,| I Naturally enough a house which has pur-
Eased the independent course of Ketchum,

K icier of the feeling entertained by very
I. many people in tbe street may be inferred
I from that.
XHE CARD OF KETCHUM, SON & CO.
has provoked unfavorable criticism. It was
the theme of conversation in parlors and
brokers offices, at the Stock Board and
Gold Exchange. To many its terms were
incomprehensible. The columns of the
daily Journals lor the past six months have
frequently alluded to the enormous transac
tions of the house in terms sufficiently ex
plicit for the apprehension of those inter
ested, and the fact that Mr. Chas. Graham,
tbe recognized broker of the house, was in
the constant habit of turning over thousands
upon thousands of shares involving hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, goes far to es
tablish, by inference, the truth of the stock
dealing charge. A man who should have
grayeiy remarked a week since that Ketch
urn, Son & Cos. were not in the stock mar
ket, would be laughed at; and bad be as
serted that they were among tbe heaviest
jbperators, he would have been believed.
■ The course taken by tbe bouse has de
prived it, in a large measure, of the sympa
thy which would have been extended to it
under ordinary circumstances, and the un
satisfactory manner in which amounts and
facts are withheld from the public in do way
serves to alter the tone of sentiment.
In regard to the arrangements made for
the pursuit and
CAPTURE OF KETCHUM.
vre are not at liberty to give lull details, al
though we can state approximately the facts.
In the first place, there is no inducement of
fered for bis arrest. No rewards have been
offered by Morris Ketchum, Son & Cos., who
claim to have lost millions by bis fraud —this
is creditable to buman nature; no reward is
offered bv Charles Graham, & Cos., who claim
to have lost hundreds of thousands, of dol
lars—this is explainable, possibl&ou the
ground of friendship, possibly of Interest.
No one else has any reason to desir ; bis pur
suit and arrest, If Ketchum Senior will
MAKS GOOD TBE LOSSES,
bat if not, and we have had nothing Iron
him which would indicate so fatherly and
unselfish a determination, why do not the
banks which have suffered to the extent of
595,000, and tbe house in Exchange-place
which has lost SIOO,OOO by his operations, of
fer a reward ?
So far as we can learn, Mr. Edward Ketch
um was no fool. He had lived in New York
all bis life. He was brought up in a school
where he learned smartness as a trade, and
he graduated at a house whose reputation in
that line is among tbe foremost. Why, then,
are we treated to such a sublime three as the
mission of the
POLICE OFFICERS TO BOSTON ?
They “thought perhaps Ketcbum would
take the Asia, which sailed on Wednesday
thence to Europe.” What ineffable non
sense. They might as well think to find him
astraddle on the cross above Trinity Cburcb.
Officers are in New Haven, Springfield, Chi
cago, Washington, Portland and Canada, but
the New York detectives have not been put
on the track in|thiß city, and we don't believe
they will be. The universal opinion among
thinking men on the street is that Ketcbum
has not left the city. This would of course
Involve the friends with whom he bides ;
quite likely. If Ketchum bad $60,000 with
him, New York is his place for two months to
come; if by that time tbe checks are made
jood, withdrawn and destroyed, what proof
a there against him ? None; and why, then,
should he go away —cui bono ?
We have traced many rumors to their sour
ces, and find them absurd. A
FEW CORRECTIONS
will better inform tbe public :
1. It is said that Ketchum was a pious and
remarkably good man.
He was not what is in slang phrase a pious
man. He was devoted to money-making ;
thought of but little else, devoted his time
and talents to that end, and with his small
vices the world has naught to do. He was
neither better nor worse than the majority of
men, detected or undetected, on Wall or
other streets.
2. He is reported to have written a long
and touching letter to his father, confessing
everything, explaining all his forgeries and
frauds, and advising him what he would bet
ter do.
Tbis is an insult to Mr. Morris Ketchum.
No such letter was written ; had there been,
Mr. Ketchum’s subsequent conduct and as
sertions would by no means parallel with
those of an innocent man.
3. Tbe story about his going up Wall-street
with bis arms loaded with greenbacks, about
a friend playfully abstracting a package, and
his badinage about tbe trifling amount, is re
duced to the moderate proportions of the re
collection of a customer who saw him stand
ing on the corner of Wall and Broad streets
at 10:30 in the morning.
4. It has been truthfully stated that Charles
Graham & Cos. paid ou presentation $285,000
of the forged gold checks on Monday, and
that Edward Ketchum gave them on that
morning $250,000 to do it with. The public
viewed this transaction with some distrust,
and we deem it due to the bonoraole name of
Mr. Graham to record the facts, as drawn
from him in a conversation yesterday at 4
o'clock, in Wall-street.
Times —Mr. Graham, you paid $285,000 of
these forged checks on Monday. We know
that Edward Ketchum drew a check for
SBOO,OOO bstore he went off; did he give you
the money to pay those checks with '!
Mr. Graham—He gaze me no money, but
as was his constant custom he gave me a
check with which to meet his obligations.
The check was for $250,000. I deposited it
and drew against it. But what do you think
is the result ? Morris Ketchum
REFUSES TO HONOR THE CHECK,
and I find it thrown out by bis bank, return
ed to my bank, and I am notified of the over
drawing ot my account to that amount. It
Is a most extraordinary and cruel business.
The check was drawn by Morris Ketch
um, Son & Cos. before they suspended, was
received by me in good faith, deposited in
bank, drawn against, and passed to the bank
where Ketchum, Son & Cos. deal. It seems
rather hard that I should have to suffer to
this extent in addition to what I have already
borne.
So much for that story.
6. As aa evidence of Ketchum’s shrewd
ness, it was stated that he had carried off or
destroyed the check-book, and that, as all
the checks were probably used, tbe forgery
would amount to at least $2,500,000.
The fact is, that tbe book was found at an
early hour at Ketchum’s house. To ail in
tents and purposes the book belonged to
Edward Ketcbum, although Mr. Graham's
check had paid tor it. There were only
THERE HUNDRED AND FIFTY CHECKS
used, each being for $6,000, making a grand
(and awful) total of one million seven hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars. Os this the
following amounts are already accounted
for:
The Fourth National Bank has 1260,000
The Importers’ Bank ,has 336,000
An Exchange-street home 100,000
Total.- $696,000
Other cautious and well-managed Institu
tions down-town have 360,000
Total $1,046,000
Mr. Graham baz paid up 285,000
The balance was doubtless taken up by Ed
ward Kstchum, In tne normal course of
his business 420,000
Which makes the grand total $1,750,000
THE HISTORY OF THE BOOK
has been partially given in the statement of
Mr. Leverich, President of the Bank of New
York, (copied, mistakes and all, by the Her
ald, Tribune, Sun and evening papers,) but
in connection with the facts given, to-day, it
will bear repetition. In June last Ketchum
was introduced at the bank of Mr. . He
said be wanted to open an account in tbe
name of Charles Graham, paid SI,OOO for the
privilege, and received a book ot checks,
whose numbers are given in Wednesday’s
Times. On these checks Ketchum has torged
the names of divers parties, borrowed money
by the use of them, and involved himself and
others in ruin. When the matter was de
tected a search was tuade for the book. Mr.
Graham’s office was looked through, but no
book could be found. Mr. Ketchnm’s office
was examined, but do book could be discov
ered , the amount of the forgeries and the
extent of the swindling could only he known
by an examination ol tbe book, and umil it
turned up the public, at least, were in tbe
dark. At last
it is FOUND.
Where ? Straoge to say at Ketchum* house.
How came It there? When was it taken
from the office? Why wasu't it missed, and
if missed no notice taken of it ? Gold check
books can only be had by the payment of
$1,000; and although we are aware that
fl,ooo is but a flea-bite to such great finan
ciers, it seems just a wee bit queer that this
book should have found its way so very qui
etly to MadUon-avenue, and that it should
relit (here in spite of all the talk and worry
about it, until yesterday. However, the fact
is, it did rest until Mr. Hiram Ketchum found
it and brought it down town. He took it to
Mr. Graham who declined to acknowledge
it as his, and it was then taken to Mr. Leve
rich, the President of tbe batik on which the
checks were drawn. What was taken and
what remained is told above.
THE EFFECT
upon Ketchum, Son & Cos., as developed
yesterday, is disastrous. What it will be
eventually when the storm of excitement has
passed, is another question. Thus far the
case sums up as thus: y u ft U.
1. They have loat in stolen securities be
tween •2,000,000 and •3,000,000.
g. They have suspended payment, and all
opcriiiottft*

Proceedings were commenced.
IN THE SUPREME COURT
yesterday by Mr. Graham, who was repre
sented in the person of his assignee, David
Groesbeck, by Messrs. Mann & Parsons
These gentlemen moved for an at'achment
against the property of Edward B. Ketchum;
the motion being made in accordance with
the statute of the Stale providing for the pro
tection of creditors against absconded or con
cealed debtors. Mr. David Groesbeck made
the following
AFFIDAVIT,
after which Justice Sutherland granted the
motion.
David Gioesbeck, the plaintiff herein, being
duly sworn, doth depose and say that Edw.
B. Ketchum, the above-named defendant, is
indebted to the above-named plaintiff in tbe :
sum of SIOO,OOO, as deponent is informed and {
verily believes, and that the ground! of the
plaintiff's claims are as fol ows, to wit: That
said detendant, on the 15th day of August
inst., was indebted to the firm of Charles I
Graham & Cos., composed of Charles Graham
and George W. Van Loan, with said sum of
SIOO,OOO and upward, for money paid, laid
out and expended by said firm on or about
tbe 14th day of said August, to and for the
use of said Edward B. Ketchum and at bis
request; and the plaintiff further savs that
on said 15th day of August the said Graham
and Van Loan sold and assigned the said
debt on demaud for valuable consideration
to the plaintiff, who is now the owner there
of.
And this deponent further says that the
defendant has absconded and departed from
this State with intent to defraud his creditors
or keeps himself concealed therein, with like
intent; that said Ketchum, on said 14th day
of August, alter contracting large debts, and
committing numerous and extensive frauds
and forgeries, (as deponent is informed and
verily lielieveß), suddenly absconded and
left his usual places of business and resi
dence, and has remained absent or secreted
ever since. DeponeDt is unable to state
positively whether he has left the State, but
is informed and believes that he has left it to
avoid his creditors and tbe consequences of
said crimes, and gone to Boston.

SPAIN IN TROUBLE.
Threatened Revolution—General Prim in
Madrid Preparing for Action—Strong
Republican Feeling Among the Offi«er«
of the Array, die., die.
[Correspondence of tlie New York Herald.]
Paris, August 4, 1865.
I have private information from Spain
which leads me to anticipate a grave politi
cal convulsion, and perhaps a revolution in
that country very soon.
The Queen, who hates her present Prime-
Minister, Maishal O'Donnell, only accepted
him as a pis alia-, because she had arrived at
the conviction that the intelligent part of
her subjects would no longer put up with
Narvaez, and she feared a revolution from
one hour to another. Narvaez well knew
that General Prim was conspiring against
him, and that was the reason why he sum
moned him.to appear at Madrid. Agin knew
better than to obey the summon!;' and the
first act of ODonnell's ministry was to can
cel it. Thereupon Prim,seeing the radical
change in the situation, at once left Paris for
9pain. where he now is, and preparing to
play a great game. O’Donnell, by recogni
zing Italy, emancipating tbe press and many
other liberal measures, besides still more nu
merous liberal professions, has bid high for
the support of the progressists against the
clericals; but, according to my letters, which
come from a thoroughly reliable source, he
has not bid high enough, and the progressists
have resolved to get power into their own
hands.
I have little doubt that within a fortnight
demonstrations will take place simultane
ously in most of the principal tonws of Spain
which O’Donnell will not be strong enough
to repress. He fancies that he i9 mastei of
the army, but he is not. In Spain It is among'
the upper classes, which supply the officers
of the army, that republican sentiments pre
vail. Tbe lower orders, in general, are con
tented enough to obey the priests and civil
powers that be. The upper classes are now
bent upon a revolution, and I have reason to
think tbe time is at band when they will
achieve their object.
Prim is at present tbe leader of the move
ment, but it is quite possible that, as it goes
on, he may be supplanted by somebody of
more advanced ideas. Prim is a roan of
energy and ability—far superior to Espar
tero, who has been greatly overrated. Es
partero’s name will, however, probably be
put forward as what the French call a
drapeau, and Prim may very likely acknowl
edge him as his nominal chief, but in reality
be will only make use of him. Olozaga, a
very honest liberal, and hitherto considered
a very advanced one, will be one of tbe lead
ers ot tbe pronunciamento, unless, indeed,
he should hang back on the ground of Us
beiDg too radical even for him; of which I
am told there is some chance.
I think it very doubtful whether the Bour
bon dynasty in Spain will survive this year.
San Domingo.
PROPOSAL TO CEDE THR 19LAND TO ENGLAND —A
NEW CONSUL GENERAL APPOINTED, ETC.
[From the Paris Patrte of August 3.)
A serious event has occurred at San Do
mingo. After the signing of the treaty be
tween tbe provisional government and tbe
general commanding the Spanish forces the
House of Representatives was convened, and
at the second day's session Mr. George Hen
necken, the Vice President of the govern
ment, an Englishman by birth, although re
sident here for over twenty years, put a mo
tion proposing to transfer the Island to Eng
land. The proposal was taken into consi
deration and a committee ot three members
appointed to examine and report upon the
motion.
W« believe that the English government
has had nothing to do with the project, and
that England never dreamed ot taking pos
session of ’he Dominican territory recently
evacuated by Spain; but we cannot refrain
from remarking that Mr. Hood, formerly her
Britanic Majesty’s Consul General at San
Domingo, where he made himself public by
preaching annexation to England, has re
cently been reappointed -to bis old position.
