fll INCREASED REGISTRATION, +7 What the Great Hue and Ory of Ffaud is All About. TERRIBLE REVELATIONS TO COME. Which Party is Doing the Most of the Fraudu- lent Work an Open Question. © There never wasatimo since the present rigorous Registration law went into effect whenever the result bf tho frst two days’ registration showed a very large Increase that a great hue and cry was not set up in dertain quarters about the vilo plots that were ‘‘about bo be”’ perpetrated at the ballot box. Tho present time Ww no exception to the general rule, and for the past tew days there has been a great deal of talk about tho moorats being at their “old tricks.” It should not ear come from one side of the house exclusively. By No means. The demvcrats freely assert that the “Custom House gang,’’ as they elegantly style the bundreds of active workers of the republican party in the various ‘wards, are doing all they can to swell tho republican woto by (raudulent methods, not the least reprehensible of which is the registering cs ‘natives’ of men who eof joreign birth. But New York being a demo- Oratic city by an overwhelming majority, it is but Datural that the charges of {tfaud made against demo_ rats by republicans should be moro numerous Bnd carry more weight with the general public That there ts truth in the assertions made by District Attorrey Bliss and Commissioner Davenport kg to the attempt of many democrats not entitled to ® vote to get registered on illegal residences or on Baturalization papers there can be no doubt; but that gome of their charges are too sweeping, that some indeed will not bear the test of investigation, is equally undeniable, The mere assertion that because lodging houses, Gatlors’ boarding houses, canal boats, and coasting sraft whose ostensible headquarters, so to speak, 1s in this port, aro frequented just now by, crowds of persons of the poorer class, —_ will hot of itself satisty thinking people that Brent frauds are contemplated. Every one who Knows anything at all about the present condition of bhe laboring and poorer olasses knows that tney couid pot afiord to live, at least in tenement house apart- _ ments; that there are thousands of men in this city who now PATRONIZE CHEAP LODGING HOUSES, and who bavo dono so for months simply because they could find no other shelter, It would, then, be simply Bn outrage to attempt to deprive this class of the right to vote by placing them in the ory of tramps and Vogrants who have no settled home because they aro unable to live as well nowadays &s some others in the community. Still it is a fact that. the lodging houses and = hike resorts do furnish an admirable opportunity for the organizers of “colonized voters’? to commit fraud at the poll, It will require cousiderable care, however, on the partot those whose duty itis to investigate ‘these places to seo that they do not do injury to per. ons whose right to vote might never be questioned were they not found in such bad company. No good Gitizen will complain, no matter what party he belongs bo, at any atiempt made to stamp out the infamous fystem of repeating. To this end the Chief Supervisor of Elections, the United States District Attorney, the ‘United States Marshal and all associated with thom Dave the sympathies of te honest members of the two par fevertheless these officials should first bo Bure they are right before they put thomselves ina bees which might in the end be productive of moro arm good. The. q fon ts, then, can the charges made auring tho past few days by tho repub- Heans, that the large increaso in the registration over previous years is owing to the fact thas -‘thousands” Of men have {liegally registorod themselves, be sus- tained? Thus far but little proof has been forthcom- Ing. When asked for, it has been refused. Itis bat [pts however, to state that full proof of the charge that a very large number of men have sucoveded ins registering illegally 1s promised by Commiestoner Davenport and Dysirict Attorney Bliss, it that they will not be able to prove all the wild tements of some of the partisan papers as to the reinendovs” extent of the frauds is a foregone con- clusion. LOOKING UP THE WOULD BE ILLEGAL VOTERS. Yesteraay the special supervisors, whose duty It is to verify the registration of the 10th and 18th insts., Degar. their house to house visitations, and this* work Will be continued to-aay and to-morrow, Attor the Fegistration of next Friday and Saturuay the guper- ‘visors will again verily the lists by going trom house to house. It is probavle that by the end of this week she names of those parties who have succeeded on thar ‘Oth and Isth in getting their names put on the rogis- try through fraad will be ready fur publication, in conversation yesterday with District Att Bis on this subjcct, and in answer to the write: qu:ry why no arrests had been tuade if so much lalse Fegistration as had been talkod about had been indulged dn, he said:— “How can you expect arrests to be made when you don’t know where to find those you want to arrest? A lot of fellows register as residing in such apd such a lace, We-find out that they do not reside there, That “fact established, we are ready to act. Woe have them ali down in biack and white, and if they putin an ap- pearance at the polls why t know woat to do with them, don’t we? Tho old x first catch your bird,’ bas nothing to do with (his business. We ktiow tho Dird’s colur, and if, alter making a nest for himsclt in any polling place, lie attempts to take possession of it on ciection day be will be treated according to his deserts.” ‘ 18 THIS THE RATIO OF THE INTENDED FRAUD? “Now, Mr, Bliss,’ questioned the reporter, “thero has been a great deal of talk about the extent of tho “What is there in it--much or FA jon, Mr. Bliss looked up from his papers, with an as- tounaed look upon his genial lace. Much, very much,” was his reply, Can you give me particulars—facts about which there can be no dispute? 1 would preter them to gen- erat assertions, for general assertions about tho alleged frauds is about all the public have been given thus far.” No, | prefer not to enter into details. Not that I could not give the facts, bat the time has not yet como for them to be made public. By the end of this week Ithink we will be ready to give the names of the fllegal woula-be voters, with a few particulars.” In reply to another request for particulars Mr. Bliss Baid :— “I will give one instan In one ward, which fs but partof a certain asrembiy district, there aro over 300 persons on the rogistry Whose names ought not tobethere. Of this I have the mosi convincing Proof.” i WHAT UNITRD STATES MAKSHAL FINKE KNOWS, The reporier also had a short talk wih United States isKe concerning the frauds, during whieh he re being trem pter Mr. Dav- port, who hasall the working up of the matter in nd.) When pressed as tothe ground for charges ‘that bad been m: gainst the democrats he replied. No one doubts that immense frauds were perpetrated fn 1868; so when it wus discovered that the registra- tion thos far this te #0 far exceeded the correspond- ing registration oj that there was a screw loose somewhere. A FEW DISTRICTS CONTRASTRD. It is a poor rule that wor’t work both ways, they soy. The charge by tho republicans, that good round for suspicion that immense frauds are intended $y the democrats is the extraordinary Increase in the registration tn the strongholds of the demoerncy, is oflset hy the remarkable increase of the registration In districts strongly republican. Take the following districts, for exainple, the registration being for the two days of 1876 nlrondy parsud and for the two corre- sponding days of 1872:— BTKONG DEMOCRATIC DISTRICTS. 1876. 1872, The last four districts wont for Grant in 1872 re- spectively ty, the following majorities :—709, 808, 1,602 8 and 388. Itisinthese districts that the republicans out show tho most strength, and so it is claimed that 1 of the registry in the demo- cratic suspicious circumstance for the democrats, Tho great increaso in tue lour districts where the republican the most strength by parity of reasoning makes the matter rather suspicious for tho republicans, it 18 very evident that there ts a great deal more smoke in the cha made about the immense tliegal registry than fire, WORK OF NATURALIZATION. BOTH DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN COMMIT- TEES DENY ANY FRAUDS, Yesterday thero w: reat deal of talk among tho politicians of all parties about frauds charged to bate boen perpetrated by tho Démocratic Naturalization ‘Commities, If was rumored that great numbers of toreigners had received their papers of citizenship this fail without having the term of their residence in this country, as required by law, duly attested by reliable witnesses. The neighborhood of the Naturalization Committeo rooms was said to be Infested by a sot ol worthless rowdics who wero willing to swear falsely for very slight compensation, and these peopio made the {function of witness a rogular employ- Previons jute years it struck us f ent of late, realizing from it considerable emoly- mert, It was said, too, that a short’ time since about four dozen Italians were natural- ized. Not ope of them could speak English, 4nd every one of them, so far as could be jearned, had just been imported from sunny Italy. But by far tho greatest frauds were efecied by the Ingenious use of the bogus natufalization papers issued in 1868 by Judges Barvard and McCpna to nearly 30,000 support- ers of the Ring’s candidates. These papers were, on subsequent elections, destroyed whenever thet “wvalidity was detectod, an@ this was rendered more easy from their holders generally acknowledging that they never appeared in court to obtain them, but had them given to them by persons in the pay of the po- litical leaders of that day. These papers have since been turned touse at the instigation, it was thought, ot local politicians, The holders of them have gone to the Superior and Supreme Court clerks, and have se- cared duplicate copies from the records of the fraudu- lent documents under the that their original papers were lost. These and simtiar stories touching tho fraudulent practices by which the democratic ,vote is to bo swelled this year were widely circulated yesterday, and a Hxnatp reporter procecded to investigato them, The headquarters of the Tammany Hall Naturalization Comritice is on the corner of Reade and Centre streets, and thero the reporter found «a throng of people, mostly workingmen, of Celtic and Teutonie birth. When the reporter had elbowed his way through the patri- otic swarm he succeeded, after a coumiderable expendi- ture of breath, which was entirely loat in the vocifera- tion around him, in catching the ear of one of the clerks, who conducted him to the secretary of the cozntuitter, Mr, Josepn 0. Davis, In response to inquiries touching these ramors of frauds Mr. Davis made the following statement ;— 1am surprised to hear of any such charges except from some hostile source which Would not stop at any jabrication, 1 ieel at liberty to. pronounce these charges utterly false. The greatest care has beon taken in this office to teat tho authenticity ot appli- cants’ statements and to seo that only such as ure entitled to suffrage shall go before the courts, to obtain their papers, We require from cach mau a ticket signed by a responsible member of the General minittee of his district, of by the chairman of the Assembiy Comm tteo, aud exercise the greatest care in guarding against any fraud. In one or two tnstances: torged tickets have been presented which, on compari s0n With signatures in our posspssion, were detected, and any one endeavoring to secure papers by otber than the legal means has been turned away, We have hers a course of questions to submit to every applicant, and as you may perceive it would be dificult tor any applicant or his witness to escape being entangled if he were making faleo state- ments, Mr. Davis then showed the reporter a set of questions to be asked applicants and witnesses, which were well calculated to ascertain whether they aro tell- ing the truth or not, This goes to show that the first charge you speak of is false, as 1 pronounce it, the portion of 1% touching this committee being a mean fabrication, So far as tho production of the case in Judge Robingon’s court 1s concerned I havo only to say that he will give bo man his papers on the plea of having come to this country when a minor unless ho produce hig parents or intimate relatives (o youch for him, Now, about these false witnesses, 1 will state that the greatest discretion |s exercised here in taking the statements of any man, and I myself have made efforts to discover und punish any one testilying falsely, The reporter then went to the Republican Natural- ization Committee rooms, where he was told that the © of examination to which they subjected apph- precladed imposition, ‘In the democratic com- mittee there is, no doubt, much fraud,” said the secre- tary, ‘for they are naturalizing twenty to our one.”” This gentleman then referred to a notice which ho saia was given applicants to prevent their being charged $2 and $8 by the democratic courts to which they had to go, abd thoy were told not to show their Uekets to the clerks of these courts, in order that these gentlomen might not aiscover them to be re- publicans, and consequently neglect them or turn them away, The price af the HERALD to-day and henceforth will be three cents. THE PARK BANK ROBBERY. STATEMENT OF MR. J. L. WORTH, THE PRESI- DENI—THE HERALD'8 DECLARATIONS VERI- FIED. A reporter for the Heratp called on President Worth, of the National Park Bank, yesterday afternoon, for any further information he might havo cencerning tho absconding of tne teller, Thomas Ellis, with $36,000 of the fuuds of the bank. Tho President said that there wore, as yet, no developments other than had been already declared in tho Hxratv. He wished, however, to correct the impression conveyed by some of the re- ports in“ the other papers to tho offect that there were foars that Ellis might have been robbing the bank freely during his former years of service. That impression, he said, was caused by his explanations to the r porters of -the other journals, who failed to under- stand the purport of what was sald, as any one at all familiar with the internal machinery of a banking house would have moro clearly understood, In ing that lis accounts, when occupying former posi- tions, had been examined, he did not mean to convey the Jdea that there was a possibility of his having rob- bed the bank in former years, and that they were try- ing to ascertain now whether or not they had been robbed years ago, but ho did state, and that defaitely, that when Ellis passed from one position to another in the bank, his accounts had been examined thor- oughly, ,and not only found — correct, but had ‘stood the test of after examinations, In his former stolen ed his for tho facts in the case were peculiar. positions it was barely possible tor him to hav from the bank in small sums, and to have co' robberies by lalse entries; that, xs they knew, before he was promoted, ho had never done. To the time when ho became teller his record was ail that could be desired. But when he could not rob the bank with- ont having it become known almost immediately—for his cash must be rightevery day—ho 1s stricken with the desire to rob, does rob and must flee immediately, leaving his position, family and friends, That was the Temarkable, peculiarity in the case. To secure both bim tnd the money be had stolen was, of course, the interest and duty of the bank. They'had placed his case in the bands of the most experienced detectives in such matters, and folt a mogetute assur- ance of success. But, in any case, tho monoys stolen could not im any way interfere with. either the credit or the business of the bank, for th paratively small. In conclusion be “intimated that there was no thought that elther Mr. Lord, his father- in-law, or any of his family knew aught of his inton- tion to rob, And itis felt to bo certain that, bad ho long premeditated the thett, he would have prepared himsoif for it so as to have beon abio gt *4 0 to have carried away bills more easily than those of $1,000 and $500 denominations. detectives are after him, and feel sure of his return deforo this week shall have So fa the bank 1s concerned, Mr. Worth, the Presi- dent, says that the bank long ago made ita rule never to compromise a wrong, and he repeated to the re- porter what he bud said to others, that he would give $5,000 out of his own pocket to have Ellis returned either with or without the stolen funds. He had de- termined to prosecute the present case with tho ut- most rigor, both for tne good of the bank and of the community, At the meeting of the Board of Directors p nd is good, and, theretoro, the loss to the bank ood to $26,000, even if nothing is retarned from the robber The Board approved the measures taken by the President for the arrest of the culprit. * BANK LUSINEsS. New York, Oct, 24, 1876, To tir Eprron or tre Hurano:— The recent barefaced robbery by the teller of the National Park Bank could by no possibility have been effected oxcept under a most lax system and loose supervision on the part of tho higher officials. Can It be possible that as a rule tellers of banks are allowed to theinselves lock up in the etrong room the cash taken from their tills at night? Surely neither eighteen years nor any term ofservico jua bank can justify such asystemas that. Matters are managed very di(ferontly by the great banking !nstitations in London. In 1842-3 T was a junior cterk in the Union Bank of London, then im ite infancy, now an immensely rich and pros. perous — concern, cond oniy to the Bank of England, The public banking hours were then from ime to five o'’vlock, and from five to six the daily balance of all transactions was struck. During that hour two directors (changed every fortnight) were alwaye im atiendace, whose special busin was to seo ee notes and other securities counted ovel the presence of the Manager{similar to oa the United States), and who themselves the money, &e., in thé strong room, each baving a distinet and separate key, which took home, No clerk was permitted under any circumstances to leave until the daily balance was proved, whether the error amounted to £6,000 of one penny. It constantly hap- pened tunt we were kept there until seven, eight, wine, ten, and onve I remember until twelve o'c'ock, It was therofore impossible for any teller to go home unlit his books and cash agreed, the latter being handed over to the directors in their pi room and counted and lockea up by them, Yours, & ‘A.

Drake, cashier of the Ger- man National Bank of Newark retired from his posi- tion owing to his account bein; hort’? come $27,000. Tho money was mnde good to tho bank, but Drake has now been arrested by tho United States authoritios, charged with criminal offences against the United States. Pending furtber cxamination he was allowed to go on his own recognizance, | a eh rs LIFE INSURANCE WHAT THE COMPANIES SAY ABOUT THE 8U- PREME COURT DECISION—THE OVFICERS OF THE EQUITABLE, MANHATTAN, NEW YORK AND MUTUAL EXPRESS THEIB OPINIONS. The very important decision of the United States Supreme Court, published in the Hanavo yesterday, as yo life policies beld by Southerners, attracted profound attention in insurance circles. Many persons sup- posed that the immet interests involved by the decision would plunge the companies inte an endless sea of litigation; that all, or nearly all, of the original Southern policy holders would commence suit to at least recover the surrender value of their policies; but it will be seen by the interviews held with the officers of the companies who were concerned in the recent decision that such an apprehension {is not shared by them, In the case of the New York Lite Insurance Company it seems that thero was an cuaeavor by the heirs of Dr. A, D, Statham, of Mississippi, to recover the amount of a policy of life insurance granted by the company in 1851, and certain funds belonging to them had been attached in Jackson. It appears that the annual premiums accruing on the policy bad all been regularly paid until the breaking out of the late civil war, but that in consequence the premium due Decomber 8, 1861, was not paid. Dr. Statnam died in 1862 Jolned in this suit were two similar ones, whieh Charlotte Seyms, whoso husband, Henry 8, Seyms, died in 1862, and one C. L. Buck, against the Maphattan Life Insurance Company, the issues al! being nearly the same. The Judges decided that *‘the payment oa such policies is material and of the essence of the contract, and failure to pay involves an absolute forfelturo which canuot be relieved against in equit; Continuing, the Judgo assented to the company’s right to copsider the policies lapsed, but made the important reservation that in such ease tho assured was entitled to the equitablé value of the policy arising from the premiums actually paid. In defining this value a most important decision was made—viz., that the equitable value is the differance between the cost of a new policy and the present value of premiums yet to be paid on the forfeited policy when the forfeiture occurred, and may be recovered in an action at iaw or suit in equity. The doctrine of the revival of contracts suspended durpg the war is one based on consiaerations of equity and justice, and cannot be invoked to revive a contract which it would ‘ve unjust or inequitable to revive—as where time is of tho essence of the contract, or the parties cannot bo made equal, The average rate of mortality is tho fundamental basis of life assurance, avd as this 1s Bub verted by giving to tho assured the uption to revive their policies or not after they have been suspended by a war, since none but tho sics and dying would apply, it would be unjust to compel a revival against the company, Mr, J. 4. Halsey, tho secretary of the Manhattan Life Insurance Company, told the writer yesterday that by this decision thé ‘company had obvained just what they desired, and tor wh tbey bad been con- tending. Their counsel, Mr. Pitman, had always maintained that all the policics had absolutely lapsed, the equity only being considered as lar as policies pred. {eatea oh premiums paid up to the time of the lapso is concerned. But there was one important point upon which there seemed some difference in opinion, Dut upon which toeir counsol was clear in his advice and that was, that only policies on which claims ha been in suit can be considered, ALL THE REST BEING OUTLAWED, ‘This ts the full scope of the recent decreo—absolute limitation of demands to the few cases that have been beiore the courts. Practically that company have been settling and did compromise many cases since the war on the very basis of this decision, Now, in the case of Buek, who died before the war, his was one of hun- dreds involving materially the same points. It wo could have made the Jaw ourselves it is precisely as we should have enacted it. All the casos were fairly presenti the litigation against the New York Mutual Lite was almost identical with our own, but those of this company were reacbed first. To give you some idea of the lot paid by us, together with the growth ol such busine: lile insurance, the following table may be of interest:— ‘No of Policies Amount Year, Uasued, | ‘Insured, 1850 and 1851, 953 i 964 626 476,606 42 STH 011 aL 234 U0 * ; * 4,020, 190,451 07 have paid altogether since the formation of our company $6,500,000 death claims, The Mu:ual Lite Insufance Company of New York ‘Was understood to have had many such claims against them ai se lately to litigation, but HeRavo re. porter was toid by Mr. Seward, une of the officers of u at they bad settled all claims against them, and rays paid the surrender val f apelicy to any holder desiring 1. By the greater propor. tion of surrendered policies bave been upon sound and healthy lives, the retention of which by a company would have sustained ita vitality and promoted the in- terest of the remnining members, At the Equitable Company, who may be said to own THE PALACK OF LIFE ASSURANCE, Mr. James Alexander, the Vice president, was found, who stated to the writer that the Supreme Court deci- sion of courso was very important to the companics ‘that bad many Southorn policy bolder id goncrally of interest to all lite insurance companies, jetting many vexed questions, The decisiwn wes undoubiedly sound, but inasmuch as it contained a clause that tho insured was éntitied to dhe equitablo value of the pol- iey, some of the companies would probably have to pay outa good deal of money. Tho Equitable hed long since settled with Southern policy holders, Tho President of the New York Lite Insuranco Com- pany, Mr. Morris Franklin, was visited at bis office in the superb marble butidin, the corner of Bioudway and Levuard street. He jd that the decision as far thoir company was concerned was all they had bven contendin, The officers of their company had been for years endeavoring to settle these claims and said to the Southern policy holders, ‘We want to treat you equitably ; we don’t want to make money out of you and offer you the surrender value of your poli- cies, and now the Court holds the samo view. In act, the Chiet Justive said that, ipse facto, the policy holders were not entitled to one cent, but his brother judges did not all agree with him in this.” WHAT A POLICY HOLDRR SAYS. One of the largest policy holders in New York city said to the writer in connection with this suryect:— An essential featare of this scheme of life insurance is the mathematical calcdfAtions necessary on which the premiums and amounts ured aro based, and these calculations again are based on the assumption Ol average mortality aud of prompt payments and com- pound interest thereon. Delinquency cannot be tol- erated nor redeemed: except at the option ot the company. This has always deen tho understanding and practice in this depart- ment of business, Sume companies, i 18 true, accord a grace of thirty days or other fixed pe- riod, Within Which the premium in afrear may be paid on certain conditions of continued good health, «ec. ; but this is a matter of stipulation or of discretion on tho part of the particular company. When no stipula- Hon exists it 18 the general undérstanaing that time 16 material, and that the forfeitare is absolute if the pre- minm be not paid, The extraordinary and even aes- perate effort sometimes nade when an insured person is in extremes (0 meot a pretium coming due demon- strates the common view ot this matte Ssut outside of all this the companies oftentimes delude and ensnore their policy huiders in ways that | cannot too strungiy in, aud there jsone point to which I espectally call the Hera.v’s attention, and to which 1 hope the eyes of every policy holder in the country rhed, and that is, when ai gent pots him his ya the premium in advance—the next year and the nextho pays, always, mark you, in advance, Then, if he defaults in one payment, the company tells bim bis policy has Japsed. Now this is not and should not be tolerated; in fact, bis policy bas not lapsed until he is in default » yoar—that Is, if he paid the premium for a year at iret w look atthe printed regulations of one of the large companies in this regard, “The company 4ves not agree r spe dence of the tusurable cond: given. No policy hoider mu: pec when his premium will be due. It is the practice of the company to send these notices as reminders whon the audress 18 known, but no responsibility 18 assumed ‘on the part of the company In consequence of their non-reception”* Now, when a person from any cause neglecss to pay premium the physician can very well give a cer- 6 that @ person is non-insurable, and it happened tu have paid a good dup policy, rance, which, proporly conductod, is one oat blessings Of the age.
