It was stated in last Monday’s HERALD that the administration which rules Jersey City had become 80 corrupt that the citizens were organizing for the purpose of obtaining the protection of the Courts. Ata large public meeting Inst Saturday night Mr. Leon Abbett made some disclosures which started his hearers and -afforded the taxpayers of te city serious matter for reflection. ‘Not only,” ne said, “are we being saddicd with an enormous debt, but we have no means of knowing to what extent that debt is being daily augmented, for there are no vouchers whatever.” Jt appears that several prominent citizens applied to the City Comptroiler for information, and asked for the production ef the vouchers, if any; but the Comp- troller, whether unwilling or unable, produced none. ‘his engendered a very uneasy feeling among the taxpayers, several of whom waited upon Mr. Abbett and reqacsted him to instutate a SEARCH FOR THR voucHERS, and if he could not succeed in this to prepare a statement of the expenditures made hy the present administration as far ag the same could be gicaned from autltentic sources, A HERALD reporter waited on Mr, Abbett yeater- day and learned the result of his labors thus far. He was absorbed in several folios of figures, a study of which, incomplete and irregular as they were, being obtained from several sources wholly independent of cach other, was a work requiring more than ordinary mental power. “You see,” said Mr. Abbett, “we have no longer a tax levy published, so that we are LEFT TO GROPE IN DARENESS. The publication of the tax levy according to the time honored custom would be a check upon extra- vagance, and would invite public criticism on ex- cessive expenditures, So the new commission, under the Bumsted charter, resolved to transact their business quietly without being subjected to any annoyauce from grambling taxpayers,”” RerorreR—But do you mean that no financial statement has been submitted to the people since theae commissions came into power? Mr. AbpeTT—I do, Aresolution was passed by the Board of Finance on the 3d of last June that a com. plete financial statement he prepared by the Comp- troller for publicatiov, No such statement has ever since appeared, becanse these men were AFRAID TO LET THE LIGHT IN upon their transactions. I cannot obtain access to {he Comptroller’s books. Ji this method of govern- ing the city be not an exercise of irresponsibie ower by a commission which was not created by e people and is not responsible to the people I don’t know what ts, RgroRTEE—But have you obtaincd any figeres on which you can rely in tils business ¥ Mr. ABbETT—Oii, yes. With all their vigilance and caution I managed to secure some documents which will assist ine very materially in the work before me. In the firat place jet me tell you they have BXTINGUISHED THE SINKING FUND, so that there ts no longer any money tothe credit of that account. Under our old system of tive-vear bonds all the bonds we tssued would be redeemed by the assessments paid in within the five yeara,so that we could start abew with clear hands. One section of the new charter authorizes the Commussioncrs to issue twenty-year bonds for the purpose of meci- ing the expense of any improvement “theretofore contracted for or entered upon.” But they do not confine themselves to tne raising of money for the purpose specified in the charter. ‘they raise it tor other purposes on the long bond account, thus ostensibly Pepehit taxation for tae present year, but in reality saddling the city with A LOAD OF DEBT. The difference between the old five year bonds and the twenty-year bonds now issued will amount at the end of twenty years to $3,348,000 according to the expenditures of the Commissioners. ‘This is a perpetual mortgage of $170 on every po of pro- perty worth $5,000, This 13 not very cheering news to the poor man who 1s endeavoring to accumulate his savings and have his own little homestead, REPORTER—W hat about the sataries + Mr. ABBETT—I have prepared a lst of all the sala- ries now paid with the exception of those of a few subordinates, The salaries will amount in the ag- gregate to $: Every man employed under the city government must pay ten per cent of his salary towards the jund for liquidating tne expenses ayes in passing the cbarter and sustaining e party. - REroRrER—Does your estimate cover all the oft- ciais drawing pay under the oe, government? Mr. Abpetr—Ccriainiy not. There is the survey- ors and engineers’ account, which wilt amount to $170,000 per annum, against $90,000 under the old governiaent, And so extravagant was the latter amount deemed by the people tat they drove trom power the party that permitted such extravagance, What wili the people say now? Within flye montns the sum of $61,000 has been patd to the surveyors. The Engineermg Department, which is a new fea- ture in our chavier, has cost us $24,009 already, RevorrbR—How about the printing vill this year? Mr. Anperr—I find that the sum of $14,000 has been paid for printing and stationery within five months, or at the race of $43,000 per annum. The people raised a great outcry against tne oid city [Siete because the printing and stationery ili AMOUNLed to $32,000. Repoxrer—There is & great anxiety on the part of the taxpavers to ascertain the amount spent at the water works, Have you obiayied any figures on this point? Mr. AspriT—Ny figures are incomplete, I pass over the new reseivolr for the present. On the 2a of May last a resolution was passed anthorizing the eXxpenuitare of &sum Of money from $16,000 to $0,000 for the erection of a casing around the stand- pipe. On the 27h of June following @ con- tract was awarded for $64,783 for the erection of a tower, and in July the Board of Public Works advertised for proposals tor a standpipe. You see the great discrepancy between these figures at once. The people need no further defint- tion of extravagance. There is one point to which would direct your special attention, and thats thai the estimates made by surveyors jor money due to contractors NEVER MADE UNDER OATH, Among the misceliancous items 1 tind a bi for 4540 loads Of sand to put on the streets at sla load, Suppose these loads were carted io one they would stretel a distance of eighteen m carts being twenty fect apart.

But then, you see, it 1s ‘a patent,;Titcomh I veliove they call it, and our Commissioners are FOND OF PATENTS.

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IN HOBOKEN. The Democratic Executive Committee of Hud- son county have ordered the primary elections, and the wirepullers are hard at work. The choice of an Assemblyman in Hoboken seems to rest with the democracy, unless they put forwara a dishonest man allied to some of the giant corporations that plunder the people. The Hoboken Land Improvement Company has already procured the jage of an act cutting off @ large portion of Hoboken belonging to them, 80 a8 to pre- vent the imposition of taxes on their pri saddle ail expense on the poorer citizens ol ‘They also have @ largenumber of the poorer class holding shanties at the mercy of the corporation, and, of course, the conreed individuals canaot afford to vote against the pet candidate of the Im- provement Company, It is rumored now that one oi the candidates for Assembly has promised to do more dirty work for the company in case they should help hin to Trenton. In case he be noi nated the shrewd repuplicans will probably suc ceed in defeaung him. Alderman ©urran offers himself as an tndependent democratic candidate, andconld certainly carry the convention, unless corruption should be at Werk, It is imposing to see the other candidates willing to spend so much money and to make so many sacrifices for the good ol the city of Hoboken. THE MUTUAL MASHERS, A Splendtd Contest on the Union Grounds Yesterday Afternoon—The Muturls Deieat the Olymples by a Scere of 12 to 2 The Mutnals, ox this city, and the Ulympics, of Washington, D. ©., played on the Union Grounds, Williamsburg, yesterday afternoon the fourth game of thew series, the result of which was the defeat of the Washingtonians after one of the finest con- tested ‘games of the season and the winning of the series for the Mutuals. The “mutes” had already defeated the Ulympics twice out of three games, and the winning of this game by them of course gives them the series. Not- withstanding the day was onc of rare beauty for thi season of the year, there were not more than five or six hundred spectators present, a circum- stance which is to be deplored, as it 1s doubtful if the public will again this season have an opportu- nity presented them of seeing so fine a contest, Both clubs were prompdy on band, and accord- ingly at twenty minutes past three o'clock play was called, the Mutuals going first to the bat. By a neat double play on the part of Fred Waterman aud Everett Mills and a well taken fly by Hall they were- faced about without having scored arun, alter which the visitors went in &ud put two to their account, one of which they earned, while the other was obtained on loose fy by Charley stills behind the bat, Alter this, how- ever, they were unable to get a singic one of their number around the circuit of the bases, but were whitewashed no teas than e.ght times in succession, Indeed | #0 sharply did the “Mutes” play, that in the wird, fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth innings the Washingtons were aisposed of in tue order of their stnking, not a man of tuem being aoie to reach first base ahead of the bail, In ine second ining the New Yorkers scored an earned ran, Bygler being THE LUCKY INDIVIDUAL, while in the third inning Higham, Hatfield, Patter- son and Start each crossed the home plate betore tne toird hand Was retired. it was im this mning that Leonard, greatly to the surprise of every one pres- ent, dropped a fy ball in left fleid, a thing that he has not een known todo belore tor many a day. The fourth imming resulted in the ‘Mutes’ finding @ “goose egg,” bat im the next they oliset this misfortune by adding two more rung vo their aiready fine score. For these last two they have to thank Mr, Waterman and Mr. Thomas, each of whom committed sertous errors. ‘Ihe sixth inning saw another run added to tue Mutes’ core when they should have been treated to another “bunder,’’ but the seventh was a regular one, two, three affair, Eggier, Mills and Ferguson bein; the victims, while Waterman, Brainard, Sweazy Milla did the pretty work, In the eighth inning two more runs were. laid to tne account of tae green-legged boys, while a like result was effected in the ninth and last inning, As has been previously stated, the Olympics got nothing but blanks after the first inning, so Unis left the score at the close 12 to 2 in favor of New York, Ot the play of the entire Mutual nine too mucn nobly and proved veyond the possibility of a doubt that they can piay a fine game. Charley Mills 19 deserving Of especial mention for his splendid play behind the bat, whien, after the first in.ing, was erieetion.

Uavelling of the Lincoln Statue in Philadel pikin—The Oration. ‘The statue which nas been erected in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, in honor of the memory of the late President Lincoin, was anvelied with appro priate ceremonies yesterday in the presence of a large assemblage of people, numbering, it 1a said, one hundred thousand, The military paraded in strong force, and the colored regiments es- pecially made a tne appearance. At the ap- pointed time Professor Charles J. Stice, Presi- dent of the Lincoln Monument Association, appeared on the speaker’s stand and made a brief address, explaining that the memorial was erected from the volurtary contributions of the people, and that the object of the association being now completed the work wasturned over tothe Park Commissioners, ‘Tne monument was then unvetled, and at the same instant @ flag was hoisted to the summit of the staff above, and as 1t foated out a shower of small flags concealed in its folds fell-among the populace amid their nuzzas and a salvo of artillery from an adjacent hil. THE ORATION ‘was pronounced by Colonel William MceMichzel, who spoke as follows:— In your presence, fellow citizens, who loved him, On tis chosen spot, in tie chosen city where the nation was born in whose cause he died, and in the sight of heavea, whitner his spirit has ascended, we unvel this statue of the greatest man of our time. We have lived in an era irutttul in historic events Sud marked by the achievements Of master minds. In Europe pregnant peace has given sue to dect- sive war, resolution vecn developed into action, and preparation consummated in victorious bacttie; States lave arisen and dynasties been overthrown; while in our own country tree goverment has ben subjected to the severest test and aecomplisned its Jargest triumpi, We, who have Known the dirést miseries of war, are happy this day in the enjoy- ment of @ peace made glorious in the preser- vation of our honor and the perpetuity of our government, The prominent actors in these momentous dramas have been large-minded and far-seeing meno, whose influence bas been potent in directing the course of public action. Ten years have passed, the most eventful in the nation’s history, since some of us who are now present gathered about old Independence Hai one early winter morning—February 22, 1s6i—to wel- cume the then President elect of tue United States, His manly voice spoke to us resolute words of atriotism. We saw intelligence and goodness in his face, and strength in mis stalwart frame; we looked into his honest eye and we believed in him; and when, graspi the halyarda with his own hauds, he raised the natio1 colors from our midst until they floated proudiy in the sun- Nght from the old belfry top, we made the welkin ring with our cheers, glad aud proud and trustful of the man to whom the honor and integrity Of those colors haa been confided.

Mystericus Abduction of Two Little Chlidren. A mysterious and painful case of kuinapping was reported at Police Headquarters, Brooklyn, last | evening, which is given puplicity to with the hope | that the description of the little ones and ther strange abduction may lead to thelr recovery and the arrest of the heartless scoundrel who has brought sorrow to two heretofore happy house- bolas. Between two and three o’clock yesterday afternoon as Etta Rubinson, aged six years, aud Geneva rradley, five years old, were returning irom @ private school waich they attend in Clinton street, near Thira place, South Brouklyn, they were accosted by a well-dressed young ian, wearing a black mustache, dark, curly hair, and rather low- sized, who asked them to come with him and take a carriage ride. He then gave them a piece of candy, and taking the tittle ones by tne hand, moved on down Clinton street toward Hamilton avenue. The conversation between the man and the children was overheard by a lady, Who happened to be looking | ont the window of her residence, corner of Clinton street and Fourth place, at the ume, and whose attention was attracted by the singularity of the mvitation to take a carriage ride, there being no vehicle within sight, Subsequently, when we almost frantic parents set out npon a& search for ine young ones m the neiguboriood, they learned tie story from the lady — alluded to, and immediately communicated — the to the police, who in turn telegrsphed the fact to all the station houses, but up to a very late hour last night no tidings of the lost ones bad been gleaned. Etla Robinson, who was neatly dressed, resided jn Fourth piace, ‘between Court’ aud Chnion streets, with her parents. Geneva Fradicy, who wore & white hat, trimmed with brown; « dark red dross.

Particulars of the Great Hurricane. Great Destruction of Property— Volcanic Eruption. HONOLULU, August 26, 1871, It 18 my province to chronicle one of the most de- structive hurricanes that ever passed over this group that is within the memory of any one now living upon these islands. Mawall was the first faland to feel its force. From the valley of the Waiplo letters nave been received stating tnat the gale commenced to be felt at about seven o’clock on the morning of the 9th inst., the greatest force of wind being experienced at eight o'clock, the gale or hurricane lasting an hour and a half, The direction of the wind was down the valley. After the force of the gale was spent it was found that twenty-eight nouses had been blown down and destroyed and as many more partiaily destroyed. Hardly a tree or bua w lett standing in the valiey. From being one of the most charming little nooks on the island it has become a dreary-looking waste, The inhabit- ants were paralyzed for a time and business of ail kinda hae been brought to a standstill, ‘The gale was felt at Kohala, on the same island, at about the same time, perhaps a litue later, and here the wind ran riot. To quote the words of @ reswieut, the dis- | trict looks as though the besom of destruction had swept ite surface. The mill building and sugar houses of Dr. Wight’s plantation were biowa down aud broken into kindiing wood, At the Kohala plantation the steam chimney was blown down; the principal buildings remained standing, but were flooded with the torrents of rain which fell. Yhe sugar cane upon both plantations was stripped of leaves or blown down and much of it is ruined, Trees and bushes were swept from the earth and the very grass beat into the dime A Mungo tree, with a trunk fifreen inches in diameter, was snapped off just above the ground and huried along the ground for some distance. Groves of kakut trees that have stood the gales of scores of years were proatrated or torn to pieces. In this district 122 houses were blown down or bacly damaged, Crossing the channel the hurricane next struck ine Island of Maui. At Hana the schooner Kinau ‘was blown ashore, this being the only damage yet reported from that point. On East Maul the destruc. tion was very great.. From Ulnpalakua Captain James Makee, proprietor of Makee’s ‘Plantation, writes:— We have met with a great misfortune, but not, I hope, an srremediable one, Ata quarter past ten this morning I went into the office to write letters. bad just begun to write when the wind com- menced to blow furiously. In tive minutes alter 16 was blowing the most feariul hurricane | ever ex- erienced, The dvor of the ofice was burst in and it took ali the strepgth of Mr. 8. and myself to close Mt and nail it up. Just as we had secured the door we saw the flagstai fail, the hurricane being 89 terrific that trees, houses and A hia | about were tiying before the force of the wind. 1 was, of course, anxious to get to the dwelling house, but could sée no way of accomplishing my desire. At this time a servant who had managed *o get to the ottice window Informed me that —— was sick. 1 got out of the lee window of the office and made a desperate attempt to get to the house, ‘The air was ter ime tall of branches of trees, barrels and shin- les. It seemed as though the turics were let loose. flnally got into the garden, where the trees were falling in every direction, when @ gust of wind took me aud tirew me some ten fvet, fortunately andin; me on a grass plat, by which good fortune | receive: no injury, One of the natives came with great dil. culty to my rescne, wien, with great exertion, we succeeded in getting into the house. I sound had swooued from iright. She had been at the cot- tage, and had, in passing from there to the house, | narrowly escaped being crushed by the falling trees, Arriving at the house, the terrible danger through which she had passed overcame her, The gale continued in ail its fary until two o'clock, when it subsided, It was feariul to see the havoc during its duration. ‘Trees Were prostrate in every direction; the mill and engine house, the boiling house, the bowling alley, sugar house, cook house, two of the Chinese and one native house were down. One store house at the beach and alt the nalive houses there had been biown into the sea, * * * Fortunately no lives were lost, and all escaped without injury except Mr, Lake, whose arm was slighdy bruised. * * % bir, and Mrs, Whipple had @ hard time, Although their house | stood through the storm every part of it wus Mooded. with water. * * © We have nota room which 18 ot more or less wet. It rained in torrerts, the water finding its way everywhere aid through everything. I have not yet seen the cane fields, but fear all the Jarge cane js destroyed of nearly 80. 1 shall go to work to-morrow to repair the sugar house and dry om what sugar we have, a4 it is more or less mixed with water. ‘This plantation had suffered from a protracted drought of over ten montus, during which mach of the cane had suffered severely. Later aavices state that most of the mature sugar cane had been thrown down, and will of course sprout and become largely damaged thereby. The younger cane will be greatly benefited by the drenching the land has re- One ficid of young cane received too much water, being washed out of the ground and carried away. Strange to say, the reservoirs upon ths Plantation received but little water, so that the necessary supply for the use Of the mill will soon Tun short unless more rain fais. At the plantation anding and along the coast the houses were levelled or carried into the sea. One house was carried away with @ woman and child In it, but the natives saved them from @ watery grave. Later advices state that the plantation buildings at Hana were also badly damaged. At Haika about one hundred acres of sugar cane were blown down, and, to all appearances . destroyed; bat the buildmgs were not much damaged. he boys’ seminary was moved from its foundation. The datry buildings connectea With this institution were blown down. At Hobron's piantation the trash houses were flattened out, and other buildings more or less damaged. ‘The sugar cane in this district 18 also damaged. West Maui did not suffer 0 extensively. At Cora- well’s plantation the oaly damage done was to tie proprietor’s residence, the reof of which iiad been Tawsed for the purpose of adding another story. ‘The house was flooded and the contents, furniture, books and pictures ruined. At Walluku and Wathee the piantations did not suffer much damage. One bridge over the Watluku River was carried away and the other somewhat damaged. From Lauaina letters have been received, stating as follows:— * * * Ig commenced lightly on Tuesday night, with a gentie breeze, up to daylight on Wednesday, when the rain began to pour faster and heavier, while the wind increased in proportion, from the west- | ward, veering round to all poluts, becoming @ per- fect hurricane, thrashing and crashing among the | trees aud shrubbe:y, while the streams and iish ponds ran over ana the land was flooded. Such a | Storm has seldom been Known tn the expertence of | the oldest residents of Lahaina. Itcontinued | the entire day into the nignt, the wind bio squalls, uprooiing and prostrating uumerows fruit, cocoanut and ornamental trees. Cousiderable | damage was done to buildings, many being la part | or wholly unroofed, and one being entireiy blown io | the ground, near the prison, white pretiy mach every nouse on the low grounds was flooded. b I Bnd Thope you are all safe in Honolulu. We, nere of Lauaiua, have bad one ef thuse terrific, tropteal storms, hurricanes, cyciones, or, if there js any harder word in the dictionary, it well deserves it, which we read of in sensation paragraphs, but which few men actually witness more than two or Ubree times in their lives, . it commenced yesterda | morning before daybreak with fine, steady rain, ac- companied by ® rising wind from the north aud noriheast, increasing jn violence until about noon, when the play was at its heigh!, and cocoanuts, bread fruit, brauches of trees and whole trees aight be seen pirouetung and gallopading down one street and up another, while the horrible roar of the gale, now shrieking like five thousand steam whistles let off at once, now booming ike magnificent thun- | der, kept up fit music to the mad performance. | Add to this an Invetet ratu that knew no ceasing | from early morn to late at night, and you may | have an idea of a tropical storm in Lahama. Owing , tothe previous dry spell of weather, of long dura- | ttoa, the swollen streams from the mountain did | not come down till about eleven A. M., and the water in the canal in front of my house was graau- overflowing. At that time down came the accumu- lated waters from the mountain sides tu all direc. tions, red, like streams oi blood, roaring like wid bnils, ploughing up channels of their own, taundet- ing houses and making confnsion worse confounded. The damage to fruit trees, vineyards and cane flelds must be very considerable, but as yet (early Thurs- day morning) mo accurate accounts have heen re- ceived, ‘The Wind gradually wore round irom north to southeast, subsided a fiver. M. ° Upon this Island, Oabu, the damage has been trifing. The new hotel had a part of {ts third story walls blown down. The wails are built of heavy | blocks of concrete, yet these blocks were tapped om | as though they were of wood, On account of the raiw workmen on the butiding had been discharged at noon or lives would have beon lost.
