Since the appointment of a committee on behalf of the creditors of the late banking firm of Middle- ton & Co. on yesterday and the evidence submitted by Mr. Dichman, of the firm of Dichman & Co., ‘No. 80 Wall street, New York (formerly Middleton, Dichman & Co), the disclosures show the failure ‘Not only to be one of the most disgraceful, but one of the most disastrous on record. Property left for safe-keeping, good margins on stocks, charity funds, all of the deposits, and, in fact, everything, have been Swept away afd used by this frm, until it 1s doubtful if it pays a cent or even a mill on the dollar. It is shown that they have been given funds to make pure! which they have simply to their own credit and mnt. The New house produced to the creditors to-day the original letters from Middleton & Co. proving this fact in several instances beyond all question. In the lan of Mr. Dichman, “Wesley Middleton has probably kept two-thirds of the accounts in his head.” This explains, possibly, the “misery in his head” of which he has’ complained so much lately. ‘To the reporter of a morning paper he insists that the statement of Mr. Dichman does him “great in- justice, and that the books will come out all right.” ‘he answer to this is, that the Middletons seem to have known little or Pees Se their books, for they are in great confusion. Green, the book- keeper and assignee, says that the book's have not been settled for over ten years, though he has re- atedly urged the firm to have them balanced. Re protests that he never had any knowledge of the disposition of the securities of the bank, but kept his books only from the blotter and from the Memoranda pluced on the spindle. Mr. Dichman, when asked what, In his belief, had become ot the missing $300,000 or £400,000, said he did not believe the Middletons had speculated in stocks or had lost 1t on Dad loans here, as suggested by a creditor. In fact, he was very open in his expressions of opinion as to what had become of some of the deposits and the large amount of securities, and openly urged all fal steps to find where these funds were. if the Middietons had any defense or explanations to make they could very easily appear, he said, before the creditors’ committee and show if those large sums were lost through failures in the ordinai Dusiness channels or had been, as openly chat deliberately stolen. They certainly could be traced, in hig opinion, till the creditors were satisfied one way or the other. ‘The largest deposit which was swept away was that of the Hutchinson estate, ex- Ing $115,000, and the next highest is that of a well-known official, amounting to $61,000. A num- Der of civil suits have been instituted, and some of the sufferers were before the grand jury yesterday, endeavoring-to secure the indictment of the Mid: dletons for obtaining money under false pretenses. ‘The developments not yet made public, promise some very ugly features. Mr. 8B Middleton pro- vests that he had no knowledge of the use of the securities of the bank, which he charges upon his partner. Mr. Spencer’s Dental, 1B ACCUSES ME.

Mr. Merrick om the Stand. NE THINKS THE DORSEY-BRADY CASE WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO HAVE (SECURED CONVICTION—SHARP CRITICISM OF THE JURY—HIS INTERVIEW WITH ‘WALSH, ETC. Mr. RT. Merrick was before the Springer com. mittee today. He sald he had been practicing law for thirty years; was commissioned as Assistant At- torney General to assist in the prosecution of the Star route cases the latter part of March, 1882; en- tered immediately upon a discharge of the duties, and was in court on March Sist. Before that time, he had been, for a week or two, engaged in consult ation with the counsel. He said there was no special contract with regard to the compensation he wasto receive. It was understood that the At- torney General was to determine that. The entire amount that he recetved up to the time of his re- Urement was $37,000 0r $38,000. He was intheemploy Of the government until the 81st of March, 1884 His uty was to represent the Attorney General in the trial as jreneral counsel. The duty of presenting the cases to the grand Jury belonged exclusively to Col. Bliss; the drawing of indictments was the duty of Mr. Ker, and witness was on hand to give them any information they desired from him. "His post- tion would not bave justified nis going before the Brand jury, and he would not have been allowed to enter the jury room, under the law of the land. He ever, except on one occasion, the particulars con- nected with which would probably come out durin the investigation, departed from what he deeme his functions. MR, MERRICK ON THE DORSEY-BRADY CASE. “There has been some controversy,” sald Mr. Springer, “as to why the Dorsey-Brady cases were taken up for trial instead of some other cases thought to have been better. Can you explain that?” Witness replied that immediately after his Ging into the cases he had a consultation with Col. Bliss. ‘The Dorsey-Brady case was then foremost and ap- sared to be the one selected to proceed with, and le could not have chosen a stronger case upon which to secure a conviction. The indictments Were then drawn w He looked over the indict- ment and found it all right except. where tt related to Rerdeli, Sanderson and Vaile. In this respect he advised that it be corrected. He deemed Rer- dell essential to the case, and he had several con- Sultations. They were several hours together in a Yoom in the Department of Justice, and agreed upon a new indictment, including several overt acts not previously included and dropping some con- tained. Sanderson was dropped. If he was to be Indicted at all It was not to be in the combination. He never heard Sanderson referred to again ex- cept Incidentally. In relation to the Brady-Dorsey case he said he had afterwards talked over the case and he thought it would have had to be a very ex- traordinary case that could have been stronger upon which to secure a conviction. He spoke, he said, of the evidence In the trial and this was ‘suMcient to have secured conviction in the mind of any Intelligent person. EVIDENCE ENOUGH WITHOUT WAISH'S TESTIMONY. Without Walsh's testimony there was, in his opinion, evidence enough to have secured a con- viction. Walsh’s testimony was important, but. ‘there was enough without it. Inthe first part of the trial the court seemed impressed with the {dea that the government’s case was not Later on the question arose upon the admissibility of Mr. Waish’s testimony. At that time the counsel— Merrick and Bliss—had an opportunity to explain the case more thoroughly, and clear up matters recognized to be of importance, but upon which the court and jury were not clear. After this the case went on mingly for the government unul the Ume of the verdict. Mr. Springer asked why they had not recognized the importance of Walsh’s testimony before that Ume, and witness replied that he did not think te before then his attention had been called to MR, MERRICK’S INTERVIEW WITH WALSH. ‘Witness said that ne had understood that Walsh Was reluctant to appear. He asked for an inter- view with him. ‘This was arranged and he saw Walsh at the Arington, At this meeting he urged ‘Walsh to testify, but that gentleman said that he id not care to testify, giving as his reasons that he had been badly treated; that his testimony had been disregarded by the grand Jury, and Geo. Bliss Was the cause of thetr.s0 disreg: Dg him He Told Witness of his testimony concerning Kellogg. ‘Witness had not then heard of that, and Walsh ex- pe surprise that such should be the case,when US associate counsel (Bliss) knew all about it. ‘Witness said that he then might have said some harsh things about Bliss. He was consid excited, for he felt that if Walsh told the truth ‘A GREAT CRIMINAL BAD ESCAPED. Believing this, he thought probably he had spoken. harshly of Bliss. The witness criticised the jury which convicted Miner and Rerdell, the subordi- nates, and disagreed as tothe principals.) When ‘this was announced he thought it was a disgrace to the records of the court, and he determined not to Jet IU stand, and go told the court. The men con- victed of conspiracy were merely the subordinates, and could not have had any connection except through the principals. He quoted his remarks. ‘the court when he sald: “The rich are let go, the poor are punished; the masters set free, the ser- Yants are in jail” He claimed before the court that there had been IRREGULARITIES IN THE JURY ROOM, and finally the verdict was set aside. “What were those irregularities?” asked the chairman. “There was sald to have been oar Tead in the jury room,” replied the witness. Witness sald that he jury was intelligent and the evidence con- Fineing, but he proposed not to express opinions, He would ask the committee to allow him to pro- ceed according to the rules of evidence, and then draw thelr own conclustons. “Were you not surprised at the verdict?” asked Mr. Van Alstyne. ‘ecessarily,” was the reply. “You could best judge of the extent of my sur- prise could you have heard my vernacular at that ume.” Mr. Stewart:—“Surprise Is a mild term for it.” “He Is going tt mild,” replied Mr. Fyan. NEVBR SAW A WOKSE JURY. ‘Witness sald that never in his experience had he seen a worse jury than that impaneled on the sec- ond trial. “Bad, how?” was asked. “Bad in every respect. Some of them could neither read or write.” He haa but three peremp- tory challenges, and was obliged to exhaust one of these upon 9 man who said that he had never heard of the star route cases, did not know that there Was such a thing asastar route trial, aud could not read print. When he appealed to the court, saying that this man was incompetent, the Ju Teplied that under the laws of the District ‘seemed to be the only ian who was competent. POLITICAL ENTRIES IN BOSLER’S BOOKS. ‘Witness, speaking of Bosler, sald that he had asked that he (Merrick) be not allowed to see his Dooks, because he (Merrick) was a democrat, and there were some political entries in the books. Bosler was held several weeks under subpena, Witness was advised by a party that Bosler de- sired to be relieved from subpa:na. Witness did not understand that Bosler had indicated that his testimony would have embarrassed him, “though T've no doubt it. would,” added Mr. Merrick. Wit- ess understood that Mr. Bosler did not want Mer- rick to examine his books, because they would re- veal his political contributions, and witness under- Stood that Bosler wanted to be'relleved from testi. tying because he did not want to disclose these litical matters In reply toe question by Mr. {ap Alstyne as to the poiltical entries on the books, ‘who sat by, in saying theré Sos tat aA it ce ahs Bosler’s politcal contributions. Mr. Merrick declined to state who It was that ap- proached him in regard to relieving Bosler from Subpaena. To Bosler's frlend who approached him Witness replied that if Bosler would deliver up the letters he bad (relating to star route matters,) he (Bosler) might go anywhere. In explaining why he eclined to make pubile the name of Bos Mr. Merrick sald that when he entered the case hé nun ‘THE ATMOSPHERE FILLED WITH SUSPICION. ‘The bare mention of a man’s name was sufficient to attach suspicion to that man’s name should be publicly mentioned unless ‘there was evidence enough to indict him: that the Public mind is still sensitive and suspicious, and ‘witness preferred not to do injury to any innocent man by mentioning his name in this connection. THE STATOTE OF LIMITATIONS. ‘Mr. Springer asked why Kellogg was not indicted before the statute of limitations ran against the notes or drafts. ‘The witness replied that, after his conversation with Walsh, he informed Bliss and Ker of what Walsh had said, and declared his (Mer- Tick’s) purpose to ask the Attorney General to have the Jay seconren Eis reason for want iny grand reconvened Decat offense of which was SESE a tT see * Nava Capst Gonos W.

Talk About A LIVELY CANVASS OF THE MERITS AND AVATLABIL- ITY OF THE VARIOUS POSSIBLE CANDIDATES. Hotels and at Capitol. Pollticlans gathered about the hotels last night, ‘And the sole topic of discussion was the Tilden let- ter and the consequent situation of the democratic Party. The opinion prevailed that if a New York man got the nomtnation Cleveland would be the man. The impression seemed to be that if Cleve- land got New York he would get the nomination. But if New York gives tts support to Flower, the nomination will go out of the state and settle upon & western man, Various reasons were brought up ‘Why McDonald should not be the man, and there Was more taik in favor of Morrison than any other, in the event of Cleveland's faliure to get is state. The remarkable thing about this is that those who Praised Morrison most were known supporters of andall during the tariff contest.

McPherson's name was occasionally mentioned, THE FLOWER DOOM WITHER Tn the serious discussions among democrats about the situation and what should be done Flower is not mentioned as even a possibility. Even with some of the New York democrats his “boom” inspires only merriment. The democrats agree that the occasion calis for thelr vers. strorig- est men, if they are toenter the Mxht with a hope Of Success; that the nominee should have some Tecord to evince his capacity for public service, and his method of dealing with public questions Flower pas, they aay, nothing of the kind.

A New York democratic Representative says that when Flower's Strengih comes to be tested at the state conven- tion next Weduesday, it will appear that bis boom has no real existence. “THURMAN 4 GOOD MAN, BUT IT WON'T DO TO MAKE 4 FIGHT IN ont0.” The news from California and Texas that the democratic conventions of those states had, after the receipt of Tuden’s letter of declination, adopted resolutions favorable to ex-Senator Thur- Man, gave the latter some prominence in the dis cussion of presidential candidates to-day, Every democrat bad a good word to say for Thurman, “but it will not do for us tomake a fight in Ohi was the general expression. ‘To nominate an Ohio man would be to challenge the republican claim to Uhat state, and defeat in October would puta damper upon the democrats in other states. ‘The candidacy of Payne, too, ts another obstacle in the way of the Thurman boom. SENATOR VOORHEES IN FAVOR OF “SC DONALD AND CLRVRLAND.” Senator Voorhees thinks the democratic party should nominate a candidate from the great and growing west. He says the party has been going east for its candidate for 25 years only to meet de- feat, once through fraud, but final defeat nevi theless.“ Mr. Voorhees declares that the nom tion of ex-Senator McDonald would make the el Yoral vote of Indiana safe for thir democrats. *“Mc- Donald can carry Indiana by 20,000 mejority,” said Mr. Voorhees, “und he can carry New York.” The leading democrats of New York admit that Mc- Donald can carry the state.” Senator Voorhees sald he had no patience with the statement sometitucs Made that the Catholics would not support McDon- ald. “Did any Catholic ever say so?” he asked, with some warmth. “No, sir; no Catholic ever sald so. ‘The Cathoiles of Indlana are among McDonald's warmest friends and supporters. ‘They kno private life and know that tt 1s spotless. 1k: Uhat, too, Tsay I knovr his private lite has been spotiess.” ‘Mr. Voorhees sald that McDonald and Cleveland would make the strongest ticket. He Was confident that Bayard could uot carry Indiana against Blaine. Bayard’s financial views, he sald, would make him weak in Indiana and throughout the west. The idea thatthe Cathoites would object to McDonald proceeds from tie fact that he mar- Tied a divorced woman. Congressional Opinions. Judge Shelly says he thinks that the ticket will be either Cleveland and Carlisle, or Bayard and ‘Voorhees. Mr. Eldridge says that he 1s giad the letter has at last been published. He thinks tt 1s good for the party. Cleveland, he thinks, will now be the nominee. Judge Geddes sald that he had so made up his mind to the old ticket that It was hard for him at Such short notice to settle upon any other. He does ot think the party's chances of sucocss will be impaired by Tiiden's declination. In answer to the question, “Could a ticket be nouimated that could carry Oic?” he replied: “Yes; Thurman and slo- cum could carry the state. Several other tickets would be strong.

Mr. Fyan, of Missouri, thinks that Cleveland, ‘with a Western man, will be strong. ‘The most serious question concerning Cleveland's nomination 1s, whether he could secure the support of John Kelly.
