THE Cry CHAMBERLAIN-We understand
that the Mayor will make the appointment Of
City Chamberlain, in place of Robert Kelly,
deceased, in few days, and that as condi-
ton of the appointment he will require that
the deposit bank shall allow interest upon
the balance in bank to the credit Of the city.
He has twice recommended the Common
Council to pass an ordinance fixing rate Of
interest for the amount on deposit with the
bank in which the City Chamberlain allows the
account to be placed, and which at times is
very large, amounting to almost two millions
of dollars, but like many other important mea-
sures he has proposed, did not receive the con-
sidera:ion OF that body. The equity, practical
bility and importance of this course is so appa-
rent that it lie matter of surprise that the
city fathers did not long ago adopt it.
No interest has ever been paid into the
city treasury from this source, and the Mayor,
it appears, is determined to assume the respon-
sibility, and make positive requirement from
the person appointed as City Chamberlain,
connected with the greater one of the absolute
security OF the deposits, that just rate Of in
terest should be received by the city. The
city is obliged to pay interest when using the
fun DIS of Individuals, and it should receive in
terest from those who have the use Of its
money.
The State derives large revenue from in
terest on it's canal receipts, and there can be
no good reason why the city should not be
placed on similar footing.

SHALL UNITED STATES DEBT BE Redeemed?
"A petition has been sent to Senator Fish by
Mr.. McKissom, of this city, praying that the
outstanding debt of the United States con-
tracted during the Revolutionary war, be re-
deemed in public land. It seems that, not
withstanding the liberal provisions Of Hamil-
toms act, quite large portion of the continen-
tai money still remains unredeemed. At the
time of Hamilton's great report, in 1890, the
total debt Of the United States, including in
terest, amounted to $54, l24, 464; and the State
debts, which were assumed, to about twenty
five millions more, making in all in round num-
bers eighty millions. No such sum was ever
paid by the United States Treasury. Much Of
the continental money was destroyed and lost
Some was boarded and lost sight Of. Some
was locked up in trusts and pledged. A por-
ton was no doubt withheld by patriotic citi
zene, unwilling to add to the embarrassment of
the government Some was retained as relics
Altogether, from these various sources, 9 con.
siderable amount escaped the benef cial provi-
sions OF the bill, and now remains unpaid.
Mr.. McKissom is ready to take land tor two
thousand dollars he has The Secretary of the
Treasury is no doubt prepared to show cause
why this proposal should or should not be com
piled with. Whether it is or no. there can be
no doubt these old evidences of Indebtedness
ought to be redeemed, in money or otherwise,
as soon as possible. It does not comport with
the honor of the United States that their IN
paid promises to pay should be hawksd abou.
at auctions of curiosities.
