the City from three to FIVE dollars for
ride of less than mile, sometimes less than
eighty rods. This also was abandoned--or II not,
it was sbrewdly covered up; and the pubic
have been resting easy in the belief that thi'
particular gouge was done with. But on look
ing over the Controllers reports of bills PAID LOT
the first three months in 1855, we md paio 10
Mr.. Van Ranst for the said three months over t1o
thousand fire hundred dollars for carriage h'Te Jer
Numbers offhe Common Council. Here is reform,
with an afterpiece. The Aldermen aud Coun-
ciImen take their four dollars day as Legis-
lators, four dollas as Excisemen, and the Alder
men two dollars per day as Supervisors, and
then charge the people at the rate of ten thou
sand dollars year for carriage hire
How many other leaks Of this sort there are
at which the itching palms Of the City officers
are held, we cannot say. Perhaps we may
guess at some of them when the bills of the year
are made public. Men who take ten thousand
dollars year in this way are not likely to miss
the chances that offer under the manifold
operations of our Treasury. Already we have
paid out quarter of million more this year
than in the same eriod of 1854, the year OF IN
surpassed expenditure, and the prospect is that
the frightfu total of last December OF nearly
four millions for the City Government, will be
raised to at least four and three-quarters if not
five millions, for this year of reform. Where is
this wholesale peculation to stop

THE OLD sX1yDLE.

There must be some miasma in the atmosphere
Of the City Hall that is fatal to honesty. Men
who have borne the most irreproachable char
acter in all their business relations, upon being
elected to the Common Council seem suddenly
TO find their cid notions of honor paralyzed, aud
commence the pluckng of the public goose with
as little conjunction Of conscience as though
they had been at il all their lives. When our
Aldermen had no salaries the people expected
to stand something liberal in the way Of . con-
tingencies." But when they found this con-
venient word merely cover for drunkenness
and petty Plundering, they brought about a
change, and fixed a salary Of 81 daily during
the time Of the session instead of perquisites.
The tes-room was broken up and only upon rare
occasions were the Common Council permitted
to eat and drink at the public expense. One Of
the worst swindles under the perquisits rule
was carriage hire Aldermen often charging
