Where the remainder Of the seventy thou
sand dollars has gone it is impossible to say;
but we can form some idea Of how it il wasted
by sn analysis OF the items with which We are
favored. The Daily Ne,cs was paper of little
circulation and avowed secession sentiments, and
died long before the close of the year 1861; yet
we find it drawing some thousands of the public
money The Express named above is the mora
ing Express which never had any circulation
to speak of, and has long since deceased. The
Concaero;d Advertiser and gtsniag Post are
journals Of very small circulation, and are
seldom read except by their own contri-
bulors OF the Transcript We never heard
until this report of tue Comptroller. and upon
diigent inquiry we find il to be paper which
legally no circulation whatever.
Yet upon such papers as these, which alto
gether. at their best times, did not circulate
more than ten thousand copies. nearly fifty
thousand dollars were thrown away, a,d
twenty thousand more are devoted TO the susie
nance Of a parcel of weeklies, Of doubtful no.
rality and Of hardly any circulation. Now, for
less than half the money, the HERALD would
have given the Corporation advertisements the
wide publicity Of its daily issue OF one hundred
thousand copies. and thss saved to the city an
immense amount Of money and trouble, and
given the advertisements real instead Of a pre-
tended publication. But the fact Is that
the Common Councilmen do not wish she public
to see what they are about, and we could not
do them worse service than 10 pub,ish--as we
shall some dsy---s batch Of their advertisements
in the HERALD, where they will be knows and
reed Of all men. Therefore tie Corporation

city Is swindled, and few hangers on ct tbs

tbs in such trMh as this that Al tAs sma!l
change Of the confedsraoy is made. No wonder
that we have constant reports Of refusals to 60
enlist in the rebel army; for the soldiers are
paid in such money a. these shinplasters, and
arc in no hurry to do double service for such
pay. With these specimens before us, we can
better appreciate the patriotism of that rebel
regiment Of Mississippians who, it is said, tore
up the notes handed to them, declaring thai
they did not fight for money; for such money
they doubtless meant; and tearing it up was
about the best thing they could do with it.
The opponents Of our issue of Treasury
notes contend that they will degrade Our
currency to the same level as that of the
South. On the contrary, when the Tax
bill is passed, and the government is thus
enabled to pay promptly in specie the in
terest on its bonds, our national notes will
have firm specie basis, and be more reliable
than those of any of our banks. Thus far there
has been no noticeable deficiency Of specie st
the North; and, If there should be any, Post
Office stamps would be far better substitute
for small change than these shinplastsrs
