No funds were In IeJt The


All these frauds and debts occurred OF
accrued before May lst 1868. While there
Is no proof that there had been any dis
honesty in previous years, yet owing to the
careless manner in which accounts had
been kept, and the fact that they were not
properly audited, nor the funds kept sepa-
rate and distinct, the money raised for va
rious funds had been used for other pur-
poses.
1t was found absolutely necessary 10 re-
assess many Of these delinQuencies, as the
work had been performed and the orders
issued, and there was no money 10 pay
them. This accounts for a portion of the
taxes that property hOlders have had to pay
10 meet claims that had occurred in previous
years.
Whatever fault, then, may be found as
to city taxation, let US give the Mayor and
Council proper credit, for relieving Us from
the endorsements OF previous years. To
the Mayor, especially. is the city indebted
for the present system Of monthly reports,
and the systematic manner in which the
business OF the city IS now transacted.
II hereafter the weekly proceedings, and
the annual reports OF the City Treasurer,
should he published, community Will under
stand what is being done for their benefit,
and give praise where it IS justly deserved.
We believe the Mayor is entitled to the
thanks OF our citizens, in securing the mon
ey due the city from the State and County,
and that from an intricate maze OF disOr-
der and confusion, the various funds have
been placed in order, so that hereafter, if
the same system IS pursued, the Common
Council will be able at any time, not only
TO tell the balance but also to know where
1t belongs, and where it can be legally ap-
propriated.

THE MEssAGE.-The presidents
message, which we publish this week,
is disappointment to US as we think
it will be to the majority Of the ma
ton. No one can fail to remark the
entire absence of that low bred sour
rility and passionate vindictiveneSs
which so characterised his speech Oh
the ODD of February last, and in all
his harrangucs before the various
crowds he met while he was "swing-
ing around the circle" in his tour thro'
New York and the western states,
previous to the state elections. The
message is couched in dignified Ian
guage and is marked with some de.
gree of scholarship and statesmanlike
bearing, which is the best of proof to
US that Johnson. did not write it, OF
that II he did he was sober when he
wrote it. Congress is treated with
due respect, from which we are led to
infer that he does not now believe his
oft repeated declaration that it is
" hanging upon the verge of the gov.
ernmcnt." Perhaps the voice of the
fall elections has served to change his
views upon that point. 1t will be seen
that the president still adheres to his
iavorite dogmas of reconstruction and
paciicatiou, and he says that time in
stead of modifying his views in these
respects has only tended to strengtl.
en- them; but lac gives the reasons fol
the faith that is in him in a gentleman
ly manner and which, were they moi
iallacious, would from the way il
which they are put, seem to be wei
founded. But read the message; il
will repay perusal.
