THE BOARD OF AUDIT AND THE HAcxlsY CONTRACT.

NFw York, Sept H. 1867.
CHAUNcEY N. DEPEw, President Of the Board Of
Audit,
SRA case involving the sum Of about $500 900 has
been brought before your Board for adjudication is
case which has heretofore proved Of more than ord
nary importance in its developments and implications.
and the public has been long familiar wish many of its
details refer to the revival Of the claims for damages
against the city by the agents and assguees Of the
Hsckley contract. As circumstances have necessarily
made familiar with this notorious case, is not as
think, unbecoming IN me TO inform you, and through
you the honorable members OF the Board Of Audit
that l desire to BIO publicly heard on the subject
OF these claims when they come before you for
consideration During the two years and three months
while the operation my position as super
nteDdent Of Sanitary Inspection In the City Inspectors
department, necessarily placed me In the way OF be-
coming acquainted with the operations OF that contract
and with the parties who bad the management or those
operations am therefore, possession Of facts and
data which, when presented to the Board OF Audit WILL
! confident found sufficient prove not only the
worhessness of the claims in question: but also that
the city has Us own just and legal demands against the
suretes OF Hackley to the Of hundreds OF thou
sands OF dollars.
1t was my intention in this connection to comment
upon circumstances ranspr in the early stages
OF cation before the Board and particularly to
ACT which has painfully forced itself upon the public
mind This fact Is SIMPLY that In several instances
tue interests OF the city In opposing many
unjust CLAIMS brought and to be brought be-
fore you, entrusted to hands which have hereto
been industriousy occupied in the business Of
urging claims of the very character which 1t is tho
duty OF the city to resist The personal application OF
this remark SO apparent to every one converan with
claims and claim agents that need not at this time
urge it with more particularly than now employ II
your honorable body not already alive to its signia
cance can you that the general anxiety upon
this point will be demonstrated In manner that will
leave doubt your minds For the present pass
1t over, as il may again become my duty 70 urge upon
your earnest consideration, and conclude BY asking
that If my offer Of services be accepted the Board will
please have me notified few days before the day
appointed hear the claimants under the Hackey con
tract Your Obedient servant 7. N. CARR.

TIE VERMONT CoNTRIBUTToNs.-Mr.
IIagar writes rs follows from Paris, to
the Record
All the contributions from Vermont
are taken from the boxes and placed in
the spots they are to occupy. The Ju-
ries have visited portion of these and it
is for the purpose of being here to call at
tention to those from Vermont that re-
main so long in Paris. In the absence
of the contributors | consider it duty
as well as pleasure to attend to their
interests in this respect.
am of the opinion that unless some
one were to hunt up the juries they
would visit but few if any of the Yer
mont contributions.
Our commissioner, Mr.. Beckwith.
seems to think it no part of his business
to see to getting them upon the ground,
or even notifying them that we are ready
to receive a visit from them, and they
express wish to be Officially notified
that We are ready for them before they
come. To cut up this red tape arrange
ment, | have ventured to approach the
.Iuries and ask Of them as personal ia
vor, that they would come and examine
the articles that had entrusted to my
care. In this way have succeeded in
getting .juries to see the articles, but |
must say that | shall not place very
high estimate upon their decision wheth-
cr it is for or against them. Of the
several iuries that | called to see our
contributions, there has not been an
American among them, and generally
they were men unable to understand the
English language. | provided myself
with an interpreter and have done the
best could, but greatly fear that the
small show made by the United States.
and the unfinished and diSorganized con-
dition OF the departments will have an
uniavorable OBJECT on the minds of the
jury. and they will fail TO discover the
intrinsic merits of many of our contribu-
lions
Nearly every contributor from Amer
lea that | have heard express all opinion
Is sorry that he ever made an effort to
attend the exhibition.
