night, and let them hear the truth.


The Controller yesterday submitted his annua
estimate of the appropriations necessary for the
support of the County Government for the year
1861. In the Legislative Department 1856, 400
is asked for-of this large sum, $50, 900 is for
election expenses alone; $4,000 for advertising;
5000 for County contingencies; $4,000 for
new jail; $4,000 for lighting, cleaning and sup
plies for County Offices; $4,000 for printing and
stationery; for map repairs, $4,000; for salanes'
s. 400 The Executive Department asks Tor
s., 792, 237-of which deficiencies III taxes eat
up sos 600: the construction OF Harlem Bridge
takes $50, coo; interest on loans, S9o,ooo;
Police fund. 81 800, $50; law expenses Sll ,loo;
rents. $4,000; salaries S63, 800; supplies for
Police. $50. OO0; and support of witnesses, ana
new house for their detention, Sl2,2o'. Inc
Judiciary absorb S276, 370-of which Sl5,ooo Is
for Coroner's fees; $4,000 for officers ana
witnesses fees; and ;s22l,37O for salaries OF the
Judiciary For miscellaneous purposes, 81 1885,
AK % ia asked-of this sum, Sil5,559 is for the
Conmon Schools of the State; 81 400 for the Blind
Asylum: $40 500 for the Juvenile Asylum; Sooo
for State Iunatic Asylum, $50 for Idiot Asylum,
ord S1 COG Oc6 30 for State taxes. The tota
estimated amount needed for County purposes
81. 81. 400 80, of which $4,000 is received in
the shape of license and other fees, and fines i'm
posed BY the Criminal Courts, leaving Si,3l4,-
422 80 TO be raised by taxation. This is an in-
crease of 1926, la 70 upon the tax of the pres
ent year. The Controller argues against the
ruinous system of borrowing in advance oil the
annual tax levy, in order to meet the expenses
of the County. The interest on the County bonds
issued for this purpose last year was no less than
S74, S97 II, which is exclusive of still larger
amount for interest on similar loans upon the
Revenue bonds of the Corporation. draft of
a law is submitted for the earlier collection OF
the taxes, in order to avoid the necessity of bor-
rowing The Controller touches upon the ques-
ton of furnishing more suitable accommodations
for the Courts and suggests that, in view of the
disturbed state of public affairs, the Taxpayers
have the right to expect that extraordinary ex-
penditure, unless imperatively necessary, should
be postponed to a more prosperous future.

DEFENSE OF CHARLESTON.

1t is stated by way of excuse, we suppose, for
the comparatively defenseless condition in which
the Notifications of Charleston harbOr are left,
that the President has received assurances that
those forts will not be attacked nor the collection
of duties interfcred with during the continuance
of his administration. Assurances from whom
We are not aware of anybody who stands just
now in position to give such assurances. 1t
certainly cannot be the Governor who is about to
retire from office to make room for a successor.
Neither do we find among the doings of the South
Carolina Legislature any assurances of this sort.
There are proposals for putting the State into
military attitude, but no resolution thai We have
seen to keep the peace till the fourth of
March. Who is there authorized to speak for
the Convention just about to meet and
whose members elect are filled, it is said,
with the hottest desires for instant and total
separation from the Union! If secession means
anything, it means the putting an end to every
exercise of the powers of Government by the
United States within the limits of South Carroll
Ma. And how can that be so long as Fort MOul-
trie is held by Federal garrison, and the juris-
diction of the United States acknowledged by all
vessels entering or leaving the harbor of Charles
tom That harbor is, in fact, the very part of
South Carolina without the possession OF which
the talk of secession and independence is all
moonshne.
We trust the President will not allow himself
to be seduced into neglect of his duty by assur-
ances from any quarter Adequate means for
defending Fort Moultrie, present therein, are
far better guaranty for its security than anybody's
assurances Besides, the President must recOllect
that it is his duty not only to hold possession of
Fort Moutrie and Charleston IlarbOr so long as
his official term continues, but TO take care that
they come into the hands of his successor. Should
Fort Moultrie, for want of sufficient garrison,
fall into the hands of the secessionsts on the 9Th
of March, Mr.. Buchanan would be just az much
responsible as if the event had taken place
month earlier As to the excuse for not send
ing reGnforcements, that to do SO might
excite the anger of the seccssOnists, and perhaps
stimulate them to attack Fort Moutrie, the an
swer is obvious. 1t is plain enough that nothing
at this moment prevents the attempted seizure
of the Notifications in Charleston harbOr, except
apprehensions of the approximations
which wo1ld not be diminished by doubling
or quadrupling the garrison.
The time is past for any special delicacy about
pleasing or disPeasing the South Carolina seces-
sionists. They openly proclaim their intention of
going out of the Union, and treadng the stripes
and stars under foot The only security the
President can have that Fort MOultrie will not be
violently seized upon is the presence there of o
force sufficient to protect it.

Mr.. Iverson Of Georgia rode the taest kind Of
disuniOn hobby in the Senate yesterday. In the
debate which followed, Messrs. Douglas and
Pugh appeared in the novel roles of defenders OF
the Free States. No action was taken on Mr.
Powell's resolution to appoint Cancellation Com
mittee. In the Senate, things seem to be rapidly
tending to the conclusion that if the Cotton States
want to quit the Union, the best thinStO be done
is to let them pack their trunks and start.

Alfred Buchanan, the supposed murderer of
Mrs Shancks the widow lady who resided at
No. % East Twelfth street, was yesterday brought
to this city a prisoner, having been arrested at
Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. He is young man
who has been subject to severe fits nearly all his life,
and as q consequence is not of sound mind. He
is the person alluded to in the evidence before
the Coroner as the "yOung carpenter The
prisoner asserts his innocence of the crime i'm
puted to him, but evidence of such character
has been obtained as to leave little doubt of his
guilt. A report will be found in another column

President Buchanan finds it difficult to fill the
vacancy in his Cabinet. Nobody wants to sue
coed Mr.. Howell Cobb. The Hon. Lucius
O'Brien Branch, NJ. c. from North Carolina,
was honOred with an invitation, but declines.
Meanwhile that distinguished son of Connecticut,
the Hon. Isaac Toucey, temporarily discharges
the functions of the departed Secessionist Secre-
tary. Who will next be hOnOred with the offer
of the place is not known. In behalf of this
City, we beg to suggest the Hon. George Briggs,
NJ. c. from the With District, as an available
candidate. His appointment would satisfy all
parties 1t does him less than justice to say
that he would make thousand times better Sec
rotary than the defunct Cobb.

Hitherto the Hon. John Cochrane and the
Hon. D. Z. Sickles, both of whom the people
have just emphatically repudiated, have done the
talking for US at Washington. Now, however,
we are enabled to record the fact that Mr..
George Law has appeared there announcing the
approaching secession from the Union of this
City and its establishment as a free port. The
idea, we believe, originated with the Hon. j.
and the Hon. L. Brooks, but Law has made it
his own. Perhaps, before Mr.. Law assumes to
express the wishes of the people Of New-York,
he had better pay them the large sums of money
he owes them, and otherwise comply with the
laws and his own agreements. Mr.. Law may
plumber the City, but he can't speak for 1t.
