In 1870, pursuant to an act of the Legislature passed in April of that yaar, there was organized in this city i what was known as the Industrial Exhibition Company. | The object of the company, #8 declared by its act of in- corporation, was to provide a permanent building in this city to be used for the parpose of a perpetual ex- hidition of specimens of trdustry and in which “the enterprising citizens of every portion of the United States—North, South, East and West—will find a place | where they can consult with the active minds of the nation upon all subjects connected with those arts and sciences which have a direct bearing upon the intercets of commerce and manufacture and a practical develop, ment of the resources of the country.” The anuounco- ments of the company’s purposes were sent forth | to the world in its publications in terms as glowing as its aims seemed to be univer eal and perpetual, The lands selected were a portion of that barren rocky slope overlooking the | flats and lying between Third and Fourth avenues, From amid shady waiks, sparkling fountains and all the flowers of the tropics was to rise a building which woutd bo the ornament and pride of odorous Harlem New York for all time to come; and as its glass-covered | dome and gilded turrets glittered in tho sun the geese of Yorkville would scream and flap their wings tn de- light and the goats toss their beards in the breeze in ad- | miration of the wonders which the art of man had | wroughtin their ancient playground, The interior was | to afford facilities not only as a manufactarers’ trade mart, but also to furnish citizens of the metropolis and | | strangers a ‘popular resort where all agos and classes | might find appropriate recreation, amuasoment and in- struction; to provide a ‘winter garden where in the most inclement weather might be found the climate and products of the (ropics;” give public amusement, such as opera, drama and concerts; create a library and art gallery, a mineralog department, and an aquarinm in which vis: ot Isaak Waiton proclivt- tics tight indulge in their much prized piscatorial parsuit.

Alberger, of nowhere, Hitherto the dream of the coin: em to have been realized, alth Legislature relievea it from taxatioh and by amendments authorized the issue ot bonds to | the extent of $20,000,000. These bonds were to be of the denomination of $20 each, on which interest was to be fixed by the interposition of a wheel of furtune, and paid only at the time of redemption. This wheel of fortane was to be appealed to four times a year for the parpose of ‘electing’ 1,000 of tho bonds, none of which, it was claimed, could be worth less than $21, and somo of which might reach $100,000, From time to time the company has been heard the act of the it and applications (9 appoint & recawer ade by outside ge 8 ‘est ray, however, ¢ COMpany ges the a eave in the form of a suit instituied fn Tis nafs Yo the Supreme Court, to recover from Morganthau, Bruno & Co., its | Anancial agents, nearly $100,000, charged to have been obtained by tho agents in a fiduciary capacity, as the procee:ts of sales of bonds of the company, and fra dulerttly appropriated to their own use.

Afler negotiations lasting from Janu- = to June @ contract was made between the company an financial agents gf the company to place its bonas on the market to the extent of $20,000,000.

The contract turther ided that defendants should make a special deposit in a bank or trust company, to be matually upon, to meet the payments for the redemption of the bonds accord- ing to the “plan,’’ and that plaintiff should execute a trust deed as security for its bonds; that defendants should, within three months from the first delivery of bonds to them, pay plaintif® $200,000, provided an ex- tension of the company’s land contract could be ob- tained, and within one year from such first delivery more, and on failure of de- fendants to fulf! and tho preceding provisions plaintu could termi: the contract. nder this contract, the aflidavit continues, the defendants exe- cuted a bond in $76,000 by three sureties, which was subsequently disapprov Out of t is of the bonds defendants were to have §£00, additional to their commissions for the purpose of advertising, and were to watye ten per cont of their commissions ou bonds used by the company in payment of its land and labor. In the fall of ‘1874 bonds of the value of | $362,000 were delivered to the deferdants, of which defendauts returned bonds to the value of 157,100, leaving to be accounted for $204,900. , OF this sum there is explained away $16,000 for adver- tising and $30,000 as having been placed In tho hands of sub-agents. ‘Defendants have received on account of plaintiff, of moneys paid out on plaintid’s account, between the 7th of August, 1874, and the 30th of April, | 1875, amounting to $32,980 18, which Is all the cash plaintif bas ever received from defendants, or that they have paid out for plaintiff in avy maoper or for any purpose,” leaving abalance to be accounted for and due the aefendants of $89,574 82. Upon other sales of what Is termed “drawn bonds,’’ defendants aro charged with having recoived proceeds to the extent of $80,257 50, which thoy failed to deposit in the Fifth jonal Bank, as they bad agreed, and tbat, after making all just deductions. there is found to be due froin defendants the whole sum of $97,848 32, which they are charged with ee received in a fiduciary oir Own use. ollowing their arrest Messrs. Morganthau & Bruno, the company alter their namos being, as alleged, a myth, were taken before Judge Donohue, of the Su- preme Court, to whom an application was made to va- cate the order of avrest or reduce bail, The first prop- ogition not being conceded to defendant's counsel turned their attention to getting the bail reduced, which was strenuously resisted by the sel for the Industrial Exbibition Company. It was naturally con- ceded that the bonds of the company were worthless, but Judge Donohue thought it no more than right that the $60,000 of these bonds, now in possession of the de- fendants, should be deposited with the Court as part se- curity for bail, which had deen fixed at $110,000, but which he ordered to be reduced to $100,000, leaving $40,000 bail bonds to be furnished by the defendants, VERDICT AGAINST THE, CITY. An important verdict was rendered yesterday in Su- preme Court, Circuit, pefore Judge Donchue, the effect of which promises to lessen very largoly litigation be- tween the city and its employés. The suit was brought by Benjamin F. Haskin against the city for pay as as- sistant clerk of the Tenth District Court, of which Judge Jobn Flanagan is the justice. A denial was made of his appomtment, and it was further aileged that he did’not render the services for which pay was demanded.’ The legality of the appointment, however, baving been shown, as also the rendition of the ser- vices, It was sought to defeat the payment of the claim upen the allegation that Mr. Haskin had been paid for | services as stenographer of the court, which services | it was claimed he was incompetent to render and did | not render, and, therofore, that the salary thus paid | | ladder and st: | loss drove her almost crazy. She suspected a boy | named Daniel White, who was employed occasionally should be an offset against the present claim. Mr. Abel Crook introduced a judgment in evidence recovered | in a former action by the plaintiff tor fees as sten- | ographer, and contended that it formed a complete | | estoppel ‘to tho defonce put in by tho city. Judgo | Donobue gave his decision yesterday supporting the | position taken by Mr, Crook, and theroupon directod a | verdict for the plaintiff for $1,563 87, boing the full | amount claimed with Snterest.

A Remarkable Chapter as to How the Money Goes. INTEREST ON APOCRYPHAL DEBTS A Company that Runs Only Twenty Cars. Fares To Be Reduced When Profits Grow Too Large. Tn pursing inquiries relative to the financial condition ando perations of the several street car companies some remarkable facts, in which the pablic is specially interested, have como to Pas, condition ogy eine bon rt benny light, eyond anything else, they have sorved | Sng cost a very. litle. less than $1,000,000. The to show that these corporations are in the en- ital stock ($800,000) is paid im and the dobdt 000, In an important respect thia so far looks » but it seems the company ony runs ie 3, and of course its business is insignificant. Tt wil not be out of place to mention that the route extends from .the corner of Broadway and Fulton street to Greenwich street, to Ninth avenue, to Fifty-fourtl strect. No dividends are announced, but interest ab the rate of six per cent idon its debt, It seem: however, that the Ninth avenue line {s controlled tho Righth avenue road, though the routes are distin and, it may be said, divergent. The capital stock the latter company is $1,000,000 ana its debt $300, The cost of construction was 800,000, so that would appesr, if these statements be reliable, thi $500,000 of the profits have been used to pay for nec: sary outlays<o putthe Eighth avenue line in operatior This is rather doubtful. Interest is of course paid 01 the debt, and the dividends are quite large, The mat tercan only be explained by the connection betwee: the two companies. A legislative committee woul find this matter an interesting subiggt of inquiry, TWEED'S PRIZE BANNER. A few days ago the offices of William M. Tweed, o& Duane street, were cleared of their confents, Among the relics removed was what is known as “the pri banner of 1870," This banner was gotten up to be pr sented to the district Tweed Association that should make tho finest display in a procession during the campaiga of that year. On the night of the competitive display, tho judges assembled in front of Tammany Hall an the different organizations marched by. According the opinions of the judges the First and Seventh dit tricts were so evenly matched that it became a mati of dispute which should get the prize, The disput waxed warm, and to this day the question has never Deen decided. The banner, which is remarkably hand- some, was mado at the order aud expense of Wiliiam M. Tweed and he determined to retain it until the wran- gle was settled. It is made of bino silk on one side, on which is elegantly painted the coat of arms of the city of New York in brilliane ane offective coloring, above and below which aro the let tors in gold, “Presented by the Tammany Hall Gonorat Committee to tho District ‘ing the Finest Display,Ooc- tober 28, 1$70."’ On the reverse side, which is of scarlot silk, is a lull length portrait painted in oil of ex-Govor- nor Hollman, then a candidate for Governor, The whole 48a beautiful work ot art and is heavily fringed with gold bullion, It is 10 feet G inches by 5 feot 6 inches Mm siz0, - This relict of tho past was on Tuesday presented to Edward Cahill, of Park row, by those who took tt from Tweed’s oflice, and will bo held by him in future as ® memento ot the palmy days of the Ring. There is desire on the part of pho Tammany feaders of the di. trict to seoure this banner, but the present owner ré- eri part with itat any price. Its original cost was $1,5 THE THIRD AVENUE SAVINGS BANK. — To rae Epior or tas HkRato:— In your igsue of tho 18th inst, there is a letter signed “B, A. McDonald’? in answer to a communication from overcrowding on the ground of small profits, which could not be diminished withont positive lovs, is en- tirely at variance with the actual condition of afuirs and entitled to no consideration whatever. Tho stock- | holders realize on their investuwnenta, according to the official reports, from ten to twenty percent per annum, and besides this gain a system has been introduced of representing boavy indebtedness, fora purpose to be presently indicated, of a most intangible character. The aggregate of the sums stated to be owing by the several companies in this city 1s fully $20,000,000, far more than the roads are worth put together, and about an equal amount is also stated to have been paid in as capital stock and disbursed for their construction ant equipmont, Out of the earnings of the lines, and totally distinct from dividends, interest is paid or alleged to be paid on the vast amount of indebted ness just mentionod. To whom the money is due is not given, nor does it appear, if ever borrowed or lent, that it was employed for any legitimate purpose in con- nection with the roads. But the public, a3 remarked, is interested in this matter for the reason that they are expected to suomit to gross imposition at the hands of the railway companies in order that they may fill the pockets of parties to whom they (the people) owo | nothing. There is a kind of legerdemain, as will bo car lines by which from forty to seventy per cont more than is called for is paid for construction, and thon making tho oxcess so liberally given away the cause of a perpetual drain on the income of the business. How this happens it would be very desirable to kuow, and thereby hangs a tale. ~ VARES OUGHT TO BK REGULATED BY PROFITS. In any view of the matter there can be no sound | reason advanced for the neglect of supplying a sufliciont | number of cars to accommodate the public, Several pretences have been offered to blindfold, but one after | tho othor, when examined, turned out to be spurious. All that is necded is to put on the additioval | vehicles, incur some additional expenso, and the difli- culty tsatanend, But the parsimony and greed of the Wreetors prevent this action, snd it 1s only by such alawasis now pending in the Legislature, making | overcrowding a criminal offence, to be summarily with, that the scandalous abuse can | be suppressed, The earnings and profits of the com- | panics should be curtailed, What with interest on fictitious debts and dividends tho happy stockholders | are working a rich mine oat of the working and poorly paid bees of this great hive whose hoalth und comfort areso shamefully d‘sregarded.
