4 10 SIR JOHN P. GRANT. Arrival of His Excelleney the Gov- ernor General of Jamaica, ‘The Social Revolution There Since the Days of Governor Eyre—The Condition of the Blacks— The Island Making Rapid Strides Towards Promerity and Tranquillity—The Cu- ban Refugees and the Cultivation of Tobacco—The Negroes Work- ing Out Their Destiny—An Interesting Interview. ‘By the steamship St. Thomas, that arrived in our ‘harbor on Friday, came Sir Jobn P. Grant, Governor General of the island of Jamaica, and his Attorney General, Hon. M. Scharsh, The distinguished gentle- men took rooms at the Brevoort House, where His Excellency will remain until Wednesday or Saturday next, when he will embark for a four months’ sojourn in England. The Attorney General will in a few days leave for an extended tour of Niagara, the Thousand Islands, and other points of interest in Canada. A casual glance at Sir J. P. Grant, as he ap- peared yesterday on greeting a representative of the HERALD who called upon him, would not give” one the impression that he had rendered such dis- tinguished services to the crown and received such honors as he has. In personal appearance he is tall, well built, possesses a fine, intellectual head, a long, flowing, fuil beard, mixed with gray, a cheer- ful, round, florid face that shows great intelligence, and, inéeed, possesses all the attributes necessary to make up a fine old English gentle- man, Although sixty-four years of age, the sun of India and the heat of the tropics have been so generous that he does not look to be more than fifty years of age. Govemor Grant, when but eigliteen years of age, became an official of the East India Company, and Jeft his Scottish home in Inverness-shire for his new field of duties in the East. Later he was Deputy Secretary of the government of India in the Revenue Department, Secretary of Bengal, a member of the Supreme Council of India. This last position he held for many years, and in it displayed great ability as a statesman, His last service in India was as Lien- tenant Governor during the mutiny of 1857-8. So valuable were his services and to the sociability and absence of reserve on the ee aprraer gave his hand tothe representative of the HERALD, who withdrew. On the part of Sir John there is aa entire absence of stiffness and re- serve, and in speaking of his administration in the island he modestly refrained from self-praise. It is probabie that, should he prolong his stay in our city, he will receive those courtesies from our Beane which his long and valuable public services British Crown entitle him to, YACHTING. THE SLOOPS MAUD AND W. F, DAVIDS, Mr. George W. Davids Protests Against the Decision of the Judges. During the past season several matches have been sailed that resulted in a dispute and conse- quently created considerable excitement in yacht- ing circles. Judges’ decisions are generally sup- posed to be final; but there should certainly be some higher power to whom the disputante could appeal in case of there being any reasonable and just grounds for protest, The match between the sloops Bella and Meteor, sailed about a month ago, caused @ regular scandal in yachting circles, but still the injured parties had no means of redress by appeal, and consequently were forced to take other means to obtain justice. An appeal to the courts is decidedly objectionable to all gentlemen of sportsmanlike inclinations, but im some instances that is the only course left for them to pursue. ‘ The match between the Maud and W. F. Davids was made to sail ten miles to windward and return for $1,000 a side. On the day of the race, as it was impossible to obtain one stretch of ten miles to windward and return, Mr. Stephen Van Nostrand, the judge for the Maud, and Mr. J. M. Sawyer, the judge for the W. F. Davids, decided that the race should be sailed five miles before the wind and return and repeat. The yachts were started all right, and the ‘W. F. Davids rounded the stakeboat and hauled on the wind to return. The Maud, instead of rounding, ran into the port bow of the stakeboat, and the latter had to back down to prevent her sinking. This accident was supposed to decide the by as it was generally understood, the Day yes had nothing more to do but to sail oral the course and win the money, Both boats sailed over the course, aud the Maud finally came in first, as the Davids, be had be- having lost Kerk & of her sand ae come nard to handle in the stiff breeze. The judges, after calling on the owners of the two yachts ‘and hearing their statement, that they were sailing under no specified, but under the gencral rules of | yachting, decided that the Maud had won the money, although they did not attempt to dispute counsel in this trying period of the government that the Queen testified her appreciation of them by raising him te the Order of the Bath. When Gov- ernor Eyre precipitated the blacks of the island of Jamaica into revolt by his mismanagement of its affairs the home government looked for a states- | man who could establish confidence among the un- raly classes in its distant colony, and the position ‘was forced upon'Sir J. P. Grant after Sir H. Stokes, ‘who had been sent out to report upon Governor Eyre’s administration, had served as Governor for @ short time. Governor Grant assumed direction of affairs at a critical moment, when the black population was excited and violent and the treasury bankrupt. One of “the first reforms inaugurated was the abolition of the representative system of gov- ernment and the adoption of the colonial system. ‘The Governor called to his counsel gentiemen of well-known Prony, and by repressing irregulari- ties he cs he ‘and carried out such reforms that colony is in a high ‘state of pros- rity and tranquillity, the black population indus- rious and peaceable, the revenue more than is required to cai on the government, education making great les and the commerce of the colony monthly bahar The reporter was cordially welcomed by His Ex- cae oe sending in his card, and after the usual salutations he asked :— “Do you propose to remain long in our city, Your Excellency ?” “Only a few 1am ona four months’ leave to visit Great Britain. I have not yet decided ‘whether I shall sail on Wednesday or Saturday.” “Governor, I believe you have been about six ire the ntative of Her Majesty in Jamaica. have called to have a few minutes’ conversation upon the condition of affairs on the island.” “Well, sir, we are now enjoying a high degree of prosperity. The blacks and half-castes are making great pi in education and habits of maustry.” bts it is the colored population ?”” “The total population Is in the neighborhood of haifa million. Of these about thirteen thousand are whites. The others are blacks and half-castes. ‘We are increas! largely in point of population and genera! inte! nce.” “Oan you inform me whether the black popula- tion has increased or diminished since the massacre the ot previous to your assumption of com- an “Oh, there has been a steady increase. I believe ‘the increase of population in the last ten years over poet iabbeted ten years is about eighteen per D' “What is the condition of the colored population ? Are the ne; industrious, do they enjoy superior educational advantages, equal with the whites, or have they separate schools ?”” “There is no distinction of color in the schools ofthe island. They are open to all classes and shades of color. ‘hey are very comfortable; in- deed, the blacks have never been more so. Their ‘wealth and yroerenty, have largely increased since their emancipation, and many of them attain a high degree of intelligence. “what calling do the blacks usually follow, Gov- ernor?”” “Many of them cultivate sugar plantations, others prosper finely in commercial callings. There is ab- solutely no distinction of color in the colony. “Then the blacks hold office?” . “Oh, yes, many of them fill offices of trust and emolument. The predecessor of that gentleman (pointing to Attorney General Schasch) is a colored an. “What is his name, Governor?’ “Heslop. He was educated at Oxford, althou; native of the colony, and admitted to the bar. He is avery able man, and for a time acted as Chief Justice of the island as well as Attorney General. Other colored gentlemen hold high offices, to w.ich they bring great intelligence.” “May I ask, Your [eget what you find the capacity of the West India blacks to acquire an edu- cation to be. Are they quick fo learn?” “When young they are remarkably quick in the acquisition of knowledge, but when they grow older they do not learn so easily. They have during the past five or six years made great progress bad the excellent system of elementary educa- jon. “Is the trade of the island increasing ?”” | “Tt i8 constantly improving, especially with this country. The whole island isin a high degree of Laie goats In 1866, after the revolt, they gave up heir constitutional government, It was a volun- tary act, and the affairs are now administered by @ governor and council Do aren by the Crown.” “Are the blacks satisfied with the change to the colonial syst ” “They certainly are. Ido not think there is on the earth a more orderly or quiet people than the Jamaica blacks now are, They are perfectly happy aud contented.” “What induced the revolt under Governor Eyre ?”” “Weil, can hardly say, Things did not progress to the satisfaction of the bla for they are a fac- tious peo) ‘There is a great deal of faction, and the result was that they were dissatisfied with the sie fp oe affairs.” oa ere been much emigration from Cuba to ‘the island since the Tebeltion is “Yes, many of our best citizens are Cuban refa- gees, who have come in and commenced the culti- vation of tobacco. They number perhaps twelve or fifteen hundred.’ “Tobacco, | believe, is a new experiment there” “Yes; but it promises to open a new field of com- merce. It is now an experiment, but I learn that the tobacco is equal to the second quality produced in | Cuba. There have been little orno exports yet. 1 do not know whether any cigars have been made equal to the Cuban brands, but Cubans say they can make the Frags Teed from the Jamaica product. {ex- | ct it will eventually be a great staple product of the island. The sugar production fell of a few years ago; butit is picking up again. Jamaica is @ very interesting island, and certainly it is making rapid progress.” “Ilearn that your isiand is in a highly satisfac- tory financial condition,” remarked a genuleman was admitted during the interview. Yes, our finances are ina very healthy state. Last year I believe the revenue collected exceeded the expenses of the government by about fifty-eight thousand pounds. But the taxes have been re- duced or taken off on some articles and we are now not doing so well. When I went there the colony was in a state of bankruptcy. I think the taxes are not much lighter now than when | as- sumed the direction of affairs, They have been taken off of some articles and put on others, and possibly they may be a little lighter now, as the products have largely increased.” The Governor spoke in enthusiastic terms of the salubrionsness of the climate and reports that jarge numbers of American tourists nave visited the interior, where the scenery 1s magnificent. His Excellency said that he has a cottage eleven miles from Kingston, 5,000 feet above the sea, ‘where the climate is preferable to that of Italy. Sir John, who has never before visited the metropo- | Mis of the New World, expressed his admiration of the harbor and his earnest desire to see the Central Park and other places worthy of note, He 4# especially desirous of seeing the points of in- terest on the pistoric Hudson, and if he delays his | departure until Saturday he expresses his inten- tion to take @ trip up the river. Alter ap interview of half au hour, which, owing | the foul. When Mr. Davids heard of the decision |he immediately made 4 verbal protest, | and afterwards sent a written protest | to the judges, stakeholder and Mr. Morris. | The money has already been paid over, and as | Mr. Morris appears to decline all argument on the juestion the matter will probably have to come up for arbitration. The third clause of the protest made by Mr. Davids reads, ‘The boats, or yachta, were to carry the live weight over the whole course. One or two of the crew of the yacht Maud were on board the stakeboat while the yacht Maud was endeavoring to round it.’ The above ques- tion is open to argument, but there is not the slightest doubt that one of the crew of the Maud | jumped an the stakeboat Fletcher at her port bow, ‘and running the length of the steamer, boarded the Maud from the port quarter. ‘There appears to have been large sums of money ending on the result of this race, amounting to Twelve or fifteen thousand dollars, and con- ently the losers feel very sore upon such a de- cision. Mr. Davids is determined to carry the mat- ter through, and have the whole case brought before the public. There are many important points in yachting that are often the subject of wrangling, and it would be well for the prominent yacht clubs to ap: point @ judiciary committee, with power to decide all appeals or protests. Yachting Notes. The following yachts passed the HERALD telegraph station at Whitestone yesterday :— Yacht Halcyon, N.Y.Y.C., Mr. Smith, from New York, bound eastward.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 31, 1872. ‘This afternoon a match game of base ball was played between the Athietic and Eckford nines. At the end of the eighth inning the contest, which was a fine one, resulted in a tie—five runs having been made by each. In the ninthinning the Ath- letics went first to the bat. McBride, who had made his second base, ran to third on Reach's hit, which was caught by Nelson and flelded to third, The umpire decided McBride not out, The Eck- fords refused to play unless McBride was given out; but the umpire (Tom Pratt, of the Philadel- phia orm ics) declined to do this, as he did not think bride had been touched with the ball. ‘The Eckfords still declining to play the umpire de- clared the game forfeited to the Athietics by the score of 9to0.

How the Lives of ‘Men of Progress” Are Pub- lished—What It Costs To Be a Man of the Time—The Clerk of the Biography Publish- er Accused of Theft—The Charge Weak- ening Under the Light of Justice. ‘The case of Frederick R. Greer, of room No. 6, Times Building, against George E. Glover, on a charge of grand larceny, came up for examination before Judge Hogan, at the Tombs Police Court, yesterday morning, and promises, ere its close, to result in throwing some light on certain alleged questionable proceedings on the part of the com- plainant, It will be remembered that Mr. Greer alleges that Glover, who was in his employ as stenographer, opened hig safe and took there- from the snug little sum of $550, and then decamped. This case, however, like most others, ‘has a reverse side, as will presently be shown. It may not be generally known, but it is Revertheless a fact, that Mr. Greer is publishing, and has already published, a book, entitled “Men of Progress,” which he sells by a mode of subscrip- tion wholly pecullar and not a little ingenious. Judge Daly, William M. Tweed, Jr.; L. ©. Her- ring, David Dudiey Field and several other gentlemen are, doubtless, aware of this fact. Some time ago Greer brought suit against Mr, Tweed, and it is said he proposes to bring one against Judge Daly for several thousand dol- lars in payment of books which he says these Pen subscribed for, but which allegation is denied by them. It is now alleged by Mr. Glover that Greer’s object in having him ar- rested is to get him out of the way when these suits come off, as he (Glover) knows too much about his transactions, However true this May or may not be, Mr. Greer’s conduct during the examination yesterday was, to say the least, ex- tremely prejudical to his case. After waiting some half hour or so for the appear- ance of counsel, the examination finally began, Dis- trict ete fe Fellows appearing for the people and Mr. William F, Howe for the defendant. Mr. Greer Was requested to state his case to the Court, which he did as follows :— “On Saturday, the 6th day of July (he had pre- viously said it was the 20th day of July) I left the office in charge of Mr. Glover. At that time there was $550 in my safe. When I returned to the office on Monday morning the money was gone and Mr. Glover was nowhere to be found. He was the only person who had access to the office. I said nothing about the case until a few days ago, when I employed two detectives—Clapp, of the Central Office, and Mr. Terwiliger—to hunt him up. When he was arrested he tacitly acknowlegded having taken the money.” Mr. Greer said the day before, when the complaint was taken, that Glover frankly acknowl- edged having stolen the money, ‘“‘and appeared to be Mar? sorry for his action.’’ Mr. Howe said the defence proposed to show that Greer did not have $550 in his safe at the time he alleges the larceny to have been committed; that on the afternoon in question Glover requested $20 from him; that he said he did not have any money about nim, but would and did give hima check for twelve dollars, although he knew it was long after banking hours, and that the paper could not be cashed before the following Monday morning. ‘We will prove,” con- tended the counsel, ‘that Mr. Greer has practised, and is still practising a systematic course 01 fraud upon several of New York’s best citizens, under the pretence of eps be book of Bicgre nltes We will prove that he is wholly unworthy of belief, and that he is a fraud and @ swindler.” This wholesale statement of the ponderous and Jolly counsel seemed to take Mr. Greer wholly by storm; but in the course of a few moments, now- ever, he regained his equanimity and the fun went on. Mr. Howe commenced the’ cross-examination a8 follow: Mr. Howe—Did you put all that money in the safe at one time? Greer—No; I put it in at different times. “Where did you get it?” “Itcame from various persons; it came from three different people.” “What was it fory’? “It was for goods ordered.” “What kind of goods ?”” raphical works.” “Stat m whom you received it.” “T can’t state that without looking at my shipping and bank books.”’ “Do you know Judge Charles P. Daly 1” “By reputation only.” “Have you had business with him ?” “Yea,” publishing his biography ?”” “With reference to “I decline to answer. ‘Do you know Hon. Thomas C. Fields ?”” 'I decline to answer.”" ‘Did you ever try to publish his biography ?” ‘I decline to answer.’” “I decline to answer.” Here the complainant became very nervous and wanted to summon witnesses and have his private counsel conduct the prosecution. His requests were not complied with. Mr. Fellows informed him that he appeared for the people and would see jus- tice done. ‘Do you know Commissioner Alexander Frear ?” « eae Mr. Howe. “Yes, “Did you ever have worn conversation with him Felative to publishing his bography 1” Mr. Greer declined first but afterward answered as follows :— ‘Well, yes, 1 did, but I never got any from him.” id you ever demand money from him ?” Well, perhaps I may have done so by oN letter.” “Have you demanded money from Judge Daly?” Witness, nervously—I decline to answer that question. Iappeal to the District Attorney for protection. Mr. Fellows said counsel had a perfect right to ask those questions with a view to impeaching his integrity as a witness, “You have demanded money from Surrogate Hutchings, L. C. Herring, Commissioner Garrison, A. V. Stout, of the Shoe and Leather Bank; David Dudley Field and others, have you not ¥”” Witness (greatly excited snd embarrassed) —I decline to answer. “You say you put that $550 In the safe at different times 1” “Yes; at different times during a period of ten jays. “Do you keep a bank account ?” “Yes; two of them.” “What bank, or which banks {’” “1 won't answer the question.” Counsel—We'll find out. They may be faro banks. At this point a subpeena was made out requiring the witness to produce his books for the examina- tion during the afternoon—his “bank” and “ship- ping’ books. Witness objected, and said he could not produce the books in so short a time. Judge Hogan ordered the books to be brought into court. About half-past two o'clock Greer, accompanied by private counsel, returned with his bank book, ledger and “shipping book.’ The ledger was sealed, with the exception of two pages, which of itself looked somewhat bad. These two pages, however, Mr. Greer said, covered | the time during which he had sworn to having placed the money in the safe. Mr. Howe said he was convinced, on examination, that the entries on the pages exhibited were all new and had been made during the day. They cer- tainly have that appearance. Mr. Howe made the point that the ledger only exhibited entries from dune 19 to July 12, while Mr. Greer’s bank book showed a deposit on July 1 of upwards of $500, and all the entries in the ledger from that date to July 12 comprise a sum ofa trifie over $200, It will be remembered the complainant swears the Money—$550—was stolen on the 6th duly, and that the amount had put in the safe in different sums during a period of ten days, while his ledger shows his total recetpts, from July Ist to the 12th, to be less than three hundred dollars. After considerable discussion on this point, Mr. Howe moved that the sealed portion of the ledger be opened. Greer’s private counsel stoutly resisted the motion, but Judge Hogan finally decided the seals should be broken, whereupon jor McGrath, the Judge's courteous clerk, opened his penknife and in moment the book. Greer's counsel still | rotested; he did not want the reporters to see the book and begged the Court to keep it from them. But tne Judge told the fidgety counsel that he knew the reporters to be gentiemen and quite incapable of taking advantage of any one, ana he should, therefore, not exclude anything from them which was introduced as evidence, At this point the further examination of the case ‘was adjourned until Monday week, at two o'clock in the afternoon, at which time some further de- velopments are promised, Mr. Glover was ad- mitted to bail in the sum of $1,000, NEWS FROM UTAH.
