I ate Nathaniel Sands and his col
leagues required payments to be made
for stationery furnished to their de-
partment to the amount of 500, GOT 80.
II would not be very difficult to get an
estimate of how much stationery the
clerical staff of the department could
possibly use within two years, and we
hardly think any business man Will
doubt that 1t would leave very large
margin to be accounted for by the Com
missioners. 1t will be observed that
w. c. Rogers 4 Co., managed to obtain
payment from the county IN 1869 and
1870 Of bills amounting to S97, 459. 50.
During the same years this firm and
their predecessors in business state
that they furnished the City Depart
ments with stationery to the amount of
1858, 983. 81. Ii this furnishes a stand
ard for the calculation of the relative
proportions of the city and county war
rants, the former must be indeed
astounding.
The solitary instance in which any
attempt is made to specify the items OF
the various accounts, occurs IN the war
rants drawn in favor of the New York
Printing Company on May 20, 1862
On this day four different payments
were made amounting to So, 95l.57,
and all representing the single item of
"blank books" It may be remember
ed that in March last our neighbors in
Brooklyn were greatly startled to find
that the Eagle, while devoting itself to
the advocacy of public economy, had
pocketed somewhat exorbitant pro-
fits out of the printing and sta
tiopery bills of Kings county
The price of blank books " was clearly
brought out in the course of the inves-
tigation which ensued--a manufacturer
having declared their market value to
be seventy-tive cents. We may safely
assume that the books used by the
county offices of New York do not ma
terially differ from those used in Kings
county At this rate the modest bill
of the New York Printing Company
ought to represent p, 26S blank books

conilaCration in this city had exhausted
Itself | saw the necessity Of having a
few companies OF regular troops here
for the preservation Of the public peace
and the protection of property and treas
ure. Their services were Invaluable;
but as soon IS the excitement subsidized
the old government desired TO again
take charge, and, Of course, | sent the
troops home, although it had been my
intention to keep four companies here
during the winter" . .--...
And the General commanding the ar
my seems also to have fallen into tie dan
geroUs error of suppOsing that his Off
cial military powers are paramount to
the Constitution and the laws. He in
dorsed upon the report made by Lieu
tenant General Sheridan, of bis opera
tons while enforcing military rule in
Chicago, his approval Of all the acts of
his subordinate, and that, too, with an
emphasis that, he seems to have suppo-
sed, will preclude all questions Of the
propriety of his cozduct; and on the

applied to him for leave to bring other
