ANOTHER RUMORED COLLAPSE. Reported Failure of the Guardian Savings Bank. A Check for $70,000, Presented Yesterday, Refused Payment-The Bank in the Hands of the Public AdministratorStatement To Be Made To-Day. At late hour last evening it was rumored abroad that the Guardian Savings Bank, of which Boss Tweed IS President, had falled in a very heavy sum and been turned over to a receiver. A reporter was immediately despatched to see Mr. Ely, the Secretary of the company; but on proceeding to his restdence found that we was out of town and not expected to return home until this afternoon. BAFFLED in finding Mr. Ely, the reporter left his residence and went in search of a clerk whose name had been furnished, but who when found professed entire ignorance of the rumored failure. From thence he came on to Chatham street, where the bank is located, and discovered the officials of the bank busily engaged in overhauling affairs, and searching the books. On passing his card through the grating to a clerk, it was handed to one of the Financial Committee and a general AIR OF CONSTERNATION was plainly visible, it being evident that the gentlemen who were present had no idea that their secret was out, and already known to the public. A hurried consultation took place in the ofclce, during which the books were dropped, and the business which seemed so pressing suspended for the time. As the result of the conference the clerk stated that no information could be given on the state of the finances last night, as the officials were not certain how they would stand until a thorough examination of the books took place and the amount of the assets was ascertained, and, under the circumstances, the REPORTER COULD NOT COME IN. Some carriages were standing at the door, and a knot of people was beginning to gather, surprised at seeing such bustle around the bank at so ununsual an hour. The news soon leaked out that Tweed's bank had Durst, and a crowd was soon collected. the rumor spreading like wildfire, and the excitement became great, as the depositors mainly comprise the poorer classes, principally the Boss' own constituents. The wildest ramors were circulated, and from the conversation around it could be easily gathered that even among those who bad been his warmest friends all confidence in the Ring of the Tammany Ring was at an end, no further reliance being placed in any enterprise he is connected with. The names of the Executive Committee which adorn the doorplate are not of such a nature as to inspire them with any hope. They are O. W. Brennan, E. C. Wilbour, James H. Ingersoil, G. Putnam and T. Brennan. Some of the names are respectable enough, but the presence of the CELEBRATED CHAIRMAKER threw a gloom over tne people which the wellknown benevolence of the Boss falled to dispel. The particulars of the rumored failure are as follows:-About noon yesterday somebody presented a check for $70,000, which could not be honored, as there was not sufficient cash in the safe to meet so heavy a demand coming as it did, so unexpectedly. For the time the bank suspended payment, and it now remains to be seen whether the closure will be a permanent one or only a temporary embarrassment. Its nominal failure as above caused the bank to be placed in charge of A. J. Rogers, the Public Administrator. Subsequent information. furnished by a person who claims to possess an intimate knowledge of the workings of the bank. states that the affair IS A PUT UP JOB by political enemies of Mr. Tweed, who wish to innict a cruel stab upon him through one of his favorite institutions. He states that the bank has procured ample funds to meet the pressing requirements of the situation, and that to-day business will be resumed as usual, despite the effort that has been made to bring about a different denouement. How far this may be true cannot at this time be ascertained, but a few hours will certify to its correctness. In the meantime the best must be hoped for, though nothing can be definitely known until the books are thoroughly gone over; but the officials are said to be confident of their ability to weather the storm. Mr. Ety, whose name appears as Secrelary, has not been acting in that capacity for some time, a gentleman named Doudy serving in his place. The Boss. though taking a deep interest in the success or the bank, 18 not a heavy shareholder, his interest in the concern being slight.

The "Poor Boy of the Mohawk," His Banks and Police-A Captain of Detectives on Guard. THE REPORTS TO THE LEGISLATURE. Reports That Never Lie-Condition of the Manhattan, Guardian, National Savings, Bowling Green, Yorkville and Citizens' Banks. Figures and Facts for the People. Few calamities are fraught with more of truly pittable misery than the failure of a savings bank. Other financial concerns when they topple over usually content themselves with burying in their crumbled heaps of ruins LARGE SLICES OF THE PROPERTY of men whose colossal fortunes can easily with stand a considerable and sudden diminution, and whose means were probably accumulated by the misfortunes of a similar character which had previously overtaken their neighbors; but the closing of a savings bank's doors for the last time shuts out every ray of hope and happiness in this life from the hearts of 80 many poor and worthy fellow creatures who so richly deserve a better fortune that no man with human feelings and sympathies can stand the unmoved witness of such a spectacle. It brings before the mind's eye the exquisite agony of the industrious laborer who for many a long year has toiled in the winter's biting frost and under the blazing summer's sun. in humility and hard. ship and danger, and coined his sweat and blood and flesh into few precious dollars, that might save him from hunger and the aimshouse when his supple joints became stiff and his strong muscles weakened and his hair grew gray after a life of weary SUFFERING AND SELF-DENIAL, and who now suddenly awakes to find that his longcherished dreams-of an old age of comparative comfort and independence have changed into the dread reality of inevitable and hopeless beggary. Then think of the indescribable misery of the poor widow whose humble and untiring Industry with her washboard or her needle has enablea her to save little money, on which she depended to bring up her fatherless boy as a worthy and honest member of society, and to preserve her orphaned daughter from life of shame, and who now finds the fruits of her years of toll and patience and privation all withered and blasted in an hour. Only think of the thousands of cases of wretched. ness and suffering, which no pencil can pain: and no pen enumerate brought about by the collapse or one of those instituti ns which are allowed to exist only because they profess to be peculiarly the guardians and rewarders of the industrious poor. and If there be any sentiment in addition to pity for the victims, it is that no punishment can be too severe for the parties who wilfully abuse or negligently mismanage THE AFFAIRS OF SAVINGS BANK. The great excitement in the city caused by the announcement of the failure of several savings banks and the details thereof published in the HERALD on the two following days had duminished very little yesterday. Even among those who were not depostors the interest in the condition of the suspected banks was very intense, and groups of men who congregated under awnings and porchos for shelter from the falling rain discussed the affairs of the sav. ings banks with the safety and tardy arrival of the Grand Duke Alexis. What every speaker seemed to consider most remarkable was the fact that all THE THREATENED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS were connected in some nearer or more remote degree with the old Tammany Ring and acknowledged some one or other of its distinguished members as their managers and directors, and the name of WILLIAM M. TWEED was on every tongue. About two o'clock in the afternoon a large group of soaked and dripping citizens stood under an awning on the corner of Fulton street and Broadway, discussing the financial situa. ation, its causes and effects. "Well," said one gentleman, as he shook the rain from his umbrella, "there's sort of poetical justice in all this. Thousands of poor laborers in the city are ruined by the very men they always fought for and voted for and kept in power." "No, sir, no: that's a mistake," replied poor Irishman, who had just been denied admittance to one of the banks where his little savings were deposited: "that's all mistake, sir. 'Twasn't me that voted for 'em at all. nor tought for 'em, alther. 'Tisn't the poor, hard workin' min, that WORK FOR THEIR LIVIN' and save their little airnings for the childher, that do have anything to do with thim politicians one way or another. We did not put our money in their banks because they were Tammany politicians, but because we saw them looked after and associated with by gintlemin that houlds their heads the highest the city. The papers tould every day that they had plinty of property in all the ratlroads and banks of the country, in company with all the great people of the land, and, sure, we naturally thought they were safe enough to hould our little thrifes for us." "Could it be out of revenge for going back on them at the last election that they have done this thing now ." asked another. "I "Begor, may be so." said the Irishman. wouldn't put past thim.' as "I think, said German, "dey be's not so bad als. I b'leef Tweed has pull all his money out of dem banks and leave nothing any more, so dat he can GET AWAY VERY SOON. How much you lose P1-10 the Irishman. "Two hundhert an' forty-six dollars," answered Pat with sigh. "Ah, lose BIX hoondred dollar," and the German walked away sorrowfully. of It would be hard to estimate the amount wretchedness and misery caused by the failure of those banks: it never will and never can be known All the information that could be gleaned, however, by a sharp squad of reporters is here subjoined. The reporters of the HERALD were yesterday despatched in every direction to secure facts regarding the run upon the banks, and the result of their labors is given, as follows.

THE GUARDIAN SAVINGS BANK TO RESUME PAY MENTS IN A MONTH. Receiver Quinlan of the Guardian Savings Bank, says that the Bank is not yet able to pay i ts de positors, but as a large number of bonds and mortgages are owned by the bank, the officers are certain that with these and securities which the Trustees may advance, they will be able to resume payment by Feb. 1. Their liabilities are $530,000, nearly all of which they will pay, if possible, before the time specified: but there are many legal processes that will occupy considerable time, and many of the mortgages will have to be transferred from other banks. The Receiver further states that as there 18 no law constituting preferred creditors, he intends to pay all the smaller depositors in full. and give the others a dividend of 50 per cent. He says that depositors will not lose a dollar, as he intends to do all in his power to protect them.

SAVINGS BANK TROUBLES. CLAIMS AGAINST THE MARKET SAVINGS BANKA DEBTOR'S STORY. Eighty persons proved themselves creditors of the Market Savings Bank on Saturday, making an aggregate of 1,000 persous who have proved their claims in accordance with law. The election of an assignee will take place March 13, and a Commissioner in Bankruptcy will attend on Saturday next, to complete the proving of claims. The latest rumor about Conklin is that he is residing in Nevada, working some valuable silver mines when he purchased with the money alleged to be stolen by him from the Market Savings Bank. THE BOWLING-GREEN SAVINGS BANK ADJUDICATED A BANKRUPT. In the United States District Court, on Saturday, the matter of the Bowling-green Savings Bank came up on an order to show cause why it should not be adjudicated a bankrapt on the petition of Aaron May. Shepherd Knapp, the Receiver of the Bank, objected to the jurisdiction of the Court, on the ground that the Bank had been dissolved before the filing of the petition; that, therefore, there was no bank to be adjudicated a bankrupt in this case, and that, by the appointment of a Receiver, the state Court had obtained control UI the matters involved in the case. Judge Blatchford held that these objections had no force. The Bank was then called, and, no one answering. .in its behalf, it was adjudicated a bankrupt by default. SALE OF GUARDIAN SAVINGS BANK PROPERTY. The furniture and fixtures of the Guardian Savings Bank were sold by auction, on Saturday, for $812 37. The largest amount was obtained for a walnut partition in the outer office. which was knocked down at 8125. The large safe manufactured by J. McB. Davidson was not sold, as a communication was received by Mr. Quialan, the Receiver, from Controller Green, stating that the safe had been paid for by the city two years ago.

THE GUARDIAN SAVINGS BANK. REPORT OF THE REFEREE-AN ODD REGISTER JEREMIAH QUINLAN'S WORK. The report of Mr. William Abbott, referee in the case of the Guardian Savinga Bank, was filed yesterday in the office of the County Clerk. The report commences with a detail of why, when and how the referee was appointed and a statement of the extent of the inquiry made. Among the witnesses who were believed to have testified fully and presented all the documents required are Messrs. Jeremiah Quintan, Robert N. Innis, Waiter Roche and Isaac Dayton, Public Administrator. The points of chief interest to the public are those in which some irregularity is shown in the bookkeeping which marked the term of Mr. Jeremiah Quintan as receiver rather than of amounts lost to the depositors. A few of these will convey a fair idea of the whole, for it is not claimed that there has been any very serious loss to the depositors through the irregularities noted. The corrections to the report as furnished by Mr. Quinian, are indicated by the statement to have been correct, otherwise than in the following instances:First-The account furnished, instead of charging the receiver, Quinlan, with having received, on January 5, 1875, $1,988 27 by note of P. C. Ingersoll, &c., should have charged him with receiving said sum December 2, 1871. Second-The account charges him with having received, on January 9, 1875, $1,512 74 on note of A. S. Teffell, &c., whereas it should charge him with receiving the sum on December 8, 1871. Third-Instead of charging him with having received, January 9, 1875, $1,404 02, being a note of E. McClellan &c., it should have reported the same as having been received December 12, 1871. Fourth-The accounts represent that on January 9, 1875, he received $2,369 14, being note of A. W. Chapin, whereas the sum named was received January 9, 1871. Fifth-The books represent $3,613 09 as being received by note of William K. Hall, January 9, 1875, which was 111 fact paid December 11, 1871. Sixth-That instead of entering that $8,514 92, bond and mortgage, with interest, George Breaker, on March 31, 1875, it should have been entered $7,081, on February 27, 1872 Seventh-March 31, 1875, is given as the date on which $4,209 13, bond and mortgage of M. Mahony, with interest, which was received March 22, 1874. Eighth-That the books, instead of noting that on April 10, 1874, $14,621 37, a balance of land and mortgage of Jacob Pecare and Enoch, and of Selmes to Morris, should charge him as having received, April 10, 1873, $14.605 61, making an overcharge of $15 76. Ninth-Instead of charging himself with having received, January 9, 1875, $810 37, sales of furniture, &c., he should have charged the same as having been recelved February 28, 1872. Tenth-Instead of crediting the receiver with paying, April 22, 1872, $396 94, interest on bond and mortgage of M. Fitzsimmons and James and F. Schaffer, he should have credited him with nothing, said payment never having been made. Eteventh-Fitteen payments are entered to James R. for services, amounting to $1,249 95. It should have been to the extent of 1,249 95. Twelfth-The receiver is credited with having paid, March 31, 1875, to P. J. 'Donahue, receiver, as tees, $5,000, when he should not have credited him with anything. Thirteenth-The account should credit the receiver with having paid Isaac Dayton, as Public Administrator, in part payment of indebtedness of G. Savins, to him as such officer, August 11, 1873, $4,000; March 10, 1874, $3,000; June 16, 1874, $10,000; September 22, 1874, $15,000. In all, $32,500. It is found that the payments were made by checks, dated on or about the dates named, on the National Trust Company, signed by Jeremiah Quinian, receiver, No. 2; and that all were payable to I. Dayton, except one, which was made payable to Jos. Reilly, clerk of the receiver, and by him indorsed to the Public Administrator, It 18 found also that the fund in the National Trust Company, with some exceptions, was received by Mr. Quinian, as one of the trustees to Waiter Roche, and deposited by him in the trust company as receiver No. 2. It is further found that the remainder of all assets in the inventory has been transferred by Quinlah to O'Donohue, the present receiver, showing a clear cash balance of $13,236 51. Schedule B shows the total amount of receipts to have been $326,191 20 and the total of payments as $313,954 69. The amount paid, including interest, &c., in various ways, is shown to have been $401, 707 50, and the amount of releases, $313,954 69, leaving a cash balance of $13,236 51 to be paid by said Quinian.

retary of War Major R. N. Batchelder, quar- termaster, has been ordered to report to the quartermaster general for duty. Major H. B. Burnham, judge advocate, U. S. A., has been granted three months' leave of absence, with permission to go beyond the sea. ### "A COOL PROPOSITION." Under this head the New York Times prints a special which says: Much to the surprise of the War de- partment officials, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has presented a claim for payment for transporting United States troops from Washington to different points along its line to protect the road from the strikers. This seems a little like imperti- nence. Without the aid of the troops the railroad company would have been com- pletely at the mercy of the strikers, for the militia were of no service whatever, and in some cases expressed their sympathy for the rioters in an unmistakable manner. If the military had been sent over the road to pro- tect private or public property, the case would have been different; but no property required protection except that belonging to the railroad company. During the war of the rebellion many precedents were estab- lished under which this claim could be paid, but it is stated at the War department that there was an understanding when the troops were sent that the railroad companies should furnish transportation. If this is the case the matter will probably go to the courts for settlement. No railroad but the Baltimore and Chio has yet presented its bill. and at the Cabinet meeting to-day, when this mat- ter was brought up, it was decided that no action should be taken until all the other railroads should be heard from, when it will be submitted to the Attorney General for an opinion. ### SERENADE TO SENATOR CONKLING His Compriment to Gen. Grant. Senator Conkling, of New York, who returned yesterday from a brief trip to England, as stated in last eve- ning's STAR, was received at Hoboken with speeches, cannon firing and other noisy wel- come. In the evening he had a reception and serenade at the Fifth Avenue hotel. After returning thanks for the cordiality of his re- ception, he said he came back a stronger, if not a better, American than he went away. He never before was so proud of his country or so content with his countrymen as now that he had the opportunities of comparing them with other countries and people. Great Britain had the accumulated results of gen- erations. She had had eight centuries of Par- liaments, power and wealth, but in civiliza- tion, liberty, progress, general intelligence and promise of the future, America need not shrink. He spoke of Paris, its art treasures and monumen's, and paid a tribute to the magnanimity of the Germans, who left them untouched when they had the city in their power. Of Gen. Grant he said that wherever he goes, honors wait upon him, but they do not seem to wean him from things at home. He may remain long abroad, but when he returns you are likely to find that all the dis- tinctions poured upon him have not washed out a jot of his Americanism or made him anything save the same upright, downright republican without cant or palaver. ### POLITICAL CONVENTIONS Calls have been issued for national and state political conventions and conferences as follows: Tuesday, August 14, Maine democratic, in Portland; Wednesday. August 15, New York prohibitionist, in Utica; Wednesday, Aug. 22, Pennsylvania democratic, in Harrisburg; Thursday, August 23, New York greenback, in Rochester; Wednesday, August 29, Iowa democratic, in Marshalltown; Wednesday, September 5. Pennsylvania republican, in Harrisburg; Tuesday, September 11, Wiscon- sin republican, in Madison; Wednesday, September 12, Massachusetts prohibitionist, in Worcester; Pennsylvania prohibitionist, in Harrisburg; Thursday, September 13, Massachusetts democratic, in Worcester; Wednesday, September 19, Massachusetts republican, in Worcester; Thursday, Sept. 20, Maryland republican. in Baltimore; Wed- nesday, September 26, National convention of representative colored men, in Washing- ton; National Conference of prohibitionists at Perry-street M E church, New York city. ### CHANGE OF ADMINISTRATION IN CUBA Lieutenant General Luis Prendergast, chief of staff of the Spanish army in Cuba, has ar- rived in Havana, and a dispatch from that city says: Taking his arrival in connection with that of Martinez Campos, the rumored change of administration of the island is ap- parently well founded General Jovellar in- augurated his administration by laying open the shameless frauds committed by the army purveyors and imprisoning defaulters, implicating thereby indirectly ex-Captain General Valmaseda and others. The efforts of General Jovellar were in vain. The per- emptory orders of Spain obliged him to re- lease the defaulters and army swindlers. General Jovellar's honor almost obliges him to resign. If he resigns it is supposed that Lieutenant General Prendergast will replace him temporarily. ### GEN. FIELD of Fredericksburg, Va., has recently returned home from Egypt, where he held a high position in the army of the Khedive. His withdrawal from that army grew out of the Turko-Russian complica- tions, in which Egypt, through her vassal- age to the Sultan, has been forced to take part. The American officer could not con- scientiously take the field for the Crescent against the Caoss, and so resigned. In fact, it is stated that about all the American offi- cers in the Khedive's service have been got- ten rid of in one way or another. ### FAILURES IN PHILADELPHIA are an- nounced as follows: Newhouse & Rousenan, wholesale clothiers, have failed, but no state- ment has been made of their assets and liabilities. They have two judgments against them for $15,000 and one for $10,000. M. Rosenbach & Co, shirt manufacturers, have suspended and are reported to have indorsed about $18,000 of paper for a broken clothing house. John Clayham, fish and provision dealer, has suspended. He pro- poses to pay 50 per cent. ### A RECEIVER WHO RECEIVED FOR HIMSELF J. T. McGowan, receiver of the Guar- dian Savings Bank, in New York, has ob- tained leave from Judge Van Brunt to sue J. J. O'Donohue, a former receiver, for $24,000, part of money misappropriated by J. Quinlan, who was first receiver of the bank, and also to sue Jos. Reilly, a brother- in-law to O'Donahue and cierk to Quinlan, for $13,000 misappropriated by Quinlan. O'Donahue was Quinian's surety and also his successor in the receivership. REV. AUGUSTINE F. HEWIT, of the order of the Paulists, is now superior of the order and editor of the Catholic World, Father Heck- er's ill health having compelled him to seek release from his duties. Dr. Hewit is an LL. D., his degree having been recently con- ferred by Harvard, which thus supplies the first instance of an American university founded by Protestant sectarians so honor- ing an eminent divine of the Roman Catholic church. ### THE ANNUAL CONVENTION of United States bankers will be held at New York on the 12th, 13th, and 14th of September; 6,152 banks will be represented, of which 2,082 are national banks, 875 state banks, 2,524 private banks, and 671 savings institutions. The convention will take such measures as are necessary to remove the oppressive restric- tions that are said to have recently crippled

Foundation was laid in the Assembly yesterday for much important legislation. At the head, in point of desirability, should be placed the proposition to reduce the salaries of officials in New York city. Men who are paid $12,000 or over. a year, are, under the proposed act, to receive thirty per cent. less. Eight thousand dollar salaries are to be reduced one-fourth. five thousand dollar ones one-fifth. and three thousand dollar ones an eighth. The bill prohibitingthe convict labor contract system. which for several sessions has been unsuccessfully before the Legislature, made its appearance again. A Brooklyn member wants a law prohibiting the construction of an elevated railroad in Fulton street, Brooklyn, and a New York Assemblyman desires the Legislature to prohibit the building of the Manhattan Company's Elevated road in Division street and in Second avenue. Mr. BOGAN'S resolution relative to the Bowling Green and the Guardian Savings Bank calls for an accounting of receivers' dividends. and the details of the winding up of the institutions.
