the Board he is confident that there will not
be the same attention given to denying the
charge or TO counteractog it, that there has been
promuVating it, all of which, sofar as We are con-
cerned, Mr.. Smith knows to be untrue. And to
nske a cor clusion he believes the whole state
ment except as to the number of children in tho
rcom is wholly false and groundless, with not
word of truth in it. Mr.. Smith was followed by
ex Whisky Dealer Maloney a gentlemen who is
believed to know something about the discharge Of
ysgrants from Bachwell's Island. Mr.. Maoney's
name was mentioned as a visitor to these children,
and for that reason he thought himself called
upon to explain. He visited Mrs. Crlock, and
found her premises handsome tidy and clean.
The children, however, were not tidy nor
clean, but in keeping with the rest Of the chii-
dren." One Of them was weak aud sickly.
Mr. Malony then proceeds to state that the article
in TIE TRIBUNE was fal,e in many particulars,
aud "belieyes, as much as he believes in bis God,
that the being who could write such an article
"would pick pocket" He is cert,n that when
the truth comes TO be known, THE TRIBUNE will
find that its columns have been abused to tho dam
age of innocent parties. Finally, all the docu-
ments were referred to the Committee on Out
Door Poor, and the Clerk was directed to furnish
a copy of the afidavts and the statements to THE
TRIBUNE.
In our report We have given in full all that was
said at the meeting of the Governors yesterday.
They were very much exercised by the exposures
which had been made, and there seemed to be Q
general disposition to get along with it as smoothly
as possible The plea Of ignorance is an old story,
in cases of this Kind, and we presume they were
entirely satisfied with the afiidavits which they
had procured, and which we have presented; but
it happens that we have some Information which
was not presented to the Board yesterday. Be-
eide The parties whom they saw fit t, call upon.
there are others living in the immediate vicinity,
and there is the woman herself, and from
these parties we have statements quite as trust
worthy as those which are procured on behalf OF
the Governors For instance, Mrs. Frost, who
ceTtfes for them as witness, in another state
ment says that che saw the children in May last.
but not since officially, as sthe woman was reg rdel
as so good nurse that che did not need visiting.
However, as she lived near her, she had gone in .
few times. She Gays that during her visiting she
found children badly used in some cases, and re-
moved them; and when she went into such
neighborbood, after removal, the nurses would
call her foul names; that she did not dare to goout
after dark in such placer, because they threatene4
her life sto the children Of Mrs. Csrlock, sho
testifes to different stories in regard to their food
and the milk procured for them. When she was at
Jefferson Market she saw the reporter Of The
TRIBUNE, and gave him blowing up; aud tho
