The Journal jusiifes our "faith in ts accuracy in respect to the amount sf the unpaid city orders and we adopt it's defence of its own ofspring with the same confidence that we took to our arms the bant- ling itself.

 The report is unniellie ble to us as it is to the Journal, maigre the explanation and insnuations of the correspondent of the Advertiser. The Journal says:-

 "We found in the Finance report, the item of "City orders unpaid per account investigated, 43,- 263 3s." On the same sheet found m the Comp troller's report-"Ofce of ths Clerk ofthe Corpora tion, balance of orders unpaid R26, 1895 4l." Both these reports bear the same date Knowing that the Clerks books, though perfect during his term, take no note of orders previously issued, we inclined naturally to the opinion that the largest item embrac- ed all the outstanding orders and the smaller, only the unpaid orders during the clerks time and stated it. It came to our knowledge afterwords, that the smaller sum intended to represent the entire unpaid balance and accordingly, before complain, made (and say truth without understanding the cause of this discrepancy, made the statement in our paper of Wedsesday last. The day after, viz: on Thursday, out this long delayed reproof, by some overzealous friend of the city fnanciers, in which bad motives, ignorance, and the like, are uncivy insinuated against and our contemporary We have looked at this matter again, since this out break, and though we do not feel disposed to take back the correction we made, we are bound to. say that we are yet not whit more enlightened to the real causes of this apparent discrepancy; and may add, that if one familiar in degree with these accounts, from having held the office of Comptroller himself finds this difficulty, it may be reasonably in. ferred that persons less acquainted with them, may ask for painer eIucidation than has yet appeared, without justifying the imputation of faCtious or partizan motives.

 The above has the merit of being a complete an. to the complaint of misrepresentation of the hibit of the City Treasurer. and justification to those who, like ourselves, don't Understand ac- counts" for not experiencing what is really not comprehensihe.
