TI,e FINANCES OF the Second Municipality
The Della and the True Delta both comment on
the vote Of the Council refusing publish the let
ter from the Treasurer, which states fully the in
solvent condition of the Municipality. The True
Delta has fallen into some errors Of fact, which we
are confident it will correct. The vote to publish
this report was strictly party one, every whig
voting for its publication, every democrat for its
suppression with independent, or 'tondeScyipt.
The yeas were ive--Hawthorn, Marks, Renshaw,
Sykes and Shakespear. Nays-Hale, Qnd,) Hoo
per, Johnson, Mccormick, Pride, Sewell, Stewart
and Yancey-s.
The True Delta charges the present embarrass-
ment on the former Admins tration. This is a
subject we shall be glad to discuss with that paper
1t is matter of figures, which We can examine
without the use Of hard words eithe." toward each
other, or to the gentlemen who have i.or SO many
years been entrusted with the conduct OF public
affairs. The True Delta closes its lecture to the
majority who suppressed the official pubiit alton
with these words
As this Council was elected on parg gPn9d %, and g

Now, the Council stands wings and demo-

wings but votes with the democrats IL Is not

on them the responsibility of the Administration,
The wing Aldermen have been obliged to lend
their notes to raise money to pay even the few who
have received instalments of their debts. Many
of the employees have not received dollar for two
months. We all remember the terrible cutlery be-
cause the payment Of the teachers deferred for
q few days. And it was a strong argument in
SAVIOR OF reform. The people, therefore, have a
right to demand from the new Administration an
account of their proceedings, and that the cause OF
the present unfortunate and disgraceful condition Of
tire finances should be known. Instead of suppress
ing information, they should be the first to pro-
mulgate it. We publish to-day the letter of the
Treasurer:
