DES MOINES. Close of the Rankin Investigatione-= Important Testimony. Drs Morxes, Towa, Jan. 50.—The Rankin In- vestigation Commitiee closed their labors last ovening. Captain Weat, of tho Netional State Bank, testified that his bank had never losned Rankin money. Ex-Doputy Treasurer Brandt ‘was recalled, and related how he discovered Ran~ kin's defalcation to tho College funds, and how be sccared the deficiency in Btate _funds. His testimony concludes as follows : * The totel amount in the College Tressurer’s hands on the 6th of December, 1871, was $49,383.17. Tho total amonnt received from that to June 25, 1871, was 88,479.75. The total amount paid out yas '$7,004.07. There wero 814150 of these fonds in the bonds. Dedacting the amount ,of the bonds and money paid out, he should have hadon hand, on the 23th of January, 1871, $86,718.85. Ho first paid & Collego werrant from the State Treasury, sbout the 25th of June, 1871, I eannot atate exactly how bIxjor | " Rankin made up the deficiency in the Btats Treasury, in this sottlement on tho- 84 of Juno last, but on an examination of the_journal there oay have been drafts put into the box that came on Baturday and were_mot recoipted for until & Iater date. My opinion still is, that the grester proportion was made from _spocial deposts, such a8 funds received by the State Treasuror from purchases of railroad lands for which mo duplicats receipts were issued to tho Auditor of State, and special deposits sent here for investmont, which at times amounted to very large sums. There is nothing by which an” acconnting officor msy know the amount and prevent the appropriation by the Treasurer of money paid in for railrond lands. My opinion of the appropria- tion of ©38,500, msde from Major Ran- kin's _statements, my = observation snd the evidence elicited by this Committce is this: Major Ranlin told me he invested sbout 327,000 in the factory. I think about £8,000 went into ‘his residence. I think about $2,000 or $3,000 went into lands, and the balance into railroad companies where he was interested, msurance companies, tslograph companies, churches, Sab- bath school donations, and book-peddlors gener- ally. I think it is due to the Major to #ay thot I have seen him, upon soveral occasions, roceivo money and drafts saidto come from friends at the Eeat, and have also seen him send moneyback again to friends Enst. My convic- tion is,that parties in the East have lot him have considerable monoy at different times. This sy acconnt for the disparity in our stste- ments." 3 FIRES.

Phelps, Dodge & Co., in attempting to com- romise tho suit brought against them by the nited Ststos authoritics, agreed to pay over the money demanded, but {nsisted on being fur- nished with s certificato of innocence o8 to any intent to defraud. This absurd demand domol- ished the nogotistion, cnd the report is now they will let the euit procsed. Toss Twoed's czso went to tho jury st 8 p. m., and at 11 p. m. the Court adjourned tll_to-mor- Tow. Ono Teport says thera is no prospect of an agraement of tho jury, seven standing for con- viction and &v0 fof acquittal.

New Yonx, Jou 90.—Edward Simmonds, of this city, stafos that_when he was the Superin- tondent of Tolling Stock of the Union acific Railrond, here, from 1665 to 1871, second-hand focomotives were gold to the Company by G. P. Butler, of Boston, a3 first-class engines, the Company paying 916,000 or $17,000 apicca for them, notwithstanding his - report that tho angines woro dear at 55,000, and; besides, undt for suy decent road. Other aecond-hand stock waa aleo purchased in his way. At a meeting of some patriotic Cubans, yes- terday, it was proposed to raise a fund for an expedition to that island. Itis thought that Now Orleans will be_chosen as the place from which tho next expedition will set out. The failure of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany here to rocoive nows of tho arrival of the Alnska at Yokohama ia not rogarded by the offi- cials as any indication of disaster to that steam- ship, as there aro various reasons why the Com- Bany would not yet be advised sbout ber move- menta. It is stated that the Attorney Geeral st Washington has decided not to prosecute Pol- hamius & Jackson, tho Wall street brokers who were indicted for alloged complicity in. the em- bezzloments of Paymastor Hodgo, a3 the throe branches of the Criminal Court will sit .next month. District Attorney Phelps says that he propones to pross vigotously for the despatch of criminal casos. A beavy force of Iobbyists has gone to Albany to look after the charter and other matiers be- fore the Legislature. In the Twood caso, to-day, Mr. Graham pro- coeded with the closing address for the defance. At the conclusion of Graham's addross, Tro’ maine _closed for the prosecution, and Judge Davis commenced to charge the jury. Judgo Devis gaid: Tho defendsnt stands indict- duty, in neglect of duty, and in granting cortifi- cates upon tho aunditing of accounts which wers falso and fraudulent, and 80 known to him. The Judgo spoke in some detail of tho organization of 'the Board of Audifors and iis duties, and ruled .that the Isoguage™ of tho Jegielative act creating tho Board, that all li- abilities sgainst the County of Now York, in- curred provious to ita prssage, shall bo audited, meant tho performanca of thoso several things neceesary to ascertain the existence of tho lia- bilities that wore jhunkyfl_ud properly payable. It requircd at the hands of the Board something morc_then mero clerical duties; thoy were re- quired to pars upon the . liabilities in such s form a8 should fumnish, to their judgement, nt\al’ulots‘ evidencs that they were Just and should be paid. A public oficer clothed with such authority cannot delegate it, mor can abody of public officcrs, becsuss. the duties constituto a hoard of truat for the people. It ia of no importance whethor tho evidenco has been given hero to show wilful neglect on tlie part of the Mayor or Comptroller; it is exm_ngh for this case if the peopls have satisfied you that the defendent Tweod was, in'the meaning of " the Iaw, guilty of neglect. Tvilful neglect is an intentional act of omission. ' An officer i3 bound to know the duties devolving aapon him, it ho secepts sad_entors upon the duties of his office. ore i no necessity of roving malice or intention to injura somebody. 0 defendant is also charged with issning car- tificates corruptly upon false claims, with- out baving . andited them. " order to prove thi he people ehould establish {hat the lisbilities were false, that the certifi- cates wero falso, and tho act knowingly done by ace The Board of Audit met'the 5th of May, 1870, and organized and passed a resolu- tion' referring tho claima to County Auditor Watson. Its passage was nof in itself a crimin- al offence, but simply a declaration of intention a8 to future action. The law dooa_not adjudge mere intention a crime, order w constitute & criminal . offence, &n Intontion must always ~ bo . followed Dby action, bat if, when the timo comes for ths rformance of imdnzz, he neglecta and re- uses to perform it; that then the rosolution may bo, in connection with the act, strong sud conclusiye evidenco of the commission of crime, Now it is claimed that the subseguent action of ‘the Board was without any formal meeting., and that- the signatures were put to certifi- cates as subsequently prosented to them. If thia position be true, it is consistent with tho ovidenco that those oficers were guilty of nog- lect to audit. This question of neglect is wholly independent of the evidence of Garvey witness, or of the modo of meking 1p th ities, or of the question whether the lisbilities wero falso ornoi. If the Board did not eubsequently mect and signed the certifi- cates aa claimed by the prosscution separately, withont the joint sction rs&uimd byim, itis our daty to” convict tho defendsnt. If the ard negligontly signed tho certificates without ‘examining thoir character, in justico they would bo guilty of negligonce under the statuto. Tho pooplo Insist that no such examination was made. Upon tha question comes all the evi- dence of frand in tho accounts themselves and of the alleged participation of the various par- tios, greator or less, in tho proceeds of this audit, because that evidence tends to ghow what they did was intentional with Y motive ~and to sccomplish & bad deed. If tho Board or any member entered in- to any arrangement connectod with the claims by which they should be ax-muu in amount, or by which false spurions should be passed by the Board in which ho shiall miti- mntnfimficip&ts, that is neglect of duty, not only willingly, but carrsing with it » stain mor- ally and legally infinitely deopor and grosser thaa that of simply noglocting to meet and porform the daty. As to_ the Davideon claim for safes, the Judge said it was for £16,940, and we had & warrant issued under. it for 249,170. Davidson swears he never knew of the alteration ; That he indorsed a warrsnt of which he was not allowed to see the face, and obtained a check for $16,940. It is not neces- sary to know who made the alteration, as the juestion beforo us ia not who did that act of forgery, but who was guilty of megligence in sscortaining the truo character of the claim, and whether defendant is thus guilty. Davidson swears he never ap- peared before the Board ; never swore to or fur- nished any evidenco of the correctness of his account, and was paid_tho original smount on one swallen o, 849,170, which wsa deposited by Woodward in his account, of which a certain sum was transferred 10 the debit of Woodward, snd 24 per cent to that of tho defendant. If this_transaction stooa entorely alone s a single resolute act, the jurors might be more eesily justified in entertaining s doubt, than in the presence of fifty-five transactions all reaching the same uliimate result. Tho Judge submitted thrt Tweed was guilty of wil- folneglect fn passing Davidson's claim. Key- ser's claims were gross frauds, aud no honest man could otherwise consider them. "Old and mew bills were mingled, 2nd an eddi tion ~mede. One ~was & _ bill for 216,050, and had across it: _*We certify tho within bill to bs correct. William. M. Tweed. E. A. Woodward, Clerk.” This and various other zccounts were made out in favor of no_one, and were cxaiined in detail. Keyser testifies, and I se0 no reason to doubt it, that his name upon these warrantsis s forgery. Thersis a tabular statemont hero which shows that overy dollar of Eeyner's sixteen accounts went to Woodward's credit, whilo on the same day the tickets show & transfer from Woodward's to Tweed's ccount. In conclusion, the Judge alluded to the im- portancs of tho caso, which is also to be con< sidered in the light of ita effect upon the de- fendant's fawily and friends, because of the stain that would be left upon his character by a conviction. On the other hand, the juiy should consider the effect as an exsnplo to the com- munity.
