Affidavits in Denial of Charges Against Mr. James Terwilliger. Public Officials May Be Sued by Private Citizens, ALBANY, Jan. 16, 1872, If coming events always cast their shadows be- Gore 10 18 safe to presume, from present appearances, shat the current week will be traught with interest do the circles now looking to the results of im- Mediate legislative action. Whatever the coming events may be the ‘‘shadows” are decidedly healthy @nes—solid looking, bronze faced, “kip’’-booted, contract-fatted canalers, diamond-studded, semi- Fepubiiban, metropolitan ofMice-holders; light and Deavy lobbyists and hordes of seekers after pap and Rowlers for any reform that may bring corn to their mills. Most of these had left home, of vourse, before Ahey could have known of the measures introduced atthe sessiom last evening; but they evidently ex- pected some matters to be broached early in the ‘week in which they may be deeply interested. Among those who have arrived is Comptroller Green, ‘with his counsel Strahan and his confidential clerk; also Commissioner Van Nort, the reform Alderman Wonover, Nicolson pavement Waterbury and a num- ber of others from the city, ail interested, of course, 4n the bill relating to the raising of money for the payment of salaries and claims now due by the city ‘and coupty of New York. The bill introduced by Mr. Twombly last week, and which 1s to be the spe- ial order for to-morrow, 1s regarced, as I stated on Friday last, with much suspicion by the ultra repub- licans and reformers for whom Colonel Hawkins ts Scung 28a mouthpiece. It seems somewhat singu- Jar, indeed, that Comptroller Green could find no ‘Warrior to fight for him among THE “REFORMED” DEMOCRATS. ‘The vencrable Sammy might, rightly be expected to be the champion who should wield the sword in favor of the measures which Comptrolier Green and nis advisers deem necessary for the proper management of the monetary affairs of the metropo- iis, Sammy, however, has not been as attentive to his duties ashe should have been, and unless he improve in this respect he must lose whatever ome plawvitie exeae for ‘their votes tn the service of = tn wre “rin To ths ead some oil that may = appear on its jace to be a relormatory measure, white i fact leaving the power silll im the hands o1 Geuld and his gang, is regarded aa a necessity, and itis rumored that the present Supervisor's dodge 1s of that character. It 1s singniar that snch @ measure should be introduced by Mr. Stranan; bat then ne only presents it vo the Assembly “by request.” THE CHARGES AGAINST SENATOR WOOD. The Wood Invesugating Commttiec held their first meeting to-day, but the sitting was not a pubs he one, and thus the pewapenet correspondents were uuable to obtain the particulars, 1 understand that Senator Wood is as confident as ever that when the committee get through with their lavors the public will me satisned that he has been all along a@ very badly end avery unjustly abused man. Your correspondent endeavored yesterday to obtain from him ap ex- Janaon as to that mysterious bank account in the wiing Green, but ne was unwilling Uo talk on the subject, Inasmuch as 1 would be, in bis opimion, discourteous to the investigating committee to make a statement of the facts In the case to a news: paper while the investigation was pending. It should be borne in mind by those who find it dimecult to see why fault should ibe found with sel tor having made a@ certain deposit of a certain amount in a certain bank just alter @ certain day when a bil, rumored to have been engineered through the Legislature by bribery, had succeeded in passing; that Mr. Wood lives at the extreme end of one portion of the State, while the bank he made the deposits in 1s located at the extreme end of the other portion. ‘his fact, once known, will go a great way to explain why it isthe Charges against the Senator have created such a wide- Spread interest, not only among his fellow members Nn the Senate, but among politicians of both parties atthe capital. At first blush it does seem rather absurd to base @ charge of corruption against a Senator simply because there was what some people call “a strange coimcidence” in the mutter of a bank deposit of his being made a few days after a bad bill was voted for by almost trvo-thiras of born houses; but after all tnere may REASONS FOR GRAVE SUSPICION in the present matter, notwithstanding. Those who are anxiogs to see the Sepator convicted base ther hopes on this point—that the Bowling Green Bank was a Ring bank, and a savings bank at that, and it ig very strange that he should deposit the $16,000 in the bank, and that particular oank, when he could have deposited it in one of the national banks, where it could be drawn out by check in instaiments, ashe alleges it was put in for that particular purpose ior the sole and exclusive benefit of a bosom friend of his. 1t 18 said that the Serator has already Made a statement to the committee which is no- thing more nor less than the same “exhibit of facts’? he intended to make public some time ago, but which he did not make, owing to circumstances over which he had no control. Itis well known Unat last month he explained to Mr, James C. Jack- son ail about the depostis made in the bank. It cannot be doubted, thereforelore, that his state- § ment before the committee will in any- wise differ from that already made, and as well under the circumstances may refer to it here, or rather to explain what the ex- planation was. The truth of the whole bank matter ‘was, he said, that the account referred to was not his account, but that of another man, a friend of h in the city of New York, whom he was trying to in his business matters, ‘‘] raised and deposited to my credit $10,000,” says the Senator, “‘beeause it was thought better, as he was in embarrassed circumstances, that it should ve in my name rather than his. The bank book and check book were ieft with bim, with blank chevks signed by me. Every dollar of it he drew out and invested in his business. ‘The $5,000 was borrowed by me ofa friend in tue country to aid acilent who was IN EMBARRASSED CIRCUMSTANCES, and whose iand was about being sold ‘on fore- closure of mortgages. 1 took an assignment of the mortgages and assigned them to that friend, who now holds them as collateral security , to the Joan. That bank account does not show ail the money raised by me or on my credit for that New York busineas. The deposits made in the year 1871 came irom that business, and were deposited to my creait tor my own benefit, as | was lable for the loan made. In short, the whole thing 1s a legitimate busipess Wansacton.!, pount is ¢! eee 4 Véry good on its face, as far as It g ut Senators Ames and Allen, who pear very anxious to get at all the tacts in the case, may Tequire a still more extended exlubit as to the transactions made for the benetit of the Senators’ two friends in need, If Mr. Wood took aD assignment of the mortgages he refers to, as he says he did, and assigned them to one of his needy friends, he will, no doubt, during the investigation be able to get that friend to show them to the com- mittee, Indeed, if this first explanation of his is worth anything at all, 1t will be absoluicly neces- sary that he should produce them. It may be in- cumbent also upon Mr. Wood to go into a little de- tall as to the moneys ed by him, which he says the bank deposits which have given rise to s0 much discussion do not entirely account tor. However, until the committee have made their report people should suspena their judg- as to his ae guilt Who knows but that in the long run he may be able to turn the weight he might’ carry. But to return to dbe vill authorizing the raising of money by the (omptrolier, As above mentioned, the ultra reformers regard the bill with much suspi- cion; they claim thatit is not what it seems. Trae, Atgives Mr. Green a place with others (the Mayor ‘and Commissioner of Public Works) in the Board to make up the estimates, but wey claim that the ‘Voices would be as two to one; that Mayor Hall is one of the “Ring,” and that Commissioner Van Nort is owned by the ‘‘king,’’ through Hank Smith, who directs Twombly, and that, therefore, little or no reformation could be expected. In all this ‘here is evident the existence of the bitter- ness of feeling to which I have frequently Pigdee. a8 existing between the Custom House and Greeley- Me republicans. In the eyes of the former Twom- Diy bas committed ne 4 GRIEVOUS CRIME, He appeared at the Greeley republican meeting and made a speech, and, furthermore, he appeared at the meeting of tne Board of Aldermen on Satur- @ay, and sat besile Conover when the latter made ‘hat memorable speech in favor of ‘sticking to an agreement,"’ the remembrance of which agroe- ment, by the way, 1s due, it is said, in @reat measure to the appearance of Senator ©’ Brien in New York on Friday and Saturday last. Twombiey’s bill must needs, therefore, contain some “nigger,” and to onset this Hawkins introduced to- Gay a much shorter pili, which gives the Comptroller andividually the power to issue bonds to the amount ©T $4,500,000, from the proceeds of which he is to pay all salaries and ciaims justiy aue in the several departments named, from which the Department of Public Works, Department of Parks and rents for @rmories and drill rooms are excepted. {t is prob- able that a motion to substitute this bill for Twom- Dley’s will be made to-morrow, when the latter comes up for discussion, and will give rise to 4 BITTER FACTION FIGHT, wWoich will show the drift of affairs, and which, unless I am greatly mistaken, will give the people Of the great city little reason to hope for any real reformation. The republicans here lug im the cry of reform and play on the name and fame of Charles O’Conor to give effect to the measures they ‘wish to put through: but in all their manuvres there 1s evidently a long look ahead—not to the success Of the reform movement, not wo the relief of the metropolis froin the load under which tt now staggers, Hot to the immediate securing of the results for Which the people clamoured in the late election, but to the ulsimate ascendancy of this or that faction and the assurance of the Presidential pomination, True, al) sorts of investigutions in the supposed interest ol reform have been ordered, put it ts a notable fact that, as resolution aiter resolution calling for an investigation here or there is pre- sented, any amendment to have the imvestigation made without EXPENSE TO THR STATB ts summarily voted down by the majorizy in the House. Jacobs regularly offers the amendment, and, of course, puts the majority on record every Ume as voung agalust retrenchment. To-day, for mstance, vestigations were ordered Into the man- agement o! the Stale prisons by Mr. Peck, of Brook- ayn, and into the Kegister’s and County Clerk's ollices by Mr. Whitbeck. To the latter | alluded in my despatch of last night, and it i safe to say that tie intimation of anything improper or tiegal in the Vounty Clerk’s office will astonish the od hghts ot New York and the thousands of ers who bave transacted business with that omMve under its present administration, The 1u- mation does not come from aay lawyers, ana it 1s claimed by the Iriends of Mr. Loew that he, naving been time and again complimented by the bar of New York, has no reason to fear, but wili favor the most rigid scrutiny taat can be made. THE GRAND JURY BILL ed the House to-lay by a vote of 89 to 13 and without debate, Those who voted against it were Messrs Aitken, Blair, Buell, Chambers, Covok, Couch- wan, Fields, Frear, Moseley, Kay, Roche, M, M. Townsend and Wiley. This wil be hailed in New York, no doubt, with much relief, but te work of relieving the Grand Jury of the General Sessions does noi stop here, as Prince, of Queens, introduced a bill repealing that pari of the Jury bill which pro- hibits that jury from transacting any business whue whe jury of the Oyer and Terminer is 10 session, MR.

AS IDvVestigations seem to ve the order of the day, and charges ure flyiug around against ull sorts of officials in oMce and ex-oiticials who are anxious to get at the spoils again, it may be ot in- terest to mention that from present indicatioi the raid thatis to be made upon the Insurance partment promises to be a very tively one, In- deed, I have been informed by one of the reform members irom New York that the Committee on Insurance have eine 4 in their possession facts which Mr. Muller will have to explain away very speedily if bis ety eta lor honesty amounts to anything. The member I have referred to tells me G Dat 6 sa ow I this cy who will GA age: Gg via Haat Pitt T Mitanea company in New York was ‘within $10,000 of going by the board,” and that when the examiners of the Insurance Department calied upon the com any and found out how matters were, that a hhousand dollar check was offered to cover up tne thing so that the company cou.d go ou with tts business. ‘We take no checks,’ was the reply of the Insurance Department official, “Then,” says the member, ‘the money was PAID DOWN IN GREENBACKS, and the company went on with its business as usual.” 1 was informed by this same member that after the Chicago fire examination was made into the. affairs of a certain company, and the insurance officials pronouncea the company solvent, ‘What can wedo for you for ali the trouble you have en,” askea one of the company’s officers. jothing,”’ was the reply. The next day two checks for $250 each were sent to the officials, and they were not returned to the senders. “iow do you know,” L asked the member ailuded to, “that that $1,000 was paid down to the Insurance Depart- Ment officials?” ‘Ine man who handed the money over to them 1s ready to swear to it before the com- mittee,”? was is answer. 1 may add that tue gentie- man who gave me this information is a member of the Insurance Committee. Whether Mr. Mil- ler knew anything avout the trausactious mentioned I know not. Probably he will be avle to tell the cominittee himself. At any rate it may be taken for granted that the investiga- lion into the affairs of the Insurance Department Will be thorough. Ifthe charges made against it are groundless the investigation will of course do te department no harm: but if they are proven the resuit will be a very serious oue to Mr. aliller, A CIVIL SERVICE JOKE. Senator Lord must have been in an exceedingly facetious mood this morning whea he introduced a series of resolutions calling for civil service reforms in the distribution of eater | svon to be made by the Canal Board. The Senator in the preamble referred at length to the remarks lateiy made by Koscoe Conkilug on the civil service business, and then wound up as follows:— “Thege resolutions embody the principles of a vill passed here last winter; but the Governor in tls wisdom tailed to sign it. [am happy to say, how- ever, that, juding from his late message, his views on the subject have entirely changed. His hss! cgi tw the bill last year was that 1 too much power in the hands these men, anit this year he is willing to place the same power in one man’s hands, The reason I offer these resolutions is that the Canal Board is weighed down with a weight they can hardly bear. The Attorney General has been appealed to in the matter of the appoint ments; bul ne says he knows nothing about the q An patton necessary for oMicers under the Canal ward. The resoluttons seemed 30 create a great deal of merriment among the republican Senators, the par- ucular Way aud wherefore of which was not very apparent, although it is barely possibie tnat the mere fact of sucn resolutions proceeding jrom the source they did Was of itself suficicnt to excite their ristbles, Indeed, Lord himself contd not suppress a smile when ne took his seat, which became a broad grin when he caught sight of Lewis and Bowen with their heads together, both laughing quite heartily, It tell to the lot of Madaen to make the first move to get the resolutions out of the way, and he did so for the time being, by having them laid on ‘he table, This move, however, he knocked in the head a few imiuntesaiterwards by having them reterred to the Canal Cou mittee, where they will sleep qmetiy anu peacea- Diy until all the appointments on ine canals wi have been made. Then we wii, in ait provabulty, hear of them again. AN OLD GAME FOILED, Impecunious villages, who want to butid their local institutions with the aid of State mouey, may as well not ‘try i on’? with this session. At Jeast, they will stand a very poor chance of success if they do, judging from the way the Senate disposed of the wil reiating to the village of Salem, which oniy asked for the loan of $10,000 from the State to erect a schoolbouse. The bill provides that the village could issue bonds to that amount, to be paid twenty anDual instalments, senator Lewis, ever | watchful of tne people's interests, gave it its quietus, however, by having it referred back to the Committee on Literature. He intended to have it sent back with instructions to the committee to strike out the section which empowered the Comptroter to issue nis warrant jor the $10,000, bul withdrew the motion to sinke out at the earnest solicitation of Mr. Baker. The resait Will be the same, however: the bill wili not pass in its present shape, It is more than probale, should it ever become a law, that two or turee years from the present time a bill would find its way into twe Legisiature authorizing the viilage to cancel the bonds issued, thus leaving the Stave educational | introduce a bit whteh would, in his opmion, make | connty and municipal authoriues personally respon- sible for the tnauagement of the fuuds under their control, He believes, strange to say, that if it be- comes @ law it will be an effectual estoppel on em- bezziements alter the New York King fasion.

Colonel Vennis is the candi- date of the Baltimore and Obio Railroad, he bemg & director in that corporation, The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad interest has swept tne State thus far and has named the candidates for all the offices Within the git of che Legislature, and it is but fair to presume it wil be paramount 10 this matter, Gep- eral Vickers, the present incumbent, has a number of sirong inends, however, who think he should be revurned, ; Tne selection of @ Senator was left to the mem- bers trom the Hastern Shore by a vote in the caucus of democratic members; but they may, by their Multitude of candidates and todecision, deteat their own Wishes. Strong hints are occasionally thrown out that if they do not soon 1X upon some particu- lar candidate, the Western Shore will interiere and elech the new Governer, W. Pinkney Whyte, which is undoubtedly the programme nxed upon and Jor a long time contemplated, By the election of Mr. Davis as State Treasurer, the Board of Pubilc Works have been organized en- Urely In the iuverest Of tae Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The present efficient President or whe Chesapeake and Obio Canal will probably be re- moved, and Robert Fowler appointed 10 his place. ‘Yhis 18 understood to have been fixed upon and will give the canaito the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road, and it 1s but fair to conclude, impair its use- lulness as @ rival to that corporauion aud & means Of emolument to the State, By provision of the constitution both houses of | the Legislature will meet to-morrow and each suc- ceeding day thereafver uutil a Senator is elected and take @ joint bailut, but it 18 not at all probable that @ choice will be made for some time to come, SENATOR HARLAN’S SUCCESSOR.
