Tammany's TroubIe-The City Finances
NEW YoRK, August 3.-The Tribune says
the promised accounts of the concroner
Office will not be distributed to-day for puo-
LEGATION. Although these accounts are
printed, it is said they will be kept oack
until after the first of the meetings calied
for the purpose OF investigating the swlhdles
and corruption of Tammany. IL appears
that two calls for public meetings have been
circulated and one is denounced by the
other as fraudulent, designed to divert at
tention and to divide the forces of those
who are disposed to bring the public serv-
ants TO a proper account of their steward
shin in the matter of expanding the peoples
money.
What is claimed by the Tribune and
Times as the genuine call As published this
morning, and contains, among other names,
those of Moses Taylor, Marshall y. Roberts,
j. and w. Seligman & Co., Howes & Macy,
Fish & Hatch, Robert Winthrop & Co.,
Henry Clews & Co.. George Opdyke d Co.,

Mr.. EdWln dOyC, OF tne HfHn Oh hoyt,
Sprague & Co.. log Franklin street, stated
to reporter yesterday that he was called
upon by person with 'eall, and ex-
pressed himself as anxious to join in any
welLconcerted measure designed to bring
out the truth in regard to the charge against
the city officials, and that he signed the pa
per. Subsequently he waswaited on by an
other person, who desired him to sign the
paper published yesterday. This he de-
clined to do, giving as his reason for so do
ing the fact that a much more largely signed
call was already in circulation, and that it
would be bad policy to divide the force of
the movement by holding two meetings un.
der different auspices. He was surprised
when he read the call published yesterday
to find the list of signers' names very diff
ferent one from that in which he had joined.
His suspicious being aroused, he read the
body of the document rather more carefully.
He is disposed to regard the matter in the
light of a fraudulent attempt to defeat the
very purpose for which the meeting is os-
tensibly called, ,sg46. 20 - i57d
