To tae Epitor or tHe HeRaty:— The publication of a report made by Judge Bosworth, areleree in a proceeding relating to the affairs of tho Guardian Svviogs Lustitution, and the comments thereon by the Heratp seem to call for an expianation from me, notwithstanding the fact that the case is.not yet finally decided nor the ultimate judgment of the Court reached, will give a plain stutoment of my connection with the affairs of the bank from first to lust, In 1870 a fair Was held by the New York Foundling Asylum, which yielded $70,000 and over. Sub- entire amount was to be used to build an asylum. | was the treasurer of the Fair Commiitee and held the money. The committee decided to deposit it with the Guardian Savings lostitution against my earnest pro- test andI resigned the office of treasurer in conse- quence, The moncy was deposited with the Institu- tion and remained there until the failure, aithough 1 attempted in the spring of 1871, as a manager, to bave Mt removed to the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank. The Guardian Savings Bank was under the Presi- dency of Willham M, Tweed and Walter Roche wus 1s Vice President. When tho bank failed in November, 1871, it had on deposit $562,686 40, and of this sum $94,522 $1, or more tham one-sixth belonged to the Founding Asylum. I aid not know that the bank was insolvent nor did I have anything whatever to do with the appomtment of Quinlan as its receiver. The frst iutimation I had of these facts was on November 11, 1871, when Mr. Quin.an came to me and asked me to become his surety, and then he informed me of his appointment. Iwas alarmed concerning tho tate of the Foundling Asylum Fuud, and believing it to be my duty to save it if possible, I consented to bocome surety and went with him to sign the bond, 1 bad no motive whatever in so doing, except that of sccuring from logs the Foundling Asylum. it occurred to me then that if some person in whom I bad contidence was placed in charge of the office under the receivér lcould bave a more thorough knowledge of 19 affairs and save the Foundiing Asyium better than otherwise, and I thereiore suggested to Mr. Quinlan the employ- ment of Mr. Riley, my brother-in law, in such capacity, In this connection Mr. Quinian said that, uuder toose circumstances, he would thiok tt right to divide his lees as receiver with me. I told him at ouce 1 would not takeacent por bave anything whatever todo-with them | did pot wars with Quinlan as to koow jor a jong ime what that salary was. I believe Mr. Riley was a faith | Yours respectfully, Jui and competent persou, He performed most of the labor of the receiversmip, Mr. Quinlan not giving it Lis not control the money. The rcsut of Mr. Kiley’s care and atwention to the business has besn that the creditors of the bank have received ninety-five per cent of their claims, and wil creditors of less than $200 have been paid im tuil, Ot the amount due the Founding Asylum oniy $7,364 09 remain unpaid, The entire amount of invebleduess of the bank now unpaid 1s $38,193 09 only, and there are assets uncollecied sufficient to pay tnis sun. Mr, Quiplau seems to have recognized the tact that Riley was periorming the labor, for when he drew his fees as receiver he gave une half of them, umount- ing Lo $6,500, to Riley. * Quinlan w witness in the Buckiey, advised bin he had a right to draw such fees, and with the question whether ho had or not, I cer- tainly had nothing to do. Mr. Riley handed to me $6,000 of this money to keep for him, and be nas since drawn only a portion of the interest on the same. ie told me at tho time that Quinlan had given it to him, and 1 supposed he was entitlea to {t, Another referee, in another branch of the caso, has decided, in passing Quinlan’s accounts, that ho (Quinlan) was en- Utied to his iees, and allows him $13,000. Surely the decision of one referee is of equal authority to that of another. At any rate, and whatever may be the law npon that subject, | never profited by the transaction to the extent of a dollar, nor Was there ever any agree- ment or uoderstanding that I should. As the matter ands pow, I #hali Lod the money, subject to the yal decision vi the Court as to Quinia fees. Judge Bosworth says:—‘‘it ts difficult to per- | coive on what principle Mr. Riley can claim this money, unless @ receiver can be a large deiauiter, and at the same time be entitled in equity | and good conscience to full commissions” Judge Bosworth bad belore nim at the ume he wrote this the report of Mr, A. Abbutt, a referce, to whom Quinlan’s accounts had been re- ferred tor examination, Which showed tbe valance against Quinlan to ve $13,235 51 only, alter charging him with everything possrule in lat with, including intere He had also before him my evidence that | bad, as Quintan’s surety, offered to pay this sam. to the present receiver, and’ tha only reason why it w: not received by him was that he Was restrained trom so doing by an injunction issued in June, 187. Whatever may be the jaw, to an ordi- sell as bis surety, makes good to the bank every doliar of its assets the lees or commissions of the receiver are earned, Peruit my to say in this connection that lam enurely abie to respond to any cull of the crea. iors to the extent of my bond, and that there ts not the slightest dunger ot joss t cond part of Judge Bosworth’s report 1 have to this two say :— in the spring of 1872 (he receiver made a dividend and required ior payment ull the money he could Feulize. Among the assets were three mortgages upon city property, one of which wae 4 third and two others second mortgages, They were not due and the re- ceiver tried to sell them. The best price offered was Hiitwen per cont discount. He come to me with them and asked me to buy them at ten per cent, and told me lw needed (he money. He made an application to the Court tor autuority (o sell them at such discount, Buch sutboriy was granted, [took the mortgag: my couosel, John T. McGowan, who had been counsel for the bank, and asked him to examine tho tities, He said he knew the titles to be good, and he drew tho assignments and transacted the entire busi- ness, Mf. MeGowan ts now the person prosecating this case against me, and is the man who procured the publication of the report of Judge Bosworth, in the RRALD, in full, as the report of a proceeding in court. He did p 1 mel ougut not to buy the mortgages, nor did | suppose | was doing wrong, Indeed, 1 ve- heved, and 1 uo now believe, | saved tho fund tive per cent of the mortgages, Tat was iny sole object at the time. As to the third part of Judge Bosworth's report, if the referee bad stated all the tacts in evidence before Dim no explanation would be needed, In 1860 Mr. Quinlan purcbased a store in William street, and I loaned him toward bis purchase $14,000, 1’ three sums. 1 was to has nortgige ou the prapyriy. but instead we agreed that the tule should be taken in my Bame as my securiy. In 1873 Quinian paid me my money and I conveyed to him the property. The ret- eree does not “icel at iberty to coveide”’ that Thad any suspicion “that ths moroy wan taken from the bank,’ and yet he throws a doubt on the good faith of the transaction, Lnot only did not know where tho money came from, batl do nos believe gt came from the bank, I do know, though, that my security for the debt was sufrendered, which would have been very unlikely had I supposed the money pad = me puridined.

New York, Oct. 11, 1876, To THe Epiron or THe Hxrap:— The inaction of Superintendent Ellis tn regard to tno detrauding savings banks would justily the public in believing that he ig in collusion with them, and the Governor should at once order his impeachment through charges by either Comptroller Robinson or the Attornoy General, The next Legislature should make strict laws for the management of them, and | nold the directors and presidents to individual respon- | sibility for all losses, As it is now, a broken down and | “rotired’? merchant who has pasted through tho bankrupt courts gets some friends or church members to start a savings bark, contributing nothing but their | names, and making him president or secretary, so that he may “recruit” his fortune, while the money 's sup- | plied by confiding depositors, many of them belonging | to the class of the industrious poor. Situations are then given to several “cierks,"” who, perhaps, never | did a day’s work bebind w desk in their lives beture, | while a luxurious counting room is titted up for ther | accommodation, The directors then commence to | speculate with other people's money, often applying it | to their ows use apd ip aid of their private business. Aller awhile ihey put up a costly building for the bank and indulge in sumptuous dinners at overy meet: | ing of the board at the expense of the depositors. The writer Lad somo money in a downtown bai and ju balsncing his account tho ledger clerk found a difference of $20 between tho passbook and the ledger, weicb the paying teller had to account for. Indeed, I | suspected that the paying teller on more than oue oc- caston made a false entry 19 my passbook or inserted | an avditional ime when drew money out. Savings | banks should Le compelied to return all checks to the drawer as they do in banks of viscount, Taoterest | should be allowed depositors irom the day of deposit, and should not ve subject to fortert if money is drawn atany time. The baaks vow rob a majority of their depositors by the arbitrary rules which they make in their own Javor. It is doubttul if the Legisiature can | authorize any inétuuion, by charter, to make bylaws such as they print in their books, Every depositor should keep a private account of bis deposits and not trust sheir passvooks. People with money would tind an investment in United States bonds or those of this | State or clty safer aud more remunerative than savings | sxndbauks, The Broadway Bank runs a savings bank | m the rear of its discount bank, a thing contrary to | satcty and law.

Greenwoop Lake, N. ¥., Oot, 11, 1876, The professional single scull races came off success. fully this afternocn at Greenwood Lake. It was in- tended to make the start at two o'clock’ in the after- noon, but owing to the stiff breezo it was thought best to wait until half-past four, At that hour Mr. Richard Neville, the referee, took his position andthe men rowed into line, There were at first fourteen entries, but they dwindled down to six. It was evident, how. ever, that they would make a lively ra The starters were Powell, Bigln, MeKoil, Coulter, Landers and Plaisted. Powell has rowed a number ot races and won in Canada, and on July 4 rowed a double-scull race at Boston with Cavitt, of Pittsburg, in which they were winners, McKeil is one of the old time scullers, and has beaten a large number of prominent oarsmen. Landers in September, in his match against F. Jonson on the Charles River, made the fasteat time ever made on that | courso—ldm. 25s. He also rowed with Davis at Portland against Jobnson and Butler tbree miles in 20m. 12s.

He was badly beaten thre by Plaisted, whom he considered as not stroug enough fur him then, At tho ciose of to-day’s races the Greenwood Lake Sporisman Club offered a purse of $100, to be rowed tor to-morrow by Biglin and Flaisied. Bigtin declined, stating he would row no more races this season, THK RACE to-day was started at half past four, The m off well together, with Coulter on the lead, Landers well up, then Piaisted. Biglin followea, pulling with spirit, but his boat did not gem te get ‘well through the water, —Plaipted led And shot away beyond bis turning int, and, | making a very handsome turn, camo back, but | unfortunately for him, on the wrong side of the stak« | Landers was the second man around, lollowed in ord by Conlter, McKen, Biglin and Powell.
