The Trial Of the Insurgents,

The preliminary trial of old Brown Stevens, and
Coppic white men, and Of Shields Green. and Cop
land cOlored, was commenced at Charestown, the
County seat of Jefferson, Va, distant about eight
miles from llarper's Ferry on Tuesday last The
trial is conducted by justices of he ?eace They
may acquit, but cannot condemn, but must send the
accused for trial before the Circuit Court.
The prisoners have employed Mr.. Chase, of Ohio,
to defend them An able Virginia lawyer had been
assigned them for their defence by the Court, but
they preferred black Republican Chase. The En-
qmirer appeals to the people to treat Mr.. Chase
spectfully, and to give HIM fair and full hearing
before the Court.
The Washington Constitution of the 25th pub
lishcs authentic documents in the shape of letters
from John Smith alas John Brown and others, which
show widespread arrangements for the outbreak at
Harpers Ferry, and implicate Joshua r. Giddings
in the conspiracy.
Mr.. Senator Mason, of Virginia, publishes letter
in the same number of the Constitutions in which
among other things he states that mot slave es-
capped or attempted to escape during the tumult-
Of the few carried off by Cook across the river, all
escaped from him and came safely back but one
who, it appears, was drowned while crossing the
river homeward bound"
If at all possible, we sincerely trust that Giddngs
and Gefritt Smith may be reached and dealt with
But we Do not well see how they can be reached by
prpclss of law. And then, if given up by the au-
thprites o. the States in which they may be found
would not the abolitionists muster in such num-
brs as to obstruct and hinder the course of Justice

muAicipal limits, The roads all pay.
The dividends 81 Gar have been ten per
cont The Eth and Sixth street line
sells for $50 on $50 par, whilst, that of the
Second and Third street line has sold at
S4l, for $l5 paid in. The roads in the
city of New York are even more produc-
tive. This is not a very bad show fCrthe
stockholders-the first party in interest
ard there is little reason to doubt that, 80
far as they are concerned, there will be n
willingness to keep the roads in operation.
As regards the public at large-the se-
cond party in interest---it appears to feel
itself exceedingly well accommodated; ;
and, such being the case, will not be very
likely to petition to have the tracks de-
stroyedf The third party in interest is
the overs of property along lines existing
or proposed. These generally oppose the
thing until it is done, and then discover
that they have made themselves ridicu-
lous. Upon this point Mr. STRICKLAND
KNEAsS, Chief Engineer of Philadelphia,
in a recent letter, gives his experience on
the building of the first lines in that city
as follows: ..E
"During the construction, the feeling
against us ran very high, and abuse upon
abuse was heaped upon us; all sorts OF
applications to courts were made TO re-
strain us; but fortunately without success.
4 A weeks run worked won
ders. Contrary to their expectations, or
at least assertions, property did not de-
preciate travel in ordinary vehicles was
not tincommoded, much less impeded; the
privileges and rights of residents upon the
line were not infringed, while the whole
community was rushing to Fifth and Sixth
streets, to enjoy the comfort of ride in
the comparatively noiseless and very com.
modious, easy and rapidly-moving cars.
Their sur eriority over the omnibus was
selfevident; and no croaking was heard
but very often willing and graceful &C
knowledgment that, though their opposi
ton was honest, yet they were mistaken
and were now eager to see the system
generally introduced"

Sale of the Water Works.

Mr. EDIToR OF THE PRESS Are you
seriously advocating the sale of the Water
Works? Yours, C. S..
Seriously, we are presenting the sub
ject of sale Of the Water Works as one
proper to be taken into consideration by
the people of the city, and upon which it
should be allowable to entertain all sorts
of opinions and present all sorts of arga-
ments for or against The truth of the
following propositions, touching present
condition and past experience, can not, We
suspect, be denied; 80" Eoa.a 1000. .
!. That--aside from paying full price
for all the water that is used-the Water
Works are an unceasing cause of expense.
2. That they do not, never have, and
exhibit no symptoms of being able to sup
ply to the people of the city that which is
matter of the first necessity--pure and
wholesome water. yuH, sy..r. .t
We sincerely believe that without this
constantly accumulating debt to the city,
and without any increase upon the rates
to the people, they may be better served
than they are at present, and yet the
works yield handsome revenue to the
proprietors. We see no objection to the
pumping and delivery of water by pri.
vate company that does not equally apply
to the manufacture and supply of gas
and yet, what prudent man would desire
to have the Gas Works purchased and
carried on as public institution The
city of London is furnished with water
from the Thames, by private companies
and there is, so far as we can see, no rea
son why plan that is practicable there
may not be sol here. sa. ,-... .,..
There is, undoubtedly, capital in thi
city, which its proprietors would be glat
to invest in the purchase, at fair valua
ton, of the Water Works as they are
employing, at the same time, the abilit
to carry them, in respect to service, to
degree of perfection which, as yet, the,
have never attained.

CITY Railways.

There is n sort of people who are of so
conservative character that nothing but
the fact that thing is new, is necessary
to array them in opposition to it; and it
is little surprising that in this city,
whose growth has been so rapid and whose
material progress so remarkable, we have
an unusual quantity of those who are
not merely ready to pronounce against
every novelty, but to oppose its introduc-
ton with all the force of inveterate preiu-
dice In many respects, in the general
business arrangements ofthe city, and in
efforts to render available new and i'm
proved processes for the saving of time
and expense, there is backwardness
which, to men coming from other sections,
is noticeable, and which goes good way
to negative those pretenses to superior
sharpness and vigor that are not unfe-
quently set up on the part of our fellow
citizens. ..f- WrT .r..a.
In the matter of Street Railways
things that in the other cities of the
larger cl,,ss have become an established
institution--there is an opposition here,
not merely by the owners of property on
particular streets, to the extension of
lines along the same but to the introduc-
ton of the plan into any part Of the city.
People want no such new-fangled contri-
vance to disturb the established current
of ideas, change the lines of travel, break
up the omnibus routes, endanger the in
tegrity of the pagements, or the equa,
nimity of the equine population, to set
wives to gadding, or run over all the
children within a very long distance Of
the dangerous machine. As for those
streets through which the lines may be
made to pass, there is no doubt that, if the
land itself should be prevailed upon moi
| to take to its heels and abscond, there
| would be an instantaneous desertiOn of il
by the people, and consequent total de
struction of its value. Who could con
sent to do business on street-much less
reside-along which, every few minutes
would pass an ominous-looking car, pro
PEELED by pair of chargers, of an aspect
at once melancholy and mysterious2 No
body, of course.
Are we in favor of street railways
What if we are? What if we are not
Will that make them-bring them here
render any more certain their introduc
| ton? A street railway is a fact-not al
opinion that one may subscribe to or op
pose We are in favor of their continu
ance in the city Of New York, forthe rea
son tha5 they most obviously contribut,
to the convenience and comfort of citizen
and soiourners. We are in favor of thei
continuance in Boston and Philadelphia
for reasons precisely similar. And while
in respect to this city, we are neither il
favor or against any particular route, W
are fully CONVINCED that the thing, whicl
is fixed fact in every other city Of th,
size Of OWFoin ther Union, will at lepgtl
become SO here. Thick as is the shell Q
