..Triggoi L u g yrrEs APPOINTED TO AUDIT THE CITY ACCOUNTS RE PORT T T
1 t they have examined the Accounts of the City Treasurer, and find that the is aha ance
1 "-; w
,490 him by the alty of eight hundred and twenty-eght dollars and six corals
'They havq - alsee examined tho reports'of the other City Officers, as hereto rppend , and
-- • find the same to be correct.
The &port of the' editors of the Accounts of 1857 showed a balance in tho City Treasury
on the first of Januar , 1858, of $l,BO, audin the'Aqueduct Fund of $1,470. -I'he Treasnrer
I
disputed the eon& ess of this balance, and on a rigid re-examination of the ac me of
D 357 it appested that City Bonds, amounting, according to their face, to $6,32$ 21 been
arreleowily counted inthe Aqueduct Fund by the Auditing Committee of 1857. ;These onds
c h il l
kid kerspnrehesed from time to time at a discount of from 10 to 15 per cent., the to 1 cost
be . * $5,(,44 91, and had been charged in the Aquecuet Fund as purchased. This act, it
affeersortist not lenrenno that Committee; and as the - bends were not =collect and were
/landed (Nor by the Treasurer as a part of the fund, they were by II readily-undersubd mistake,
trieettouided,, and the balance in that fund was therefore $7,798 21, instead 01i51,470. It
was also discovered ;that a temporary loan, matuting in 1857, amounting to $9,006„ and which
... bad been paid by . the Treasurer, had not been credited to him. We have, therdfore, itffized
to (et report of two accounts a supplementaryaccount for 1857,in which we 'charge the
• Treasurer with the $1,475 80 balance struck against him by the uditing Commi of 1857
sRAC the $6,328 21 error in the Aqueduct Fund, and credithim with the omitted $0 , which,
,- - - afier oorreeding two other , small errors stated in the supplementary account, will ow s bal
, nate inliaravor on the.first day ofJanuary, 1858, of $l,lBl 24. With these co tionb r the
valance his favor on the first . day of January, 1859, was $B 2B 06 -
Theee blunders arose, naturally, oat of the confused and unsystematic way in hick - the
~ gtj'illeksitusta Were ket prior . to the establishment of the Controller's office. II Ting been
s elentedent and tforreeWd, toad Om' city - accounts having been put in a business-li shape by
,-=v,.l,
_ thellontroller, nods r need ha-apprehended of a recurrence of such errors.
I Aro examining the Re of the Waist Committee, we find that that Commit received,
.-unta7.,g the pod year, e sum of Eight Hundred and Six Dollars and Eleven C to for old
%l oft
. - -,teitsituds sold and.. from other sources, which it did not pay into the Treasury; an we learn
-- also that it has tt "Contingent Fund" of its own, which. it expends subject to no ntrol but
that of itself. The sum expended during.the year of this contingent fund and tl t arising
- . *masts seas materials was $773 15. This is oontrdry to the whole tenor of r tiresent
•• Marinellil system, and is the only exception to the general rule. It is the purpose the laws
.
now in force that all money accruing to the city, from whatever source, shall be p 'd
into the
•City Treasury, and paid out only on warrants duly countersigned by the Control r. There
is no reason why any Committee disbursing city funds should be an exception to th rule, and
we recommend that in future, all city officers be directed to pay into the City Emory all
mottier rt itsl from whatever source, so us to make our financial system co.. plate and
This being the first annualsettlement of the financial airturs of the city since the orgaliira
•.,, , lion of the . Oontsoller's office, we have made a careful examination into the 0.. tion and
Ananagement. ' of that department, and we are gratified to find than in its benefici results to
' ".. the,finanees of the city, it has far exceeded the promises and expectations of its mo t sanguine
Through tho operations of the Controller's-office the fiscal affairs of the city, heretofore
hall:tired ill almost inextricable confusion and impenetrable obscurity . , have been b .ught into
•eat hhape as enables both the'citizen and the public officer to perceive at a glen. • our felon
. _ aid ecoulition. Order has been brought out of chaos, and system and practical fo '- in the dir
hutment of the public monies have taken the place of the careless and irre menage
rie* heretofore prevalent, which was followed by steady financial embarrasame . t and WKS
- rapidly drifting us to absolute bankruptcy.
If the reforms inaugurated during the past year shall be scrupulously followed' the future
, we may confidently anticipate that the city will soon realize a financial condition .. be proud
1 • o f. aml which will insure us against a further increase of taxation. --•
Whilst much of this improvement is due to the acts and ordinances establishi. the Con
troller's Department; we are free to acknowledge that much is also due to the fo • ate selee
, tion afthe'proper office for its management.
, , To HENRY LA1111287, Esq., the present admirable head of that department, is .us a very
s ' loge shoe of the credit of the great reforms to which wo have referred. Hein, . o phatical
lh "the right man in the right place." - - His superior financial skill and ability as an SO
&tuatara; his intimate knowledge of the business, of the city, his stern devotion t. a faithful
~- discharge of the onerous duties of his office, his unwavering determination to do ght and to
administer the law lisle finds it, regardless of its effect upon friend or foe, have e abled him
to take held of our city finances when they were but a tangled mass of obscurities .d uneer
, tactics and arrange the whole into a smoothly working and easily understood a em. In a
very brief,peried, and without dust clerical aid which Councils should have font ed him in
his first efforts to disentangle the confused budget committed to him, he, by his .. 'Mont fit
new for the place, was enabled to set in order what was in utter confusion, and .. complete
•
T . aatisfactbrily a wrk from which most men would have shrunk as from a task i.• possible of
. accoinpliehment.' In View of the beneficial results to the city, with which we hay t been made
&familiar daring our examination of the city accounts, we may be pardoned for expressing ,
the wish that the city may long retain the services of an officer so competent.
Itlutsbeen found, of course, during the first year of a new financial system. the there were
some defects in the arrangenients as first made, and that it will take some time' to . e every
thinrwurk smoothly. We have suggested to the Controller, Treasurer and Finan e Commit
tee such changes as we think desirable, and We feel assured that another year's ex • erience of
the m eteor, with the changes indicated, will suffice to consolidate and render it p •. anent.
IV We recommend the adoption of the appended resolution,. The first of these - elution is
4' ittphsined by the fact thht during the year a countersigned warrant for Twelve I alarm woe
altered b some pereon unknown, to Twenty Dollar% and mid in the altered shape %bout de
tection by the Treasurer. The Controller - hassiven the Treasurer credit for only welts Del
ius, iltoproper face of the warrant. and as the Treasurer was really not to blame, we offer a
.. resolution to refund him the eight dollars which he paid out, but for which he It, s received
no credit. RUSSELL ERRETT,

Report of the Superintendent of Water
To Ilk Wafer mni the
Ourrtsuis : I beg leave to submit a statement of
the operation, of the works during Ififk.
The Water Committee, in their last annual report,
recommended various repairs and renewals of ma-
Murry: the requisite fends having been appropriated
by Councils, the work has been satisfactorily per
formed during the year. The leading items were
a new main valve chamber, one new pomp cylinder,
one old cylinder re-bored, with new piston hands for
sub, and °neve, piston rod. Also, two new main
seats and valves. A new supply drum for thebollere,
end • heavy suspender put on the centre of the long
set. The large cheek valves and seats in both as.
°ending mains ware taken out, repaired and replaced.
Three twelve inch flood gate. have been made at the
works, and pot in the pipe' used for washing out
the river mains. Heretofore the arrange:Mint was
Each u to parfait all the water requisite for this
purpose to pees into one line, leaving the other
choked with sand and drift, to a gran extentwithout
remedy; two of thine gates are now so lauded that
the whole amount of water can be directed to either
line, and no difficulty can be experienced in future.
In the Upper Seems Memo there has been erected
• plain and well-working little engine, with pumps
attubed to it. The work was due by McCoy, Bat
ley & Co., and faultlessly answers the purpose de
signed, in giving the engineer uninterrupted muss
to the pomp pit, or any of the lower puts of the
machinery. Previous to the purchase of this engine
it required Mae men a day to accomplish what one
man can now do in an hour. Anew pump Neat and
valve was made, metallic peeking was introduced in
one of the steam cylinders, and the boiler front has
been in Part renewed, making • convenient and
•
economical change.
The following extensions have been made:

MONDAY M. RING, FEBRUARY 21, 15.59.
ESPII.3IIION COWAIIIIICi,"•"Erfanthi: is
infature the policy of our country ; cowards atone
fear and oppose it."
Huth was the language of the Chief Magis
trate of this republic. When it was reported by
telegraph we volunteered a doubt that it had
been uttered by him. We gave the Chief
Magist . rale oredit resp ect sense h i t s othial dignity
and of justice and for fellow eltizone
which he did not deserve. A crowd of exalted
politicians, after first wailing upon and serena
ding a member of Congress and others, treaded
their noisy way to the President's social resi
dence, and that high fanolionaty "In response
to long and repeated cheers, appeared at the
window overlooking the main portico, and ad.l .
denied the audience," in a Atkin that would
have better become Tammany Hall or the Pew
ter Mug than the Meal residence of the na.
tion'a Chief Magistrate. In a colloquial vein of
party exultation, be informed his "audience"
that be "rather thought he should not veto" the
Oregon bill when it came to him, for Oregon
was a state 'filled with tried and noble Democrats."
Yes, that was one of the reasons, which, with
hie head out of the "window ever-looking the
main portico," the President of these It lilted
fllates,with &dignity which we trust 'Quaver be
paralleled, assigned before that penumbulatory
audience for, "rather thinking ho should not veto
that bill." And thin was followed by the decla
ration placed at the head of this arliole.: , Then
the President thanked the crowd for "the honor
paid him" In thus sandwilohleg .him between
their eider, and off went the "audience", to ser
enade some more members of Congrees.
"Expansion is in figure the policy .of our
country, cowards alone fear and, oppose
behalf of some of the most Chivalrous statesmen
of the past and of the present, 'we protest
against James Buchanan's wholesale slander of
his fellow citizens. By what right does he se
same to deny the courage of statesman and
patriots measured with whom he is a Liliputian
of the most Lillpution dimes/lions? And what
right has he to denounce as cowards even the
humblest of his fellow Milieu who may pre
sume to doubt the wisdom of Mr. Buchanan's
dogma ? A .more deliberate, uncalled for or
grosser insult was never offered to the cusses of
the American people by arrtigsnt decipot or true
along press than was thus offered- Jo them by
their own President, when on the memorable
night of February 12, • crowd for once "hon
ored" him, though on their way to visit other
gentlemen, and hi. "appeared at the window,
overlooking the Main portico, and addressed the
audience" in response to long and repeated
cheers.
Arid wo ask farther, by what right James
Buchanan need the authority of his high office
to give effect to- the dogma which .he uttered
from that same window, that. ?lespartaion is the
future policy of our (Wintry ?" Who authori
sed him to make that publicrdsolarallon ? Did
Donnie, and if Congrestedid not, who did, and
who could ? Who empowered him 10 define the
policy of the- country •or fonpeak for the presi
dents and the Congressee that will 'direct the
polio) , of the country when he hie retired into
the private life that it is to be regretted he ever
left ?
Really ever since Mr. Buchanan was selected
to the Chief Magistracy he seems to have tmder
gone a transformation as complete Ss when he
divested himself of his own Individual*, and
became the Cinctinnati. platform. Only the
transformallon is not so harmless In its erects;
for he seems to labor under the Idea that be is,
the sovereign of th ese United States, and the
Democratic party his obedient and enbmiesive
subjects, and the only ones for whom he need
manifest the slightest interest or concern. His
speech from that .'window overlooking the main
portico" of the White Rouse, is but the counter
part of the dogmatic, declaration of the imperial
ruler of Franoe—"the Empire is peace." With
equal presumption PreeldentßuchananSeclares,
"The republic is expansion, and all who op•
pose my will are to be condemned and despised."
"Cowards alone tear .and oppose it." The
President seem to have forgotten that there is a
class of persons who "rush in where wise men
fear to tread."—N. Y. Com. Ado.
Team! or New Oatress.—Tbe 'oily of New
Orleans ranks the 6e001311 port in the foreign
trade of the United States. Serious inoonve
nieueo and lose arise at present to the 'American •
and fiareign nierahante connected with the trade , -
is that city, in consiumence of the reduced depth ,
of water at the mouth of the Mississippi. It
was ascertained two weeks , ago- that there are
only fifteen feet of writer at high tide 7 and the
large Ships destined for foreign porta are Mos'
detained ten to thirty. days, and in fact with
very little prospect of getting out for months to
come. To ettew the vast importune of New •
Orleans as an i mporting port, we annex a view
of clearances of American' and foreign vessels
for foreign codotries far the lastlioal year :

Besides this, the Coasting trade is very large.
From a report in the New Orleans Bee we learn
that on the inside of the bar, waiting to get out,
twenty-air square rigged vessels were found ;
three were hard and fast aground on the bar ;
and outside, endeavoring to eutem were nine
teen vessels. The deepest water which could be
found on the bir at any place was fifteen feet,
and even this depth could only be obtained un
der the favorable cirputostances of a flood-tide
and a heavy swell inward from the Gulf. The
vessels upon the bar wore found to be so firmly
aground that four towboatitattaihed to one Tea
sel, after laboring forty-eight hours, failed to
change her pillion to any consldersible extent.
TOM YAWN! WAZDZIM ry AZllllo4—The Mont. -

joined extract of a letter from an officer of the
Navy, attached to the squadron off. the African
coast, relating to Capt.- Carrie and his vessel :
"After leaving Bongo* our next anchoring
placer was the month of the Congo-River, from
which place an expedition, comprising two gun
boats officered and manned, was sent thirty
miles up the river to search for slavers gener

Cords succeeded in getting on board his used
