premoritory symptom Of impaired integrity.
We lay 1t down as broad principle TO wb.ch
no exception can be found that NO bank officer
can speculate In stocks and be honest.
fpresidents a: directors Of moneyed inssitu-
tions would adopt these rules for their guidance
and rely less on writ en- bonds, there would be
fewer defalcations. 1t should be the business
Of the managers OF every bank to find out where
and how their EN- ,loyes live: whether they
spend more tnsn they receive in the shape Of
salary ; and also whether they deal in fancy
stocks. This iavestigat on should be constantly
repeated. 1t could be done without difficulty
or offence by the exercise Of q little tact and
if thorough, would be complete check on those
officers who might have . tendency towards
fraud. The ahrewdest man could not rob large
amounts, or speculate to any considerable ex-
tent without showing 1t in his manner, mode Of
living, and expenditure. l. is greatly to be
feared that serious obstacle to the adoption
Of this plan woull reside in the unsolnd habits
of the directors themselves. Engrossed with
their own speculat ons, and plunged themselves
into an extravaganza which their means do not
justify, too many Of them would neither take
the trouble to keep close watch over their
subordinates, nor assume to correct faults en-
couraged by their own example. If society in
tends to cure the evil, the axe must be laid at
the root Of the tree.

kind. Mr. Fernando Wood has been elected TO
al the ONCE of Mayor Of this city under the
terms of the charter that charter directs that
he shall make one Of the city executive; the
question is whether he will do SO or not. On
the one side he has the example Of his pre-
decessors to invite him to Incidence on the
other, the words Of the charter, and the neces-
sity of improving his own standing with his
fellow citizens to stir him up to exertion. II
he be O wise man, he cannot hesitate to adopt
the latter course.
To suppose that system under which the
Mayor should share the public business of each
department with the public officer specially
appointed thereto, would DO likely to give
rise 10 more corruption than now exists, is
entirely gratuitous. The rule of every day life
is that two men, appointed to keep watch over
each other and keep each other in check, will
steal less than either of the two, If left to
himself This is precisely the principle on
which the Mayors participation in the execu-
tive business rests. 1t was intended that ne
should exercise co-extensve authority with
each Of the heads of departments; so that, In
Lne event VI uuy estSMPs % SoAi uPsAon ~ -A~s
administration on the part of the latter, ne
should be enabled to check it. This principle
has most unfortunately been lost sight Of and
thrown aside by our recent Mayors; but It is
not the less clearly enunciated in the charter.
Nor would any difficulty arise in the practi-
cal working of the system The plan of di-
viding authority between two men, who exer-
cise check over each other, is as old as the
best governments Of antiquity: and except in
some very rare emergencies, where the one
man power is obviously preferable to any other
it has always been found to work well. In our
city government its adoption could not fail to
be attended with advantage. 1t would increase
the responsibility of the rulers to the people;
and would impose check on the very men
whose freedom from restraint has proved 30
prejadicial in times past. In fact, we cannot
think of an argument against the plan. The
case rests with Mr.. Wood.
