ENFORCED ECONOMY.
A SLIGHT BEGINNING.
A Strong Contrast Between the
State and City.
The Debt of the Former Rapidly
Being Extinguished.
A'Rude Awakening for Some of the
Departments.
WHERE- THE PRUNING-KNIFE WAS APPLIED.
THE SINECURES IN THE COURTS.
There are net wanting indications that at length
the people of this city are becoming aroused to the
necessity for reducing the army of officials that
swarm in the various departments of the city gov
ernment, and, so far as possible, reducing the exor
bitant salaries that are paid the judges of the va
rious courts and their clerks. There has been a
good deal done within the past two years toward re
ducing expenses in some departments, but there is
a fair opportunity now presented to continue the
work in some of the other departments. Mr. Elliott
C. Cowdin, in behalf of the commercial classes of
this city, has introduced a resolution in the Assem
bly instructing the Committee on Cities when ap
pointed, to report what measures are necessary to
best secure retrenchment and reform in the muni
cipal government of this city. It is understood that
a bill will be introduced as soon as possible after the
Assembly is fairly organized, looking toward the se
curing of these objects. The best men of both par
ties feel that something must be done or New York
will soon lose its commercial supremacy. The dif
ference in the c;st of transportation of two or three
cents per bushel of wheat or corn has been found
sufficient to almost arrest the shipment to this port
during the recent railroad war, and it was the prin
cipal reason why Commodore Vanderbilt so persist
ently refused to again allow any discrimination in
favor of Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Dispatch
has for the past three years steadily advocated
RETRENCHMENT IN THE CITY GOVERNMENT,
on the ground that the city’s prosperity depended
on it. If taxes are to remain where they are, with
the reduced profits on all kinds of business, capital
■will be driven elsewhere. There is no question as to.
this.
In two of the departments of the city government,
where there was uncalled-for extravagance, there
have been considerable reductions made by the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment for the years
1876 and 1877. The reductions were protested
against most vigorously by the commissioners of th©
departments interested.
The Park Department asked for 1876 something
over $900,000, and received $495,000. The Health
Department asked for $350,000, and received $220,-
000. The Park Commissioners chose to expend an
appropriation for one portion of their department
in the first ten months of the year, and then came
to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and
asked for a transfer of one or more unexpended ap
propriations. When the Board declined to do this
the Park Commissioners promptly declared that
they would be compelled to dismiss a very con
siderable number of the employees. They were
told that they should have 'exercised more care in
the expenditure of their appropriations in the early
part of the year.
COMPARISON BETWEEN THE STATE AND CITY*
There is a very decided comparison between the
administration of affairs in the State and city. In
the former, since the statement of Gov. Hoffman,
there has been a steady diminution of the debt. In
the city there has been a steady increase. We have
not yet got to the point where we are self-support
ing. The fact is, it costs about twice as much to
run our city' government as It does that of the
State. To be exact, the aggregate receipts by the
State Treasurer for the year ending September 30th,
1876, were $18,623,986 29. Of this amount more
than $5,000,000 was paid toward the cancellation of
the State debt.
The debt of the State, which was over $30,000,000
five years ago, and which at the close of the war was
$50,000,000, has been reduced until in September
last it was, exclusive of the Sinking Fund, $9,124,-
4)09,08.
The total City debt is $141,977,713. There is in
the Sinking Fund $28,147,102, leaving a net debt of
$113,830,611, or something over twelve times the
amount of the State debt.
The receipts of the State and City, both raised by
taxation, of course, show a wide difference. The
amount to be raised by taxation for the State for
the year 1877 is $8,529,174. The amount to be raised
by taxation for the city, not counting the revenues
from the General Fund, is $28,484,269 48. These
figures tell their own story. They are a commentary
on the extravagance, fraud, and corruption which
disgraced this city for ten .years, or during the
Tweed regime.
THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR 1876 AND 1877.
In order that a comparison may be made with last
year, the appropriations for the years 1876 and 1877

When the estimates were sent in irom the various
departments they called for a total of $32,089,970 62.
The Aidermen added nearly another million. The
Board of Estimate and Apportionment cut down
the original estimates to the total amount of $1,105,.
701 14, or something over $2,009,000 more than the
Aiderman recommended.
WHERE THE KNIFE WAS APPLIED.
It has been a favorite trick of the heads of de
partments to make their estimates high enough to
allow of a very decided reduction, and still leave
eufficient to carry the department through the year
an good shape. This did not work in the case of
some of the departments as well as it has done here,
tofore. There were reductions Jin all of the depart
ments, but in some the estimates were cut down
nearly one-half. There were others, however, which
were left comparatively untouched. The Judiciary,
especially, exact over $1,200,000 from the tax-payers
when one-half of the amount would be more than
sufficient. The greatest reduction was made in the
case of the Department of Public Parks. Its pro
visional estimate called for $730,400. The amount
allowed for 1876 was $495,000. The Board of Esti
mate and Apportionment allowed the department
$384,000, the total amount of the reductions being
$346,400. The principal items bf reduction were as
follows: For maintenance of the Central Park and
other parks, $105,000; for lighting parks and places,
$25,000; for bridges over Harlem River, $31,300; for
sufrveying, etc., Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth
Wards, $39,000; for care and repair of roads, $39,000.
The Health Department’s estimate was $232,372,
and this was reduced to $204,872, a reauction of
$27,500, the' principal of which was for salaries,
$23,190, The efficiency of the department was in
nowise impaired by this reduction.
The reduction of the Police Department estimate
was from $4,087,549 to $4,223,275, or a total reduc
tion of $466,274. This was effected principally on
the following items: 2 captains less, $4,000; 2 ser
geants less, $3,600; 100 patrolmen less, $120,000 ; 3
doormen less, $2,700; clerks, $17,520; street clean
ing, $283,259; new steamboat, $30,000; supplies, $17,-
670. The estimate for 1877 was over $600,000 more
than for 1876, and after making the above reduction
it still exceeds the appropriation of last year by
$138,000.
The reductions in the Fire Department are very
slight, as follows: For salaries in repair shop, $7,-
716; for apparatus, $15,000, or a total of $22,716.
These reductions do not affect the number or pay of
/ the active working force of the department.
The reductions made in the estimates for the De
partment of Education are $231,752, on the follow
ing items-: For erecting and leasing new buildings,
repairing, etc,, $100,000; for building for truant
children, $100,000; for supplies, $31,000; for sala
ries, $752. The Board deemed it unwise to make
any further reductions, as the great bulk of the ex -
penditure in this department is for salaries. They
sdvise, however, that all expenditures shall be re
stricted as much as possible. The Judiciary asked
for a total of $1,235,345. This includes the civil
and police district courts. The total amount was
cut down to $1,203,145. The salaries of the judges
are fixed by law, and only such reductions can be
made ag jre covered by Up Qj
various acts relating to the courts. The Board say
that there is no doubt the expense of conducting
the courts is excessive and should be reduced.
The new Sheriff asked for $50,000 for the fees of
his office, and just half that amount was allowed.
The coroners asked for the modest;sumof $39,000,
for four officials, and the deputy coroners wished
for an additional appropriation for holding post
mortems. The coroners were given the generous
appropriation of $75,000, the same as the previous
year, and $2,500 for post mortem examinations.
The various amounts asked for by charitable so
cieties aggregated $1,083,039.21The amount allowed
was $967,694.
THE EXTRAVAGANT MANNER IN WHICH THE
COURTS ARE RUN.
Few persons know in detail the amount the city is
called on to pay for running the civil and crimi"
nal courts. For the salaries of nine Civil District
Court Justices—one at SB,OOO, and nine at $6,000
each—the sum of $62,000 is appropriated; and for
salaries of clerks, stenographers, interpreters, at
tendants and janitors, $132,200, making a total of
$194,200.
For the police courts an amount nearly as great is
asked for. There are eleven Police Justices at
SB,OOO each, SBB,OOO, and $70,100 for the salaries of
clerks, attendants, stenographers, interpreters and
janitors, making a total of $158,100.
For the Supremo Court there are five Justices at
$11,500 each (in addition to the sum of $6,000 paid
by the State), making $57,500; clerks, criers, steno
graphers, and librarian, $34,500, twenty-four attend
ants at $1,200 each, $23,800; compensation of judges
from other districts, $5,000, making a grand total of
$125,800.
In the Superior Court there are six Justices, at
$15,000 each—s9o,ooo j clerks, assistants, and steno
graphers, $46,000; fourteen attendants at $1,200
each, $16,800, making a total of $152,800.
In the Court of Common Pleas there are six Justices
at $15,000 each, $90,000; clerks, assistants and sten
ographers, $46,000; fourteen attendants at $1,200
each, $16,800, making a total of $152,800, or pre
cisely the same as the Superior Court.
In the Marine Court there are six Justices at
SIO,OOO each, $60,000; stenographers and interpre
ters, $7,500; clerk, deputy clerk, and assistants,
$33,500; thirteen attendants at $1,200 each, $15,600,
making a total of $116,600.
In the Courts of General Sessions and Oyer and
Terminer there are the City Judge, the Recorder,
and the Judge of the Court of General Sessions,
with salaries of $12,000 each, $36,000; a clerk at
$7,000; a deputy clerk at $5,000; additional clerks,
stenographers, etc., $18,000; thirty-six attendants
at $1,200 each, $43,200; making a total of $130,000.
In tho Court of Special Sessions, presided over by
the Police Justices, the clerks, stenographers, ect.,
receive salaries aggregating $23,000.
In the District Attorney’s office the District Attor
ney receives $12,000; three assistants at $7,500 each,
and the other salaries, bring the grand total up to
$72,000.
In the Surrogate’s office the Surrogate receives
$12,000; his chief clerk, stenographers, assistants,
etc., $33,000, making a total of $45,000.
The total salaries in the County Clerk’s office ag
gregate $40,725.
These salaaies are all pronounced too high by
those who are competent to judge. Previous to
1858 no judge received a higher salary than $3,500,
and the most of them no higher than $3,000, The
Police Justices salaries were $2,500.
“ TRAPEZE TEACHING.”
A LETTER FROM THE PROFESSOR.
Mr. Editor: There appeared in your paper of the
16th inst., an article on Trapeze-Teaching, in which
your Reporter makes several grievous errors, and as
I am the person referred to as the professor, I beg
room to make some corrections.
In the first place being the only and original
teacher of the Trapeze for the stage, I can have no
rival. My first appearance before the public as
teacher of the above, dates back over six years ago
at No. 270 Bowery. I continued to receive pupils
until last season when I left the city under engage
ment with P. T. Barnum’s Show. Upon my return I
rc-engaged rooms in the locality your Reporter so
fancifully described.
His description of the house was grossly exaggera
ted. I [admit its antiquity, but not the dirt and
grease. The house was formerly an aristocratic
dwelling, but is now let for offices. The extreme
difficulty of obtaining rooms capacious enough for
my business is the cause of my retaining my present
quarters. Of course I could hire a Gymnasium or
Hall but my terms are too low to permit that.
The Reporter is also again in error when he states
that my wife assisted me in giving lessons, as she is
not connected with the business. The lady whom
he mistook for her must have been one of my ad
vanced pupils who occasionally assists me. Another
mistake is made when he states that the ladies
paused In their exercises to gaze at him as he en
tered, as I allow but one lady to practice at one time
and each lesson is given privately.
The article was well gotten up to entertain, but if
the Reporter had made himself known to me, I
would have [given him a few truthful points which
would have made it instructive as well a* entertain
ing.
Hoping you will grant me space to make these few
corrections, I remain most respectfully yours,
William Ripley, Professor of Trapeze.
No. 8 Bond street, near Broadway, N. Y. City.
ALLEGEDABDUCTION.
A THIRTEEN-YEAR OLD BRIDE.
Herman Keller, a well-known resident of Union
Hill, New Jersey, went before Justice Gerlich, of
West Hoboken, on Friday evening, and complained
that hia daughter Bertha, aged thirteen years, had
been enticed away from home and induced to marry
a igan named Glenn, a resident of Tuckerton, N. J.
Mr. Keller states that about four weeks ago Mrs.
Hund, a neighbor, requested him to permit his
daughter Bertha to accompany her on a visit to
Tuckerton, but he indignantly denied the privilege,
and the woman departed. Subsequently, however,
the girl disappeared from her home, and it was as
certained that she had gone with Mrs. Hund. Kel
ler was enraged, but consoled himself with the be
lief that his daughter would return in a few days,
and that then he would punish her for her conduct.
Mrs. Hund returned home from Tuckerton some
three days since, and in answer to the father’s in
quiries she stated that his daughter had been mar
ried to a man named Glenn.
Justice Gerlich issued a warrant for the arrest of
Mrs. Hund on a charge of abduction, and Mr. Keller
will also institute proceedings for the purpose of
having the marriage declared null and void. Glenn
and his thirteen-year old bride are living at Tucker
ton, they having been legally married by Justice of
the Peace Sleehman.
Tho girl represented herself to be seventeen years
of age, and said that her parents had discarded her.
Mrs. Hund denies that she enticed the girl away,
and says that Bertha married Glenn because she
loved him.
Bit His Aunt’s Nose Off. —Superin

NEW YORK DISPATCH, JANUARY 7, 1877.
OBITUARY.
Beatii of Walter E. Coyle.
At a few minutes after five o’clock on the morn
ing of January Ist, 1877, Walter E. Coyle died at the
residence of his uncle, Dr. P. F. Maley, in Cincin
nati. Mr. Coyle was a brilliant young journalist,
capable of doing excellent work in all branches of a
newspaper. For the past three years he has been
an almost constant contributor to the Dispatch,
writing on various topics, reporting with ability
everything intrusted to him, and enlivening our
"Odds and Ends” column with some of its quaint
est and most unique paragraphs. Had he lived to
even middle age and pursued the calling of journal
ist, he would have achieved a name of note as a hu
morist. He had faults and failings, but they were
not of a mean nor sordid nature, and he was never
known to do an unkind thing. About two months
ago he took cold, which settled upon his lungs.
Finding that he did not recover his health, he re
turned to his native city (Cincinnati) some three
weeks ago, and though every attention was given
him by a doting mother, loving sisters, and other
relatives, and those whom his geniality of disposi
tion had made his friends, nothing could save his
life, and he expired as the bells were ringing the
advent of the glad New Year.
From an appreciative article in the Cincinnati
Enquirer— evidently from the pen of one who had
known and loved him well—we learn that Walter E.
Coyle was born in Cincinnati on the 9th of April,
1852. His father, a prominent builder of the city,
died when Walter ivas but a mere child. He attend
ed publie school from his sixth to his eleventh year,
when he passed to the intermediate school, though
ho never entered it as scholar. After passing a
couple of years as the office boy of his uncle, Dr.
Maley, he became a messenger boy in the Western
Union Telegraph office. His natural aptitude soon
enabled him to acquire a knowledge of telegraphy
sufficient to fit him to take charge of a
minor office. From this position he was trans
ferred to the local staff of the Gazette as base-ball
reporter, and he soon became one of the most effi
cient reporters of the national game in the country.
When the “Red Stockings” made their famous con
quering tour of the country he accompanied them
us the correspondent of the Gazette, and his excel
lent reports were universally commended. In 1872
he joined the staff of the Evening Star, of Cincinnati,
and after six months’ arduous labor on that paper,
accepted the position of advance agent for Lent’s
Circus. When Lent’s Circus failed he returned to
Cincinnati, where he worked on the Star and En
quirer. We next find him in this city, doing good
work for several papers, among others the Dispatch.
He again returned to Cincinnati, and at once found
employment on the Covington News (now dead) and
the Cincinnati Enquirer. In last February he re
turned to this city, and has constantly since that
time up to the hour when disease rendered him in
capable of further work, employed his pen for the
amusement and entertainment of tho readers of the
New York Dispatch and Brooklyn Argus. The En
quirer writer of the obituary of our deceased
friend concludes with this appreciative and just
summing up of his abilities as a journalist:
“Walter Coyle was in many respects a phenom
nal personage. Without the advantages of a thor
ough education, his articles were remarkable for the
purity of their language and the graphicness of their
style. He was a born newspaper man, 'having a
nose for news and recognizing it at sight. He
seemed, also, to have an intuitive knowledge of just
what the public wished to know, and spared no
pains to gratify Its taste. But it was as a humorous
paragraphist that he chiefly excelled, though be
could be pathetic enough at will to draw tears from
eyes unused to tho melting mood. To use his own
apt phraseology, his ‘funny’ bone was unusually
developed,’ and he took more pride in his ‘ squibs’
than in any other of his writinas. For tho past
three years he was the main contributor to the
‘ Odds and Ends’ column of the New York Dispatch,
and his effusions obtained prompt recognition from
Bayard of the Argus, Lewis the Detroit Free Press
man, and other well-known popular wits. Poor
Walter! many a sympathetic heart will mourn as
these lines are read, and many a tear will be shed
for him when it is remembered that
“ ‘Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these, it might have been.’ ”

ItYER’S HAIR VIGORT
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR
To its Natural Vitality ,and
Color.
Advancing years, sick
ness, care, disappoint
ment, and hereditary
P re ffi s P. os hion, all turn
the hair gray, and either
' \ ot them incline it to shed
jStSsSwS* prematurely.
AYER’S HAIR VIGOR,
by long and extensive use,
bas proven that it stops
tbe falling of the hair im
; often renews
th- growth; and always
restores its color,
faded or gray. It
the nutritive
organs to healthy activi-
I l ''' i 'i preserves both the
’ ’ hair and its beauty. Thus
brashy, weak, or sickly hair becomes glossy, pliable and
strengthened; lost hair regrows with lively expression;
falling hair is checked and established; thin hair thickens;
and faded or gray hairs resume their original color. Its 1
•operation is sure and harmless. It cures dandruff, heals
all humors, and keeps the scalp cool, clean and soft—un
der which conditions, diseases of the scalp are impossible.
As a dressing for ladies’ hair, the VIGOR is praised lor
its grateful and agreeable perfume, and valued for the soft
lustre and richness of tone it imparts.

THE HAWK-EYE,
BURLINGTON, IOWA.
A Metropolitan 8-Page Daily..
HAWK-EYE PUBLISHING CO., PUBLISHERS.
(From September Number of Rowell's Centennial
per Exhibition.)
This bright Western paper, under the management o ;
its young chief, Mr. Frank Hatton, hardly yet thirty yearg/
of a°-e, has, within two years of his proprietorship, earned)
a national reputation for its terse and vigorous handling!
of all live topics, and for its sparkling and original humor.)
It is quoted and circulated from ocean to ocean, fronov
Maine to Texas and the mountains, being universally ac
knowledged one of the best of its class. The Hawk-Eye!
occupies the ground floor (30x130 feet) and five floors (30x8(1
feet), undoubtedly one of the finest newspaper building
in the West. On the great transcontinental line, well
known as the “ Burlington Route,” in the very center of
the richest portion of the country, in a town of 30,000 peoj
pie, why should it not grow and prosper ? The first papeX
in lowa to require and use for its circulation a uotible-cyl-x
indcr press, it leads in all things and follows in nothing.;
Republican and Radical in politics, it fearlessly and inde-4
oendently critises Republicans as it sees their errors. )
H While its daily has a circulation unequaled by any otheif
daily, in a territory at least 350 miles in diameter, italsa
has a large and growing weekly circulation, unparalleledl
in its immediate locality, and a very and admiring
support in city and country round. Beside a regular city*
■md mail circulation of 2,500 copies daily, it has a metro—
; 1 eirStion by newsdealers and train-dealers.;
: Khinr olten and frequently 1,500 copies per day.!
rulers declare that within 100 miles east and 150 mile»
' wcaofßurUnSontbey sell more Hawk-Eyes than any
other except Chicago papers, and ten to twenty times as
manv as of all other lowa papers. Jealous of its suprem
•tov as a newspaper, welcome to people of all parties for
its editorials, literature and wit, and the fullness of its
nrpss and market reports, it does not wish to make itself %
riip-iD emulating advertiser; but to those who choose ta
nav its rates it dffersone of the best mediums in the coun
trv for reaching a large and excellent portion of the peo
nle The local patronage of The Hawk-Eye is the best!
we have ever seen, and shows the faith the people of th®
