CHARITY AND TTS ABUSES. A Full Exhibit of All the Lead- ing Institutions. The Amount Received Annually $2,707,011, and $745,165 of It Frittered Away in Salaries to Officers, Servants, &. The Frauds of Charity Unmasked by Figures. The Total Appropriations by the City in Six Years Eaten Up by Salaries in Qne Year, and Not One Cent of It Reaches the Poor. The efforts of the HERALD to secure as complete and accurate a synopsis of the noble work of the many tustitutions founded in this city to improve the moral and physical condition of the deserving poor, and to carry into the cellars and dark alleys, where God’s sunlight never enters the year round, what in a winter like this humanity most needs— } food, medicines and warmth—have at last been crowned with success, and to-day 18 presented in the HERALD A SUMMARY OF THE WORK of the public and private charities of the city, which are administered in many cases by great winds who ——— Like Heaven are pleased in doing good, Though the angratetul subjects of their lavors Are barren in return, while in other cases, as has been fully shown in the “charity exhibit,” the managers COVER THEMSELVES WITH THE MANTLE OF CHARITY, under which to manipulate the funds generously donated to enrich themselves and provide sine- cure positions fora retinue of needy relatives, The opulent and sympathetic merchants and pro- fessional men who contribute te the support of charitable institutions without taking time to in- vestigate the merits of the society they designate as almoners of their bounty are somewhat respon- sible tor the misappropriation of a portion of their contributions. Here 1s the result of investigations made by the MERALD reporters, and the following may be ac- cepted as a very COMPLETE CHARITY DIRECTORY OF THE CITY. Here will, it is believed, be found every incorpo- rated society. Of course it does not include the many Dorcas and other societies attached to churches, and the many mutual benefit societies attached to the various trades and other organiza- tions, Annual Annual Cost Expendi- of Such Bzpen- tures for ditures in Name of Society. ne Baits, Salaries, Go, Agociation for Improving , the fa the’ Poor, Honbe. ees cresere 650,201 02 Notalven 1,307 00 187 00 ciety, No, 0 Wali street. 9343 42,505 11 Alsuce’snd: Lorraine Society 5,419 82 620 0 Assoolation for Botrien sug Chit ren and oun; dirls, Ni Fast Thirteenth street... 4,106 94 738 52 Association lor Reliet of Respect- able, Aged, and Indigent, &e., N 226 rast Tenth street - - Association for Deat M peventh avenu - - Laptist Home for Aged, No. 41 drove Set ine bigiea, 0. $180 00 ond § ‘wopathie Dispen- Bond Street jommmeops P 9,052 49 2,450 00 42.422 1 2,808 90 88154 Nothing 432 West Thirty-fourth street _- - c hildren’s Aid Society, No. 19 Ea : cri ricenth street, extimated.. 91,259 $0 Colored Mission, West Ihirueth ‘579 90 Charity Buread, (Clearing House tor a eae . seose - Central ispensa avenue 1,096 00 v naa ais ¥ a A 250 00 | Carmel Chapel (Young 9 | ‘Nant Association), Bo ce 400 00 Chapin Home tor Aged and iniirm, East Sixty-sixth strect.... 1 254 09 Church Mission to Deaf Mute: 1,826 00 Children’s Educational and R Association : © Nothing Colored Orphi in, West 1434 street... 13,202.61 5,887 29 It Dispensary, No. 401 Second Laren ede la e417 8,849 84 E.

HENRY HEDDEN, Captain Thirteenth Precinct Police, THE COURTS. The Ocean National Bank Trouble— Continu- ation of Callender’s Trial. A Another Mandamus Against the City—Decisions. The civil suit brought by Luther C, Chailis vs. Woodhull, Clafin & Blood, was on yesterday's cal- endar ‘or trial before Judge Van Brunt, holding Circuit of the Supreme Court, On the case being called, and the character of the action being ex- plained to Judge Van Brunt, he said he would not | try such cases in this Court, and sent it to the Marine Court, An order to this effect was then entered, THE OCEAN NATIONAL BANK. The Trial of Charles Callender. Yesterday morning, in the Unitea States Circuit Court, No. 27 Chambers street, Judge Benedict re- sumed the trial of Charies Gallender, who 1s in- dicted for having accepted a bribe of $76,000 to influence his official action as bank examiner, | when reporting on the affairs and condition ot the | Ocean National Bank, of this city, in October, 1871, Mr. A. H. Purdy, United States Assistant Dis- | trict attorney, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. William Fullerton appeared as counsel for the defendant. CROSS-EXAMINATION OF COLUMBUS 8. CONTINUED. The cross-examination of Columbus S, Stephen- son was resumed by Mr. Fullerton. Witness said:—The Joans made to Mr. Callender were what I should call accommodation loans; I expected they would be paid in a day or two; the checks which he left as security were not placed to the | Joan account; these checks were counted as legal | tenders; I think such a proceeding was irregular; we had some gotd certificates at that time, Q. What was said about returning these loans— Lam speaking now about the four checks of Uc- tober, 1871? A. Mr. Callender told me that he had a loan in a certain bank—I forget what bank; that | they had called on him to pay the loap, and that | they would let him have the money in a day or | two; he wished me to let him have the money to | take up the loan; under these circumstances I let him have the money ; I regarded the loans as sale | at that time, as he gave me collaterals. Q Did you understand from him at the time | what those loans were for that he had made on those various banks? A. 1 do not think he said anything about it at that time, y Do you know? Objected to. Q. Had he told you at any time? Mr. Purdy—I opject, Mr. Fallerton—I want to show the purpose for which the loans were made. It will do no harm to go into a matter of this kind and develop it fully. J want Mr. Callender to be judged in the light of truth. I verily believe, as Ido in my own eXist- ence, that he 18 not guilty of this charge, Judge Benedict—It is not professional for coun- | Sel to Say that he believes either in the innocence or guilt of his chent. It may have an effect on the mind of the jury, The question is as to the law of the case. Mr. Fullerton—I will not repeat that, I believe the jury will not be induenced by whatever I may say in that respect. I want, by legitimate argu- ment, to show that everything connected with these loans should go before the jury. Judge Benedict—As | understand, the defendant js indicted for receiving the four sams of money mentioned in the checks to influence his official ac- tion ag bank eXaminer, That he received this | money seems clear from the evidence. I trom the evidence the jury believe that he received it to in- | fuence his oficial action as such ban examiner, (hey must convict him; if not, they must acquit hin. 1 do not care what he aid with the money— if fhe threw it into the river, that is no matter. But if he took those sums with intent to influence his official action he must be convicted. Your offer does not seem to bear on the question at all, Mr. Pallerton—I want the Court to let me show | | what was dope with the money, that when the | | money Went out of Mr. Cailender’s hands wis hands were clean. That bears on the question of intent. | }ibe owed the debt indiviaually the jury Might infer corruption. | Judge Benedict—I will not allow the qaestion. The question is whether his bands were clean | | when he took the money. If he mtended to throw the money off the dock it made no ditference, Did he take it to influence his ofticiafaction, and what was his official action? 1 rme out tie question you have put. Q. Had the Ocean Natfonal Bank any interest in | having those loans paid off that Mr. Caliender | spoke of at the time this money was borrowed? A. No further interest than to protect thena- selves; they had an indirect interest in ketp ing the Portage Lake bonds oif the ket, | because they were not quoted at th “d, | and if they were brought to sale that would depreciate their value; Mr Callender apprehended that those bonds woald be put upon the market if the bonds were not paid; the pro- tection of our bank in that way influenced me some little in letting Mr. Calender have the money. @ You saia you Would not let any other person STEPHENSON | | | of @ million and a half | Callender first | thou, and from Chat time til the Chicago fire the | than Mr. Callender have this money. Did let Pe nave it 4 bank examiner ? re let bim bave or three reasons; .1 did not want to see the Portage Lal nds forced on the market, be- cause the Ocean National Bank was interested in keeping ‘up the price of the bonds; another reason was Mr, Callender had very close relations with the beak, a8 bank examiner, and was quite inter- ested in the Portage Lake bonds and in securing a joan on them; I was aiding him in carrying pn this negotiation jor the beneiit of the Portage Lake bonds; thts resulted as a benefit for the Ocean Bank by indirectly keeping up the value of the bonds; there was nothing said about is action as bank examiner; Mr. Caliender told me that there were negotiations on hand for a gale of those bonds by a house in Nassau street; I do not know at what price; I first became connected with the Ocean National Bank in 1865, as cashier, and in 1870 as its president; 1 think the bank became possessed of the securities J have spoken of in 1866; I cannot say if they got any after that; Mr, ischarged the duty of bank ex. aminer for the Ocean National Bank in 1867; Mr. Hedges ana Mr. Morgan, constituting the execu- tive or exchange committee of the bank, partici- pated with me in making these loans to Mr. Cal- | lender; the effect of the Chicago fire on the bank was to cause deposits to be drawn out very rapidly by Weatern depositors, the money in the Chicugo “banks naving been locked up; about $500,000 were drawn out of the bank in the course ofa lew say j that, of course, crippled the bank | considerably; 1 have no opinion upon the question Whether the bonds would have brought a8 much after the Chicago fire as before, Q How did it aflect the negotiations for the loans? Ruled out, Q. Would not this bank have sustained itself bat for thé Clugago fire? Ruied out, Q. In your judgment was not the failure of the bank @ Consequence of the Cuicago fire? ‘The Court ruled the question out. Other questions were put yy counsel to show that the bank had lost considerably ata time preceding the Chicago fire, but the Court excluded them on the ground that the deiendant coud not be found guiity because the bank bad lost property. The witness, in reply to other questions, Wert ‘on to state that in 1869 the bank met with great difficulty; it was robbed In that year by burglars to the extent of $70,000 and of a large amount of bonds belonging to its customers, ‘hat erippied the ousiness of tie bank and it ran down very considerably, After the rob- bery the business decreased by the dep sits being decreased. Subsequently the bank got into estima- Geposits increased and the progress of the bank , Was gratifying, A. Was the progress of the bank up to the 3d of eee x | damus was granted, but with the twenty per cont reduction. Decisions. Lada Ayke ey Hi re va.

Fanny King, a damsel of some twenty-five sum. mers, was arrested yesterday by an officer of the Fifteenth precinct, charged with having stolen va- rious articles of wearing apparel from inmates of the Home for Friendless Women, in Macdougal Street. It seems that she went to the Home some October, 1871, gratifying to those who had charge of the institution, including yourself? A. It was | gratifying; having: a larger amount of deposits its | business was inore profitable; it was in amore | flourishing condition on the 38d of October, | 1871, than for years before, so far as its business Was concerned, Q. In your judgment would not entire harmony and earnest work on the part of all concerned | have made the institution a grand succesa? A. 1 cannot tell what it might have produced; in my judgment if there had been no Chicago tire and if there had been entire harmony aad earnest work on the part of all concerned in the bank, I believe the prophecy in Mr. Callender’s report would nave been realized, Redirect—My impression is that I would not have loaned Mr, Cailender any money if he had not been bank examiner ; that is one of the reasons | why I loaned bim the money; one of the reasons was to keep the Portage Lake bonds off the mar- ket; 1 do not remember how many of those bonds the bank had; the bank, in its own right, owned | $400,000 of those bonds; the checks of Callender | were carried as legal tenders; there were other checks carried in tae same way, but I cannot say whose checks; the result of the loans show that they were an injury to the bank unless the recetver can coliect them: J think tnat | | aiter the Chicago fire one lot of the Portage Lake | bonds sold for filty cents on the dollar; I had been selling them before the fire, at private sale, for ninety cents on the dollar; I refer to a series of | those bonds other tnau those deposited by Mr. Callender; of the latuer bonds I never sold any; the capital stock of the bank when I came there as. } cashier was $1,060,000; I cannot say positively that | Mr. Callender examined the bank In 1867; he ex- amined it In June, 1869, after the robbery, and I do not remember that he examined it again until | he made the examination of October, 1871; the oe Stock of the bank consisted of real estate, bulls receivable, &c,; Mr. Callender came into the bank very frequently, looked at whatever he wished to, and Was familiar with its afuirs, Q, From the time you came into the bank was it | hot a fact that Mr. D. R. Martin, its President, had an overdrait of $250,000? A. No, sir; that was in | 1955; 1 think that was paid back before Mr. Callen- der came there; 1 can tell by the books, if the receiver will allow me; 1 cannot tell what was the indebtedness of Mr. Callender to the bank at the time of the examination of October, 1871, when I loaned him this $76,000; I do not remember when Mr. Catlender got his first loan from the bank; cannot positively say that his indebtedness had been tncreasing up to October, 1871, but my tm- pression is that it had been increasing; after the | 3d of October, 1871, I did not want to loan him any more money, because the bank had no more money toloan. In reply toa question as to whether the bank was In a sound and solvent condition at the time Mr. Callender made the examination, the witness r plied that if it was meant by tuis that the bank could pay its depositors and stockholders 100 cents | on the dollar, he would say “No; he thought it could pay all its liabilities except to its stock- | holders, and these would have got 80 cents on the dollar; he had left out of this estimate the hability ot the bank for stolen bonds; thinks one suit nail been brought for $60,000. Q. If Mr. Calender, as bank examiner, had made a true and exact statement of the condition of the | bank to the Comptroller of the Currency would it not, in your judgment, have resulted in putting the bank into liquidation? Mr. Fullerton objected to the question, The law desermined when a receiver should be appointed. ‘The Court ruled out the question, To Mr. Fullerton—I said that Mr. Callender often came into the bank irom 1867 to 1871; he expressed Bimnete satisfied with the improvement of the ank. TESTIMONY OF JOHN 8 LANGWORTHY. John Ss. Langworthy, an official employed in the office of the Comptroller of the Currency, prodaced from the files of that office certified copies of ail the reports made by Mr. Callender, as bank examiner, in relation to the affairs of the Ocean National Bank; he had looked on the file for al reports made by Callender as to this hank; he found two, one dated August 29, 1867, and the other July 1, 1860; if he had nade any other reports they wouid have | been jound on the files of the oMce; witness aiso produced a paper, which he described as the ordt- | nary 1orm of the commission of a bank examiner; the conntry was divided into districts, and for eacn district there was a bank examiner, whose duty it | Was to examine and report upon the condition of | the banks in his district at least once a year, and oftener if he deemed it necessary; the Comptroller | | of the Currency receives his iniormation as to the condition of the bauks from the reports of the ex- ees and from the quarterly reports of the anks, To Mr. Fullerton—Iu special cases the examina- tion is conducted under the order of the Comp- troller; under extraordinary circumstances he re- quests a special report; if there was anything in | the reports from the banks that Lag phd ithe | would cause a special examination to be made; [ vhink the examiner, in some cases, reports by | special letter, without making up @ formal report. TESTIMONY OF BENTHAM/T, BRUNDIGE. B. T. Brundige deposed:—On the 7th day of Octo- ber, 1871, 1 was cashier of the Union Square Na- tional Bank; Ihave examined the books of that bank lately, Q. Can you say that the check of Charles Catlen- der on that bank for $20,000 on the 2d of October, | 1871, was good? A, I would say it was not good. Q. Did he ever receive any money trom the Union Square National Bank? Objected to by Mr, Fullerton. On this objection a long legal argument ensued, Mr. Purdy claiming that ander the law he could go into other transactions to prove motives and con- duct of the defendant. The Court reserved Its decision and adjourned ‘until this morning at eleven o'clock. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS.
