An ITEM OF SwINDLING.--Dur1ng the
month of May the expenses Of the 'ofamous tea
nom amounted to seren hundred aqf too dollars
and eighty cents. Every cent OF that sum was a
bsse shameless and most unwarrantable taxing
from the treasury Of the people, done by body
Of me n who are amply paid for everything that
they do for the City. They have no more right
70 feed at the public expense than we have, and
no honest man would do It.
ANOTHER ITEM OF SwINDLING.-The
Aldermen of this City draw from the Treasury
hur dollars per day for eight days in month, as
ful compensation for their services. Not one of

they have the unblushing offrontery to stake"
from the peoples almost empty treasury, fifteen
hundred and thirty one dollars and Hiaety-ose
CENTS for refreshments in their Infamous Tea Room
during the single month Of June And these are
the fellows who roll up their hypocritcal eyes and

STILL ANOTHER ITEM OF SwINDLING.-
During the month Of May the Common Councils

that in almost every instance considerably more
than the legal fare was paid for hacks, &c. And
still the Aldermen claim that they are honest,
when il private citizen should be bled in the
same way by hack drivers, the offenders would be
severely fined for the robbery.
