r,.1 uEpOET OF THE CONTROL
LEK.

The report ol Mr.. Robinson, the recent Con-
est. This adding up Of the yearly balances is
not always the most pleasant business IN the
world. but We have n kind Of grim comfort in
seeing how much moro our expenses exceed our
receipts. New-York has had many claims upon
her purse during the past four years. Mr.
Robinson tells Us that but for the war the State
would have been pretty we'll out of debt, and in
giving this narrative adds rather extended
commentary showing how much ne lose by the
National Banks, and convincing us that
many Of the States troubles are Occajoned
by neglect to obey the steward. The
war alone cost our State treasury 800, ,0Oo 600.
Bonds for larger amount have been issued,
and if we add the debts incurred by dtics,
towns and counties 10 assist to recruit armies
and carry on the war, IT will amount TO
sa0,OOO,OOO. Whilerushing up these immense
figures, We have reduced the ordinary debt from
what it was in 1860, a. much as 81, I31, ,i35 80.
Apart from the war the actual receipts Of the
treasury amounted 10 Sll,9l2,936 dor, We
are sorry to say 81, GG7, ,i32 Of less than the ex-
pendiiurcs. The Controller explains this
dreadful fnanciering by saying that New-lork
City has paid no tax as yet for 1865, and that
when Manhattan settles her account the state
will be ahead.
Before the war .e were in debt the sum of
>.g.;.6l2,9 ,975 -. Now We owe S5i ,OiI ,J37 70.
To meet this il, is estimated that the tax levy
will have 10 be five mills on the dollar-whioh
We agree with the Controller in regarding as q
high rate for times Of peace. Unlocking oyerthe
list of objects for which our money is spent We
see many opportunities for the exercise of q
for instance, there is no reason why prs-
oncrs should only earn about half of what
il costs 10 support them. the expenses
of the National Guard should not be al.
lowed to Dc " full One.half as much as the en-
tire amount OF the other ordinary expenses of
the State Government" The sum of s6i3,
35s ~ is too much 10 spend for tinsel and
drums. Our best National Guard is composed
Of the bronzed veterans who have gone down
to plain and valley TO plow. Let the bugle
sound again, and our army will come not
from armores, but from these very plains and
valleys The printing bill is almost a crime.
Well may Alr Robinson call it the "enormous
sum of t2I4, lGl So The suggestion that the
State should have its own Office is we fear, qucs-
tionable economy. Better print less. Since
we had public printing office in Washington
every sixpenny clerk and bureau head rejoiccs
in elaborate printed reports. What with these
great expcnscs-thc five mills from the State
