Mayor Hoffman and His Promises.

Before the last charter election the commu-
nifty were fed with golden promises by Mayor
Hoffman as to the reduction in the expenses of
the city government which he was going to
bring about If reelected. These promises
were made in all quarters Of the city, and es-
pecially in those localities where the Mayors
portrait, mustache and all, adorned the walls
Of the barrooms; for 1t was in these regions
that Mr.. Hofrnan's oratory boomed like the
rose and sounded as sweetly as ''the harp that
once through Taras halls the soul Of music
she'd" He was reelected, and how have his
promises been fulfilled? By vetoing few
petty jobs Of no Importance at all, about which
great fuss was made, as though the city
treasury was going to be vastly the gamer
thereby. But the big jobs by which the pub
lie were and are mercilessly feeced were ap-
proved without moments hesitation for the
benefit of the 'ring" over which the Mayor
presides. II Is boasted that Hoffman carries
the Legislature in his pocket, and there is no
doubt that the tax levy as adopted in that
highly moral and conscientious body will be
more burdcnsome upon the people than ever.
In fact, as we now stand In regard to taxation
and expenditure Of the public funds, things are
worse than they have been before. And this
is the man who aspires to be Governor of the
State, or Vice President, or, for the matter Of
that, President Of the United States, or per-
chance has the ambition to assume the mission
Of the Angel Gabriel, or some Of the other high
potentatcs Of Heaven. We hope that the
United States and the world At large will be
saved from any such inhictioo.
The New York herald., 1868-03-28

On Thursday Baltimore witnessed one of
the finest and most jubilaut displays which
have ever enlivencd the Monumental City.
A grand civic and military procession,
composed of several regiments Of the Mary
land National Guard the police force, the
Fire Department and various societies, In
all about seven thousand men, headed by the
Governor Of Maryland, the Mayor and City
Council and the other municipal officers Of
Baltimore, marched through the principal
streets, and banners waved and martial music
and the chimes Of church bells filed the air
with merry clangor. This demonstration was
made 10 honor Of the officers Of lha steamer

day' and the report was agreed to by large
majority, the vote being SO to 32. Another
bill Of similar import has been already intro
dnced in the Senate, so that the matter is not
yet finally at rest at the State capital. H
eventually defeated in New York, the present
Erie directors will turn their attention to New

Of that State to retain possession Of the man
