A Few QUESTIONS. Editors Ledger !:
There are many things that look very
strange in the management of the
finances of this city, and would like
very much for you to call public attention
to some of them.
In the first place, the Board engaged a
party of engineers, ETC., to lay off the
streets preparatory to laying the pave
ments, and to conduct the work. For
this the pitiful sum eff $3.50 in cash per
month was to be paid for an engineer.
Have they done their duty2 The city
itself can answer Have they been paid
If $35 is equal to $50, then they have
if 800 is equal to $3.50, then they have.
Most of these engineers have families,
and have to pay for mere support 500
per month.
This is all will say now, but if some
thing is not done soon, the parties who
have put cash into their pockets at a
discount will be called on to settle up
their ACCOUNTS and drop the public teat.
Will the Board act with justice toward
these poor men who have labored every
day from daylight till dark, for the pur-
pose of making the city worth three
times as much as it was this time last
year2 Verbum sat
Respectfully, N. G. NEER.

called up and ME-. Henry entered upon
an argument in that sprightly females
behalf. 1t had not closed at noon, and
there is little hope Of the case reaching q

REDUCTION OF RESTs.-We learn that
Mr.. John 0verton, sr,, has reduced rents
of Main street stores which last year
paid $4,000 to $500. This is another
step in the movement inaugurated by
Mr.. w. B. Greenlaw, who, several months
since, commenced reducing rents, salts
fed that business did not justify the high
rates called for by the leases. While
merchants lose money or barely save
themselves, landlords cannot, with rea
son, anticipate the usual profits on their
real estate investments.

RADICAL KNoCK-DowN IN THE TENTH
WARD. The Radicals held meeting at
niger Bailey's church in the Tenth
Ward last night to nominate candidates
for Aldermen. Ham Carter and a
crowd from different wards were on
hand to control the nominations in the
Beecher interest. Some of the Hamites
wanted their leader to speak. This was
objected to on the ground that Ham
had no business dar. A Beecherite
and a Fitchite had war of words
which resulted in a war of blows. In
the melee the stove was kicked over, and
the pipe joints sent whizzing among the
patriots. Somebody blew out the lights,
and the meeting adjourned, without
transacting any business. The world
moves.

NEW YORK, Feb o.
The Commercials special says that the Pres
ident has postponed sending in his veto ON the
reconstruction bill
The naval appropriation bill has passed the
House with $1636O0 for the Brooklyn Navy
Yard.
The Posts special says it is generally con-
ceded that the tariff bill is dead for this ses-
sion.
The Judiciary Committee will report on
Saturday. They have only begun the impeach-
ment question. Probably no loan bill will be
passed, as a compromise seems impossible.
