He said it would prove detrimental to the very object for which the society was organized. The society is a historical one, and its name is known far and near. Why should it be changed? Do delegates coining from the Soutli ask tortile change? The freedman's schools are open to every one. Tlic freeilmen are in the church to stay, and do not intend to be driven out. They have Southern hotels in tiie South, Southern railroads, Southern ku-klux. They did not want any Southern F'rcedinan's Aid Society.

Davies, as signee of Grant -k Ward, is bnsily en gaged in straightening out the complicated affairs of the firm. The statement of the firm's affairs, he said, would not be ready until some day next week. Ferdinand Ward visited the office and has been in consultation with Daviesall day. Wm. C. Smith, the stock exchange member of the firm, said: “I do not think the amount ot the liabilities wiU reach $8/100,000. The railroad companies which received loans on securities which have been transferred to other perrons, are amply protected and will lose nothing. The loeses will fell chiefly upon |(ndividaals who have invested money with the firm. This business wu conducted by Ward. Of courts Gen. Orant and his ion have known of these transactions, but I do not think they were fully aware of the luge amount 1 ivoived. They have been led on by Ward, and will of course loro very heavily. I cannot give you the names of any Individual losers, for I do not know them.” Col. Frederick Orant said; ”1 have lost turned over all my claims against the firm to Mr. McXamee, my assignee. I bare done this in order to get matters rottlad up, so I may do something else. I cannot lav what the amount of my claim is. All I had wu Investad with the Arm, and I an I now In search of a lob. I do not know whether I shall remain in Wall street or not,or what line of business I shall go Into, lam looking forwnirtliing to do. I cannot sar whether I will go Into buaineu for my self. That will depend on whether or not ijrthingia saved from the wreck.” Mr. McXamee, the uslgnee of Frederick Orant and of Jesse Grant, said he would have to wait a day or two, until the state ment of the affaire of Orant A Ward had been prepared. When this wu ready, he would be in a position to intelligently begin the work of itraightening out the affaire of General Grant Tiie Marine National Bank hu begun suit againat Ferdinand Ward, to recover “OO.IIUU, the amount of over drafts paid out >y the bank on Ward's account and an at tachment in this suit wu granted against the house and personal property of Ward at 81 Pierepont street, Broakljm, and a '.eputy aherlffisln poirossion.

It is my belief they will ex ceed ten million dollar*. When tiie failure wu announced I said that it would be the large*! one that Wall street ever saw. and I am more firmly convinced than ever of the truth of that estimate. What the assets will be, no one ran uy, but they will probably he very "mail, and the disparity in the figures wlu undoubtedly cause great surprise. A clerk employe-1 by Grant A Ward said the amount of the liabilities will undoubtedly be very large. They are discovering new business every day.

Bennett, of London Ontario, the only first class passenger saved. At the time of the accident be was in the surgeon's cabin and had a very nar row escape from being killed when the Pomona came crushing into the State of Florida amidships. One man of the Po mona went ina-1 from exposure and want of water and died in the boat before the captain and two other sailors were rescued. The captain of the Florida awakened tlic passengers and told them that they must take to tiie boat* instantly, but it ajipears he made no effort to devise a plan by which the j-assengers could get into the boats. At the time of Hie collision the cajitain was in his cabin. He rushed on deck in his night dress and assumed command. When the l-u-'ued, away from the ship she was ready to sink. When she plunged preparatory to sinking tiie most heart-rending cries and appeal: (or help were heard, until the final plunge was made. Bennett saw one boat hanging by one davit. He heard that it waa not considered o' safe I-oat, and that the ropes were cut in order to hinder any one from using it. Walter King, ot Toronto occupied the same cabin as Bennett, and when the ship was about going down, came to him anil said. "For God’s sake. Ben net, stay by me. I am unable to swim.” Bennett and King then got into one of tiie boats, the lashings of whicli were cut at one end, throwing all of the occupants into the sea. Thirty persons might have been saved but for this mishap. Only seven were picked up. All night they could hear people groaning and struggling underneath tlisboat, to which they were dinging, and as many of those on top bad lost friends and one a brother, tlieir feelings can be better imagined than described. To ward morning tiie noise ceased and they came to the conclusion that their companions had saccumbcd. When they were rescued, they broke through the bot tom of the boat with oars,, and a hor rible sight met their eyes. Eight liodles were floating sin-re. while a man named Donaldson was ttill alive, although unconscious from tlic effects of long imprisonment.

Giant's fund of $250,000 it absolutely safe. I don't know where his enemies find their lies. The fund Is invested in Toledo and Wabash second mortgage bonds, interest payable quarterly, and guaranteed, principal and interest, by the.heirs of tiie late Governor E. D. Morgan. Hitherto we bare paid the interest annually. The first ot May each year has found the General in possession of $15,140, tiie interest in full on the Investment. Hereafter we shall pay him quarterly, not only because lie needs the money, but be cause we do net mean any one else shall lav hands on it. General Grant could not touch a dollar ot tiie principal if he desired to do so, any more than I could. It will, however, at Ills death, he paid to his heirs. I was with General Grant on Sunday last, and lie was in complete ignorance of any- pending disaster. Other than this fund 1m does not possess a dollar, and more than this lie is deeply and almost irrecoverably in debt. What lie did in Wall street be did for his sons, and it seem* too bard that this man, who has done so much for ills countrv, should !>e left in his old age de- jiendeiit upon the nation he helped to save."

The Proposed Confederate Home—A Proteet. Editor! TrUgraph and Jhunger: la these piping times ol peace, "so-called,” when prudence and policy would seem to have outgrown patriotism and prim [pie. as rank weeds nearly always do the more valuable products of the soil; when men almost have become emasculated, *o to speak, by the former, on-l the public pal ate lias grown, from force ot habit, accus tomed to (taffy) truth only after It has been first buttered and augared on both aides, one grows a little weak and faint when he thinks about how little of the H naked" article of "truth" our present weak stomachs and still weaker digestion will cither receive or assimilate. It is for this ronton that we have hesitated about laying anything at ail, and hesitated a rrcat deal more about who we should sav ,t to. Till* last, however, we think there I* leas room to be troubled about, and is the reason, perhaps, why we have con- y eluded to say what we had to say on the ' subject, which we will at once come to, to yon. Tiie press, that great "public edu cator" and demoralizer as well, seems to be teeming and steam in about a home In Richmond or elsewhere, for disabled Confederate soldiers. At tlm outset, this “scheme" (in these laming times, the old and honest English wor-i plan, has become almost obseleto even in our pulpits!) makes us think of Dr. John son's letter to Lord Chesterfield, who wanted to come in at the eleventh hour in the role of patron. "Is not a patron, my lord,one wliolooks witli unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water, and when he has reached ground, encumbers him with help? The notice which you have lieen pleased to take of my labors, had it been early, lia-1 been kind; bat it baa been delayed till I am indifferent, and cannot enjoy it, till I am solitary and cannot impart it; till I am known and do not want it,” etc. Now, sir. having pegged along for tho last twenty years without so far suffering hunger or being left without shelter, w e are willing to trust that God who has pro vided (bevond our deserts) for our daily comforts to the end. so far aa we are con cerned at least. Grant might a* well hvae kept that five hundred in bis own breaches’ pocket, or wherever else he may carry his wallet. We want none of his or tbeire in ours. We can neither ask nor accept alma or charity from him nor from them! Our semces were given to the State of Georgia, not to any citizen of Georgia, and if those service are to be re cognized or rewarded In anyway, theStato alone must acknowledge end reward us. We do not wish to lie under obligations i the siigbteat to any of her citiiens. If she has not done so, it has probably been be cause she did not deem it necessary. If she thinks this, it seems to ua officious in any of her citizens to think otherwise. If she did think there was much necessity, real we mean, it would lie her duty to Ap propriate a hundred thousand for tni* purpose, and for ita maintenance, if aha had to subtract tliia much from the millldn alreadv appropriated to build our cajiltol. Georgia, aa wHl aa the “Mother of States." is amply able, and, we believe, willing to look uftcr her own son's and in her own time and wav. “CoXrZDISATZ SOLDlKB. of the property on Long Island owned by U.

It is claimed that with two competing railroads, Hawkinaville would enjoy an the advantages now Downed by Macon, and the saving In freights from the West and to the seaboard would more than compensate Hawkinaville forth, money expended in the extension of the Central.
