There is considerable complaint originating in IN
reasonable delay in the payment OF obligations OF ths
City Government. Whether this arises from lack Of
funds or nattention of officials is not known. Ths
teachers of the public schools have not been paid or
two months past, and other municipal accounts have
remained unliquidated for over year. The school
house on Franklin-square, commenced more than sl1
months SINCE yet remains unfinished, although it il
badly needed for the accommodation OF scholars III
that district who are without necessary accommoda
TONS reform is evidently required in the admins
tration Of the financial affairs of the municipality IL
is understood that Mayor Wallach and City Councils
are working AT cross purposes eacn accusing ho o.uoi
of extravaganza and each more intent on thwartlns
the others purposes than in advancing the interests
of the metropolis.

Gen. Grant and Lieut-Gen. Sherman terminated to-
day the President and the last named had q con-
ference of long duration.
