documents Of the firm when it was
solvent, and also the records of the
Trustee. Any one who tries, however,
to post himself on the condition Of
affairs by examining these papers will
find that be has laid out before him Il
dlshcartening job. There arc 1884
catalogued books, embracing the ledg-
ers and journals of the three American
houses, the letter. files, check and draft
book stubs, sterling exchange books,
and the entire correspondence of the
firm during the thirteen years of its
existence, and all that the Trustee has
handled. These letters are in ninety
one big boxes, the contents OF each box
being properly filed and the box labeled.
The boxes, with their contents, aver
age 1850 pounds in weight. The ledgers
are p~ondcrous tones, and number sew.
enty--l,0 900 pages in all. The journals
are 40 in number AMI average 500
pages. There are 37S letter books, in
each of which there are 1000 letters
copied. The books are numbered from
| to 1884, inclusive, and the arrange
ment is such that any transaction can
be traced in ten minutes from the time
it vas opened until il was closed. -Four
boxes, of the size spoken of above, are
filed with the Cancelled checks, vouch-
ors, drafts and bills Of exchange, the
figures on which aggregate over ten
millions of dollars. Since the failure
of the firm, five clerks, headed by Mr..
James Calvert, auditor for the Trustee,
have been continually employed, and
their work has been to compile the full
reports that have been published, face
the claims and get the accounts into
proper shape. This they have done,
and the results Of their labor show
rather satisfactorily whore the money
that has been expended went to.

BoosTING GRANT.-The members of
the War, Naval, Indian, Whisky and
Credit obilicr rings, all favor Grants
nomination in 1880. 1t is said there
is a strong movement in the South in

Because, the man who has grown up
to be q voter in this age, and invests
his money in buying lottery tickets, is

This is a prosperous looking state
ment, in q negative sense. The road
has lost in general business, but has
earned a nice income through the dc.
crease of expenses. The business af.
fairs of thousands of citizens Is in the
same condition. They are unable to
pay their debts, but unlike the railroad
company, they fail to decrease their
expenses, and in that way restore con.
fidencc, and eventually save enough to
cancel their indebtedness.
