= YORK ATLER.-W. d. Ballaeh, Esq: Dear
Sir-Much TO my surprise found in your paper,
last evening, my answer to the Committee OF the
seventh Ward American Council II was print
81 without nv consent or knowledge You re-
CeiSed IL. / understand, from a friend OF mime to
whom had given il for perusai. He did 1t for
the best. however, and am content
regret that, since il was published, II was in
correctly SET up. In the following sentences two
rrTors were made, which / would thank YOU to
EePublish, as have corrected them.
And have reason to believe that the present
Saiicpal Administration will neither do nor per-
Init auy act tending to overawe or influence the
lions. H. as / believe, Mr.. Buchanan has resolved
such line Of policy, the necessity for partizan
organizations no longer exists. We can return to
che state Of peace and good will which formerly
rendered our annual elections psriods Of good ma
tuTed differences of opinion amongst peighbOrs."
Il would rheerfully make any personal sacri.
ice for the purpose Of restoring such a tone Of
public sentiment. In all reactionary enterprises
some hazard must be run, and J should not feel
the slightest regret at my individual defeat, II it
ing harmony amongst neighbors-"
Very respectfully yours,

The CANAL AND SEWERS QrEsTIox.-Mr.
Editor As you invite discussion In regard to the
in Improvement Of your canal and desire all the ex-
patience you can obtain on the subject, propose
the following plan as a simple and economical
remedy:
Build a substantial stone wall, say twenty feet,
more or less, south Of the present north wall of
the canal basin, forming large receiving sewer
Into which all the small sewers OF the city would
discharge, through this large sewer cause the
water Of Tiber creek TO flow to the Potomac river
receiving as il passes, the entire drainage Of the
city. This large sewer may be covered with
strong plank or arched with brick giving an in
crease Of wharf room. The canal would be
beautiful, clean basin, and require dredging or
expense after removing the present deposit Of
mud and would be wide enough for every Pur-
pose OF commerce
The above work should belong to the water
works now in progress OF construction by the
Government The waste water from fountains
hydrants, and cleaning Of cutters, increasing the
current through the sewer. Yours, &c, II.
Note.-Our correspondent suggests no plan by
which high tides could be prevented lin case his
scheme be adopted, from flooding the open canal
with sedimsnt from the river; nor Of preventing
the TIDE from keeping the covered sewer channel
half full Of sewer Nth, 1t being lat bottom) below
the level Of the lowest tides.-ED.
