Complaint Has Been Served Upon the
Broadway Bank,
based upon formal demand which has
already been made upon the bank to pay
to the city six and half million of dol
lars, assumed to be still standing to its
credit. The case for the city rests on the
principle that the Broadway bank is liza
bic for the return to the public treasury
of the money paid out during the rule of
the late warrants, bearing forged endorse
ments, and that validity is supposed to be
lent to the fictitious signatures by the
initials or full name of E. A. Woodward
is an entire illusion.
The Civil Service Commissioners.
A card from Dolman B. Eaton,
explains that it is erroneous
to suppose that the civil service
commissioners have abandoned their
labors on account of the recent action of
Congress in reference to appropriations
for their expenses. The commission is
still hard at work. Eaton speaks in the
most confident spirit of the progress the
reform is making, and of the firm support
it receives from the President and his
cabinet, and of the hold it is obtaining
upon the convictions of the people.
