PRESENT STATUS OF THE GRANT TRUST
FUND.
The Tribune will publish tomorrow a
statement of the present status of the
trust fund raised by the citizens of New
York for Gen. Grant several years ago.
After telling how, at the suggestion of
the late Gov. Morgan, S188,O0O of the
fund was invested in Wabash railroad
frst-mortgage seven per cent. bonds,
which were then considered as
good as governments, Gov. Morgan
guaranteeing them and undertak-
ing to make both principal and
interest good out of his own private for
tune in case the interest should be de-
faulted for six months. The Tribune
says: What six months ago seemed an
almost impossible contingency, will prob
ably become fact within few days.
On August 1st the interest on the bonds
In question will be six months in.
arrears, and it is probable that Gov. Nor
gan's executors will, in accordance with
his guaranty, pay over to the trustees of
the fund the princi pal and interest. Only
one question remains TO be settled 1t
has been suggested 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 Gen. Grant
and his family, there would technically
be no default, and, therefore, the Morgan
estate would not be liable for the princi-
pal. Whatever course Gov. Morgan, if
alive, would have pursued under these
circumstances, his executors are bound
in law to be governed by the exact legal
Interpretation of his written guaranty
The whole question of the liza
bility at the present juncture of the
executors under the testator's guaranty
has been referred to lawyer, who will
examine the point at once and give his
opinion within few days. In the mean
time, there is reason to believe that on
August 1st the guaranty will be carried
cut, and the SlS5, 900, with the arrears of
interest, will be paid to the treasurer of
the fund"

JACKSON, July 4-The difficulty be-
tween II. C. Fairman, editor of the Ian
tern, and Messrs. Jones S. Hamilton ard
James A. Hoskins, occasioued by re-
cent publication in the Lantern relative
to the alleged arrearage due the State by
the two last named gentlemen rs peni-
tentiary lessees, has been amicably and
honorably settled by the interposition of
leading citizens. Hamilton and Hoskins
temporarily withdrew their denunciation
of Fairman in order to give him an op-
portunity of explaining. His explap alton
was in effect that the offensive allegations
in the publication alluded to were not
based upon his own knowledge, but upon
information which he believed to be
true, which, upon investigation, he found
to be incorrect, and offered amends for
its publication. The explanation was
accepted by Hamilton and Hoskins, and
all offensive language used By them
towards Fairman in their card in the
Clarion of the 22d instant, was freely
withdrawn. The Lantern to- day pub
fishes the correspondence.
