TUX CANDIDATES foE CRY OFFICES But a
few days yet remain for the voters of this city to
decide whether the affairs Of i.s government shall
be entrusted to the hands OF efficient and trust
worthy officers, or TO old hack politicians, igno-
rant perterhouse loaiers and professional rogues.
We have spread before our readers the names Of
all the candidates seeking Office at the en-
suing charter election, aud have distinguished
between those who pay taxes directly to
the support Of the government and those who do
not Tomorrow we shall publish the occupa-
tions Of all these candidates, in order that our
readers may know who the individuals are who
are claiming their votes, and may thus have an
opportunity Of exercising that discretion which
the circumstances Of the election imperatively
demand. II should not be lost sight Of that all
these Offices, however insignificant, some of them
may appear, are highly important as making O
part Of the machinery OF our municipal govern
ment. The Comptroller, as the name Of bis
Office implies, controls the finance depart
ment, ard directly disburses the public mo-
ney by warrants issued to the Chamberlain,
and be can prevent or conDiye NJ frauds. Just as

The school officers have command over n mil.
lion and quarter Of dollars aud the entire cd,-

Aldermen ard Counclmen vote away all the
money to be disbursed for every purpose Of the

and regulating Of streets, and have much to say

General Is subject, and could not, therefore, be
regarded as an unfavorablc symptom Of his ac-

some time to remove. His departure, therefore,
although retarded, will not probably be delayed
for more than another week The people Of
Venezuela are looking forward SO anxiously to
