Mayor Wood sent q Message to the Common
Council last night giving those worthless an over
hauling for not attending to plans for reform
which he made in his manifesto Of the lst of
January. He complains that the suggestions
then made, covering wide field for legislative
work, have not been acted upon nor even con-
sidered and thinks that the important character
of his plans should have Overborne minor busi-
ness. The tenor of his communication 10 to
throw upon the Common Council the response
bility Of the nom fulfllment of the promises OF
reform which he then made. Among these
were the improvement Of the public finances
to secure increased revenue without increased
taxation; the reduction of expenditures; the
stoppage Of peculstion, and the entire eradica-
ton of the sharks who are everlastingly around
the Council Chambers and Departments; also
the guarding of the public health, and the in
creasing of commercial facilities. The Mayor re-
fers particularly to few items in his Introductory

noticed The condition and efficiency Of the Po-
lice Department is another topic which the Mayor
has overlooked. But perhaps he has accomplished
all the reforms in that branch of the service that
be contemplated II SO, the public would be very
happy to see the list of appointments made since
the Ist of January that they may have the pleasure
of making the acquaintance of the new guardians
of their lives and property. Altogether this mos
sage of the Mayor does not show us anything that
has been done, nor anything that il to BIO done,
but puts upon the shoulders Of the Common Coun-
ell the responsibility of carrying out the reforms
promised by him and not by them. With regard
to the rapid increase of expenses for City Govern
ment he is profoundly silent but this omission 70
of less consequence, as the Controllers Repors
appears with the message. We commend the
stubborn facts and figures Of Mr.. Flagg to the In
terested reader.

THE CONTROLLERs REPORT.

The Annual Report of the Controller pub
lished in accordance with the Charter, two months
before election, was laid before the Common
Council last night 1t embraces the financial op-
erations of the City Government for the year end
ing July /, 1855. 1t is hardly probable that the
taxpayers of New-York can be astonished at any
thing in the way Of expenses, but the enormous
sums set forth in this Report ought to arrest the
attention of every person who has an interest IN
the property and Government of the City Among
the leading items Of expense are nearly S6OOOO0
for the Aims House $4,000 fer the City In
spector's Department $265, 900 for Cleaning
Streets $235, 900 for interest on money borrowed

Lamps and Gas; Ss3O,OOO for the Po-
lice; 100000 for Printing 100000 for
Repairs and Supplies; sl63,OOo for Street
Repairs, $685. 600 for Salaries, SSl5, 900 for Com
mon Schools in the City, Sl62, 900 for Common
Schools for the State, and 1919 600 for the State
mill tax. For the other items We refer to the
tables published in the report. The entire

proKpOCKETs IN THE CITY HA

PICKPOCKETS IN THE CITY HALL.
A table annexed to the Controllers Report in this
mornings TRIBUNE gives the sums taken from the
Treasury for carriage hire by such members of the
Common Council as mean to make the most OF
their chances to plumber the people. The table
embraces one year, commencing on the LIST OF July
1854. For the ak months ending in December,
the Aldermen got 1888 25, and the Councilmea
% $40 so; but this was quite two modest for
their appetites for in the next six months the AL
dermen took $l,2s2 so and the Councilman
1921 the Mayor for the same half-year getting
$3.50; making the entire expense for carriage hire
for one year 1851 25. 1t ispossible that Of all
this sum there might have been thousand
dollars honestly and pardOnably charged to
the people; but the other six thousand Is
downright shameless robbery, without even the
shadow Of excuse. Look, for instance, at the
charges of "Bill Drake" about the poorest
stick for legislator ever elected, even to
New.York Common Council. He lives in Forty
eighth-street, a few steps from the Eighth
avenue, where the railroad cars (Which run all
sigbt) are constantly passing; yet he manages
to get $26i 75 for carriage hire; enough to pay
five thousand three hundred fares on the rail.
road on which, for half the year certainly, and
perhaps the whole, we presume he enjoyed a
free ticket. Whatever this money may have
been taken for, it will probably be charged to
official duties as one of the Committee on Re-
pairs and Supplies and the Committee on Roads.
Then look at AID. Boardman's grab for the last
six months of his term. Boardman was elected
as "Reformer' from the Eleventh Ward; and
so he reformed" the Treasury out Of Sl67 for
the last half Of his reforming" official exist
ence.
But the Cogia Houssain Of this precious band
of Forty, is Alderman Howard Of the Sixth
Ward. From January to July this free and in
Dependent representative took SSSS IS for rid
ing, q pretty handsome arno ant for man who
lives in the same Ward and within six short
blocks Of the City Hall. Aid. Howard, how
ever, never pretended to be In favor OF reform;
and il he goes on in this way he need not fear
losing his character as an opponent of the re-
tIenchmeht fogies.
The Councilman named in the table have
done very well for green hands Between
seeley ard Cono,er the strife has been close,
bet seeley has laid Dan out, having got siGj %
10 the Pfesidents siGO. Others have been
satissed with smaller purses, ranging from sgco
down 10 less than $40.

Orr MINISTER'S TO NICARAGUA.

Some fatality seems TO hang over that unfor-
tupate mission to Nicaragua. A black shade
rests forever mournfully upon it. Our Minis
tiers to Nicaragua seem predestined to col.
lisiors with representations in which they
also seem destined to come of second best.

salary Of $4,000 year, 10 enjoying the sweet
evening air in the City CT Greytown, an inso-
lent negro filings bottle at his head and puts
his nose out of joint The fate of Mr.. Minister
Wheeler 10 still more deplorable. He gets into
q squabble with negro woman, by name Jane
Johnson, out Of which he comes, if not with
broken nose, with what is still worse-a de-
cidedly damaged reputation for truth and veracl-
ty. The testimony of Jane johnson given on
the late trial at Philadelphia fully convicts Mr..
Wheeler Of having on previous occasions, and
among others that Of the trsversiDg Of Passmore
Williamson's return to Judge Kane's writ Of
habeas corpus, told story completely false,
and, as there is too much reason to believe, de-
liberate,y and msiiciously false.
To retrieve the honor of the United States,

istration caused Greytown to be bombarded and
destroyed. What steps they will take to afford
relief to Il en- selves and Mr.. Minister Wheeler,
in the case of his damaged reputation for verac.
ity, vet remains to be seen. This appears to be
a case to which the simple and convenient
remedy of bombardnent by ship oi-war, re .
sorted to in the case Of Mr.. Borland' Is NOT
precisely applicable. If the Marshal had oniy
succeeded in nabbing Jane johnson, while enc

court, the whole matter might have been set

the United States would have been speedily and
amply avenged ON Jane JohnsOns person. As
matters stand we confess ourselves very much
in the dark as to how either the United States
or Mr.. Wheeler is to be avenged; aud still more
so as to how his damaged reputation is to be
