y WAR ON THR “RING? a er The Citizens’ Committee in Arms at Last. A Warrant of Arrest Against Mayor Hall Applied For. ‘A QUIET POLICE COURT EPISODE. Justice Bixby Cites the Mayor to Appear and Answer on Wednesday. He is Charged with Malfea- sance in Office. A Clerk in the Comptrollor’s Office Makes an Affidavit on tho Accounts, JUSTICE BiXSY “{INTERVIZWED.” Shortly after two o'clock yesterday afternoon There was a luil—a very customary incident, too— in the Fourth District Police Court, Fifty-seventh street, and the few attachés present were listlessly looking out of the windows or sitting back in tilted hairs, longing for the nour of adjournment. Justice Bixby himself did not appear to be thinking about Much of avything, or else he was thinking of some- thing very portentous, for he seemed somewhat Moody. Presently there was a tramp of feet at the door, and several well dressed. gentlemen entered and advanced to the bench. In an instant the “courtly” Justice was all atten. tion and 4 orief conversation ensued. No one pre- gent seemed to have any idea that an event of very deep importance was transpiring—thought merely “A party of the Judge’s friends.” Then followed & sort of desultory conversation, from which it appeared that a warrant of arrest was being sought, and some volumipous documents were produced, THE JUDGE SAT STRAIGHT ‘DP in his chair and then leaned forward upon his elbows and urged upon the gentlemen that it was, perhaps, not well to act too summarily 10 the prem- fses. A summary course would look like vindic- taveness, whereas a more courteous method of pro- cedure would to a certain degree disarm even par- sans, ‘The suggestion was taken in good faith, and with ‘@f evident ‘lesire not to be hasty, and by and by it leaked outithat the motion was nothing less than 0 application for a warrant upon which to ARREST MAYOR HALL, ‘Two lengthy affidavits were handed to the Judge, accompanied by or embodying an extended tabular statement. Tne Judge looked over them carefully, and observed that they were not yet sworn to, upon Which two of the gentlemen present had the oath administered and aftixed their signatures, verifying the accuracy of the facts stated under the jurat, Another desultory couversution followea, and it ‘Was finaily conceded that tue better course to be pursued was a couciliatory one. The “prayer” of the first aMdavit made by the complainant, Henry F. Spaulding, Chairman of the “Committec on Reme- dies” of the Citizens’ Executive Committee—was for the apprenension of said A. Oakey Hall, and that he be dealt with according to law. Justice Bixby could not seo the necessity of sub- mitting the Mayor of the metropolis to the indignity of actual arrest, unless the circumstances were peculiarly exacting of such a course. It would be, In fact, an indignity to the city gencrally to have its chief magistrate so harshly used. He, therefore, suggested that, inasmuch as it .would answer ail practical purposes, the complaint and afliiavits be filed iu the Court Secards, and that g summons directed to the Mayor be issued, requiring him to appear before the Court at a specified timo to answer the charges aud com- plait alleged agatnst him, No one, not even the gentlemen making tne appll- cation, would assume that Mayor Hall would avoid the process, or attempt vo flee the jurisdiction of the Court, and the effect ot the summons would be le- gally the same. Further than this, it would nave ‘he effect, if courtesy were shown, oj molllfying thé Proceedings even in thé sight of the Mayor’s most ardent friends, There was much nodding of assent and bricf questioning going on during the arrangement of there little preliminaries, and fnaily it was decided to pursue that course. ‘ THE PATERS . were handed to the Clerk and filed ta the usual form, and an ordimary summons was filled out in terms Bubpcenaing ‘the said A, Oakey Hall” to appearand testify of and concerning the matters alleged in the complait Jodged against him, on Wednesd; tne 4th day of Octoder inst., at ten o'elock A. M. © = Tai A few moments’ couversation ensued and the party of quict litigants rearranged their papers, bustled around for their hats and left the court. It was all done guietly, yet without any attempt at Btealth, and the arraignment of the Mayor, which has been the subject of 80 many rumors during the past fortnigh', was entered upon in the first steps, No one in court seemed to know the party or any of them, ana it was ouly from the signatures to the aMdavits—“H. F, Spauiding” and “William 8. Cop- land”—that any of them became subsequently known. ‘he follow: are mnt Li TBAvrts: " Foust Disrxice PoLtce Court.

Deponent fur- ther says that he bases such charges in part upon the testimony and depositions ot sald Mae! land now here belore the magistrate, and upon the further fact that in an aciton in the Supreme Court of tls State, tu which ove John Fotey 18 plaiatiit and said Mayor A. Oakey Hall and others are defendants, said A. Oakey Hall, upon the Lith day of September, 1871, interposed his swora auswer, in which he, upon oat, adinitied the willul negiect hereinbefore charged against him. Tne folowing 1s @ true copy of that part of ins sworn answer iu which he makes Buch admission:—“And deiendant has always countersigned or attested to the valiaity of any warrant without any toquiry into the nature or propriety of the ciaim comprehended in the war- Tant beyond that afforded by the approvals already given, not only of the Comptroller, as the head of the #imance Department, but of the Auditor, whose furtner duty itis, by law aud ordinance, to investi- gate and setile the same, with the siagle exception Of there appearing on the face of the warrant or the bill or the voucher, a discrepancy, an inconsis- tency or suggestion of error.” Depouent farther says that in answer to the avermoni of the compiaint in said action with respect to tue neglect In auditing fraudulent bills, 48 one of the three Auditors, under said section 4 of chapter 382 of the Laws of 1870, said Mayor stated on oath as follows:—'*And this defendant further answering avers, that whate ever were the acts alleged \o have been committed in folio 37 of complaint by this deponent they were done and cowmitied not by William M. Tweed, as ‘Commissioner of the Board of Public Works, or a3 an officer of the city government, nor by kichard B.

Uakey Hall, who, with gaid unsworn vouchers, so fraudu- Jent upon their face, before him, countersigned the said warrant, and therea(ter said warrant was signed by said Young, as Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. The said warrant was then de- livered to said Ingersoll & Co., which firm was invariably represented by James H. Ingersoll, and the vouchers were filed away in the cupboard afore- said. Subsequently, and alter said warrants went through the bank, the same were returned to the Chamberlain, aad by that official returned to the Comptrolier’s ofice, where tney were filed with the said vouchers, The entries upon the Comptroller's books were made immediately after the completion of the signatures to the warrant, and prior to its delivery to said Ingersoll, or to any other party eae money from said Department. Such entries upon the books gave no specification of the work done or materials or supplies furnished, but were confined to the names of the persons to whom the warrants were made out, the date and amount of the pavment, ang the general character of the work done, or materials or sugplies furnished. Ail of said warrants so paid to said ingersoll & Co. when returned to the Comptroller's oilice, as paid by said Broadway Bauk, bore the endorsement of satd Ingersoll & Co., Banca by said J.

A Specimen Brick of the Rustic Democracy— What He Thinks He Knows About Tam- many—Tweed and Connolly in Possession of the New Court House—A Oroll Travelling Companion. BurFFAto, Sept. 24, 1871. I have already once run through the State, on tnis my latest mission as acorrespondent of the HER- ALD, to gather by conversational intercourse with the leaders of the country democracy the settled verdict of the masses of the party outside the city about the alleged frauds upon the municipal government. Even though I have merely rushed through in a@ railroad car ata single jump from New York Ww Buffalo I nave already seen sufficient to warrant me in saying that there is far more excitement in the country districts about this matter than New Yorkers have any idea of. Let me, for example, give you an account of a ieliow pas- senger of mine on the cars to-day. He was of the tall, lean and lanky order, was THE TALKATIVE OLD MAN of seventy odd years that shared one half of the sec- tion with me last Saturday on the Central Ratiroaa. He got in the car at Syracus®, and without the slightest ceremony squatted himself down upon the seat alongside of me, to the imminent risk of de- stroying a bran new Alpine and what he calleda pair of spyglasses that were lying on the vacant cushion beside me. He was well dressed, and had the appearance of a well-to-do farmer who took the world Just as {t came, without troubling his head very much about the way other men looked upon it. Lhave metin my travels a great many talkative countrymen, in comparison with whom the garrulous women’s rights women are no- where; but this oid man went ahead of any- thing in that line that I evet came across. He had not oeen well seated ten minuies before he had asked me all about my family, how many brothers and sisters I had, where they were living, what they were doing and whether my parents were alive yet, lendeavored to humor the old fellow in everything and did my best to satisly him on all potats. The most interesting piece of news 1 gave him in answer to his queries seemed to be that 1 was fresh from New York. In fact, lat once, to all appearances, assumed great importance in his eyes when he be- came aware of the fact; for the way he spoke to me afterwards led me to believe that he had very sel- dom had the honor of benolding a regular out-and- out metropolitan. And I was right. He told me he had never been to New York in all his lifetime. On learning that I had only left the city the day before he remained silent for fully Ove miuutes, and then suddenly broke forth:— THE RUSTIC SENTIMENT, “Great place, ain't it, stranger?” Lassured him that it was @ pretty good sized vil- lage and well worth visiting when a fellow in the country had time to go there. “Be you a politician’ was the next poser. The reply was in the negative, and the old man eyed me from head to foot for a minute or two, Then throwing his big felt hat to the back of his head, and, crossing his arms & la Bowery actor statuesque style, he blurted oul:— “Waal, they be A DOIN’ OV BAD THINGS down your way, ain’t they? My boys was a talkin’ ov it totner day, and so was the neighbors. You see Bill Jourdan—you don’t know Bill, do you ’—he’s awful good reader, and he readed it tous And dye know what—lI’ve voted the democratic ticket for fifty year and more and wou’t Jo on it this time ® coming.” “Why not?’ T asked. “Tl te yer. Those sellers down your way bas 4 - been a doin’ too much for themselves, Just think ov Tweed and Connolly and all of ‘em stealing the whole Court House, and ali the money tn it |"? “What do you mean?” “Mean! Why, bless your soul, you oughter know,” and the old man looked at me suspiciously. “I mean what the papers 13 talkin’ ov. Didn't they go to work and build the Court House with THE PEOPLE'S MONEY, then put all the money they could get by taxin’ of ’em into the Comptroller’s ofice, and then hev the deed of the house made ou: to theirselves? D'ye suppose ef alot ov fellers in Schenectady—thav’s near whar I iive—wud go and do that with sonfe of our stores we'd stand it? Me and the boys hes got our dander up, and we're goin’ fer to voie to put them Tammany folks down. So be all the neigh- bors”? It was in vain that I attempted to explain matters in New York to my loquacions friend, who sald his name was Joseph Cuyler—or “Uncle Jovy,’ as they calls me,” to use his own expression, The more I attempted to show him just what THR FIGHT AGAINST TAMMANY was about the more he persisted that he and the boys and the neighbors and Bill Jourdan knew all about it, and that Bull had read in the papers that the “Ring’? had stolen the entire Court House. When I get out of thecars at this city “Uncle Joey’ was busily engaged in striking a bargain with @ candy vender, who, to his disgust, had no ‘‘tafly”” in his stock, THE COUNTRYMEN ON THE FRAUDS. It is @ long and tedious journey from New York to Buffalo, make the pest we can of it, dnd the way &@ “stranger” increases the number of his acquaint- ances along the route can be accounted for only by the fact that éverybody feels a natural impulse to chat and talk with everybody else just to Kill time for Mis own sake. I made many acquaintances during the trip, nearly every one of whom was a countryman; for after we had passed Albany tie Tural additions to our number increased at every Station we stopped. The irauds discovered ib New York city were the chief topic of conversauon with si ee when we got the Syracuse moruing apers. 1 was about to say they were tue chief opic of discussion; buy; to be candid, there was no discussion at all on the subject, Every man agreed with hia neighbor that they were outrageous, and that an example should be made of the guilty’ par- ties, Sirange to say, the most venement in their de- nuneiation I found were out-and-out democrats. [ ‘was quite amused to hear the exaggerated stories that some of these countrymen enteriained one an- other with about the fraudulent accounts—exagge- rations 1n point of the amounts stolen and the opea- handed way in which ‘THE WHOLESALE STEALING ‘was carried on. To be sure, these stories were not quite of the same ridiculous ik as “Uncle Joey’s,’’ but absurd as they were they went to show all the same what an eifect the discovery of tne frauds has made upon the rural mind, given as it ts so frecly to exaggerating everything that relates to tie metropo- lis, be it good or vad. Let me give you an example. beara quite an intelligent-looking man who lives at Dunkirk grayely tell his neighbor—as he dilated upoa @ rather jumbled account of the latest details concerning the city accounts, which he bad a moment before read aloud from & country newspaper—that he was well posted about the way the “King” were wont to steal, aud that the four men who compose It were in the hablt once & month of drawing $300,000 apiece from the city treasury, the Comptroller forging false voucnera to make everything lvok straight! And what did the man’s neighbor say to tnis, do you think? His answer was:—“I have no doubt of it.” Indeed, judging from the conversations about the frauas that I heard on the cars and at the little way sta- tions where I was enabied occasionaily to draw one of the “inhabitants” into a talk ou the subject, there ig nothing too monstrous tnat could be said about THE DOINGS OF THE “RING.” which the more ignorant masses in the rural re- gions must swallow now as gospel truth. The fig- ures paraded before their eyes as the sum total of what really has been stolen have completely upset them. Were you to tell them that the ‘iting’ had caused every conflagration that bas occurred in New York during the past ten years and had pock. eted the money in every case, 1 believe that every manu of them, while saeag his head ominously, would exclaim, “{ have no doubt of it’? JOHN GANSON, Tammany Must Take a Bnck Sent—The Masses of the Democracy Honest to the Backbone~Gloomy Prospects of the Party Both This Year and Next. BurraLo, Sept, 25, 1871. Since my arrival in Buifalo I have been abie, by conversing with the leading democrats in this sec- tion of the State, to arrive ut a pretty definite con- clusion as to what the rank and file of the country Wing of the party hereabouts think of the exposure of Tammany’s misdeeds. But I will let these'men speak for themselves, one ata time. First among the well-known democrats whom I had the good fortune to come across is John Ganson. Probably there is no one man in this State who ts better known in politics than Mr. Ganson. He has always exerted a very powerfal influence in this section of the State, and, so far as tt has lain in his power, tnat influence has always been for gool. He represented his district in the State Senate in 1863 and 1865, and made for himself quite a reputation a3 an earnest and determined foe of corruption, no matter in what shape or form it presented itself or by whom originated. Me 1s now in the prime of life, and enjoys a fame as a lawper second to that of no man in the State. I called at his cosey residence, on Delaware street, last evening, and on presenting my card ascertained that he was out visiting a neigh- bor, but I was for all that ushered into the parlor, and requested to wait while @ messen- ger went in search of him. I had not to wait long, for in less than ten minutes he came into the room and bade me welcome. [ explained in a few words that the HERALD was anxious to ascertain the real senti- ments of the country democrats in Telation to the Tammany exposures, and what effect the exposures would have in these country districts at the coming election. “Well, sir,” gaid he, ‘in these parts there is BUT ONE SENTIMENT on the subject of these fraudulent accounts.” “And what is that ?? “That is of condemnation.” “I dare say the exposures have created quite a sensation among the country democrats?” “They have indeed. The ind!gnation of the demo- crais in this portion of the State is very great, The villany of Tammany Hall is denounced upon all sides, and you will look in vain among the demo- crats hereabouts for men who will say a word in palliation of her crimes.’? “The feeling 18 all one way, then?!” “Jt is most decidedly. There are a few men, to bo sure, who in times vast received favors at the hands of Tammany, who, for instance, by her aid were successful In certain matters of legislation, who now say nothing about these fraudulent accounts that have been exposed. But they are as nothing in com- parison with the great mass of the democratic voters who OPENLY DENOUNCE TAMMANY and who will insist upon ner atter destruction, How could it be otherwise ?” “Do you mean to say that the democrats in this section of the State will vote the repub ican ticket at the next election to show their indignation at the conduct of the Ring?” “No, [do not; but I say this: T believe the country democrats will hereafter have nothing to do with Tammany. They never countenanced corruption and they don"t mean to commence to do so now, The democratic party was never kK 20wn as 4 party ‘Unat favored corruption, and the pe ople well under- stand this iact. You can rely upon this, that here- abouts THE RANK AND FILE of the democracy from this out are heart and soul against Tammany. The fact 1s she has rued too long for the good of the party, and the ‘ing’ must go down; it must be crusied out of existence, else tne party will go down. There ts no alternative. 1f Tammany Hail triumphs the party 15 lost. She must be thrown overboaril.’” “Do the democrats in these parts, from the efforts made by, the Young Democracy, expect to get into power’? “They care nothing whatever about any faction one way or the other, ani will have nothing to do with any clique or faction, no matter under what guise it may appear. it has been in years past just as much as could be done for the sake of harmony in the party to prevent the country democrats from | sending’ Tammany, wita her pretensions, about her business at the State conventions, The storm has been iong prow rae. “Supposing that Tammany attempts as of old to RULE IN THE COMING CONVENTION 7? “Tf she does and succeeds, then the party may as well, first as last, give up the struggle as lost; for ‘he country democrats will have none of her, If she should succeed in controlling the onvention— that is, if the efforts of the New York "Ring" should be such that the action of the Convention should appear as dictated by Tammany—the State will gO against the party by 200,000 majority, That is just a# certain as Tammany succeeds, ’? ad can she ayold making her old efforts to rale «is She must not comé Into that Conventior even to attempt to rule or dictate, She must come ln with HER HRAD BOWED DOWN, She voust ve submissive, Nothing eize will satisfy the country democrats, who sinée the exnosures of the frauds in the city accounts have become thoroughly aroused.” : “vo you mean that Tammany at the Convention should aj submissive for the sake of ” ewornhiy of the Kind, Something more than. sp pearances is 1m} tively det |, and will find it out e attempts to rule a oar that isthe. part of every Bae atcalt Patty sk ‘ride by hee actions. that she ‘under. others, and shows by her actio a Rt ther position, all will be weil. if not, oot. ‘Th he situation exactly.” “What if there should be two delegations from New York?” A “The country members of the party, at least in this part of the State, as far as I know, care Waatever about any clique or faction in New York. They will bave no aMilation with one. The Convention will treat New York as 16 will treat every other city and district. It will admit no delegation from New York that 1s not sent by and that does not represent the democrauc voters. When I say it — what Ww If she comes into delegation to take in as one delegation, do this I only say what I feel i¢ should and believe it wilido, Of what avail are elect if the people are not represented? 1n years past they have not done right in this delegation business in Ne’ York, and it is high time it was stopped, ‘The Con- vention should admit no delegation that represents only a clique, A FACTION OR A RING, / or three or four individuais solely, It will admit a delegation that gives the proper evidence that it represents the people, and none otner.” } “Then your idea 1s, I take it, that the country members of the party in the State care no more for the outside factions calling themselves democraw than for Tammany Hall?” “As far as their squabbles and straggling for Power is concerned they care nothing tor either. They take no interest in them, and they will let them fight out their own battles by themseives.”” “What do you think of the chances of the party to carry the State next election?” “The success of the party depends upon the war the Convention acts regard to Toppy. as have said before. I know that any man who is sus- pected of being a friend of Tammuny, or who would amMliate with the ‘Ring’ in apy way, would be over- whelmingly defeated. No mutter who the man might be, or what he may run for, the case would be the same. The fact is, @ democrat who wishes to i oee to eliner branch of the Legislature must be FREE FROM ALL SUSPICION J of having any leaning towards Tawmarty. It will not do stinply to talk ugainst fraud and corruption; the country democrats want no man who Will, ev ailer he is elected, aiiliate in any way with the Ring. Any man whom the electors believe would go with Tammany in any of her schemes will, I feel. assured, be certainly defeated.” “Ot course the Convention to be heid at Rochester will have to make their platiorm accurdingiy 1’ “You must understand that 1 am giving you tn re- lation to all these matters only my individual opinion, Now, a3 to the platform, my opimon is that the Convention must take some action in rela- tion to these frauds in New York—that 1s, among their resolutions have an unmistakably strong one against corruption that nobody can misinterpret."? ‘ei you suppose Tammany wiil try to defeat 1s “I have no idea what she may do. It would be very foolish for her to try anytuing of the kind. I think the best thing Tammany can do is to send to the Copvention a delegation of hbigh-toned, Tespectable men, weil known to the péo- pile for thetr good quaities, and whom the people can trust. ‘nis would go @ great way toward making matters smooth for her in we Conveistion and be au evidence to the Convention that her delegation came there in their capacity solely of representatives of the people and not of any clique. ?? “I have heard It satd that the country democrats in some parts of the State regard the (uss in New York merely as @ local affair, which they ought to take no notice ul.” “That's all nonsense, Where can you find any such meny There is no use begging the question. The peo} understand right well that Tammany Hail has mn seeking to get control of the national admimstration, aud whea Tammany fall is men- tioned, with say, it is the same as the democratic party. She has been the ruler ta this State, and everybody knows it, and either SHE MUS! 8B SHAKEN OFF or the party is gone to the dogs. And yet people talk about the democrats winning the Presiien- tial election in 1872. 1 have never beer very nopeiut on that score, anu since the exposure of this Tau- many business [ have come to the conclusion that the party won't have tne ghost of a cuance if Tain- many 13 lopger allowed the voice slie has had so far ta its councils The people all oVer (ue country un- derstana what a power Tatpmany has been. In fact, thousands speak of her aud the democratic party in the one breath, as if they were one aad the Same thing, and inthe face of these exposures, with ‘Tammany kept In power, what chance could the party have to win? iy certainly has been very powerlul tn years ast. z “Why, sir, there never was such a powerful or- ganization in the worl, itis mot yet totally dead, aud it will require even yet a great (eal to Kill it.’ “Tammany Was often a great help to the country districts in election times, Waso't sey? “She was, She hag spent money freely in dis tricts where MEN OF HER CHOICE or liking were nominated, and L wil concede that to those big majorities that she rofled up in New York city is due the securing Of power by the party in this State, But all that cannot compensate lor tie villanies that have yeen brought home io her. ‘The fact 1s, the people in the country districts, as far as I can learn, are not only thunderstruck at the reve- lations made about those gigautic irauds, but, what 1s more, tuey believe them to be true, “You speak about Tammany sending good, re- spectable men to the Conveution.
