1t will be seen that on the LIST day Of
October the beginning Of the fiscal
year, there remain ed in tho treasury but
81, 500 30 subject to dralt for general
State purposes. As none Of tho taxes
for this fiscal year arc required to be
paid III before January %, next, the
amount Of revenue coming in during
the present. quarter will necessarily be
small, and probably inadequate TO meet
tho demands on tue treasury. This is
no. new condition OF thugs; il has
frequently existed before, but heretofore
when it happOned that tho fund provided
for general purposes was exhausted, it
was tho custom to use temporarily the
General School Fund until sufficient
revenue should come in. But changes
in the Constitution aud laws have put
an end 10 this custom.
The General School Fund is now pay.
able, one half October IS, aud tho
remaining hall January 10, in each
year-that is the whole Of this fund is
distributed before January 20, when
thu revenue begins TO come in; there.
fore even if there were no other diff.
culties in the way, this fluid could not
be safely taken or used for any other pur.
pose during this quarter. The School
law, Chapter l23, Sec. 60 Of Acts
1872 81 however provides that 1.-THE
General School Fund shall be ann.
ually applied 10 tho support of schools
Throughout the State, and to no other
purpose" This provision of law is in nc.
cori.ncc with sec. 8, article 10, Of tho
Constitution, which contains the fol.
lowing clause, "nor shall any money
or fund be taken for any other purpose
than that for which it has been or may
be provided"
The Attorney GENERAL was requested
by the acting auditor to give his opinion
as to whether under the clause in the
Constitution just quoted, the general
school fund.- could be drawn upon for
general purposes. IlU held thaiit could
not be done; and fully concur with him
in that opinion. The result may be that
there will not be sufficient available
funds in tho treasury either to meet the
ordinary expenses Of tho State or the
expenses Of the Legislature. But this
is not the only difficulty The demands
on tile treasury durin: the first quarter
Of the year are necessarily increased

the nominees excellent men. Alderman motifs
said he believed that they would be confirmed on
Thursday without much doubt, and this seemed 70 be
the prevailing opinion. Some Of the members said that
az the Mayor had taken a considerable time to make up
his mind IL was due 10 the dignity Of the Board that
is members should take few days to consider the t-
ness OF the nominees before confirming the nominations
IL was deemed best TO make precedent. Alderman
Otteudorfer egarded the nominations fayoraby Alder
man Van schaick. he stated ut the session OF the
Board was favor OF the Health Commissioners but Is
understood view with less favor one or more OF te
Tax Commissioners. The Tammany Aldermen preserve
a discreet silence and will probably await the current

which may arise in the dominant party In the Board
In political circles last evening" the nominations OF
the Mayor the prevailing topic OF conversation
and the probable action OF the Aldermen was eagerly
dIscussed The majority wero inclined to believe that
the Republican Aldermen would not dare TO take the
responsibility of rejecting good men without advancing

cal standing Of the nominees also considered as IL

MAYOR HAVEMEYER's VIEWS.

AreporterOf THE TRIBUNE called last evening
on MAYOR Hayemeyer at his residence West Fourteenth
81 The Mayor was In his usual pleasant mood, aud
seemed not in the least wearied fatgued by the
sure brought 10 bear him by the candidates and their
friends dnrlng the past three weeks. When con-
graduated this fact. he laughed and said that he did
not allow to worry him. He had to grind and
was only the best for the various
positions He all the presented and entered
them on book reference Speaking of tho Board
Of Aldermen he said be did not accept it as any ndica-
ton that the Aldermen would reject his nominations.
They probably wanted time TO consider the character
and fitness OF the nominees II he had been member OF
Board he would have done the same II was not TO
be expected that they would gup down the nominations
without question or debate. He had done his best TO
select good for the various positions. and II they
were rejected the public would probably expect that
good aud sufficient would DO given for such
action He was endeavoring carry out the reform
principles on which he elected. The character OF
bis nominees would withstand the closest scrutiny In
his nominations he lad selected men who represented
the Reform party. There were both Republicans and
Democrats among them.
with reference to the remaining positions 10 be fed
he would select candidates from time 10 time and send
their names 20 the Board. He wished TO make az few
mistakes as possible. Thus far. he believed his course
had met with the approval Of the better class OF the
community His nominees might not always be- or the
most brilliant kind buG nc least they wOnld De honest
men, and such the public could trust Ha would
probably send III some more names 10 the Board OF
Aldermen on Thursday. He thought there would be no
difficulty In the matter OF confirmation He could see
reason for any. The Aldermen only exercising
their prerogaye discussing and debating the htness
