uJ Reuben ". Whitney, the notorious Pet
Bank familiar of Messrs. Van Buren, Woodbury.
& Co. has coaxed Wing TO unite with him IN
the establishment Of neutral paper at Pha-
delphia, through which he is engaged in uttering
the fouest and most outrageous libels upon Mr..
Clay and the Wing majority in Congress. Wit
meas his assertion that Mr. Clay is cndeavoring 10
advance the interests of an aristocratic minority,
at the expense Of the great body of the Americas
People So in his last paper he has a column Of
base falsehoods of which the following is fair
specimen
Congress proclaim to the world, that they con-
tinue IN session-not to lcgisate-not succor the
country, and afford relief to the people-but TO
make President To secure offices for them
selves. their friends and their amllie. rhey avow
the treason. They glory in their shame They
defy the PEOPLE. Let them beware, how far they
carry their defiance"
Now we care little what Loco-Foco falsehoods
this notorious knsve NAV utter, even under the
treacherous garb of neutrality bat We shall take
the liberty OF once more aPprising Mr.. WIsrHRor
ArwILL, whom esteem Wing and gem

by permitting ms name TO be used a virtual en-
dorser of such fendish calumnics on th- true

r MAYOR MoREIs continues to avail himself
Of every palry preex to obstruct the direct course
pf business His reasons for refusing to sign GER
tain checks for bills ordered to be paid by the Joint
Committee on the Croton Aoueduct are nearly
equal in sophistry and qutbng to his la.t proclaim
alton to the late ofce-holders. The chief charge
refused to be paid by the Mayor are the expenses
arising from litigation in the Court OF CHANGER,
between the Water Commissioners and the Cor
poration and the expenses of the Commissioners
n the Spring of 1871, a. Albany. The Lc-isla-
ure in the year 1884 authorized tsc construction
4 the Croton Aquedrct, and created the Water
commissioners TO execute the work. B. that act
be- State gave fall power to the Commissioners to
cons,ruc, ard complete the whole work, and no r.
.trictions as their urIsd ction were imposed. IN
$40, the Corporation for party purposes, invaded
he province Of the Commissioners and commenced
l.yng pipes in the CRY. The Water Commission
ers obtained an Injunction against the Corporation
but, on technical grounds alone, the bill. was dis
| missed. About the same time the Loan Bill I,
prosecute the work was under discussion in the
Legislature. and 10 prevent its loss the Commis
sioners magnanmously Welded the point in dispute
and with their assent, act was passed giving Il
| the CerporatioR the control Of the work below
Murray Hill. The litigation had been entered into
in good faith and for the purpose OF testing the
ghts Of the parties, and the subsequent sction o.
the legislature on the Loan Bill fully instihcd the
Csmmis sioners in the view they had taken OF then
| own rights. There was no need of clause II the
| Loan Bill restraining the Commissioners from pro
ceedng below Murray Hill, if, by the act Of 1894
their rights and powers extended no lower than
| that point. The contest was between equals. moi
between principal and his agent; boththe Water
| Commissioners and the Corporation being eqgails
the agents of the people The Water Commission
ers were At Albany, for the benefit Of this City
| engaged in advocating the passage Of this Loan
Bill and to that end cooperating with the Comp
roller and other officers Vi the then City Govern
| ment. The expenses OF the latter gentemeH, it Is
presumed, were quietly paid; those of the Com
missioners, which were equally important, are un.
paid to this day This statement Of the facts il
the case have been condensed from the remarks OF
AID Dodge Of the Third Ward, as reported in the
Americas.
