cal budget for 1876, last evening. spirit OF
economy and relrenchment seems to possess the
MEMBERS and all appropriations were cut down

and like obligations of the city could rot, of
eourse, be reduced, and these items remain as
first submitted The appropriation for the
schools was made the same last year, S60, O00),
although $40, 900 were asked for. An effort WAS
made to cut the appropriation down to $50 600
The usual appropriation of 81 900 for the Board
of Health was reduced to $500, which
some more carriage drives are TIA
ken up the Brandywine, or some visiting gen
temen are entertained at the public expense.
Fhe Opening and Grading Streets appropriation
asked, to $4,000, the disposition nanifesting
itself to defer all the work in this department
which is possible until the " Centennial year.
One item alone, as far as the consideration pro-
gressed. was increased, viz the appropriation
for Public Buildings. which was enlarged
from $4,000 to $l7,01o. This Increase
WINS made for the benefit Of the City Hall and in
Difference to the recommendations Of the Board

REPORT OF THE LEGISLATIVE CoMMIrTEE-INTEa-
FERENCE BY THE o. B.. TROOPS INDoRsED AND
PHIL. SHERIDAN JUSTIFIED.
NEW ORLEANS Jan. IL.
The committee Of the Legislature submitted,
yesterday, a long report of the proceedings OF
January 4tb in which it is asserted that one OF
the Republican members of the House was kid
mapped and held in confinement in a distant par
iAh in order to prevent the election of Republ-
can presiding officer, fifty three of each part be-
ing returned as elected by the Returning Board,
with five seats for which the Board had made no
returns, but referred the matter to the House
for its decision.
The kidnapped member was released after the
meeting day OF the Legislature had gone by, the
kidnappers acknowledging the motive for the
arrest was to prevent his occupying his seat.
The report narrates the occurrences OF the
fourth of January, confirming Gen. sheridan's 3
report in all particulars, and ustiies the action
of the U. S. troops, which it is asserted were
called upon by the committee from the House
after the pretended organization on the part OF
Democrats and that Gen. De Trobriand was
received with cheers when he appeared, the Re
publican members having previously withdrawn

THEY PASS FROM THE HANDS OF THE CLERK
CRY TREASURER vINCENTs EXPLANATION.
MIR. Febiger made the announcementin Coun-
c last evening, that it had come to his know
ledge that alterations were made III the checks
drawn by the clerk and signed by the President
after passing from their hands, the name of the
payee being changed, Or the word ''order" erased
and sbearer" inserted. The Finance Committee
u omised to give the matter its attention.
This morning, COMMERCIAL reporter called
on City Treasurer Vincent in relation to the mat
ter, WHO confessed to tho alteration of the
cteeks 70 far as the n9me of the
payee was concerned. but denied that the
word .'order' had ever been erased by him. and
.nid tllat the figures on the checks had never
been tampered with. He interlined the names
Of low pavees, he SAID, for the convenience of
tho parties to whom the checks were drawn and
for tho faclltation of the busine OF
lis Office, adding that it had
been the custom with preceding Treasurers to
do tile same thing. The occasion for this alter
alton of the checks he says, grows out of cases
wherein the payees:resde at al ilconvenient dis
tauce from the city. and to AVOID the trouble OF
presenting themselves personally at tho office
fthe amounts being small, sometimes not more
than dollar or two) they depuze some friend
in Wilmington to draw amounts for them, the
