A FEELING AGAINST NEW YORK.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 24.-The Re-
publican will say tomorrow: "The country
will share the sentiment of the people OF
Washington in regard to the great Captains
burial place. The fitting spot for the rest
of the Nation hero is in the Nations Cap
itol. New York has shown a greed after
one more show for the hurrying populace
and the family OF General Grant have
weakly and hastily yielded to it, without |
OF his countrymen."
THE GRANT FUND.
New YORK, July 24.-The Tribune will |
publish Tomorrow the statement OF the |
present statutes Of the Trust fund raised |
by the citizens OF New York for General
Grant several years ago. After telling |
ernor Morgan, $188, 900 of the fund was
invested in Wabash Railroad first mort
gage OF forty-cent bonds, which was then
considered as good as Governments Gov
ernOr Morgan guaranteeing them and un-
dertaking to make both principal and in
terdst good oat- of his own private fortune
in case the interest should be defaulted for six
months. The Tribune says what six
months ago seemed almost impossible on
any contingency, Will probably become
fact within a few days. On August LIST
the interest on the bonds in question will
be six months in arrear, and it is probable
that Governor Morgan's executors will, in
with his guarantee, pay over to
the trustees OF the fund the principal and
interest. Only one question remains to be
1t is that if the executors OF
the Morgan estate lend to the railroad the
money wherewith to pay the interest on
the bonds held in trust for General Grant
and his family, there would techni-
cally be a default, and therefore the
Morgan estate would not be liable for
whatever course Governor Nor
gan, if alive, would have pursued under the
his executors are bound in
law to be governed by the exact legal in
OF his written guaranty. The
whole question OF the executors liability
at the present juncture has been referred to
a lawyer who will give his opinion in a few
days. Meantime there is reason to believe
that on August 1st the guaranty will be
carried out and the $1S8, 900, with arrears
Of interest, will be paid to the treasurer OF
The fund.
