Bosrow, Aug. 6.—To-morrow morning's papers will contain a sharp reply to Duraut’s statement, by F. 1. Tappan, son of John G. Tappan, the defsuiting Treasuror of the Dos- ton Delting Company. The Investizating Com- mittes, he says, found cvidence that Durant wos knowing to Tappan's position, certainly as carly as December, 1877, and as an officer of the Company his duty as well as his own natore cofnpelled him to be cognizant of the financisl conditfon of the Boston Melting Company at st tines, It is false to say that Tappan covered up things from Durant and eavo him incorrect statements. Young Tappan declares that tho tripartite agreement of Sep- tembor, 1874, was tald before the Committee of creditors without his father’'s knowledge or consent, by otliers, who thought that the facts contained [n them ought to be known to those investigating the affalrs of the Delting Compsny. Thls s an answer to Duarant's denunciation of Tappan for permitting the paper to be submitted. “This paper,” says the writer, *Mr, Tappan did not make, but Durand did. The original agrcement was drawn up by Darant himself, and tho terms wers his own. The offer 8 in lis own hand. writing. All the notes were indorsed by Tap- pan, ag well as by the Belllng Company, The posttion of the New York Company maile the risk very hazardons. Ju 1877 it was vital to the New York Company that the Boston Company ahould not suspend payment, Mr. Tappan wished tostop. 1le told Durant that ft was useless to try to go on, but Durant, knowing that Mr. Tappaw's fallure mcant the New York Company’s failure, compelied Mr. Tap- pan o ‘go on, In the vain hope of tiding over things, 8o Dnraut lent him the New York Company’s name and his own, but took from Mr. Tappan $100,000 of Dundes bonds as collateral. Asto the ficures which Durant makes use of in his statement, the Boston Belting Company indorsed dollar for doliar with the New York Company, and Tap- pan gave bis name quite as often to burnnl a8 Durant or Chieever save theirs to Wim.” In conclusion, {uung ‘Tuppan sutus up the case in lis father's interest as follows: The whole facta aro thess: Throo men, owning most al} ihe ateck in these two corporations, havo wscd the concarns ne thongh they were a privato partnerstiip. ~ 3f any ono will look nt the nasets of the New York Belting & Packiug Company ho will soe nominal figarcs of over 81,600,000, But 416,000 of theso arc put ‘down as min fae stocka, which’ curfons as- sets fur ' rubher corporation.

And now it in but just to the public that they should be wmade to undee- stand_ o little plece of evidenca introduced by Durapt na a part of tho atatement and se an Iudorsement of his various charges. A. W, Worthley signa his nanio (0 # statemoent whicn 18 meant to decetve the public into bellaving that Tappan charged Durant and Cheener 713 per ceut for the money which was raised for them at bl percent, and that ho pmt tho didlerence into s pocket.” Tii facis aca that fio placel {hla monocy to the credit of the Boston Dielting Company. Durant knew this at the time he published his siatement, for Worthley told him, and then, to nutke surc, sent 8 bookkecuer to Durant with the sawmo statement, But Durant willfully and tnteu- tionally used this letter from Tapuan's confiaential clerk for the puroose of decoiviny the public, and ihts Is a faic samble of the ovidence Mr. Durant wncs, and of the taols he worka with, for this poor fellow (this confldential clerk to Mr, Tappan) had, ' for reasons well known (0 himeelf, far better havo cut his hand off zuthor than Lave signed such s siatement. 'The Daily Advertiser editorinlly commendsthe loval spirit that Inapired Tapuan‘s son to write this letter, but considers it simply incredibla that the agrecment ol 1874 was ol Durant's de- vice and suggestion, though he unguestionabiy pseented 10 it ami may have put it into ahave when the hard conditions wera agrecd upon.
