NEW YORK CITY.
INAUGURATION OF MAYOR HOFFMAN.
His Address---The Finances of
the City.

New YORK. January 2.--Mayor Hoffman de-
livered his inaugural address yesterday. He
argues that the City Government should be free
from control by the State Legislature. The
funded debt of the city is over $4l,000,O0O, on
account of which the Commissioners of the Sink
ing Fund hold $9,5OO,OOO. The debt is amply
secured by the entire property of the city. He
suggests the sale at auction OF large portions OF
the unimproved property of the CITY, which
would now bring large prices. He believes that
the city should hold and control its markets,
wharves, piers, and ferry franchises, and is
against the sale of them.
The tax levy of the year is over $lS,000,0 600, of
which SO 200 900 is for State purposes S4 75O 900
for police and other county purposes expended
by the Commissioners appointed by the Legisla-
ture, and 81 500, 900 for riot damages and the
war bonds. The tax levy next year is expected
to be at least SO, OOO, 900 less. The Mayor recon-
mends that the Chamber of Commerce be invited
to confer with the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund on the subject of iron piers and ware
houses. He hopes for the removal of the old
markets, which disgrace the city, and the erec'
ton of new ones which would be an ornament.
He calls for the prompt cleansing of the streets,
and the punishment Of all violations of the city
ordinances by throwing garbage into the streets.
He also suggests sanitary regulations in view of
the possibly approaching cholera, and the vigor-
ous enforcement of the plans now in progress
for improved sewerage. He finally recommends
reduction of expenses, and says he will do all
in his power to thwart imprOudent legislation
and check extravagant expenditures.

THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION.


The first public reception was given by Presi-
dent johnson to-day. 1t was hoped that previous
to adjournment Congress would appropriate a
sufficient sum for refurnishing the White House,
but it was found that the thirty thousand dollars
which was appropriated for that purpose barely
sutficed to pay off debts accumulated during the
previous occupancy of the Executive Mansion,
leaving nothing for present improvements. The
East Room is particularly detaced, and was unfit
for a reception, but by the efforts of MIR. William
Slade, steward of the White House, 1t was placed
in tolerably presentable condition. The worn
carpet in this apartment, as well as those IN the
other rooms, was covered with neat spread,
tor the purpose of protecting it from further in
jury by the crowd, and the most soiled furniture
was removed. The carpets in the ante-rooms
were taken up, leaving the oil-cloth, which 10
always laid down under them.
A platform was built from the window OF the
hall in which the stair ascends, to the pave
ment, so as to enable the crowd to pass out
without obstructlng ngress, and the doors of
the Yestibule were removed, tnus giving free
access to the reception room.
In the Blue Room, where The President re-
ceives his visitors, elegant bouquets formed of
white and variegated camelias, hellotrope, lilies,
and mignonette were placed IN gllded flower
stands, and on the lacquered tables Of japanese
workmanship.
At an early hour this morniug the United
States Marshal, Mr.. Gooding, his deputy, Mr..
