AN INSPECTOR SURRENDERS HIMSELF. Tho action of District Attorney S. D. Morris In caoslng the arrest 01' the Inspectors of Klection, in the dissncts where H whs alleged frauds had i>een committed, was the occasion of considerable coin meut In and abont the Brooklyn City Hall yester day. some were uncharitable enough to attribute the action of the Attorney to an effort to train a popularity, and Ingratiate himself in the favor of those who are makwir every exertion to Dnrify the ballot box. The majority, however, assert that be has only done his duty in the matter, and was not ted to take this action irom any other motive than that of bringing the guilty parties to Justice. If through his insirmnetttaiHy ihe parties are con victed and panisned be will, of course, rooeive the tbaufcs of all right -minded men In the community. JUUUK (IIIJIKKT'S DECISION. The opinions in revar.l to the decision of Judge Gilbert are varied, 'l'nose who are lamiliar with toe law assert thni the J udKe could not nave deemed otherwise, while the iriends ol the republican can didates, who were anxious lo h.ive the returns thrown out, say that it would have been proper and Just on his part to have grained the inaudauius ap plied for. It was generally conceded, however, that the duty of the canvassers wan to canvass the votes, and when they were in doubt as to die correctness of the returns to either send them bacit or send for the inspectors.

Tho Committee on Protests of the Board of County Canvassers met again at eleven o'cleofc vesterday. Alilermau Plunkltt in tiie etiair. Tlio Kllian-Frcar case was first taken up. Mr. Plunkltt said that in order to complete the canvass within tlio ten days allowed t?y law no witnesses could be examined. There would be a largo number of wltnosses exam ined, and tlio Board Had dcclded tint counsel mint Milium affidavits, so tliat the canvass might bo completed within the ten days widen the law re quired. Mr. Lapaugh, counsel for Kilian, wanted to have witnesses examined; lie believed aitldavits were being made to defeat the ends of justice. Mr. Waterbury, counsel for Frear, said the can vassers must canvass the returns as sent in to this Board. Mr. Lapamth insisted that the committee should take evidence by witnesses and not by affidavits. There would not be many witnesses introduced upon bis part lor his client; the other side might have manv. He recited the case of Twoinbly vs. Carey, last year, whore witnesses were introduced and their evidence allowed to be Riven before the Com muiee on irotests of mat Board of Canvassers. Mr. W aierhury still maintained the ground as originaii.v taken ny him. The Board of Canvassers must c i nvaa* the returns as received bv them: to allow the iiitioduction oi witnesses it might require ten in nibs, instead ol ten days, as the law required, to complete tne canvass. Auer some further argument by counsel affida vits were road bv Mr. William Doyle, James L. Mar tin and Michael M. t.'onwn.v, to ihn Afreet that ilier were iho inspectors of election In the Kirsi district of tne Twentieth ward; that there were wo reuis tered voters in said district; that 8 names do not appcitroii ihc poll lists is because no poll cierks were present at the opening ol the polls; that the keeping ol a poll list was not tor that reason commenced iinid the election had l.aruaiiy progressed; ui.it until said list was com menced the names ol the persons voting were checke i on tile regictry; that It can be proved that tin number of persons above stated did vote in said diMilct. that .Mr. Loewentlial, one of iin> poll clerks In sui i district, wtio is said to have made an affl* oa vii in relation to sum election, diser and Mr. ltoblnson, and Mr. Mitchell, lor ihe contestant Wisser, asked that the returns for Assistant Alderman in the re nth, Thirteenth and iSevt'iiu enth districts be thrown o:.t. 1 no Committee then closed tue case.

The ( Next {-Comptroller Green's Checkmate Moves? Loose Way of Hanking. The crash in Tammany bank stocks, which Is fatly reported below in this mormon's Uekai.d, will doc, o! course, surprise any one wlto has watched the man i'uvrea or the Ring tor the last row years. One interest alter another has been surrounded and captured by Mr. Tweed and his associates, until tlte aggregate was round to be too great to be bandied exclusively by three or four men who acted as tno Great Moguls. It would, of course, attract attention if those men should take money belonging to minors and orphans out 01 the Public Administrator's hands, and gamble and speculate with it; but it might be done easily, by tlrst getting It Into savings banks managed by themselves. TUe old establisQed sav ings banks or the city could not be relied on to ac commodate tho lUng very readily. New ones were established with a rapidity and a recklessness which might liavo created doubts of their stability in the minds oi honest men. By a careful reading ot the statements which we print tbis morning it will be seen how nicely the thing was fixed to go round the King. Mr. Wil liam M. Tweed, for instance, is the reputed Presi dent of the (iuardian Savings Bank, and Is a di rector tn the Bowling tireen and in the National, wnich have burst. The National is, however, re? ported to be solvent and ready to continue business to-morrow. Mr. Ely, tho reputed secretary of the Guardian, has not held that oillce except in name for two years past, and, as ne informed our reporter yesterday, Walter Roche and Mr. Doughty havo managed the concern. Then, again, "Hank" Smith Is President of the Bowling Green Savings Bank, and Mr. Tweed, Walter Roche and their associates are directors. Reeves E. Selmes, who has done the pious for the defunct Board of Super visors and the Ring masters, is the Secretary. HanK Smith is at the same time Vice-President oi the Na tional, as Walter Roche is of the Howling Green bank. Mr. McBrlde Davidson, tho President of tho National, is the same who has supplied tho city with cheap safes, ami Tweed and the Ring men are its directors. 01 course some unwary depositors, and some through personal friendship, perhaps havo de posited money in those lcstltutious, but it Is evident now, when the crash has come upon them, that they depeuded very largely upon municipal support, which being withdrawn, they aro unable longer to exist. II tnelr fall shall mako other banks ami other depositors more careful the effect will be salu tary upon the community. The Yorkvilie Savings Bank, controlled by Henry W. Genet, was reported to be in a languishing condition also, but arter careiul lnnulry by our re porter the ofllcets of that institution declare It per fectly sound and ready to pay off every dollar duo. They repudiate any connection of tho Rlug with their bank. In yesterdav's Herald some account was given of the '-run" tn TlIE GUARDIAN SAVINGS BANK, 1C4 Chatham street, of which William M. Tweed la President and William L. Ely, Secretary. This institution was not originally designed, of course, to I "guard" the savings ot anybody, but rather to cover up Illegal transactions IT WILL BE OPENED." Mr. Kly knocked, the shutter weni up, a sign was made to go to the lront door. Here the secretary entered, remarking to the reporter, "Wait until I Come out; ir there is anything I will give it to you." Alter an absence ol Uftesn minutes no came out, said there was no one within but the receiver aud Clerks; mat they would notgive a statement oi assets aud liabilities, and would not know mo conoltiou ot affairs until after nine o'clock P. M. If tnen moved off up Chatham street in search of his proxy, Doughty, and tne public are ieit in ignorance oi iho affairs oi the concern, which, 11 soivcnt, does not justify so much secrecy. Kiv is now connected with tho Real Estate Trust Company, an institution that secured a charter lust year wiili such extraordinary powers that it at tracted attention from those legislators, who suspected it to t NO STANDING In the "Clearing House." He had. therefore, called a'. Chatham square to draw the cash, but louud itic ftauk dosed. .vevcrai similar cases also occurred during the forenoon, but these persons, although enraged and annoyed, o tiered uo disturbance of the peace. Hut, MS if in anticipation or such a disturhanbe, a force ol police was Kent in reserve at tuo Sixth Precinct Police station, and several oillceis in plain clollios hung around tuc vicinity to bo ready for any such cvonr. About, eleven o'clock Louis Ingersoll and several others ol the directors drove up to the bank lu their carriages, and, after making themselves known, were admitted. When thev passed the gates tho waiting ana anxious depositors made a ru&ii to get 111, but wore kept out by toe robust, porter, who was evidently schooled iu Ins duties. 1 here were rumors rile last night tiiut the receiver will open the bank t. -morrow, nut tuev could not bo traced to any re liable source. Yesterday a "run'' wiw made on the UOWL1.NU oKKKN SAVINGS BANK, at 33 Broadway, of wt.tcii Henry Smith, otherwise "Hank" .Mmth, is president, and Reeves K. Seimes, one of the mo?i supple tools or the lung, is secre tary. The run exhausted the lunds 011 nana at a very early hour, at which Un.o it is said they had paid ont about fifty thousand dollars. Justice llouan and Walter Itoche are vice presi dents and directors of the bank, and, 01 course, Tweed had his linger in the pie also. At a quarter to two o'clock 1'. M. tuev nad no inouey 111 the bank, aud at twenty 1u1nut.es p:i*t two P. M. the doors were closed. The prim ary canse of this suspension is said to have been a loss of nearly a quarter million dollars on stock or the Hannibal and .St. Joseph Railroad. which has recently virtually collapsed, u the electiou of oillccrs and directors of tli.s road, wheh as held on the 6th inslaut, the Boston and other stockholders ielt the sinking ship, and the Gotham rats remained. The Slate election, which followed next day, scattered tho l.iug and all its concerns, and the Hauninal and St. Josephs went the way of a 1 such ranroau schemes. Tue stock, winch ?as valued at tijoefore ihe lato election, closed on Hie street la-l evening at ui>?. While the Bowl ing Ureen savings Bank, as an incorporated insti tution, did not hold any 01 this monkey railroad stock, still its o.iicers ami directors use 'J the lunds of the bank to speculate m tills ana m other stock to tlic IMMINENT IT-RII, OK THE DEPOSITORS. If the railroad stock, had gone up the bank would not ue one cent tue buster lor it, but havlug goue the oilier wav, down, it lias to bear the loss? or rather its depositors und stockholders have. Yesterday atternoon a reporter or the Herald called at the bank, ihe "run" was over. The doors, iront and rear, were closed and locked and no amount of knocking or waiting could effect an entrance. A lew or tho unfortunate ones who had drawn biauks and not prizes in tills Tweed lottery still lingered. A Herman woman who had some money there In trust for her children stopped lu to make Inquiries. A ros\ -laced gentleman encouraged her by saying that it would be all right; tnat the bank had closed for the day, and that if she called on Monday she would hear something more about it. We pro pose to give her oilier inlorniation by and by. Another gentleman tried to explain to lier that tho nauk had burst and li.td no tuonev to pay its debts, and would nut have ou Monday either, snc could not. comprehend the fact, but persisted in saying tuat the bank would not of course dciraud her children, and she went away la doubt what to lielieve about It. A workiugman was there looking lor JTtior his hardly-earned money which had been squandered. A clerk, who wanted to deposit a check on tue Bowling (irecu llank tor $18 ana could not, was there to KNOW THE REASON WHY-. The rosy-faced gcntiemau explained the why and the wherefore. Another, an apparently well-to-do man, was there looking lor the small sum of $2,003, which ho had piaced in "tlank" Smith's k"eping. Ue managed to obtain an interview with Hank's factotum, Reeves E. Seimes, but he coula not icec a sight at his money. He, however, appeared to take the matter very cooly. Perhaps he hail assurances irofti behind the sceues that ad would be right by and by. Auother gentle men came there with a pile 01 grceuoacks, which he took uac. with him. tiiauklul for his escape. The Hkrai.d representative made a strike tor the rear entrance to ihe bank, or rather to the directors' room, and knocked at the door, which was promptly opened by Judge Ho^an. Hut betoro the 11 Kit a id man could ask a question, Mr. felines ap peared, aud held the kiioo of the door nervously in his hand, as if he would bo greatly relieved by the reporter's departure. The following conversation ensued, however, ere the Herald man left, TDK SECRETARY'S 8TATKMKNT. Reported Mr. seimes, have you had a "run" on your bank to-day 1 sblmbs We had. Indeed, a heavy run. Ri roKTBR? How much money did you pay out? Belmks (with a forced siuilei? I'd rather not say anything about that just now. We paid out all wo nad. reporter? WBl you open on Monday for busl ness SKI.ME9? No, we will not. Weclosed to-day, about two o'clock, and we shall uot 00 aole to open soon, if at all. Rbi'OUTER Mr. Seimes, what arc the liabilities of the bank/ sklmks? About half a million dollars. REiOKTkR? And \our assets? ski.mes ?About tue same. We shall bo aole, after a while, to pat dollar tor dollar aud to meet every obligation ??i our creditors, hut we must have nine to do It. We have ample securities, but vou see the odium heaped upon us dining the last three mouths has been such tnat we could not get. money. If we oilered securities lor sale people said, "No, you are conuccicd wttn the Ring, und we'll have nothing to do wiih you;'' or, il they were wiung to purchase, we were obliged to sell at heavy discount, tve have HAD To BKAIt THIS I KKSSI KB and this stigma lor three months until It ha* com pelled us to stop payment. We snail be able to meet ail our otUigat ons 11 we get time. Tho reporter inatikcd Mr. Seimes and bade him adieu, it w as ?unt that a Mr. loonehad been ap pointed receiver dur.ug the day. It mav be inter esting to those who have money deposited in this bank to know that ou the word or the Secretary there is uo money iu the bank and It will not ho open ou Monday. Hence it will be useless for them to gather there, or to make auv demand lor their deposits. They will have to await the slow process o tue law to get anything at ah. They may recover all, or 11 large portion, by waiting, but ihey can hardly base their winter's supplies upon any such hopes, ami we advise thein to husband their pros- cut resources for the trying days that are yet to come. As a g utletnan remarked yesterday to the Herald mau at the door of the bank there will bo a great deal or sintering this winter. Tammany has gone aud taken all the public money she could, aud Instead of hav ing money enough to employ additional laborers and mechanics during the winter moutns there is nut money enough to pay those wno have worked lor us diiriug the rail. Tuey, of course, will havo 10 go by ami bv, and wo may be obliged to resort to sonp houses here to support the poor, as we did In the wtuier or 1854-6. It is ardently noped tnat THE WINTER MAV BE A MILD ONE and that th pressure now felt In huancial circles may Pe removed and money become easier. It. never was truer than it is now that ??wnen the wicked rule the people mourn." If It was the gutiry only who ?uflere I It would be well, but when iho honest poor are made to suirer for tho crimes or thosn whom they have trusted no amount or exe cration can sufficiently condemn the swindlers and speculators. An 1 we now advise every poor man who has uioney in any ot Tweed's bankings to re move it as speedily as possible, for Hie crash will not stop here. They lived upon municipal pap, but now that that It .is oeen saken away Irom them they pine und sicken and die. The litsease is within iheui, mi I the physicians' instiuments are not. able to reach the seat until it has done its work fatally. I.et tho mourners around the deathbed, therefore, be as few as posMble, and at the grave none. Some men's works go belore them, and some they follow af cr, but Tweed's and Tammany's works are be lore and behind, and their monuments or corrup tion and cruelly are all around. rtIK NATIONAL s.tVINlM INSTITUTION.

The reporter waited upon Mr. smith at 'ho end ot the hour, anil wu informed by him that the Hoard of Tru-teos had unanimously decided that the tiank should e lully prepared lo uieef it." With tin* inlorrnauou the reporter, thanking him, retired. rue National Savings Institution.

The Yorkville Navlnsr* Itnuk Al-o Rrpnrted Klmky? Crolioble f'uUhy of (too llviiiar. Last evening among other banks reported burst the Yorkville Savings Hank, of which H. W. Genet is President, occupied a conspicuous place. It wu announced that a heavy run had taken place on the bauk during th& day; tliat the assets of the company were entirely Insuillcleur. and that a crash was inevitable, f As the banks which have already suspended are more or lens connected with the Tammany Ring the rumor gained additional strength from the fact of Mr. Genet, who is so prominent a member of the Tammany organisa tion, being the President of the Vor-ville. Judge Mcquade, unotaer 'prominent partisan ol the "lost cause," being its Vice- President. The bank la sltuatod on the corucr of Eighty-sixth street and Third avenue. In the ceu're of a populous bat poor district. Tho depositors, therefore, are mainly of tho poorer classes, who seem to be the main sufferers from the stupendous frauds which the failures of Friday and yesterday havo brought to light. Id order to ascertain the TRUTH OK THE RUMOR a Herald reporter was instantly despatched to tho ofllcc oi the oank to wire the truth of ihe rumor and, If possible, get a faitUful account of tho situation. The cashier was fortunately found at his post, though just on the point of leav ing, and in response lo tho inquiries cheerfully promised to give tue full particulars of tne state of i lie U nance* so far as lie has an opportunity of knowing. He professed astonishment at the rumor In circulation, and asnei ted that it had uot tne slightest loundatlon to rest upou. No excitement or run of any kind had been made upon them during the day, business had gone on as it usually did, and lie says to his a.-tonlshmeui new accounts had been opened, as they had not anticipated doing any fresh business lor a few dais, till the universal panic which prevails relative to the saviugs banks of the city h id been somewhat allayed. The business of the oank Is limited, the deposits being under *inn,ouu, und ihe executive committee are men or wealth and substance, who. lie stales, wdl be fully able to make good any deilc.lcncles in the event ol such an un looked-lor circumstance as tho Insolvency of the bank taking place. The reporter suggested to hitn that in Mr. Genet was connected with the King it was not at all improbable that it might occur; but lie made the astonishing answer lliat as Mr. Genet never had been connected with the King in any capacity, the observation conld not apply. He courteously offered to conduct tho reporter to the Jefferson Club, on Ninetieth street, wnore tho Yico President, .iu nun M'4t;\i>R, could bo fouud, who would furnish additional continuation ol the truth ol lus (tne cash ier's) statement. The cosoy rooms of the up to a n re.-ort ol the ring politicians being readied after some search, the .nidge was discovered In close confab wim a friend, the subject under discus sion being evidently an important one; but un the intimation ol tne cashier that a reporter or tho Hickaii) wi hed to nee Inm he instantly dropped the conversation, wondering what had oronuht such a visitor at so unusual an hour. On learning the nature of the business he cast up his eves in Holy horror at Hie wicksduess of men who had the audacity to circ ulate so scandalous a report lu connection with an institution oi winch tho CRBAT GENET was the acknowledged head. "Why, man de? (said he), the iu n connected with the bank are as rich as Jews, able to pay ihe amount of the deposits ten times over and live like princes afier, and Ican'l see what reason any one had to put in circulation any rumors impugning their honesty." He says the deposits, which are leas man loi),oo>, are more than covered by the assets,- and that there Is not the slightest cause Tor tho depositors to be die least alaimed about thoir money. The reporter, ox leav I Ing the cm1', made lmiuirics in the neighborhood to see how far tin- statements of the oiflci.tis could be relied upon, and go lar as there being no run heard of, or uny undue alarm, they were lully cor roborated. and tho Inference is that, so far. the Yorkville Is all right; but how long it may remain so, "is one of those things, no fellow can Und out."

At the meeting Held a lev days au'o a committee or flvo was appointed to re port to tue hoard lor their action on Wednesday all resignations received. It Is said that fif teen out of the twenty -five directors havo aireaily reslgue l. Tun reorganization win take place by each member, as he tenders his resig natlon, proposing tue name 01 some other person not at present connected with the Hoard, and it is understood that an arrangement has iieeti u.ade oy winch every sentient an propos' d as a new director will positively accept the honor. It is staled on good autnorlty that the Hoard when reorganized will have among its members several or the most prominent financiers m the state, among others Commodore anderoilt.
