UGLY FACTS.

The following will appear in the Tribune
tomorrow morning: 'EThe facts which
are gradually leaking out regarding the
operations and business methods of the
suspended firm of Grant & Ward, whose
collapse was cOincIdent with that of the
Marine National Bank on Tuesday. ex-
hibit the condition of the house in even a
worse light than has been generally imag-
ined. Not only are they known to have re-
hypothecated securities lodged with them
on loans by several railroad companies,
but they have obtained larger advances
on some of these collaterals than the
amount they had advanced. The best in
formation now puts their gross liabilities
at not far from $4,000, 900. No estimates
can be made of their assets, exclusive of
the loans made on the securities they
have repledged. No statement is yet OBJ
tainable respecting the condition of the
Marine Bank, and the prospect of final
payment to the depositOrs Will be a mere
matter of guess work until the bank
examiner reports"
An enormous amount of unsecured liza
bilities of the firm exist, comprising notes
and simple receipts for money received
for speculation.
The story told regarding the operations
of the firm is as follows: The firm started
with the prestige of Gen. Grants name to
aid the members in securing capital and
in inspiring confidence in their
ability and position. Actual money
was raised on notes that the
ex-President and James d. Fish had
indorsed. To what extent the RESPONSE
bility of the conduct of affairs rests on
MIR. Fish, and upon Mr.. Ward entirely.
cannot be learned. 1t is not believed that
Gen. Grant or U. S. Grant, -Jr., paid close
attention to the details. The copartner-
ship agreement provided that each men,
Der could withdraw $4,000 a month,
it is said, that the profits above
that sum being retained as capital.
Neither of the Grants is believed to have
paid closer attention to the details than
the regular drawing of his allowance.
The scheme carried out to obtain
most of the funds was based
upon advances made by the firm to
contractors for Indian and other supplies
to the government, the firm taking assign
ments of claims, and collecting on them
when the contracts were approved in the
regular cOurseIOf government procedure.
By representations respecting these con-
tracts heavy sums were obtained on
notes or receipts given by the firm.
High rates of interest were paid. and
for 0uly few months. Confidence in the
house, however, caused many to let their
money be unclaimed for a long time.
1t Is stated on good authority that there
are outstanding nearly 81, 900, 600 of these
unsecured obligations held between two
individuals. 1t is said that the liabilities
Of this character will amount to about
$5,000,000.

bury, of Cleveland, Tenn, conduc-
ted for US at the Baptist church, a
most successful protracted meet
ing, having left on Friday last. 1t
is but justice to him and the com
munity, as he intends continue
ton of his preaching in different
parts OF the state, to say Of him
that he is one Of the most remark
able Divines and successful
preachers thatever passed through
this section. In the beginning of
his discourse he stated that he
would offend none by unreasona-
bic and offensive attacks upon
them and that the great and mys-
terious questions of the Bible, in
capable of being understood and
involving only metaphysical rea-
soning, sinking the minds of men
into deeper confusion and greater
doubt, would be left out of his dis
courses, and that he would only
deal with revealed things and
leave Gods unsolyed mysteries to
God.
AS a result Of this line he. was
one of the plainest, clearest and
most convincing men we ever lis
tened to from the pulpit, appeal
ing absolutely to nothing but the
reason Of men, he succeeded in
bringing good and influential men
into the church, who perhaps,
would not have yielded to any
other mans logic conducted upon
different line. He seems to have
most wonderful store of informa-
ton as regards Divine truth and
is one of the most forcible, plausi-
bic and convincing of speakers.
Under his preaching a large num-
Der joined the church. The cause
Of religion was never so greatly
revived in our midst, no man was
ever more highly appreciated by
our people or even enjoyed in a
higher degree their respect and
confidence. He left here for
Dawson. We commend him to
her people and to all others where
ever he may 60.

1t would take two brass bands
and twenty steam engines to keep
the ''rosy Lochrane" in position,
and then they might fail. An
1rishman by birth, an American
by adoption, Georgian by educa-
ton, pupil of eleemosynary pro-
lection, so to speak, and a grown
man honored by Georgians in
places where fame and money most
do congregate-he raises his hand
with a dagger therein, to kill the
people that protected and taught
him, and the very rights his native
land has SO long fought for and
thereby endorsed the worst of
slavery. Yet, with all this lust
censure and criticism, the writer
of the lines above, loves the man.
He is gentleman. His pocket
and purse have been opened wide
whenever a genuine case of charity
or all object worthy of benevolent
consideration was presented. He
is a good man-lovable man-but
his politics. Great Scott!

How PRAYER WAS ANSWERED: In
his Sunday morning prayer a
Wisconsin minister prayed the
Lord that such of his congregation
as were specializing in wheat
might be brought to a realizing
sense Of their iniquity by losing
heavily. During the next week
wheat dropped nine cents per
bushel, and twenty-three members
of the congregation had such cold
feet that they couldn't stand still.
The week after that there was a
meeting of the congregation to see
about raising the minister's salary
and the result Of the meeting was
to cut it down from $500 per
annum to $500. As one of the
kickers answered in explanation:
ave had them Milwaukee chaps
right by the short hair, and this
Teller had to jump in and request
the Lord to knock US endways. If
he wants more than $500 a year.

The Monroe Doctrine.

In some remarks recently made
by US, we would not have it un-
derstood that we're opposed to cul,i
waiting a policy that would unite
all the nations upon the American
continent, in the deepest and most
intimate commercial and political
sympathies. There is in South
America an Empire, that Of Bra
iii. If any State i'll South Ameri-
ca should prefer a monarchical
form OF government, we haye no
right to interpose objection to it.
We have alluded to Brazil and we
may add that between that coun-
try and the United States, there
exists the most friendly and cordi-
al relations, in no little degree
promoted by our late distinguished
Minister to that country, the Hon
Henry ". billiard. If a foreign
power were to undertake to con-
quer South American state, to
overthrow its free institutions, and
establish a despotic and arbitrary
government in its stead, we believe
1t would be our duty to resist it.
That would be in accordance with
the Monroe doctrine. SO would it
be to resist the efforts of Europe
all governments to overthrow re-
publican institutions anywhere in
Central or South America, to Gre
ate powers to antagonize the free
institutions of the United States.
We make this brief explanation
lest some views,recently expressed
may be misunderstood, and we do
SO the more readily from the fact,
that our country, more extensive
than the old Roman Empire, with
now, nearly sixty millions Of in
habitants, and increasing in popu-
lation with great rapidity, could
check such foreign attempts by it's
powerful republican mandate.
without resort to arms. In a
single century, our population in
creased from three millions to fifty
millions, and If it should increase
in the same proportion in another
century, we would have a popula-
ton of one hundred millions. ~
Such power, with even common
intrepidity and vigor, could die
tate its policy for this whole CONT
nent and command obedience. 1t
would be presumptious as yet to
issue an ipse dixit commanding
the worlds obedience. We have
ever desired that our country
would be model for the worlds
imitation, and for that reason we
have hoped that ON the strength
of its captivating principles, its
maxims of justice and freedom,
the whole race Of man would be
regenerated and emancipated in
the course of time. The dogmas,
of violence and terror, must be
overthrown, and it can only be
done by example. Let us feel the
weight of the glorious mission
confded to us in our great expert
ment to give freedom and justice
to all the nations of the earth.

Mrs. Francis Stegall, aged 20
years, died in Goose Creek Town
ship, near Monroe, N. c., a few
days ago. On her death-bed she
confessed having murdered her
husband by pouring moulten lead
in his ear. 80 years ago her hus-
band, while on a drunken spree
died suddenly, but no foul play
was ever suspected. None Of the
old residents had ever heard Of any
suspicious circumstances in con

confession to a clergyman.

WHO CAN TELL?-Some years
ago there was young man ply ST.
clan in Texas who was loved by all
on account Of his gentle, loving dis
position. Among his more hum
ble, but not less devoted admirers
was a mocking bird that had been
born and raised in his garden. The
bird took the greatest fancy to
him, and when he returned home
in the evening 1t would hop round
his front steps and then fiy to q
tree near by and sing for hours at
time. The bird appeared to be
in an ecstacy of delight, whenever
the doctor was at home. Finally
the yellow fever broke out here, and
among others, the doctor was
stricken down. He fingered for
long days and then died. Son tho
night before his death the watch
ers by his bedside had their atten-
tion attracted by the mournful, sob
bing notes that the "doctor's bird"
Gas they called it uttered through
out the night. The next day the
doctor died, and that night the
bird was silent. After the funeral
the family opened the room to air
it, and when the bed was drawn
aside the first thing seen was the
mocking bird lying at the head of
the bed, dead. How it got there

judge William Carter, Of Sheb-
oygan, and Judge Casweil Marks,
ofSelma, were both natives Of Lex
ington, Ky. In boyhood they had
jammed the same cats head into
the same milk pitcher, stolen
peaches from the same tree, got
trounced by the same farmers,
were otherwise enviously intimate
friends, afterwards chums at col
lege and then errand boys in the
same Office. Later in life they
parted and rose to sublime honors
in their seperate places. Last Jan
uary they met for the first time
since their parting, i'm Lexington,
and brewed a convival bowl in
honor Of the event. About mid
night, full Of affection and enthu-
siasm, they retired in the same
bed. 1t was a huge affair, stand
ing in the middle Of the room and
capable Of being drawn up by ropes
to the ceiling WHILE, the room was
being cleaned. 1t was very cold
night and they placed their cloth
ing upon the foot Of the bed. Just
after they fell asleep four friends
entered softly, drew the bed by the
ropes nearly to the ceiling, and left
them thus suspended about ten
feet from the floor. They then
locked the door outside and retir-
ed.
At3amJ Judge Carter woke with
that species Of thirst which usual
ly comes after Kentucky punch and
technically known as hot coppers.'
Leaping lightly out Of bed 70 get
the ice pitcher, he went whirling
down ten feet, alighting with q
soul-stirring thump on all fours.
There was a long and painful
pause. Then he peered up and
through the darkness and called:
"Casswell?'
(No repiy.)
"Oh, Casswcll"
(Feeble cries.
"Caz!"
"Eh?-um?-what?' The Judge
was awakening.
"Tve fallen through trap!" yell
led the now frightened Judge, get
up and light a candle y
"Where are YOU? asked Judge
Carter, sleepily, framing his opin-
ion that his honorable brother was
drunk.
"Down here; fell through a trap!
Don't get out on my side of the
bed?"
"All right !" And Judge Marks,
springing out on his own side, turn
ed three somersaults and landed on
his back. Both were now convinc-
cd that they were in a bad den Of
thieves, and perhaps would be nnr
dered. The jokers had closed the
heavy wooden shutters SO that no
light could enter, and removed the
furniture.
