NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1873—QUADRUPLE SHEET. ‘was-ofan intense character. Mr. Fuller was nom- inated as chairman and elected; Allen H. Beebe was made secretary. ‘The meetiug was then called to order by the chairman, who ina mpeoeh lasting aD unnecessarily long time said that the depositors were called together to do something for their own rotection, and the question was which way te do his, He suggested that a reselution should be offered to appoint a committee to attend to the affairs of the depositors. Mr. Fuller then otfered the folowing resolution:—‘“That a committee of five of the depositors and creditors of the Atlantic National Bank be appointed to advise with and assist the ceiver of the bank in winding up {ts affairs by enforcin; the individual liabilities of its stockholders, ani that this committee investigate and report at a subsequent meeting such facts as they may ascer- tain.” There was a& good deal cf discussion over ‘this resolution by Mr. R, H. Rochester, Treasurer of the Western Union legraph ; Mr, Erastus Cook, Celone! Davis, Dr. Cutler, Mr. W. C. Maran and several others, The sentiments as to the way of proceeding were unanimous, however, and each time the name of Mr. Taintor was mentioned it was received with a perfect chorus of execra- tion. The meeting adjourned alter the following committee had been appointed:—W. J. A. Fuller, chairman; R. H, Rochester, Will. H. Libby, Erastus Cook, and W, C. Martin. ‘the committee ‘premised ¢o make a report next Wednesday, and then went ‘down in a body to the bank, where the members of it were treated quite cavalierly and quietly ignored. Mr. Strong told them ina qniet manner that he would give them information when he had ny Rieaele 1 the aiternoon the same rnsb to the bank took pisos, and many firms were greatly impeded by aving to transfer their notes to other banks, It “was said by one in saiboniy during the afternoon that Mrs. Taintor had started for the White Moun- taing with her three children by order of her hus- band, and Mr. Fuller, the depositor, added he had 00d reason to believe she had taken a@ part of her Dusband’s money with her. A MEETING OF DIRECTORS ‘took place during the afternoon. It was an in- formal one, and, while no definite action was taken, @ disposition was evinced by those present to put their hands in their pockets and put up the money now in deficit to pay the depositors. The dir rs are all gentlemen of great respectability, and itis very probable they may do this. : WHAT TAINTOR’S BROKERS SAY. » A HERALD reporter found out the names of some ‘of those reported as being Taintor’s brokers yes- terday and went tosee them. Mr. W. G. Wiley, of 10 Broad street, a broker said to the reporter, that he had? had some transactions with Taintor. That ‘the latter owed-him nothing, but that there was still a small batance left in hands of Taintor’s margins, but it was not much. He supposed Tatn- ‘tor had money, as his father was wealthy and gave dim the money to speculate, At the office of L. H. Niles, who was also reported 8 one of Taintor’s brokers, the clerks would neither deny nor affirm what transactions Taintor hhad with them. They gave it to be understood, however, that Taintor had speculated there, The reporter called upon a third gentleman, ‘who said he would give the information only on condition his name was not used. Mr. Taintor speculated with him and he thought all was right, as he drew checks on his own bank and had an ac- count there. He still had @ good-sized margin to Mr. Taintor's credit, but it ha Gore smalier that very day by the fall of Pacific Mail two per cent. He ‘(the broker) was loser $4,500 by the break-up of the bank. He had seen Mr. ‘Faintor at one o’clock on saturday and the latter had told him nothing of the corning sensation, He ran to the bank at five minutes to three, but was refused his moncy. Mr, Taintor told a gentleman yesterday, in Lud- Jow Street Jail, that the officers of the bank knew for five years that he was speculating. Mr. Tain- tor’s father has come from the country and is stopping at the Brevoort House. He has seen his son, and is the one spoken of in yesterday’s HER- ALD as upbraiding him. Mr. Taintor will be taken ‘before Commissioner Osborne on Wednesday, at twelve o'clock. THE Committal of the Cashier to Prison. Yesterday F, A. Taintor, cashier of the Atlantic ‘National Bank, who is charged with having embez- wled about $400,000, the property of that establish- ment, was brought before Commissioner Osborn. ‘The prisoner, who is a small, delicate man, appeared to feel considerably the position in which he is jaced, and had for his counsel Mr. John Sherwood, . A. H. Purdy, United States Assistant District Attorney, represented the government. The pro- ceedings were of an entirely formal character, Nothing being done beyond iniorming the accuse: ofthe nature of the accusation against him, and that he was committed to the custody of the Mar- shal until Wednesday, when his examination will ‘take place and the question of bail be entertained, The prisoner was then taken by Deputy Marsnal Purvis to Ludlow Street Jail.

HS SPEECH ON THE GALLOWS. [From the Hernando (Miss.) Press, April 24.] On Jast Friday Mike, alias Henry Edwards, was hanged in Hernando for the murder of Frederick Shaw, colored, on December 7, 1872, near Lake Cor- morant, in De Sote county. The circumstances and facts connected with the murder are well known to all and need not be repeated now. The diMcuity between Shaw and Edwards originated abeut a few dollars, and there was not the slight- est extenuating cireumstance connected with the murder; and the verdict of the jury—that Edwards be hanged—seemed to be received with approbation by the public. SINCE HIS SENTENCE, Immediately after Edwards’ sentence he was very insulting and refractory, and frequently boasted of what he had done and would do. He soon, though, became convinced that the time of his dissolution was near and began to think seri- ously of his future étate, confessed all of his crimes and asked for the prayers of the Church. He was constantly attended during the two weeks previ- ous to his execution by Revs. Mr. Gilbert and Rob- ertson (colored); by Rev. Mr. Spiers, of the Epis copal Church; Rev. Mr. Reid; Father Wise and Father Bennet, of the Catholic Church, He pro- fessed region a few days before his execution and was baptized on Friday, at eleven o'clock, by Mr. Spiers, HIs 10PES, On the morning of the execution he was found shivering and seemingly exhausted with grief and trouble, but about ten o’clock became very calm and communicative, He dressed himself about one o'clock in a neat suit of clothes, and conversed Deely. upon his future state and past career. He said he lelt well, and ate a hearty dinner, AT THE SCAFFOLD. At ten minutes before three he was brought from his cell, accompanied by his guard, to be carried to the gallows. His walk was steady, and he seemed not to be at all excited. At his request we went with him to the gallows. On arriving, he walked up _ tne steps and took a seat on the bench on the scaffold, together with Deputy Sheriff J. Evans (colored) and Rev. Mr. Spiers. A prayer was offered by the minister, and then Edwards walked to the front of the scaffold and Ke as. follows :— My friends, both white and black, I feel that it is my duty to say a few words to you before I leave this world, to warn you not to pursue the course that I have—to advise you to live upright and honest, and not to die on the gallows. When I was young I was streng and active. Ihada high tem- per and never tried to control it, I feared no man ‘and was never satisfied unless in fights with my fellow man, That has caused my ruin. I controlled my temper I would not have been here to-day, Then let me warn you, both black and white—I speak to both, and'especially to the young men—to govern your tempers. Do not suffer your passion to overcome you, or you will, like Mike Edwards, be called by God to satisfy the crimes you have done by dying on the gallows. have defied man, have mocked God’s work and set atnaught His commands, but justice has now overtaken me and ] am made an example for you. I deserve it. 1am not fit to live. Ihave been too wicked; but, thank God, through pve: 1 have been able to'sce a bright future and believe. I am comforted with the words, “Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and! will give you rest.’? ‘This is alll have to say. May you all live upright and honest and meet me in heaven. ‘This speech was delivered in a slow, clear voice. He stood up without the assistance of any one, and often during the delivery of his speech made ges- tures to the crowd. There was scarcely a per- ceptible quiver in his face. Alter lis speech the death warrant was read by Deputy Sheriff Evans. The rope was then adjusted, Edwards' hands and legs strapped, the black cap placed over his head, and he was carried forward to the trap, The few intervening seconds before the rope was cut he stood alone and without moving. At ten minutes past three the trap was sprung, and Edwards was sent to eternity, The fall was over three tect, He bounded in the air, but on ac- count of the knot slipping bis neck was not broken. After the fall there were one or two shrngs of the legs and shoulders, and then his bod: hung motioniess. His heart, however, did no! cease to beat until thirty minutes alter the trap waa sprung. iis pulse was gone twenty minutes after, Deathensued from asphyxia or strangula- tion, Fifty minutes past tnree he was cut down and delivered to his colored friends, Drs. Jones and Ord, attending physicians, pronouncing him dead, THE CROWD, There were about 2,000 or 2,500 people present, mostly negroes, all of whom seemed perfectly deiighted at the sight, and trequently said that they hoped that “nigger wouldn’t fool ’em like the *tother one did’? There were probably seventy-five white people present. In ten minutes after the trap was sprung ‘the black mass of beings began to scramble over the hills and were soon on their way home, per. fectly satisfied with all they saw. EDWARDS’ HISTORY. In a@ conversation with himon Friday aie after asking us to return thanks to the jailer, Mr. J. M. Clark, for his kindness and attention, and to the ministers who had ministered to his spiritual wants, he gave his history in brief. His name was. Mike Edwards; he is about five feet eight or ten inches high, weighs about one hundred and thirty- five or one hundred and forty pounds, and was very active and strong. Ilis eyes were intelligent and bright, indeed piercing, his forehead hign and prominent, mouth small, chin whiskers—lad an extra-looking intelligent face. In talking he would become enthusiastic and often smiled. He was cop- Fareaiore and claimed to have Indian blood in veins, He was born in Randolph connty, Dlinois, March 15, 1812, and was, consequently, sixty-one years old, though he did not look to be more than thirty- five. He was born of free parents, and remained in Illinois till twenty-seven years old. He went io school at Peoria, lil., about six months, and while at school shot at a schoolboy, and had to leave. He came to Mississippl in 1839, worked on the Capitol as a plasterer for some time, but afterwards, having lest his papers, was sold as a slave by a Mr. Benson, a stoekdriver, to Thomas Poindexter, of Natchez. He was in’ jail at Natchez, Meadville, Monticello and other places for running away, a8 he never would work nor suffer any one to whip him, He went as cook for some one belonging to McNair’s Rifles, of Summit, Miss., in 1861; leit them when Grierson made his raid through Mississippi and joined him; remained with him till September, 1863, when he joined Vom- any D, 102d Michigan colered troops, In Detroit fe shot a colored soidier, was arrested, but made his escape. A short time afterwards he stabbed a man in Alton, Ill, when he leit and came to Natchez. Had several fights there, and in 1871 cut @ policeman ; was tried for it and sentenced to the Penitentiary for two years. In August, 1872, he escapea from the convict camp, near Red Bank, Marshall county, and went to the bottom, where he became acquainted with Shaw, the negro he killed, He claimed to have been lawfully married to four women, ail of whom are now living; has one son going to school at Alcorn College, at Oak- land, and two or three sons at Brookhaven, Miss. His mother lives in St, Louis. He said his parents were educated and were respectable colored people. He seemed proud to say that he was not a thief and denied ever stealing anything, He summed up his crimes as jollows:—Four attempts to murder by Stabbing, four attempts by shooting, one murder by shooting, and general depravity and lewdness. He said his sentence was just, and that he haa plenty of time to retlect before he killed Shaw. He attribnted his reckless career to whiskey, women and high temper. FATAL COLLISION ON THE SOUND. Captain Marshall, of the Sloop Presi. dent, Which Was Run Into by the Schooner St. Elmo, Dies of Injurics= Coroner's Inquest. Coroner Young yesterday held an inquest at his office in the Sun Building on the body of Captain John Marshal, of the sloop President, who died in Centre Street Hospital from the effects of injuries, On Sunday morning Captain Marshall was beating down the East River, and when off College Point, L. L, the schooner St. Elmo, of Bristol, R. L, came in violent collision with his vessel, thus carrying away the head gear, causing the mast and top- mast te fall. The Captain, being at the wheel at the time, was struck on the head and his skull fractured, which some hours subsequently resulted in his death, The jury rendered a verdict corre- sponding with the foregoing facts. Captain Mar- shall was twenty-nine years of age, and lived in Greenwich, Conn. Mr. Ransom B. Gale, mate of the sioop, is ofthe opinion that the collision was the result of carelessness on the part of those in charge of the schooner St. Elmo, the owner or owners of « which will deubtjess be prosecuted tor damages, LIQUOR LAWS. fection The Methodist Preachers on Intemper- ance—Not Only Local and State, but National Prohibition Demanded—Ad- dress of Aaron M. Powell. There was a slim attendance of ministers at the Weekly meeting of the Methodist preachers yester- day. The Rev. J. B. Mervin presided, and the Rev. George Hollis opened the meeting with devotional exercises, The Rev. George Lansing Taylor, who had been appointed to open the debate on intem- perance andits relations to State and national leg- islation, apologized tor lack of preparation, owing te an acoumulation of business and absence from the city during the past week, Mr. Taylor has been at Albany advocating the passage of bills now before the Legislature against the sale of alcoholic bever- ages. He, however, had a very able substitute at hand in the person of Mr. Aaron M. Powell, the edi- tor of the National Temperance Advocate, whom he introduced, and who was by vote invited to ad- dress the meeting. Mr. Powell spoke briefly on the discouraging tendencies and indications of the times, of the increase in the liquor trafic during the past year, which has exceeded in ratio of per- centage the increase in our population, and hag been far greater than that of any former year. He regretted the increase of drinking propensities in What is called “good soolety.” There is also in- creased activity among those interested in the Mqnor traMc. These are discouraging indications, But there are, he was glad to know, MANY ENCOURAGING INDICATIONS also, Among these he named the growing ten- dency of the people to demand total prohibition. He believed there is for alcohol a place, Itis use- fal in arts and mechanics and in medicine, but it should have no part or place among us as a bever- ‘age. Mr. Powell gave an illustration of the bene- Aicial effects of local prohibition in the township of Chatham, N. J., where, a few years ago, the Legis lature passed a special act, giving the people the right to vote for or against license. The result has been manifest in the absence of crime and the in- creased thrift and comfort of the village popula- tion, He wanted to see this law applied to the State, and ultimately extended to the whole coun- try. He personally was in favor of women voting, and especially upon this question, of such vital im- portance to them. He hoped the New York Legis- lature would give the ‘local optien’” bill to the people, Here, with twenty miles of grogshops in this city, it does not look much like wictary tor the temperance cause or a lessening ol the evil against which we are battling. He also Javored the Uhio Civil Damages bill being attached to the local op- tien. But though we may get local or State pro- hibition our work will not be accomplished, and temperance men will net be absolved from their obligation, until the Aqnoc cams is destroyed aito- ether from this Jand. And they must address themselves at once to the national aspects of the guestion. The 2,000 GROG SHOPS IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL belong not only to the people of the District of Columbia, but to the people of the entire country. In the nine organized Territorjes of the United States there are, in proportion to the population, More grogshops than we have in the city of New York. He would, therefore, have the national aspect of this qnerpan always borne in mind, The example of the government—the national ex- ample—is in favor of the liquor traiic and against the temperance movement. When the first pe- tition reached Washington in favor of reviving the old Indian anti-liquor law, which bas lain on the statute books for forty years a dead letter, the Senators and Representatives passed it around from one to another, treating it asa ridiculous and fanatical movement and as a pretty good joke. But before they adjourned they began to consider it more seriously, as they found bundles of such documents laid on their desks. And when Sen- ator (Vice President) Wilson introduced THE INDIAN LIQUOR BILL, somewhat modified, to apply it to every section and all people of our country, they were not pre- pared to throw it aside, nor to treat it with dis- courtesy, The original bill is very stringent in its provisions. It gives any Indian the right to enter @ liquor store in anv part of the Indian territory and empty out the vontents of the store. It confis- cates the property upon any river boat found bear- ing liquor to any fncian territory or reservation, “We must,” Mr. Powell said, ‘make this a national question, and apply it to the District of Co1umbia and to the national Territories. In Colorado there are thirty-six distilleries and manutfactories of liquors which Pay, annually over $25,000 tax— enough to pay the President’s salary before the In- crease, and @ little over for the Congressmen. The large constiuencies of the churches nold the bal- ance of power, and they should give it to the temperance cause. Had liquor been kept out of the Indian country we should have been saved very much of our Indian troubles.” He, therefore, urged the preachers by every means in their power to favor and advance legislation against the rum trafic. MORAL Rev. GEon churches raising up a strong and healthy moral sentiment in the community against this trafic, without which he bad no faith in legislation. In- deed, he thought we had already too much legisia- tion on this subject, He reierred to the healthy growth of the Church when tt has been left un- trammelled by legislation, and he believed the temperance cause would grow cqually well under like circumstances. The Rev. GeorGe Hours thought that if the churches or the ministry have any moral power they should let it go out in the direction oi legisla- tion. He considered the liquor traile a greater evil than slavery. ‘The Rev. JOHN PARKER was as much in favor of moral suasion as his Brother Hubbell, whom he highly respected. But the facts are against it, ‘The moral power of the Church and o! the nation is weak and needs the i ee of legislation, He cited some of the New England States as examples of what may be done by legislation. The Kevs, Messrs. Morehouse, Wolff, French and others spoke briefly, and the subject will probably be continued, though next Monday is allotted to devotional exer- cises. ‘ASION BETTER THAN LEGISLATION, A. HUBBELL spoke im favor of the REAL ESTATE SALES. Boss Tweed’s Property Under the Ham- mer=Sale Postponed till May 14— Other Transactions. ‘The announcement made in yesterday's papers, ond in previous extensive advertisements by posters, by Messrs. Muller, Wilkins & Co,, that the property 922, 924, 926, 923 and 930 Broad- way, belonging to ex-Boss William M, Tweed, would be sold at auction, under a foreclosure, called together @ good attendance at the Real Estate Exchange. Mr. George De Forest Lord, the referee in the case, however, ad- journed the sale until the 14th day of May. Consequently this property was not even put up for sale, Originally these five houses, commencing on the north- east corner of Twenty-first street and running to within ninety !eet south of Twenty-sec- ond street, were purchased for Mr. Tweed by Mr. Benjamin P. Fairchild for tne sum of $625,000, Then this real estate was bought on a prospective specu- lation of receiving ‘a iront on the rear’? by the ex- tension and cutting through of Madison avenue to Union square. THE PAILURE OF THIS SALE discouraged many buyers present and the assem- blage soon thinned out—s® much so that when Mr. Muller offered four full lois on the southeast cor- ner of the Boulevard and Kighty-second street there was not even a bid made tuereon, and this choice property was withdrawn, OTHER SALES. The four story high stoop brown stone house 40 West Fourteenth street, 25x104.3, with a present ground lease irom the Spingler estate at $3800 per aunum, expiring March 1, 1574, but with covenants of renewal, was sold to Jacob Rothschild for $27,500.

About two o'clock yesterday afternoon an un- known woman, apparently about sixty years of age, visited the drug store of Dr. Irish, Fulton street, near Front, Brooklyn, and stated that she had just been reicased from hospital and that she was desirous of returning to her home in New York. She solicited two cents to pay her ferriage, which sum was given her. The woman then took her departure, but returned within a few minutes, having been taken suddenly il, From the store she was conveyed to the station house on York street, and from thence to the City Hospital, where the physicians pronounced her dying. The woman, Who was speechless when sie reached the lacter piace, wore @ striped calico dress, gray woollen shawl, check underskirt, black bonuet and new laced shoes, She died during the evening. > MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
