Cook, (uow Bankrupt and President
Grant, tho only survivor. These
gamblers were backed by the United
States Treasury, aud "made their
pile" Itt~soon leaked out that
President Grant was party in the
scramble, and although the profits
were not 30 enormous, yot tpey we're
of sqch u character that il exposed

to the censuro of every broker in
Wall Street. On winding up the
operation it appeared that Somebody
had won about thirty,ihousand dollars

cover this fraud tic money was paid
by Jay, Cook to Mrs. U: $" Grant
to e1calpate. the President of tho
