enormous expenditures of the author
tiles of New York City, and the taxa
ton under which the people of that
metropolis are groaning. We stated
that the Democracy, who are in the
majority by 10000, were directly re-
sponsible for these burdens. To this
the Courier replied that the control of
the city had been taken away from
the people thereof, ard placed in the
hands of individuals appointed by
the Governor Of the State and the
Legislature. Under the impression
that it was making coed music, it has
been harping on that one string ever
since. assuming that it was true, be
cause we did not regard prolonga-
ton of the discussion as of peculiar
interest to our readers. The Courier
Of Saturday repeats its former asser-
tons, and copies an item from the
New York Times in defense of Mayor
HOFFMAN. The Times, though nom
inally Republican paper, is strangely
addicted to supporting the enemies of
that party. 1t went off in,the JOHN
SON chute, and figured prominently
ia the Weeping Convention held in
Philadelphias lat year 1t is. now
supporting HoFFhAN, the nominee of
the Lammany Society for Mayor,
against-a regular Republican nominee
aud an honest man. A paper that
will thus betray its friends, is not a
reli8ble witness on q point in which
it Is Interested.
The truth is, the Democratic party
Is responsible for the enormous steal
ings by wA5ch the tax payers of New
York are made to suffer so severely.
=" The finances of that city are il
charge Of the Comptroller, whom the
people elect for four years. The
Stree Department has at its head one
Commissioner who is appoioted by
the Mayor for four years. Three
Commissioners, appointed By, the
Mayor manage the Croton .Aqueduct
Depar sment. The Law Office of Il e
city, called the Corporation Counsel,
is elected by the people for three years.
The Board of Aldermen, seventeen ia
number, the Board Of Councilmen,
twenty-five in number, the twelve Su-
pervisors, the twenty-one members
of the Board of Education, are SO
many independent bodies elected by
the people. The charitable and re
formatory institutions of the city
are in the hands of four Commits
sioners, whom the City Comp

The Police are governed by four
Commissioners appointed by the Gov

ernment of the City of New York, ,
which was published in the NortI
american Quarterly ReUie,1, in DC

Add Supervisors expenditures,
less State taxes, amounting to s5,847,-
675 80, which are paid out of the
pockets of the City, and we have a
grand total of S16,737 $40 66.
1t will be observed that this ex
penditure, of near ,eUerteea millions,
is exclusive of those officers appoint
ed by the Governor. Neither the
Police, Cen raj Park. nor Fire De
partment figure in the list, although,
lsgitimately, these are among the
heaviest expenses to which the city
ought to be subject. All of the Off
GERS wholare responsiblefo the above
list Of expenditures are elected by
the people; yet the Courier brazenly
insists that the Democratic party is
not responsible for the enormous
waste of money and Wholesale cor
ruption which is disgracing and ru-
lining that unfortunate commercial
emporium.
But there is still another fact, In
this connection, to which we call the
attention of the Courier. The city
charter of New York makes it the
duty of the Mayor " to exercise a
constant supervision over the con-
duct and acts of all subordinate of
fcers, and not a dollar can be drawn
from the treasury until the warrant
that calls for it has been countersign-
ed by the Mayor This is wise pro-
vision of law, its object being to give
the one responsible head, the Mayor,
the power to check all extravaganza
and corruption, and protects the
treasury by finally Withholding his
signature from warrant if he should
have any reason to believe the ac-
count fraudulent or unjust. The re-
fusal to sign warrant drawn for any
corrupt job puts final stop to it,
and cannot be overcome unless
by an appeal 10 the courts, in
volving an exposure of the rascality.
Every dollar plundered from the city
treasury must be first allowed and
approved by the Mayor, and all the
corrupt jobs and, extravag Mt charges
by which the taxation of the city has
been run up to twenty -four million
dollars a year have been approved
and endorsed by HOFFMAN. It is for
this service that he is made the can
didate of the Tammany ring, the Su-
pervisor's ring, the Aldermen's ring,
the Councilmen's ring and. every
other ring about the City Hall. They
are his warm supporters now because
they know that he viii sign their sew
eral warrants next year, while aps
other Mayor may withhold his sigma
ture and break up all their schemes
ofplmder9 CApT oTEQqo
We presume the Courier was alto
gether ignorant of these things. We
never had very exalted opinion Of
its discretion, but think it would
have been too smart to butt cut
what little brains. it possesses against
such rough and solid facts, had it but
| known CT. their existence. It's quota
ton from Mayor HoFFMAN's speech,
only shows the gentleman to be as
great a liar as he is spendthrift.
With the financial expose we are will
