10 “GREEN ARP.AIGNED, Charges of Imp-achment Made Against the Comptroller by a Committee of the Aeform Association. FOLEY, PUTS HIMSELF T0 TSE FRONT He, Delivers a Solemn. Address to j the Mayor. sevens GRAVE ACCUSATIONS. Gross Corruption, Malfeasance of Office, Misman- agement of Financial Matters, Reckless Lit'gation and General Inability. There was considerable excitement apparent ‘yesterday morning at the Mayor's office. Shortly after the arrival ‘of His Honor, Mr. John Foley, Chairman o1 the Executive Committee of the Re- form Association, put in an appearance at the hall, followed by fifteen gentlemen. ‘The private sanc- tum of Mayor Havemeyer was at once invaded by Mr, Foley and friends, and aster the usual courte- sies were exchanged, Mr. Foley injormed the Mayor that he had been designated as Chairman of the Sub-Executive Committee now with him, and whom he introduced to His Honor, to wit, Messrs. Washington R. Nichols, Judge A. A. Thompson, Dr. Henry Sheppard, Willlam T. A. Hart, Peter Levins, Assistant Alderman Joseph P, Strack, E. A. Blake, Patrick O'Reilly, William B. Pettitt, Horatio F. Averell, Joseph Martin, George Devlin, James Bagiey and John Kavanagh, for the purpose of presenting to His Honor certain grave charges against the Comptroller of the city and county of New York, Andrew H. Green. With Mayor Havemeyer’s consent Mr. Foley read the following CHARGES AND SPECIFICATIONS. Mr, Mayok—We, a committee of the Reform As- sociation of New York, interested tn common with our fellow citizens in securing to the ped Oe @ good government, have called upon Your Honor to prefer to you our request that, by virtue of the authority for such purpose vested in you by law, you do forthwith remove from the oifice of Comp- troller of this city the present incumbent, Andrew ‘HH. Green; and as the basis of our petition we do now present to you the following charges, which we make against the said Comptroller Green :— First—We charge Andrew H. Green with gross mismanagement of the city finances, in that, dur- ing the whole of the year 1872 he kept on deposit in the banks an average balance of about six mil- lions of dollars, for which the banks paid no interest. The banks had the use of this immense amount of money for nothing, while the loss of the interest Was afresh burden upon the already overloaded taxpayers. The conduct of the Comptroller in this matter 1s utterly inexcusable. ‘The loss to the city on this one item alone exceeas half a million dollars. To increase the folly and enormity of the Comptrolier’s conduct he positively refused to accept interest even when it Was tendered by the banks, thus making it clear that the fault of the great loss to the taxpayers ‘Was wholly his own. Second—We charge Andrew H. Green with hav- ing corruptly used the public money for the pur- pose of influencing legislation at Albany; in thi: that he connived at the employment o! ison J. Waterbury for that purpose, and’paid him for such service the sum of $1,000, as Wul fully and parti ularly appear by the following vouchers marked ‘C,” the original of which are on file in the Comp- troller’s oftice :— {C.] ‘ew Yorx, June 5, 1873. ‘The Mavor, Aldermen and Commonalty’ of the ‘city of New York to Nelson J.

The | employment of agents uot legally elected repre- | sentatives, to influence legisiation, is an indirect | use of money to obtain legisiative votes hardly to be separated irom the direct payment of money jor votes, and, morally, certain to be uccompanted or followed by such a use of money. We have our quota of representatives and senators ip the Legis- | jatare, and we need no lobpyists. To say that we | do is to concede that repablican, representative | government ts practically a lailure. |“ Mr. Green's conduct in this particular is ren- dered the more flagrant from the fact that the | great thing which he dreaded in the legislation at Albany was his own removal trom office. So that, im reality, he paid out the sum of $4,044 of the city money to keep himseif in office. | ~ Even had he in good faith employed these lobby- ists to represent the city What right Las the Comp- e or eulpower representatives ior the city? The constitution and the laws provide for the election of representatives by the leg voters of the city, abd to supplant then or to out- weigh their influence in the Assembly By that of agents selected by one man is to substitute des- | potic power for the will of the | _ The great mass of our taxpayers, liberal as they are to pay mouey Which is to be legally and pro; erly used, Will not subject themselves to furthe | taxation for money to be expended as this has | been without reluctance and without a determined objection snd protest. Comptroller Green has done the same thing that the members of the deposed Ring were accused o! doing; and it they deserved indictment and trial for using the city’s money to control or influence iegis- lation why does not Andrew H. Green deserve the Same punishment for the same act ? Will you, venerable sir, at your age, and with your long and honorable record to look back upon and to bequeath as u rich heritage to your chil- dren, will you sanction tits unholy and illegal use of the people’s movey by retaining tn office one who has imitated one of the worst and most cor- rupt acts ever charged against his fallen prede- | cessor ? Third—We charge Andrew H. Creen with gross, wilful and criminal neglect of tits oficial duty as a Member of the Board of Assessment. It is the duty of this Board to impose the expense of local im- provements upon tue parties assessed for them. By the gross negiect of this duty th | remained saddled with these expenses, while ail the advantage of the delay has accrued to individ- uals benefited by such improvements, On the security of assessments to be imposed the outstanding asses: ment bonds, according to recent report of the Comptroller, amounts to $20,963,406. Upon this large indebtedness the city pays out of | taxation interest at the rate of seven per cent, be- ing ab annual burden of $1,470,000. The Comp- troller, acting in the interest ¢! | owners and not in the interest of the city, has per- sistently refused to take the neccessary action to have the several assessment lists confirmed, so that the amounts, with twelve per cent interest which the property owner has to pay irom date | os confirmation, might be collected and applied to the payment of tne said bonded indebtedness, Assessment lists amounting to miliions of dollars have thus, through neglect of «the Comptrolier, been delayed in their collection, and to the extent of the amonnts involved in the lists 60 delayed and held back the Comptrotier has generously allowed the property owners the use of the large amounts of their various assessinents—free from the tweive per cent interest, which can only be added from date of confirmation—ior periods in some instances of over one year, while the city bas to bear the costs by providing for the payment of the interest upon the heavy amounts so outstanding, repre- sented by these bonds, the redemption of which is delayed” because these assessments are not | promptly confirmed aud collected to pay off the said bonds during the present year. There has been but lew meetings of the Poard of Revision and Correction, of which the Comptroller is chatr- man, and there is now aud has been for upwards of one year assessment rolis tor large amounte upon which the Comptroller, in tne interest of cer- tain property owners, has refused to take action. A fair estimate of the loss to the city resulting from the improper conduct of Comptroller Green tn reference to these assessments will amount to at least $500,000 a vear. we tg id jo on and add many other wrongs of omission and commission to those already enu- merated. Mr. Green has embarassed working- men, and actually worried some of them into their Graves by the senseless interposition of obstacles which have rendered tt dificult and sometimes tm- ble for them to collect their honest dues m the city. He has subjected creditors naving just cladms against the city to annoying del and the city to heavy costs by litigating sach claims in the advice of competent counsel, It would ruin any individual or private to have their pecuniary affairs man- the arrogance’ the assumption, the insoleuce of a ption, the insolence of hia manners render him most offensive and odious to aj) having business with his ofice.

At the conclusion of Mr. Foley's reading Mr. Washington R. Nichols addressed His Honor at some length and in forcible language on the subject at issue, Mayor Hayemeyer listened to the charges against the custodian of the city finances very patienUy and attentively, and informed the committee that he at all times respected the wishes of the public, | especially when represented by afi influential body ofmen, He would carefully look into the charges preierred avainst Mr. Green and give the subject the fullest investigation, During the interview between the committee and the Mayor the Comptroller appeared at the Mayor’s Office, approaching through the private door, His Honor motioned him into nis private ofMice, but the Comptroller did not wait, but left immediately, During the afternoon His Honor stated to @ HERALD reporter that he would thoroughly investi- gute the charges made, and likewise act on them if oven. In answer to the question whether he ad power to remove the Comptroller, the Mayor said:—*'li there are just grounds for the proc ings the Governor, and the Mayor have a perfect right and full authority to do so. RURAL INCENDIARISIL A Conflagration at Mount Vernon—A Portion of the Village in Ruins—The Incendi- ary’s Work at West Farms— Fire in Morrisania. Prompted by a diabolical motive, which at present remains unexplained, some wretch delib- erately applied the torch to an unoccupied build- ing at Mount Vernon, Westchester county, at an early hour yesterday morning, which resulted in $100,000 and the rendering of many women and cuildren homeless, The fire was first discovered at a quarter to one o’clock In @ vacant frame building on the corner of Fourth avenue and First street, and, aided by a Violent gale blowing from the northeast, the flames spread with startling rapidity, seeming to mock the puny elforts of the local Fire Department, consisting of a hand engine and a hook and ladder company. An almost total lack of water in the terrible emergency should prove a suggestive circumstance to the present and luture Village authorities, Seeing that the block bounded by Fourth and Filth avenues and First and Second streets was doomed, the storekeepers and families occupying the same lost no ume in dragging their goods and household effects to places oi salety, thus, in most instances, rescuing their entire personal property from the apparently insatiate fire demon. Meantime the lurid flames leaped irom house to house, consuming everything in Its fearful progress and SPREADING INEXPRESSIBLE TERROR among the inhabitants. Im their extremity the authorities bad telegraphed to New York, New Rochelle, Yenkers and other adjacent places for assistance, knowing that they were completely at the mercy of the Fire King. ‘The appeal was promptly responded by the Huguenot Engine Com- Company and Enterprise Hook and Ladder fom: pany, of New Rochelle, whieh arrived shortly iter seven o'clock, aud lent their best efforts to subdue the conflagration, it was not, however, until engine No. 35, in charge of Chief Rhodes, of the Ninth battalion New York Fire Department, came tearing down Fourth avenue, with foaming cour- 3 auld ying sparks, ready to give battle to the devouring element, that | THE AFYRIGHTED PEOPLE TOOK COURAGE, and sent up cheer after cheer jor the brave men | who had travelled fast and metropolis to rescue the vi furiously from the | e from destruction. Fs | By ripping up some pianking between the tracks of | the New Haven Railroad, which enabied tuem to dam a smali stream in the vicinity of tue fire, the | New York firemen succeeded in obtaining # mod- erate supply Of water, Whici, itis almost beedless | to state, Was directed to where “it would do the most good.” ‘This, together with the raz- ing of a building, or two, resulted im the extinguishing of the fre in a short space of time. But for this timely assistance it would be aificult to tell to what extent the flames might have spread over the village, As it is, however, the block already mentioned is almost completely laid waste, sonie twenty-live or thirty houses bemg destroyed. ‘fhe people are mtensely excited over the vandwism which caused such destruction of property in their midst, and intend leaving nO reasunable means untried to discover the incendiary, A meeting ot the Village crustees was held yesterday aiternoon, at which it was decided to oer A REWARD OF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for the arrest and conviction of the guilty party or parties. It is said that shortly before the was iirst discovered two persons, one of them dressed in temaie habiliments, were seen renning away trom the unoccupied building in which the flames originated. A young man named Daniei Searing, who Was caught under suspicious circamstances In @ house near scene of the conflagration, was | arrested, aud remains in cn§tedy awaiting an ex- | amination, It is believed, however, that he is not | the guilty party. Among the principal sufferers are John Berry, | dry goods; Kern & oun, cigars: Ostrander & Woodrut, lawyers; Lernstein, clothier; Jackson | Hart, drugs; Bachellor ge maker; Logan, | boots and shoes; B.-F. Wallace, hotel keeper, and Becker, lager beer saloon. Shortly altey three o’Gock yesterday morning a ; fire broke out ina large franie building, occupied by a brush manufacturing company, and 'o- | cated on Wastungton avena near kighth | street, Morrisania, which completely destroyed | the building and contents, ‘the james communi | cated with a handsome resiaence adjoining the factory, occupied by a gentleman named Wagner | aud owned by the Parker estate, Which was also consumed, The latter was insured for $11,000, ‘The factory Was not insured, except the stock, which 18 valued at $10,000. Dutiug the early hours of the morning an unoc- enpied frame building on Washington screet,m the town ol West Farms, was fired and totally de- stroyed; loss, $6,000, CREEDMOOR, Opening of the First Annual Contest— | Two Matehes Yesterday—A Fine Day | and Large Attendance, The first annual prize meeting of the National Rifle Association took place at Creedmoor, L.

The face of the dead girl looked more like that of an innocent child than ® married woman, About fifty sorrowing and deeply sympathizing jriends’ took part in the religious ceremony, which was conducted Se Dr. Wilson, the pastor of the church which the ‘ai i il family attended, In the course of a jew feel- remarks the clergyman said that al! were liable to err, and that it was well to cust the veil of charity over the misfortunes of the flesh, The child in her coMn might have repented and been forgiven. It was not for, those who were left to judge her, He closed by advising all to treat the dead even as Christ4reated sinners. The remains were interred in Rosedale enene, Orange, whither they were accompanied by Dr, Wilson and @ few friends of deceased. Mrs, Vail, who seemed comparatively resigned, did not go to the grave. Dr. Wilson stated to a reporter that @ well Known lady in Newark who knew Ida well had toid him that she was the third victim of the same male destroyer. Dr. Comins, of Twenty-sixth street, New York, was brought over to Jersey City by Captain Van Riper and jodged in jail, Counsel for the accused advised this course rather than await the requisi- tion. When the prisoner was brought before Jus- tice Keese he was conironted with Mrs. Metzler, his alleged accessory to the crime, and was sorely distressed when he learned that she had made an aftidavit implicating him, An examination was waived and the case went before the Grand Jury. Mrs. Metzler, in her affidavit, sets forth that Co- mins was the masked operator and that she was a@ witness, On this testimony the prosecution relics mainiy, With regard to Kimball, he denies that he was the cause of the young girl's ruin, but admits that he brought her to the den simply as @ friend who sympathized with her. Public de- cency demands that the further particulars de- veloped yesterday in the case remain unpublished, Itis more than itkely the action of the Grand Jury will anticipate the result of the Coroner's inquest, ae feeling is so strong in this case that justice will be sure and awilt. If the allegations be estab- lished no New York dabbler in medicine will ever again pursue any illicit business in Jersey. TOTAL ABSTINENCE. National Convention of the Catholic Societics at Irving Hall. Yesterday the delegates to the second general Convention of the Total Abstinence Societies of the United States assembled in Irving Hall. There ‘were about two hundred present. At St. Patrick's Cathedral a solemn high mass was celebrated, The Rey. Father McNamee officiated, assisted by the Rev.

The delegates returned to Irving Hall, where they went into ses- sion at noon, with the Rev. Father McDevitt in the | chair, Several distinguished members of the | Union, including the Kev.

Hopkins occupied tne plat- form. The President opened the Convention with a@ short address, Considerable discussion then followed as to the appointment of a Committee on Credentials, when it was finally resolved that one member from each State should compose the committee. Several { clergymen delivered addresses on the temperance qoeeetay eloquently pointing out the horrors, legradation and misery of intemperance. The | Committee on Credentials finally reported that the | credentials of the various societies were found cor. | rect, with the exception of those of the St. James’ Total Abstinence Society, of New York. The ques- Committee on Credentials stated that they had de- | cided to report the matter back to the Convention, being unable to agree on tue matter. Alter a | stormy debate the society was admitted, Some | routine business was then transacted, after which the Convention adjourned until this evening. SHIPPING NEWS.
