CROTON WATER.

Yhe rapidly increasing demands upon the
Croton Department for water, create the most
serious apprehensions with regard to the sup
plies. For months past the water in the
reservoirs has been far below the intended
mark, and at this time in the Distributing
Reservoir, it is eleven feet below In case of
fire like that of lS45 the citizens would be
obliged to depend upon the flow from the
aque duct, as the reservoirs would be COM
pletely drained This condition has been long
foreseen by the President of the CrOton De-
Iartment, and for the past three years he has
from time to time urged upon the Common
Council the necessity of constructing another
and much larger Reservoir, and of such an otter
alton of the High Bridge as would allow the
flow Of the entire capacity of the aqueduct-
the present inverted syphon only trans
hitting about half as much as o con-
tinuOus aqueduct would do The Board have
pointed out and explained the very inadequate
accommodations for storing water on the island,
and forcibly set forth the great danger of re-
lying upon the present resources. Yet in view Of
all this, the Common Council seem TO have de-
termined that the existing works, containing
only water enough for FIVE days consumption,
furnish ample protection against all future ac-
cidents and contingencies of floods, tempests,
fires, and decay of works. True, there is bill
before the Legislature empowering the Com
mon Council to take land for a reservoir, aud
it may pass but there is no provision for rails
ing money to pay for the land, and so the au-
thority, if granted, cannot be used for the
desired purpose. The real secret seems TO be
apetty design on the part of the Common
Council TO annoy and embarass Wing De-
partment, and especially to prevent that De-
partment from controlling the building Of the
great reservoir, which must, at no very distant
period, be constructed. Such motives are TOO
contemplate to waste words upon no other
body of men could entertain them
i The City requires and must have all the wa
ter that the aqueduct will yield. For secur-
ing that supply, the Bridge must be so altered
sssto permit the full stream TO pass over unob-
structed. Then, to be secured against a break
in the acqueduct or dam, there must be res
eryOir Of immense size on this island These
are measures demanded by every dictate of
calculation and experience, and persistently
urged for years by the officers most intimate
with the reasons upon which such demand is
founded. Should any sudden catastrophe re-
duce US to the necessities above indicated all
the satisfaction we should get would be the
disagreeable duty of heaping additional odium
upon Common Council which is already the
Disgrace of the City.

popular demand is. that their appointment
should proceed from an impartial Com
mission, composed like the Commission OF
Emigration, OF men Of the highest character,
Who will have no other object in view
than the welfare of the City Instead Of
such Reform as this. our representatives
OF Albany or st least the majority Of them,
propose to leave the appointing power where
it now is, and to render the appointments per-
petual The Alderman and Assistants will
name the policemen Of their respective Wards
and the Mayor confirm them as now, but once
confirmed, they will hold office as long as they
please, or as long as they can escape impeach-
nent,-no difficult matter under such a Cor
poration as ours What device could be more
effective for keeping in power the set of mea
by whom this metropolis is now ruled and plum
deredl With a new Police organized under
such system, combining as it doubtless would,
the choicest elements Of the Empire Club, and
with Aldermen not only occupying the Bench,
but deciding beforehand who should be brought
up for trial. and with the spoils of the treasury
TO furnish the basis of operations, New-YOrk
may be expected to furnish spectacle even
more repulsve than that which now makes its
Corporation the scOrn and disgust of the
world
Why is it that with such imperious necessity,
and such unanimous desire on the part Of our
citizens we cannot have thorough measure
of Reform Do the legislators of the State
desire to keep the metropolis in position so
onerous to US, so disgraceful to popular in
situations Do they know that the iniquities
Of our rulers are greedily cited in the journals
Of Europe as an evidence that republican
government is gross failure Do they know
that the organs of Spanish tyranny at Havana
console their subjects by the exposure of tho
manifold rascalities of which the free people
of the chief city Of the United States are the
victims If they know these things why
should they suffer the evil to be prolonged TO
be intensified What local advantages
what political rewards that any Of them may
bargain for, can justify them, even in their
own eyes for assuming the responsibility Of
continuing such state Of things

MINISTER TO SPAIN.

We are a little surprised at the intelligence
brought 10 US last night by telegraph that
Mr.. SOulc has been appointed Minister to the
Court of Madrid, notwithstanding our Wash
iDgton correspondents some days since pre-
dicted the appointment. 1t has been sup
posed that Louisiana would not be allowed
two first grade missions, and when Mr.. SIidell
was appointed TO Central America, it was
reckOned to settle Mr.. SOule s prospects in the
diplomatic line Another reason for the sup
position that Mr. SOul6 would not receive this
mission particularly, is, that it was applied for
by distinguished legal gentleman of LOuisi-
ana, who came to Washington at Mr.. SOul6s
suggestion. and with promise from him, Mr..
S., that he would render the aforesaid gentle
man all the needed aid to obtain any position
he desired. When it transpred, some days
ago, that Mr.. SOul6 was himself candidate
for the mission, he was applied TO promptly by
the gentleman in question to know if it were
so, and if he had been brought to Washington
on a wild goose chase To this Mr. Soule re-
piled that be would not accept the Spanish
Mission except upon one condition, and that
condition he did not suppose the Administra-
ton would grant. Upon being questioned as
60 what it was, he replied that it was that he
should hare unlimited po,cers for the purchase
Of Cu6d
We infer, therefore. that Mr.. Soule is in.
vested wish unrestricted authority to bar.
gain for that island This is the object for
which he goes. He has walked straight over
purpose and no other. We may be sure he
will exert all his skill all his adroitness, and all
his ability TO accomplish this object. He is
possessed Of a bOundless ambition, aud we
don't know any thing he would not do to signal
ize his diplomatic career and give eclat TO his
name TO the extent that would be done by the
annexation of Cuba through his efforts. We
are prepared, therefore, for any kind of pro-
iect and any sort of demonstration which
looks toward this result. We expect to hear
in tie end of cajOleries, acknowledgements,
tbreatenings, and every description of exped-
ent played of upon Spain without stint or
measure, by the ardent, ambitious and unscru-
pulous Frenchman now sent to represent us
at the Spanish Court The Cuban fillbusters
will have Jealous ally in Mr. SOule, who will
second any of their motions that promise sue.
cess. And We have no doubt that, if every
other expedient fails to acquire Cuba, that
our new Minister will not hesitate to. do his
best to get up war between US and Spain in
the hope and expectation that that will accom-
plifh the object. Spain is, therefore, the
point in our European relations that we shall
scrutinize with the closest gaze and the great.
est interest during Mr.. SOul6's ssay at Madrid
We expect nothing but that he will involve the
country in some difficulty before he gets
through with the job he has on hand.

THE JEsUITS.

We give place in this paper TO the commu.
nication Of an eminent member Of the Society
of Jesus, who impeaches the correctness of
certain remarks Of ours made recently in con-
nection with the reported imminent death Of
NJ. RoOrHAAN, the Father General of the
Society. In so doing, We have word to say on
the general subject.
Our correspondent denies the truth of our
statement, whose particular data were derived
from the Supplement to the Conversations.
LezikOn Of Bro klaus, work of eminent
accuracy and respectability in matters of
fact, that during the last quarter of GEN.
tury the Order has gained in power and infu.
ence from the necessity which Despotism has
found of turning to it for support. This de-
nial is made with sufficient ingenuity We do
not understand whether it is the necessity
OF Despotsm, or the use alleged TO have
been made Of it by the Society, which is dis
puted. In bringing such an accusation, as be
does, the writer should be more precise in his
specifications. But as it is he cannot find fault If
We assume that bis denial extends alone TO the
allegation that the Society has been enlisted
in Europe on the side Of Monarchy aud Abso-

SLAVERY AND SIN.

The Wilmington On. c. Commercial lately
saw fit TO challenge US to discuss with it the
condition Of the poor, North and South,
especially as affected by the existence of Slay-
cry. The challenge we accepted cheerfally,
and frankly admitting the imperfections Of our
own Social system, but urging that we had
long been considering and striving to amend
them, and inviting our Southern friends 20 aid
us with practical suggestions looking TO
that end either through their journals or
through lectures in our. great cities, where
they should be assured candid and
quiet hearing We proceeded TO indicate
,cme very striking disparities between North
ern Poverty and Southern Slavery, such as the
equality Of Rich and Poor in the witness box or
at the bar Of our courts OF justice, contrasted
with the inability of Southern slave TO sue
anybody or even testify against a white
man. We suggested that the poorest in
this section of the country, provided they
be skillful, industrious, frugal and tenn
perate, may save something for their chill
dren, and may hope to see them rise TO
station among the most honored and fortunate.
But above al We urged the absolute right of
. poor Northerner to the society of bis wife
and children, and the amplitude Of their pro-
lection against libertine outrage and violence

n NJ. Chevalier in his recently translated
pamphlet on the depreciation of gold, estimates
the general increase of prices at three per cent
annually. We have not perused the work lie has
not yet been published in this country,) and
do not know the precise ground on which he
reaches this conclusion In the remarks
we have had occasion TO make heretofore on
subject, We have put it down at four per. cent,
and We see nothing to shake that opinion In
deed We are more inclined to think that il will
rather 90 over than under that mark. We
should be glad if writer's who treat this subject
would abandon the afectstion Of calling the
appreciation Of prices the depreciation Of
gold" Ii really means the same thing, but
the first is easily comprehended by everybody,
while the latter only tends to vex the ordinary
understanding. N. Cheyalier concludes that
the relative value Of gold and silver is not 10
be permanently disturbed by the gold discoye-
ries Of California and Australia, inasmuch as
the mines Of silver already known are inez'
haustible, and because they are likely TO be
worked under the new stimulus of extraordi-
nary demand for silver with increased yigor and
skill. NJ. Tegoborski, an eminent Russian
writer and statistician, has just published in
Paris q work upon this subject, in which be
expresses a similar opinion. We have no
doubt that it is just, and that the equilibrium
between gold and silver will at no distant day
be restored
