FOR THE WATcHMAN.

We perceive that Mr.. Harker has attempted to
rdcule the idea, that the amount of money re-
ceyed by Mr. Adams, is an evidence OF his nu-
mel Gus and valuable services. But if he would
consider for moment the form of our government,
the manner of detrayng the expenses of its agents,
and the character of its Executives, he would per-
ceye that his rdicule is much misplaced and that
his appendant reasoning is extremely erroneous.
The Republican form of our government condemns
all sinecures no man can draw from the public
Treasury unless he has been actually employed.
Ever Jealous of their liberty, the eyes and under
standing Of the nation behold with keen scrutiny
the services of its officers, and every dereliction
from duty, or indication of Incidence, is marked
with contempt, and reprehendcd in prompt, frank
and stern manner by the power Of public opinion, !;
and where neglect is known in the agent quick
discharge follows and the country is speedily re-
I lieyed from its useless burden But not only are
the servants Of the public thus watched and dealt
with, but the strictest examination is made into
every item of the charges in their minor accounts,
by tile most intelligent and honest men, inmedi
ately representing the people, and partakins in
their gains and their losses: and il there appears
an unjust or extoronate charge, it is felt by them
as an attack on their own property, and meets
with its proper erasure and disallowance. But
each person under the Executive has not only his
own character at stake but also that OF his employ
err, This tact is what ensures the employment OF
dligent. honest, and intelligent men to all our
diplomats empoyments abroad and important ana

responsible offices at home. The man who looks
Tor public appreciation as his reward, will always
be extremely careful that his agents do not thwart
his wishes, by ignorance or fraud, and cast stis
ma on his wisdom and integrity. Thus every
thing seems to unite to procure honest men for
public offices of high Importance. These are the
facts which led us to conclude that the amount
of money received by ]. Q. Adams in his public
capacity, is an argument in his favor; for he who
has served under so many honest and illustrious
Presidents-whose accounts have been allowed
whose long and arduous services have been highly
approved by vast majority of the People-and
who has been so largely, yet legally and justly re-
warded, can be no other than wise, intelligent
honest and deserving.
But Mr.. Harker says, that the large amount OF
money which MIR. Adams has received, is the only
evidence in his favor. But if Mr.. Harker will
be candid he must acknowledge, that all Mr.. Adj
ams's receipts are for services rendered-and his
appointments to all his offices have been in con-
sequence of his experience and integrity. Or il
he will not admit these facts he must libel our for
mer Presidents and impeach the honesty of the
committee of accounts, the intelligence of the House
Of Representatives, and doubt the good sense of
the People-whie he must arrogate to himself more
knowledge and honesty than the whole of them.
But Gen. Jackson can claim no credit for such
numerous and important appointments. He sprang
up last war, aud when it ended he became station
ary-his " Occupation was gone," his business
ceased, and he is no longer OF actual service to
his country. But ]. @. Adams's abors are always
required. Whatever state the Country may be in,
his wisdom experience and intelligence are deman.
ded by the public. He has not yet been permitted
to retire to his farm, for the loud call Of his
country forbds the inaction of his talents, and
through all her wcissitudes for forty years he has
aided, cherished and adorned her institutions, pro
tected her liberty and added honor to her name.

At the request Of some Of the Citizens Of the
Borough Of Wilmington, the following estimate
ot the cost Of Supplying this place with water from
Tie Brandywine, /, made.
Firstly STEAM.
Steam Engine. siX-horse power, (hleh

Forcinr punlp. including air vessel, $50 90
1000 feet Of castiroa pipes. inches

Layinr Tor same at 5 cts. per foot, 500 90
Filteiinc reservoir on Brandywlne,
and house for the engine, 1000 W
Additional reservoir at summit OF the
Borough, Zut'u w
Socks aud safety valve between bran
DIVINE and summit, loU w
Contingent expenses, supposed TO
amount to l2 per cent. on the above, 1000 0o
S9SS0 90
The above estimate is for force equal to a COM
non mill power and will raise 10000 gallons per
hour, to perpendicular height OF 100 feet :-ad-
hitting that 10000 gallons would be sufficient
supply for each day, the engine would raise that
quantity in two aud half hours and would re-
qulrc one ,hird of a cord of wood, which at "a
per cord. would cost annually Sls7, say $500
The above estimate i, exclusive OF the sfound
OH which the works will stand.
Second--BY WATER POWER.
The onl, min that would answer the purpose IS
Cummins's, for which he asks SAC 900; from which
deduct the cost Of the engine and house, equal to
$500, GALL the other expenses beng the same Tor
either power,) and there remains $4,000.
Interest on S37, 800 at per cent, 1878 90
Deduct for rent Of the mill 1000 90
Leaves annual expense by mill power, 1875 90
being SaT5 more than BY steam
As any mechanic, whose business requires or
can be aided by the surplus power of the steam
engine, would keep up the repairs, and attend to
The supplying Of the water for the surplus power
Of the engine the interest of the cost OF erect
ms the water works, added to the cost OF the fuel
would be the amount Of annual expenses, equal to
S9h6, say $1,000.
When it is considered how much is added to
Inc safdy and comfort of the citizens, by having
Il all times, and for all emergencies, sufficient
supply Of water, at an additional annual expense
. the Borough, Of less than one thousand dollars
7 Is believed that all persons, aud particularly
