ham- Of The Albany Ssaiesnsn, who b Secretary Of
the State CSurci!, he'd blank charters on hand, sub
ect to the order Of Jeese C. Dam, President OF the
State Courcl II IL contended that one Of the blank
charters was fned mp by some without the know
ledge or authority Of Mr.. Damn. who hss sioce
been Induced to sustain Mr.. Brigham, or who
ever else may have Eiled up that blank, through
the intercession Of member who p represented
to be largely interested With him in the Reci-
procty Bank Of Buffalo now gone by the board.
The party who had been disfshchised by the actso
Brigham and Dunn appealed 70 the General Council,
ard that body appointed committee of five of their
number with power to investigate the difeaes in the
Ninth Ward and the causes of the rupture That
Committee, sfter lengthy investigation and exsmina-
ton of witnesses under OATH reported that the psyer
clique holding Il! supercsdng charter had procured
through false representations, that the causes assigned
by the party who adjourned the Council sine die for
az ourIing IT, that the other portion OF the party
were determined 10 sell out 10 the Black Republicans,
that there vas resolution on the books Of the Coun
Gil to the effect that the President thereof sh ,uld de-
clare it to be out Of order at any time to receive
solution or notion the object Of which would be to ad
ioun tha. Council sine die that without acting upon
that resolution, which was q matter Of record in the
Council the resolution 10 adjourn sine die offered,
entertained by the President and carried BY vote Of
n to 9; that the entered written protest against
the scon Of the Counci on thai resolution that the
Old members of the original Council Including the .
who protested against the action Of the A have since
continued to meet regularly in the same Council cham
ber In the examination before the In nvestgating Com
mtee il was claimed TO be conclusively proved thai
the party who had adjourned the Council sine die were
wrong in every respec. hom the beginning. The In
vestigaiing Committee made majority and minority
report TO the General Committee who created them.
The majority and minority report agreed as to the fact
that the party who adjourned the Council and now held
the supeIcedng charter were wrong that the grounds
on which they rested their case were fslacouf that
they made false representations to Mr. Damn with re-
gard to their numbers, &c.
Mr.. Dam, on receiving their communications, Also
commuI caons from the dsfranch:ed party, in refer
ence to the matter, toegrsphed to Mr. Brigham not to
grant charter 70 the q applicants whc had adjourned
the council until thorough investigation was had In
reference to the Ninth Ward matters. Mr.. Damn ale
wIote to Brigham forbidding him TO grant charter
until such investigation was had. Brigham was absent
from home a. the tie and therefore did not receive
either the telegraphc dispatches or letter. Mr. ann
.ays that certain person employed in the office OF
Tie Al5aay Statesman must have filed up the charter
in question without authority The disfranchisedpay,
ON asoerainng that the other party had succeeded in
obtaining charter occurred about $50 names Of mem
bers of the old council to remoustrance against the
rrsntipg of that charter. On the receipt OF those
names and remor STRANGE to which they were appended
Jesse G. Damn depu.ized Mr.. Brigham to visit New
York, and mike thorough investigation into the
difficulties existing in the Ninth Ward, and Mr.. Damn
saws IL at M Brigham his return from New-iork,
informed him tba. he had made thorough invesiiga
ton into the natter tia. the charter bad been grant
ed TO the right party, and recommended to so let 1t
remain. On being thus informed, Mr.. Damn wrote
letter TO one of the members Of the chartered party TO
the effect that inasmuch as the char.er had been
granted ard they were working so nicely under IT, he
would ssucton the charter as granted. On the other
hand the members of the disfanohised party boldly
assert thst Mr. Brigham never one of them on the
subject and they were not even swsre Of invesss
ton being hsd but the subsequent action of the Gen.
era Committee in the prsmises induced Ar. Damn to
communicate with the Secretary Of tho General Com
miea. ard the following is copy of the communica-
ton addressed to the latter on that occasion:
