what would nankrup. ARMY oatoers,

Washington Letter; Gen. Sheridan has
shown signs since he took hold of the army Of
an intention to pursue vigorous policy, For
one thing, he has been astonishing the army by
ordering series of exchanges of stations be-
tween regiments in the west He believes that
for their mutual good and for the good of the
service exchanges of stations should be more
frequent An exchange means a great deal to
the regiments concerned One has been per-
haps ten years at eastern post-Fort McHenry,
Baltimore, for example. 1t has taken root

able for the Western regiment to come East as
for the Eastern regiment to go West "Why
sir" said an old army officer, IF the
regiment at Fort Blank, Oak, were ordered
East to-day it would bankrupt every officer in
its roster. Every one OF them had some local
scheme for making money-a farm, or mine,
or a herd of cattle, or something that they could
not give up without greatloss From time lnl-
memorial army officers have always done q
little money making as they went along out on

been long in the West where they have any
shrewdness at all, have some money laid up

HOW Ward Caught Fish.

President Fish of the exploded Marine bank
of New York says of Ward;
Within the past several months Mr.. Ward
has represented to me that he had a confiden-
tial understanding by which he furnished tothe
government the supplies l supposed that
through the Grant family or the friends of the
Grants, he might have some such contracts.
He said it would be a good thing to get con
tracts for government supplies, and mentioned
Elkns and Chaffee, and thought they were a
portion of the scheme, and FIAT their friend
ship and knowledge had been of advantage to
Ward as the partnero of Mr.. Chaffee's law
and of Gen Grants son. / am now satisfied
the whole thing was an invention and myth.
] do not believe he had any kind of contract |
don't suppose now Gen. Chant knew anything
about it, But before these disclosures | did
think that Grant or Grants friends might have
given Mr.. Ward the opportunity Mr.. Ward
said to me on at least one occasion thatI now
saw the ACCESSIBILITY of his having brought the
Grants into business relations with us He re-
ferred to the matter of these confidential con-
tracts

what Senator sabin says.

Senator Ssbin on returning to Saltwater on
Friday, was besieged by business associ-
ates and journalistic interyiewers He had little
to say regarding the financial troubles of the
several enterprises with which he is connected,
preferring to wait until he has an opportunity
to get at the facts in the case. lie is confident,
however, that Seymour, Sabin & Co, have
enough assets to take care of everything, and
denies that there has been any improper ap-
plieation of the proceeds of the sales of stock.
As to matters political, the senator is posi-
tive in saying that he has never expected or in
tended to retain the Craftsmanship of the
national committee longer than until the meet
ing of the Chicago convention. And even if he
might desire to do So he intimates that he has
no overweening desire to run his chances of
the penitentiary under the newly discovered
civil service law. He also denies explicitly that
he has stated that New Yorlk's financial trou-
bles would hurt the Republican party, and also
the rumors that he is financially interested in
Loren Fletcher's candidacy.
