The flag that hOated over the COur-
Ter office last MOnday,-9enn Grants
SD biFthdAy,-was carried in Grants
army from Belmont to Vieksburg.
At that place Il was given 70 the edi-
tor Of this paper by the Company that
carried It. It was, In 1890, presented
by ladies Of OttumWa, Iowa, 70 q
company of home guards, which or
ganizatlOn, almost 10 q man, or boy,
enlisted in the ID Iowa in 1861. The
captain Of the home guards was one
George LaZWeli, whose wife made
the presentation speech, Lazwell
afterward left the nsrth and went 20
Arkansas, where he entered the Con-
federate army and became q bFigadier
general. 10 was the fortune OF this
writer to have that flag in his possess
ion when LazWell was captured at
Ft. Smith, Ark and brought into the
headquarters Ofthe regiment OF which
we were q member, and TO present to
his sight that same flag which he had
accepted In feFvelt and patriotic
speech when he was yet loyal man.
LazWell could not restrain tears &C
sight Of that old flag. It was q proud
moment for Us, 3 mere lad, TO carry
that flag In the old Ottumwa Home
Guards, having been appointed by
Capt. Lazwell as the color bearer Of
the company. It was 3 proud mo-
ment for US to show him that same
flag which he had deserted and to
which we had elung with more fer.
vency than ever we did TO hard
tack. The faithful old emblem has
been in our possession ever since lt
was presented to the home guard
company, one quarter Of q century
ago, and it has been hoisted on every
occasion Of victory for the Republi-
can party, that party that maintained
its purity ON every holiday, and now
Il has honOred the birthday of the
eminent soldier who has seen Il in his
own army. 1t has been riddlsd, tat
tered and torn, till Il is not more than
half its original size, but we shall
never add patch or strip TO 1t. 1t Is
q sacred piece Of bunting thst we ven-
erate, and Il shall never be lowered In
the face Of a rebel, as It never has
been.-BelOit Courier.

FERD. WARDS RELATIONS
With the Marine Bank Brought Out
i'm an Investigation by the
New York Senate COmmittee-Comp-
tr0IIer Grants FavOrittsm.

NEW YORK, October IA The committee
of the State Senate investigating the
municipal affairs of this city to-day ex-
amined the balance sheet of the Comp
troller's Office from January, 1884. 1t
showed the business relations of Grant &
Ward with the Marine Bank, and the
large preference shown during the admin
istration of Comptroller Grant to the
Marine Bank. 1t also showed that in 1884
the city transferred portion of its de-
posits from the Importers and Traders,
the regular bank of deposits, to the Marine
Bank. 1t is stated that the city had on
deposit at the time Of the failure of the
Marine Bank 81 800, 900.
Deputy Comptroller Storms stated to the
committee that the deposits were not
made by the City Chamberlain, but by
the heads of departments. The witness
did not know why Comptrolla- Grant
favored the Marine Ba-n with large de.
posits. "''N is'
isaac Barrett, a book-keeper in the
comptroller's office, testified tn having
eelled the comptroller's attention to the
Marna M1sraoeoiRRsritIy Rsnty large balances with the
have the deposits in the Marine Bank
made as large as possible at certain tiuaee,
and on one occasion had written letter.
The letter from Ward was as follows:
n MAY 8, 1884
DEAR Sal he'd talk with the Comptroller
about the bank balance yesterday and be said he
was perfectly agreeable to anything the chamber
lain did | am carrying some of the bonds
took yesterday in the Marine Bank, and [
want you, If possible, to put one -hundredth
or tEo-hundredth in the Marine Bank t. day,
till Wednesday, as | have paid on a lot of bonds
to be delivered on Monday. Let me know wbe =.
Sou ehh uo' tours' f. WARD.
Grant i Ward.
The handwriting of the letter indicated
great nervousness on the part of the
writer, which is not to be wondered, at SIS
the Marine Bank failed May 9th.
The committee sdi turned until to-mor-
rnW.
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1885-10-15

TURKEY refuses to su unit to the process
'of dismembefment initiated by the Rou-
|melians, and war seems imminent Princes
and people are greatly stirred by the pros
|pect, and they are counting on possible
for the extension of their
power and prestige. Turkey says the Rou.
|melians must remain her subjects, whereas
Bismarck says Bulgaria may, if SHE
chooses, incorporate them in her
p-inoipality. Servia and Greece, opposed
to this suggestion of the German Chancel
lor, declare that if it is permitted they
will have something to say, and will in
sist upon slices OF the sick mans terri
tory. And thus the matter stands, Russia
looming up in the background mensc-
ingly and threAteninely. If war ensues
she will reconcile the demands of Bulgs
ria and Greece, and it is said that,
preliminary to that step, Prince Waldemsr
of Denmark, brother of the King OF
Greece and brother-in-law of the Gar,
who is this month to wed the daughter oI
the head of the French BouIbons, will be
made klngiof Bulgaria in place of PdnC c
Alexander, who is to be deposed. Thus
Russia will Ieinitiate her historic purpose,
and prepare the way for an easy and un-
obstructed march for the occupation ol
