AM TO SOLDIERS, FAMILIES.

Much anxiety prevails respecting the families
of soldiers who until recently have been re-
ceiyiug aid from the city, tho last Of tho ap
propriation of million Of dollars for their ben
eft having been disbursed on the 9Th instant
And this anxiety 10 enhanced by the fact thai
the city authorities arc without power to raise
more money no authority having been given to
them by the Legislature. Although this relc'
WINS undertaken without law, it was in answer
TO the demand of stern necessity, which was
felt by all classes--not less by the city who
borrowed than by capitalists who loaned
upon securities which at the time were Illegal.
An army was needed. and men were willing u
90 if their families could be helped. The Leg
is!aturc was not in session; but oil were will
ing to trust that, upon assembling, any Palri'
otto act of tho corporation would meet
ready appreciation. Under this stimulus,
million of money was voted, for the Union De-
tense Committee and two loans of $500, COO
ench in aid of soldiers families. Contrary,
however, to general expectation, an opposition
sprung up which threatened to defeat action
and it was not without great effort that the
necessary legislation was finally (at late date
in the session) procured. The Common Council,
in view of this, were not led to expect that
repetition of their previous action would meet
with favor. or that an application for an act
to authorize further loans Of tho same nature
would bo successful, aud it is therefore not
strange that tho session passed AWAY without
their making the attempt.
II is, however surprising thai so obvious
duty as that which the State owes to its SOL
diers and to their families should thus pass
without attention. This matter was first and
foremost in Legislative Importance, and should
have received the first consideration. What
the City Of Ncw-YOrk has done was commend
able as gratuity, or charity, but 1t was
never done as duty. Now that Congress is
in session, with ample power to legslate upon
every branch of the question pertaining to our
National defense, it would seem that no obi
CATION rested upon the City Of New-YOrk to
volunteer further unauthorized gratuities. Let
tho soldiers from this city understand our
position, and allotments OF wages would DO sent
here as they are elsewhere. aud not wasted at
tho suffers. II extreme cases exist, there are
svenuss open, the ordinary charities being
ample to prevent distress.
The Common Council has not given emphatic
expression upon this point as yet, but it ought
not to recede from the position inferred from
the failure of the Legislature to take action
during tho Winter. Having no authority DOW,
any effort it might make in the present aspect
of affairs would but injure the credit Of the
city and be productive of no good result.
They should 90 act a. to relieve those inter-
ested from anxiety, and thereby enable the
needy to write to their husbands, asking Tor
the long deferred allotments.

TIE OPERATIONS OF THE

Some idea ef the increased magnitude OF the
financial transactions of the Government, con-
seauent upon the war, may be gained IRON the
