Why AStOnished?

Philadelphia Times.
The more the relations of the firm of
Grant & Ward and the Marine National
Bank come to be understood the more
the public establishment at the way these
two swindling institutions played into
each others hands increases. 1t is now
stated that the bank had loaned Grant q
Ward two millions Of dollars As the
former had a capital of only $4OO,
and was prohibited by law from loaning
to exceed one-tenth of that amount to
anv one firm or individual, it looks as
though there was sufficient ground for
a criminal action against the officers OF
the bank for this violation of the law. 1t
might be a good plan to make some ar
rests before going any further into the
secrets of these stupendous failures. If
the arrests are put off too long it may be
too late to make them at all. Rascals run
away sometimes.

AGUERO'S EXPEDITION.

Did the Cuban Government Offer Him
$4,000 to Return to the United
States
\ letter from Havana, May s. says the
insurgents under Aguero continue to
hold their own, and every day the papers
are publishing defeats by troops and civil
guards of other bands in different parts
of the island, of whose existence the pub
lie before knew nothing. As regards
Aguero, people say that he must be an
exceptional person whom the Govern
ment does not want to touch for some
reason or other.
1t Is almost impossible to get any de
hmte facts with regard to the report that
the Cuban Government has offered
Arguero $12, 900 to return to the United
states The Government naturally de
mes 1t Indignantly, and so will those
through whom it may be made. It is.
however, pretty well established that the
Government would rather have Aouero

should be obliged to catch him Gorara1

Aguero remained in New York he would
never have asked for his extradition, but
when the bandit went to Key West with
the manifest intention of returning to
Cuba, Castillo thought it his duty to call
for the delivery of him. No doubt exists
that the Government did pay or try to
pay Aguero a good sum to leave Cuba
before he went to the United States.
The money was given to a noted chief Of
the former insurrection, who is now fill
ing a good position in Havana; but the
part that weut to Aguero was very small.
At least, this is the story in everybody's

How the Game Was PLAYED.

New York Evening Post (RepD.
How the profits of Grant & Ward
were actually realized may be guessed
by glancing at the city's deposit account
IN the, Marine Bank. The cily was issu-
ing 3 per cent. revenue bonds, and Grant
& Ward were bidding higher prices for
them than anybody else would pay
Fish was partner in the firm, and was
also President of the Marine Bank, and
the Marine Bank was one of the citv's
depository banks. The mOdus Operandi
for the realization of profit in the city
contracts was evidently to buy say $780,
600 of city bonds, pay for them. and
have the money deposited in the Marine
Bank, then use the same money to buy
another 100000 worth, and have the
money again deposited, and so on, sell
ing or hypothecating the bonds mean
while, and finally bursting and leaving
no assets. This was only one branch of
the complicated machine which was run
on the strength of General Grant 5 name.

New YORK, May IA, 1870 a m.-The
financial complications Of the past week,
supplemented by revelations regarding
the management of the Second National
bank, which resulted in the resignation
of its president, has brought about such
a feeling of uncertainty in the financial
situation that on the opening at the busi-
ness at the Stock Exchange this morn
ing it was felt that disaster was imminent.
Before long one failure after another was
announced. Five stock nrms had an
nounced their suspension and the Metro
politan National bank had closed its
doors It's president, George l. Saney,
has been one of the most prominent spec
ulators on Change, and was rated high

to involve some country firms, as well
as individuals in the West and South.

WARDS BRILLIANT SMASH.

said he believed that General Grant and
his sons were ruined, and that they had
no part of the FIRMS property in their
possession. From his investigation thus
$12, 449, ,537, and borrowed on collateral
sales 81, ,289, ,807. Borrowed money due
depositors, according to the ledger ac-
count, is 1895, 223 for balance of stock
transactions, and $534, 962 due to gener-
al creditors, including the Marine bank
making total of $14, 5O1, ,531. The un-
secured debts were between $4,000. 600
and $4,000 900, he thought. He knew
nothing in regard to assets.
A gentleman who had a conversation
with Mr.. Fish, of the Marine bank states
that he is in a very low condition Of
mind Fish told him that when the
checks of Grant & Ward were certified
$3.50, 900 on the morning before the fail
ure there were in the vault of the Marine
bank about 81, ,0O0 900 worth of securities
belonging to the firm; that Ward came
to bank Tuesday morning and took the
securities away, saying that he had a
good chance to realize upon them. and
would at once return the proceeds. This
he has not yet done.
