PRESaDENT GRANT AND THE
'tt GOLD RING.

The gold gambling developments
have been pointing more and more
to the Grant family. Mr.. Jay Gould'a
statements last week point unmis-
takably to Grants culpability.
Mr.. Gould asserts:
4. @That his intimacy with Mr..
Corbin, General Grants brother. in
lrw, has been close and confidential,
and that, during the summer, their
meetings and Interviews were almost
That General Butterheld was
appointed ASsi-tant-Treasurer by
Mr. Corbin's influence and with 3
view to favor his speculAiiOns; that
Il was first intended that CatherWoOd, ,
Corbin'5 son-in-law. should be Assis-
tant- Treasurer, buG it was thought
that this appointment would be at
tended with too much danger, aud
CafherWood WAS bought of by q
promise Of one fourth OF the profits
made by Corbin and Gould. Butter
Held was pitched upon as q man well
calculated to cloak the contemplated
speculation.
3. That General Grant advanced
to CorbIn ten or twelve thousand
dollars to be used as 3 margin in 9
speculation in bonds, and that Cor
bins brokers purchased $500, 900
worth Of bonds to be carried with
this margin on account Of the Presi-
dent.
4. That Mr.. Gould had q personal
interview with the President in the
summer, at Corbin's house, in which
the President told Gould that no gold
would be sold before the first Of No.
VeInher, beyond the regular month
lyfwo millions, and that this infOr-
nation was the basis OF the specula-
tion.
8 That Mrs. Grant was in the
speculation half q million Of gold
hSoing been purchased on her ac'
count at IS2. which was sold when
the price had risen to lS7, and the
profits, amounting TO $25, 900, was
remltted to her.
s. That when Secretary Boutwell,
had decided to sell gold and break
down the speculation, the President
gave q peremptory order to Boutwell,
forbiddlng the sale, and that this or
der was given at the instigation oi
CorbIn-
z That the final order for the sale
Of gold was not given until CorbIn
had represented to the President that
he was out Of the speculation.
This Is certainly damaging array
on our chief magistrate, 1t Is assur-
ed bad IL We have only . gambler in
the White House. What right too,
has he to use his official position in
this corrupt and corrupting way
Truly, the.' decency party" had bet
ter stop electing Presidents If they
cannot give US men Of more calibre
and more character than Grant and
81 LIncsIn.
And yet their gaseous organs
would hays people think Grant Is
perfection Itselfi With them "the
King can do no wrong" Ifhe gam
bles and robs, 1t L. all right, and fhe
gets drunk, It Is Copperheao lie
and, Il Is treason to abuse the gov
eminent.
