PUBLLSHXD By TB1E KYASSTILLK JOVKSAL COMPAXT, WEDNESDAY KBllUAKY 23, 19. The CondltTon cfjlic City Flnancrs. At the last seion ; of the City Council, as appeared by our report in yesterday's" Journal, Mt. Steele asked tbe;.JIayor to submit to the Council ' statement embracing the following facts: 1. Whatf amount and character of city bond-rare now outstanding; the amount of interest and date.of m:itursty. r .L- -. 2. The amount of city orders outstanding at this date. 3. The amount of bank loins now existiriff. . 4. An approximate estimate, of the city indabtedness to i. date, BOt included iu the three former items. It is customary; in all corporations and political or legislative bodies, to ask for and receive a specific or general statement of financial matters, at any time th it li may be deemed necessary. Aud it.ocver'was considered a good answer to such" inquiries that it was customary to submit an annual statement. That comes as "a, matter of course But thero are times when it is peculiarly important tojl'know at once how the financial affairs of a corporation stand? If one of ouf National B ioks was -.thought to be in a doubtful condition, and the -Board of Director askoi the President to submit to them, within a reasonable time. a statement of its affair3.ro. man of integrity or business capacity would decline to giveit, and state as a reason for refusal that at the end of the fiscal year, it was his custom to make such a report, and that it would be time enough then for them to ask for it. Such an answer would secure his immediate veoval and disgrace. But w.Her the Republican members of the City Coitncil"1xnited"in a re quest fo WayorWALKTER toTurnish a of the citytEcy Imefcvwith; thoepy. that Le would make bis annual state ment af the close bf the year, and the stance, refused to, call for the report, giving as a reason lhat i was' estab lishing a r. qia fireredent f ' And .the Jlayor very gravely said that it could not be made up in less than two weukj.; JL-ti 4 ill I It may be asked, why should such. a report b5 called for at this time? We answer AVhen thejcomplaiat Js very generally made that the taxes have been increased thirty-three per cent, in one year, the Mayor and Democratic Coancilnieo- give as thp reason for it that they were compoireu to levy the increased taxes to juiy tfie debts of ifm former. JUaidr. and old Council. The total amount of taxes levied in ISoS was, according to the Mayor's figures, $52,537 43 more than in lSoT'It Is important to know whether this largely increased amount of money, levied oitemibly to pay the old debfs of the City, 'has" been: "used for that purpose ;'and there ia no way in which it can be made known unless we geJ; such a 'statement as the one called for by Mr. Steele. Aud this fact thouldtbe made: known to the, tax-payers of lwansville ow. It more, than fifty thousand dollars have been taken . from the pocket) . of the, people for .this purpose, it is highly important to know., before tui next election, whether" the present Counoil and Mayor have rightfully appropriated it, or whether tkey have squandered it upon, extravagant, and" lazy officials, and unnecessary improvements, which might havd been post-" poned: ' " ' : 1! ' 'u We allege that a full and truthful statement of. the "City :V finances 'will show that, in place of reducing the debt, t heMayof liounp'rcsnrCoulScirti largthj i ncreus&i-if. f .While the pep. pie have paid heavier taxe3 than ever before in the history of the Cityf'tho debt of Evanaville to-cjay 'is larger than it ever wa.. -If 'this- is ns the fofiO Jl Mayoif, Walker comply .with the earnest demand., of tax-payers and shpy what he has dona ,w.Hb.,rfhe mouey. We affirm that never in any pvt administratioQ lia ther been so grea t a n expe nd i turo' for City officials, never such liberal 'allowances , to favorita political jobbew, -.neves; such uafreceie rated Bank discoant, pever sAh fina'ncial mrsnian3gementr'ahd extravagance. Mayor WAlker knows this, and he further knows that such a report as that -called - for at the last sS4iau:$f;tjia tArnnoil ;wyaldlcpntign bin and his party( to hopeless defeat and disgrace at April election. Anijjhij and his , lmoeratic asso ciates in the Council, have shown theTf7?;fafsi?aclty1n'ri?!rrgtre reasonable inquiry'deiaan Jo'd "by fas-' payers..?!.'!.!.:! KV.irtU.J It is a flimsy pretext set up by the Mayor that it would take two week to make such a report; but if it would require two jseclcs for him to get it up, why did be not ak fof that time, and like a faitLTuToGcer, !who was not afraid to Jct tbejpeople know tthe facts, give them cheerfully? It is a emull aattr taascertaia 4.U i anfonnl of City Bonds, outstanding. - He has a record- of iftem" Va1 his' possession, and that could bo given in few min-j, utes. Les-s than two days would suffice to ma"ke up a 'statement of the outsUnding " orders r: an exaininatidii of- tb Reoonl-of-Ottler and thelass Bistance of tbe'CJtytTreaiurer are all that would be necessary to furnish the second item-'IIeouhtto bcable ti tell iq a few moments, tho aniount of the'BauL 'jtlebtSj'aad, as'the facts are in his possession, no other person can tell theui. The fourth item isall thai would require time,' and it : will be seen the resolution , only contemplated an apiyroximnte estimate. iv If the 3Iaybr is the great financial prodigy, which he claimed to' be last Spriug from the etuuip, he ought to Lave that estimate always at bis tongue' end.

Kverybody will remember the case of the unfortunate orphan girl, who, some twelve or fourteen years ago, was takeu from the poor-house by a fiend Iu human shape named Airs. Decker, who resided at tbe time ou Htaten Island. It will be in the reooiiecllon of many how this poor, friendless Utile creature was tortured by tbe wretch who bad adopted her, till death kindly put an end to her sufferings, liow she was U-aten till her little body was a luass of bruises starved till her bom-s stained burnt I ng through tbe skiu turned out Into the bitter cold Almost naked till her feet were blistered with front, aud her emaciated frame racked by rheumatism while alt the while the monster who subjected tier to sueh tortures attended church regularly aud was regurded as little le&s than a saint by those who did not know her. - This, as we have said, occurred nearly a seine of years ago, but who cau say how many similar cases have happened since are happening every day in fact. The Mis. Deckers are not a'l dead yet society ia lull of them and tuelr victims, and.what la worse, this will always be tue case lid the mlilenlum comes. We cannot alter human ntloie, bnt we can do tbe next best tin nil we cau expose sueo atrocities when they come to light, aud such Is our Duroose at me present time. Anyoogy who will follow us through the following narrative of wrous and retribution will acknowledge the full force of all which we have said, and wilt feet themselves well repaid for their trouble as well.

The boy wt- about lourtt-eu yeai s 01 age. and though shabbily dressed ana wr. ttn ed-looking enough, theie vas somet biog about his countenance which could not fail to impress a close observer favorably ' Mr., Seymour ha 1 just returned from a dri e out ou tbe avenue in his magnificent s elgh, and was about entering the door of his residence wui-u tue hoy, wu had been ookinsz wistfully, a-s - he walked along ut the wl dows of the rich mansions iu .rout of which he was passing, paused aud ac costed him. Aoou', an hour after the above cnversa. tiou, Mr. Seymour, tenia dessed for the street, stood gaclng from tbe wind'-w of h s front parlor. . Already he regretted thut he had so rudely answered the boy's petitino, and in imagination he again beheld the pleading face. Suddeuiy an exclsrastlon, ball of fear, half of surprise, burit from bis lips s he actually met tbe mournful gaze of the boy s large, sorrowiui eyes. . It was but a single glance, and the boy passed away wllhoqt offering to stop, bnt soou recovering himself, Mr. Seymour sprang to the hall, then out at tbe door, auu in an instant was at me uoy s siae. "Here, boy J'' he said hurriedly, as he touched tbe lad on the shoulder, " have tou not what you were asking for yet? 1 "No, sir," replied the boy dejectedly; " tbe people tell me that I am too small to shovel snow, and too big to beg, aud so I suppose I shall have to go home without auytbing. mo, 1 won t, tnougn," ne aaa ed suddenly, while a look of savag reck leissn ess settled upon his features "ic, j woo'li- I have never doueanythlng wick ed yet, but I'll steal I'll witirder before I go home without aa thing!" Uood gracious, boy?" exclaimed Mr. Seymour, ' whtt are yoa saying? Upon mv life you talk like a perfect youne sav age. Here here's some change for you!" Aud he placed iu his hand a few silver coins. ; . . i i Instantly the look of blank despair vanishud from the boy's face, and an exDre-t-sioa of intense Batlifaction took Its place. as eagerly clutching the money which the rich man nau neiu oui 10 mm, ne nasiuy lacalaied a fervent " Thanke'ee, sir!" and tied away up. the street at his topmost speed. Mr. 8eymonr'i.tood looking after the boy till he saw him enter a baker's shop on the corner, and then lie mecuamcaiiy lot lowed in toe same direction. - "Ho he tuat hungry," be muttered, as he walked along, " aud perhaps he ma; be connected with some one who is also hungry.. Who can. tel 1 I don't know that it 'a anything to me, but, by (ieorge ! something which I cannot exactly understand Impels me to follow him, and I wiU do so, let what will come of it." Th boy was hungry vera hungry for, as h emerged from the baker's shop, elutcbing a loaf of bread In his nervous grasp, Mr. Seymour, who followed closely, observed that he tore a piece from it and ravenously gnawed it as ha started on a run. At length the boy darted n a dark alleyway, the entrance to which Mr. Seymour reach ed Justin time to see the object of his pursuit enter a tenant-building which stood far back in the rear. Mr. Seymour also entered the dismal habitation, and, after some delay, found himself in an apartment on the second floor. The room was a small one, and from its position the light of day, except at meridian (it was about threw o'clock then) was almost excluded. The floor was cleanly scrubbed, the walls were white, and the window-panes, what few were left, glistened brightly in tbe sunlight; bat save a clean board which. reslin4 upon a barrel, terved as a table, and a bed which ocennied the darkest corner of the room on the floor, the apartment contained no furniture.' fitting bolt nprignt upon this latter article was a woman, wasted away almost u skeleton in bo in her bony hands she cutched a loaf of bread, from which she had ravenously torn a mouthful, and lying prone at her side, with his face bnried In the pillow, and groaning and sobbing piteously, was the boy whom the rich man had followed. Mr. Seymour was unable to scan tbe

womau'H featarta ploheiy. Hit th l.rigbk Klaifc oi the snii upon the suow without had teuopoiailly unfitted hU eyes to view objects in a subdued light, but he saw enough to shock him greatly, and stooping down he placed his hand npon the shoulder of the hov. and shakiue him

gently, he said in a kindly tone: "IK-t'Up, my little man, and r rhn pat for d'"" juuio inking ioou man mis., iou shall want lor noihlng now, fori will be jour friend. See. hre Is money!" And as he epoke he took some silver coins from nis pocket. ltlsiug from his recumbent position as tbe first f.nei of th gei-Meman's voice fell upon bis ears, the boy turued and laced the latter, woo was surprised to see upon his features, not a look of grat itude, but au expresstoa amounting almost to Ul ll!Uliy. " Uo away I" exclaimed the boy. bitterly "KO away, aud leave m aloue. I hate j-ui." . . . . "And why should yon hate me. mv poor lad? inquired Mr. Seymour, iu a toue of nuieigued fcurpiine. " JL never injured l on nave!

"I betieve I am," returned th'a boy, ve hemeutly, "and it wouldn't ha mucn to wonder at if 1 did. I wth I was crazy or aeau.i wouiun f care wuiou. Mr. Seymour was about to make sme conciliftf.ory reply.bnt before he could doso the door openea.and a litttegiri about nine years oi ageentered, bearing iu her band bowl of soap. She was a beautifni. brlh looking child, although her clothes were untidy, and her hair w.is uncombed, and fell strangling around her face. Her large oiue eye were iuu ot gentleness and love, and an almost angelic look I eh ted npon ner meek, retiring countenance. ene was somewhat disconcerted, upon u.scovering a stianger, out beckoning tn boy to a corner, sne said in a wnisper. while a smile of joy lighted up her little, thin face: " Here, Charley, I've brought a bowl of real nicesouo for yonr mother, and 1 know It 'ill do her good. Mrs. Maddox, who lives up stairs, gave it to me ror ietcniu g ner a pall of water, but I'm not hungry, aud it win be so nice lor your poor mother." The boy's lip quivered, as he struggled to subdue some teriible emotion, and he answered, at last, in a husky voice: "She don't want it, Maggie i know the aon i you eat, it yourself. " Who istliateentleman." whispered the girl, at the saiue time stealing a glance at air. seymour. - - -.. " He is a" rich man," answered tbe boy aioud. "who lives m a great house n town." " Oh, I am so glad !" exclaimed the girl joyously, lor l am sue he will do some thins for your mother! ''of course I will, my little lady," said Mr. Seymour" that Is what 1 came here ror." " So yoa won't !" exclaimed the boy bitterly. because you can't help her now If you had given me only five ceuis when i nrst asuea you lor it, it migui, pernaps, nave aone some gooa, but it s too late now Loon aiuerl ' Aud again throwing mm self face downward nuou the btV. he cave away to auothar passionate outburst of grief.

"Yes." sobbed the boy. "dead dead dead ! Aud wheu they put her in tbe cold ground, I shall be alone all alone I There will be uo one to care for me then 1" While he was thus wildly lamenting, the little girl had piacetl her bowl upon the rude table, and with the tears stand ing in her mild eyes had advanced toward him. Kiieeunst beside htm as the despair lug words left his lips, she threw her little white arms around his neck, and mur. mured, in a tone of mingled pathos and gent ia repro.acn : " So oue, did yoa say, Charley? No one at all" Instantly the boy checked his vlo'en grief, and looking up through his tenrs, li replied, as he affectionately pressed he baud : "Oh. I forgot you Maggie I forgot yon out you mustn't uiame me. l was inniK tngof no till us but ber. It will le so v-ry Very hard to see them take her away !' Hy Ibis Mine Mr.Scymoor bad recovered somewhat from the first shock whu-lt bis feelings had sustained, and approchin close to the corpse, he began to peruse tae features attentively. A inriu Of norm shook his frame anew as he did so. for not withstanding the change which detii h bad made, he felt morally certain he hud seen tbe race oeiore nnuer tar amereni circum stauces. " What is your name, boy," he asked excitedly, turning toward the norrowui lad. The boy was stubborn, and would not answer, but his little companion replied " His name is unariey llollister, sir.' " It is she, and we have met xgntu ut last bnt under what terrible drcutimt -mce Oil, what a frightful, frightiul death for her to die!" He spoke truly.

Dr. MeNab had good reasons for feeling imerested in the children, and whatbose reasons were wlU appear In the course of our story. . . , ?' ( , , i It was one morning about a week after the events just narrated took place, that Mr. and Mrs. Seymour sat at the breakfast table, tbe gentleman reading the nurumg paper and sipping bli coffe by turns, wnile the lady remained silent, apparently in deep thought about souicUil g. At length, (browing down his paper and emptying his cup. at a draught, Mr. Seymour said, with a sigh : "I never take up a paper of late, my deae, that I do not come across the details of eouie horrible case of destitution aud m seiy." "I have noticed, Andrew," said Ms. Seymour, "that of late you seem more than usually Interested lu the sufferings of the, poor. My attention, ton, has been muuh attracted to sueh caes siuce 1 beard ol your praiseworthy ection in reference to that unfortunate woman who Uied of starvation. Alihoughl must admit that your condui-t was commendable, 1 cannot nuderstrtiid why you huve taken such an iuterrstin ber orphan boy. After superintending the funeral, and paying all the expenses you bring two destitute children here to your owu home, one of them tbe unfortunate woman's son." Mrs. Seymour paused, lu order to give her husban i an opportunity to say sometniug in explanation, but he remained silent, and she continued : . ."Aud another sinnlHr ' phase of .this mow singular matter Is that yon sfm less incljiird lo converse about the boy than you do about the girl. Without any Inquiry upon my pirt. you told nio all you knew about the girl, brU wheu I ventured lo question you coiiciH aing the loy, you Yiuceil a palpabl dlslncliuat ion to converse on the subject, and would not give me the slUhtei s.tislaetioa." " Well, my dear," said Mr. Seymour, a pparently with great rtiBttsince, "it is true that I have all along tried to avoid this snbjeet, but, as you force me to it, I will admit that there Is a mystery about the boy and his mother a my-stery which 1 have reasons of my own for not wiching to explain, and which ould-advantaga you nothing, even If I should doso. la me implore you, then, a you value our domestic quiet, not to allude to the stibieet agiln. . The boy will bo out of il.e bouse snortly, and, alter he s gone, let us cease to talk of the past, I spoke to an employing silversmith a twit, him yesterday, Mr. Barak Jeffries, and Chirley ii to be placed in his care to-morrow. But bow about your little protegre, Maggie? Have you found a place for her j el, or do you mean to adopt her?" "1 would willingly adopt ber," replied Mrs.- Seymour, who saw at once tbat it wonld be useless to attempt to penetrate her husband's secret, and who assumed a satisfaction she by no means felt; "If I c mld reconcile such a course wi:h my conscience, but I fear I am, grow ug too foud of ber, aud we should not place our anVetious upon tilings of this earth. Tne laot lhat our heavenly father -has never blessed ns with children is the best proof that He intended 1 thould devote rayseif entirely to Hi service. She is a sweetehlld, and I am happy in having been able to pluck her as a brand from the burnlnsr, (this was a favorite-expression with the lady.) but I cannot m ke np ny mind to assume the entire eare of hot . and ko I think 1 will permit nMrs. IVvtie:t, who Ins in in le appiieifina to our-Society for a little girl to adopt, lo take ber. bhe seems a ve-y pious kind of womau, and has

And had Mrs. Seymou been aware of it, her philanthropic hcai would have thrilled with horror, and she would as soon have thought of placing the helplesi little oue In the keeping of a wild beast. - - - - - Aa hour, later, after Mr. Seymour had left the bouse, to attend to business, Mrn. U.xsketl maile her appearance, wishing to consult w-th Mrs. beymour about taking charge of Maggie. - " How old old you say she was?" asked Mrs. lHH.-kett. after some prillmlnarv ou sei valions had parsed betweeu herself and Mr. Seymour. "It is impossible to say, exactly," replied rno latter laay, ior toe cniiu aoes no know her age. I should suppose her, however, to Ih about nine yearsold." "Tho dear child !" exclaimed Mrs. Dock of, wifn iervor; "and what is her name. memr"Of that we are also iarnorant." an swered Mr-. Seymour" she is a poor little waif ot whose history we have been able to learn but little. About thrte years a her RUior, a besotted creature, who was not hi to have the cbarge of a dog, much less a fender child, hired a room in l HMwa frum wliu-li we took her. He died miserably in prl-sou not ioi afurwud of d.:Urum Iremenn. and from that time til we found her, the lit tie unfortunate picket) up her living by running errands for the tenants. Maggie Is the only name by which she Is at present k nown." " The poor darlin', nnfortnlt little soul !" exclaimed Mrs. Dockett, applying lief handkerchief lo her eyes. " Oh.

Among the apprentlres who oneratA l in the " beo-hive, ' as the shod- was termeri bv Mr. decries, was a liltln. rutin. inni consomptive-looking boy. about th ma of Cliarles Hoil later, who at ouce attracted the attention and excited the commiseration of the newly-entered apprentice, who fell a secret satisfaction when be whs Informed that the boy in question, whose, name waslllchard Manners, was to Iim km room-mate.

"I won't talk to you Charley," replied the boy, iu a whinner so low as to be almost inaudible, "if you don't fponk lower. 1 kuow he is around somewhere, and 1 tell you be will hear you."- " Weil, then," whispered llollisfer. who. willing to (.'ratify the lad, brought his voice down tribe lowest ritch.

"I knew he wns around : whispered the little unfortunate. " on ! won't I catch it for this?" And turning hl back to his compauiou, he refused to 6ay another word, i The boy's warning was not without Hi effect upon the mind of young llollisfer; but having once reolved upon bis course of action, he was not easily to be swerved therefrom; aud before closing his eyes In sleep he determined to carry out his original purpose, let what would happen whicn be subsequently did : hut be bail not been aa indented apprentice forty-eight hours when be bitterly regretted uot 1m viu takeu bis little rooru-mate's advic-. b rom tbe moment the, documents were signed which placed Chares Hoillster lienealh the cntiie control of Mr. Jeffries for seven years, tho diueauor of t he latter toward Ins apprentices underwent mo complete a change, that the i.ewly bound lad, allhouii pre;arod to witness something of tne kind f;oiu what Hick Manners had sild, was greatly u-tfonished. Ignorant or the world, ami thoroughly artless and honest himself, he never imagined lhat anyone could exorcise sii:h hypocrisy. Hurins the whol ir-rtnight while he was on trial, he ha 1 no; irv d tnat t he boys wer treated with great, consideration. All this wascliabed, liowever, as soon as tl puyte btiL-amo a lull -fledPd " bo I nen ttfn were Imposed njon the Ill-starred apprentices, the completion of which tiok from twelve lo sixteen nour-t per day, and they were conip:'ild lo sutunlt daily m a tiKiusand harrowing piece-i t lnjiiilie, wbih wer calculated to wound lb prlJoauU lactraie tliefeellngt ol uny hoy possessing Km hllgbtest spirit.

Walking from one to another of his apprentices, he bestowed upon each as ho passed along some biting Innuendo or soul-cutting remark which admitted ot no reply, till at 1 en gill he fttood behind Hick Manners, who felt bis presence ill though be did not sea him, and who shuddered as he continued his work without looking up. "Ilichard!" Rqneaked the Immaculate proprietor of the " beehive."

At t he souud of bis voice both boys iot.iteii up, and j-iot nster noticed that the tyrant lieid in bis band a rawhide, which till lueu be had kept concealed behind blm. "Richard!" repeated Jeffries, "you did not llut.sh soldering them ere thimbles last night." z." No, sir," replied the boy, apprehensively, "If yoa please, sir, I couldn't." "Couldn't," exclaimed Mr. Jeffries, aasanung a look of offended itlsnlty, ciu dn't, sir? Ho you mean to tell mo to my face that I have Imposed a task npon oue of my boys which ho couldn't tierform?
