FRIDAY, OCJOBEa 16, 1885. 1UK WAHUUtliNl eviiip-ts From his oomfor!abla if not luxurious ' quarters in Licbw street jail Ferdinand War the Nepolecn of finance, leas re- oenUj made a statement ooveriog bt9 busi cess eareer, which makes plain the; meth ods of the firm of Grant and Ward in their nefarious operations. The revelation was first made through the medium of the Now York Herald and occupied ten edemas ct that great paper. It' shows among other things who received ihe big gest t hares of the swap, anil certain, letters printed along with it place the young Grants, the sons tbo ' General, in a most unenviable - light. There ean be lit'.l doubt itbal U. 8. , Grant, Jr, and F. D. Grtni were aware that the alleged extensive -govern -': ment contract" business was fietitioas and that they were sharing in the benefits cf ' a huge swindle. : The Gsnerah himself is laid under &trong saapieion, for one of his goes mentions ia a iettar to Ward as re gards the Ooetn telegraph subscription that hist(ather had said that' Gould pat him ia for a good thing and on the ground fiior." The Grant family, as a whole, are jshowo to have reoeived 4568,000 from the cod -' eern, that sum representing more than one tenth the whole amount of the j bogui - pre fits. '! it The firm was created- in 'July, 1880, and subsequently Qn. Grant and his so Jessa were admitted into partnership, i; Until Maroh, 1832, be ivy losses, were suffered, though they were not heavy enough it seems to impair the credit of the house. ' After the date mentioned money began to roll ia "jn paper." The first notable transaction described by Ward was one implioaticg Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, who is alleged to -have ludaeed t Grant & Ward to buy the Belmon Coat i ' Mining & Railroad Company ot Alibama. ' Of this pitoe of business it ia said in brief ' as follows f , ' . ' In a nutshell Grant 4 Ward bnjy the - mine from Geai Goidjn and others.! The j , issue f 100,000 of bonds and put the $100,000 into tho mine. They used the ." f 100,000 in paying the debts of th mine and in putting it into working order.! They issued 4,000 shares of stock, 3,000 of whioh are gives to Gen. Gordon and his friends as a bonus. G.ra. Gordon ob tained a loan at the Marine bank oil $18, 000 on the 3,000 shares of the stock. The Marine bank repeatedly call on General t Gordon for the principal of the loan, and no attention, is paid to tbo calls. At the importunity cf Mr. Fish the firm of Grant & Ward' are then compelled to lake the . loan up from the Marine bank,' and : they do so and pay the $18,000. t Tcis 1 gives them the otintrol of the entire stock and bondi of the mine. Oa March 6, 1$82, a meeting of the directors of the oompany U held, and the asked for resignation offered - by G rfdon as president is reoeived a$d so tapted, and the fo.'Lwing board ' of direo tors ia elected : f Gen. U. S. Grant, .lames D. Fish, H. G. ptis, J. H. Work, U. 8. G.-ant, jr., and Ferdinand Ward. Mr. ' Ward was tladed president' and pt 8. Grant, Jr., secretary. Mr. Ouis was in struoted to make a full list of the icdebt edness of tho mine up to date, and also an estimate as to- what the mine would cost , up to May 1, 1882. Mr. Otis wis in stiuoted to shut the mine down with the exception of a f aw necessary men Until May 1, 1882, and to procure tea new can, new rails, shed, etc, and thus it wa$ that when the firm purchased the mino Gen. Gordon said there! was not over fifty or sixty thousand dollars indebtedness on it, - they had spent up to the time the mine . was shut down some $130,000, besides having assumed the debt of Gen. Gordon to the Marine bnk as a loan on this stock whioh cost' him nothing. f At the time the mine was purchased it was decided to ; look, for a manager, and . Mr. U. 8. Grant, Jr suggested the name of Mr. H. G. Otis, a friend of his, and aa tho mine was considered one of the Chant investment. Mr. 0 as vu not opposed, - and 'he beoame the manager at a regular alary. Ftom beginning to the end the , , mino was a drain on the firm . unde? his management until the tjme when v they - found it was best to oloee up rather -than to sink any more money in it, Sinos the ' failure of Grant & Ward the mine has been soli to Mr. O.is for the sum o. 15,000. And thus it was through' the suggestion of Gen. Gordon lo Gen. Grant that the firm ot Grant & Ward lost jfrom $130,000 to 150t000. The mine; b coming worthless, it was decided that: each membet-of the firm should take up t cer tain portion of this indebtedness, and! the v : did so take up $75,000 of it by piyit-g $18,755 apiece, f The matter ot $14,000 loaned to Gen. Gordon and alterw'ards taken op by Grant & Ward was charet d Up to prvfii and loss aoo mat in Grain & Ward s effioe, and appears on tha slate ment of November 30, 1882 " Ward's pals have of course deier eii him and the Herald osllod atteouua to the feci that he has not explained haw 1. came to think of government eac tract," or at whose suggestion he inented t..t exoaso for the alleged great prcfi.s o t"t Business, xne wnole story is a mosd s graoeful disclosure of unscrupulous greed T.

A locg !and exhauHive reply to 8enator Hoar's recent speeoh whioh claimed in ef- feot thatlaegro msjirities at the South should of neceseity bo Republican majori ties has beep made, at the instance of sev eral gentlemen of Khode Island, by Mr. Joseph A Crook. Of thin rkply we pve the most pertinent part. Mr. Crook says: I am fortunately in a position to speak of my ewd knowledge concerning politios in Georgia, because I was bora and reared and still live) in that Staff; and 1 believe 1 can BDeak advisedly and impartially, bo- oause, whije a staunohemocrat, 1 am not a bitter partisan or a narrow minded bigot. And what I msy say of the negroes and the negro Vo'e in Georgia will dcubiiebs apply with; eq ial ioroe to every o'her Southern State, not except. ti u.h CiT olina and ; MiHSiosippi, where the ctgro peptization "greatly exooeds tho" white. Tha 'Rspublioan majjtititsa" referred to by Senator, Hoar must, mean negro iuaiot- itiep, because the white men of the South, with coroparMively f-'W exofpuons, airo DcmOPiat? It this meaning is ojt ;($-, aud ibeto Can be no dot. hi cl i , then tho Senator cSunitB tbttt besnuju ncrces may predominate in a oi'y, a ojucly, a toa gressioaal diiStnot, or a ti.s.e, thcro is no reaion why; a .Republican sbouid sot, in all elections, buohot-ea reepecuvely a mayor, a legislator, a Ujngrcsmsn or a Governor. Well, this may bs good Northern JLJjurban llepublio'.n logio.batit is too f-illy lor invui iL'ent po: pid to oonaider seriously, and yet tin JUemootatio party must, for the time, so oonsider v, simply benause it is the piine pal piatik on whioh their political opponents have taken a ttand, Nj, nolb iDg can be Clearer, especuuy to one wqo understands n-.ro vihrorer, than that a negro Hjj jnty is not a Reubiioan ma jority. Tce reasons lor the lua negro vote not being polled at eleoUoos, and lor the Eacofies ol the Democrats in tbuso pcr tioso of Georgia where the nerc-os may have numerical strength, are fow and tim ple.

Beoause many negroes were flseoed of a large portion ot their hard earnings for years by the now detanet Jfreedmaa s pavings banc; whioh was an institution run in the interest of the Republican Priy. i j 6 h. Bioauss time and the relation of employer and employee have dearly proved to the negroes (as witness the address is sued by the; convention of nogro men ,at Lynchburg, Virginia, on the 30 h ultimo), tbat the white; people of the South, among whom they were reared and who knew them best, ate: their truest friends and tbo only ones to whom they can 'ook'for labor when well, and for charity whe'n sick. 7th. lieciuse the ooure tf tho present Ddmooratio national adminiatration has dispelled whstiver lingering fears the ne groes may hive entertained of their free dom through the vile teachings of the "carpet-baggers," who were, if they are not now, the .knightserrant of the Repuh aoan narty, and the "cankers ot a oalm And so vanishes Senator Hoar's "Re publican mtj aiitiea" in the South. The truth Is, that the negroes vf the South, who art) mostly laborers, have as perfect freedom of political dioassioa and voting as a&y class of laborers in the North. Cahon Fabb,&b, the great Engiiah preacher new lecturing in tbu oountry, talks forcibly un the subj sot of education. In the course: of a -lecture delivered in Baltimore the other day, he said: "The true end of education, of whatever kind, we must set Bteadily before us. There are some who) wuh to know that they may know; this is; base curiosity. There axe some who wijii to know that they may bo known; this :; if base vanity. There are some who wish to sell their knowledge; this is bise oofetousoess. There are somo who wish tol know that they may edif j; this is charity and thoae who wish to be edified, this j heavenly prudenoe. The, object of education is that we may learn to see and anew (i jd here and glorify Him in heaven hereafter. Knowledge is not a eourt in which to rest, nor a tower, but a rich treasure bouse for tne glory of Gd We should seek it tbat we may bcoome profitable members of the church and the Commonwealth, and hereafter bo partaker of' His vision and His Sibbath. We should first seVk to be men." The rever end speaker here qio.ad the txprodsion auributed to Garfiid to the eheot that when questioned in early life as io his tniure, he replied that first of all ;be would ,ry to be a mail ; lor il he fail id iu that u would be useless tor him to try te ba anything else.
