II has also trauspired mat Van Denburgh served
juror on the thai OF one OF the cases before re-
ferrcd TO- in which the genuineness Of signature was
in question, the only one that was brought to Trial
at ihBt term. Tie Committee have made efforts to
obtain information from the counsel IN that case and
from other parties, that would throw some hight on
this matter, and establish whether not there was
any connection between the appointment Of tits
inor and these cases alluded to- but without success.
Mr. Van Denburgh, early last Summer, removed
himself and household goods TO Western State and
has not been heard from. The appointment of
Young admits OF perfectly innocent explanation,
ne being relative of OF the Associate Justices,
who wished to remain in the city during the session

But the singular aspect Of several features in
the other case-thc approach OF perfect
stranger to presiding Judge, ana reque't
ing the appointment OF another stranger as n
uror-the extraordinary manner in which that re-
quest was complied with-the pertinaciiy of the
Judge in insisting on those men being placed OH the
ist Of Jurors are questions that are yet unexplained
WHY the Committee have alot sooner reported 49,
nerhaps az much in want OF an explanation. II now
appears that one Of delay was the inability OF
all members OF the Committee TO agree upon one re.
port The majority proposed giving the evidence OF
Judge Gould IN HE own words, explanatory OF bis
conduct i'm the case, while Messra Herman ana
Hutchings thought that the language OF his tesli-
mony made things look w0rse than the facts really
were. Messrs. Bingham, Comstock, and W waterbury
sign one report, Messrs. Herman and Hutcnlngs the
other. Two other members Of the Committee have
never taken any part in the proceedings, one being
In service at the seat OF war.
II il somewhat singular that one year since, IN
view of the facts then ascertaned, and not one OF
which has since been dispIOved or modified, Mr..
Herman wa, Tor the immediate impeachment OF some
iofy. Now he thinks everybody is fully eXcuipated
What has diminished bis zeal Tor the purity Of tue
administration OF justice, led to the abandonment
of the theory that in Judge blunder may be a.
uischieyous as "a crime, are questions yet unan-
swered. We only kaow that he s extremely soli-

gEv-YORK INSTITUTE FOR THE BLIND.
Some time since Committee appointed 70
investi1nfe charges against the management of tie
New-York Institution tor the Blind. Mr.. Priuge this
morning made report, from which II appears that
the investigation was set foot by two men named
Ross and Bleakie, who bad made "a contract with the
managers OF the Institution Tor The purc are Of the
property OF the Institution Eighth and Ninth
venues for the sum of s39j 0C0, which they paid
$4,000 They have since been receiving all the
rer "a ard profits OF the property, but have not PAID
them over b the Institute, by their contract they
wcr. bound 70 do nor have they paid taxes and
assessments Oh the property. For these delinquen-
cie- they nave been sued by the managers OF the
INSTITUTION. Hence this inves igation. The Com.
miitee find nothing wrong touching the general
manager ems OF the Institution, but find one or two
thinps that have exrted that needed and have re-
cev,d correction. 1hc sale of the property was made
on very fair terms for The institution but 1t appears
dat two IT the managers, one OF whom was Il real
estate broker, divided between them some six or
seven hundred dosrs but that since THE inyestiga
ton bad commenced, these two managers have
fe.Igued. To guard against abuse an tie mode OF
furnishing supplies b this and other similar lnstiu-
tors the Committee recommend the bill relating to
that subject reported by tie Committee on State
Charitable. Associations. The Committee speak
highly of the character Of the Superintendent, L. G
KIN and Of the general management OF the inst-
tuition, and lind "ro evidence OF any misappropria-
ZION Of fund. received from the State, or from any
other source
