THE GRANT & WARD FAILURE.
Wards Way of Doing Business-He Was
About to Leave for Europe.

The affairs of Grant & Ward continue
to attract a great deal of attention. The
further the investigation proceeds the
worse they appear. The chief transac-
tiOns of the firm appear to have been car
ried in Mr.. Wards head. At the office of
Grant & Ward, the receiver, Mr.. Julien
T. Davies, stated that two more expert
accountants had just been placed at work,
and il was now hoped that a full state.
ment of the affairs Of the firm could be
made by Wednesday night. When asked
what 1t was that protracted the investi-
cation be pointed to a gentleman sitting
in one corner Of the room with an enor-
nous heap of large envelopes in front of
him. These he was opening one by one,
noting the contents Of each.
''There," said Mr.. Davies, t'you see each
one of those envelopes has to be opened
before we can ascertain what it is that
am the receiver Of"
CATER you have learned that l suppose
it Will not be easy to tell the real value of
the securities or written obligations which
they cOntain?'
No" said Mr.. Davies, "but we will at
any rate know what we have got in our
hands. Mr.. Ward was here for a long
time with US, and helped to trace a num-
Der of transactions represented by these
cOllaterals. There were loans made by
the firm for which cOllaterals are in these
envelopes, but of which no record is to be
found in the books Of the firm. Mr.. Ward
carried the transactions in his head. How
ever, we are getting on very fast now and
hope to finish very soon, as l have said"
$50 far as you have got do things look
better or worse p inquired the reporter.
SWELL" replied Mr.. Davies, with a
laugh, II have not learned anything
which causes affairs to look distinctly
better, and am sure they could not look
any worse than they have heretofore APP
peared.

WHY THE DUPEs KEEP QUIET.

A man who appeared to be well in
formed said:
"All the fault does not lie at this end of
Wall street by any means. Mr.. Ward has
not been the only wrongdOer. Is it reason
able to think that mere youth like Mr..
Ward-for he is still very young-could
carry on all these gigantic financial
schemes unless there was somebody older
and with more experience and more power
back Of him?''
swell, President Fish has transferred
all his property for the benefit of his credi-
tors and for those of the bank, has he
nOt?"
HE has turned over 81 900, 900 or 81, 700.-
900 worth Of property, but it might be
shown that during the last two years he
has drawn $2,000,000 out of the firm of
Grant & Ward alone"
.'Mr. Ward has not been arrested,
Think"
'NO. There are people, however, who
would perhaps arrest him if he should
now try to get away, but | think they
will give up that idea shortly"
"Why should they change their minds,
Mr. Smith?7
''If certain parties should make dead
set against the members of the firm the

''What could the firm do to them?''

AN ATTACK IL BE MADE ON THE Coz

The following explanation of Wards

New York Times reporter:

lis preliminary to an attack on the con-
veyances made by Ward to William S.
Warner and the other persons now known
as the Warner-W ork syndicate, which, it
has been learned, consists of at least a
dozen persons, some of whom are named
as preferred in the assignment made by
Grant II Ward to Julien T. Davies. The
members of this syndicate drew $4,000 900
IN cash out of that firm in its lifetime. in
addition to the property screwed out of
Ward on the eve of its bankruptcy. The
S4,OOO, 600 drawn represented their profits
in the main. Very little was made UP of
withdrawn investments. The unpreferred
creditors of the firm have now taken a
hand in the affair. They have emDlOved
MIR. John r. Dos PassOs and Mr.. William
Allen Butler to force this syndicate to dis
gorge, and they will probably force them
speedily. Mr.. Des Passos has been quiet
ly investigating the methods of the firm of
Grant u Ward, night and day, for several
days, and, by pressing Ward with the ut
most rigor, he has procured from him a
full account of the extraordinary dealings
OF the firm. He induced him also to make
this assignment to Holt. His investiga-
ton has not been pursued here alone, but
also in Europe, it being understood that
Ward recently bought bills on Europe to
the amount of 100000. There is reason
to believe that he would have skipped by
the light of the moon if he had not been
opportuneiy delayed and caught"

WARDS PECULIAR METHOD OF DOING
BUSINESS.

AS an instance OF Ferdinand Wards
peculiar methods of doing business, and
particularly of the manner in which he
deceived and blinded Gen. Grant, down.
town broker tells the following story
"One evening while Gen. Grant was en-
tertaining some friends at home Ward
called, and, being introduced to the Cen
erals guests, made himself very agree
able, as he well knows how to do. Just
before the young Spectator took his de-
parture he called Gen. Grant to one side
and said: General, / took a little FLYER
on the street this afternoon, outside the
regular business, and cleared $4,000.
OF course l did it for the firm, but it isn't
necessary that it should go on the books.
1t would only cumber them up, and really
is not of enough Importance. 1t was a
cash transaction, and l have brought up
your share handing the General some
thing more than $3,0OO."l Mr.. Ward, it
is said, was in the habit of taking occa-
sional ''fyers' of that kind Just by way
of amusement, and his unbusinesslike
partners took his word for it that the
transactions were not of sufficient i'm

VALE BLAINE.
From the N. y. World.

Mr.. Blaine organized a serenade for
himself at Augusta last night, and in
response to the music of the band deliv-
which may be regarded as his solemn
vaiedlctory. 1t was 4 speech full of
cunning malignancy. 1t was the Doc
trine OF Hate intensified, as preached
by Mr.. Blaine before the idea occurred
to him that he might, as a candidate
for President, obtain a few votes in the
Southern States. In his hour of defeat
and humiliation Mr.. Blaine resumes
his warfare upon the people of the sec
o despised by the helots of the Re-
publican party. There is little that is
new to his. voice from the Valley of
Humiliation. The American people
have heard recently about all that he
has to say of the danger of admitting
the South to a tull participation in the
affairs OF the Government, and about
all that he is able to say on the sub
lect OF protecting II Industries. The
verdict pronounced against him has
been emphatic. He has been told that
he is not wanted. He has been fold
that his stories about the Southern peo-
pie are ISLANDERS, and if he had more
senslblllty and just a shade of personal
pride he would have quickly subsidized
when the fiat was pronounced against
him. Mr.. Blaine seems determined,
however, to leave nothing undone to
prove that he is entitled to contempt of
true friends of the Republic. His i'm
plicable speech may disturb anddisouiet
the poor negroes of the South, but the
country will see i'll it only the cowardly
rancor OF a defeated candidate and rele
gate 1t to the limbo of tin helmets,
~shr1velied plumes and other discarded
campaign properties.
