The ac'iion cai been commenced under what is k nown'a the Elaveraeyer act o 1S72, chapter 161, ot the laws of that section, -whtca ENACTS BRIEFLY JL FOLLOWS: Se3. 1. All officers, ag-nts, commisiion era and other persons acting for or on behalf of any coucty, town or municipal corporation In this state, and each and every - one of them, may be prosecuted, and an action or actions may be maintained against them to prevent waste or injury to any properly, fun Js or estate of such county, town or municipal corporation, by any citizen assessed fcsr and liable to pay taxes therein, within one year previous to tbe commencement of any such actions.

The summons for relief to the defendants named above Is in tbe accustomed form, requiring them to answer within twenty days. In the complaint Mr. Charles Devlin alleges, as jlaintlfl, nominally, that be resides in tbe city and county of New York, and has there re-sided continually for tbe last twenty-five years and more, aud is assessed lor and liable to pay taxes therein and has paid taxes therein wiib'n the present year, and In each and every -ear of the last twentyfivejea, amounting each vear to (1,000 and upward. As the plaintifl is informed nd believes the defendants, John H. Keyser, Andrew J. Garvey, Hichard B. Connolly, Jmes 1. Ingeraoll, together -with Jauoe W'od, heretofore and in or about the year 1S09 ENTERED INTO A CONSPIRACY TO defraud tbe county ot New York and tbe mayor, aldermen and commonalty of tbe citj of New York by fabricating and pro caring pay merit of a re tended claims against the city and the county, sucb claims being sometimes wholly falsa, and sometimes , grossly and fraudulently exaggerated. In pursuance of tbe Bald conspiracy, as the plaintiff is iQtnrmed,aod believes various pretended claims, so e of them against this county, and others against tbs mayor, ald ermen and commonalty, were by tbe (aid -conspirators, or some ot them, fa tbe inter -est ot tbe others, fabricated and payment inereor procured irom me treasurers ot the ald county and of the said city, respectively, amounting to several minions ot dollars from each. Upon tbe discovery of the said lrands, which discovery took place in tbe uman-r and autumn of I871.it became the duty ot tbe board ox supervisors, and of tbe mayor, aldermen and commoc alty of tbe city, andot their prorer office. s, to make lawful tff irts, by mit or otherwise, to obtain restitution to the treaaarers of tbe county p id city, respectively, of all money and property of which the county and city bad been so defrauded as aforesaid,' and whicb duty has continued to this dy and tili continues. Tbe defendant, Charles 8 FalrcMld, i9 attorney general of tbe state of New York, and as each he claims, as the plaintiff is informed, and believes, authority to proaecut-a toe tsaid conspirators and to cause them to make r s itution to the treasurers of tbe county and city, respectively, ot all money nd prop rty abtsined by them, or any ot them, atid the right to reoover all damages chuxh1 by thes tid frauds. The defendant, William (J Whitney, is conn sei to the corporation of the city of New York, and as aucfi it bis du'y to prosecute all claims ot tn sid county and city and to maintain their b-g! rights In all courts and places. N twittifUndtng the duties heretofore set forth no civil action or prosecation, as tbe plaintifl ia Inf riued and believes, has ever been commenced against any one of the coDpita' r or their estates, and no efl irt made to obtain reHtitutlon of tbe money and property so fraudulently obtained a aforesaid, except as hereinafter mentioned, for money o property so fraudulently oblalned, and of all demands against them by .reason or the rauds or any of them, lie eka ibal thssaiJ receiver or thesiid officer iosy be rquue J to l'Rr 8ICCTK THK PAID OOXSPIBATOCS and tbOr aa d estates, atid tndtavor, by all lawful .-noan, t ob ain restitution to tbe ' treasurer cf the county and city, refe.'tiveJy, of al l a.oney and property so fraudulently obu'n'd. That tbe officers w hove duty it wis 'o promote tbe paid claims, and who brtve b -en. guilty of such ccglect and coilunion, at sforeiai 1, bsrequiioito make gni to the county and city, re-pee--iveJy,all wate or Injury done or suffered

by them to the property, funds or estate of the eouaty and city, and all loss which may baye been occasioned by their default, iod all money and property whiob they rritght have obtained for tbe said conntv 'and city. The said conspirators have had.

ever since the said irauas, ana sun nave each of them, as tbe plaintiff Is informe 1 and believes, large estates, from which res titution of the money ana property so fraudulently obtained could, with reason able diligence, have been procured, and could BtUl be procured, to the full extent at Wast of three or four mlinons of dollars. In tbe var 1S72. as the plaintiff Is informed and believes, an assignment of a large amount of prorcrty was uiaie by the de fendant John il. Keyser to the defendant Jackson S Schult, in trust to collect and convert the same into money, and pay tne s me to the said cocnty or city in sntiftsc lion, wholly or partly, for the fa d monev and property so fraudulently obtalt ed, which assignment wa accepted by the said Rubtiltz, ard be has received a large muuntof money and property thereunder. Sitharaid over notfcinz to the c uo y or citv. A l'r tfH p-nt trt ton oi ine aI frauds, snd before the discovery there f, ;a aforesaid, th enl Wats-m dieif, and, ts tne plaintifl ia Informed snd believes, a puit was ommnced in tbe Sunrenie Court ot this vt teduringtheyea'J1875,In then-nieof the poopl- of ths state against Margaret atson a-t administratrix ot the estate of the b&ni James Watson, to RECOVER MONET SO FRAUDULENTLY OB TAINED, ai aforesaid, and thereupin a judrnent was obtained for the sum ot $(513,932 32, which, cr the creator part thereof, hau been paid by tbe said Margtret Watson, but no part thereof baa come into tbe possession of tbe county or city. As the plaintiff Is in formed and believer, tbe said Keyser, Oar vey and Ingeraoll have II admitted and avowed, In different legal proceed lng3, that tbey participated in such fraudulent acts as aloresaid, or some of them, but although such admissions were known to ibe officers whose duty it was to prosecute, no action ot any kind, except as in tbls complaint men tioned, has been taken by them or anyo tbem against the persons making tbe admissions and avowals. Tbe neglect to call tbe aaid Schultz to account, and the neglect to prosecute each and all of tbe said conspirators and tbe omisdon to obtain restitution from them or their estates of tbe money and property thus so fraudulently obtained M aforesaid, has been owing, as tbe p aint.fl la informed and believes, to the gros beglect of the county and city, and the proer officers whose duty it was to prosecute tbe claims of each, and to collusion between tbe said officers or some of them, and the said conspirators and the proper officer whose duty it is to prosecute the said claims and to procure restitution, as aforesaid, are compelled speedily to prosecute the Fa d con spirators and use all rcasocab e diligence to obtain re titution to tbe treasurer of the county and city respectively, there is great and imminent danger of several ra liions of dollars being lo-t to the city. And tbe plaintiff is Informed and believe civil actions having been once began ngainst tbe said Connolly and tbe said Ingersoll, bave been discontinued or abandoned, a pardon bas been procured for tbe said Iogetsoll, who had been indicted and convicted for transactions com ecterf with tbe said frauds, the time for finding indictments aaicst the eaid Garvey and Kejsor has been PURPOSELY LEFT TO ELAPSE, some of tbe claims against the said conspirators capable of redress by civil action bave been already barred by tbe statute of limitation and the rest will become barred In the course of a few months if no action be ia the meantime commeoced; therefore tbe plaintiff demands judgment. 1. Tb at the said board of supervisors of the county of New York, the aald mayor, aldermen and commonalty ot the city of New Zork, and all officers whose duty it ia to prosecute the said claims and to cause restitution as afortsiid, be by injunction prevented from doing or suffering any waste or injury to aoy property, luudt oi estate ot the eaid county and city, and restrained from giving any release or discharge to any of tbe said conspirators or any portion i their estates respectively, or making any agreement or compromise with tbem or any of them, except under tbe direction of the court. 2. That a receiver b9 appointed of all tbe said c'aims agtinst the said conspirators. Charles Devlin swears to tbe truth of tbe above d-c ar.ttoi b in the usual form, and his attorneys, Field and Deyo, are to proceed witn tbe ca-e aaiui-t the parties t amed, as maicaiea in tne iore?vn statement. FOOIPAÜ AND FIEND. THE UNCONSCIOUS VICTIMS OF HIGHWAYMEN TU. U-T BfeFORK A RAILROAD TRAIN. The St. LiouU Times of yes erday says: On Wednesday night Mr. Anton Ilagenwright and wife, of Decatur, 111., were In East St. Louis and, about 8 o'clock, were passing along St. Clair avenue to go to tbe boue of a friend. As tbey were crossing tbe Ohio fc Hisfci-isippl railroad track, which runs across the avenue, tbey were attacked by three men, whose purpose wai Boon developed by the manner In which tbey begin operations.

OBITUARY. GORDON BYRON BING II AM.

TÜR BAD AND TRAGIC END OF AN EVENTFUL CAREER A LIFE OF TWENTY YEARS GOES OCT IN GLOOM. The Evansvllle Courier of yesterday thus treats of the life and death ot Gordon By ron Bingham whose decease was announce1 in the Sentinel of yesterday morning: Tbe bus'est heart will find time to-day to drop a tear to tbe memory of Gordon Byron Bingbam. For more than twenty years his narns has been familiar to the people of this section, as a young man struggling for po sition and fortune, aa successful merchaut and latterly as the largest distiller and liquor dealer in Noutbern Indiana. This em hi aces tbe Calient points of bis life, the events whlc distir guisbed him, nude elm a man 01 note and a cuizsn. But this is not all. Me bad personal traits that wo i admiration a"d entowed pleasure, a heart frank and ovet flowing with generosity, and a nature rolickirg In the fl w and frisk or healthy animal ppiri s. His sense of humor per vaded all bis acts, bis disposition revealing itself always in tbe mo-t amiab.e moods, bee from all bitterness and rioting in jokes and quaint sayincs tbat are part ol the bis lory ot Indiana. There was still another side to his nature, but tiat is too sacred tor the footsteps ot a stranger to enter. Standing on the threshold of his home life, we catch glimpses ot a man, serious and determined in purpose, kind aud devoted to wife aod children, wholly absorbed in the delight and pleasure tbat gamboled under his roof. Since 1852 he has been a resident ot Patoks, and the regard and esteem which all classts of citizens in Gibson county feel for him Is just abort of idolatry. This recollection af fords sweet Incense in this hour of sorrow, rr e voices are ucanimous in glowing pra'BP. and there Is no disanting lip to desecrate his open grave. Oi thi we can speak, because tee darkness wt the laH days or his life were brightened with tokens ot atlcciion and love, wnicn in wider, grta er and more extended spheres tbe world lavishes upon its benefactors, upon thwse who cast their lot with human muttering and labor to enlighten every man's load of care. Time would tail U4 to recount the ins'ancee ot such tributes durlrg tbe last few mouths, in which tbe good will of bis neighbors, ga nered during an active, stirring, eventful life, was man! es'ed in pathetic tenderness, that touches a chord In every heart. From this hearfelt but inadequate meed of pra se, we must turn to a briet rtcital of the events of his life. M R. BINGHAM WAS BORN IN BALTIMORE, August 21, 1S20, and ceme to Washington, Ind., when qulce a boy, going aa was tbe custom in thse times into a family of the name of Terry. He used to refer often to bis guardian, in his peculiar way, as "a man woo had undertaken to raise him, but found tbat be had too large a co ntract on hand." It wa- in ihe earlydays of Evat svilie'scommercial annals tbat he became a part and parcel ot its history. Among the busine-s tuen of that remote period, he clerked in the frtore of John Suanklin, Eq., and other, whof names we could not ascertain. In 1S49 the California gold fever took him, witb thousands ot Ibers, to the Eldorado ot the fr We-t. 1 hence he started lor Au tralia, but only proceeded so far as the Sandwich Islands. Iiis residence intrust regions was lull of adventure and overflowing: with all tbe scenes and incidents bound about with the spell tbat fact an t romance bave spread over tbe Argonauts of '49. In 1852, be returned to Indiana determined to tile down and make this bin future home tie opened a general store at Patoka in tbat year aud has ever Binc been a resident ot Gibson county. In 1857, he married Miss Minerva S:ockwell, tbH sister of Mr. George Stotkwell and Mrs. Wm. E. French, of thi city, and a lady, then and now, whose high womanly worth Is beyond tbe reach of ct inpliment or eulogy. Mr. Btngbam continmd to meet with success in bis business ard in 1861, we believe, began tbe work of distilling, Mt first in a snail way. Iu 1S70, he was joined by bis brother John W., and new life and fresh imoule seized all tteir undertakings which from this time to tbe very moment that the government laid its band upon their posessions, present one series of splendid euccetf-ea, meteoric- in tbe annals or tbe commerce of Southern Indiana. Tb&e later even's, tbe seizure of their possessions, and confiscation of tbeir property, are too vivid in public recollection to need morettan this passing allusion. We now apprcach a part of the history which no man can contemplate unmoved, and on reflecting upon wbich tbe deepest sympa'.by must fl w even from hearts callous to the touch of pity. The sudden and overwh'-lmning calamity In which everything was enguHed, swallowed with it that which ai most valuable, and tbat which should have remained to make amend for tbe wrcek au evil hour bad brought. It was THE LIFE OFBTRON BINGHAM. From tbe moment ot bis arrest aa a member of tbe whisky ring be was a broken hearted man. Els high, strong nerve col. laosed, and well nigh toppled bis reason with it. That, however, remained to sooth an affliction unutterable in its woe. Mr. Bingham, during last summer, frequently and solemnly said tbat tbe whole business was killing him by inches. Be declared tbat be never could survive the late wnich seemed awaiting btm at tbe inexorable bidding ot tbe law. U;s sickness and the general prostratiou of his whole system sprung Irom this deep mental agony, from which, tbank God, he Is now iree. His health be am worse and worse, a Is wt ll known, A'ter bis return from Indianapolis the symptoms grew more aud more alarming, and for days bis life was desr. aird of. The bisb and noble devotion ot h a wife and family, joined by the taroebt en deavors of friends, wera unable to bring back r Is lite to its wonted channels; to restore tbe wonted lightness and elasticity to his pints, and elevate bis mind from tbe gloom which was lowering upon it. It was a work of love, but it was ail in vain. During ti e lt-t tew days, as tbe time drew near tr bit departure for Indianapolis, It seemed impoible for bim to find rest, and his s s:eut w.m gradually yielding more and n.ore to tLe tremendous assault being made urn it. However, on Monday evening he bad everything in rr aJice e tor the J urn-y tu tbe capital, which n to bave been undertaken yesterday, and which seemed to fill htm with so much horror. As ho bade bis sister. Mrs. Fannie Biogbam. "good bye," he Mi to should never see tier again, and tbat be never could live through ibeecenes wbich were coming on. He wai so earnest tn bis declarations that he never should see sis old some again, that It needed no other thing than this alone to invest tbem with the sacred nes of prophecy. Be fere retiring be bad on of those terrible nerv uiS attacks, and at It cl s wat COMPLETELY PROSTRATED. By the physician's prescription, arul at his own r quest, he wm given a ui.ül potion of hydig'e of chloral, In order that be might (drbap be refreshed and reaewe l withnlep. Shortly before äve o'clock on yesterday morning be awakened and ftaid that he felt very badly and atked t)T another aose of tbe sedative, which wai administered. At eight an1 nine o'clock he was ab.e to speak, aud seemed cor s -ions, but from tbe Jattrr hour be gradually sank deeper and deeper

into tbe deatbly stupor, tbat sped past the power of physic or pbvsician, far into tbe eternal land of dreams. It was about six o'clock in tbe evening tbat his lite, which bad ebbed slowly, without struggle and peacelully away, bad gone out completely. He was dead, and past all help or needofnelp. We.can dwell no longeron these sad scenes. Tbe town of Patoka was already in mourning last evening, the cbnrcb bells tolling out the solemn fucerai note, and every one telling in his countenance the one event of the hour. No man ever bad sincerer following tban will be witnessed there, nor was there protounder sorrow within a similar circle, over this ai most tragic end of a man so loved and so esteemed. The funeral wii te held Wednesday morning a 10 o'clock from bi late residence in Patoka, end tbos from Lere can attend by taking tbe morning train on tbe Evancville fc Craw I rdvihe road. They will b enabled to be present at the bervices and to return on the noon train.
