The Croron Water work.----The Grand
scheme Of the LOcofocos for the Fall Elec-
tiOn.
We beg-we eutreat--we pray all the independent
readers Of the Herald to read peruse, asd study the
sent state of the great Bton Aqueduct, which will
be found in this dayt paper. At great expense
and much labor, we despatched last week of our
trusty agents, throughout the whole line from New
York to Sing Sing, who examined every part of the
way and collected every fact relative to the mon
strous management Of this great locofoco job.
Under the management Of the present Commission
ers, the Croton Water Works is to the Treasury of
New York city, what the Florida war is the
Treasury Of the General Governments scheme OF
plundering the public for the benefit Of "the party"
The locofocos cut down and pare away pittances in
the Corporation, while the greatest waste and ex-
travagance take place on the aqueduct.
But not only, is this public work converted into
job for party purposes-it contains, as now
managed, the ichoic scheme Of Mr.. Pan Buren, for
the recosery Of the city and state Of Ne,c York in the
merit faH elections, and on the basis of that reco
Gerry, his reelection to the Presidency. Talk not
to us Of the sub-treasury. That may do for
the silly blockheads of the Wall street press
Mr.. Van Buren's speech at Castle Garden about the
sub treasury was merely ,use de guerre to throw
the miserable whig opposition upon wrong scent
and it is highly probable he will succeed The man.
agement Of the Croton Water Works, we describe
ittoday contains the real campaign of Mr. Van Buren,,
for his election to the PresdeRcyand the support
of his majorities in New York for years to come
We desire every one to read, and reflect carefully,
on this days Herald.
HIS DEMOCRATIC MAJEsrY.-An account Of the
movements of this illustrous head Of this ustrous
Republic, at Cold Spring and West Point, is una
vodably crowded out until tomorrow, by the i'm
portance of the article the Croton Water Works.
The scenes at Cold Spring, at Mr.. Kembles iron
works, the interview between his Republican High
ness and the hard working of the Foundry; the
curious review of the $50 cadets at West Point the
reception there by "Dicky Delafeld the panster,"
as the Cadets call him; the wine drinking at Major
Deafeds house; the insults to the ladies assembled
on the green West Psnt; the mistake in firing off
the National Salute, when rs guns we're fired for the
% states and one gun for "The Herald, his Re-
publican Highness's visit TO the Cadets mess table;
his hasty escape from the island without escort;
the locofoco ball at Mr.. Kemble's that evening,
all Of the most amusing character, and will be given
in tomorrow's paper, with graphic engraving Of
locofsco cotillion party. So look out for fun.
The CONVICTION OF wHrTE.-A good deal Of |
public attention has been directed TO the conviction
of Ezra c. White, for the murder OF Peter Fitxpa
at great length in almost every daily paper, except
the Wall street evening ones.
Next week, White will be brought up for sentence,
and that occasion great inquiry will be started
TO the future Justice Already, portions
of the press have taken sides against the verdict Of
"wlful murder" and, o. course, the punishment of
death which necessarily follows it-and this view is
put forward on the ground that the murder took !
place in a melee, and was only manslaughter, al
though the jury fosnd the verdict "wilful murder"
One Of the most revolving features Of the is the
fact, that the deed committed with knife. and
far, resembles one Of those that take place in /
the streets Of the Mississippi towns. If by any mode
of mystifcatios, or any quantity Of sympathy, the
laws are 20 be defeated in New York, we afraid
that the injury TO society will be greater than many
imagine. In the Of Richard p Robinson, the |
character Of public justice in New York received a
great blow by the laxity oil It's execution Our pub |
lie authorities, from the Governor down to the Juror
ought to be careful how they triae with those senti
ments which preserve society intact, aud the
only strong basis OF civilization.
In order that the public may be duly informed Of
all the facts in this case have issued an Extra
from this Office, price two cents, which contains a
fuller account Of the evidence than has yet been pub
lished. We have our own independent opinion yet
10 give.
0ry- The "webster Rint" still seems to annoy
some Of the rabid party wing editors. What is the
factl Mr.. Webster borrowed large sum Of money
on the pledge Of the Boston and Illinois property,
and the amount raised by subscription as state
loans usually This I'VE prove to be the fact
whatever the miserable papers Of Wall street may
say. We shall give full exposure Of all this bu..
ness in a few days, with the and dates for
every item.
THE MISSIONARY CAusE.-We have encouraging
accounts from Ckarlestown, near Boston, in the
neighborhood Of the splendid Bunker Hill column
that is be, of the fourshing condition Of the great
missionary cause. IL seems that pious clergyman.
