The troubles which we last week antici-
rated would occur between the citizens OF
Vcrmiliou Parish and the horde of cattle
thieves that iniest that region have III last
broken out with terrible violence. The COM
nIittec, urged 10 desperation by the c1ol ali-

their long pent-up feelings OF indignation,
and commenced the work of rrllibutire JUS

Our streets are full of vague and cy1gge-

obtain correct detailed account of the eX-

at hand we elicit the following information:

single failure created yesterday. brokerage
firm which had somewhat iuflated reputation
on the Street in consequence OF q rninored
connection with Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt
went under, being unable to stem
the current. Long of stocks, az the
phrase is. the firm could not get the money
needed to carry them. Rates of interest and
scarcity of money compelled suspension.
The furry for time was considerable. The
failure was not, however, so serious an affair
as it first seemed to be. Nevertheless, it
scared brokers, dealers, and customers
very much. The only word which describes
the condition of the street is inflammable."
The stocks which fell seven per cent and
lesser rates, rallied subsequently. But the
tindery aspect of affairs continues; bearish
prophets predict general conflagration. A
more satisfactory Gf not more reasonably view
of the case is that the worst is over Mean
while, we get no light on the reported lookup
of currency and some begin to doubt if there
is any. 0vertradlng has wrought this woe,
and prices must go lower yet, before any
thing like real values is reached.

spFcTuEN CITY CLAIM.

A suit lust ended in favor OF tho city re-
veals very clearly the character OF some OF
the claims which the Ring left as legacy.
and the summary manner In winch OohCroiior
Green refuses to pay them.
Among the most notorious OF tho sinecur-
lists of the Department OF Public WORKS were
nearly one hundred political rufiians VINO reg
ularly drew pay, before Mr.. Green was ap-
pointed as painters Of Lamps and Lamp
"posts.n There were enough of them TO nave
painted all the lamps in the city score OF
times over each month, but as the lamps were
never painted at all it was safe to assume
that the wages were not earned. Controller
Green so assumed, and on the discovery Oh
this system of fraud refused to pay all VINO
could not prove that they had done any ser
vice. In this way the roll was reduced the
second month after Mr.. Green took office to
ten men, and tho expense to one-tenth the
amount paid by the Ring. This was direct
saving of not less than $4,000 each month, OF
about 100000 for tho term of blr. Green's
service as Controller.
Thirty-seven of these sinecurists assigned
their claims TO Nicholas V. Power, who sued
for the amount claimed to be due on the pay
roll for December, 1871. Tho case was made
test, and disputed by the Controller yigor-
ously. OF the thirty-soven assignees only
thirteen had the eflrontery to appear in court,
and only three were willing to swear they
had ever done any work. Several testified
that they had not done any work as painters
but claimed that they had occasionally re-
ported for duty at the Corporation yard.
Probably the duty then assigned them was at
the polling booths to intimidate honest voters.
Judge Davis on the plaintiffs own testimony
threw the case out of court.
Many of the minor claims of the same
fraudulent character have been similarly dis
posed of but there are still pending Others OF
greater magnitude and equal irregularity
which the Controller will yet be called upon
to dispute. Among these are the fraudulent
claims of OBrien as Sheriff, payment of which
the Ring at Albany is endeavOring to force;
the gross oyercharges Of Edward Jones, the
Ring stationer, and the bills of Charles Guidet
for the south Fifth-ave. and other pavements
Not one of these claims is honest, and not
one ShOuld Ike paid.
