\ WORD WITH OUR FRIENDS

? i <lnic its circulation s.a.?
than three weeks, dunng which anws
.., . j r -no ?nnies and we commence the

new week with an edition of Six Thousand. We arc abend
entry encouraged and strengthened by this gcner.as pntron
age.' Although oer eatptrnsos hare largely exceeded, as :no-e
of a new paper afforded so cheap a- " ir- mu-t ,.e-.-?ar..;.
exceed, the receipts, wo yet feel that ''All's well." Oer
Advertising Patronage has also been q.:it-.- equal to obi anti?
cipations, and is steadily increasing. In fact, the sharaeter
of our circulation, being ?aiDly amonsr the active and sab
stantral Middle Class ?f our citizens?those who live by their
labor or their business, and are neither above the necessity
nor devoid of the ability to buy and sell to the lest advan?
tage? renders r-ur sheet no excellent medium for advertisers.
Its circulation is now exceeded by not more than two Other
Dailies in our City; and if our friends will but continue to
approve and aid nor arduous enterprise as they have tar
done, our subscription will be the largest in the City betorn
the close of the Season. We lose money on our circulation
by itself considered ; but witn CO.000 subscribers we can com?
mand euiiti Advertising and such prices for it fi' n .. rendei
our enterprise a remunerating one, and enable u? to increase
still farther the expenses we n?w incur in procuring the ear?
liest and most authentic intelligence.
But we cannot hope to accomplish this by our own single
handed efforts, however arduous; we need and solicit the
generous and constant cooperation of our friends, and of a.i
who believe that such a paper as The Tribune i1 needed s.r:d
will exert a healthful influence in our City. We are doomed
to encounter a bitter and relentless opposition. Toe mana?

failing t? serve tke subscriber-, as one or two rivals have
Leon killed hitlicrtw. has come square rouod on the r.tle-r
tack, and proclaims that no carrier or newsman vho tercet

is but an item of the various means taken to break down this
paper. It may succeed in keeping a few of cur patrons out ;
of tkeir papers for a day or two, hat in nothing farther if ou
frionds stand by us. Whig:. of New-York and vicinity ! our
appeal is to you!?our trust is in you! You know us, and
will judge whether our paper deserves to be sustained. We
only ask you to do for us what your own feelings and thl
tercsts ot the Whig Cause shall dictate ; and if you deem the
latter will be promoted by the support and dissemination of
The Tribun.', sat so t<> rotjR friends.
OFFICES AND SINECURES UNDER THE CORPO?
RATION.
It is undeniably true, that the services of a very consider?
able body of men. of various professions and qualifications,
arc required to control and manage skilfully the necessary
departments of the government of this great City. It is pro?
per, ulso, that thus* men should receive a reasonable ci m
pensntion for such services, and nothing mote. The fact that
a vast amount of wealth lias accumulated in this City, does
not afford any sufficient ceason why the taxes should be pro
portinnnldy increased, hjl quite the contrary. If it be true,
as the Comptroller states, that the taxable property in the
City and County of New-York is valued a: two hundred and
fifty-two millions of dollar?more than five-thirteenths nf ail
the taxable property in the State?it follows as a necessary
consequence that the taxation on the whom amount of pro?
perty in the City ought to be much less t'sian in a County in
the country, of ten times greater superficial extent Rid c:'
only one-tenth part of its population. It is absurd, therefore,
to contend, as the Comptroller does in his report, that we
ought to be satisfied because the rate of taxation upon the
value ot" property is not greater in this City thau in the coun?
try. The truth it, that after taking every necessary expense
into the account, any candid man must admit that it on?ht
Mot to be more than one-third the amount. As hrts been often
said, nut only the interest of every individual :tt the City, but |
its future prosperity, requires that its necessarily multifu
concerns should be managed with the mo-t ri^id economy.
In our last article on this subject we alluded to what may
be properly called the 'civil list' of the Corporation, and j
pointed out some offices that we deemed unnecessary, und '
Othct* where the salaries were too high, ;:::J disproportioncd
to tho services performed. Wo shall now eali the attention
?f the Common Council, and of the public, to a great number
of ofliaos. the duties of which are little known, and !cs,,ai Iv
defined; a ;n ut many of winch w ould be altogether anm ? s
Mary under a pr.'per organization of the City loovcrnmcnt?
ami some of which are absolute sinecure*. We can rind no
? Blue Book' containing a list of all the office-holders under
the Corporation; such a compilation would be voluminous.
JNor have we leisure to look them oat from thu laws and ordi?
nances, or ?pneo to ie.-i<rd t'u-m. We siia? merely sckcta
few, to whom reference is ma Ic i:i the Comptroll? r's report.
First, of Commissioners. This city abounds with officers
of this denomination, some of whom receive salaries and
some do not; some have duties to perform and some appa?
rently none. The Alms House Commissioners !tave no sn
larics. but like Schureman we presume they sometimes do
<rivo a profit upon purchases. Commissioner for opening
streets: We find no salary set down '.' r this officer, and pro- !
sumo that his profits also are contingent. So also with the
Surveyors for opening street;. The A [ueduct Commissioner
has a salary, ami so have tho three Fire Commissioners, of
$1,000 each. But we think the system of transacting the
publi' business, by means of Boards ef Commissioners, objec?
tionable. They have always been found inefficient. Most
of their duties can be better performed by an individual than
by a Board : which would be n considerable reduction in the
expense to the public, whether the expense came from sala?
ries ?r from perquisites and plnndi r in any other way. It is
necessary to look into this subject.
Next we have an army of Superintendents with their ch rks,
enjoying various salaries from five to fifteen hundred s!ollars
oach; Superintendent of Diwks and Piers, with thirteen V -.-!.
Masters, salaries ^7,959.; ditto Rcservcrirw?h Surveyor
avd Engineer, salaries $2,700; <!;.:.> of Roads, salaries
$l.oO-l 35, ditto ?f Buildings with Clerk, salaries $1.940 J3;
ditto of Streets and Clerk, salary $17?i>: ditto of Lamps and
Gas. satury $1000; ditto s.1 Markets with twelve Clerks,? !
beside many others in diSercnt departments. Of the same
charaetei are ;he Keepers of tho Battery. Park. Washington j
and Tompkh s Squares, salaries $2.71175. Some of these
?ffice?(are doubtless necossary, but many them are actual
sinecures, and in all the salaries are extravagantly h .
jnajportion to the duties required.
We also find seven Collectors of Assessments; besides .-.
host of deputies. It seems that the expense of the collec?
tions arc unreason ably large. Alse, three C il'e< tors of the
A tears ?f Taxe?, with salaries averaging over each.
This is evidently s'mer manufactured patronage, an ! a gross
al use. The officets efth" Board of Health receive $1,000 ?
sa!; ri.-s. Has that Board any tiling to \a at the present
time 'hat can justify s-^.-h salaries * These are but a portion
of the miscellaneous brood of office-holders, tha t are spread
?.vor the city, and live at the expense of the People.

The Senate then wen: into Committee of the Whole or. the

In Assexbi v. Mr. Hoffman, from the minority of the Com?

Commissionors of the Land '.orics to report whether tho land

with desperate energy by the Opposition, whose candidates

north CAROLINA.?The VVhig majority in :.y.- Western

ID7" Spring mu.-t be joking. S-sch days a* yesterday and day
before answ er well enough for a change in November or very
late in October, but they have no business wi:h May. It was
easy to sec on Saturday. front the profusion of tables, rugs,

small wit in the newspapers, that May-d;y bad come j but-j

! Cleveland in 13-10 was equal to 4,755,950 bushels; a: Huron
I it wa? equivalent to 172,578: and the'aggregate export of Ohio :

j Tire export bv the river, although cannot be reckoned with

tal amount of Wheat, exported from Ohio during that year
not less than 7.:.G0.009 bushel.-. The same writer q-oies a
statement from Gev. Se ward's. !a?t Mo-iac-e?that a .iua.tiry
of Wheat equal :o 10,420,870 bushels had been received du

This statement depict1 in bright colors the grouting wealth
ant- productive ir.rlu-rry of Ohio. \s an agricultural State

than any otiter the great staples of trade and the necessaries
of life. Th:s is true, subs tart rial wealth : cot exposed to de
raagcrocnt arm fluctuation, but regular in its return as the
seat and dependent only upon the never-failing bounty of
Providence and :h= never-unrewarded industry of man.
Death of n Minister.?-We nbscrve it: the Vermont papers
notices of the recent death of Rev. \-a Lyon a: North Hero
in that State. Mr. Lyon he- been for many year; a minister
of the Gospel, and has also held many political otEces of
great trust. He was for seme time a Member of the State
Legislature, and for a brief period Representative in Con
press. Naturally possessed of a strong mind, be devoted
himself with unceasing earnestness to classical and theolo?
gical studies, n^d was considerably distinguished for fats va?
ried and '.Imriugh scholarship. Although possessed of ample
wealth, he lived in a sty I" of extreme and even rude simpli?
city; his habits were unsocial, and he had the slighte-t nos
siblc intercourse even with his nearest neighbors. ?'.< a
preacher, his sermons were well written and very generally
acceptable. It is said that he has left a large and probably
valuable collection of manuscripts.
Murder.?A horrible murder was committed near Centre
viHc, Git., about the middle of April, !>v a man named B. W
Murdock, who some three years since kept an oyster cellar
jn Cnatham Square, ;n this city. It seems ihn: in company
with his victim, whose name was Thurmond, and who assist?
ed him in the enterprise, hs ran away from his creditors in
Athens. Ga. Whim they arrived near Ccnmville, they en?
camped for the .v.ght?and here the horrible deed was per
petrated for tin sake of about .* lt/0 which Thurmond had
with him. The body was found buried near a log, Murdock
pcTiued, and a bloody ha: hct found i. his truck, the blade
also csvered with clay similar to that where the crave was :
tlug. He ha? I 'en committed to jail.
Another Burglary.?The st?re of Messrs. Henry Bailey
& Co. iti Bo-ton was entered by false keys on Thursday
evening of las; week a id several hundred dollars were
-tolen from the drawers. In in-- drawer which they opent .',
at.d from which they took the key ot' the safe, were ? two
contingent friends,' well loaded, to give any intruder a warm
reception. One of these they had placed on the counter, near
the door through.which they entcied, no doubt f*r the pur?
pose i?t shooting any person who might come in and find
hers in the stors*.
Kj3 A steamboat, in descending the Mississippi, when
about 25 mill.- ftom the mouth of Black lliver, picked up a
woman and . i.:id from u snag iri the middle of the River,
where they had been for four or five hours. She said that,
in company with 6vo ot'.-r person-?three of them her ow n
children?he started for a town below in a small boat,which
struck a snag, was overset, ar.d her five companions drowned.
She t.-as carried down to Elizabeth, and a subscription of ?00
was raised for her. She was a w idow , and lost all her little
property by the accident.
