Mr. ■ Ketcbum, Sr., is, and always has been a ■bard man to deal with ; his natural bias ■is toward self-interest, and money bas been ■with bim not only an object of search and ■labor, but when gained a weapon of power. ■Many stories are of course revived at such a Bime as tbis, of which the famous Mariposa ■case is a fair specimen. The testimony in Bbu case, which was spread before the pub ■Sic in the columns of the Times, will be read | fly recalled by our readers, and in the char- 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* 3, They have assigned their property to SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1865. P. C. Calhoun, President of the Tenth Na tioual Bank, and E. Bement, a former part ner of Morris Ketchum, Jr., for the benefit of their creditors. 4 The balances due their creditors, main ly New England Banks, amount to the tre mendous sum of $3,500,000. 5. They have published a remarkable card in which they have given the public an Idea of their business, which differs materially from the idea previously entertained. 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.

Ketchum, Son & Cos., we are in formed, and other parties, made similar mo tions, and the warrants were issued in favor of all.

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.
