Mr.. MAYORS reply was followed by second note
from Ingersoll, of which this is a copy
Friday afternoon, half pasts oelock,}
sir-Your notice is explicit My friend Mr. Pleasoaton Who
snd You tins w %ss any SS may be " de-
| have the honor to be, your servant - .,.>1
Charles Nayior, Esq., Third street
On carrying this note to Mr.. Naylor, it appears
that Mr.. Plessanton found gentleman with Mr..
Naylor, who requested that Mr.. Pleasanton would
explain his errand in the others presence, which
was declined. Mr.. Naylor then led him into anoth-
room-at first refused to read the note, then read
it, and said he would answer Mr. Ingersoll in wri-
ting. Mr. Pleasanton "politely' desired to know
when the answer would be returned, when Mr.. Nay
Tor ordered him TO leave the house. Mr.. Pleasan-
ton hesitated, words ensued then blows, then fight,
and then Mr.. Naylor pleasantly kicked Mr.. Plea
santon out of the house, and the following
to Mr.. IngersoH:-
Friday afternoon, March 90, 1910.
srI return yonr note of this aernoonwhenevcr you find
gentleman in my house they shall receive answer
ihase the honor to be y2Ip, sfrE Fs ,,v1oR
C. Ingsrsoii, Esq, 1856 Walnut street.
So far kicking impudent out Of his
house. Mr. Naylo did perfectly right; but il RI
diculous to tell Mr. Ingersoll to find somebody else
to carry notes, because most likely he would be
kicked too and the fact ofthe kicking by Naylor,
is prma evidence that the letter carrier did not
behave like a gentleman. Again, the promise that
somebody else should SO receive an answer" was nom
sense, without meaning, because any reasonable man
would consider a coed kicking a very forcible and
sufficient answer to auy thing
The whole Of this ridiculous and isgraccful affair,
however, grows out of politics. All the frauds Of the
day, moral social, and financial grow Of politics.
And it seems that a registry law is perven-
tive for frauds at elections, in the present democrat
lied state of society. There is not the least doubt
that frauds were committed both sides; and if
Nayor and Ingcrso and all their friends were each
round, the balance Of their fellow citizens would
look and say swell DONE We have become an
fuit at this bludgcon business in New York; we
have several bludgcons consccrated to the work;
Bob White has one, Col Webb has two or three,
and several Of the Hebrews have budgeons amongst
them. New York don't want a monopoly Of this
business; and il would be great pity il Philadel-
pkia, which exceeds much in reguery Of all
kinds, could not get up good fight as New York.
REMOVAL or THE OLD WATER ComnrssIoNrns.
The CRoToN AaUEDUcr.-At length the Eexecu-
tive Of this State has been compelled by our erposf
to dismiss the laundering, incompetent. men, who
so long mismanaged the affairs Of the Croton Aque-
duct, and to appoint in their place. At the
head Of tho new Board Of Commissioners stands
Samuel Stevens, formerly an Alderman: but the ac-
tive working men in the BOARD will be DIR. Childs
and Ben Birdsall. Mr.. Fox re-appointcd by the
Governor, but he was mixed up with the blunders
and obstinac~ OF Stephen Allen and Saul Alley, that
he was compelled to resign, and we presume that
Col. Ring will be appointed to supply his place.
For nearly year past we have reviewed the whole
eosrse Of the dismissed Water Commits sioners, ex-
posed the various blundcrs in relation to the pur-
chase Of property before il wanted, the neglect
at the Croton Dam, the ruinous delay and obstinacy
about the Harlem Bridge, the endless and needless
disputes with the contractors about the cemented
sand and gravel, various other portions Of the exca-
vations the gross bunders in the mode Of springng
the arches Of the aqucduc the runous alteration in
the strength Of the side masonry and brick work,
the bulging Of large portions Of the work and in
short exposed the whole Of the errors and blunders
ignorant and wful obstnacy Of the dismissed Com
missioners. In conjunction with all this, we called
loudly for their dismissal and at last we have effect
ed this great reformation for the public good But,
in connection with this natter it is most amusing to
see the ridiculous laundering and vaporing Of the
thickheaded conductors Of the Commercial Adj
vertier;" they said Saturday, that the error Of
commencing the Harlem Bridge last has " ever been
concealed" up TO the present time. II has been con-
ccalcd only from the thckheads Of the laundering
Wall street editors, who have just woke up on the
nbjsct; for not only that but every other blunder,
has been exposed again and again in this paper du-
ring the last year, and remedy called for.
All that, however, is past; we have effected the
removal Of incompetent from great public
work We have now TO attend to their successors,
and see that they do NOT commit similar blunders.
And in order to prevent their doing 90, We invite
them TO call at the Office Of the Herald" and read
cver earefullv all the fact. - A. 49,.
