After the meeting had been ealled to order, Mr. Paulson sald that, in view of the alim at- tendance, it would be uscless to undertake to ralse uny money, and beslde, he had about be- como satisfled that the hiring of an attorney wauld not advance the interests of theereditors. Mr. Carl Dreler, the Assiyaco of the bank, #aid o Aid not sce _how the employment of an attorney could be of an[yhumm. The attorneys employed by the Directors were dolug all they cuuld in pressing the Rhode Island sult for $125,000, and also the other claims making up theassets.

Finally, Mr. Paulson moved that a lawyer be employed. A volee—What is the lawyer goln§ to dol We want him to watch the Assignee. We don't want any kid-gloved lawyer, urone who would become the tool of the bank, as the Assiguce had, [Applause.] A zeneral experience meeting followed, in which thero was conslderable fecling manl- fested agalnst the Assignec, who, many of the depositors sald, had lied to them repeatedly when they were inquiring at the bank.

At the end of the year they were to be allowed to resume work under the conlitions and specifications now exiating. This proposition the Aldormen and the other oflicinls present regarded as very sutisfactory und ust, and they were ouly prevented from accept- ng it because ft was not known where themoney would come from. In the present depleted state of tho Treasury, tho paymont of ¢ven o compnratively small’ amount 1a o question of consideration, and as FitzSimmons & Counell are credited on thecity’s necounts with about 870,000, a DI?HIHII would'draw out no small proportion of the funds in huud, It was suzgested that tho contractors be paid fn revenuo warrants drawn aguinst somy partleular fund for 1876, The Mayor, however, is unwilling to, and he de- terminedly snnounces that he will not, sanction the drawing of such n lurgy sum agalnst oy fund, for the uncertainty of a prompt collection of the assessment renders such o course, to say the Jeast, hazardous, ‘The question wus not scttled i‘csterdny. and further talk und sxamivation will be had, * The Commlttes have no preciss {dea of how they will mauage, though they express themselves as ) lu(ulu seelng soms way out of the diffi- culty, TIE PUMPING-WWORKS.
