THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE HoAx.-The re-

THE FRAUDS IN The FINANCE DErAETNESr--
INVESTIGATION by EE JOINT Committee on Ac-
CorNTs.-The Joint Committee on Accounts are
progressing with their work of investigation
into the frauds in the Finance Department
They are in permanent occupation of room IL,
in the basement Of the City Hall, where they
will continue their labors until the arduous task
but q few weeks since they commenced, and
they are consequently not in positions to re-
port progress at present, but IL is their inten-
ton TO make monthly reports to the Mayor and
Common Council as they proceed
They have begun with the contracts, ASSESS
ments and work done since 1850 examining all the
payments made, with view to discover whether
the work in the Street department has been
done according 10 contract and specification,
and whether the assessors have honestly per-
formed their part Of the duty. They then de-
sign TO follow the assessment lists TO the Col
lector's department. and ascertain whether that
Official has kept his accounts faithfully. In the
Bureau Of Arrears department established in
1864, and where oil the unpaid taxes, assess
ments and Croton water liens amounting since
that time to several million) are deposited
they have already found that not single dollar
has been charged to the head of that depart
ment This arises from the neglect Of the Street
Commissioner in preparing his returns To
such On extent have the frauds and delinquen
cies reached that the Chairman of the Board of
Assessors would net receive a. correct a sin gle
ne Of the returns. The committee are of
opinion that the accumulation Of this business
is now so great that il will be impossible for the
Finance Department ever to ses IL right. Up

than the success or failure of any preceding ad-
ministrstion Of the last half century All men
will admit the ability and experience of Mr..
Buchanan; all must concede the ability and
harmony of his Cabinet; nor can any man
honestly question his conscientious discharge Of
his great responsibilities. SO far, then, as the
Cabinet is concerned we may say that we could
not have one more cOnsnicuousiy representing
a powerful and united national party But.
apart from the administration, all the signs of
unity and power in the party have ceased
to exist. Its opponents in Congress are Is dis
cordant as the tongues Of Babel. Neither in
the House nor in the Senate is there anything
of fixed discipline or order in the ranks Sec
tional disorganlzers, plotting consplrators and
desperate demagogues have entered upon their
work. OBJECTIONS, corruptions, imbecilities and
factious triekeries have utterly demoralixed the
camp.
The end will probably be- first the ruin Of
the administration, and next, the total rout the
final dissolution and dispersion of the party,
never to rise again. These are the signs of the
times, from the proceedings in Congress upon
Kansas. the Army bill, the Mormons, the fill
busters and other subjecte They are significant
of an mperdng political revolution and recon
struction Of parties, of the most tremendous
and startling proportions; for party corruption
and decentralization are but the beginning of
political anarchy. The events Of day may
determine the destinies Of the country for
generations to come. We await the events Of
the day.
