THE BAND BEGINS TO PLAY.

rtrst 0nen.Air Concert at Lincoln
,rark.-A Favorable Beginning Of the
Season. i
The first open-air concert OF the season took
place yesterday afternoon at Lincoln Park. Tho
grass was green, tho sun shone bright in clear
sky, but the wind, which came from the north
east or thereabouts, was superhuously cold
for this time of the year. little
more caloric in tho atmosphere would have
improved it, besides adding to the comfort
OF the. audience, and increasing its ablh-
t. to appreciate the music. The audience was
quite numerous, considering that the entertain
ment had not been adequately advertised. There
was fine Belection of both sexes. They we're OF
all ages, sizes, shapes, and oolors on horse

They pe1egrnated ill over the park, meanderlng

HOW the UnfuifIafu1 IsuffiSfs "Went
Ruck,, on Poor Mr.. Ashton.
The fact that Samuel Ashton, County Commits
sioner, would like to be Judge Of some court,
ia patent to many people. He has made no at
tempt to conceal that he is d candidate, but taken
advantage Of every opportunity to advance him.
self toward tho bench. One OF his little schemes
to win over to his side very powerful influence
has been unsuccessful, as will be learned by read
ing what follows: Several dnys ago number Of
bailffs in the different courts received letter,
Of which the subjoined is a copy:
CHICAGO May Is; 1873.-MR. -: You are respect
fully requested, and all the haiifs Of the - court
to be present private meeting Of friends for con-
nth inst Please invite all the baiiis Of your court
Do not fan to attend. Respectfully, s. ASHTON.
Tho bailiffs Of the courts, as most people are
aware, are appointed BY the Judges. Hence, Is
It not singular that candidate should call N
men who would be his subordinates to consult
With him privately? The object Of this conference
was not divu1ged but can there be any doubt
that Samuel intended to secure the influence OF
the bailifrs to assist him in occupying an easy
chair and drawing $1,000 year from the County
Treasury? Unfortunately the bailiffs failed to
attend Commissioner Ashton had the room pre-
pared for their reception, and would have been
very obsequlous but the best lad schemes o1
mice and men gang aft agley."
To snv that the Commissioner was diaappolnt-
ed would not convey an idea Of his feelings; he
was heartsick, and could not imagine why tho
bailiffs did not appear. Had he not worked
hard for them, end used his influence to
secure them tho largest per diem possible
Hadn't he, when the Committee on Public
Service reported upon the matter Of the salaries
of the county officers, made motion to lay over
for week in order to obtain facts and figures to
prove that the Committee recommended 91o0, 600
too .much? Hadn't he, during the interim,
changed his mind, neglected to produce the facts
and figures, and worked and voted to give them
excellent salaries-more pay than their services
were vorth7 What ingratitule! The Commits
! sioner was unaware that the Bailin and Deputy

MORE SCANDAL ABOUT THEM.

MORE SCANDAL ABOUT THEM.
London special by cable says that General
Van Buren,, chief of the suspended Vienna
commissioners, has addressed to President
Grant very strong remOnstrance against his
suspension. An editorial i'm the Nieue Frsi
Prose- Of Vienna, quoting Minister Jay as it,
authority, and evidently inspired by him, al
leges that large sums were paid to the suspended
commissioners before leaving America, by a
number of firms, for various concessions. and
that money was accepted on the pretext of being
subscription for the erection of a model
schoo-hOuse. The journal ironically remarks
They thus exhibit the fruits of that institu-
ton" 1t mentions that two restaurant keepers
lGermans) paid 81 900 each for the school
house. 1t is openly charged that General Van
Buren, was cogDizant of the exactions. The
suspended commissioners are disposed to deny
the authority of Minister Jay TO temporarily
remove them. Minister jaw and General Van
Buren, have evidently been at variance from
the beginning, and the delay and disorganiza-
ton IN the American department of the expo
sitlon Is the necessary consequence. The list
of American exhibitors and the plan of the
allotment OF space are not forthcoming. IL is
reported that they were sent TO London by ex-
press and are lost, but IL Is probable that they
are among the official papers which General
Mayer refuses TO deliver to the newly-appointed
commissioners. IL is also reported that an
assistant Of the head commissioner borrowed
money of man who obtained a refreshment
contract, and operated with others in a similar
way.

Another Sensation I'm Wall street.

SUSPENSION OF THE ATLANTIC NATIONAL
BANK, OF NEW YoRK-THE CASHIER A DE-
FULrER TO THE TUNE OF 500 900.
Wall street was greatly excited on Saturday
afternoon by the rumor that the Atlantic
National Bank had suspended on account of the
embezzlement Of over 100000 by F. L. Tain
tor, the cashier, and subsequent developments
proved the report true. During the afternoon
Taintor went to Mr.. Tappan, chairman of the
executive committee OF the clearing house, and
coOlly told him he was a defaultsr TO the extent
OF $500 600. He further said that the directors
would visit the bank that day, when some of the
facts might come out; that they were a set of old
fogies, and he didn't want any scene or re-
proaches. MIR. Tappan at once called the clear
ing house committee together, and they imme
diately went to the bank. Mr.. Tappan informed
the president, Mr. Southworth, of the facts in
the case, and the old man sank down in his
chair and remained speeches for some time.
Mr.. Tappan advised him to close up, but the
grief stricken old man refused, and kept the
bank open until O'Clock as usual, receiving a
few deposits and paying out large sums to
panic stricken depositOrs, who came i'm hot
haste TO get their money on hearing the rumOT
about the bank. An examination by the clear
ing house Committee revealed the fact that over
100000 of the funds of the bank had been
stolen. The controller of the currency was noti-
ned, ana al once directed bank examiner Meigs
10 take charge of the bank as receiver.
The amount OF Taintor's defalcaton is some
thing between 800 600 and Si25 600, divided a.
foliows:-S75,000 in gold, which he took from
which had been placed in the bank for safe
Keeping; the balance was i'm securities which
had been in the bank as collateral on loan.
Taintor said he had lost a great deal of this
money in February last, and that the decline
in Pacific Mail had hurt him very badly. He
also lost In the late panic. The clearing house
committee found that not only the capital OF
the bank but also Its assets have completely
vanished owing to MIR. Taintor's skiful manipu-
lations. Mr. Tsppan says, however, that the
depositors will in all probability not suffer any
los, as the stockholders are responsible to the
last dollar. Mr.. Meigs was to begin to-day to
make a more thorough examination of the banks
affairs, while the United States will deal with
the defaulting cashier. The appointment o.
Meigs as receiver is only temporary.
The following is the financial condition of the
bank:-Realizable assets, S549, 600: liabilities To
depositors, S615 900; stolen securities from the
bank, S162 900 (the actual value of which i'm
market is S22o ,000;) capital of bank, 800 900
surplus, Sl6000; making an actual deficit OF
sto goo. This leads some to suppose that the
real losses OF Taintor are much larger than he
stated.
