MoEE PLrNDEENG AND BuNDERNo IN OUR
MUNICIPAL ArFAIRs.-It Is not the fault Of the
newspapers IL the citizens of New York are not
thoroughly awakened to the enormity of the
frauds that have been and are being perpetrated
upon the city treasury. Since the exposure Of
the fort Ganscvoort and Lowbcr operations. over
twelvemonth since, not week has passed by
without bringing TO light frauds committed by
this, that and the other city official. A commit
tee Of the Board Of ouncilmen presented q report
last fall, in which they showed that millions Of
dollars collected in taxes were unaccounted for
by the collectors; that there was no system Of
check king their accounts observed in the depart
ment Of the Comptroller; that the bureau Of ar
rearagcs was low In arrcar Of business and made
no returns Of the hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars thai found their way from the pockets Of the
tax payers into those Of the tax collectors. and
there remained; and that in fact from the highest
10 the lowest official, all were engaged in the
grab game. The publication Of the report Of
that special committee caused our citizens 10
open their eyes In astonishment but after a few
DAYS the whole matter fell into oblivion. Ras-
City Surveyors and tax collectors continued
their depredations and our stupid old Comptroller
remained In ignorance Of their doings, while
some Of bis own subordinates helped to BAN
boozle him. to play the game Of the public rob
Der and 10 help drain the city treasury.
And 70 from that day to this, this
plundering and laundering goes on without
check. and almost without notice. except
from the newspapers The scoundrcls
inside Of the City Hall conspire and combine
with scoundrels outside; and while the taxes,
wrung from tho hard hands Of toll are being di-
ycrtcd 70 the purposes Of rogues the watch dog
Of the treasury snoozes away in unconscious
ignorance, only waking up and snarling occa-
sionally when some honestly earned account il
presented for payment
As another small instalment Of the informa-
ton already given to the public through our
columns. on the subject Of these municipal frauds.
we published some days since a communication
from the Street Commissioner to the Board Of
Councilmen setting out some further discoveries
that have been made In bis great ash heap Of an
Office II seems that while acting as chiecnier in
that precious concern, picking out here and
there something Of value, the present head Of 1t
has discovered that under the administration Of
the late Collector Of Assessments Joseph r.
Taylor-deiciencie TO the known extent Of
100000 have accumulated, and to what further
extent God only knows. Whether the def
ciencies-to use polite word for stealing
10 be imputed 10 the Collector Of Assessments or
10 HE assistants, or to the Street Commissioner,
or ITO anybody else in particular, has not been
found out, and OF course, from the absence Of all
system in the keeping Of our city accounts, never
will be. All that is known is that by the means

THE QUARANTINE LocATIoN.--It is now pretty
evident that the Quarantine cannot, as it ought
not to, be re-established at Staten Island How
ever obstinate the Commissioners of Emil
grafton may be, or however wrong headed
Mayor Tiemann may prove himself the pco-
pie Of the island are of one mind as to the course
they will adopt with regard to any buildings
erected there for quarantine purposes We per-
ceive that the very same Commissioners who last
year decided upon Seguin's Point as site for
the Quarantine, at their meeting in Albany
yesterday, have declared that the Quarantine
should not be located ON land, but propose to
build basins in the lower bay, with floating hos
pitfalls in them. This is all very well; but at the
same time Sandy Hook would be the proper
place for Quarantine hospitals, if we could get it
for that purpose, until the system is abolished
If we cannot, the floating hospitals might be
adopted at whatever cost, and the Quarantine
institution established in them. In any event,
we must have no more pesthouses on Staten
Island.
Negotiations have also been opened with the
government for a large war ship as floating
hospital; the North Carolina has been proposed
but the Pennsylvania would perhaps be
better ship, as she is larger and has never been
to sea. Until arrangements can be made to abo-
lish Quarantine altogether, which must be done
sooner or later, the Pennsylvania might answer
the purposes Of a hospital.

the nature Of which we confess ourselves COM
pletely ignorant--it Is found that one deputy
collector has received the nice little SUM of
$34,2O4 more than he has accounted for; another
$S6,263; and so on. How much of such pilfer-
ings the condensers fail to show may be left to
the imagination of our readers; and with the
lights they have already had before them on the
subject Of City Hall plundering and laundering
there is little danger of their imagination leading
them into very exaggerated assumption.
Another report has been prepared by the Joint
Committee on Accounts, and ia now ready for
presentation to the Common Council supplying
a further instalment in this monstrous history of
Official frauds. This report applies to the accounts
of the Collector of Assessments for the three
years from 1853 to lS56-the term Immediately
preceding that to which the report Of the Street
Commissioner referred to above, applies-and it
reveals another chapter in the history of these
glazing depredations. 1t shows that these frauds
have been perpetrated in various waysLby or
rors in footing up the assessment lists, by assess
ments paid and not accounted for, and by assess
ments accounted for, but not actually paid into
the Treasury. Receipts have been exhibited to
the committee in twenty-five cases, showing an
aggregate amount of s7,9l9 20 paid to de-
putty collectors, Of which no returns are made;
and these are but specimens of class which re-
presents in the aggregate probably some hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
How long these things are to last, how long
the hard working men Of the city are to be plum
derod by corrupt officials, depends altogether
upon themselves SO long as our voters can re-
medy the evil by electing to Office none but
honest men, regardless Of party or faction, they
have but themselves to blame when knaves and
fools get into Office. Will our citizens ponder
this and be wise?
