directors Of tlis bank attended to their busi-
ness properly no such sum or money could
ever have been sbstracted.. Here was teller
who only received q moderate salary, and
yet lived in spleadid style on Staten island;
but it would seem that none Of tho directors
took the trouble to examine his accounts. y
this the way ia which our banks are man
aged. Do bank managers thus neglect the
trust con6ded to thems We hold that in any
well regulated establishment such enormous
peculations are absolutely impossible.
ONE VoTE PER MINUrE-IMPorrAN Con-
sIDERATIoSs FOR THE VOTERS IN THIS CRY
The recent registry Of names In this city shown
that upwards Of ono hundred and twenty
six thousand names Of citizens have been regis
tered to vote tomorrow Tor President oS
the United States There are probably about
five thousand more who have not been regis
tered who will 60 to the polls to vote. This
fact shows the Importance Of every person
doing ell that he can to prevent any obstrue-
ton at the polls, and the necessity Of doing all
in his power to facilitate rapid voting. The
sun rises on that morning at six o'clock and
minutes past four o'clock, giving just ten hoars
and six minutes for voting. There are TIVE
hundred and twenty-three poll districts. Il
therefore, one vote Is polled every minute II
each of these districts, l34 1873 votes can be do
posted. AS matter OF course there will be
many delays at all the polls by challenging
voters, which will necessarily take up con-
siderable time. There will probably be from
one hundred and fvo to one hundred aud ten
thousand citizens apply to vote, and in order
to get all their votes in it will be necessary
that vote shall be received at each of the
districts on an average OF one in every minute
and half. The voters will therefore see the
necessity OF going to the polls early, to vote
| with all the rapidity possible, step one side.
| and allow others to do likewise. The inspeo-
tors and polling clerks should also discharge
their part of the duty as rapidly as possible and
not place any embarrassment in the way, and
thus prevent any legitimate voter from casting
his vote. Every person in this city Is in
terested in having full vote polled. Esp9r
cialy is this the case with the numerous cari :
didates Let every one, therefore, make it his
special duty to help forward the voting To-
morrow. Vote early and lose no time

THE CTY JuDGEsHIP-A Word TO JON
MoKEoS AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY HALL
liam F. Howe, the McKeon candidate for Cit,
Judge, has very curious record. In 1859 b
made an affidavit in the Supreme Court that b.
was citizen of the United States, and Wa
then admitted to the bar. In 1863 be mad
another affidavit, in the Superior Court, thS
| r. nd ,oct Of tha OuAA
Of Great Britain, and he then became natura'
ized II one Of these oaths was true how coul
the other be- In the face Of such facts 1t wi,
| be useless to vote for William F. Howe, S
could not hold the Office even il he should haS
pen to be elected. Every vote cast for hin
therefore, will be thrown away.
Mr.. John McKeon, whose organization nom
mated william f. Howe, owes it to the cour
the bar, the public and himself, to take immi
diate notice OF this false sw caring and Of tt
fraud committed upon the courts. Mr.. Nj
Kcon is q reputable citizen and leading mer
ber Of the bar, and he cannot consent to oot
nive at and endorse such nefarious practice
We expect to hear from Mr.. McKcon upo
| this subject at the General Term Of the 81
] preme Court to-day, and we are sure that he WI
not need to be reminded Of his duty in y
premises by the judges Of that court As soc
as the election II over District Attorney Ha
will undoubtedly bring the matter before u
Grand Jury and obtain an indictment for pas
jury. Mr. Hall is too vigiIant public ofic.
to allow case like this to pass unnoticed al
unpunshed Mr.. Hall may obtain further pa
I ticulars BY application to Edwin James. isS
ex member Of sbe British Parliament, now Z
this city. 2
