the learned functionary
wlm tries it might dispose of it by recommend
ing the twelve honest jurors to give a verdict
mstauter for either, in the eveat of which,
neither litigant could be otherwise than pleased.
The plaintiff and defendant are maa and wife,
anil each seek for a divorce and pursue the snit
with all (he headlong pertinacity of first love.
How c ruel, for a jury to disappoint the aspira
tions of an interesting woman who desires "to
he rid of the presence of a nasty man, and then
how is the verdict of a jury to compensate a
tuan for the loss or gain he will sustain by a
»separation <[<- f'uriti from a woman whom he
alleges in iiis plea was lavish of her favors
on two gay Lotharios, and suspected of infi
delity with many more. In detail, the par
bculan, of the investigation could not prove
cf much interest, and the result may be summed
up thus: %
Supreme Court—Harris vs. Harris.
This case was heard on motion for the plain
tiff for a divorce, and the defence entered was
a prayer that the defendant might proceed on a
-miliar motion praying for a divorce, so that
the parties came into court as plaintiff and
defendant, reciprocally. What Judge and
whet jury could refuse them ?
The parties in the action above referred to
were wealthy, and figured in fashionable life,
gloved in the best society, and the mttle com
plainant having amassed wealth by the sale of
a medicine called the “Pain-Killerwas
Mayor of the town in which he lived, and a
Senator of the United States. Well, and so
lie might, and be very excellent in all those
relation', and yet bo very unfortunate in other
as-ociations of life. The case wag continued
in the Connecticut Supreme Court, at New
London, and the evidence being taken at
length of Miss Jennie Harris, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Harris, the litigants; Mrs. Teresa
t ook, niece of Mrs. Harris, and Mr. Samuel
C. Thompson, President of the First National
Hank of this city, who was at one time en
gaged to be married to Miss Harris. The tes
timony of all three, even that of the daugh
ter, makes statements of very imprudent con
duct, to say the least, on the part of Mrs.
Harris, in the company of different gentlemen.
Major Williams, of the army, and a Mr. Geo.
V. Uieketson figured conspicuously as men
with whom Mrs. Harris, as alleged, had been
weojingiy intimate in this city, at Newport,
and at other places. Miss Jennie Harris, in
giving her evidence so strongly against her
Bother, and describing the difficulties between
father and mother, was deeply affected.
The, Criminal Court.
The Court of Sessions for the trial of per-
v ns charged with all the crimes known to the
law, from murder down to picking pockets,
seems to have ample business on hand; and
the District Attorney, as prosecutor on the
I an of the State, with a laudable desire to
avoid the empanelling of jury after jury, and
thereby saving a vast amount of public time,
^commended the well-known proficients in
•he art of picking pockets to make a clean
Meast of it and plead guilty to the crime laid
to their charge, adding the precaution that if |
l i"7 did not plead guilty separately or in a
hatch, as soon as the jury would return a ver
dict of conviction the utmost rigor would be
applied, whilst those who should plead guilty
Bight expect a year or a year and a halFs re
mission of the sentence which, if convicted,
'hey might be sure to undergo,
v Many of the accused accepted the invitation
°f the learned gentleman, and were dealt by
accordingly.
Municipal Affairs of New York.
lor some days past W. Fenton, Governor of
v York state, has been holding an inquiry
in the City Hall in reference to some charges
al eged against officers in the civic department
touching the outlay of the public money in va-
nous departments of city outlay, and more es
pecially with regard to the contracts hitherto
and lately entered into for the cleansing and
leavengmg 0 f the streets. After some pain«
and trouble, and loss of time and the exami
nation of witnesses, with now and again a
slender ingredient of personal confliet, suc
ceeded by apology, and then—and what then ?
Why, a repetition of the same scene, until, by
repetition, the thing became nauseous, and the
Governor’s iuquiry is likely to end in nothing,
as it appears the charges are not proved. The
case is stiff at hearing.
Generals Slocum and Grant.
Those two horoes, Generate Slocum and Grant,
are prosecuting each a tour of his own choice
amidst the plaudits and admirations of thousands
along their courses. Slooum was at Syracuse, in
New York, and Grant at Pittsburg, Pa., and in
each place an ovation was colibrated to the Jal* *
lant and illflstrious guest. At Syracuse, General
Slocum profossed his entire belief in, and undi
vided adherence to the policy of President John
son, and in a speech, remarkable for considerable
ability and statesman like views, enlarged on the
subject of State affairs in reference to the Freed
man, and the relations and obligations in which
they stand to the people of the United States ;
and the duties of those people in their regard.
In the New York political campaign thero was
an Tmnonse Democratic meeting in Albany. Gen -
Slooum and John Van Bursn attended amidst
thunders of applause. Mr. Van Buren, the Gen
eral, and o her speakers, professed entire adhe.
rence to the policy of President JohnsoD, and
came cut unreservedly in the declaration of their
political creed.
The Monetary World.
In the Stoek and Share market, and indeed in
every artery of - public securities, the general
state is buoyant and fluctuating. The National
Currency Bank of New York has declared a divi
dend of 15 per cent, to the shareholders, carrying
over 10 per corn, to the surplus fund; and the
American National Bank declared a dividend of
8 per cent, per annum. On Wednesday the
price of Gold advanced to 146 7-8, and was
buoyant at that quotation. Thursday the rate
touched 147, and vibrated between that and a
fraction lower yesterday.
English Capital.
A project was'lately set on foot and speedily
reduced to a reality, of investing £800,000 of
English money in the Erie Railway scheme.—
This money is to be invested at 6 per cent, inter
est, and the bonds are in the market to be had for
£70, or thereabouts, redeemable at par in twen*
ty years, according to the temper or penetra
tion of the investor, or to bo converted into the
general stock of the company, according to tho
op’ion of the proprietor. For, so far, the projeot,
according to European and American reports, is
a complete success. The London Money market
was inactive according to the quotations received
this week. CodsoIs, 89 l-2aS9 5 8.
The public securities jo general throughout the
United States are buoyant in the market. These
embrace the great trunk railr ad lines, of which
1 perceive the New York Central,,the Erie, the
Miohican S, and several.others—all of which are
quoted as advancing in value, and in demand at
the advance.
The Church.
By the latest advices from other quarters in
which divisions werg rampant amongst the
Episcopacy and clergy, North and South, it is
perceptible that in Pennsylvania the Conven
tion of the conflicting elements met in brotherly
love, and declared that their kingdom was not
of this world, that no matter what form of
government their lot should be cast to exist
under, whether regal, despotic, arbitrary, re
public or otherwise, their duty was and would
be to live on irrespective of the powers that be,
There is, therefore, a healing balm to the di
visions and distraciions which precipitated the
Episcopacy and Clergy in hostile array daring
the commotions of the late war.
Our Hebrew Brethren.
On Wednesday evening last the Hebrews
of New York celebrated one of their annual
festivals, which in its meaning and significance,
represented the Israelites whilst in Egyptian
captivity assembled in their roofless tents, giv
ing thanks to God for the food with which His.
all bounteous hand had snpplied them ; so in
the celebration of this lime-honored rite of
harvest home, the Jews of New York assembled
in their Synagogues and houses of public re
sort, and from thence to their tent or hut under
the azure canopy of heaven, ^spangled with
myriads of millions of stars in the firmament
afiove tbera, the descendants of those who
wept by the side of the rivers of Babylon,
prayed and sang hallelujahs to the Lord for the
blessings of the harvest. This, I believe, is
the nearest assimilation and explanation which
can be given, by any one except an Israelite, of
the interesting ceremonies to which I refer.
Foreign Visitors.
The United States, at some one or other point
of the compass, is never without visitors of
distinction'from various quarters of the uni
verse, but as New York is the nearest point of
approach from the old world, it is natural that
the arrivals of foreigners should be hailed and
recorded in this water-bound island teeming
os it is, and almost bursting with an overflow
ing profusion of human life. On Wednesday
last the mail steamer Persia, from Liverpool,
conveyed to and disembarked on American
ground, four gentlemen, Ambassadors from
the Bey of Tunis to the American presffienf,
and to the widow qf the late President, con
veying to the former assurances of congratu
lation and friendship, and to the latter, iq her
lonely grief and bereavement, the sympathy of
the illustrious Eastern Sovereign and his peo
ple, and their united condolence with her in her
loss. Those illustrious strangers were courte
ously and hospitably received hy gentlemen in
high ami official stations in this city, and as
they proceeded through some of the great
thoroughfares, attired in their national cos
tume, semi-Moslem—Assyrian grandeu^, they
were objects of curiosity and admiration to all
who were aware of their presence, and where
Datives of all tho world are from time to time
to be seen without exciting a passing emotion
of curiosity or wonder. Those illustrious visi
tors stopped at the Astor House, and on yes
terday proceeded to Washington on their mis
sion to President Johnson aud Mrs. Lincoln.
Produce Markets.
In making a brief reference for the present
to the produce market!, I wonder if you grow |
wheat or convert it into flour in your Elysian ;
savannas? Whether or not, you must Rave j
bread, no matter where the wheat grows or i
who grinds it, and therefore I conclude that ^
notice of the prices at sriiich flour is sold in i
New York may be of sWne interest to you and ,
your readers. I select only the highest figures
for the primest qualities—the gradations in
price descend according to value: The quota
tions are, for Western trade hrands, common
southern and extra fancy—those being the
choicest marks on the market—t$j9,50 to 12.25,
10.80 and 10.90 to 15.00, and upwards—but
very fine marks were to be had for 7.90 to-8.30.
In the raw material wheat was reported" In ac
tive request at a trifling advance in value.
Cotton.
It is pleasant to write in cheerful terms on
this absorbing'question, not ODly to the South
ern and Northern States of this great Republic,
but to every homestead of whatsoever rank in
Western Europe. The demand for the raw
material is very active, and the advices from
Europe caused a speedy sale in one day of 10,-
000 bales at advanced rates, and holders are
looking for higher figures. The rates at the
beam on Wednesday were according to grade:
Ordinary Upland, 38, 48, 52; Florida, 39, 49,
53 ; Mobile, 40, 50, 54 ; N. O. and T., 40,54,
with slender fluctuations, tending upwards.—
There is considerable buoyancy still in the
market, and the gales active. The receipts
have been 4,000 bales per day, or 18,500 since
the 1st instant, middling qualities bringing
49 and 50c. per lb. The receipts since the 1st
of M-Jptember were 129,500 bales, and the ex
ports in September, 25,300 bales.
Savannah.
In reply to a letter or remonstrance qf mer-.
chants in yonr city on the subject of taxes i.nd
revenue duties, Mr Sargent, an officer in that
department, after denying the accuracy of their
premises and the data on which they found a
complaint of their grievance, says : The ut
most the officer can receive is $6,400 a year ;
any surplus above that amount goes to the
Treasury.
France and Italy—The Pojie.
The mysterious communications and inter
views which have lately been passing between
the Emperor Louis Napoleon and King Victor
Emanuel are supposed to be the forerunners
of the recognition of the kingdom of Italy by
Austria, the settlement of the Roman difficul
ty, and the shearing of the Pope ef his tem
poral power.
The Fenian Brotherhood.
The organization instituted under the name of
the Fenian Brotherhood, which a few months ago
was very little heard of, has of laic assumed an
aspect of serious magnitude. This confraternity
has extended its ramifications throughout the
Unite 1 States and Australia, whilst in Europe it
would appear that its proportions have pervaded
every distriot, county, ci^y and town in Great
Britain and Ireland. Every village, hamlet and
field in Ireland teems with the fraternal coded"
eraoy. The supposed object of this wido spread
organization is the separation ol Ireland from
the thraldom of British misrule and oppression,
and wlether the object can bo accomplished or
not it is manifest that England and English states
men are in dread and fear of a rcvoluiitn in
Irolaod, with the co-eporation and active assis
tance of France, but above all by the Irish in
America and in Canada. England has resorted
to the old game of proclamations aqff arrests, and
suppression of newspaper property and confisca*
tion thereof; and to give the English Government
to understand that the principal men in America
embarked in the cause are watching events and
preparing for the future, a meeting of the ohief
men of the Brotheihoo in Now York, was held
on Thursday in the Astor House, with closed
doors, guarded hy sentinels in arms, and remain
ed closed there for several hours. A special Con
gress of the entire organization in America is to
beheld in Philadelphia on the 16th of October
instant. Sumeareof opioion that Canada, Mex
ico and Ireland, are speculated on as to become
the future sisters in the Republic of America.
P. S.—12 o’clock. In order to carry down the
current events to the latest moment, I forward
this postscript, embracing every item of interest
extant. Some of tho morning papers contain
news from your State, dated Washington, Sep
tember 25th, in which the writer commences a
long narrative with the startling heading: “Hard
Times among the \\ bite Aristocracy and Negro
Proletarians Alike—Ladies in the lvitcheo—
Went, Filth and Licentiousness among the Ne
groes—Secret Negro Societies, Ac., Ac., and then
proceeds over a space of three columns to give a
descriptive narrative of the occurrences which
the writer describes, such as: “A Relic of De
parted Days—Hard Times—A Nation of Paupers
—The .Want of Shelter—Apprehensions—Logic
of the Situation—Running out the Cotton—Ne
gro Character—Value of Negro Labor—Pay
to-day, Play to-morrow—Negro Theology—
Preaching and Practicing—The Schools”—and
other items in which it would appear that the
social state iD that district is not the most feli
citous.
The Episcopalian Convention.
By the latest news from Philadelphia it is an
nounced that the Convention is proceeding most
harmoniously, and that resolutions of invitation
and wolpome to tho Southern members of -ihe
Episcopal Churches were passed with acclama
tion. ffhe Bishops of Texas and North Carolina
have seat in their adhesion to the re-anion, which
was cordially accepted. Everything goes on har-
moniopsly in the Episcopal Convention.
The Great Campaign Movement.
A connected and, it must be presumed, an au
thorized version of Mr. VanBuren’a speech at
Albany,has appeared in the World of this da/, in
which, by way of introduoticn.it is said that it is a
* masterly jriew of the reconstruction question—
The Radicate roasted—President Johnson warm
ly complimented—living issues portrayed, and
telliug personal and political bits enunciated.”—
The discourse extends over six columns of the
World this day.
Democratic Republicanism.
A meeting of the General Committee of Dem
ocratic Republicans was held in the Tammany
Hall, at which a resolution was adopted request,
iug thoso friendly to the views of the committee
in the county and city of New York, to attend
the Primsrv elections of delegates to the Judi-
ci 1 Convention, to nominate candidates for the
offices of justices of the Supreme Court, two jus
tices of the Superior Court, a judge of tho Court
of Common Pteas, and two justices of the Marine
Court, and ihe election of delegates to a county
convention, to nominate candidates for Senatorial
Conventions for the- county and city of New
York.
Monetary Affairs.
The active buoyancy in the money market,
above referred to, still prevails. Gold advanced
yesterday from previous % quotaiions to 149, but
became reduced again to 14b 1-2. Those fluctu*
aliens notwithstanding, the market is extremely
active and business this day, it is expected, wiil
be in about tho same temper. There is, it is said-
large quantities of Government gold in the mar.
ket, and henoo the nervous buoyancy aDd fluctu
ations in valu^k On ednosday and Thursday
many persons purchased Government gold at 146
l-2al47, and sold yesterday at 149, thereby real
izing a handsome per centage. The market to
day so far is feverish.
Cotton.
Yesterday there was a large number of ship
pers and speculators in cotton, from which the
market was unusually active. In tho course of a,
few hours 14,000 bales changed hands at some
thing about the figures previously quoted, namely:
Ordinary Middling and Good Upland, 40, 50, 53;
Florida, 40,51, 53; Mobile, 41, 51, 54; New Or

Removal of Union Stead,
THE CASE OF DICK TURNER
FOLIThAL INTELLIGENCE.
General Howard at Petersburg.
Major General O. O. Howard, Chief of the
Frcedmen’s Bureau, accompanied by one or
more of his Staff, arrived in Petersburg, says
the Express of Friday, on business connected
with the Department over which he presides.
He was the guest of Major General Gibbon.
At bis instance a number of our influential
citizens—mostly members of the Common
Council—called upon him at headquarters last
evening,- and were introduced by General Gib
bon.
General Howard stated that it was his desire
to meet with gentlemen in person, because he
could better make them comprehend his ideas
and suggestions in conversation than by of
ficial orders, lie had to suggest for the benefit
of the community at large, aud the freedmen
themselves, that a different system of adjudg
ing their difficulties and settling their disputes
be instituted from that now in existence.
This could be accomplished by the appoint
ment of a Board of three gentlemen—one to
represent the Government, another ;o represent
the interest of the whites, and the third to rep
resent the interests of the freedmen themselves.
The first should be appointed by the authori
ties,’the second by the people of the city or their
representatives in the Council, and the third
be recommended or suggested by the negroes.
In this manner the interests of all concerned
would receive due respect and attention. This
Board would have the power to settle all dis
putes in which the negro is concerned, and try
all cases of a criminal nature, except where
fines of more than $100 are imposed, or im
prisonment of more than thirty days would be
adjudged. The only compensation receivable
by the Board at present, unless the members
were paid by the city, would be the fines im
posed.
General Howard explained this scheme
much more fully and at much greater length
than we have given it above. The Govern
ment, be said, was disposed to act in the
largest spirit of liberality, and to do every
thing in its power for every class of persons
living under its laws. The plan had been
tested elsewhere, and was found to work with
the finest effect.
Hon. Charles F. Collier, on the part of the
delegations of citizens, responded in a few re
marks, pledging their hearty co-operatiou in
the*lan proposed.
The meeting was a very agreeable ono, and
everything passed off mo.-t pleasantly.
The matter will, we presume, he brought to
the attention of the next Council, when that
body will probably take such action as is called
for cn its part.
Removal of the
On the first of October will expire, by limi
tation, tbe order of the Government authori
ties prohibiting the disinterment and removal
North of the bodies of tho Union soldiers who
are buried on the battle-fields and in tbe cem
eteries within this Military Department- Some
thousands are buried in Oakwood Cemetery,
and elsewhere in tbe vicinity of Rtchmond,
and tlic disinfecting process which will be ne
cessary in many cases will give employment to
a large number of surgeons engaged in that
business. Several have already opened estab
lishments here for that purpose. The order
forbidding the removal of the dead during the
summer and early autumn was issued for good
reasons. •
In those instances where tbe graves are
marked, as was customary with those who died
in Richmond, there will he no difficulty in re
cognizing the dead by friends ; but where no
such designation exists, recognition of graves
will be impossible, of course.
A permit will be necessary in ail cases when
a body is to be removed. An agency has been
established in Washington, D. C-, for the fur
nishing of information, &c., and issuing of per
mits.
Political.
The Winchester News says that for the ben
efit of those blessed with short memories we
publish a few facts gleaned from old records.—
There may be no doubt of Mr. Robert Y. Con
rad’s loyalty, now that the rebellion is past re-
snscitatian, but in May, 1861, he declared that
“any overtures for reconciliation must come
from those who have declared war against us;
and the first indispensable article of agreement
most be the unconditional acknowledgment of
the independence of these Confederate .States.”
Charles W. Butts, one of the Union candi
dates ^in tbe Norfolk District, has declined
“from a disinclination to divide the Union
vote.”
A writer asks in the Lexington Gazette :
Who can vote for men who never gave a
meal or lodging to a soldier, who never contri
buted a drop of blood or a cent of treasure,
who stood coldly by and witnessed our dying
struggle for liberty without giving even their
sympathy. Can such-men have auy love of
country, or ask that country to reward them ?
selfishness uloqe prompts therq to ask office.
C- C. Baldwin, a candidate for the Legisla
ture in the Lexington District, declines, hav
ing been “disfranchised and dishonored by the
Alexandria Constitution, having since the 1st
of January, 1864, not only voluntarily, but
most heartily, contributed something to the
comfort of oar noble soldiers, whom, I then
thought, and still conscientiously think, wero
fighting for the just and righteous cause of
freedom and country.”
The Alexandria Gazette says it is rumored that
Edward Spillman bas been appointed Judge of
that circuit, vice James Marshall, resigned.
Dick Turner.
Jlsrmadu’ke Johnson, Esq., was on Friday per
mitted by Gen. Turner to visit Richard Turner,
now awaiting in the penitentiary his trial on a
charge of mistreating Federal prisoners of war,
but when or before what tribunal he will appear
is not known. -Mr. Johnson will defend Mr. Tur
ner and has the most sanguine hopes of beiDg
able to disprove the caarges against his client.—
Bulletin.
The City Government.
[From the Richmond Times of Saturday.]
Application has been made to General Turne r
to permit tbe city government to organize by th e
qua'ifying of the City Council and Hasting 3
Court, and lie will give his final answer in tb e
premires this morning at 10 o’clock. This appli
cation was made to tbe military authorities in
view ot the fact that unless the citv government
was organized before ihe 12th ot October next,
the day of the general election, the city of Rich
mond must losr her representation, both in Con
gress aud in the iila e Legislature. There are
other inconveniences arising out of our peculiar
condition, but this is regarded as the most se
rious.
Loudon County Affuirs.
The Leesburg Mirror says : *
The soldiers that had been stationed in Lees-
bu A. for several weeks, left on Thursday last lor
Warrenton. During their sojourn bertMbey de
meaned tbemrelves with marked propriety, but it
is pleasant to leel that we are once more a civil
community, alone amenable to civil jurisdiotion.
LoDg may it continue.
Miscellaneous.
J. G. Conner, formerly of Baltimore, bas been
committed to jail in Richmond on the charge of
swindling.
Mrs. Ould, who lately shot her lover in Rich
mond, bas been released on bail.
Three Ladies’ Associations hare been formed in
Petersburg and Richmond for the benefit of tbe

New.York Money Market.
New York, Oct. 6. p. m.
The gold market lias been active and excited.
It opened strong at 147% and rose rapidly to 149,
when the Sub-Treasury oeguu selling some of its
surplus. The tide instantly turned under a gene
ral rush to sell, aud tbe price fell from tbe h gh-
est price touched to 146% within an hour. 'It
subsequently reacted to 147%, but relapsed to
144%, at which it closed. Tse sudden rise was
in part attributable to speculation based upon the
heavy demand lor customs djties, and the pros-
S ect of legitimate causes carrying the premium
igher.
The money market was active at 6a7 per cent,
and several of the banks notified their customers
that they had advanced the rate for loans at call
to seven per cent. This gave courage to the
bears on ihe Stock Exchange, aud caused many
of the bulls to realize.
Foreign exchange was dull affo9%a% for
bankers’ sterling at sixty days. The leading
drawers a»k 1-S more. The exports on bread-
stuffs and cotton are likely to become lighter.
In the former there is no inducement to ship
anything but Indian corn and oats. The stock
ot winter wheat haying fallen about forty mil
lions of bushels below the average crop it is very
scarce, and rose about 12c per bushel to-day.
Tnere is even talk on :he Corn Exchange of im
porting from Liverpool some < f the latter which
was export-d tr«m ill's side; but this is hardly
likely. Tne further rise to-day id all kiuds of
breadstuff*, provisions and coitun tends to dis
courage exports, aud indirectly to advance the
gold premium, the tatter being both a cause and
