4 FLEMISH ACCOUNT.

| A law of our State (unless Tweed has had il
surreptitiously repealed in some Juggling sec
ton of Tax Levy explicitly requires the
Controller of our City to publish, at least two
weeks before each election at which Mayor
is chosen, full and clear account of the
City's Finances-the items of expenditure for
the preceding year, aggregate City Debt. &C.,
&c. Mr.. Richard b. Connolly is Controller,
and has been repeatedly urged to obey this
law, which he steadfasty refuses to do.
Just on the eve of election, Mr. Connolly in
duces six respectable citizens to certify that
they have examined his accounts and find them
all right. The funded City Debt, they say, is
$46 81 ,20S, and there are securities held by the
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund which
amount to $20,3C1 oil. Deduct these and there
remains but $2G450,196 of funded debt. They
add:
"The temporary City debt is t7,746,s72, which is u
trust account and paid from the collection Of
ments for opening regulating, sewering, and paving
Streets and does not enter into taxation
"The outstanding revenue bonds Of 1870 of the City
payable from taxes Of 1870, now being collected
The funded debt Of the County Is tI447,91s and Is
payable from taxation in annual instaments Of sue
years. such amounts not to be oppressive to
taxpayers
"The outstanding revenue bonds OF the County are
payable from the tax of 1870 and 1871"
This statement suggests the following
questions:
1. Why does not Mr.. Connolly publish and
authenticate by his signature an exhibit of
the financial condition of our City, just as his
predecessors didf IL the facts are as he has
induced others to represent them, why not
proclaim them bimselfR
g. Are "the outstanding Revenue Bonds"
another form of City indebtedness, in addi-
ton to the temporary City Debit" If so,
Gas is no doubt the case) why not set forth
their amOunt9
3. Is "the funded debt of the County, s21,-
H7,01S," so much in addition to the City Debt
Of $46,e11 POST If so (as is no doubt the case)
why set forth the former as the entire City
Debt-the City being identical with the County,
4. Why not state just how much the City and
the County Debt together have been increased
during the last twelve monthsf
8. If the outstanding Revenue Bonds "are
paid out of the taxes now being collected
must not more Revenue Bonds be issued and
more money borrowed thereon a few months

OIKEY THE ACRORIT.

Tn the windows of various liquor shops, shoe
stores, and crockery wareroOms OF our city Is
the neatly framed picture of sleepy looking
man, whose general expression seems to mdl-
cate n willingness to embrace any coming
opportunity. AZ he neither holds fiddle, nor
is arrayed in tights nor hangs suspended from
a trapeze. we are at q loss to know the cause
of the exhibition till we find the name
beneath-A. O. Hail. The leader Of city
corruption, asking permission to continue his
little games, shows his face to the public as
an excuse for hiding his pocket
There is something pertinent. however, in
this Mayors classification 0t himself among
the fiddles, and jugglcrs, and girls of the bal
let, whose custom of sending their portraits
around he initiates. Not one of them has
ever performed more varied tunes or more
diverse instruments than he. From the march
of the Wings to the hOrnpipe of Tweed and
Fisk, IT,, Democracy, all have sounded from
his touch. When the sun shOne fair he joined
in with the Republicans. When cloud
came he went cooling among the Demo-
Gratis. AS gymnast, too, he merits
our attention, for Leotard himself never
surpassed the bound which raised Hall to
he can proclaim himself unmatched. He pop
ulates Wards by mathematics, rolls up majori-
ties faster than patent adders can compute
them, and divides any district so that his
Journals can announce, twenty-four hours in
advance of the idle ceremony OF casting the
ballots, the results of city elections. He rides
the Ring as confidently as any bareback
equestrian of the circus. His business capaci-
ties need no recommendation, for all his
friends are rich, and he is growing richer.
Look on his self-expOsed picture. property
holders, and vote for him and continued tax
alton. Study his features, merchants, and vote
for him and a continued rule of plunderers.
Look into his face, lawyers, and vote for him
and all his trained judges. Gaze on him, citi-
zens of the nations city, and vote for him and
authorized corruption. Look upon the Acrobat
who peddles his pictures in the shop-windows,
citizens of the Empire City, and be proud of
| the taste, the integrity, the honor that adorn
the first municipal Office of the Continent!

Once moro we entreat the Republicans of
Richmond, Queens, and Suffolk Counties to
realize that they can elect CALEB c. NoRvELL
to Congress if they all try. There are not less
than Twelve Hundred new voters in that dis
trict enfranchised by the XVIII Amendment; ;
and these will give at least One Thousand
majority for the Republican candidates. Suf-
folk can give him Five Hundred majority if it
will. Richmond may be balanced and there
is no Democratic majority in Queens worth
counting if tho last vote is called out, as that
County has more than Five Hundred new
voters by virtue of the XVth Amendment
Mr.. Norvell is eminently capable and worthy;
he has never sought office; and he can be of
great service in the House. by reason of his
familiarity with questions of Finance. Electors
of the Ist District honor yourselves and serve
your country by sending him to Congress!
New-York tribune., 1870-11-07

The story that Victor Emanuel refuses to
make Rome the capital of Italy because he
fears the anathema Of the Church, would have
found moro credence if it had been told be-
fore he ventured to seize and occupy the I'm
perial City. 1t is very certain that the Italian
King was forced to take forcible possession
of the Papal States by the Italian people,
whose desire for the unifcation of their coun-
try is general and irresistible. The same SEN
timent will compel him to occupy Rome as the
capital. for he dares not oppose the wish OF
her people to please the whim of the Pope
Victor Emanuel has at least brains enough to
prefer religious curses to political cohdehna
ton, accommodation to dethrOnement.

There are three Republican Assembly dis
trcts in our City-the With, 1Xth, and Xlth.
The With was thrown away last year by a
split; in the IXth, John NJ. Costa, Republican,
was elected, but counted out; in the Xlth, we
elected John II. White by handsome major
ity. The With is now happily hamOnized,
and will elect Republican; but the lXth has
two Republican candidates, and in the Xlth a
second has just been brought out against John
V. Gridey. This is suicidal. There must be
but one Republican candidate at the polls in
either district, and the nomination Of James
NJ. Cross in the XIth means simply surren-
der of Republican district to the Tam
many candidate. Friends! this must not be.
Let every feud be healed to-day, and let us have
but one Republican candidate in any district.
We can elect Gridley in the Xlth, and to run
a candidate against him is treason to the Re-
publican cause.

In the IXth Congress District, it seems to
lis, after a careful survey of the ground, that
the anti-Tammany vote can best be concen-
trated on Gen. WILLIAM S. HILLYER. We say
this with every respect for Mr.. Ellinger, whom
we have already commended, and whom we
should urge every one to support if we thought
he could be elected. 1t seems to us that he
cannot be, and that Gen. Hillyer can where
fore we think the latter should be supported.
Any one who chooses has perfect right to
dissent from our conclusion; but that is the
way the canvass looks to us, and we advise

Republicans of NEw-JERsEY be good enough
not to come to this City tomorrow until you
shall have voted! JOHN HILL and GEORGE
A. HALsEY will each be elected to Congress or
defeated by very close vote: We hope for
the success of both ; but that depends wholly
on you. If you poll every legal vote and keep
out all Others you will elect them both; if
you do not half try, you will let them be de-
feated. We beg you so to act that they may
not be defeated.

These figures are indicative of the increased
lawlessness consequent upon the demOraliza-
ton of the community by the laws enacted by
the last Democratic Legislature. An increase
of 8,268 drunkards and street rowdies required
to be taken into custody to preserve the pub
lie peace during tho first six months Of the
new system, is doing tolerably well. But
Tammany has scarcely got its machine into
working order yet, and with the increased
facilities which practice will give will be able
to manufacture drunkards and ruilians much
more rapidly than at present

business, or rather profession, OF educated
nurses as path open for women when Wouiu
insure them work that would demand their
best powers of body and mind, and at the
same time pay them q certain and comforta-
bic living income. From the number or letters
which we have received since then on the SUD-
iect we are confirmed in our opinion OF the
imperatiye need of such callings for large
class of women who are not iliterate ana yet
not capable of teaching or any artistic pursuit
and the fullness with which this work meets
such need. Many women in our own knowi-
| edge have studied during the Summer to mt
| themselves for the occupation, but found an
almost insuperablc difficulty in the way Of
obtaining instruction or preparatory practice,
there being only one institution which would
furnish either in the country-that in Phila-
delphia, which could admit only limited
number. The subject has attracted attention
also in England and provision is making for
as thorough training of nurses as that OF ply
sicans. A late writer in Fraser, discussing
the demand for educated women in the sick
room. places the proper maximum price for
skilled nurse at three gnneas per day, which
is certainly higher than they are at all likely
to obtain. "a gentleman who educates his
daughter as nurse" the writer says, has
"proyded for her future "A securely as for
that of bis son to whom he has given u
profession" ..t.
However this may be, the fact here ia that
so long as there is sickness there will be o
constant demand for nurses, and the prices
now paid to even illiterate, incompetent
women who fill the post are higher than
those commanded by ordinary teachers. The
women are waiting and so is the work, and
nothing is needed but the education to bring
them together VIII not some of our pioneers
in works of charity take this work in hand
and furnish the missing link before Winter
beginsa To place the means Of self-help in
the hands of the needy is assuredly worth
treble the sum expended in aims. Besides, the
expense here is small. In tho institution in
aug,irated by Warrington some twenty years
ago in Philadelphia, the machinery of charity is,
with true Quaker shrewdness and wisdom,
made to react upon itself so as to become al
most self-supporting. Two months is enough
for n capable and alert woman to fit herself
| for the business; education under the best
physicians and boarding arc furnished her
at q nominal sum /; lying-in department
provides at the same time practice to her and
attention to large number of charity pa
tients; while the house, becoming home for
the trained nurses when out of work, pays
| large share Of its own expenses.
| We hope to see a similar institution started
before cold weather begins in New-York. 1t
would accomplish more good for women than
q dozen Conventions to discuss their condition.
| In a week it would be crowded with applicants
ready to be taught how to use their heads and
hands effectively, while at the same time it
would supply deficiency long felt among us,
by furnishing place where skilled aid could
be certainly found in time of illness or sudden
peril.
