Mayor Wood says he hiss no control over the
large expenses Of the AIMS House Governors and
the Board Of Education. But ever since 1858 tho
City Charter has required all the estimates for
these branches Of government to be sub nisted to
BosId Of Cor missioners-ha.eful term-cOnsist-
ing of the Mayor, Controller, President OF the
Aldermen, President of the Csancilmen, and until
this year the Recorder also II a msjoIisy of this
Board approve the estimates they send them along
to tie Board Of Supervisors; if they di'approTe,
hey 90 back TO the Governors and the Board OF
Education, where il requires two thirds OF the
Boards to maintain them, as nothing bat such
two thirds vote can overcome the objections Of
the Mayor. Whatever the extravaganza msy have
been in thtse brancher, it has been sanctioned By
Mayer Wood and the Democratic Supervisors.
The Auditing Board for this year consists Of Mayor
Weed, Aid. Clancy Councilman PHILIPPE, and Goa
troler Faeg-three Wood men to Oce peoples
nan. Tie cOn,entpg Supervisors stand about u
or Is Wood men to or opposition the Ten
Governors ere equally divided in politics, and the
Board Of Education is largely Democratic What
ever Mr.. Wood shifts from his own shoulders,
therefore, still falls upon bis immediate friends and
political hackers.

fix it on the City Treasury and the Legislature st
Albany. But then, as it seems to us, our attful
Mayor bss carried this dodge a little too far. II
bis speech proves anything, it proves good deal
too much. According to the view which he pre-

Mayor, according to the exposition which this
sresch presents, has become, under the blasting
irnuetoe of Black Republican legislation, utterly
poverles,, at least for any good. He has no c,r-
troll over expenditures. The departments are
sealed books petty prncipalities in which he can
not write, AID over which he can exercise no

A Son Swindling His Father.

-
The Philadelphia Sunday Transcript
gives the following account of a most
heartless swindle, perpetrated BY a young
man upon his father. which stamps him
as a young villain in a rapid state of prep
~aration in the State Prison:
At an early hour on Friday morning, q
rough specimen of q Huntington county
farmer made his appearance at the cen
trail depot Of criminal justice in Phila-
delphia. with a complaint against his son,
1t seems that, about a month ago, the son
aforesaid, determined to have t" his native
heath" and came on a visit to the City
of Brotherly Love. Little Chsar-"he
came-he saw--he conquered be-
fore he achieved the victory, he engaged
board at a city hotel. While there, he
found very agreeable company in a body
Of youth, whose morals were not first
class, and who were Of the artful dodg-
err order.
But funds, like woman'sI love, are evan.
escent, and so our second "Norval" found
His financial liabilities exceeded his rev.
enue, and one of the Charley Bates" OF
his friendship formed a plan to replenish
the treasury.
The son of his father" wrotefo his
paternal ancestor, and stated that he had
drawn a prize Of $4,000 in lottery, and
that the money was deposited in Adams
Express in this city. Before the dollars
could be obtained however, the son sta
ted that there were sundry expenses to be
met in the fleeing of lawyers, &C., In this
city, and which expenses amounts to up
wards of S400. This sum he requested
his father to send him, and at the same
time that he made this request, sent let
tiers purporting to be from certain legal
| gentlemen of Philadelphia in relation to
4 the n,4tf OF course these were all
forged.
The father, en- receipt of the precious
documents, hurried from his hearth, and
sent word for his son to meet him at Har,
risburg. "They metl" The elderly
gentleman forked over the required NOR!
ey, and the son took the train for some
spot or spots unknown. The parent, OH
reaching home, and remaining there about
a week, began to look for the $4,000
that was coming. He looked again and
again, and at last came to the decided
and emphatic conclusion that he had been
"sold' by his offspring.
There is not much flial love up in
Huntington. and the enraged and duped
father threatened vengeance dire on the
head of the offender. He came post haste
by railroad to this city, and having ascer-
tanned the Whereabouts of the Mayors
office, entered his complaint. High Cor<

extent, and told him the best thing he
could do was to go home and trust to the
detectives, and the conscience of his son

Spectacle Mania.

A New DISEASE FOR THE DoCToRs.-
We recorded about a week ago, the case
in which an elderly gentleman was rubb-
ed of his gold spectacles, by a yelled fe-
male, at Ninth and Willow streets. Since
then, the following remarkable statement
has been handed us, but as to it's authen
ITCHY we cannot vouch.
1t seems that a Miss G., who sons
time since lived on Race street, near
Eleventh, lately by death of relatives be.
came a millionaire. She then married an
Englishman, who had peculiarly sharp
eyes behind a brilliant pair of gold spec
tacles. In a months time this i~nsinua-
ting fortune hunter wheedled the trusting
lady out of most of her fortune, anu
made of for tracks unknown, leaving Miss
q. to lament ever having conided her
heart to O sharp-eyed man who wore large
gold spectacleS, and soft sawders wealthy
young heiresses.
Since this occurrence, the young lady
has been partly insane and restless. She
travels from city to city, with her face
closely concealed in a black veil, and now
comes the %strangest portion of the stor3:
She walks about streets closely observing
all male persons. and whenever she meets
one with gold specifics on, she walks
boldly up to him, snatches the saline from
his nose, and makes her escape before tho
summarily unspectacled gent RECEIVERS
from the sudden shock to his optics. 1t
hasnot yet been ascertained what she does
with the booty, but it is presumed that
she intends making up for her lost fortune
by this black mail on spectacles wsarers
generally.-PhM Journal.
