NEW PUBLICATIONS.

From Charles Scribaers Sons, New York. IA
have 2 translation under the title Of ''Our
Chancellor" of the biography of Bismarck
recently published by his friend and admirer,
Moritz Busch. Mr.. Busch expressly disclaims
in his preface any intention to paint a portrais
of the German statesman, and frankly con-
fesses, indeed. his inability to do So but in
dulge5 the hope that his collection OF Bismark-
lana win afford the materials for an adequate
biography by some future historian. Neyerthe-
less, the book is an extremely interesting expo
sition of the character of the chancellor. his
habits of thought his mode of life, his pOliti-
cal convictions, and his personal tastes, and 10
is enriched by collection of anecdotes which
admirably illustrate the rugged nature Of the
man. The latter, in fact, although they occupy
but small portion of the work as compared
with the space devoted 10 the history Of the
political intrigues upon which the reputation
of this master of statecraft is founded, ara
likely to have for the reader by far the greatest
interest, since they reveal what in his publis
character are not readily distinguishable-thS
private faults and virtues of the man. It is,
indeed, the most authentic account OF Bis
marck's personal and private associations THAI
have yet been made public, and as such is Of in
estimable value. It is for sale in this city By
W. IT. Morrison.

THE death of Judah P. Benjamin at Paris,
on the 9Th inst, adds another name to the
list of distinguished Confederate leaders who
have passed away since the war. Mr. Ben
jamin was a native of the West Indies, but
his family emigrated to North Carolina
while he was still a child and he was edu-
Gated an American At the bar he early
displayed the qualities of great advocate
and when in 1852 he was elected United
States Senator from the State of Louisiana,
he had already acquired a national reputa-
ton. In the Senate he distinguished him
self by his devotion to the doctrines of Cal
houn, and when the State of Louisiana de-
clared for secession he announced his deter
mination to follow her fortunes and for
mally withdrew from Congress How far
Mr.. Benjamin was Influenced in this course
by political ambition it is idle to conjecture,
but like all Southern statesmen of that
period he seemed to be possessed of an I'M
reasoning confidence in the ultimate success
of secession and correspondingIy profound
contempt for the Federal authority. His
speech upon retiring from the Senate, on
the last day of the year 1860, was of the
most grandiloquent character, and evidently
designed to be construed as a prophecy. He
predicted that in after years history would
pass stern sentence on the erring men who
had driven their unofending brethren from
the shelter of their common home.y and
quoted as significant of the future the dec
laration of Senator Pendleton, of Ohio. that
armies, money, blood, cannot maintain
this Union; justice, reason, peace, mayin
How little he understood the temper of
the Northern people In less than FIVE years
from that day Mr.. Benjamin was man
without country and destined never to see
it again, while the Union which he sought
to destroy, maintained by armies, money
and blood" stood more firmly established
than ever But, like Mr. Davis, MIR. Benja-
min never repented his folly. He died as
the former will die, wrapt up in his own
selfish griefs and Indifferent to every con-
sideration of patriotism

with other peoples money and using the
principal of the latter to pay the interest on
it. Precisely what the liabilities of the firm
amount to is not definitely known, but they
are probably somewhere between five and ten
millions of dollars, and the private fortunes
of the Grant family will be but drop in
the bucket towards meeting them.
Fortunately for General Grant, the fund
which was raised for him by his personal
friends, some years ago, is held in trust, and
the income will be sufficient to provide for
his support, even should Congress fail to
place him on the retired list with the pay of
a general; and as it is not believed by any
body that he was aware of the sort of bust
ness in which the manager of the firm was
engaged, his honor and reputation are not
likely to suffer from the failure. Neverthe-
less, such shock as this viii be difficult for
one of even General Grants sang troid to
bear, and however much one may be dis
posed to condemn the operations of the
house with which he had the misfortune to
be connected, it is impossible not to feel a
deep sympathy with him in the disaster
which threatens to cloud the close Of an ex-
traordinarily illustrious and brilliant career.

The Prisoners Bills.

Elsewhere in our columns we print the
substance of the report made from the
House Committee on Invalid Pensions in
favor of the Robinson bill to pension ex-
Union prisoners and their widows. 1t viii
be observed that it is signed by ten out of
the fifteen members of the committee,
Budd, Of California, whose name was omitted
last week, being among the number,-and
although technically known as the minority
is really the majority report, The argu
ments with which the signers of this report
support their position are remarkably
cogent and their presentation of facts unan-
swerable. They show not only that our
ex-prisoners are entitled to specific compen-
sation for the extraordinary sufferings
imposed upon them in Southern prisons,
contrary to the rules of civilized warfare,
but that there is notable precedent for
this action on the part of the Government.
and that so far from being a departure from
the settled policy Of the Nation it is in strict
accordance with it. AS between the Robin
son bill, as reported by the majority of the
committee, and the substitute bill in its
present shape, we are heartily in favor Of
the former. The substitute not only prac-
tically gives the examining surgeons abso-
lutte power to allow or reject claim, but by
the provisions of the fifth section denies to
applicants for arrears the benefits Of the bill
except on condition that they surrender the
rights which they already possess. We
should be at loss to account for the infu-
ence that prompted the five members of the
committe to report such faulty, defective,
and unjust proposition, were it not that in
their report they distinctly state that this
substitute meets the views of our present
| able, iadefa.igable, and successful lin what,
pray n Commissioner of Pensions, who from
the very necessities of his position has given
the whole question of pensions the most
careful study, and brings to the considera-
ton Of it an intelligent judgment and the
most kindly feelings for his late comrades
in the civil war" It is clear from this that
the Commissioner VIII have to shoulder the
responsibility for this substitute as well as the
Warner pension bill, and unless we greatly
mistake the sentiments of our ex-prisoners,
he viii find it pretty heavy load to carry.
1t is about time that it were known whether
it is the wishes of our ex-soldiers or those OF
the COmmissi 5ner of Pensions that Congress
proposes to consult.
The National tribune., 1884-05-15
a Wau-street Sensation.

The revelations concerning the failure last
week of the house of Grant & Ward, the
New York bankers, of which General Grant
was member are truly astounding. It
appears that it has been the practice Of the
firm to solicit investments on the represen-
tation that it was extensively interested in
Government contracts and railroad enter
prises, from which ii was reaping prodigious
returns, and upon the advances so obtained
to pay enormous rates of interest, in some
cases reaching as high as per cent.
month. No one seems to have required of
it precise account of the character Of these
contracts and enterprises, but to have taken
it for granted, from the high reputation
which the head of the house enjoyed, that
everything was all right the heavy interest
promised and actually paid on their
loans and investments together with their
natural avarice, binding them apparently
to the real risk they ran. Had they re-
fected, it must have occurred to them that
if the contracts in which Messrs. Grant &
Ward were engaged were as substantial and
lucrative as represented, the latter could
have borrowed all the money they wanted
to carry them on at a rate not exceeding
five per cent. per annum instead of five per
cent. per month; but it is the experience of
! financiers the world over that nothing so
effectually blinds men to the risks of specu-
! lation as the payment of inordinate rates of
interest. These investors thought they were
sharing the profits of Messrs. Grant & Ward.
when, as matter of fact, they were simply
receiving back their principal in install
ments.
As an illustration Of their pecn,iar meth
DDS, it may be stated that they loaned large
sums Of money to various railroad compa-
MES at low rates of interest taking their
mortgage bonds as collateral, and then. in
stead of retaining them, as they were bound
to do, simply to secure themselves against
loss in case the loans should not be repaid
re-hypothecated them with the banks as
security for loans to themselves to a greater
per cent of their face value and at higher
rates of interest. AS to what has become OF
the immense sums of money of which it is
known they had the disposition, The ques-
ton was answered by Wall street broker,
as follows:
It is very easy 10 where good deal O. it has
gone when you consider that three per cent. a
month is thirty-six per cent. year. and that five
| per cent month is sixty per cent a year They
have paid large part Of it back the people who
| gave it to them, and those people, without know
| ing it, have simply been spending their own prin-
cipal under the impression, of course that they
were enjoying profits. We ali know that every
body who has had dealings with them had derived
q handsome and steady income from that Office.
| Just how 1T was done, and why every customer OF
theirs should be continuously successful no one
could find oft; but the developments of the last
few days have demonstrated how 1t was done az
plainly as il you saw the actual transaction.
In other words, the firm appears to have
been engaged in no lucrative projects what
ever, but TO have simply been specuIating
