The City Chamberlain contest will be eectually closed
to-day The amendments to be put through here, by
which Manicrre's bill be passed, dehnitively
agreed upon and there will be immediate solution of
this affair The day goes IN favor of Devn. The pro-
posed amendments will retain him in Office and transfer
the city treasure retained in the Park Bank forth

fight may be made in the Assembly but not worth con-

The course to be adopted will the spcedest and
far the most expedent mode Of treating the of
the Chamberlainship AS the appointing power

accountant the treasure keeper and the auditing officer

will not involve violation of the the forms of
the city charter for personal partisan objects
The check upon the Finance Department Of an ndepen-
dent treasury will be maintained.
The removal OF Plat the late Chamberlain Is generally
spoken Of hasty and invdious proceeding but when
II realized that lie had impaired his official standing by
his course before the Supervisors, that his bank
closed and exploded, and also that his brother Is a
director and large in the Broadway Bank the
thing takes different complexion. In fact Platt never
had considerable interest in the premises aud

the courts almost the great gridron session

since TO regain his vanished treasures, and It s well
known that the by which Plat was removed

restoration of Stout Even the communication which

Warren, as well as stout himself, 1t seems has been
positive that they had the Of securing this impor.

Tie next important moving interest in this matter is
the Greeley Tribune interest represented
by Benz. Il Camp, member OF Assembly from West
chester. The name of Plat, the late occupant Of the
Office OF chamberlain, was IN reality igurative way In
which the word Camp expressed 10 the heather Of

From this point Of view may be clearly observed the
active and inevitable influence OF Weed which Is en-

to be little say except that he has had the good fortune
