Considerable discomfort exists among them

GEN. GRANTS TROUBLES.
A Movement to Raise Money to Pay the
Vanderbilt Debt.
NEW YoRk Dec %

NEW YORK, Dec. %.
Friends of Gen. Grant said last night that
the general was very sick He has throat
trouble that prevents him from smoking, and
he is still greatly depressed over the failure
of the house of Grant & Ward.
A movement was put on foot in New York
Saturday TO raise money to pay the Sl6O 900
for which judgment has been entered against
him in favor of VIM. II. Vanderbilt. Mr.
Vanderbilt offered $50, 900, pro .ided that the
friends of Gen. Grant can raise the other
$1,000 Gen. Sherman at once started for
Philadelphia and Washington to appeal to
Geo. w. Childs, A. j. Drexel and Others.
Hamilton Fish has been appealed TO at Cyrus
Fields suggestion, to prepare subscription
list for fund to meet Gen. Grants debt 10
VIM. Fl. Vanderbilt. Executions have been
taken out, it is announced, under the judg-
ment against Gen. Grant, which was recently
filed by consent. The executions cover all
of the generals property. including his houses
in Washington and Philadelphia, his S95 200
farm near Chicago, and all the swords and
medals he received from Congress, together
with the gold casket containing the freedom
of London, his Arabian horses and all his
presents from Potentates and others.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20,
A. j. Drexel and Geo. w. Childs. friends
of Gen Grant here and others in New York
city in consultation with Gen. Sherman, are
taking effectual measures to protect Gen.
Grants personal effects and for their preserv-
alton to him. There are legal aspects of the
case that will have to be considered by them.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 49,
Senator Sherman told Republican re-
porter tonight that he had received a letter
from his brother, Gen. Sherman, in which
the latter incidentally conveyed information
that Gen. Grant was in financial distress.
The Senator said that he thought Vanderbilt
had taken the course he had in this matter to
help Gen Grant save his property, which
would, he thought, be bought in by some
friend or friends and held for Gen. Grants
benedt. He said he didn't think Vanderbilt
would have the heart to sacrifice Gen. Grants
property or that he would dare to in the face
of public opinion. The senator also expressed
his sympathy with Gen. Grant in his fnan-
cial troubles. and his regret at the latter's
unfortunate venture in business.

EQUAL RIGHTS.
Believed That Husband and Wife MAY
be a Firm.

NEwBURG N. Y, Dec. 30.
Justice Brown of the Supreme Court has
just rendered an interesting and important
decision, which the lawyers have been look
ing for with great anxiety. The question at
issue is whether husband and wife are au-
thorized by the statutes of the State of New
York to form business partnership, and
whether contracts entered into in the conduct
of such business, are enforcible against the
wife. 1t is a question that the court of ap-
peals has never decided in the State, nor has
the general court ever passed upon it. jus
tice Brown holds that the courts Of the State
of New York have settled the question that
wife may not only contract co-partnership
with person other than her husband, and
carry on business as a member of such firm
but that with reference to her separate es-
tate, she can contract with her husband same
as if she were femme sole, and he thinks
that it of necessity follows that husband
and wife have capacity to enter into a con-
tract of co-partnership for the purpose of
of carrying on trade or business, and that
contracts made by such firm are enforceable
against the wife's estate.
