That S25O,OOO Gr,nt Fund.


When Gen. Grant reads any paper on the
Elevated Railway it is the one published by
MIS- friend, Mr.. George Jones, the originator
aud collector of the $3.50 600 fund to which
Jay Gould contributed. A good deal was
heard about the fund when the scheme was
hrst proposed, as you may remember, and
very llttie at and after the time when the
amount was filled up. Mr.. Hurlbert. of the
World, would be pleased to have the public
believe there is mystery about the final
disposition OF the fund, that Mr.. Jones. in
stead OF handing over the quarter of mil
lion to the intended beneficiary, pockefed
1t when Jay Gould's back was turned. and
subsequently, spent it for candy, or some
other reckless sort of dissipation.
The truth about the privacy attending the
tiual phase of. the Grant fund is this, as /.
understand the facts: The original project
was to make the fund a permanent one, the
income to go to the Oldest living ex-Presi-
dent. That was merely pretext to spare
General Grants supposed de ieaey about
accepting a purely individual benefit.
Neither Mr.. Jones nor any other OF the
promoters OF the scheme cared a picayune
about any ex President but General Grant.
Some OF the heaviest subscribers, indeed,
refused to accept conditions which
would give the interest of their money to
Mr.. Hayes, In case OF General GRANTS
death. The "oldest living ex-President''
feature Of the fund, therefore, was quietly
dropped, and It became contribution ex-
clusivelV for General Grant. Il was found
that he had no delicacY about accepting It
as such, and that is how the matter stands.
But so much had been said in the Times
about the beauty and patriotism of pro-
vision for the declining years of all ex-
Presidents, irrespective of party, that It was
thought proper to treat the final disposition
OF The money as matter concerning nobody
beyond the benefsctors and the beneficiary

SENATORIAL CONTEST.
The Second Days Proceedings.

Our Atlanta correspondent sends us the
following review of the joint ballots for
United States Senators on Wednesday:
There was no change in the vote of the
Senate for Messrs Barrow and Hill, the for
mer having % and the latter IA. In the
House the changes from Hill to Barrow
were Messrs. Carter, Cox, Flte, johnson Of
Lee LOgue, Lott, Moore of Hancock, Rob
son, studdard, Sutton-QO). The changes
from Barrow to- Hill we're: Messrs. Hudson
OF Webster, Rich Of Wayne, Robbie, Wilson
OF McIntosh-(4. McD0nOugh of Chatham,
absent on first ballot, voted for Barrow,
making q gain Of eleven and loss OF four
votes.
There were the following changes in the
Senate on the long term election: Mr.. Fos-
ter changed from ColQuitt to Jackson, as
did Mr.. Martin; Mr.. Neal changed from
jackson to Black, as did Mr.. Parker; Mr..
Norman charged from Jackson to COlQuitt;
Mr.. Smith changed from Anderson to Jack
son. These changes, however, only re-
dueed Governor Colquitt's vote from
twenty to nineteen. In the House the
changes were: Messrs. Brewer and Moore
OF Hancock from Co!quitt to Black
Mr.. Cox from Colquitt to Jackson;
(3) Mr.. Graham from Black to COlqultt;
Mr. Julian from Jackson to COlquitt; Messrs.
Wimberly, Wilder and Wilson OF Mcintosh
from Longstreet to Colquitt; Messrs. Geer
aud Hudson of Webster from Anderson to
ColQuitt (7): Messrs. Daniel, Owens and
Fslligant from Black to Jackson; Messrs.
Davis and McDonough, who did not vote on
the first day, went for Jackson. and Mr..
Perkins for Black. With these changes
Governor COlquitt's full vote on joint ballot
was only l06.
Senator Foster, who voted for Governor
COlquitt the fret day, and for Judge Jack
son the second day, as soon as It was seen
that Colquitt was not elected on the first
Joint ballot, changed his vote back to Col
Quit, and others Immediately followed,
carving the final ballot up to 122 for Col
quitt. This left Jackson 40, Black 33, An
dersOn 20.
Every prediction made by our Atlanta
correspondent, he claims, was justified by
liberal construction of facts: First, that
Pope Barrow would be elected on first sepa-
rate ballot, which he was, in one sense, as
he got los votes-s majority Of both Houses
but not in each House. Second, that
Governor Colquitt would not be elected,
probably, on the first joint ballot, as was
the case, in one sense. as he had only 1O6-
net s majoritY-when the roll call was
:-nded. The changes that followed we're, in
one sense. q second ballot for every man
who changed his vote. Third, that Colquitt
would certainly be elected, as he was, in
one sense, on the second joint ballot. In
Justice to him these facts are recorded.
