A DREAM.
How Clinton Worked the Legislature,

Auditor Clinton, by the grace Of Kellogg,
more infamous that that of his notorious
predecessor Wicklitfe. That erstwhile dis
tinguished Radical luminary in all his ras-
cality and thieving, kept or tried to
keep within the bounds of the very
comprehensive and loose statutes which
were framed by the Warmoth Legis-
lature, but Clinton, with Cornwellan dar-
ing, boldly overrides all law and pushes his
schemes forward by sheer impudence, feel
ing assured, no doubt, that he will be sus-
tanned by Kellogg, over whom he seems to
possess some mysterious but powerful intlu-
ence.
We have related how, in defiance Of the
PORTED instructions of the Attorney Gener-
al, he proceeded to issue warrants under an
enjoined section of the appropriation bill
and which, Illuminating over his effrontry
last evening before pleasant fire, we drop

The Legislature was in session, aid the
war between certain legislators and Clinton
was at its hight Harris was moving against
the Auditor with his dusky battalions in
good order, and the time was fraught with
much danger for Clinton.
That willy functiOnary, however, knew
how to meet the assault, and he met it
promptly, effectually putting to flight the
column and capturing the gen
eral of the opposing forces. His plan puts
to shame the coming scheme Of the chap
who conceived the Trojan horse. Sending

telligence was disseminated that it was posi-
BILE Graham warrants which were selling for
a song on the street, might be cashed by the
Auditor at par.
The bait took, the General was impfcu-
Nous; he bought seven thousand dollars
worth of Graham warrants and took them
to the Auditor who with many protesta-
tions of friendship and regard handed over
the cash for them.
And thus ended the war and the dream

what foolish stuff are dreams made Of

The Investigation.

representative of the Bulletin called on
Mayor Wilt this morning, at ll:l5, and
was ushered into the parlor Here he found
his hOLor and Administrator FitZenreiter in
close consultation over the present monetary
difficulty. There was an air of unusual
sOlemnity about the place, and it could be
readily seen that matters Of more than or
binary importance were being considered
In answer to our inquiries, Mayor Wilt
stated that it was difficult for him to say
exactly where the examination would end
He proposed that it should be thorough
and no one who was guilty should be spared
but he did not propose to judge hastily, and
therefore would not now express any final
opinion. At this point, Mr.. Dudenhufer
entered, and approaching, desired to say
that his connection with the matter was
purely through friendship tor some of the
city employees. That he had purchased their
transfers only to assist them on his personal
account. and not as a connection with the
bank. There is evidently much feeling over
the matter.

tee, we were informed that this body had
prepared report on the first charges; but

THE NEW CRIMINAL JUDGE.

1t is pretty we'll understood that A. Alto
cha will be appointed Judge of the new
Criminal Court. We might have expected
this from Mr.. Kellogg. There are men of
brains and standing in the Radical party,
whom he might have appointed, and whose
appointment would have been endorsed by
the right thinking men in the community.
Mr.. Atochas position at the bar and past
history is not such as to entitle him to so
dignified and responsible a position.

Arc iron shutters prevention of loss by
fire 7 This question has been for many years
considered, and there is to-day doubt in the
minds of many as to whether they are or are
not means of saving property from loss by
fire. There are several arguments against
them, and they have the Endorsement of
many practical and experienced men. The
greatest objection urged against their use is
that when they are upon the building in
which the fire originates they prevent the
discovery of it until after it has made suffi-
sient Roadway to force its way through the
roof or walls. Another is, that they cannot
be opened from the outside, which causes
considerable delay in reaching the source OF
fire. In case of fire in an opposite build
ing, it is claimed that they warp, and in
many instances, conduct heat to the window
frames; and then their cost is used against
them.
The above are all the objections that are
acknowledged; and now, on the other side Of
the question, there are two advantages conced-
ed that, we think, after a careful consideration
of the subject, they are the means of pre-
ventiOn of loss of propertr by fire, and their
placement on all high structures in the
thickly settled portions of the city should
abe compulsory. The claim that fire can
not be discovered as rea lily where they are
used is very strong against their adoption
but if they will confne the loss to the build
ing in which it originates-even though its
contents are totally destrOyed-they are de-
cidedly public benefit 1t will cause the
loss to fall upon those only who should suf-
fer, i.e., the occupant of the building by
whose carelessness, design or negligence the
fire originated.
If by having iron shutters upon building
they do contine the fire within it, we have
secured that very essential and necessary
means Of preventing disastrous eonhagra-
ton" that is 80 much desired. The objec-
ton that they cannot be opened from the
outside, can be easily remedied; and the
claim that they warp in case of excessive
heat is not an argument against the use OF
iron shutters, but simply their mode of con-
struction. The usual way of fastening can
be easily changed, SO as to fasten into
sockets upon the upper and lower portions
OF tho window frame. and by this means to
great degree prevent warning. And the
assertion that they conduct heat to the
frame, and ret fire to it, is merely an asser-
ZION, for the frame would take fire much
sooner when not 90 protected. The cost OF
iron shutt,rs should not be taken into con-
alteration.
