GRANT'S GRIEF. m.S FIN1NCIAI. EJIBAim.VSSMENT. Special dispatch to THE BEE. NEW Yonu , May 7 General Grant ia peraonally financially ruined. Tina is certain ; the firm In which hia name ap peared ia involved in a great scandal , and owea beaidoa probably $700,000 , Ferdi nand Ward has turned up , but it la certain that there has been an enormous rohypothecition of collaterals , just aa there waa in the case of Bonner & Co. , and Netter & Co. In those cases , it will bo remembered , both Bonner and JNottor ran away. The failure of Grant & Ward wa3 not caused by the collapse of Marino bank , but the Marino bank waa GUTTED AND ROBBED by the firm of which Grant WAS the gen- tril : partner. It is aaid here that Grant's city roaidonco and hia Long Branch property are in the name of Alra. Grant. The § 250,000 fund gotten up by Jonea ia guaranteed by the eatato of ex-Governor Morgan , and cannot bo touched. The amazement at the huge scandal grows at every minute. It ia the most stupendous in the of the . It ia said arc- * ; * . . hiutory city. that ono bank in Brooklyn which placed yes terday S300.000 of aocurietiea with Grant & Ward for a loan are unable to got either the money or collateral. GENERAL waa again at the ofli"o at 0 o'clock this 'N , morning. Ho was informed of the diffi \ . culties of the firm early yestorday. Ho reached the firm's office about noon and remained in the private office until 2 o clock , when ho stepped into a carriage and was driven homo. Ho was ai calm iv usual , but declined to talk about the trouble. Many offers of aid were made the ox president , but ho oaid that he did ' not feel at liberty to accept any of them until the true position of afl'jira could be ascertained. Ho stato1 ! very circumstan tially that if the firm wont underGeneral 'Grant ' would LOSE A Q0AUTBU OF A 51ILUOX. The extent of General Grant's financial l-l Ifcaoa is well known to hU fiiends here and in Washington , aa may bo seen from the fact that in the senate thia afternoon Senator Edmunds asked that a bill placing him on the retired Hat be consid ered at anearly day. THE MARINE COIjtjAPSE. WEDNESDAY'S DEVELOPMENTS. NEW YOUK , May 7. All information concerning the future ia rofuaod by the1 officers of the Marino bank.

Manager > Gamp , of the clearing houae , states there are no new developments in the Marino bank failure , but the situation is not nearly BO bad as at first aupposed. It ia now stated on excellent authority that President Pish exhibited undue haste in closing the doors of the bank and the directors would not have consented to hia action , had they been made aware of the exact ) atatua of affairs. The aamo ia eaid to bo true of the Grant & Ward failure , which it ia claimed waa brought about by Ward remaining away from business and practically losing hia head. Tito president and director of the Ma rino bank are in secret session. An offi cial states it ia moro than probable that the bank will come put all right. Depo sitors are being paid in full. ATTACHMENT AdAINBT WA11D. NEW YOUK , May 7.

NEW YOUK , May 7. Conservative brokers say that the effect of yeetorday'a failures are very much over-estimated M far aa the stock rxchanon ia concerned. but believe it may induce some out of town selling by weak holders. It is re ported tlut several large bear operators took advintavo of the decline yeatorday to cover up shorts , and itxpreiaod a deter mination to keep out of the market until they can see their way moro clearly. JIOllE ATTACUUEMTH , The supreme court to-day granted aev- oral attachments against the property o Ferdinand Ward , of Grant & Ward brokers. The first granted waa in the suit of Horace 0. Ilotchkias and Jai. B Bornham against Ford. Ward , U. S Grant , jr. , , li s. U. Fi h , U. S. Grant and \Vm. 0. Rmitli , to recover 81,225 fron defendants as drawcra of a cheek upoi the Marino national bank. The check waa delivered to plaintill'j , presented a the bink and payment refused. They charge on information nnd belief that Ward haa left the atato with intent to defraud fraud creditora , nnd had removed 1m property with like purpose. The next attachment is in suit by Thco Wilson & Co. , to recover § 1,200 , money deposited for stookB. Those stocks hat been borrowed and Wilson & Co. offered to return the stock yesterday , and de manded the money deposited , but Ward it Grant refused to receive the stock or return tlio money. The third granted ia in the suit of ETcaMi it Q'lincy , brokers , to recover $548. Thia money waa owed plaintiff : ! by defendants , and the latter refused to pay. A llETTEll TACB ON A1TA1US. The directors of the Marino bank are atill in session. The bank oxaminora do- clinolo say anything. The dcpoaitora eay there ia no doubt the bank will pa > the depositors in full. It ia tUted the affairs of Grant & Ward are turning out better than auppoabd. The firm expected to procure a largo loan which would car ry them along. The loan wna not obtained tainod , and Ward gnvo up. It ia now thought the assets will go further than expected. F1H1I EVIDENTLY A SUCKEH. NEW YOIIK , May 27.

A TAIjIC AV1TH QUANT OS 1'OMTICH IN OENKUAI , . NEwYouK , May 7. The Mnil niu Express to-day publishes a two column interview terviow with General Grant on the politi col situation , The interview was hue yesterday before the news of the finnncia dillicultics on Wall street ro.ichod him Grant was found in his ollico on the = corner nor of Broadway nud Wall streets , where ho makes tri-weckly visits. Ho is stil using crutches , looks somewhat thin ant hns lost flesh since the arcidont , but his complcction la clear nnd ruddy nnd ho is in fine spirits. The inevitable cigar was in his mouth , na ho rapidly and freely answered the questions of the reporter. rnosi'EiuiT. ' "IIow do you regard the present con dition of the country in general ? ' was asked. "Well , I suppose the country is gen erally prosperous .outaido of Wall street. True , the producers are not getting very high prices for 'their products , but their supphoa are abundant and manufacturers are busy in nil directions and I think the condition of the country on the whole quito satisfactory , and I think the popu lation will increase right along , and al the rate of increase the past fifteen years the country at the end of the pres ent century , that is sixteen yearshpnco , ought and probably will approximate 100,000,000. " "What particular portion do you look for the greatest change within that pe riod ? " I think the change will bo all ever ; in all directions ; They are uniform. Now York City will of course retain the as cendency over all other places in the country and I expect the people living al the end of the present centary will BOO New York tha financial center of the world. The entire western country ia being rapidly built up now. For grazing and agricultural purposes the great wesi is far ahead of what the people imagine in fact they never dreamed of its groai fertility. Then the whole country nlonj the northern bordera of the UaitcdStates , for three hundred mi lea south ol the British possessions , aa far as the vallnys stretchis wonderfully productive. The sou them states have developed won derfully in the past fifteen years. I BOB no roison why the southern states at the end of the century would not bo the load ing manufacturing section , particularly in cotton fabrics and iron in all forms. I have no doubt that the development that will take place in Mexico will bo aa rapid n the future as it was on our own Pacific co < ist when wo first acquired it , ind Iwant to sen the relations > otweon that country and ours the most cordial of any in the world. If they nro not so it will bo our own fault. Wo should do everything to secure the confi dence of the people of Mexico. The mcro prosperous tlio Mexican people are the bettor pleased wo shall bo , and the moro it will add to our iudividual inter est. " T E MOUMON QUESTION. "NVhatdoyeu think of the Mormon question ? " ' 'I think the surest and beat remedy will be to take away from Utah the pres ent territorial government and govcrnjtho orritory by a commissioner aa they du in ho District of Colnmbia ; then unforco he nnti-polyamy laws and such laws aa congress may present. " COXRTITUTIONAL AMUNKMENTS , "Can you point out any existing effects n our constitution and suggest reme dies ? " "Yes , there are acveral amendments hat would bo of advantage to the coun- ry if they were adopted , although . don't bplievo In tinkering with hat institution , and nm opposed to inno vation except in cases ot great necessity , 'hero is ono amendment I consider of Treat benefit , and that ia ono that would make the presidential term ono of seven rears instead of four , with a provision hat the president holding 7 years there xftor should bo ineligible. I would sug gest another amendment euch as I ecoramondcd when I occupied the vxo- : utivo chair , which was to the oflcct that n event of failure by congress to pass any regular appropriations in ono year , hen the appropriations corresponding rith those of the previous year bo con- linuod until such time as appropriations nay bo passed. Another amendment I aver ia one also recommended during ny term of ofllco , authorizing the presi dent to approve a portion of any act of congress and withholding his approval rom nil portiens of the act ho does not approve.TUB TUB MISSION OP TUB I'AUTY. "What of the stability of the republi can party , general ? ' "I don't think the mission of the ro- lublican party yet fulfilled. Nor will it ) o so long a * the states latvly in robol- ion ara solidly with one party , without regard to platform or principle. " TJIB I'HKWDENCV. "Now , general , ' ! would like your views on the pending presidential campaign , and the claimtt of the various gentlemen whoso names are mentioned in connection with the republican ticket ? " General Grant here paused , took a few deep puff/ , held his cigar aloft.and after a few momenta' thought replied : "Well , I dnn't ro to say much on that subject. If the republicans make a who selection , they will carry tbo next election. I Ihink our prospocta bottoi than they were four nnd oitht ? yearsnoo. ' "May I nsk your opinion of President Arthur's administration ? " "I prefer not to criticise it. " ron IOOAK. 'May I ask then what your preference may bo I" "I decidedly favor Logan. There nro great prejudices against him nt the pres ent time , because ot his vote on the infla tion bill , but if ho is nominated I think hia record on the financial nuostion clear through from thoboginningcAn bo shown to bo entirely satisfactory to those repub licans who oppose him now. Ho ia n man of ability and n man of courage to maintain his conviotiona nnd ono who is not awayod about by cviry passing brcezo. " .

The attention of Senator Pendloton , author of the nun- ate bill to establish consular nnd other courts , and to dofiuo their jurisdiction , wns called to-day to a dispatch from Con- stantinnplo saying the Ottoman minister at Washington had protested against the bill nnd the Porto would not recognize the views of America Pendlcton aaid if the protest had boon made it wna doubt less based on a misapprehension. Mr. Hitt ( Iliavns in charge of n nm- iliir measure pending in the house com mittee on foreign ul\ira. ( Ho aaid the original treaty with Turkey was framed in 1830. The document , which wns sub mitted to the oonato for ratification , con ferred ample juriadiutlounl power upon Americjn ministers nnd consuls in crim inal caaoa to which American citizens were parlies , but when the puwor was sought to bo exercised 30 years ago , the Turkish authorities made the point that the Turkish version contained no such provision. The discrepancy appears to have grown outof the translation of a certain Turkish word. This , Hill assumed , was the basis of the Ottoman minister's protest. In the case at Smyrna , which arose under the treaty , it was found impossible to re concile the conflicts of jurisdiction and the alleged criminal was placed in jail from which lie escaped during the night. Both parties coming at it ia the only way out of the entanglement. WOODMAN , SPARK THAT TURK. g or the American Forestry Congress ia 'Washington. WASHINGTON , May 7.

Distance from Father Point to Quebec , where the steamer Titania with the crow of the wrecked steamer State of Florida ia expected to land , being nearly 300 miles , makes it doubtful whether par ticulars of the disaster can bo leatned until a Into hour to-night. Austin Bald win & Co. , general agents of the State Line Steamship company received a des patch , adnplicato.of that received by the associated press. It reads : ' PATHKU POINT , Quoboo , May 7. Steam- hip Titania , inward bound , has on board twoutyfour of the crow of the steamship State of Florida. Tim latter collided with n bark in mid-ocean and wont right down. Out of 107 souls only forty-four wore saved ; of the other twenty have boon picked up , The baric also wont down with twelve souls. The survi vors will bo landed in Quoboa to-night. These dispatches are not inconsistent with the report 'inado by the City oi Homo that the ship which signaled hot iii mid-ocean had on board n portion oi the crow of the State of Florida , but on the other hand corroborates that story and lead s to the conclusion that twenty not picked up by the Titania , were res cued by another vessel. The agonta can < not account for the collision , aa the seamen , of the State of Florida were al trained , and the ofTicers , from captain down , were experienced careful men. ' : FAUTHEH POINT , May 7Tho Titan'u remained hero BO short a time that ouli brief particulars were obiainod.

ThoTitauir will arrive at Quoboo about 8 o'clock to night , but only exchanges pilots there ind proceeds to Montreal. It is prnlm- } le tliat the survivors will bo sent ashore at Quebec with a pilot boat and put in charge of the proper authorities. TORONTO , 11:30 : A. M Advices from father Point says the Ti'ania ' having to < o to Quebec with no delay will probably each that city at 9 o'clock to-night if the conditions continue favorable.
