Tho Fraud Oueati0n.

The Tribune says; The promised &C.
counts Of the Controllers Office will not
be distributed to-day for publication,
although these accounts are printed.
1t is said they will be kept back until
after the 6rst Of the meetings are call
ed for the purpose of investigating the
alleged swiudles and corruptions OF
Tammany. 1t appears that two calls
for a public meeting have been circu-
lated, and one is denounced by the
other as fraudulent, designed to divert
attention and to divide the forces OF
those who are disposed to bring the
public servants to proper discernment
OF their stewardship in the matter, OF
expending the peoples money. What
is claimed by the Tribune and Times as
the genuine call is published this morn
ing, and contains, among other names,
those of Moses Taylor, Marshall O..
Roberts. John Jacob Astor, August
Belmont & Co., J. and NJ. Seligmore d.
Co.. Lewis & Macy, Fiske & Hatch,
Robt. Winthrop & Co., Henry Clews

Mr.. Edwin Hoyt, OF the firm Of Hoyt,
Sprague & Co., of 100 Franklin street,
stated 10 the reporter yesterday that he
was called on by a person with "call. !"
and expressed himself as anxious to
JOIN in any well.conducted measure de-
signed to bring out the truth in regard
to the charges against the city officials,
and that he accordingly signed the pa
per. Subsequently he was waited upon
by another person. who desired him to
sign a paper published yesterday. This
he declined to do. giving as his reason
for 80 doing the tact that a much more
largely signed call was already in circu.
la,ion, and that it would be bad policy
to divide the force of the movement by
holding two meetings under different
auspices. He was surprised when he
read the call published yesterday, to
find on the list of the signers' names q
very different one from that which he
had Joined. His curiosity being aroused
he read the body of The document
rather more carefully, and is disposed
to regard the matter in the light of a
fraudulent attempt to defeat the very
purpose for which the meeting is osten-
sibly called.
