A ROMANTIC LOVE AFFAIR in high life is
the sensation OF Newburg. N. y, society
just now. A very respectfully connectei
young man, while in Texas, last winter, on
business, ran afoul OF a pretty girl of 10, who
had already, for four years. been a wife aud
mother, and when about starting for home
was induced TO marry her, she telling him
that husband No. was dead. He dared not
bring her home, though, and left her ia Mis-
souri,. A week ago, she came on OF her own
accord however, and right away there was
trouble, and the boy speedily found himself
between two fires. His parents refused TO re-
ceive or recognize his wife, while the young.
doubly married girl was equally stubborn,
and getting her boy-husband alone ia the
cemetery "for walk" drew a pistol and
threatened to shoot him. He had no heart 10
face the cold world with her against the home
opposition, so he told her TO shoot. But
then she wouldn't, and instead, putting up
her pistol, sank fainting on the grave. He
picked her up, she revived, and they walked
away. The next incident In the romance
occurred, Sunday, when In the presence OF
her husband. she took killing dose OF NOR
phine; The doctor, however, saved her, but
now the boy has disappeared, and it is re-
ported has been sent of ON a sea voyage.

the city has been compelled to pay to lawyers
and for costs through the Comptroller's litig.
iousness yet no one hopes to discover the
truth except through the labors of the Com
missioners of Accounts or after Mr.. Green's
removal
On the 3Oth of September last Corporation
Counsel Delafeld Smith published a report Of
the suits then pending in his Office against taa
city and of those concluded during the prior
three months. That is the last official state.
ment in our possession, but it affords quite
enough information to prove the deceptive
and untruthful character of this portion of
Mr.. Green's statement More than nine hun
bred suits were then pending, exclusive of
those to set aside or restrain the collection of
assessments, and the amount claimed from the
city in those suits reached nearly eight mill
ion dollars. A large proportion of them were
for debts and alleged liabilities incurred since
September, 1871. During the months of July,
August and September, 1874, which are the
slackest months of the year in the courts, a
little over two hundred suits against the city
were decided or ended In ssventy-four cases
Judgment was given for the plaintiff and the
amount recovered exclusive of costs, was
$241 ,521, besides twenty-five judgments for
salaries, the amounts of which are not
stated in the Corporation Counsel's
report. In one hundred and thirteen
cases the suits were settled or dis
continued on payment of the claims by the
"a orI -, s
involved, exclusive of costs, besides eighty
six cases thus settled in which employees and
laborers were the plaintiffs, the amounts in
volved not being set forth in the Corporation
Counseps report. Out of the suits thus de-
cided or concluded, numbering over two hun.
Of the city, and these not on the main issue.
In one a motion to open judgment wat
granted, in two motions for judgment on an
swer as frivolous were denied, and in one an
application for mandamus was refused. In
one case Judgment was given for the plaintiff
on the ground that the defence put in by the
Comptroller was frivolous. This official re-
port of the Corporation Counsel, covering
only three months out of three years and
three months of Mr.. Green's term of
Office, must be sufficient to satisfy every one
that the Comptroller's reply to the inquiries
of the Aldermen in relation to the cost of liti-
cation is as gross piece of jugglery as his
false statement OF the debt increase and Of tho
amount of outstanding claims against the city.
The necessity of thorough investigation ID
the Finance Department becomes every day
more apparent.

Mr.. Green's Financial Jugglery.

Mr.. Green's Juggling reply to the inquiries
of the Common Council in regard to the con-
dition of the city finances bears so plainly
upon its face the evidence of imposture that
it is surprising to find any intelligent journal
accepting its statements as correct. Besides
disappearing the increase Of the city debt
and stating falsely the number and amount of
"unadjusted claims" against the city, Mr..
Green has evidently made an untruthful ex-
hibit of the litigation in which the city has
been involved during the three years and
quarter prior to the 3Oth December last and
of the expense that has been thereby fastened
upon the city. He states that there have in
that period been five hundred and seventy-two
judgments entered against the city, exclusive
Of assessment cases, amounting in all to
~, 935, $685. including S66,0S2 for costs, of
which about two-hirds were for debts owing
by the city prior to the present Comptrollers
accession to Office. The logged refusal of
MIR. Green to give any information in
regard to these or other matters connected
with the Finance Department renders it
impossible to discover how much money has
really been wasted by him in needless litiga-
ton until the secrets of his confused and
loosely managed Office shall have been
dragged to light in spite of his opposition.
This is what the Aldermen desired to discover,
and this is Just what Mr.. Green's financial
jugglery conceals. Everybody knows it to be
untrue that the sum of sixty-six thousand

The Opening OF tho Harlem River.


Under authority of an act OF Congress Gen.
eral Newton has for several months been oc-
cupied in o careful survey of the Harlem River
and Spuyten Duyvil Creek, and the official re-
port OF his labors we give to the public this
morning. 1t will be observed that nature
navigable waterway connecting the Hudson
and East rivers, or way easily made navi-
gable, and that it is simply owing to neglect
or bad management that it has been blocked.
The growth of this city and the movement of
the population northward make the improve
ment of this line of water communication Of
great Importance to the future, and General
Newtons report only anticipates enter
prises which will soon become COM
pulsory. 1t describes oil the obstruc-
lions to navigation which exist in the
Harlem River, and points out the manner in
which they can be removed. The ideas of
General Newton are liberal and broad, but he
is not too far in advance of his age. The
Harlem River could be made to New York al
most all that the Thames is to London or the
