3^'~'/ HOW NEW YORK IS GOVERNED
FRAUDS OF THE
[ New York Times Edition. ]
INTRODUCTORY.
THE list of warrants which we publish below, fall exclusively under the head of New York County
Expenditures. The boundaries of the City and County are identical —comprehending in each case the entire extent of Manhattan Island-their taxation falls upon the same people, and their chief representative
boards-the Aldermen and Supervisors-are composed of precisely the same men.  The division which was
first effected for administrative convenience has been continued, in order to afford greater facilities fbr
fraud.
The system of keeping accounts followed in both City and County bureaux is intentionally complex.
In each bureau there are two separate sets of accounts-one of warrants drawn on account of appropria  tions, and one of warrants drawn on account of what is called "special account."  The warrants drawn on
special account are not paid out of any appropriation, but out of a fund raised by the issue of stocks and
bonds. The subjoined warrants contained in Section I., and drawn on account of the Court house and
Armories, can be charged under at least six different heads. The usual mode of procedure with certain
accounts, is to draw a sufficient number of warrants to exhaust the appropriations in a few days, and then to
draw on "special account," as occasion requires.
During the years 1869, 1870, and part of 1871, in which, according to the" Ring's" own ackndwledgn
ment, the sum of about $8,223,979.89 was expended on the New Court-House, the legislative appropria.
tion for this purpose amounted to only $1,400,000.  From 1858 to 1868 te   isare           riad the Lesislamtrea p edt s
Of& $4,500,000m for building the Court-house, and in 1871 a further appropriation was made of $750,000. 
It will thus be readily understood th the assert time $Ov5, the                       Democratic represent
ative of the IVth Congressional District, that the New Court-house had already cost $12,000,000, is rather
under than over the mark.  The building is still incomplete.
In the neighfboring County of Kings there was built, between the fall of 1861 and 1865, when work and
materials were at their highest, a court-house whichcovers within one-sisth of the area occupied by that of
New York.  The structure is of marble, brick, and iron, and the internal furnishing is inHmost respects
equal to and in many superior to thats of the ne   Yrk Court-hued the orinacos of    buildi ingd.
Brooklyn was $551,758.28, and its cost up to the present time $745,601.54. The cost up to the present
time of the unfinished New York Coour       se would  therefore, be sufficient to build and maintain, during
six years, s8t7Tee such court-houses as that of Brooklyn.
The warrants which we now present are arranged under  three separate sections.  The first includes
payments made to certain v  f       irms on account of work and materials funhe  or said to have been
furnished, to the County Buildings and Offices, and to the Armories of the National (}ward. We shall direct
attention to such of these totals as are obviously and grossly fraudulent. Under the second section will be
found the list of warrants paid for Stationery, Printing, and the total paid for Advertising. How closely
leading members of the Ring are identified with these transactions will be fully explained.
Sec. III. contains the list of warrants drawn on account of a quarter's rent of Armories and Drill-rooms
on April 29, 1871. These payments will illulstrate how false is the Ring plea that the " new regime " inaugu
rated a more'economical sytem than that which prevailed under -the old Board of Supervisors. It will be seen
froi this statement that every fraudulent lease made under the auspices of the old Boardl has been adopted
by the men now at the head of affairs, and that they have added a good many more on their own account.
The warrants contained in Sections II. and Ill. are copied literally from the mass of County accounts
sent by the Mayor and (Controller to the Board of Sulpervisors, at their meeting of Wednesday, August 23,

with the exception of INGERSOLL'S GARVEY'S,and KEYSER's warrants. Tlose contained under Section I. have
been copied in like mannler. With regard to the payments made to these three firms, we have adhered tq
the amounts originally given by us, and wl-hich were carefully transcribed from the Controller's books.  As
these have been, almost without exception, fully verified by a comparison with' the accounts now in possession
of the Supervisors, the perfect correctness of the entire list is beyond any question.  Its accuracy has never
been disputed even by those it most directly inculpates, and since the production of the accounts for the
action of the joint-committee of Aldermen and Supervisors, it stands substantially as an installment of the
Ring's own confession.
The single defence advanced by HALL and CONNOLLY for having signed warrants which, on their very
face, were fraudulent in amount, is that they did it in a "ministerial" capacity.  The pretext has proved
too flimsy to deceive anybody.  It is in opposition to the plain letter of law, as well as to the most obvious
dictates of common sense, and no time need be wasted in answering it.
The attempt made to cast the main portion of the odium attaching to the issue of these warrants upon
the old Board of Supervisors, has been equally unsuccessful. Many of the obligations which they represent
were contracted after the old Board had ceased to exist, at the end of 1869. In regard to many that were
contracted before that time, it has been shown that they were approved by the interimr Boird of Audit,
which came between the abolition of the old and the opening of the new regime, and which was composed 
of TWEED, CONNOLLY, and HALL.  In a letter of August 19, addressed by JoHN FOLEY to Mayor HALL;
it is stated that, at a single sitting, the Board audited and allowed claims against the County to
the amount of $6,312,541.37.
The following details of County expenditures leave untouched a large amount of other payments of a
fraudulent character. They do not include, for example, the pay-rolls of the various departments which
abound with names of men who are either dummies for members of the Ring or who draw salaries for
duties which they do not perform. In the City branch of our local administration the departments are
much more numerous, and the opportunities for fraud are consequently much more extensive. The City
accounts have, up to the present time, been kept studiously secret.
It is a very significant face that, on the eve of our investigation into the warrants hereinafter detailed,
the vouchers (i.e., the detailed accounts of the various tradesmen) were alleged to have been stolen from
the Controller's office. This trick, however, was immediately seen through by the public.
SECTION I.
ACCOUNTS FOR COURT-HOUSE AND ARMORIES.
INGERSOLL & CO.
The "Co." of this concern is understood to be the Tammany  Ring.  JAMES H. INGERSOLL, who endorses the warrants of his own firm, and those of so many other real and imaginary firms, is the son of
LouIS INGERSOLL, of 71 Bowery. TWEED is said to have worked, in younger days, for the elder INGERSOLL,
at the trade of chair-making, and to have been assisted by him with monrey in running for State Senator.
The younger INGERSOLL, besides running the furniture business, acts as TWEED'S agent in contracting
fraudulent leases of the City Armories, and in manipulating various other jobs for behoof of himself, his
partner, and other members of the Ring.
The sub-firms, through whom INGERSO)LL continues to swell his extraordinary accounts, are, as will be
seen by a glance at the subjoined warrants, pretty numerous. Apparently the most fortunate of these is
GEORGE S. MILLER, the carpenter, whose place of business is situated at No. 305 East Fifth street. In a
building constructed as the Court-house is, of marble and iron, it is surprising to find the amount of carpenter-work which has been needed, Mr. Miller's establishment is not very large, but his bills are enormous. During the month of June, 1870, for example, this lucky carpenter succeeded in drawing from the
County Treasury the sum of $360,751.61. This, it will be seen, is accompanied by large payments during 
other months of the year.
J. A. SMITA appears to be INGERSOLL'S carpet and shade dealer.  During 1869 there was drawn under
his name, checks to the amount of $242,644.93, and during 1870, to the amount of $511,685.78.  A man
whlo draws from the County'I'reasury something over three quarters of a million of dollars in two years,
ought, one would suppose, to be pretty well known in the trade. Strange to say, Mr. J. A. Smith is perfectly unknown to the carpet trade of New York.  After a persevering search. it was discovered that a
certain" Andrew J." SMrril had some connection with Mr. ALFRED HEADDEN'S curtain and shade store at the
corner of Suffolk and Grand streets. Mr. HEADDEN stated that "A. J." SMITH, who was found to be invariably" out of town,"' was his brother-in-law; that they had no business connection, and that Mr. SMITH
made the store his headquarters for transacting business about whose details he, Mr. Ieadden, knew
nothing. 
3
C. B. BoLLAR & Co. appear to be known to the City Directory and to the trade as BOLLER & Co They
are furniture manufacturers, and occupy three large stores situated respectively at 116 Wooster street, 32
East Fourteenth street, and at the corner of Avenue A and East Twentieth street. Between May 12, 1869,
and August 1, 1870, this firm drew, under the endorsement of INGERSOLL & Co. checks to the amount of
$916,124.97. The work which these represent is stated to have been done between August. 1868, and May,
1870.  Mr. BOLLER, the nominal head of this large concern, was found living in a small house, amid mean
surroundin's, at 131 Thompson street. Mr. BOLLER acknowledged to have done work for the city, but as to
its nature or extent, he declined giving any information, referring the inquirer to Mr. INGERSOLL or Mr.
CONNOLLY, who, he stated, "knew all about it."
During 1869 and 1870, there was extracted from the County Treasury the sum of $554,644.31 in the
name of A. G. MILLER;'Ihe most diligent research has failed to discover any such individual in any public
business whatever. In common with the Armory for which INGERSOLL draws rent, he must therefore be
set down as a creation of the active brain of TWEED'S great wire-puller.
We now append INGERSOLL'S account:

ANDREW J. GARVEY.
ANDREW J. GARVEY, to whom the Court-house and the Armories have proved a perfect mine of
wealth, rose, like his master TWEED, from humble beginnings.  He was a "bunker" of the old fire department, and in the intervals of that exciting occupation, he did a little work for a brother in the plastering
trade. Since he was taken up by the Ring, GARVEY has waxed rich and prosperous, and almost rivals the
"Boss" himself in the palatial splendor of his mansion in Connecticut.
R. J. HENNESSY who appears to have aided GARVEY in his great plastering jobs, defies all attempts at
discovery. He is utterly unknown to the trade. Mr. " J. R." HENNESSY wrote on July 25th, to the TIMEs,
stating that he had been for some time in GARVEY' s employment, and had been for a brief space prominent
in ward politics. But that he ever received a dollar from the city, either in his own name or GARVEY'S, he
explicitly denied. R. J. HENNESSY must, therefore, be set down as a myth, in spite of the very substantial
sam of $62,488.18 which appears against his name on the County Record.
T. C. C'-SHMAN has no existence in the pages of the City Directory or in any known business.  He may
be one of GARvEY'S workmen, or he may, like HENNESSY, be merely a" double" of the Prince of Plasterers.
In any case, his name was made a pretext for paying away $64,090.49.
Fillippo Donnarumma, whose checks are in one case indorsed with the suggestive title of "Phillip  F.
Dummey," and in the other case with that of" Fillip Dummin," is the name of an Italian fresco-painter on
Third avenue, near 10th street.  That the name has been used mainly as a blind for obtaining money is
extremely probable. The following are the amounts drawn by Garvey:

KEYSER & 00.
Jot'l M. KEYSER is the only known member of the firm.  The "Co." is supposed to represent TWEED.
The "Boss" frequently visits the stores of the firm in company with GARVEvY, and a number of men are em
ployed in the establishment who have no pretensions to be workmen but are retained because TWEED wills it.
Keyser's plumbing business, however, is carried on at Ninth street, corner of Fourth avenue, and at 211 Water
street he has a place devoted to the sale of stoves.  Before obtaining corporation work Mr. KEYSER failed
several times in business, but he is now wealthy, and supports, at his own expense, an hospital and several
other charities. The New York Tribune, when our exposure first appeared, intimated pretty decidedly
that it had confidence in Mr Keyser, and believed that he could supply an answer to the charge brougiht
against him. But Mr. Keyser has been silent, and has apparently rested in perfect content under the im
putations which the following accounts throw upon his character:

J. MCBRIDE DAVIDSON.
J. McBRIDE DAVIDSON is a manufacturer of engines at Albany.  The safes for which  he appears to
have been so liberally paid, do not receive the patronage of our leading bankers and merchants, as they are
not fire-proof nor burglar-proof to the same degree as those best known in the trade. The New York showrooms of Mr. Davidson are in one of Tweed's stores on Duane street.

J. W. SMITH.
JAMES W. SMITH is a remarkable man. He manufactures awnings, in a very unpretentious establishment, on the corner of Bleecker street and Broadway. Like KEYSER, corporation work has been the making
of him, the patronage of TWEED having raised him from abject poverty to be the owner of horses and carriages. He is the only one of the Ring tradesmen who had the courage to defend his account. Awnings,
such as he supplied to the Court-House, would yield a handsome profit at $12.50 each. SMITH says he got
$150 each for his, and thinks he was not overpaid. Even at this exorbitant rate, 318 awnings could be fur
nished for the sum of $41,746, and, at the extreme trade price, the enormous quantity of 3,819 awnings
could be furnished for this sum.

GREGG & CO.
Mr. ROBERT G. GREGG, the principal of the firm, is a gentleman of refreshing candor. He has supplied
the city with carpeting for some time, and appears to receive his orders from the Department of Public
Works (Mr. TWEED).  His accounts have sometimes been as large as $200,000 and $300,000.  As he appears
on the County records only for the sum of $47,010.52, his later work, like his orders, must belong to the City
branch of local administration. Whether the fact of the orders emanating from Mr. TWEED has any connection with the splendid carpets of the Metropolitan Hotel, cannot be exactly determined. In July last, Mr.
GREGG was supplying carpets" right along "at the rate, he said, of $20,000 to $30,000 worth per month. Mr,
GREGG describes his rival in the corporation business-J. A. SMIT1H —-as a "new man."  He was also very
solicitous to have it understood that carpets in public offices wear out very quickly, and that the New
York Bench has a very capricious taste on the subject of carpets-the judges requiring frequent change of pattern, of which their eyes become weary.  It may be remembered, however, that Judge BARN.'RD stated in
granting the injunction against the Mayor and Controller, that his room never had carpet at all.

ALONZO W. MARSH.
ALONZO W. MARSH appears to be a myth. There is no such man in the business; but there is a
CALEB P. MARSH, one of the firm of HERTER BROTHERS, a leading furniture house.  HERTER  BROTHERS
have never supplied anything to Tammany, and they have no desire to do so.  Mr. MAJISH believes that
the name is entirely fictitious, and has been chosen with a view to deceive persons who might glance at the
accounts, and, seeing the name of MARSH, would take it for granted that it was a genuine transaction with
]:IERTER BROTHERS.

NOTES AND  ILLUSTRATIONS.
THE following explanations may be found of service in showing the full significance of the figures
which we have tabulated as above. The eight millions of dollars paid on account of the New Court-house
represent but a portion of the sums actually expended or due under this head. Previous to 1869 large sums
were paid out for its construction, and subsequent to the date of the most recent of these warrants, payments have been made by the Commissioners lately appointed to complete the building. Sundry old claims
for work and material furnished for this marvellous erection have been refused payment by the Controller..
Among these is that of J. B. & W. W. CORNELL, for which they lately obtained a peremptory mandamus on
Controller CONNOLLY. 
14
The Court-house is built chiefly of stone and iron, and very little wood-work has been required in the
construction. Such wooden fittings as there are in the interior of the building are of black walnut, but
the workmanship is commonplace, and the general plainness of design gives a shabby effect to the whole.
The eye of a practical carpenter would fail to detect over $30,000 worth of work in the entire structure.
Nevertheless these warrants show that in the course of a little over two years there have been spent the
enormous sum of $',[t89,690.95 for carpenter-work and " repairs" of the same.  The startling amounts
paid out for "repairing" the work on a new building are, it need hardly be said, not the least mysterious
feature of these accounts.
After the most liberal allowance has been made for carDenter-work, performed under obvious difficulties,
we are confronted with the appalling charge of $1,575,782.96 for "Furniture."  It is taking a very indulgent view of the case to suppose that it is only $1,500,000 too much.
Thle "'Carpets, Shades, and Curtains" form an item capable of being approximately tested.  The careful
estimate of an eminent firm engaged in the carpet business, of what would actually be required to cover
the floors very handsomely is $13,357.15. Add to this $3,0" 0 for shades and cornices-curtains, there are none
— and we find that in this item the tax-payers have been swindled out of $658,977.29. It must be remembered that even this estimate is greatly in advance of what the actual cost of the carpets must have been.
This assumes that the rooms are fully carpeted, while the fact is that one of the largest rooms, that occupied by the Bureau of Arrears of Taxes, has no covering whatever on its floor. The County Clerk's office,
Sheriff's office, and office of the Surrogate are not carpeted, but are covered with oil-cloth and matting, with
the exception of the small private offices.  Few of the other offices or court-rooms are carpeted throughout.
It is an astounding fact that upwards of ha'f a million dollars should have been spent in plastering a
building whose interior consists largely of iron. It is still more astounding that, in addition to this,
$873,525.15 should have been spent in reparing this same plaster-work.   But perhaps the most amazing
fact of all is, that in spite of this stupendous outlay, the plastering is of the commonest description, and
is at present peeled and blotched in the lower halls and elsewhere, and is almost uniformly dirty throughout.
The work which has cost a little over one million four hundred thousand dollars would have been dear at
$30,000.
SECTION II.
PRINTING, STATIONERY, AND ADVERTISING ACCOUNTS.
It will be observed that nearly three-fourths'of the the grossly exorboitant expenditures, detailed below,
have gone into the pockets of the New York Printing Company, the Manufacturing Stationers' Company,
and the Transcript Association  It is pretty generally understood that these are but aliases of the omniverous Tweed and one or two of his associates. In spite of the hocus-pocus of selling out which, according
to the affidavit of CHAItLES E. WILBOUR, terminated TWEED'S partnership in the two former concerns, the
public has not been credulous enough to believe that these firms have been patronized on their own merits.
CHARLES E. WrILBOUR officiates as President both of the Printing Company and the Stationers' Company,
and CORNELIUS CORSON fills the position of Secretary in both. WILBOUR also acts as editor of the Trans8cript,
which, as legal organ of the corporation, receives payments for advertising; of which the sun' given below
($127,7d5.76), is a mere fraction.  The paper is a miserable littlesheet whose circulation certainly does  not
exceed 500 copies, and whose only constant readers are its proof-readers. The two individuals above named
have risen, unider the patronage of TWEED, from the rank of second-rate reporters on New York journals
to positions of wealth and influence.  Each of them draws, in addition to their business emoluments,  the
salaries of some half-dozen sinecurcs on both City and County Pay-Rolls amounting to at least $18,000 a
year in both cases. Sundry Clerks of the New York Printing Company likewise draw large annual salaries
from the City and County for a few weeks' work about election time.

NYTIICAL ARMORY.
No. 25 is a payment which the firm of INGERSOLL & WATSON have drawn for an indefinite period for
an Armory which never had any existence save in their own imagination. At the designated number, 53
Clirystie street, no trace can be found of any rooms which have ever been used for military purposes.  The
building is in a wretched neighborhood in the rear of IN(GERSOLL & WATSON'S store, 71 Bowery, and every
floor was occupied up to the 1st of May for various business purposes. This imaginary Armory costs
$5,000 a year I
NEW LEASED.
No. 24, one of the latest Armory investments of the Ring, Is not included in the above.  The premises
in question include the two upper floors of BRa's Minstrtel Building on Twenty-third street.  They

are utterly unfit even for a company, the lower one being broken up and divided by a series of iron
stanchions, and the upper resembling a rudely constructed platform rather than a loft. Neither floor has
either door or partition separating it from the stairs. For this receptacle of dust and cobwebs the City
will pay from May 1, 1871, the sum of $7,500 a year.
A building is now in course of erection on the south side of Twenty-third street, between Eighth and
Ninth avenues, the upper part of which, when finished, is to be divided into Armories.  The Eighth  Regiment has already been promised an Armory in the building, and it has been stated on good authority, and
without contradiction, that the rent has been running since May 1. The entire rent to be paid for the
premises will not be less, it is believed, than $75,000 a year!
