The Herald's Washington dispatch
says:
Among the first bills to be introduced
In Congress upon the resumption of the
session will be one providing that the
heirs of soldiers who have died in
Southern prisons during the war may
collect of the Government full commu-
tation of rations at the rate of 25 cents
a day for the full term the deceased may
have been In confinement. According
to the present regulations of the WaI
Department the heirs of private sol
dier are allowed no claims Of this char
acter, while those of a commissioned
officer, may collect every emolument
that pertains to him upto the date OF
his death, whether he died in hospital
or in captivity.
To refute beyond all question the
story frequently reiterated in the South
during the war, and which gained some
credence in the North, in reference to
the Government making inadequate
provision for the subsistence OF its
prisoners, the Bureau of Military Pris-
ons gives the following item in its late
report to the War Department: That
during the four years in which depots
for the reception of Southern prisoners
were kept up in many of the Northern
cities there accumulated u fund up
wards of $50, OO0, 600 from the sale of ex-
cess rations issued to and not consumed
by prisoners, and more than half this
sum was used while war was progress
ing in purchase of wines and tellies for
the benefit of occupants of prison hos
pitfalls.

New YoRK, Dec. 2.-The CONNER
cial says that the statement of the nsso-
ciated banks exhibits some very itnpor.
tant fluctuations in favor of the con-
tinuance of the ease in money. The
deposits show an increase OF S6,021 1871,
and the circulation an increase of 1861, :
564 the loans have increased 1888, 1856
the legal tender exhibits an altogether
exceptional increase of ST., 245, 4s6
arising from the banks having adopted
the uniform usage of including United
States clearing houses certificates with
these legal tender returns, in accord
ance with resolution adopted at q
meeting of the association, held Decem-
Der 18th. The returns OF the New York
city banks this week are SS, SSl 1868, from
the returns of the previous week are as
follows:

Years there was not generally a bouy-
ant feeling in the stock market. There
appears to be a general disposition to
engage in operations for rise. AT
present the speculation is confined
chiefly to Erie, Cleveland and Pitts
burgh, and Michigan Southern, but
will probably soon extend in the entire
list. The Bulls rely on the growing
abundance of money for carrying them
through an active campaign, and the
Bears are not disposed to offer any re-
sistanee until the opposite monetary
current sets in. Last week the leading
Bears took the precautipp of coming q
good portion of their atock, upon which
the Bulls had counted largely as an ele-
ment of an advance. This step will
probably materially influence the
course Of speculation. 90

Report or ComptrolIer. RobLnson.

New York, Dec. 2.-Comptroller
Robinson, in his annual reports, states
notwithstanding the heavy drains upon
the Treasury its affairs have moved on
smoothly and in perfect order, every
just claim on it has been promptly met,
and 1t retains an ample sum on hand
for all claims likely to arise before the
taxes for the current fiscal year shall
be received. The State debt as it exist
ed on the Both of September, 1866, not
general fund debt, So, O50, 1854 81; total,
$25, Az, $50 80; showing a diminution of
the debt as 1t existed before the war of
IS. 137, 4S5 90. The Comptroller says but
for the large bounty loan made during
the last year, the State within very
from debt. The certificates issued on
account of that loan up to the 10th day
of December, 1865, reached the sum of
q25, 500, 600, making the total debt of the
State To December 10th, 1865, 1851, 041,
$50 SO. Mr.. Robinson gives an extern
sive exposition of the condition of the
several funds of the State. He states
that the estimated payments for ex-
penses of the Government DC, for the
present fiscal year, amount to 1851 ,06S,-
ASS, TO which add defisieney, for last
year of 81 ,179, 374, this leaves total of
50, 690, 075 81. This leaves an estimated
surplus next October of S439, gS1 81. The
for the fiscal year ending September
3Oth, 1865, amounted to 1857 1876, of
which SO, ole, 94S IS were from tolls.
Tho receipts for the previous fiscal
year amounted to 81 $40, 265 81, show
ing a decrease of $75S, 900 or. The pay
mentS during the same time amounted
81 ,927, 1873 90, leaving surplus revenue
of SIG, SOC, 81 SO to meet the payment of
81, zoe, 900 required by the article of the
Constitution. He calls the attention of
Taxpayers TO the diminished receipts
and the increased expenses of canals
and accounts of State prisons, all of
which show diminished receipts with
increased expenses. The payments on
account of National Guards during the
last fiscal year reached the unpreceden-
ted sum of $643, 1853 ~, being full one
half as much as the entire amount of
the other ordinary expenses of the
State government, The amount paid
for public printing of all kinds during
the fiscal year reaches the sum of 81
III 81 90. The Comptroller is of opin-
ion that a tax of one million dollars
should be sufficient for the expenses of
State government. He does not ven
ture to place it at that figure. The tax
levy, even with unusual economy in
appropriations, will amount to five
mills on the dollar as follows: Gener-
al fund 1N mills; school fund u of a
mill canal fund do; canal debt of 1859
N of MILF county loan tag 2Is mills.
This is q very high rate he declares for
time of peace. The conclusion of the
report is devoted to the condition of the
currency.

New FoRK, Jan. 2.-General Swee-
ney has issued an appeal to the Fenians
not to waste their energies in intestine
strife; let deeds, not words, be your
motto and strike before it is too late
and the golden opportunity be lost for
ever. Our situation is that of two ar
mics whose chiefs cannot agree upon
like of operations. The vast extent Of
British dominions ofera many Vital
points, and as we cannot reconcile our
views let each army follow its own
general and attaolc when his Judgment
tells him are his best chances Of success.
Let this disgraceful squabble cease at
once. On the field of battle we will
forget all personal rancor and sectional
preiudices to remember only our dear
country and her wrongs Out OF the
difficulty, the general says, / see but
one way of escape: that Is TO call in
each State a convention of delegates
from different circles to decide in whom
they will repose confidence and then in
silence allow Col. o'A1ahopy and my
self each to work out his respective
plans for the freedom of Ireland.

Message OF the Mayor OF New York.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Hon. John p.
Hoffman having few days since taken
the oath of office, was yesterday for
mally installed as Mayor of New York.
Mayor Gunther then took leave of the
officers and clerks attached to the
Executive Bureau and then withdrew.
Mayor Hoffman then delivered his iu-
augural. He argues that the city gov
eminent should be free from control by
the Legislature. The debt of the city
is over 81 GOO, COO. In accounto of which
the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund
hold S., 500, 900. The debt Is amply Sc
cured by the entire property of the city.
He suggests the sale at auction of large
portions of the improved property OF
the city which would bring large prices.
He believes the city should hold and
control its markets, wharves, piers and
ferry franchises, and lis against the saleof
them. The tax levy of this year Is oyer
SIS, 000, 900, of which 5000, 600 Is FOR
State puFposesI 81, go, 600 for police and
other county purposes expended by the
commissio ner appointed by the last
Legislature, and s., 500, 600 for riot and
family aid and war bonds. The tax levy
next year is expected TO be at least 3d.
600, OlesS. The Mayor recommends that
the Chamber of Commerce be invited
to confer with the Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund on the subject of river
piers and warehouses. He hopes for
the removal of all markets which dis
grace the city, and the erection of new
ones which will be an ornament
He calls for n prompt cleaning OF the
streets and the punishment of all viola
lions of the city ordinances of throwing
garbage into the streets. BE also sug-
gests sanitary regulations in view OF
the possibility of the approaching
cholera. This requires the endorsement
OF the plans now in progress for inn
proved sewerage. He finally RECON-
mends Feduptiop Of expenses, and
says he viii do all in hfs power to
thwart Improvement by legislation and
check extravagant expenditures.

English IDEA OF Orr ARMIEs.-The English
writers seem to have got bravelv over their old
idea that the Union armies in the lrtc war were
composed of mercenarics, the scum of the cities
and the ofi-scourings of Europe Tins the Lon
don .4thcnaeun says -" Except the squadronS
which charged mt Worcester and Neseby, no ar
nv was over set in the field like that Of Shcr-
man. Many of the rank and file gentle
men-poets, writers, advocates. preachers, bank
crs LAWYERS such men would mix in London
society and be members Of Pail Mall clubs
Many of the cavalry rode their own horses mt
nv of the infantry hard bought their own arms.
They were persons of estate. accustomed 10 good
houses and rich living. They had friends in
high places and luxurious homes awaiting their
return. Some of the best regiments of Massa-
chuSctts and the Western States were in the
camns And they were strong in number rs in
sprits: 10 900 fighting men of the best blood in
America counted after all the non-etfcctives had
been left behind. What were they going to do ?
One thing was clear; they were going to defy all
military rules, and at the risk of their lives, en-
large the art Of war.
