Ex Governor Benjamin +. Butler said 10 .

Grant knew nothing whatever about the
workings of the firm Of Grant & Ward in
which he WAS partner. While agree tina.
it seems almost impossible that be should
not have known, yet still ! believe that
be did not. and there is one piece VI
evidence which is controlling in my mind
on that point IL be had known about the
workings Of the firm, he would have known
pretty well its condition. Now, that Monday
morning be went up and borrowed SIS, 900
from William II. Vanderbilt, and came down
and gave i; TO the firm. II be had known the
condition Of things, be would have known
that this amount was only q drop in the

Gen. Gran, has many admirable qualities,
but he is not q good business man, and his

How Important are discoveries
made by Lieutenant Greedy?
Fro the poit of view of an arctic
geogrsphsr, they sre of first class
Importance. Lieutenant Greedy has
not only tssen away from Com
mander Markham OF the British
navy the blue ribbon of Arctic dis
covery, fof the highest latitude
ever attained in any part
of the world, but he has
gyealg extended the limits OF
Mares explorations both in Green
land and GrinneIl Land. The fact
thst two of Greely's sledge parties
were stopped by open water in the
Plat sea. and that botn were at
times sdrft in strong currents

he 'pessly say TO the ntrthwarG,
would seem TO show that the polar
basis is not the solid sea nf ancient
lmmoyable ice which Mares de
sc ibed, and which he declared was
never navigable.
Lieutenant Greely's explorations
extended over three degrees of lati-
tude and nearly forty degrees Of
longitude. He has virtually ascer,
tanned the true outlins of Grennell
land, has crossed it from east to
west and on the northern coast OF
Greenland has gone on one degree
OF latitude and ten degrees of longi
tude beyond the farthest point
reached by Captain Mares accom-
plished sledging officer Lieutenant
Beaumont. These achievements
alone TT feet the highest credit upon
Lieutenant Greedy and his men, but
to this must of course be added the
great mass of soientif; knowledge
gathered by the party during their
two years at Lady Frsnklyn Bay.

retention could therefore only be
