CONDITION or ruE FINANCE DEPARTMENT
STATEMENT or HOMER TRANKLN.-We publish
in another column letter from Homer Franklin
in reply TO communication from some Of the
leading tax payers in the city, relative to his
labors in connection with the Joint Committee
Of Accounts. II Is very clear and satisfactory
exposition Of the mode in which the affairs Of the

no man Is better acquainted than Mr.. Franklin,
TO whose efficiency and ability the public arc in
debted for the exposure Of many frauds In the
city government, as well as s,c suggestion Of
many remedies for the dsgracefI condition now
existing in the public affairs Of this city.
In the communication referred to, Mr.. Franklin

most dcplorablc confusion, and worse than confii-

fraud and plumber have been tacitly sanctioned by
the incapacity Of the present incumbent Mr.
Franklin proposes a remedy, which will at once
strike any sensible man as the only available
one namely the auditing of every account in
the Finance Department, which has never been
done, by competent and faithful accountant

BY the present system Of irresponsible depart
mcnts, with no one to check them, there is no
limit to the fraud which may be committed; and
to meet this difficulty Mr.. f. proposes that the

Mr.. Franklin has been now engaged for
eighteen months on the work of unrayclling the

GERRT SMITH STIRRING Up THE BLACK Re-
PuBLrCANs.-From the dreadful complaints Of the
Hon. Massa Greeley, it is pretty evident that
Gerrit Smith--the candidate Of the Temperance
and freedom" party, pure and simple, for Cover
nor-is doing considerable damage in the black
republican camp. Greeley calls the attention of
Mr. Smith to the fact that Is, 200 opposition votes
in this State, in 1874, thrown away upon Birney
elected Mr.. Polk President and argues that Mr..
Smith is now laboring, on smaller scale, to
bring about similar result. No doubt this is
exactly what he is after in order to rebuke the
Seward party of this State for their humbugging
and shutting course upon the great issues Of
temperance and freedom" As il is possible,
too that Mr.. Smith may carry of not fifteen
thousand but fifty thousand votes in November,
he will be very apt to finish up this other
