done in time for even formal opening on the LIST OF

Our own department seems, on more carefal
comparison to be less advanced than any other Not
only have none Of our gavels been placed in position
but not even the plans are known here IL seems
that all the papers are in possession Of of the
Commissioners now suspended on the charge Of
corruption and he has refused to deliver them up in
case his suspension is manned. In consequence of
this no one can ascertain the alotments of space,
and no arrangements can be made for putting the
American Exhibition in order 1t is understood that
Gen. Van Buren, has been obliged to serve the order
of suspension the recalcltrant Commissioners, in
spite of his own wishes, and that he has appended
withdrawing certificate to the effect that he still
retains the most absolute confidence in the integrity
and patriotic devotion of the said Commissioners.
10 Jew and native of Vienna), which is saying
good deal for the Commissioner The facts seem, to
amatter-of-fact vision, fully proven. After the
perience of the Credit Mobiler doubt not that the
public knows the value of official whitewash. At
all events, Gen. Mayer stands a whitewashed mon
ument of Gen. Van Buren's ingenuousness or inge-
nuity. Meanwhile the Viennese are enjoying the
gossip and the works are all standing still except
what can be done without the plans and papers OF
the Commission. The Investigation, conducted by
Mr. Jay and Mr. McElrath, is in good hands; but
the labyrinthine facilities of official malfeasance
are an obstacle to complete investigation which
may be inefficient at this distance as at home.
The principal field of operations, so far as now
known, was the restaurant interest in which there
was a lively competition, and some very sore heads
resulted. In one case $1,000 was paid to Meyer
and stipulation accepted that he should have per
cent of the receipts. This proposed to be explained
away by saying that one-half levied for the
schOOl-hOuse, for which no appropriation had been
made and the other half for general expenses in de-
fault of proceeds of the appropriation of Congress-
But il does not appear to have been returned after
the appropriations became available, and the payer
says that it was never expected to be returned In
another case it is reported that money was paid
and that the permission to put up the restaurant
was not received, which is the sorest case Of all.

A BROOKLYN CONTROVERSY SETTLED.

The long-pending controversy between Con-
troller Schroeder and Tax Collector Burroughs OF
Brooklyn in regard to the obligation OF the Collector TO
deposit daily in the City Treasury all sums received for
taxes and assessments, settled by decision rem
dered by Judge Pratt, yesterday The Collector has
been IN the habit Of receiving between 100000 and
$4,000 daily but has deposited this amount in such
sums and at such times seemed best to him, despite
the opposition Of the Controller, who insisted on his
making daily deposits After considerable correspond
regarding the matter 1t finally brought into
court and the decision is the issue Of peremptory wilt
OF mandamus compelling the Tax Collector TO pay the
receipts OF his department daily into the City Treasury
In his decsO the Justice declares that the statute il as
clear language can make II; that there ID no all-
bguity In the language aud consequently no room lei
for construction that the Collector shall pay over on
the day plainly expressed and as much the
OF the statute that he shall pay at all or
render account 20 the Controller When informed or
the decision, Collector Burrows expressed his sasfac-
ton the courts construction OF the statute, and said
that he should obey the WRIT but would ask the Com
Council for additional clerks and limit his cOec-
tons 10 10000 $2OOOO0 daily, which must always be
paid ia greenback he could not receive payment IN
cheeks, aH heretofore.

PosUREs - NEWLY DISCOVERED FRAUDS AN

The exposure in yesterdays TRIBUNE Of the sus-
pected design Of Mr. Kingsley, Judge McCue, and
other members Of the Brooklyn Bridge Ring to
throw the enterprise into confusion and thus delay
the completion of a work from the management of
which the publicity given to their schemes has
driven them, created the most intense excitement
In Brooklyn, and was the subject of gen.
eral conversation in financial circles Of New-YOrk
Both the local papers Of Brooklyn had leaders upon
the subject defending the Ring; but as it is well
known in that city that the Ring the proprietOrs
of one of these journals and that the offices of the
Bridge Company are rented from the other paper at
$4,000 q year where they are worth only about
$1,000, their opinions were not highly estimated. 1t
was generally conceded that the abandonment OF
tie enterprise by the Ring in consequence of tho
exposure of their designs to absorb 100000 mot
100000 as printed yesterday in the disguise
of payments to the Superintendent; and the
exposures Of THE TRIBUNE clearly indicated that
they intended to do SO in such manner as to COM
plicate and confuse the business of the Company
and delay the work. AS proof Of such design it
was stated that the Company had given Mr.. Kings
ley leave to 60 to Florida and Mr. ROeblng leave of
absence for six months during the best working sea-
son of the year. Much indignation was expressed
on both sides Of the river at the apparent perdy of
the Ring in tins matter and facts were elected
relative the past operations of the Company with
greater ease than ever before known the citizens OF
Brooklyn familiar with the facts having heretofore
been reticent upon this subject.
