THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, THE CITY TREASURY DEFALCATION. According to the report of the Committee of Councils in reference to the defalcation of the City Treasurer, the aggregate loss of was occasioned by three different improper transactions. One of these was a direct loan by the City Treasurer of 000 to C. T. YERKES, the money thus transferred being public funds.

in cash had been transferred to C. T. YERKES, Co. for the purchase of loans for the use of the sinking fund. These two items, amounting to represented cash which had been accumulated in the City Treasury, and which was taken from it.

The balance of $145,000 represented an amount of city loans intrusted to CHARLES T. YERKES, to be sold, which he reported disposed of, and received authentication on the books of the City Treasurer, the latter having not been paid any money, but, nevertheless, giving credit to YERKES as if the loans had been paid for. In regard to the loans of city funds actually made out of the cash in the Treasury to YEEKES, it is admitted by this report that such transactions have been carried on for a long time, 1 and that all the supposed checks and balances devised to discover a defalcation in the City Treasurer's office were utterly inefficient. Councils had a regular committee to verify the accounts of the City Treasurer. That committee took as little trouble as possible.

It went once a month upon an appointed day and at a fixed hour to the City Treasurer's office, and there it was shown by the books that the Treasurer had received so much during the month, had paid out so much, and was responsible for such and such a balance. The bankbooks and account of cash on band proved that he had exactly the amount required, and the committee, with serenity, certified that everything was right, and departed to trouble the Treasurer no more until the appointed day on the succeeding month. Now, mark how easily the eyes of this committee, were "shut up." It appears that the practice of the Treasurer, as long as YERKES was faithful, was to have his balances all right by the return of the money in the hands of the broker a short time before the committee met. Then everything was straight, but, as soon as the monthly form of investigation was over, a new check of some hundred thousands was drawn in favor of YERKES, who had the use of the money for the joint benefit of himself and the City Treasurer, and, perhaps, of the chief clerk, for a whole month. It cannot be said that this fraud could not have been discovered if proper investigation had (been made.

The committee to verify accounts, it was admitted in Council on Thursday last, should have made weekly examinations instead of going through the ceremony once a month. If it had done even that much it would have impeded, to some extent, the traffic in the city funds which was carried on between the City Treasurer and the broker. The latter could not have been encouraged to engage in speculating transactions which could extend over more than from three to five days, and thus a very serious obstacle would have been put in the way of fraud. In addition to this, it is a matter of certainty that if the committee to verify the accounts of the Treasurer had examined the check book of the latter they could bave discovered at any time that large sums of money had been drawn out from the ury which were not used to pay warrants, and which were, therefore, irregular. Nothing of the sort was done, however, and thus this carelessness reached at length the inevitable consequence.

In regard to the loans sold by YEREES, and which the Treasurer credited on his books as legitimately sold and paid, for a very slight examination would have shown whether the money had been actually received. It was too much trouble, we suppose, to look into such affairs, and so this item was added to the general It, therefore, appears that it is not entirely just to place the whole blame for loss. this defalcation and embezzlement upon the City Treasurer. If the City Councils bad done their duty entirely, and compelled their committee to fulfill their obligations, defalcations would have been difficult or have been discovered before it could assume great proportion. STAR CHAMBER PROCEEDINGS.

When the City Treasury defalcation was under consideration in the lower branch of Councils, on Thursday, the member from the Second Ward offered a resolution that the Joint Special Committee on Investigation should be directed to admit to their meetings the autherized reporters of newspapers of Philadelphia, Mr. McGRATH, alleging in support of his motion, that every citizen was directly interested in the matter which the committee were investigating, and that the only facilities the public had of learning the facts eliminated by the inquiry could be afforded by the daily journals. "As servants of the public," he said, "the mittee should open their doors to the reporters." Mr. McGRATH appears from this to be one of those public servants, who not only knows his duty, but is anxious to perform it. Of another sort is that disingenuous young person, Mr.

WALKER, who, last winter, was actively employed before the Legialature in futile attempts to turn the city over to the control of Star Chamber Commissions, he to be at the head of one of them. Mr. WALKER said he was not now opposed to the admission of the reporters to the proceedings of the committee, "because the part of the businesswas now con" cluded." That is, everything in which the taxpayers had a personal, because a pecuniary interest, being got out of the way, they might now be permitted to understand that portion of the investigation to which no interest of any kind attached.

cussion of the Eastern Question. EN ALL matters of progress Americans are determined to keep the lead. The railroad building mania of the Khedive, which was commented on in these columns two days ago, has inspired one of our enthusiastic countrymen with the happy idea of having the Pyramids converted into weather signal stations. No better use could certainly be made of these immense monuments of the reigns of the PHARAOHS. And IsMAIL PACHA, who is a go-a-bead sovereign, will, no doubt, in good time, send for American meteorologists to give his subjects the advantage of code of weather prognostics and warnings; and for signal stations, what better points of vantage than the tops of the Pyramids, the head of the statue of Memuon, the Sphinx, and, on the upper Nile, the columns of the temple ruins at Abonsimboul, Denderra and Karnak? A CORRESPONDENT writing from Toronto, and professing to be thoroughly familiar with the policy of the Dominion Government on the fishery muddle, says that the Canadians do not intend to demand the restitution of the recaptured schooner "Horton;" that the craft in question had never been condemned by the courts; had been taken possession of by her original owners, and carried out of Canadian jurisdiction.

Secretary BOUTWELL may do as he pleases in the matter, say other Canadians, but the Dominion will in no wise trouble itself about the "Horton." 'This is all very well for our Northern neighbors, but what is General BUTLER to do. He insists that the Dominion committed an outrage, and that we insulted the Dominion, and the aggressive and debased power laughs in the face of the great man of Essex, and smilingly asserts that it is all right. If matters are to continue in this amiable sort of way, in the face of eloquent speeches in detense of our oppressed and dashing fishermen, who cruise in Canadian waters and cut out vessels at their own sweet will, there can be no fishery troubles to distract as even before the Treaty of Washington is carried into practical effect. this declaration, that it should evoke high admiration, except that, if pursued in all matters that engage the attention of Councils, the public would be without any knowledge whatever of the proceedings of their servants, and fraud and 1 peculation would be 88 common in Councils as they are in the Gas Ring, or in the Sheriff's office. Municipal officers, no matter whether they are Councilmen, Trustees or Commissioners, are as Mr.

MoGRATH asserted, merely the servants of the public, chosen to discharge certain duties, and, in all I things, they are responsible to their masters, the people. The results of carrying on the whole business of a municipality with closed doors, in contempt of the rights of the citizens, bave had full exemplification in New York. TWEED, HALL, SWEENY and CONNOLLY chose to consider themselves a close corpor ation, and to exclude from their deliberations of public matters representatives of the press, and in that way, and only in that way, they were enabled, in a single year, to steal from the City Treasury twenty millions of dollars. That is an experience which we do not care to repeat in Philadelpbia, and the certain means to avoid it will be found in permitting the newspapers full access to all proceedings of the people's servants.

OBITUARY. General Josiah Harlan, A native of this city, and a gentleman highly esteemed. died recently in San Francisco.

At an' early age he was inspired by a love of travel and adventure, and in 1820 he arrived in Hindoostan, and made a tour through some of the most unfrequented portions of Asia, spending pearly twenty years in Persia, Caboul and Afghanistan. Entering the service of Dost Mohammed, he rose to a high rank and performed efficient service, not the least of which was the introduction of modern tactics in the armies of Asia. Returning home he took up his residence in Philadelphia until the outbreak of the Rebellion, when he offered his services to the government, which were accepted, and he immediately commenced to recruit the Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry, in this city, which was known at the time as Harlan's Cavalry." Colonel Harlan served with distinction, but was compelled to relinquish his command on account of disability. CITY NOTICES.
