The matters in issue between the
President of the Bunk and Trust Com
pany, Treasurer Curdozo aud Comp.
troller Hoge, are not yot amicably set
tied. The. Treasurer sent to tho Gene
raj Assembly. yesterday. long lettar,
conveying the question from his point
of view, and stating his view OF his duty
in the promises. The special com nit
tee Of the Senate appointed to inyesti-
| gate the affair made their report, con.
! Guiding with resolution, which, with
the Treasurer's letter. will come up as
special order to-day at o'clock. This
committee atates that Mr. Solomon gave
to e1-Treasurer Parker the necessary
vouchers for the bill payable of $25. 600,
and that they arc not now on file in the
Treasurer's Office. Parker acknow-
lodges the receipt. but fails to give salts
factory account of their disposal. It
appears, they say, that Solomon gave
the necessary consideration for the
note, and is, therefore, entitled to pay
ment. Having suid this good word for
Solomon. they make thugs even by cx-
pressing their approval OF the Treasurer
ID examining md scrutinizing every
paper presented for payment. He is
encouraged to persevere in this rigid
course in words, and ut tho Same time
they submit resolution that lie be in
s.ructed and authorized to pay tho bill
payable for $4,000, innsmuoh as the
said bill had been passed upon, and
ordered to be paid by an Act of the
General Assembly OF November 10. 1873.
The com mittee further recon mends in
their resolution that the Attorney. Gone
raj be authorized and instructed to insti-
tute suit against Niles G.. Parker for the
recovery Of the vouchers belonging to
the said bill payable. They balance this
lick against Niles by back -hnnded
blow aimed at the Comptroller. They
regard his action in Issuing instructions
to Cardozo. about the why lie shall pay
out the State funds, &c., as an unwar.
ranted and dangerous assumption Of
power. So the balance of censure is
held even between Hoge and Parker, as
that Of commendation is between Solo
mon and Curdozo. All parties ought to
be satisfied nnd may sing: II don't care
how you share 'em, so you sLare 'em
even." Solomon will feel radiant, Car
dozo will he delighted with the reward
of his scrutiny, Parker will foel little
unpleasant. but as misery likes com
paTJ, viii take a,,iuu mffoTt from The
fact that ke has q partner in the cen
sures of the special committee.
