A New York special of the twenty ninth
to the Chicago Tribune says:
The Erening Nail to-day publishes figures
from the city accounts which reveal frauds
more startling than any heretofore shown.
The accounts published by the Times, some
weeks ago. were those Of the county of
New York. so that the figures of the Mai
are new revelations. Ingersoll, Galvey,
Keyser. and their mysterious companies all
reappear as chief participants in the whole
sale plunder that has been going ON under
the county and city administrations, while
new comrades of the now notorious gang
are brought to light. For instance, Keyser
Il Co. appear to have received from the
city $l,l49.874 in addition to their 81 ,23l ,8l9
levied upon the county. This example of
the impartiality with which the county and
city have been plundered may answer for
the rest of their equally celebrated contem-
Doraries in the same business. The New
York Printing Company received $3.50, 900;
the Transcript Association Printing Com
pany received 100000. One contractor for
cleaning the streets received 81 800. 900, and
another $4,000 Gas lamps and street
signs in one year cost $l5o, ,OUO, and brocms
and brushes for street sweeping $4,000.
Lamp-posts. in one year, cost 100000 to
one contractor, and $4,000 to another.
Things are getting lively, and the Mail
promises more revelations tomorrow.

The VERY BEST WINES AND LIQUORS.
Connoisseurs in this city have known for
years that whenever they desired to pur-
chase something super-excellent in the way
OF wines and liquors, that these could be
found in the store Of Messrs. Thomas r.
Handy Il Co., Nos. IL and l3 Exchange
place, which, though very uupretending
establishment, was always full of the very
best vintages to be found anywhere. But
now Messrs. Handy & Co., have found that
their small store will longer do, their GUS
tom having increased to such an extent, so
they have extended it clear through the
block. and taken in that elegant and COM
modious store, Nos. IA and l6 Royal street,
where their main entrance and office will in
future be. That such of our readers as ap-
preciate pure and fine beverages will give
them their orders, we doubt not, for they
will find that Messrs Handy e. Co., keep
just such and no other.

Of thirty horses, being transported from

reprehensible conduct on the part of some

the manner in which many exaggerated re-
ports concerning the health OF our city are
circulated. The letter referred to is dated
at Memphis, September %, and says:

The New York Times of Friday SAYS.

In Mr.: Boutwelrs speech in Ohio. which
We publish this morning, there is one point
made against the Democratic party which
every one will recognize as just Ii is that
the party ''seeks to substitute its own will
for the plighted faith of the nation That
is precisely what the Democracy proposes
when it offers to pay the bonds in green
backs. The nation is pledged to pay in
gold. The contract was SO understood by
both parties to it when it was made The
Democrats now declare that paper will sat
lsfy the contract. ana that, not to put too
tine point on it, is simply reputation.
