SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DENMARK
A Leak I'm Corporation Circles.
A Committee of Exam nation Called
fer, but the QuestIOn Is DOdged.
BoIting of seven Members

During the session Of the Board Of Com
mon Council held last night, Mr.. jenkins
offered resolution giving the committee
already appointed the power TO examine
into any department of the corporation,
from the LIST October, 1868, up to the pre-
sent time, and also the right to demand
books and papers. Upon the introduction
of this resolution, Mr.. Sanders, offered an
amendment, that joint select committee
be appointed. The friends of the resolu-
tion. opposed this motion ON the ground that
if the resolutions should go to the Board
of Aldermen it would be killed, as similar
resolution had been served. Gaines, the
deputy sheriff, ard member of that au-
gust body, and a gentleman of great
legal ability, so-called, commended that one
branch Of the council had no right 10 make
such an examination without the concur
renee of the other branch, insisting, too,
upon the face Of truth itself, that the in
vestigatioa of the school fund frauds was
carried on by both branches Of the Legis-
lature, when il is a well known fact that
the Senate had nothing whatever to do with
the matter. Mr.. Thayer here took issue
with the renowned gentleman, and told
him that the examination had been con-
Quoted by a committee from the House Of
Representatives. But all this was TO no
purpose; the amendment was adopted, and
lot of white washers placed on the COM
mittee, over 8 committee heretofore legally
constituted. Thayer, Jenkins, Randall
Brown and Jim Sumner, the faithful watch
dogs of the treasury, again rallied, and
attempted TO show that the action of the
Council had been wrong, when the anti
investigationists became alarmed and
Withdrew, leaving the body without quo
rum. For the benefit of the tsx-paying
community, we will hand down these bolt
ers and seceder5 to posterity. Their names
are Gaines, Sanders, Jolly, Long, Bssso,
johnson and Kirby.
The question naturally arises, if there
has been no squaudering and pilfering of
the sacred corporation funda, why oppose
this examination. Are these boilers APP
prised Of the fact, and do they wish to
dodge the issue? or 10 other words, are
they interested in the rascality that has
been practised, and simply wish to shield
themselves? If they are honest men, they
should al least relieve themselves from
charges 90 grave. They stand suspicion
before the community, and their &C
cusers are those who have served with
them in the same deliberatiVe body. Has it
indeed come TO that point where insinus-
tions bold arc made from those who
ought to know, that the peoples money
has been stolen, and in the face of such
charges portion Of that band who are
sworn 10 protect the interest Of the cor
poration, are gifted with the effrontery to
abruptly take their leave. We want this
portion of the evidence to 60 before the
public 1t will convict before any honest
tribunal

Ing the poverty snd hsrd-up condition Of
the customers Of the banks. The legal
tenders are deceased s., 05S, IA, owing to
the drain on New York by the country
banks. The loss of legal-ienders would
have been nearly 100000 but for the
remittances of gold from the interior to
the extent of at least Sl.5OO,OOO, which
we're sold in this market to raise currency
and settle debts. The statement, there
fore, shows decrease of only 81, 49,, 1923
in specie, although the Customhouse re-
ceipts for the week were $2,743, 222.
For country protesting desire to re-
turn to specie payments, the steady de-
crease Of the amount of specie in the
country is remarkable anomaly. Since
the passage of the legal tender act in 1862,
we have exported about sS9S, OOO. 600 Of
goldto Europe, and last year SIC, 000, 600
a sum of gold or real money exceeding in
amount the greenback circulation-there.
by forcing into the vaults of the Bank Of
England and the Bank of France the
United States share of gold as we'll as Their
own. The result has been plethora Of
gold or real money in Europe for thres
years past, 40 that capital could be Dor
rowed there at less than half the rates cur
rent in the United States, say from 2 to
per cent. per anaum.
The exports of specie from New York to
foreign pOrts last week amounted to $685.
585 against 81, 2Sl, O52 the corresponding
week last year. The following table will
show the total exports of specie from New
York to foreign ports from Jan. TO April

WrItnfHRhens COrpns

Out of some misunderstanding yesterday
of legal point or extent Of authority be-
tween Esquire Thurneck and W. F.
Funston, of the detective police force,
grew a degree of unpleasantness that rem
ders necessary the interference of His
Honor, Judge Smith, Of the Criminal
Court. The Justice ordered Mr.. Funston
imprisoned for contempt of court, but be-
fore the writ could be executed application
was made to the Criminal Court for writ
Of habeas corpus. The writ was granted,
and Mr.. F. recognized in the sum of Eve
hundred dollars for his appearance before
Judge Smith this morning in order to
further hearing Of the case.

lEX-President johnson.
The Speaking Postponed until
Saturday at IL o'clock. r >

In consequences of the inclemency Of
the weather yesterday, it was deemed ad.
visable by the committee that the proposed
speech of ex-President johnson should be
postponed, and upon consultation, Salur-
day at II o'clock was deemed the most OPP
perfume time.
This pOstponement could hardly be
avoided. The Hall of Representatives at
the cspitol would not accommodate one
half the people who were anxious TO al
tend. The city was full of strangers.
The trains which arrived in the
morning we're crowded with persons from
the adjoining counties. Those who came
from Rutherford, Bedford, Williamson,
Maury, Giles, Montgomery and Sumner
and there were large delegations from sl
these counties, were sadly disappointed
but they must try TO get back on Saturday
Unfortunately we have no hall large
enough for such an occasion, and the dis
tinguished visitor will have to speak il
the open air. The public square is larg,
enough for the ten thousands who are cage
to hear what the Ex-Presidsnt has 10 say

FIRST BOARD,
The New York Post of the afternoon of
the 81 inst. save:

the Sd inst. says:
Cash gold continues scarce, although il
seems to be more abundant than currency,
and holders of coin have paid from two to
i've per cent. TO have their gold balances
carried. A single loan is reported free oil
interest TO both borrower and lender. The
week opens with a sharp demand for
money from the brokers, and rates on call
loans are still high-seyen per cent. cur
rency with q commission of 1872 to l-l6
being the rate on pledge of government
boRdsP on railway and miscellaneous
shares the larger number Of loans have
been at currency interest and Lilo, al
though brokers have paid at the exchange
4 for having stocks carried until Tomorrow.
The city banks are extremely poor as is
reflected in their last statement, and instead
OF belly in condition to expand their
loans will probably gradually contract
them. While shipments of currency from
this centre have been discontinued, there ia
ss yet no money returning here from the
neighboring cities, and rates of New York
exchange at the Southern money centres
are not favorable to receipts from that secs
ton, although we notice an improvement
of 4 at New Orleans. Il should be re-
membered, however, that the large borrow.
ers on stocks have depended but little On
the banks. There il a fair business in
commercial paper, and choice acceptances
pass at nine to twelve per cent, buyers
showing preference for paper running
from three to five months. The extreme
range of single named paper is ten TO
eighteen per cent"

New York city for the week ending satur-
day last, April 3, compares as follows with
the corresponding week last year; to which |
