CITY CHdMBERLAIK.

We call the attention of our readers to the
communication addressed by the Citizens AS
sociation to Chamberlain Sweeny. 1t there
appears that the City Chamberlain receives an
annual salary of $4,000 for performing merely
nominal duties in the receipt and disbursement
of the public money. These duties consist Ill
but depositng the public funds in the Broad
way Bank. The warrants of the Controller
upon the Chamberlain are mere checks upon
the City and County funds in the Broadway
Bank. Mr.. Sweeny does not have much If any
of his time occupied by his duties as Chamber
lain, for he does not even sign the checks or
warrants. They are drawn upon him at the
Broadway Bank, and the Bank pays them as
it does other checks. 1t has been well known
that it has been the custom of the Bank
in which the City and County funds are de-
posted to allow the Chamberlain a percentage
upon the average deposits for the use OF the
public funds in the Bank. These percentages
have been estimated to vary between 100000
and 100000 per year. We are glad that this
matter is being agitated and we trust that the
Citizens Association will not let the matter
drop until every cent received by the Cham
berlain for profit on the City and County
funds is transferred to the public treasury
We think that $23,OOO per annum as salary
for doing nothing should satisfy the npacity
of any man, however great but this does not
seem to be the case.
There can he no doubt of the position, that
all the profit on the public funds should 90 to
the public aud not to the ofncial having their
temporary control.
We hone that speedy steps will be taken to
settle this matter, and to give the City and
County the benefit of all percentages paid by
the Bank. We consider $4,000 per annum
large amount of money and il is worth being
sued for.
We would also call public attention to the
surreptitious manner in which Chamberlain
Sweeny had $4,000 added TO his salary. BY
virtue of his position as City Chamberlain, he
is County Treasurer also During the last
hours of the session of the Legislature of 1861,
he got u provision introduced into the County
Tax Levy law giving the County Treasurer a
salary equal To that of the City Chamberlain.
I'm the hurry of business attendant upon the
close of the session, this provision was allowed
TO stand. the majority of the Senate not
knowing that the County Treasurer and City
Chamberlain were one and the same individual.
Mr.. Sweeny will succeed in getting this addi-
tional $4,000 but we hope and expect that 1t
will prove the means of correcting the great
abuses that have prevailed in the office of City
ChaubeIan

Certain journals having seen fit to assert that
the Editor of this journal had demonstrated
with the Fire Commissioners for their resolve
whereby Firemen are forbidden to serve on
any party committee or act as delegates in any
nominating conventions we are impelled to
pronounce the assertion utterly gTOundlesS. In
our view, the Commissioners have done exactly
right Firemen are citizens, and their Right of
Suffrage is sacred but the only machines
that it is proper for them to run are those
which they run exclusively. We counsel them
to yield a cheerful and hearty obedience
to the Commissioners salutary inhibition.

The National IntelIigencer is more than any

Not many months ago woman of Brooklyn
was killed by an enormous dose of a deadly
DOison through the criminal carelessness and
Incidence of the attendant in a drug store.
The lesson was startling one to all who hold
in their hands--through the holding of SINH
lar positions-the safety of the community.
For few weeks we presume that this sad case
was in the minds of such persons whenever
they prepared prescriptions, and they used un-
usual prudence lest another death should he
laid to their charge. But time weakened the
force of the warning, and on Saturday last
there was another victim to inexcusabe stu
pidty or carelessness A physician prescribed
morphine as a sleeping draught for his patient;
a person in charge of drug store put
two grains of the poison into one powder;
the woman took it, slept, and never
woke again. We are told that the person who
put up the powder feels keenly his situation"
There is abundant cause but his keen regret
will not restore the dead mother TO her nine
children, nor shift from his shoulders the awful
load of having brought this woman to her sud
den death. The public may well be alarmed
at these successive warnings of the death that
not only turks in the fanciful jars upon the
apothecary's Shelves but is likely TO be trans
ferred therefrom into their own households at
any hour Ii is useless to say that " accidents
"wil happen" These clerks are employed
expressly TO see that accidents shall not hap
pen-that lives shall be saved, not lost. In
neither of the cases we have cited was there
the poor excuse of ignorance of the nature OF
the dose prepared. 1t was worse than igno-
rance, for it was crime, and two women lie
dead in consequence of that crime of negll-
gence, where constant vigilance is the one
essential requisite.

A North River ferry-boat yesterday crashed
against the pier adjoining the ferry-slip with
such force as to crush the heavy timbers and
create a wild panic among the women and
children on board. The introduction of a
schOoner's bowsprit into one of the cabins at
the same time did not tend to allay the alarm.
The pilot had attempted to the vessels
bow, and the above was the result. These llt-
tie eccentricities of our ferry employees will
serve to amuse the travelling public until an
other Ferry Investigating Committee comes
down from the next Legislature. and goes back
with pleasant remembrances of the hospitality
of the ferry managers.

OF all the propositions to reduce the public
expenditures and lessen taxation, none is so
practical as to devote to the Pacific Railway
laborers the money now spent upon soldiers on
the Plains. 1t costs S2,OOO,O00 a year to sup
port a regiment of cavalry there. Every fifty
miles OF the route completed dispenses with the
need of regiment of troops. This saving is
equal to the interest on over sj3,OOO,OOO OF Gov
ernment bonds. If the extension OF this road
to the Pacific saved to the Treasury the cost
of only three regiments of cavalry, the economy
would be SG,OOOOOO per annum, the interest on
SfOOOOO,OOO of public debt. There is no re-
trenchment so practical and so Immediately
available, as to speedily complete this Railroad,
and save the cost of the soldiers kept on the
Plains. which exist as plains and Indian hunt
ng-grounds simply for the want of the Road.
The reduction of the army and tine diminution
of the military expenses are attanabe only
through the extension and completion of the
Pacific Railways. The sooner, therefore, the
work is done the better.

Gen. Albert Rust, fine Arkansas gentle
man of the Rebel school, advises the white
people of that State to register and vote down
a Convention fair number of Arkansas
journals accord with him. eff majority of
{" the people of Arkansas vote against Con-
"vention under the law, can reconstruction be
carried out r. asks one of the most sanguine
of them ITO vote against Convention is
"the only way to defeat Radical recon
"struction.' The good part of this advice ought
not to be neglected. Let Arkansas have full
registry, so that all her loyalsts can vote for
the Convention, and all her Rebels against it..
We do not greatly fear the result.

REGISTER YOUR NAME.

The registration of voters begins in this city
to-day, and it should be the ambition OF every
man entitled to the franchise to have bis name
the first one on the book. Remember 1t IS not
enough that you were registered and voted last
year, or for any number of years at the same
poll u0u must appear in person and give In
your name The old Doll-bOoks are good for
nothing, except as probable evidence that you
are entitled to a vote. It will not do to send
in cards or written names by post or by other
parties the Registers will not notice
them. In fact registration is exactly
like voting in this respect-it requires the ac-
tual presence of the individual. Remember
also, that in districts where the number of voters
is less than 400, the Registers cannot sit beyond
one day, that is, until the revision next
month. Remember also, that you cannot vote
unless you are registered, even though you may
have voted in one Ward for so years. There is
no more chance for sharp games in swearing IN
votes at the close of the day of election. The
proofs of the voters right must be ascertained
by the Registers, and not by Inspectors OF
Election.
The registry, then, is equivalent to real
election, except putting in the tickets. Ihe
voting strength of the people is determined by
the books to be opened to-day; the strength
of parties by counting the ballots on election
night We again urge early attention to regis
tration, reminding our readers of the old say
ing: Never put off until tomorrow what can
