The autumn meeting was inaugurated yevterday at the Fleetwood Park with two capital trots. The day being favorable for the sport and the track in excellent condition, fair time was tne result. | There is no doubt, however, that much beticr | could have been made and other horses have won than those who did the 2:45, had not that bugbear, “time” record, been in the way; but, to be truthtul, few trote are won mowadays by the best horses. Like the majority of trotting events, the fastest horses are content with second money. The patrons of the trotting turfare tiring of this kind of business, and to a ‘surety it will not be long before the gates of the best tracks in the country will be closed and the grounds devoted to the advancement of big cab- sages instead of the trotting norse.

COMMISSIONERS OF EMIGRATION. Se OTT STF MER The Question of Religio: Castle Garden. The Commissioners of Emigration held their regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon, Commissioner Hurlbut in the chair. It was resolved that a quorum shall consist of six members of the Board, and not five, as had been agreed upon by the majorit7 at a previous meeting. Notice was given by Commissioner Forrest of a motion to amend the bylaws Ly making, in cases of appointment or removal, the carrying vote to consist of the yeas or nays of the majority of aii the members of the Board entitled to vote. A communication was read from the secretary of an Evangelical society requesting permission jor the Rev. Mr. Newman to preach on Sunday. mornings at Castle Garden. This request gave rise to a rather lengtny debate, during which some severe remarks were inade by Commissioner Ste- phenson relative to the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Newman, He said he had reason to kuow that Mr. Newman had been in the habit of dealing in the sale of railroad tickets to emigrants, and this he considered very tmproper. Oommissioner Kaufmann in reply said Mr. Newman had turned over the money 80 received to the society with which he was connected. The general impression among the Cowmissioners was that no religious service should be held on Sundays at Castie Garden, as there were several churches of ali denomina- lions not half &@ mile away; and, besides, if clergy- men of ove denomination had the privilege of holding services in the Garden clergymen of ail other denominations would be entitled to the same bilvilege, and the result would be great confusion, Services at | At the request of Commissioner Hurlbut no more definite action was taken upon the communication than (0 lay it on the table. ‘This leaves the matter Seed pind vo aN and the Commissioners e 0 have got nd Rcaused tuem. @ of the annoyance which Some difficulty having arisen recently between the Superintendent of Ward's Isiand’ and the General Superiutemient under the Board, the question at issue was delerred for consideration to some future time. > The joliowing charges were made:—John Lynch, clerk in the Treasurer's Department, was removed, and Charlies Dolan appointed in his place; John Downey was appointed gatekeeper in place of James Rose, removed; James McCann was ap) night watchman; George J.

The meeting was, if anything, less of a success than the one held last Saturday, at which avout twenty-five youths, all aspirants for Aldermanic fame, were present, There were about fifty persons in the room last night, the maior part having come to see | what was going on. Of the following Committee on Organization about six were preseni, the heavy guns failing to “come to time:?—Oswald Ottendorfer, R, W.

A MESSAGE FROM THE BARBECUE. Among the lists presented was*one from M. T. Brennan, who, it is generally stated, ia going to go for Senator Tiemann’s place, which is to be vacant in Nuvemver next. Lawrence Kernan also sent a list, but the names on it could not be learned, the papers being collected and held by the Secretary. hen the papers were all in, John Voley rose ana said that papers or lists would be given tothe enrollers in each district, that they might leave them in the public places in their respective localities, that the citizens might have an opportunity of coming forward and en- listing under the banner of reform, VIRTUE NOT ITS OWN REWARD, If the people tu the several districts do not take to the alfur voluntarily, Mr, Foley says, it will be the duty of the committee to go to every house in the district and soitett names to fhe paper und to help and cheer the missionaries in the good works, A prize is offered by the association. The committee that gets the greatest number of names to its list is to have the handsome sum of $250 re- warded to it, and $600 is to be divided among the three next best. WORDS OF WISDOM. Alter making this statement Mr. Foley said tnat the lists would be carefully inspected, so there would be no use getting the Directory and copying it on paper, GREEN'S REFORM. + On being questioned by one of the gentlemen resent on the state of the city’s finances mr. ‘oley said that the whole debt of the city was about $200,000,000, $100,000,000 of which Comptrol- ler Green was responsible for, Every day this debt is increasing, and the city 18 in a very quick- sand o1 liabilities, An address was read by the Secretary, in which honest men were called ‘npon to make anew and vigorons effort to dethione crime and redeem the citt’s fair name, The meeting, on motion, adjourned to meet again on Thursday at eight P.

Is There a Nigger in the Fencet—Action of the Board of Aldermen Yesterday— The Legal Line of Koch as Against the Legislatare’s Acts. There seems to be @ great deal of difference of opinion among the politicians just now as to whether the city ought to have anew city prison or not. building has been decided upon by the Commis- sioners authorized by the Legislature to act in tae matter, there has been considerable talk as to there being a big job in the ting, and the call last week by eight of the Board of Aldermen for a special meeting to be held yesterday, to consider the subject of the site, gave color to many of the ugly rumors afloat about the jobbery part in the proposed institution, A PROTEST FROM TAXPAYERS, The Board met yesterday in pursuance of the call, and the ball was opened by Mr. Koch, who presented, on behalf of the taxpayers of the city generally, and the property owners in particular who reside in the vicinity of the site selected, a remonstrance against the selection. Among other Teasons urged against the action of the Commis. sioners was that a great deal of expense had been incurred by property owners in the neighborhood in the widening of Vanal street some years ago, and that it has become an important centre ior the furniture trade, in Which over $30,000,000 is now invested, ‘his business, they think, would be rumed by the erection of a prison in whe locality proposed, ‘They, moreover, add that they are of opinion that the “whole thing’? will cost $6,000,000, and that, judging from the experience of the city in the butiding of court houses during past years, they betleve that the cost of the building and site wili in the end be $12,000,000. CAN THE TOMUS BE IMPROVED? The reading of the remonstrance over, Mr. Koch presented a resolution, with a long ‘“whereas,’? about overburdened taxpayers, and all that, in Waich it was deciared that the present city prison can be enlarged and improved and made in every Way suitable, aud that, cousequentiy, the Commis- siohers be requested to discontinue all proceediugs in the matter of se!ecting the site until some future time, Wuen the taxpayers are better able to bear the burden. A DECISIVE STEP. A desultory discussion ensued upon this resolu- tion, a large majority being evideutly in favor of 1t; and, finaily, Mr. Van Sciaick otfered, a8 a substi- tute, which was accepted and adopted, that the Supreme Court be petiuoned to postpone all pro- ceedings in the matier of the site until the 13th of Octover. d ‘The question, on motion of Mr. Monheimer appoint a select committee. before whom taxpay- ers might appear and present their views on the subject, was then taken up, and Messrs, Van Schaick, McCafierty and Kocu were appointed as the committee. NO MORE COURT HOUSE JOBS WANTED. The Board at this stage adjourned, The commit- tee immediately met, aid ex-Alderman Radde a peared before It and made a few remarks. He argued that the Board ought to move carefully in the matter, and so act that there would be no room for corruption. He believed that there were plans being set on loot to make “a big job” out of the erection of the prison, and it was Just this that the taxpayers were anxious should not occar, NO NOTES, NO ARGUMENT. Mr. Jenney was Se as a protesting tax- payer, but he hadn’t bis “notes” with him, and so jad reluctantly to take @ back seat, promising, however, to give the committee a piece of his mind regarding the site of the proposed prison at the hext meeting oi the committee, A LEGAL ALDERMANIC AR Mr. Koch, one of the committee, then got up and veutilated his ideas about the new city prison. To aake limself better understood he got possession of a copy of the Session Laws of 1873, and for nearly a half hour held his hearers speli-bound by the profundity of his legal argument, the gist of Which went to show that he Knew more than all the Legisiature roiled into one Aiderman, THe VALUE OY OBSCURITY, Tic traced in lively colors, tie conscientious travels he had made through the city prison, and how he had not let even a pipe (le did not spe- chy what kind) escape his notice.

THE -BROOKLYN.. FRAUDS. What the Defaulter, Rodman, Confessed to the District Attorney—The Chief Culprit, Ex- Treasurer Cortland A. Sprague— The Deputy To Be Used as State's Evidence. The action of District Attorney Britton in caus- ing the arrest of the ex-City Treasurer, Cortland A. Sprague, has caused much commendation on the part of the public. In conversation with the Dis- trict Attorney yesterday that oMectal stated that he believed he haa gotto the bottom of the Rod- man robbery, and that the ex-Deputy Treasurer, Rodman, who is now in jail, charged with em- bezzling $140,000 of the city funds, had made a con- fersion to him. Mr, Britton said that immediately upon his return from Europe. last week, he com- menced to examine the iacts in the case, and in the course of forty-cight hours he ascertained be- yond @ doubt that Mr. Sprague was the chief cul- prit in PURLOINING THR CITY MONEY. Without going into detatls, I derived my clew from a source not before accessible to my assist- ant, Mr, Cullen, who, despite every effort, had been unable to obtaia information sufficient to jus- tily legal action. Upon the facts gained upon that clew I had Mr. Sprague arrested yesterday. The resnltof that arrest was that Mr. Rodman, with the assent of counsel, made a statement to me of the entire matter from the beginning, which state- ment 80 conclusively corroborates the evidence before in my posseasion that I bave the most im- Plicit confidence in it. In the first place it has con- firmed me in my belief tuat Mr. Sprague 1s the ‘most culpable, and that Mr. Rodman, although cub pabdle in a degree, has in the main been an instru- ment rather than anactor. The City Treasury funds have been used by Mr. Sprague sor specu- lative purposes and loans for the benefit of him- self, Rodman and Ethelbert §, Mills since a very short time alter Mr, Sprague was elected City Treasurer, It was agreed between Mil.s, Sprague and Rodman, iv the beginning, that they should loan city funds so far as was practicable, and should, after paying the city the three per cent which it was entitled to receive irom the Trust Company, divide the balance of the profits on the loans between them. By deducting trom the amount duly received from the city a ceriain pro- portion for their own use and depositing the same in the Trust Company, or some one of the other city depositories, with the balance thus accumu- lated, and of which there was @ private memoran- dum kept, they OPERATED YOR THEIR PERSONAL BENEFIT. For instance, if $100,000 was deposited to-day by the Tax Collector they would, on the City Treas- urer’s check, pass $70,000 to the credit of the city and retain $30,000 for their own use and deposit it either to their personal credit or retain it in the general account until opportunity presented itself for “judicious investment.” The first loan made was, at the instigation of Mr. Mijs, to John K. Pruyn, then President of the now defunct Central Bank. It amounted to $55,000, which money, how- ever, 1 am informed and believe, was by Mr, Pruyn reloaned to Mulls, either in whole or in part. The Central Bank failing, the money was lost, and it was then agreed between them (Sprague, Rodman and Mills) in writing that they should mutually divide the loss, The loss, however, has been carried for- ward from time to time, and never has been made up. Among other loaus made was one to “Mulford & Sprague’’—Sprague’s business tirm—of $35, subsequently Increased by an additional loan of $26,000. ‘Phat loan was Subsequently repaid in in- staiments, the last bemg made on July 22, 1873, upon the check of J. B, Murray for $5,000, Loans were also made on Jefferson car stock to Smith Baker, who was a friend of sprague’s, and in whose enterprise, ] am iniormcd, Sprague had an interest. fie also loaned THE PROSPECT PARK CLUB $12,000, which was stolen from the city treasury. He (Sprague) loaned the Long Isiand Club $10,000 ona eheck that was stolen money. He loaned $3,600 to oue Collier, who Was his horse map, and who bonght with it, the black mare Evelyn, he (Sprague) bemg joiht owner ol it. The secunty for that loan Was a ticket put in the drawer. ‘To the Hope Mutual Lite Insurance Company, he (Sprague) LOANED SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, STOLEN MONEY. In this company Sprague was largely interested, He orehased 1,000 worth of Trospect Park stock with money taken directly srom the city treasury. He subscribed $2,000 towards the construction of the Brooklyn Papers jaken. from the city treas- ury. He took $2,600 Long Island Club bonds when the club was organized, and id for them with city money. These facts that | Lave given you are nowW indisputabie, and they fully corroborate Rod- man’s statement that all of the deficient money went directly to Sprague, Mills and their friends, and that he (Kodman) never received $1 of the princiral stolen, although, as he admits, he did re- ceive his share ot the interest on the loans made according to the original agreement. The extent of Rodman’s culpability, in my opinion, is summed upinthat, 1 have been unavie tind, after all my investigation, that any person other than the three named had any knowledge that the civ moneys were being used in the manner described. Rodman asserts positively that, 80 far as he knows or believes, the knowledge of these transactious was limited to the three. Mr. Rodinan states, and other information estab- lisites the truth of the statement, that THE CITY DEFICIENCY HAS BEEN LARGELY DIMIN- ISHED during the past year; and that, he says, was caused by his repeated importunities and threat- enings. A part of the reduction was the loan to Murphy and Sprague. Also Sprague borrowed trom one of the city banks, on the oth of August, 1872, $28,500, and irom another bank, on the 2st of October, same year, $20,000, whicu he turned over to the reduction of the deficiency. Sprague bor- rowed for the Trust Company in the name of Edgar M. Cullen, without that gentieman’s knowledgé, $45,000, which he also used for the reduction of the deficiency. At the time the Trust Com; stopped there was a deficieucy in the bp oa s It was for that fund that the loan to Mulford and Sprague had been drawn. Sp) went however, to one ol the banks in the city and open: @n account for the benefit of the sinking fund, and deposited certain checks to that account suf- iicient to cover the deficiency. Subsequently that money was drawn by @ check dated August 9, 1873, signed by S. S. Powell, Mayor, and 0, Sprague, After the suspension of the Trast Com- pany Sprague called on Mr. Rodman and told him they were obviously standing on the brink of a volcano, and added that, inasmach as he (Rodman) had been tainted with the Mills operations and ear aos be injured any more, he (Sprague) would ve him FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AP HE WOULD RUN AWAY, Rodman refused, saying that he bad none of the stolen money, and did not, thereiore, propose to shoulder the biame. He had a@ family, he said, Whose reputation was dear to him, This conversation was overheard by another person, who stepped in and protested that Rodman Should not leave. After the deficiency in the city treasury became public Sprague renewed his offer to Rodman, but it was rejected. These are ail the facts that 1 can give ean ts except that Rodman will reduce his statement writing, and if it is fully corroborated 1 shall prob- ably use him in trial as witness against the rincipal cuiprit. My investigations in the matter jave, however, only comparatively begun, APPLICATION TO HAVE MR. SPRAGUE ADMITTED TO BAIL. Mr. Sprague’s counsel, Messrs. Ed. Moore and D. P. Barnard, applied to County Judge Moore to have the late City Treasurer admitted to bail, Mr. ) vy is stil confined to his house, and this ples! ion was made with the view of reliev- ing him from the surveillance the District Attorney's oilicers, to greatly disturb him. ‘There was some question as to the legality of admitting to bail a appre who was not brought before the Court; ut Counselior Moore thought it was a most extra- ordinary case if bail could not be fixed for a man who was ill @nd the recognizance taken at his house. District Attorney Britton was perfectly willing od vail should be taken if it could be legally one, Judge Moore inquired if any amount of bail nad been agreed upon ? Mr. Britton replied that he would be satisfiea ‘with $50,000 if the Court would be satisfied. That was the amount fixed in Rodman’s case, Judge Moore intimated that he considered the bail fixed at $60,000, Many prominent and wealthy citizens imme- diately came forward and offered to become sur ties ior Mr. Sprague. The following named gente- men were accepted and qualified in $60,000:—ka- ward K. Scranton, Samuel T. Baker, Daniel D, Miller, W. H, St. John and 8, T. Payson. Mr. Sprague’s re ice Was taken at his ot two of which seems ej S house. A WAIL ABOUT THE WALLABOUT CANAL JOB. eg | Uncle Sam “Wants to Know, You Know.” United States District Attorney A. W.

McCartee, Superintendent of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, at Washington, authorizes a contradiction of the statement that the new fifty cent stamp has been counterfeited. In the published account setting forth that such a counterfeit has been issued, it was stated that the bogus notes could be detected from the genuine by the absence of the lower portion of the letter “p” in the signature “-F, E. Spinner,” and which should appear like asmall half circle, just above the border line, 19 the upper right hand corner of the note. Mr, McCartee explains that some of the genuine notes lack this little mark for the following rea- sons :— Upon examining the new ‘fifty cent note a small capital letier will be observed immediately under the words ‘Fifty cents,’ and just above the signa- ture, “F. E. Spinner,” these letters, which are known as the checkplate letters, run from A to N, When the notes.are printed fourteen are laid down on one plate, in two rows of seven each (in other words fourteen impressions are taken at one time), the top notes in each row being let- tered respectively A and H. In cutting or separat- ing the notes, all excepting those bearing check letters A and H wil! have the bottom of the ‘p’? aliuded to cut from the signature on the preceding note, and showing just above the border line in the upper right hand corner, Notes A and H, being at tue top, no such mark appears on them, and hence one note out of every seven will appear without this mark, In all the Dexter head notes the localized line of bDiue iibre appears very distinctly at the left nand end of the back of the note, where it has been massed in & small space, purposely left clear by the engraver in order to show it to greater advantage. It dees not seem that any amount of wear wiil be sufficient to prevent this fibre from being easily and quickly discerned, and hence should any coun- terleits appear they can be ie: detected from the absence of this mass of fibre. Inregard to the green ink, on the back of the notes, appearing a little darker in some than in others, ¢ 1s ac- counted for in the fact that in making a@ transter of the plates one may be roiled a little heavier than another, and hence take up a little more ink, but a8 soon as this is detected tne plates are laid aside and new ones prepared. 3! gp i hail MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
