original law gives the Chamberlain the direct
authority over lis subordinates and the pres
ent charter specially deprives the Comptroller
of the power to remove or suspend the Cham
berlain. although the latter is the head of a
bureau in the Finance Department. 1t is OBJ
vious that the design of the law is to prevent
the Comptroller. who gives bonds in twenty
five thousand dollars only, from obtaining any
direct power over the Office of the Chamber
lain, who gives bonds to tho amount Of over
two millions. If the Comptroller could ap-
point the Deputy Chamberlain the clerk OF
the Comptroller would become Chamberlain in
the event of the death or incapacity OF his
chief, and the plain intent of the law would
be defeated We regard it as eminently
proper that the two Offices should be separate
and independent of each other. 1t would
be deemed very unsound principle
to unite the offices of State Comp
troller and State Treasurer, or to give
the former the power over all the
subordinates of the latter. Indeed, Mr..
Green's monomania for intermeddling with
other public officers and for the concentration
of arbitrary power in his own hands needs
explanation Last year he sought to make
himself municipal dictator by means OF
blind clause cunningly inserted in an appa-
rently essential law. Failing in this, he has
been assuming powers foreign to his Office
ever since, and has occupied his time more
with lawsuits and newspaper controversies
than with the large duties Of his position.
IL Ia "a
ments to the amount of millions have been
culpably suffered to remain uncollected
public improvements have been brought to
q standstill and the interest on deposits has
been lost while the time Of the whole Finance
Department has been occupied in scrutinizing
the monthly bills of Patrick O'Reilly and
Jane Smith, and the genius of its chief
has been wasted on petty slurs at the old Park
Commission, on snappish letters to the heads
of other departments, and on lawsuits that
benefit none but the legal gentleman who has
been fortunate enough to secure the personal
favor of the Comptroller. 1t is time these
follies should cease. So far as the interest on
the city moneys is concerned, we understand
Chamberlain Palmer to be ready to pay the
same into the treasury if the Comptroller
will Withdraw his absurd opposition and
accept it as it has been hitherto received. If
Mr. Green offers further technical and spite
full opposition to this settlement he will be
held doubly responsible for the loss of the
money, and will convince even his most par
tial friends that he is unfit for the Office he at
present holds.

The LOUISIANA TROUBLES appear to have
been slightly exaggerated, at least with refer
ence to the contemplated programme Of the
fusionists tomorrow. The determination of
the latter to install the Legislature claimed to
have been elected and inaugurate their Gov
ernor does not necessarily imply bloodshed,
riot and the thousand evils pictured by SEN
sational paragraphs in the local press In
an interview with Governor Warmoth and
Colonel McEnery, the Governor elect, our cor
respondent, whose despatch is published else
where, learned that resistance to the United
States troops was neither contemplated nor
apprehended; that probably the colored militia,
if too meddlesome, might meet with some
little resistance, but that the movement had
for its aim the fulflment of certain
legal form necessary to insure an impair
tial investigation by Congress of the whole
cause of the difficulties. Acting Governor
Pinchback yesterday issued a proclamation
threatening interference in case the fusion As
sembly should meet, and some preliminary
action was taken in the Legislature but
neither Pinchback, Kellogg nor any other au-
thority would risk q physical conflict under
such Insignificant circumstances

Our VITAL STATISTICS. official report
for the week is for the city-deaths, 5S3, exclu-
sive of 46 stillbirths; living births, 500 mar
riages, 179. This report, in reference to the
unusual excess of deaths over the births, and
touching the comparatively small number of
marriages, is doubtless due to our late fearful
Wintry weather and to the disturbing causes of
our Christmas and New Year holidays. Next
week we hope to record diminution in our
weekly death report.

The Sandwich Isla nds-NO Joint Pro-
From the tone of the remarks of the British
press on tho Sandwich Islands, and the state of
things there in consequence of the monarchy
being vacant by the death of King Kameha-
meha, and from the transfer of British war
vessels to these islands, there seems to be q
movement for something like joint protecto-
rate Of England and the United States over
that interesting portion of the Pacific world.
England could not expect either to take pos
session of the islands or to exercise a control
ling influence over their destiny OF this partic-
ular crisis in their history, as the foreign
population is largely American and as the
people of the United States have the
greatest interest in their future; but, true
to her national policy, she wants to take
q part when she cannot get the whole. British
interests in these islands, either now or pros
pective, are inconsiderable compared with
government should have, most to say in
establishing o government. The London
Times admits 'that the Americans will
eventually people the Sandwich Islands, which
will become valuable colony between San
Francisco and China and Australia" but it
questions ''the right or propriety of any nation
taking possession of them by flibustering
annexation" A good deal is implied in this
term .filibustering annexation" 1t means, we
presume, that England wants to have a hand
in disposing of the destiny of the Sandwich
Islands Now, we object to any joint protec-
torate, to any entangling alliances with Eng
land or other Powers with regard to this or
any other foreign territory. Whatever action
may be deemed prudent or necessary
for our government to take should be
taken Independently. Complications and
difficulties would be almost certain to
grow out Of joint protectorate or other
joint action. The proper course to pursue is
for our government, in connection with the
large body of American residents, other
foreign residents and the leading natives OF
the islands to secure o fair expressions, of
opinion as to the nature and form of govern
ment desired. We are inclined to believe this
would lead to the establishment of republic
can form of government, and would conse-
quently put an end to the anomaly of large
white civilized population being ruled
through the farce of a native colored and
semi-civilized monarch. Monarchy there has
been merely an absurd and counterfeit imita-
ton of the article in Europe. We do not
want annexation, but we do want to see gov.
eminent in the Sandwich Islands that would
not be farcical, that would insure progress
and development in civilization, production
and commerce, and that would make the
islands, with a similar government to our own,
valuable and friendly neighbor to the United
| States

The Ex-Emperor Napoleon III.
Chtselhurst.


Chtselhurst.
From the cable dispatches which we print
this morning it will be learned that the
ex-Emperor Napoleon has been Frustrated
at Chiselhurst by q somewhat danger
GUS disease. The disease is not necessarily
fatal, but, as a cure can only be effected by
series of painful surgical operations, grave
apprehensions are entertained as to whether
the strength of the patient will enable him to
pass successfully through the trying ordeal.
One operation has been performed, and it is
gratifying to know that it was SO far sue
cess, and that the condition of the imperial
patient is encouraging, his physicians having
no apprehensions of o serious result The
ex-Emperor is now in his sixty fifth year, and
although it is well known that he has sound
and vigorous constitution it is impossible to
refuse to admit that his advanced age and his
accumulated misfortunes of recent years
diminish his chances Of ultimate recovery to
perfect health. s4s ;.!-''-s e.
In this the hour of his sore trial the e1--
Emperor will not be without numerous warm
and sympathizing friends 1t is known that
he has not given up the hope Of returning in
triumph to France at an early day. and there
are thousands of Trenchmen whose fortunes
are linked with his and who share the EN-
perors hope His death at this crisis would
most Enthusiastically be felt to be a serious
blow to the imperial cause. The ex-Emperor
would no doubt continue to be the centre of
attraction to the devotees of the Empire, and
the fond hopes which are entertained of his
youthful son and heir would sustain and cheer
them. In spite of the many misfortunes
which the house of Bonaparte has brought
upon the French people that house has firm
hold on the national heart for the French
will never forget that the Bonapartes, both
under the first and under the second Empire,
gave them greatness and glory. The star Of
Austerlitz is only under cloud; it is not
yet extinguished Immediately, however, the
death of the Emperor would be great loss to
all those who look forward to the early res
toration of the Empire. He is the one man
whose influence President Theirs breads; and
it is the Empire, not the monarchy, winch is
the bugbear of the republicans. His death
could hardly fail to be gain to the republican
cause for. although it might stimulate the
monarchists to increased activity, their cause
must he regarded as hopeless so long as their
camp is divided by the conflicting claims of
the Count of Paris and the Count Of Cham
bord.
Leaving political questions altogether aside,
we Join with those who sympathize with the
fallen Emperor in his present fresh affection,
and we shall rejoice to learn that the means
now being used to restore and re-establish his
health have been attended with complete
success.

the banks as interest by the Chamberlain
ut the close of each month and paid over as q
separate fund, which, in fact, it was, to the
credit of the general fund? Oh, but, says Mr..
Green, the Comptrollers warrant is the only
authority for drawing money, and SO the in
terest shall be credited by the banks to the
several funds to which it belongs, and shall
be drawn only by the Comptroller m the
proper form. This would be all very we'll if
the money belonged to the city-if the law
had not, in fact, given up all claim on the
part of the city to interest and designated the
consideration the banks should pay for the
deposits. If the banks had not been required
to pay the expenses of the Chamberlain's
Office the city would have been compelled to
do so, and hence this was the city's recon-
pense for the use of its money. We say moth
ing in justification of this law. 1t may have
been very proper that the city should have
received interest on its deposits and
very improper that the Chamberlain
should ever have been allowed to put the in
terest into his own pocket Nevertheless the
law was and is as we have stated and MIR.
Green, when he stopped Mr.. Palmer from pay
ing interest as it had been paid by Chamber
lains Sweeny and Bradley, knew that it would
be paid in no other way; that he never could
enforce its collection by legal proceedings;
that it was never credited and could never be
credited in the manner he chose to dictate
and that while he gratifed a petty personal
spite he sacrificed nearly a quarter of a mil
lion dollars, which, but for him, would have
been paid into the treasury by Chamberlain
Palmer during the last twelve months

Mr.. Bradley's Gard.

We ask attention to the manly and
patriotic card of Mr.. D. o. Bradley,
VINO to save our party and defeat its
enemies, promptly withdIaws from
the race for the Treasurership. He is
already one of the most highly es-
teemed citizens of the county, but
this action will increase his claims
10 the confidence of the public. No
man ever found David o. Bradley in
league with the enemy, and no man
ever reposed confidence in him and
had it violated. Now let few more
of our candidates do the unselfSh and
patriotic thing and this clandestine
betrayal will find its end along with
those other movements which de-
mand promotion for their leader, but
refuse to labor for the cause. We
have to draw party lines and break
this reinforcement of the radical par
ty in the county.
