LILLE CONTROLLERS REPORT.

With his Accumulated Debt bonds" and
&" Assessment Fund bonds" and Revenue
"bondsn and "Tax Relief bonds" the Con-
troller has made his statement of the City
finances quite incomprehensible to men of Ordi-
nary intelligence. We shall therefore discard
his yoluminous patchwork of tables, and en-
deavor to make the best estimate we can from
the materials at hand of the debt of the City
and County of New-YOrk on the 1st OF May last.
There are some outstanding claims and
judgments against the City of which the Con-
troler does not think fit to make mention. We
may specify Sheriff O'Briens claim, for the settle
ment of which the Legislature has au-
thorized the issue of bonds. Also,
the claims of the Gas Companies, which
the late Legislature likewise provided
should be paid from the proceeds of the new
Consolidated stock. There are many other
claims and judgments against the City into
the details of which we are sorry the Con-
troler cannot find time to enter. To those
who are curious about such matters we can
only say that the sum total is some millions
of dollars, but whether two or ten we have
no means of knowing
There is also a species of Indebtedness called
htNtuuCJ VI lax DOnus, Sulu ny MdyOl
Hall "to be payable at stated periods from
"Oct. /, 1871, to Jan. Is, 1872, as the taxes
care collected" In the various statements
of the City and County debt which
the Controller has made public during
the last seven weeks. these bonds have
been omitted. The amount of them outstand-
ing on the 3Oth of April was $2O,6n, 100, and
they carry interest at seven per cent. Doubt
less the Controller does not consider this sum
as a debt because it is to be paid so soon.
On Monday, the 18th of May, the Board of
Apportionment met and appropriated $780,
SO45O7 "a of the $23,3OOOOO which they are
authorized to raise by tax in 1871. This
amount was to provide for the general ex-
penses of the City and County Govern
ments ercept salaries, which will take all
that is left of the $28,3O0,0O0. But
not one cent was assigned Tor the
redemption of Revenue bonds. The Rev

THE DEPAR7MENT OF PUBLIC P1RKS.

THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC P1RhS
The report of the Department of Public
Parks is occupied principally with the Central
Park, and what Mr.. Sweeny has to say about
that is for the most part in the way OF COM
plant. If we believed his doleful essay. we
should imagine that he found our beautiful
pleasure ground a wilderness of weeds and
rubbish, The roads were worn out. The foot
paths were full of holes. The lakes were stagnant
cess-pools, pOlluting the Summer air. The Ar
senal building was "offensivey Objectionable"
The wild beasts were so miseraby Gagged that
nothing but their own good nature prevented
them from breaking out and eating people.
Gone great deficiency was apparent
" there were in the Park no suitable
" accommodations for the Commissioners
"and officers" The pavement beneath the
Terrace was so costly that, rather than finish It,
the Commissioners dug it up. Wherever
building was found under construction, the new
Board changed its location or entirely altered
its plan, or, if neither of these courses was
| possible denounced it, as a costly and RIDICULOUS
humbug. There were too many trees; there
WAS too much brush there was not enough
| shade; there were not enough flowers. For a
| wear. the Commissioners have been digging,
| looming, and transplanting, and, if they go on
| a while longer in the same way, the Park Will
be 80 changed that the original makers will
| not know it,
| The Department has been in some respects
well managed. There has been wonderful
| Improvement in the smaller cityssquares; and,
| if the changes in the Central Park are not uni
versally recognized as blessings, they have not
| az vet seriously disfigured that elegant urban
retreat, and all parties are ready to give the
controlling authorities as much credit as they
deserve. We are therefore surprised at the
gratutous and bad-tempered attacks which
| the Commissioners make upon their prede-
| cessors. They owe the late Board gratitude
for a faithful and intelligent administration,
and will do themselves no credit with the
public by decrying the management OF an en-
terprise of which we are all so proud.
Mr.. Sweeny is not scientific man, we be-
lieve. Evidently, he has no appreciation Of
the labOrs of such an eminent scholar as
Prof WaterhOuse Hawkins, who had been for
some time preparing, under the direction of
the old Commissioners, archaeological mu-
scum. Mr.. Sweeny discovered that the fOunda-
tions had been laid for "a building in which
should be exhibited specimens alleged to be
"of the pre- -Adamite period" Mr.. Sweeny
resolved not to waste money on any such
foolishness, and accordingly ordered the
foundations (Which had already cost S30,0OO)
| to be filed in and covered over. He says
nothing of certain casts and restOrations of
"alleged pre- -Adamite" remains which Professor
Hawkins had already executed. What was
done with them, Mr.. Sweenyf

EARNHOMES.

The isolation of families, Occasi0ned by the
sparse settlement of farming districts, has been
not only personal hardship, but bar to ma
terial progress. Dull and hopeless monotony
has driven many bright boy from the farTo'
home, and deprived Agriculture of much-needed
intelligence; but more unfortunate still has
been that inertia and torpdity en- gendered oy
solitude, rendering the mind inmlcal TO all
reform, however advantageous. Often beyond
the reach of his nearest neighbor, visiting the
village but once q week, the farmer has been
secluded from communion with his kind; and,
thus cut off from the current of progress, his
lfe's business was left for generations among
the most backward of industries his children
growing up to follow his steps, as he followed
his fathers and grandfather's before him.
But the motors of modern civlizatiOn-the
Press, the Railroad, and the Scbool-have in
vadcd this seclusion. have carried progress to
the farmers door, and in reaction have drawn
him out into the world. He takes the papers,
gives his children better education than be
had, and ia not hostile to practical improve
ments. One of the best evidences Of this ad-
vance is that, for the first time in history,
farmers, as such, are beginning to act together
for common ends. The County Fair ana state
Society were formerly the only agriculta'S'
organizations known, and It's only few gen
erations since even these were lacking. To-
day, Farmers Clubs are multiplying all over
the country, and various associations for pns''
ness purposes are fast springine mp The ma''-

and be within easy reach OF each OTHER.
Agriculture, as heretofore conducted, has not
favored the formation of such communities;
but we believe the agriculture of the future
will not only permit but require the near
neighborhood of farm-homes. Hence, in
the settlement of new sections of our country,
this tendency should be recognized and pro-
vided for wise foresight should be shown
in laying out properties with view to locat-
ing the dwellings as near the most suitable
center as may be. Organized colonies, con-
trolling large tracts, have especial facilities for
keeping the homes together in small villages
or hamlets. The most successful of the colo
nies so far established have pursued this
course. We commend their example.

MAYOR HALLS MESSAGE.

Our Mayor is journalist by choice and
nractice, and knows how to write. His Mes
sage herewith printed is crisp, clear, and Illus
trates the art of putting the best foot fore
most. We commend it to the careful consid-
Grafton of every citizen, and especially every
taxpayer. Meantime, we prOffer the following
suggestions
Considered in partisan aspect (says the
Mayor) "this limitation of responsibility ana
taxation by the two per cent. bill was impoi-
Z" itic" We decidedly dissent. We hold 1t
not only polite but indispensable. If it bad
been morally possible to go on spending more
and more every year, increasing taxes, and
running heels over head into debt, 1t might
have been expedient, party-wise, to 90 on IN
the bad old way. But that was not possible
Borrowing implies paying-generally involves
it-and the system of subsidizing every one
who would help to swell the Democratic
vote must have broken down at last.
Such food of money as was
pOured out to reelect Hoffman ana
secure Democratic majorities i'll Senate and
Assembly could not have been poured out
forever. The system of Government by Cor
ruption Gf you choose, by General Purchase)
must have exploded very soon. 1t was so es-
sentially rotten that it would soon have fallen
70 nieces by its own weight. We judge, there
fore. that our Municipal masters wore ship
barely in season to save their craft from being
bilged on the rocks rising black and foam
dashed under their lee We accord them little
credit for frugality but great deal for saga
city. Two more Old-fashioned Tax-Levles,
the way matters were going. must have COM
pelled the People to thrust them from power.
You cannot go on piling up expenditure on
all sides forever.
The Mayor asserts the willingness of our
citizens to "incur larger debt i'll order to
"improve the waterfront repave streets,
"finish boulevards," &c. sc. This is not the
entertainment to which we were invited when
Messrs. J. j. AstOr, Moses Taylor a. 20. last
Fall assured us, ON the strength of the Con-
troller's exhibit, that we needed only TO go on
as we were then going to see the last dollar
of our City Debt paid within twelve years.
And the new song is not so melodous as the
old one.
Doubtless, the City may wisely incur debt
| for further and greater Improvements sucn as
are indicated above. But the Mayor says
nothing about selling City property,tO pay ex-
listing debts or meet new expenditures. Herein
we think him clearly wrong. If our streets
need repaving, we ought to pay for the work
as it proceeds if we are to buy or construct
so much new property, we ought to sell
some that we now own. Here are the
Markets, worth several Millions-a poor invest
ment for the City, but very good for any one
else-here are the Docks, already worth Mil
lions, and on which we are asked to spend
Millions morel to which we assent, but insist
that the City should make them exactly what
we want, and then sell them under conditions
| that will insure their preservation and beneti-
cent use. The Mayors programme seems to
open bOundless vista of increased taxation
and expanded debt We move its amendment.
New-York tribune., 1871-06-13
A NEW ROUTE WESTWARD

The speech OF the Hon. William ID. Kelley,
which we print this morning, will amply re-
ward the reader who is not repelled by its
length. We are so well accustomed now to
gigantic engineering enterprises, railways
across continent, telegaphs on the bed Of
the great ocean, that we can hardly realize
how stupendous was the daring of those bold
spirits who first attempted to lay an iron
track through the wilderness, in days when
the science of railway enterprise was IN Its
infancy. Judge Kelley gives an interesting
account of the labOrs of Asa Whitney,
who twenty-six years ago-that is, before
the discovery of California gold, and
while San Francisco had as yet no ex-
istence-undertOolz to raise company tor
the construction Of a railroad from Lake
Michigan to the Pacific. He failed then, Tor
he was quarter of a century in advance Oh
his generation ; but this idea is now Eevlyed by
the projectors of the Northern Pacific Railway,
to which the greater part of Judge Kelley .
speech is devoted. Starting from Duluth and
St. Paul, this line is to cross the State of Min
nesota by two branches, to strike tlb Missouri
near the mouth of the Yellowstone En North
Western Dakota, and, after penetrating Mon
tana and Idaho, to have its Westerh terminus
at some point on Puget Sound. Here, judge
Kelley believes, and not on the Boy of San
Francisco are we to look for the future
Pacific metropolis. Whether these rosy visions
are all to be realized or not, there is fair
promise for a road in the latitude proposed
There is rich country for it to develop;
there are no difficulties which skill and patience
cannot overcome; and, according to trusty
accounts, the climate of the Northern route is
milder than that of the road which has al
ready been completed. For an attractive ex-
position of the merits of the project we can
refer our readers to nothing better than Judge
Kelleys speech.
