Pardise valley, was not written on that

the Enterprise we will wager stock of

the programme was carried out to the
letter. Motions were made and carried

Making Gen. Grant Safe.


IfGeneral Grant is placed on the
army retired list, will it keep him out
of mischief? All the influences of
dignity of station and a sufficient pro.
vision for life have signally failed to
do this. He had saved a handsome
sum from his doubled presidential
salary, and had received valuable
gifts when his second term expired.
He could have lived comfortably on
what he had. The subscribed fund
of S250,00 was to furnish him a
handsome income in order to keep
him out of politics and make him live
as an ex-president should. Yet his
procliyity for the company of the rich
and his righteousness drew him into
Wall Street. where he stood as steer.
er and stool:pigeon for the most stu =
pendOus swindling ever carried on
in America.
This is not the first time he has
been used for crooked operations that
precipitated a crisis in Wall street.
He has a proclivity for such use.
Gould and Fisk secured his coopera-
ton for their gold corner operation
which made the Black Friday. AT
their instance he wrote Secretary
Boutwell,, instructing him to sell no
more government gold, but to let the
gold market take its course. This
locked up the treasury gold, which
Gould and Fisk wanted for their cor
ner. To be used twice to promote
colossal swindling operations which

makes him greater as Il tinancier than
as general.
He was used also by the big ring
of revenue officers for stealing the
whiskey revenue. He will carry to
the army roll the disgrace of this
Grant d Ward swindle, which was
carried on wholly on the credit of his
name. Will that provision keep him
out Of mischief, and make him be-
have as BELTS the dignity of the army
rank and of the station Of an ex>pres-
ident? Or will he try to reconp in
Wall street, and be used again? Some
means should be taken to guarantee
that if the government adds $4,000
to his $4,000 income, because he
has been used to swindle others out
OF their fortunes, he shall be kept out

A Washington special says that a
man who saw Gen. Grant last week
declares that he is utterly broken
down by the disclosures which have
followed the failure of the firm in
which he was interested, and that the
shock has shortened his life by ten
years. He talks freely about it to
his personal friends, but keeps him>
self secluded, and fears he has lost
the respect and confidence of the coun-
try. The General admits that some
of his friends came to him months
ago and warned him that Ward was
an adventurer, and was using his
name in an improper way, but his
confidence in the young man was so
great that he repulsed them, and
thinks he may have treated some of
them coolly. He is said to be so sensi>
tive about the matter that he does
not read the newspapers, and knows
bnt little Of the magnitude of the
failure or the extent of Wards fraud.

The Grant~W failure in New

throughout the country, and the more
the subject is ventilated the worse it
looks for the ex.President and his
sons. The evidence indicates that
the Grants are either ignoramuses or

the latter, they should suffer the full
