Tlie collnpse of the firm of Grant & Want nfferds a great deal of feed ter talk and thought, because of the light It throws upon the business meth ods of the metropolis, upon the way its fortune? nre made and lest, and upon the plunging career of the Grant family, which came near te being our royal family. The general and his three stalwart B)iis seem te have been in financial .clever sin co he retired from the presi dency; the assignment made by the sons, who raugu In age from thirty live te twenty seven, Indicate that eacli had possession of hundreds of thou sand of dollars. The eldest was a colonel In the nrmy, get married, and resigned that fat olllce for fatter pursuits. The second married a rich man's daughter. The third picked up four hundred thousand dollars with speed and ease. Tha general, enjoying the Income of the two hundred and fifty i.,..-,n.i nnntrU.iite.i . i.i. rini, frinn.ia thousand contributed by his rich friends for his endowment, was us fortunate as his sons in Ills speculations, and amassed wealth. The family seems te have re clined upon Mr. Ferdinand Ward, a young man who had lu a few years achieved a large fortune and the reputation of a skillful financier, Mr, "Ward lias succeeded in wrecking the fortunes of the family and himself; which shew3 that their trust in him was net merited ; and the plain lessen te be deduced is that it is net prudent te trust anyone ehe te make your money for you or lese it. The general and his sons were t50 confiding. Tneir partner turned out tj be a scamp, and while all the fortunes of the family are swept away, their cred iters deubtles3 will still suffer. The result is net creditable te the business sagacity of Ganer.il Grant and his sons, tumuli no imputation is made upon their own business honor. Ner are the business methods of New Yerk financiers generally much com mended by these developments. The Marine bank failed because its president allowed an imnien overdraft te lie made upon it by Ward, under the premise te deposit security te protect it. Frem which it appears that New Yerk banks will accept premises in lieu of perform ances, just in any c muling country i bumpkin might de. ' It also appears that Mr. Ward, having a deposit lu one batik of $1,200, drew a check for S21o,00e against it, for which lie get credit in the Marine bank, and that bank get credit for it in the clearing house without leave or license from the bank upon which it was drawn and against whose balance in the clearing house it was coolly charged ; such calm robbery as that would net be submitted teby the stupidest bumpkin the country ever grew. The idea of a bank being com pelled te pay a check of a depositor who has net funds te meet it, is something eutirely novel, and we would venture te siy even ridiculous, were it net that the tiing is actually done in the a33iimed c ntre of lliiauciul light and intelligence. Anether striking tiling in New Yerk financiering disco veied in these proceed ings is that owners of valuable securi ties deppfcit them confidingly with money lenders, without brcurity that they will ever Fee them again, it appears that it i3 the habit of meuey lenders in N-nv Yeik, as elsewhere, te require security as collateral for their leaus. In this case Mr. Vanderhilt, president of a rail road, borrowed $7i)0,(i00 from Gratit and Ward aud gave them twice that sum in second mortgage bends of his read as security j whereupon Ward used the bends te borrow a larger sum than the amount he had leaned It would seem that there is a great deal of con fiding curiously mixed with a great deal of doubting in New Yerk financiering, nnd plenty of room for the confidence man te flourish. Kail llloed. As the time ter determining Mr. Blaine's fate approaches the disposition of his friends te put it te the test " te win or lese it all" is intensiiled. Mr. Whltehiw Keid's Tribune in-ists that it must be either Maine or" Arthur and is far mere viudictive against Edmunds or Lincoln, who, it knows, would crucify Maine, than it is against the presidents own renomlnatien. It wants no Aitliur nor Maine "dummy" ; but its reasons for this policy are ebvi eu9, for it well knows that Arthur can transfer his btrengtli te another with facility, wliile Maine cannot. The bitterness of the anti Maine fac tion Increases tee. Jlurpa-'a WctUy turns up its eyebrows mostjsuperciliein Jy and asks its party if It can " wisely venture upon a campaign which would inevltably turn upon the question whether its presidential candidate made his elllclal notion serve his personal ud ud vantnse V" The Evinimj VW, with a bitterness of scandalous Insinuation, deeper and darker than any overt charge, declares that what has appeared about Maine se far, ia only an ' instalment of what will be rorthceinlug if the ehances of his nomination are imminent ; " there are facta te ceme which nobody, net even his friend Mr. Phelps, will at tempt te explain or deny." The Evening Journal, of Albany, with a most dam ning and damaging pretense te defend him, says that " when the poisoned pen or Mr. Blaine's detractors undertakes te outllue a wretched story of his youthful days that does net in the least concern his public career, and that cannot, even were its truth established, de htm a par. tlcle of harm, It will have done its most wicked, but lta most harmless work." Wk trust that heuih of the temper temper unce peeple in the county will figure up Just hew mauy less taverns und beer saloons have been licensed under the nillduvlt system or Judge Livingston's uncial Invention than there existed last year without It. Mil. AiiTiunt has begun te explain that he is a tariff readjuster, net a free trader. Ue had hotter be careful. The candidate who explains is lest or seen will be It he keeps en explaining. Mho Is te lllame. The Erle J)ipatth says the missing roeords from he official history of the state, which the 'Legislative Recerd" failed te keep, owing te the eirelessness of the elerks of the llotue of Reprcsenta tires, contain the most damaging trsti meuy against the only Democratic admin titration Pennsylvania has had 1 a quarter of ft oentnry. Philadelphia Prttt Seme of the Republican liewspaiters of the statohave been getting up a tempe.it in a tea pet ever the reported failure of the clerks of the Democratic Heuse te keep a proper Jn.rn.il of its proceedings. Net one of these critics has Investigated or published the true account of the matter. Sir. Meek was chief clerk of the Heuse, responsible for a proper direction of the work, at its desks; Mr. Miadle was the J nn nal clerk, in spcc.nl charge of the record of the session. Neither Is the kind of man te neglect his duty. The journal was kept every day, and It was read regularly every morning te the Heuse ; there was neither neglect nor suppres slen of it. Mr. Meek says he has been in Ilarrisburg a number of times since tll adjournment of the Legislature, m.d has been te the elllce of the state printer frcuueutly. aud never had any notice of any incompleteness of the journal copy Mr. Shadle writes from the West, where he tins been staying for some time en legal business, that he did with the jour' n.il of the last few days of the extra tes sien just what he had done with tha of all the preceding days sent it te the state printer, thretr'h the sergeant-ut arms.

Dis honesty lu the long run never pays. The status of individual niembrs and local societies of the medical profession, in their relations te the national asecra tieu, has been tlxed by the summary way in which the meeting in Washington sat down upon the attempt of a beniurBet party te get iute the association except through the Pennsylvania state society.

L'nbailani-llkfl SletliuiH. Frem persons cegniraut of the affairs of the cDiietru it is learned that about three years two the llrm el Graut & Ward, iu which General Grant and Mr. Fish were then special partners, became embarraised. The two general partmrs, l". ? Grant jr., and Ferdinand Ward, had been iu business together only lib ut a year aud had used up or inv dv.'l the $200,000 special capital previdid by Getieral Grast and Mr. Fiih as well as tbe capital furcbhed by them them selves. In order te keep the tlrm upon its feet the special partners ied used the firm's notes and otherwise a. Jed them iu procuring $300,000. The assumption appeared te be 'hat the firm could get the supposed contracts re lerred te because of the rolatietis of its 83i ler partner with the federal government and wi'h politicians. What the nature of the contracts were, i! there were any, or iu what way the Urm was interested can net be learned. Ot l,te it is said the Urm has giveu only receipts for the moneys re ceived iu connection with the c mtract schema. Te what extent they have issued receipts aud their uetea for a similar pur tKjse canuet be accurately stated. Persons tu a position te knew say that the amount o.iuuet fall short of $.,uoe,000. Itisknewn that oue capitalist has invested nearly il, 000,000 aud another 730,000 in this plausible enterprise. It was possibly te give plausibility te their operations aud te advance their financial reputation the lirni recently begau te advance large sums of money te railroad aud ether corporations It is generally presumed that it was owing te the enhe with which the jeung men raised t'es sum that either the lirm as a whole, or Ward aetini; iu their uatne, entered upon the practices that have no. euly ruinjd thembut impaired the fortunes of many ethers, 1 lie v jr Meiify i hh Uut. Fer two years or mere the active mom bers of the firm, that is, all the members exept General Grant, aud persons hi various occupations nnd professions whom they have employed, have laid bofero capi taltstu mill investors a soheme for making quick, sure and handsntne profits. Iu some cases it was represented that tlie tlrm was interested in citPtisive govern meut contracts, iu ethers that it was en the instde in some railroad enterprise and in ethers it was simply stated that tlie enterprise was ene the exact uature of which could net be divulged, but in no iu stance yet heard of was the procise char acter of the undertaking stated te the pet seu approached. The firm desired money te carry en or fulfil! the ceutiacts or enterprises iu iiucstlen. and moreover wish'-d their friends te share in the profits. Ah security for the amounts advanced upon these- schemes the llrm gave either its notes, seme of them indorsed by Gen. Grant, seme by Mr. Fish, or, in very many instances, simply the firm's receipt, Kiiiirineim InlnrutU l'nlil. L'pnn theso advances the llrm ngreed te pay aud did pay interest, or what purper ted te be a share of the prelltH, at the rate of from two te flve per cent, for the use of the money thirty days. The higher rate was, according te all accounts, most couerally paid. The offers proved tempt. ing te many, and retired morelianti", pro fessional men, a few batik oIUceih nud many persons engaged in aotlve buslness accepted thu risk. The pavments of interest wero promptly made' nnd then renewals wero iu erder. Iu no case that can he learned of has nvarioe objeetod te a repstitteu or oeutiuuatlon of the transae tieu. A gentleman of high standing says that the number aud oharaeter of the per sons who had been iiuable te resist the tempting odors of the lirm nnd the ameuuts of meney that were invested wero asteuishing. Ne ene knew nnytiiing about the centractu. Everybody simply took the word of the firm for thu faet that there wero contracts.
