THE BROKEN sTUYYESANr.
Facts from which the Depositors will Draw
their Own differences.

"would you be kind enough" writes
A representative OF 100 victims" to direct the
rays OF The Sun upon the almost forgotten
Stuyvesant Bank, whose receiver seems to be
asleepf Nothing has been done since the col
lapse OF the bank in 1871, by the mismanagers,
toward settling up the accounts. Though the
receiver, Mr.. John II. Plat. ha. enough money
to pay to the creditorss dividend Of ten per
cent, he has done nothing"
Mr.. c. W. c. Dreher, Secretary OF the Co
operative Building Lot Association, which lost
rs 900 by the failure Of the bank, says that the
first official act OF Mr. Archer. the first receiver
Of the bank, was to retain sherman, Field & Co.
with a retaining fee OF 10000, although the in
yestigating committee, OF which he. Mr.. Dreher
was member, vigorously protested against that
action. Then Archer retained Van Orden, the
former cashier Of the bank, to assist In looking
over accounts, although IL was well known that
Van Orden was not to be trusted with that task.
Mr. Archer was receiver for one year, and then
Mr.. Platt took his place, and since that nothing
had been done. About six months ago Mr..
Plat said, according to Mr.. Dreher, that he
could paw dividend OF ten per cent. But IL
has not been paid.
Mr.. Plat said yesterday that he never told
anybody that the assets would realize 10 per
cent. They were about the most worthless set
Of securities he ever saw, and he doubted much
whether they would yield 10 per cent. ~ have
not paid the dividend" said he, "becauso have
been at litigation with MIR. Archer, my prede-
cessor, in regard to his accounts. suits are
pending In tue Circuit Court, and when get A

DIR. AND MRS. FLINT.
Edwards Pierrepout's spiritual Adviser SIN
In Ludlow street Jail.

The Flint divorce case was before the
Supreme Court at Chambers yesterday on the
motion for an attachment against tho Doctor
for contempt In not appearing pursuant to the
Courts order. Mrs. Fiints lawyer applied for
postponement on the ground that he bad not
had time to pre- pare an answer TO the defend
ants affidayits. DIR. Fiuts lawyer raised a
technical objection, hut the Court intimated
that the case could not be disposed OF upon a
mere teehnicaty. Mrs. Flint's lawyer said that
tue atfidavits for the defendant were not served
upon him until Wednesday, and II had proved to
he necessary to take the afiidayits Of clerks in
the Post once TO dsprove DIR. Fhnts plea OF
poverty by showing that he recently received
eleven letters from persons who wished him to
send them answers from the spirit world.
Counsel supposed that the Doctor would have
no difficulty In Invoking the aid OF the teapot
that was taken away from him, or OF some other
teapot, to continue his business In jail. Coun-
sci SAID, moreover, that medical man would
examine the Doctor to-day and determine
whether he really has disease OF the heart. The
Doctors LAWYER held that the receipt Of regis
tered letters IL no proof that they contained
money; and that at all events he had received
no evidence OF the receipt OF money. because
tho Doctor had not paid him a dollar for his
services Under the circumstances he thought
there should be No further delay in permitting
the Doctor to purge himsslf OF contempt. The
Court granted the lawyer until Thursday next
TO prepare his aflduvits.

The Work TO 60 on at Once.
Chief Justice johnson OF the United
States Circuit Court yesterday nled a decision
on the application Of Abraham X. Miller for an
injunction upon the Mayors OF the cities OF New
York and Brooklyn, and the Trustees OF the East
River Bridge Company.
The Judge says that the inquiry 10 whether. by
the Constitution OF laws OF the United States,
the bridge in question will be public nuisance
and specially injurious TO the plaintin. The Con-
gress has Iegfsiated directly uDon this su o. ect
and has referred In the law TO the previous leeis-
iation OF New York.
took up the subject OF the effect Of the bridge
upon navigation, where II was left by the law OF
New York, and introduces positive provisions
on tue subject. Instead Of the merely relative
provisions OF the State.
The decision then continued In chronological
order the Laws 81 the state , and q tie Salted
aud said tuat all the cases In the Supreme Court
Of the United states, auth ortatively decided:
hold that the laws OF Congress IN regulation oil
commerce are paramount.
In addition TO this, Il results that the deter
with navigation by distractions thereto is con-
elusive, and this power OF Congress IL at all
tunes capable OF exercise. TIT should turn out
that the judgment OF Congress was mistaken,
and that navigation was injudiciously affected,
II could require the bridge 10 be altered or re-
moved
The decision then considered II the authority
OF the act OF Congress had been pursued. II IL
not urged by the plaintiff that there has been
any departure In the actual construction OF the
bridge from the plans and conditions imposed
by tue Secretary of War, nor that any Is In
tended: and therefore Judge johnson said
III l am right IN the position maintained, the
plalntn Is not entitled TO the writ OF injunction
which he asks from this court"
Judge johnson is also OF opinion that the act
OF May II, 1878. OF the laws OF New York, gives
further assent to the construction Of the bridge,
II that is considered necessary. by this act the
bridge, In its entirety, became public work.
and received the sanction Of the State of New
YORK. and no indictment against the two cities
could have been supported In the State courts.
The motion for the injunction Is denied.
The work OF stretching the wires for the ten
porary foot bridge will be begun at once.
