Our readers will remember we mentioned .eys.
raj months ago that one o. dc A. Santanpe,o had
been arrested and held to bail in New Yor, Gar
having published gross and wicked libel ON Sc
nator McRober,s, of this state. An Indictment
was found again, Sansngelo by the grand iurv of
the city and county of n. Y in September last.
aud his trial came off on the 9th inst We find
the following notice of it in the Globe of the l2.h
D. De A. SANTANGELo, known in this
cry rs the author of various scurrilous
pamphlets, was tried on Friday last, IN the
city OF New York, for false and mali
cions libel upon Senator McRoBERrs of
ILLINOIS, and verdict of guilty rendered
against him.
In the course of the trial. the Hon. A.
Fanderpoel, and Mr.. Whiting, dis,ric, At.
torney, for the prosecution, produced i.
pamphlet called "Instructons to Com
sell and which they proved to be writ.
ten by Santangelo, in which he makes the
extraordinary disclosure, that two or three
men were connected with him in fabrica-
ting the libel against senator McRoherts
and that these men were members of con.
gress; but he made a pledge to keep their
names secret: his words are, "wbose
names shall never make known. This
had been suspected when the libel made
its appearance here last summer.
His honor the recorder, Mr.. Tallmadpe.
IN the course of a very able charge to the
jury, adverted to this and said that, if il
were true that an individual could so de-
grade himself as TO become the mere re-
taller of the libsls and ISLANDERS of Others,
who had taken shelter behind him, it on
ly added to the enormi,y of his crime.

From the Quincy Herald.
C.iies. States senator.

United States senator.
The result oil the election of United
States Senator has not only disappointed
but deeply grieyed tie Democratic party
in this region Of eountry.-We have not
The least hesitation in asserting TIA, Judge
Young was the first choice Of a large ma
jority of the Democratic party, Of not only
Adams county, bat lie whole Military
Tract, and indeed, otthe whole Northern
section of the STATE. We learn from
Springfield, fom the most unques!ionable
authority, that undue and unfair influences
were exerled by some Of his enemies to
defeat his election. Among those who
were thus actively engaged, was Mr..
Walters, one Of the editors of the State
Register, and the present public printer.
We hope the friends Of Judge Young will
remember him when his name shall be
presented Cor their votes. We know not
what others may l,ink of his conduct, but
70 us it seems most degrading, and had
he taken the same steps against either Of
the other candidates, we should have
spoken as freely, and viewed his course
in the same hight We have no desire to
deprive the editor of the Register of any
right he may possess as member Of the
Democratic party, for he certainly is JUS
tifable in having preference; but occu-
plying the position that he does in relation
to the Democratic party, he should be the
last man to attempt to exert his influence
against any prominent member Of the
party, without tina! mans course had been
such as to render him justly odious to the
party. In this case, we have been
credtably informed, that Mr.. Walters
trayersed, during last fall, nearly the whole
Of the northern part Of the State, and en-
braced every opportunity Of iniuring
Judge Young, b. falsely asserting, that
he was Wing in principle--that he was
in favor Of a high protective tariff, and
that he voted for the Bankrupt Law.
The same assertions were made by Mr..
Walters and others, more recently at
Springfield. We pronounce them false
charges, and dare Mr.. Walters OF any
other person who used them, to produce
the proof. Judge Young, in communi.
cation which was published in this aud
most other Democratic papers in the State,
and among the rest in the State Register,
clearly and satisfactorily defined his
course in regard to the Bankrupt Law,
and stated explicitly that he was opposed
to it, and had voted against it on its final
passage. Notwithstanding. all this, these
charges were secretly urged, and we
doub, not. were instrumental in defeating
him. Not many weeks since, MIR. Wal
ters was complaining Of the illibcral course
pursued towards himself by some of the
Democratic editors in the State. His
course towards Judge Young has been ten
times more unreasonable and uniustiiable.
He is now a candidate for public printer,
and as he is not willing to deal out Justice
to men who are equally as good Demo-
Gratis as himself, we trust the Legislature
will elect some one who is. We have
not done with this subject.

THOMAS II. BENTON
An Honor s,cciiucd.

Mr.. TnoMAs RircHIE the veteran edito; Of the
Richmond Enquirer having been spoken of as
the democratic candidate for governor of Virginia,
by number Of his cotemporaries, declines the
honor in the following language. Such a spec
tacle, the Lancaster (Pa.) Intessncer justly re,
marks, extraordinary and striking as it is, is wor~
thy of the pure patriot OF the Enquirer:
Several papers out Of The state have al
so been complimentary enough to propose
our name for the governor of Virginia.
We would most respectfully and unequi-
vocally decline the honor, even if it were
rendered TO our acceptance. Some of the
wags may cry out "the grapes are sour
but if they were as sweet as the honey OF
Hybla, we would positively refuse them.
We have no ambition, no pretensions, and
no qualifications for such an Office. Even
if we had been "cut out for the panta'
LOOM" as the French tailor once said in
this city, we would not, at this time, ex-
change the editorial chair for the chair OF
state. The New York Standard is kind
enough, with infinitely more compliments
than we deserve, to "dcprecate our trans
la,ion''--and TO call upon the democratic
party to "keep us where we now are
We agree with him perfectly in opinion
and we assure him as we'll as them, that
we have not the most distant idea OF leav-
ing the Enquirer, or of imparing any
energy it may possess. We mean to fight
this great battle out-we will spare no no.
norable means to plant the victorious ban
ners of the republican party on the RAM
parts of the constitution. Such is our set
lied purpose-and we leave the honors Of
the government to those who better de-
serve them-to hundreds who are better
qualified to discharge their duties.

g-CThe different letter writera at Springfield
all agree tina, the "ci2pe," headed by Walters
and Canada Peck, opposed both Breese and
Young, and went for a third man. Young they
long since determined to heat, and from the move
lately made, IN this section by the Cohorts" we
satisfied that Breese was also to be sacrificed.
One thing is certain hat the friends Of Judge
BIseso in this section Of the state, are now
receiving the soverest abuse from Walters
cohorts, and simply because Judge Breose was
not denounced and abused by those who consider
Walters unworthy of the station he occupies.
With Judge Dreeso we have no personal ac-
quaintance, and consequently were not compe-
tent to Judge his qualifications for the Office Of
Senator, save by the general feeling existing in
the South in his favor. Where he was best
known he was most esteemed, and this consldc-
ration induced us to treat him and his friends with
that seven handed justice" which every demo-
craft entitled to receive from free and indepen-
dent press. For pursuing this course, the editor
Of the State Register has heretofore denounced
US, as well as almost every other democratic ed-
tor in the state. Senator Breese, and his friends
must know that If Walters is continued as State
Printer, that discord and confusion must exist be-
tween the central organ and the local press. The
corruption and imbicity OF the State Register
has been exposed by at least six of the democratic
papers in the state, They have spoken on the
subject in such a manner, that retreat never
need be expected, and as long as the Register is
sustained as the organ of the party. so long will
discord exist in our ranks. The local press hav-
ing lost all confidence in the Register, they re-
gard every thing tina, emanates from it, as the
mere ebullition of a narrow-minded croaker, who
the responsible station he now occupies.

cRoroN WATER WORKS.

The stupendous enterprise oil Conduct
ing the Croton river into the city OF New
York, by closed aqueduct oil thirty-three
miles in extent, carried over bill and val
Iley-is now brought to the point oil com
pletion. The entire work will cost The
CITY Of New York between eleven and
twelve millions Of dollars. and its result
will show that the money has been well
spent. We find the following article on
the subject in tho New York Courier OF
| Monday
We understand that the Water Com
missioners, Messrs. Stevens, Ward, King
and Birdsall, with Messrs. Jervis, Allen
and French, have just returned from their
late examination Of the interior OF the Gro
ton Aqueduct proper.
They entered the Aqueduct at its mouth
| at the Croton river and pursued the ex-
| animation down to Sing Sing, continuing
their examination under ground to the
Harlem river, distance Of thirty-three
miles which under ground examination
EMPLOYED them three days. In the low
est cut, which is above Sing Sing, they
were 10 feet below the surface of the
earth, and at the Mill river embankment
they were 50 feet above the surface oil
the earth below.
The temperature was found to be from
So to SO degrees. At the greatest depths
at which the Aqueduct is constructed mot
unirequcntly through solid rocky springs
have frequently forced their way into the
works. These, to some extent 1t has been
found more convenient 10 permit to flow
INTO the work than to exclude.
The genela al condition OF the work they
found good. and the small checks and
openings lief, to draw the water while the
asst finish was being put upon the work
have been directed to be closed up.
The line of the Aqueduct and the Dam
will both be so far completed as to intro
duce the water into the city by the time
proposed by the Commissioners-on the
4th of July.
The pipes across the Harlem river are
already laid, and have been filled with
water to prove their ughtness and ability
to resist the head, which is about lao It.
In both respects The proof was salisiacto-
ry.
In this great work our citizens will
soon have surety against such awful
calamties as befel them in 1885 and the
late connagration at Hamburgh. We
wish we could add that the work in the city
under the direction ofthe corporation was
in such a state Of forwardness that our
citizens could be furnished with this wa
ter as beverage and for culinary pur-
poses as soon as il viii be introduced into
the city by the Ward Commissioners.
