HAWKINS AGAIN.-Mr. Dexter A. Hawkins,
who was paid by Comptroller Green, out Of
the city treasury, one hundred dollars day
fee and from nine to twelve dollars day eek
penses'' for services at Albany last legs-
lative session, appears now as especial coun-
sell for the city in suits brought against the
Corporation and in certain street opening
proceedings. Yesterday the right of MIR.
Hawkins to appear was called in ques-
ton in Chambers, before Judge Barrett. The
Corporation Counsel, who was present, denied
having assigned Mr. Hawkins to the Finance
Department, and Mr.. Hawkins stated that the
Comptroller employed him as counsel under q
law of 1862 in relation to street openings.
The charter of 1873, however, explicitly pro-
hibits any public officer or department from en-
ploying special counsel at the city's expense,
except by assignment of the Corporation Coun-
sell This law of 1878 repeals the law of 1862,
and Mr.. Green violates the charter in employ
ing special counsel not assigned to him by the
Corporation Counsel, just as much as he did
when he paid Mr. Hawkins his extravagant
fee and expenses for ''services OF Albany

A REPBEHENsIBLE ACT.-The investigation
ordered into the affairs Of the Cranston
Savings Bank by the Governor Of Rhode
Island discloses the fact that out Of So, 1886, 900
total assets 81, $3.50, 900 was loaned on personal
security, almost all on notes Of the Sprague
houses. The total liabilities are 81, 1886, 900,
Of which 50, l43, 900 is due to depositors. We
do not know what the laws of Rhode Island
in relation to savings banks may be, but it
should be made everywhere criminal offence
on the part Of such institutions to loan the
money entrusted to them on mere personal
paper, no matter how good the security may
seem to be. No doubt the Cranston bank
believed the Spraguo notes to be as safe as
national bonds but the high standing of the
borrowing firms only makes this case moro
striking illustration of the danger and repre-
hensibleness of the practice. The money Of
the poorer classes should be most sacredly
guarded, and this exhibit will serve to popu-
larize the Postmaster General proposition to
establish Post Office Savings banks.
