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."

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

We de net assume that the Republi

copy, but if it does net appear in his
publication of the journal, it is for him
aud net for the clerks of the Heuse te
explaiu the emission.

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. Porseus posseislng

membars of the firm were npproaehod
indlrrelly upon the suhjeetby frleuds and
