A SUSPICIOUS PROJECT.

Tie Board of Councilmen recently resolved 10 pre-
pare for the customary celebration Of the fth OF july
and proposed the enormous sum of Ten Thousand
Dollars to defray the expenses There Is something
suspicious in this unparalleled appropriation. Under
the robbng system of 1852, when no opportunity to
bleed the Treasury was omitted, and when certain
Aldermen had exhibitions of fireworks at their resi-
dences. the entire expenses for the 4th OF July
reached only S4I95 rs; aud this is the highest
amount ever used. In 1919 it WAS 81 ,'ol IL; IN
ESQ, S2.0l6 81; in 1851, $2,5l4 90; in 1852, as
above; and in 1853 under the reign OF corruption,
only S37i7 Ga: the average for five years being
50 sec. Yet our Reform Council makes demand in
advance for SO eco, which-f the expenses should
exceed the appropriation in the usual ratio-wili
probably swell to more than $4,000 by the day OF
settlement When it is reeollected that large por
ton of the money charged to the "4th of July on
ore of the years we have named, was expended in
creature comforts in the shape of brandy wine and
ciaars which were stored in the City Hail. and eis
urely consumed by members OF the Common Council
and few friends of these worthless, this demand for
O.C0O has very ugly look and the best course tho
Aldermen can sue will be to cut it down TO 80 OO0
at once. OF course there will be much vaporlng
trash about want of patriotism, niggardly economy
&C.. but as it will come only from thO'e whose nat
ural procliyty to public robbery is irresistible It VIII
be beneath TIE contempt q those who desire cele-
brution which will honor Instead of disgracng and

The Board of Water Commissioners, Who have
served our City most faithfully and efficiently for
years, have been renOminated by Mayor Westervet
an act we record to his honor. two Of the three
are not of his politics. Two or three Wing Alder
men having LETT the City the great Railroad Excur
sion, it is understood that Tammany Caucus has de-
termned that these nominations shall be pulled out Of
the Committees hands this evening, and those OF the
two Wings rejected BY the votes of minority Of the
Board whom the accidental absence Of the two or
three aforesaid will have transformed into tempo
rary majority.
We believe our citizens aware that during the
late reign of unbounded corruption in our City, no
whisper of uspciOn was ever breathed against the
Water Board-no faint of jobbing or connigalce with
contractors ever fastened upon them. And while
almost every other department has called for extra
appropriations 10 enable it TO bring the year around,
the Water Department has always found the original
appropriation sufficient. and has carried balance
over to the next years serycesaid balance amount
ing, at the close of the last year. to no less than
$4,000. We trust means will be found 10 prevent
the election Of TIE Water Commissioners, or any OF
them, at least until all the Aldermen can BE- present

The President is very much excited upon the Boston
slave case and he says that if necessary he will order out
every soldier in the United States Army TO enforce the law.
He seems to think that the excitement is owing to seri
GUS and determined opposition TO his Administration.
Judge Dougas has left here for Chicago ria New-fork,
and he seems determined that oil the evils and expenses
resulting from this Boston shall be sadilcd
upon and borne by the General Government, and that
Cen Pierce aud his Cabinet shall have all the excavations,
benefits and behoofs to result thereom The southern
members, especially those who get thirsty are in high
of swearing excitement and after reading The Union
ard The Soy ready to march in procession to Bos

The prospect of war with Spain is not 80 hatering

tho acquisition Of Cuba, By purchase conquest was
cardinal point of faith with this Administration ut its in

from Massachusetts, has served with distinction In the
Legislature of Lis State, where his talents and popu-
larity made him ultimately Speaker; atser which he
WAS seut TO Congress from -l3 70 lol9, when he de-
clined further reelection. He was the colleague OF
Gov Briggs in the late Constitutional Convention OF
Massachusetts,, being chosen from the town (Pit's-
feld) wherein they are both best known. lmbued
with genuine love of liberty his manners and bear
ing are those of dwcller among the free hills and
old Berkshire was never more fifty and honorabiy
represented in Congress r1an when he was her Mem
Der.
We rejoice especially in the selection of Nf. Rock
well for Senator at this time, when the paucity OF
seats in the Senate filed by those who believe the
Rights of Man to be something than an orator
byperbole renders douby requisite thnt those seats
should be all filed with true ssrong aad fearless men,

great question as body, and are rapidly growing
more so: but STILL as between Boston and Berkshire
there is difference in the atmosphere; and we are
glad that the new Senator halls from the yicnage of
