tercsfinr story Told by the Accounts Of
the Tenth National Bsnk.
Comptroller Green yesterday made fun
report to the Mayor Of the frauds recently dis
covered In the construction Of the new Court
House. On Dec. l, 1870, Messrs. fnaersoll, Nor
ton, Conan, and Walsh were appointed Court
House Commissioners, with q special appropria-
tion OF 100000 to complete the building. In
loss than three months after the nrst payment
they had paid out t5os, ,2l5l5 on warrants dated
from Dec. %, 1870, to March 4, 1871. or this sum
$l2,0i8 is traced TO Ingersolfs private account
in the Bowery Bank, where Il had been deposit
cd within thirty days after the first payment Of
the 100000 appropriation. Il has also been as
certained that sls2-0si.3 was drawn on war
rants with forged endorsements. Thus, q war
rant for $1,000 Is charged 10 the nrm Of Heath
& Smith, which was not In existence, and 81, ,35O
was drawn In favor Of persons whose existence
Is not yet known. ..oo.u.

and recourse was had TO the Tenth National

In the printed copy OF the proceedings for
mandamus against the Board Of Apportion-
ment by the Tenth National Bank 70 compel the
payment OF the rest Of the sA2.5p loan appears
a list OF bills purpOrting TO have been paid by
the Commissioner out Of the money borrowed
from the bank. There are bills Of fourteen diff
fcrcnt persons. and as proof of the enormous
fraud Il appears that, with three exceptions,
none Of the persons whose names are used ever
received the checks.
1t seems then from all these figures that the
Commissioners spent 81 ,068tS2, Of which therc
may have been genuine payments OF ftjO5l3
but Of this sum there are no proper vouchers for
t200000, and there is good reason for believing
the charges to be a. fraudulent rs the rest. But
even assuming the whole t450,bl3 TO be Q genuine

The FT. ST. PnIL1p CANAL --Prominen

HE Fl. ST. PHILIP CANAL prominent
citizens Of New Orleans are considering project
that, it is claimed will revolutionize the trade of
the Northwest. st point about eighty miles be-
low New Orleans is narrow neck of land which
divides the main channel OF the Mississippi River
from Breton Island Sound. On that neck is located
Fort st. Philip, massive structure. which ia
standing testimony that firm foundation can
be had for the proposed canal. A few miles east
of this narrow barrier is the harbor which it is
proposed shall be connected with the Mississippi
River by means of a ship canal. The harbor which
1t is intended to reach opens due east with clear
and unobstructed way to the high sea, having an
even and increasing depth all the way out varying
from about 30 feet until all soundings are lost.
When constructed, the canal will be filled only
with salt water from the Gulf, and the lifting lock
will be placed at the river end. 70 avoid the ,,os-
sibiity OF injury from unusual storms. grand lock
will also be erected near the outer end of the canal
on Sable Island. For the canal. as stated two
doors projected-one TO overcome the differ
encc OF level between the river and the gulf: the
other to close the canal its outer end during the
continuance OF hurricanes. TIE first viii be of
the ordinary form of canal locks, but will be larger
than before projected built 1t is to be 400
feet long between gates, 50 feet wide, and ~ feet
water sills. 1t is to be built timber plat.
form, and of beton, making the structure of sin
gle artificial stone. The gates are to be of iron
and hollow, with sufficient fotation to support
their own weight-fotation to be regulated by
water ballast to suit changes in the heights of tiles
The water for the lift Will be taken from the near
surface of the river. to be received on cushion OF
salt water to prevent deposit and will be dis
charged outside of the canal The guard lock is
to be of similar construction BUT it will only have
one pair of gates. The whole is to be rested on
courses Of timber bolted together, and these will
be rested on the firm blue clay which has been
found to exist there The gulf entrance to the ca.
nal Will be between two parallel piers, one mile in
length, built with timber piles and stones filed n
between the piles to the level of extreme high
water. The entrance to the river will be between
timber wharves 400 feet long.

The system of middle men, as they
are called, has become so permanently established
CARRYING on the business of the country, that it
cannot be readily, If ever, abolished. In some
places middle men are not only beneficial in facli-
itating the progress of business, but they are alb
solutely indispensable In other cases they are
not only dspensable, but it is absolutely necessary
to the highest prosperity of the producing and
manufacturing classes that they should he dis

There is ano,her thing about the action Of this

IS the clear ringing resolution in favor of home
manufactures. 1t is refreshing to see practical
views taken OF practical subjects. The great
sroub'e with this world is that men fail to recog-

face to face in order that 50 far possible. they
may deal directly with esch other. This can not
be accomplished in day. Systems of business
long established cannot be abolished suddenly, no
matter how imperfect incompetent, and costly
they may be. This result can only be reached BY
earnest, persevering, and intelligently directed
effort.
With view to commencing this work we have
talked extensively with farmers, manufacturers
and middle men. The farmers tell Us that they
are daily robbed by the two latter classes. The
manufacturers tell US that neither the farmers or
Oranges approach them in business way, but
that they demand single articles at wholesale
prices. The middle men tell US that they do more
work for their money than any other class, and
that they are doing an invaluable work in setting
up machines, and instructing the farmers in run.
ming their machinery.
Now, it is very plain that neither farmers or
Oranges can expect to obtain single plow at the
same rate that the middle man gets 100 plows, all
at one time. On the other hand it is very plain
one neignborhood, or one Grange will need at one
time fifty or one hundred piows, nor will they
want to buy more at any time than are actually
needed at that time, for if they are going to get
their plows at the lowest prices they must pay
cash, and they will have hone to much to pay for
what they need. How then are farmers ever going
to be able to procure their machinery at wholesale
prices
We think it Is plain that they never can without
organization and combination. We think it is
equally plain that such organization as is necessary
can be found in the Oranges. Suppose that in the
spring and the fall, at the proper time, each
Grange in the county ascertain how many of its
members want plows. Let each Grange then re-
port say to the County Council, and let the Council
appoint committee to deal with the manufactur-
ers. There can be no doubt that the manufactur-
ers will be glad to get such trade, and there will
be large competition among them to secure such a
trade.
But whatever course will be ultimately found to
be the best, we earnestly urge upon the Oranges
an earnest, an intelligent, and an immediate con.
sideraton Of this question.
