VENIILATIoN OF CLOSETs.-ToO little
attention is paid in the construction OF
closets to their proper ventilation. 1t is

A Wandering Epistle.

A letter was lately received by a cheyenne
Of Massachusetts,, which had made Q remark
able journey. It was written by an American
in Paris, and forwarded by bankers to St
Helena, addressed to the captain of an Ameri-
can vessel Arriving at st. Helena after the
departure Of the vessel for Boston, it was
sent on there by the consignee at st: Helena.
There it laid the usual time, was advertised,
and being uncalled for, was sent to the dead
letter Office. From there it was returned to
the bankers in Paris, they having affixed
their Office stamp to the letter when first
mailed. The bankers having the Boston ad-
dress of the writer, erased the original sub
scription and started it back to the writer at
Boston. Meanwhile, the writer had removed
to the suburbs, and the carrier in delivering
the letter as addressed, learned the where
abouts of the writer and forwarded the now
much defaced missive to its destination,
where it finally arrived eight months after its
subscribed date, having in the meantime ira
yersed a distance of some seventeen thou
sand miles, and received the impression Of
some TWENTY-FIVE different post Office stamps.
Perhaps the most interesting point in the
matter is that the letter was written by q
young lady to her wandering sweetheart, and
when it was brought to her, she was sitting
at the fireside enjoying with him the comforts
Of married life.

THE IMPEACHMENT OF CLINTON.

The action of the House yesterday in
voting to impeach theAuditor is most refresh
ing evidence of determination to make the
cry of Reform something more than word,
a catchpenny. M...
It proves that there is an earnest and honest
desire on the part of the members to see a
stop put to the plundering Of the State Treas
ury, and is the first step in movement
which, we trust, will be sweeping and reno
waiting in its character.
In the matter of Clinton, it is the duty OF
the Attorney General, acting upon the report
of the legislative committee, to at once avail
the State of the legal remedies against de-
faulting officers and to institute criminal pros
ecution such as the law authorizes, and by
judicial sequestration seize upon all available
assets before the party charged can escape
with the spoils of the people, as did the cum
ming and INSCRIPTIONS Wickliffe.
Let Kellogg not attempt to shield this Off
Ger who stands charged with high crimes and
misdemeanors, but let him lend his influence
to have him fairly and impartialiy tried.
If he is innocent, let him stand his trial like
man; if he is guilty, let him be visited with
the severest penalty Of the law, and the State
recover such amounts as may be saved from
the plundering.

TIE BOARD OF TRADE.

In every large city Of the North ana Yves.
eli matters pertaining to the conduct ana
regulation Of mercantile business properly
deyolves by law upon those VINO are mos'
deen,v interested-the merchants themselves.
rba maintenance and regulation of standards
and the appointment Of inspectors we'gners
,d ,,,roars To enforce them, is left to the mer-
ol,ar,s through the medium OF their mercan-
,Ie organizations, and in every instance has
o,or,ea to the entire satisfaction OF all inter-
@ested.
The Board o. Trade at Chicago is perhaps
the most striking illustration we can offer, and
4 has worked under this system for the past
sixteen years by virtue Of powers granted to
4 by the Illinois Legislature in 1859. So sue
cesstul and satisfactory have its operations
been conducted that it is to-day the principal
feature Of Chicago. Similar organizations in
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincin-
natl and 81. Louis are successfully conducted
nnder the same system and with the same
legal powers. In Ohio, SO generally recog-
nzei is the necessity for depriving politicians
OF pOsilioAS pNACAy "AoOUAAA6 AASAS"AASAA0 AAAS0A
ests, that the Legislature, ten years ago, en-
acted q general law which is still in force, to
the effect that any inspector, weigher, or
gauger appointed by any Board of Trade in
the state, shall be recognized as the legally
appointed official for the duties pertaining to
his position in the city and county where he
Is appointed. It is to such wise and prac-
teal legislation that the cities of
the North and West are indebted for their
admirably organized systems OF business,
and until we can obtain similar legislation in
behalf Of the city Of New Orleans we can
hardly expect to make any progress.
The bill now before the Legislature to in
corporate the Board Of Trade of New Orleans
has been modified to meet the views of some
who feared it could not be passed in its
original shape, and, as amended, We think
should receive the hearty support of every
member who desires to advance the material
interests Of the city and State.
If we are to have any legislation for the
benefit of mercantile and general interests OF
a non-poli.ical character, this bill should be
passed at once, and we earnestly hope it will
meet with prompt and favorable considera-
finn
