THE FRAUDS OF TAMMANY.
From Official Accounts.


From the New York Times of the 2SthI
The New York Times publishes the
official accounts of the Tammany Ring,
and draws the following picture of cor,
ruption:
In the first place, the exposure which
we made of the "armories sWindleo is full
ly verified. Rents are still being paid fol
armories and drill-rooms qUhich cannot be
found, for others which are occupied, and
for all Oh scale which must astound prop
erty-owners in the city, who are not able
to get such prices for rent out of honest
tenants. For example: On April %, 1871
IngersOll & Watson " received 81, $50 for
one quarters rent of the armory No. So,
Christie street. There as no such place
Again, the armories" at Nos. los and 10
West Twenty-fourth street, for which the
city authorities acknowledge that they pay
rent at the rate of $1,000 year-a nice
little rent-are not occupied. The rooms
for which this 1900 a year is paid are
merely lofts OUer O. stable! "Charles john
son and others receive 81, 500 for one
quarters rent of armories in Ninth avenue,
which are also unoccupied. This is at the
rate of $4,000 year, and the place thus
rented is a top loft over stable. For two
small rooms at No. II University place,
not occupied, 81, 500 year is paid. :" Pa
ran Stevens lucky soul, is down for
Sc, 600 quarters rent for some lofts over
stables in Twenty-siXth street, near Sew
enth avenue. This is at the rate of S24 600
year, while the lofts are not worth more
than 900 at the very highest estimate.
With regard to the court house figures,
it will be seen that all the accounts are
given in the gross. Thus, J. Mob. David
son drew, on January 81, S27 200 for "safes, "
but no particulars are vouchsafed as to the
number of safes he supplied, or In what
offices they were placed. Then we have
the following amounts paid on account of
the dew court house:
Jan. 14-Allen & Stevens, for timber So, 009 81
Jan. l4-East Chester Quarry Com
pany, for marble. Observation-Disclosures. 73,477 70
Jan. 14-J. d. Welsh, Jr. and Arch
ibald Hall, for work, labor and
material, =" Lo51S GO
But no specifications are given of how
many feet of timber, or how many yards
of marble or stone, were actually supplied.
Would any private person be contented to
pay bills of which he was only allowed to
see totals, without any particulars what
ever?
1t will also be seen that the lucky plas
terer, Andrew J. Carney, continues to
makes good thing out of the tax payers,
and that G. s. Miller was paid $4,000 last
June, for work done in one armory-that
of the Ninth Regiment The New York
Printing Company it admitted to have re-
eeiVed $l42, 99l q in three months, and
advertising the November election in the
Ring papers cost the tax payers $50, 1874 so.
If the "bond accounts " include every
issue now outstanding, the county has
$23, 436, $50 still to pay. The grand total of
the figures we publish to-day is SIS l57 ,299 rs
and the sheets show about four millions
more, large proportion of which is for
salaries of county officers and clerks.

The Tribune Discovers More Frauds.

NEW York, August 2S.-The Tribune
this morning exposes system of frauds in
the Sheriff's Office, by which deputies, as
sistants and other associated politicians
made enormous sums out of persons ar
rested, charging them exorbitant fees for
trifiing services, ievyipg black mail upon
others, and extorting money in every pos
sible manner. Instances are detailed
where twenty-five dollars were demanded
and received for deputy to accompany a
prisoner on the way to Jail, forty dollars
for executing a judges order of discharge,
and number of other similar cases are
cited,

Alliance between Germany and Italy.

A cable dispatch from Salzburg yester-
day says that it is positively affirmed that
a new secret treaty of alliance, defensive
and offensive, has been concluded between
the Emperor of Germany and the King OF
Italy.
The italian government is said to be APP
prehensiVe that the clerical tendencies of
the majority of the National Assembly
might ultimately drive the French govern
ment to an active interference in favor of
the temporal power Of the Pope.
Prince Bismarck is said to have repre-
scented to the Italinn government that they
had both one common interest-that of re-
sisting the threatened French aggression,
pointing to the great result achieved by the
alliance between Italy and Prussia in the
war of lS66.-N. Y. Post, 18th ut.

In the summer of lS45, when Bismarck,
being then twenty -seven years old was on
duty as a cavalry officer, he was standing
with other officers on bridge near lake,
when his groom, Hilderbrand, the son Of
the forester on his estate, rode horse for
bath in the lake close by the bridge. Sud-
denly the horse lost his footing, and Hill
derbrand disappeared in the water. Bis
marck threw off his sword in an instant,
tore off his uniform and dashed headlong
into the lake to save his servant He
seized him, but the drowning man chung
to him so fast that he had to dive before
he could free himself. Bubbles rose over
the spot, and master and servant were Civ
en- up by the spectators as lost; but the
powerful swimmer had succeeded in re-
leasing himself and he arose to the surface
bearing up with him and bringing to land
his inanimate burden. The rescued man,
however, shortly recovered, and for the
brave action Bismarck obtained simple
medallion-the well-known Prussian safe
ty medal-which may occasionally be seen
beside the many stars on his breast. He
is proud of this mark of honor and it is
said that, on one occasion, a noble diplo-
matist asked him the meaning of this little
modest decoration, 81 am, ",he replied,

MURDERS NORTH AND SOUPH.-A tele-
gram was sent throughout the country
from Washinton yesterday purporting to
exhibit the number of homicides in each
State and Territory during the year end
ing May 81, 1870, as compiled from the
mortality returns at the census office. 1t
is perfectly marvellous how tho figures run
up in the Southern States and how they
dwindle down in the North. According to
this statement there 323 murders in Texas,
12S in Louisiana, III in Tennessee, 116 in
Georgia, 100 in Alabama, 81 in Missouri, SO
in Mississippi, As in North Carolina, and SO
on. Maryland is credited with 20, the
District of Columbia 49, and West Vir-
ginia 8. Virginia is not reported. OF the
Northern States New Hampshire is put
down for 1 and New York for 20, the latter
being the highest figure for that section.
The report closes with the observation that
returns from few counties not yet re-
ceived may slightly change this state

MILLIONS OF CoAL.-From Chattanooga
to Smiths Gross Roads the distance is
thirty-siX miles, the road running through
succession of the little valleys with which
the great Tennessee Valley abounds, keep=
ing some three miles from the Tennessee
River all the way, and from mile to two
miles from the base of Walden's Ridge.
This ridge is full, SO to speak, of coal. For
hundred miles it presents vein from
two to twelve feet thick. This is worked
in many places, and the coal hauled to
