ALMOST A RIOT.
There was QUITE All Interesting scene and pref
ty fiedt riot yesterday, at city halt The
board of audit was in session, and as this is the
body of officials that determines upon the pay
ment of bills TO the department laD0 ers, there
is at the present time very grcatmtefest taken
In their action, A large crowd of people were
present, among whom were many labOrerS from
yiriOiiS departments. WHO have not seen any
money ffotn one t6 two months Besides these
there were many buuimers who have held sine
| cures from rammauy officials Of tile lianb
| Smith and Bill Tweed stripe, who find their
| credit even at the gin mills entirely exhausted
| This portion of the crowd was quite turbulent
| and are melting the laborers TO degree almost
| of frenzy. The board laid over the pay rolls of
the police till Monday. This raised great
| howl, but no violence was attempted, they
then very fooishly audited and allowed the pay
rolls of the inspectors of pavements, said in.
| spec;ors being generally believed 10 be Il crowd
| of uumtigated political dead beats
This made the laborers and the friends of the
unpaid police provoked When the announce
ment was made that the board had adjourned
| without auditing the pay rolls of the labOiers
and others, number of the spectators eXclaim-
| ed that their wives and children were star wing
and they should have their money. Controller
| Green went into his private office and the con-
| course pushed TO the door and attempted 10
break it in. They succeeded in efecting an en-

Green's room. When they were elected they
demanded that Green should be brought out,
but the police force was soon increased and
elected the cOncOurse from the room. They
went away threatening revenge, and some of
the timid people in the metropolis fear that, in
cited by the satraps of Tweed and Smith, we
shall yet be treated to bread riot.
HoNoRs FOR TIE MODEST.
The Americas club last night elected VIM. M
Tweed president, and Henry Smith vice presi-
dent. Tweed made speech, saving he looked
forward to the time when, absolved from poll
tics and litigation he could devote his whole at
tention to the welfare OF the club.
FoRGERs.
The forgers are at work again. A check for
$780, purporting to have been drawn by NOurSe
4 Brooks, on the Fourth national bank and
certified by that bank, passed through the clear
ing house. The signature OF the firm and the
certiiication Of the bank were both lorgeries,
| but were so well executed as to be well calcu-
lated to deceive The check was passed 10 Al
bany.
There is an unusual quantity of ice in the
| North river. The Hobokcn ferry boats run at
| half speed only, and are sometimes compelled to
| stop the engines altogether. Some OF the fields
| OF ice are very strong and thick, and the boats
trcmble from stem to stem when they come in
contact with them. The river is completely coat
cd with ice from the National steamship dock on
the one side, to the White Star dock on The
other, and the obstacles in the way of naYga-
ton are more serious than at any previous time
this winter.
JUDGES TO BE JUDGED.
The judiciary committee of the state senate,
which begins tomorrow its Investigations of the
charges against Judges Barnard, Cardozo, In

bar association to omit the name of Judge Nc
Gum from the list of the accused in order to
use him as states evidence. The opposition of
many OF the bar association became however,
SO strong that this intention was abandoned.
| and Judge McCunn will be included among the
accused, one of the charges against him being
| thar, when acting as receiver in the Binngcr
| bankruptcy case, he used the money in his
charge, $4,000, in putting up buildings.

the papers Of the bank left by Conklin, and he
