MADRAS IRRIGATION AND CANAL.

The report of the directors of this company states that in
the early part of August last the whole of the works, canal,
and embankments on the first section, eighteen miles in
length, below Soonkasala, having been previously and
carefully examined by the consulting engineer of the
Government of Madras, water was gradually and safely
admitted into the canal from the Toombuddra, so that by
the 17th of that month it had reached to the further end of
the aqueduct constructed over the Hindry river, the water-
way of this structure being then completed to the ex-
tent of two-thirds of its width. The embankments

water into the canal was, in the locality, °III
dered of high importance, and worthy of public celebr,
time in a signal manner; and, accordingly, the collector
the district of Kurnool (Mr Minchin) caused' a netificatieed
to be published in the local gazette that on the day 1118,
(17th of August last) a public holiday would be gralat! eue
all Government officers and employes, and he invited
whole of the surrounding community to attend at the en
mony of opening a temporary irrigation sluice construct
for supplying the town and suburbs of Kurnool. The rho
spouses to this invitation were exceedingly gratifying,for.l -
ceremony was attended by nearly the entire poPuls.ticilloi
European and native, Mr. Minchin, as the representatic°
Givernment, presiding with much zeal and ability. A telr
n.
pot ary rate of four rupees per acre for the water to be sop'
plied for. the first crop of this year has been agreed,t°o
tween the Government of Madras and the compallY, °ll't-
the contract me 2e with the Secretary of State in Coll'l°.
csi,ressly provided that the prico to be paid for water sup.
plied from the company's works for irrigation should rerl;
sent the fair value of such water to the persons using
as four rupees by no means represented that value, °l3-•
also the value of agricultural produce in the localitiesl°B
tended to be irrigated had largely increased within tbessof
few years, and was still increasing, a higher charge thslil°,4
rupees per acre per crop would be the just right of then
pany, and might fairly and properly be assessed, andyet
a liberal additional profit to the cultivators. As a precaution,
ary measure the Government of Madras had carefullYandt
pressly notified to the cultivators that they were not to
derstand the present rate of four rupees to be a perniall
charge, but one liable to increase. The progress Inadeo.
the construction of the main canal from Soonkasala d°-
4n
wards had during the last six months been satisfaell
considering the period of the year embraced and the etIPPO
of labour available. The anicut across the,Toombuddll
Soonkasala was completed, with the exception of o°l/101
trifling finishing works, in June last. The first sectiono
the main canal, from the anicut to the Hindry acitle°llc.Bpi
the 18th mile, might be said also to be finished for use.oo
the second section of the main canal, from the 18th to
32d mile, there was much difficult work, but good proc
had been made. The third section, from the 33d t!,,t•
43d mile, had made, good progress, and was drill,
near to completion. The fourth section of 0.
main canal, from the 43d to the Gist mile,
sented no difficulties, and might be completed bt's
fore May next. The fifth section from the 61stof
the 74th mile, had been well and vigorously prosecuted'
Was fast approaching completion, some of the miles relo
ing in August last only settlement and trimming
bank. The sixth and seventh sections, extending fr°l3l,
75th to the 114th mile, would command for irrigati°l:o
large area of land. It was hoped that the main canal 11°46$
be completed to the end of the 78th mile by June, 17,41.
From the 78th mile the navigation was proposed to 1)(3o
ried on by a still water canal dropping into the river elltilo
at the 920 mile, where an anicut would divert it into
main irrigating channel intended to proceed thence d 1
the Koondair Valley. The engineer in charge of the , 4
dair Valley. The engineer in charge of the Koondair
sion, from the 114th to the 148th mile, reported in A° .
last that the works were proceeding very satisfactl
The plans and estimates of the ninth section of the !of
canal from the 146th to the 17811 mile, were on the 21rti/
Sept. last sanctioned by the Madras Government, an"
works were intended to be at once prosecuted viger°l
This section would terminate at the river Pennell', ot
complete the line between Soonkasala and the sea.
000
plans and estimates of the 10th section, embracing 1°
from the river Pennair towards Cuddapah, making the
length 188 miles, were some time placed before the 0°
mentof Madras for approval. The survey of the inlP°oBo
and promising district of Bellary had been regularli
tinued, The total receipts on capital account to the "p
ult. amounted to £793,872, and the expenditure
£623,404, leaving a balance of £167,468.

should turn cut that Mr. Lincoln, and not General
M'Clellan, has the apparent mejority in New York,
the Democratic party will be put in possession of a
monster grievance,
of which they may be well
trusted to make the most at the fitting opportunity.
General Butler's " Order'' was in other respects a
curiosity. It asserted that the "armies of the
United States were ministers of good, not of evil ;"
that they were " the safeguards of Constitutional
liberty ;" that they could be "a terror to evil-doers

only ;" and that " those who feared them were
accused by their own consciences." Tnis is the
approved autocratic style—the very formula of
Emperors and Kaisers, and should point out Gen.
Butler as the man born to be the Dictator of the
Commonwealth as soon as the people shall have
shown by a certain amount of patient acquiescence
in wrong that they are ripe and ready for the
strong hand, the steady will, and the unrelenting
purpose of their destined enslaver. But the most
invidious paragraph in " General Orders No. 1."
i 3 that in which the General asserts that fraudulent
voting, which he has been sent to punish, if he
cannot prevent, " is an offence against the peace and
dignity of the United States." Now, the Federal
Government or the Government of the United States
has nothing whatever to do with elections in any
State. Fraudulent voting is an offence against the
State in which it is committed; the authorities of
such State have both the right and power to punish
it; and theYederal authority and the Federal troops
have no more business to meddle with the local
jurisdication in such a matter than they have to in-
terfere in the domestic affairs of a foreign country.

If there were one thing more than another of which

the framers of the Constitution were pre-eminently
jealous it was of the slightest interference of the
central power with elections. So watchful were they
to prevent even indirect control or influence that
they specially enacted that no Senator or represen.
tative or person holding an office of trust or profit
under the United States should be appointed an
elector. By means of this proviso Gen. Butler is
himself excluded, and could not be chosen an elector
today to sit in the Electoral College which is to
choose the President unless he resigned his commis-
sion in the army. The Constitution of each State is
Equally decisive, and in some of the States even the
State militia cannot be summoned to drill or exer-
cise within a period of ten days preceding a Presi-
dential election lest the purpose of assembling it
should be to intimidate voters. Gen. Butler, how.
ever, favours centralisation, denies the rights of the
States, and manifests in this instance, as in every
other, a revolutionary purpose, not to be turned aside
by such poor impediments as laws and constitutions.
How long the "emergencies" which have brought

:THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN
AMERICA.

(From the Times' Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.

The eventful day that is to decide the fate of
America for the next four years, and possibly for all
coming time, dawned gray and misty. A thick
vapour covered land and sea, and concealed from the
sight of the spectator every object more than 50
yards distant. As the day wore on the gloom in.
creased, and by 9 o'clock was accompanied by such
a heavy fall of rain as is seldom to be seen in our
showery England, but which ever. and anon bursts
upon the Atlantic shores of this continent with the
force and continuity of a miniature deluge. Every
one predicted a " slim" vote as likely to be the re-
sult ; but before noon the rain abated, though the
fog did not clear away, and the people turned out
to the polling places in numbers as large as at any
previous election, or, as some old inhabitants say,
much larger. No troops were to be seen in the streets,
but it was notified in most of the journals that fully
10,000 men were posted in convenient localities,
some in steam ferry boats anchored in the East River
and the Hudson, and some in the neighbouring
cities of Brooklyn and Jersey, ready to act at five
minutes' notice in case of riot. Gunboats were also
stationed in both rivers. Except the report of the
capture of the Confederate war steamer Florida off
the coast of Brazil a month ago there was scarcely
even the whisper of a Federal victory, though so
many had been predicted as certain to happen on or
before to-day to raise the spirits of Mr Lincoln's
friends to the fever point of enthusiasm. This dis-
appointment tended to throw a moral damp upon
the Republican party ae cold as that physical one
which impartial nature, in the shape of mist and
rain, had thrown upon the just and the re-just, the
peaceable end the warlike. The only fact, or sem-
blance of a ft ct which seemed in any degreo to
warm the hearts of the Lineelnites with hope and
joy, and to animate the M‘Clellanites with the
more fervid sentiments of hate and indignation,
was the arrival of General Butler, and the noti-
fication under his own hand, that he had by direction
of the President and to meet a special emergency
assumed military command of the State of New
York. Nor did it tend to increase the equanimity
of the Democratic party to learn that so early as
Saturday, 30 hours or more before any official an-
nouncement had been made either of his presence or
his functions in this city, the General should have
ordered the attendance at his headquarters of Mr
Gilbert Dean, an eminent lawyer of this city, to
explain some passages in a speech which he had re-
cently made in support of Gen. M'Clellan, By what
right, it was asked, did the General summon to
wait upon him a gentleman with whom he was not
personally acquainted, and whom, if he wanted to
see, he could have found at his house or place of
business P But the official announcement of yester-
day morning was a sufficient reply to that question,
and the loyal leaguers, the contractors, the ester•
minators, the negrophilists, the war Christians, and
the friends of the Administration generally ware
loud in their expressions of joy that, to some one
more resolute and unscrupulous than the respectable
and gentlemanly, not to say polished and aristocra-
tic Gen. Dix, had been deputed the task of over-
awing the traitors and Copperheads, the Secession-
ists and Cessationists, who form so large a minority
in this great city. Two or three persons, one of them
a Wall-street broker, suspected of traitorous conspi-
racy with other persons unknown to send up the
premium on gold were invited by the polite and
peremptory aidesedescamp of the General to wait
upon the awful Butler, and explain why they
should not be sent to Fort Lafayette. But in all
these cases the trembling innocents escaped with
a reprimand. General Butler received his visitors
with all courtesy, seat in full military costume at
his writing table, with one loaded revolver on the
right hand and another on the left. In all quarters,
except among the zealots of the Republican party,
a decidedly angry feeling was created, not alone by
the appointment of General Butler, bat by the rea-
sons given by himself in his " General Order No. 1,"
why such duties were confided to him. This person
—whose names it is historical truth to say is synony-
mous in America, if not in Europe, with all that is
odious or despotic in the practice of Government,
informed the people of this great State and city,
little accustomed to be hectored and dragooned by
any individual, however high and mighty he may
be or may think himself, " that he had assumed
command of the troops arriving at and about to
arrive in New York to meet existing emergencies."
In order that he might not be accused of what
every one imagined his real purpose—a design to
overawe the people, this day presenting themselves
peaceably at the polls to tender their votes for Gen.
M'Clellan he explained the " emergencies," which
called for such an evil deus ex machina as himself to
meet and manipulate. They were no other than
" raids alike in quality and object to that made at St.
Alban's." He added that, had not such raids been in
contemplation " there could have been no necessity
for precautionary preparations." In other words,
the Federal Government, under pretext that a few
Southern refugees in Canada might take advantage
of the excitement of the Presidential election to
run over into Maine or Vermont, or cross the Lakes
above and below Niagara, to create disturbance or
commit depredations, despatched the tyrant of Now
Orleans to this city, and left his division of the
Army of the Potomac to take care of itself while he
guarded the Canadian frontier, five hundred
miles distant feom his head-quartere in Broad- ,
way. The people of New York were not
so simple-minded as to be deceived by so flimsy a
pretext, and if at the close of the polls to-day it

this ominous personage to Now York are to last
depends wholly upon the results of the election—
results which cannot be positively known, though
they may be surmised, before the departure of the
mail this evening, and which may depend upon the
votes of the Electoral Colleges far more than upon
the numerical majority of the people. If Mr Lin•
coin be elected with a suspicion of unfairness, either
on account of the non•reception.of Democratic votes
in the Border States, of frauds upon the soldiers, or
of intimidation in this or any other State, General
Butler will probably be a fixture in his new com-
mand. If, however, General M'Clellan be elected,
though the war would not be at end, there will be
an end of Gen. Butler as the satrap of New York.
This city will be relieved of a standing provocative
to ill temper, if not to ill behaviour, and America
will probably lose the civil as well as military ser-
vices of the boldest and ab!est of the many revolt',

tionists whom the volcanoes of civil strife have
truded from the depths of private or professional
life to the daylight and notoriety of the surface.
Though but little or no importance can now
attach to any of the electioneerin spetchts made
in behalf of either of the candidates, it may b 3 inte-
resting, in elucidation of the history of this extra-
ordinary time, to describe the character of some of
them, and notably those delivered in favour of Mr
Lincoln. The gentle Charles Sumner, the mild and
decorous Henry Ward Beecher, the modest and re.
tiring Anna Dickenson, and a whole army of lec-
turers and preachers have been busily engaged at
this work for the last week. Although they have
not sounded the praises of Mr Lincoln very loudly,
if at all, they have done the next best thing in their
power, they have hurled fierce denunciation against
his opponent. Miss Dickenson is above or beneath
criticism, and were she not a type of the kird of
women whom the American school system pretends
to educate, and launches into the world in utter
ignorance of everything
a woman ought to know,
and with a deep knowledge of everything of which
she ought to be ignorant, might be passed over
without notice. But Messrs Sumner and Ward
Beecher are persons of a higher range of intel-
lect, and neither man nor woman ought to
be ashamed to listen to teachers so well fitted
by study and turn of mind to instruct and edify
them. But what is the world to think of honest
Mr Sumner, who, in advocating the claims of Mr
Lincoln to re-election before a large assemblage of
ladies on Saturday evening condescended to employ
the argumen t—among many
M'Clellan's conduct in the arrest of the Maryland
Legislature in 1861 Was
not such as to justify any
one in voting for him. others as bad—that Gen.
" Mr Lincoln," he said, " had
arrested a few people, but Gen. M'Clellan had done
worse--he had arrested the whole Legislature of the
State of Maryland."
There were some men present
at the meeting, bat not one of them had a sufficient
play to reply to Mr Sumner
in of truth and fair
in the spirit of manliness, that to Mr Lincoln be.
longed the whole discredit of the arrest of those gene
tlemen ; that what was done by Gen. M'Clellan was
done in obedience to superior orders ; and that if Mr
Sumner's argument were valid on that account
against Gen. M'Clellan it told with infinitely greater
force against Mr Lincoln. But no one moved or
spoke, and the fluent orator gained an easy, but
ca victory. On the same evening

no middle course, and vilifies Gen. M'Clellan only
because ho fears that if such a man were President
he might make or listen to an offer of reconciliation.
But Mr Sumner is only a philanthropist who has
mistaken his road, and would rather ruin the world
than that justice should not be don© in it after his
own particular fashion. The Rev. Mr Beecher
occupies a different position, and has for a month
belied his religion and desecrated his pulpit by the
violent appeals which he has made to the political
passions of his congregation every Sunday evening,
when he has preached sermons avowedly intended,
and advertised, to favour the pretensions of Mr
Lincoln and to advocate the bitter prosecution of the
war. On Sunday evening last he wound up a pro-
fane sermon—often received with applause, and as
often with laughter—by the emphatic declaration,

if he begged it of a soldier, would stand in no need
of a day of judgment, inasmuch as he would be.cen-
tain to go to hell without judge or jury." What do
people deserve who take pleasure in the ministra-
tion of such preachers as this ?

5 o'CLocK P.M.
I have just time before the close of the mail, via
Boston, to say that the elections have all passe d
over quietly ; that the people were more than
usually good-tempered and orderly at the po'ils;
that they did not r ffird the slightest pretence. for
the interference of the police, much less of the mili-
tary; and that the Democratic party hero claim
very large majority for M'Clellan and Pondletr)n.
for Governor Seymour and the Democratic Tiekel.
The Republicans did not expect a victory in this
city, which is the stronghold par excellel we of the
Democrats ; but they hoped, and still hope, that
the rural vote will be found to be in favour of Mr
Lincoln, and with such a prepondere.nce in num-
bers as to more than neutralise the city vote for
M'Clellan. Rumours of plots in the West, and
especially in Chicago, where several influential
traitors were said to have been arrested, were cur-
rent during the day, but the people were too busy
with voting to pay any heed to them, or to anything
else that appeared in the newspapers, or that was
repeated at places of public resort. Ad idea that
New York, or any other city, will be, fired this
evening is universally scouted; but some malignant
partisans of the Administration, while admitting
the decorum of all classes in a tone as if they were
rather sorry than otherwise that there had been no
disturbance, comfort themselves with the reflection
that no thanks are due to the people for results so
creditable, but to General Butler, who awed them
into unwonted good behaviour. The banks have
carried on their business during the day, but there
have been no transactions in the Stock•Eachange
or in the gold market.

would not support him. To that gentleman, therefore, he
had no hesitation in saying that he would oppose the second
reading of that measure, as he had done before, and that
course he should pursue even should his seat depend upon
his following it. He believed that they could not make
men more sober than they could make them religious by
Act of Parliament, and ho thought the better plan was to
educate and improve the people. As to the subject of Re-
form, be voted for every bill that had been brought into the
house for the extension of the suffrage, and he should con-
tinue to do so. If, however, they intended that the working
classes should have the franchise, let them look well as to
the men they returned at next election. (Hear.) He was
therefore before them on that occasion to show that he had
kept all his promises, end done bes',, to attend to his
duties in the House of Commons ; and a better proof of that
he could not produce than the lists which had been pub-
lished of the attendance of members on the divisions in that
house. (Hear) From that list he found that in the session
of 1862 he had voted in 193 divisions out of the 222 which
took place; in 1863, in 153 out of 188 ; and in 1854, in 134
out of 156. He did not wish to mention names, but that
was more than any of the other metropolitan members could
boast of. Under these circumstances, he certainly did feel
that the malignity with which ho had been treated by some
parties was as unjust as it was ungenerous. Among other
things, it had been said that Sir Morton Peto was about to
retire from the representation of the borough because he
felt degraded by his colleague. On seeing that statement
in the Observer of last Sunday, he had writ ten to Sir Morton
Peto on the subject, and he had received a letter from that
gentleman stating that there was not a word of truth in the
assertion, that the cause of his retirement from Finsbury
was the amount of work connected with the representation
of the borough ; but that with regard to their mutual rela-
tions ever since they had sat together in the House of Com-

Mr HIGGINS, barrister, of Lincoln's Inn, seconded the re-

Finsbury. Ho was, however, met with such interruption
that he was unable to make himself heard, and contented

to consider the acts relating to the sale of intoxicating
drinks, such as the Forbes Mackenzie Act, the Permissive
Bill, and the licensing system generally.
The resolution was then put from the chair and adopted,
and a vote of thanks having been passed to the chairman the
large assemblage broke up at a late hour,
