Waste Water.-From the vast amount Of
waste water continually flowing from many
of the city hydrants, one would suppose that
the city had an abundance for all her CUSTOM
ers and to spare, when the fact is, that the
dry as powder horns. The Watering Commit
tee, some months since, in order to prevent an
unnecessary waste of water, appointed an Of
ficer to look after the hydrants, but from some
cause or other the waste continues unabated.
Yesterday four water takers were rep orted to
the Mayor, by the special officer, for permit
ting waste of water from their hydran ts;
but when called to the book he could fix the
neglect on neither of the parties. and of course
no fine could be imposed. IF the city fiads it
necessary to employ an officer to look after the
hydrants, he must keep a constant watch upon
them and trace out the violators of the ordi-
nance, otherwise his salary will be expended
to no practical purpose.

LOCAL MATTEHa.

The Mayors Co.yf-room. yesterday morning,
was filled with idle spectators, many Of whom
were mere lads. apparently assembled to see
the show of bipeds who, from intemperxnce
and other causes, had fallen into the hands Of
the law. What there is in a Mayors Court to
attract the idle. we could never tell, unless,
perchance, it was the desire to initiate the bad
example of the unfortunate prisoners, or to
witness how they bore the degradation OF a
prison box. As general thing, the prisoners
In this Court are the very worst type of hu-
mainly. Most of them are drunken outcasts ts,
covered with rags and filth, and entirely lost
TO all honor and shame. Struggling through
the country, without means and without occu-
pations-too lazy to work, and too indolent to
beg, they seek the neighborhood Of poor
house or Jail, wallow in the cutters, and thus
ensure their arrest and imprisonment. What
is there about these creatures to make them
attractive! Is it their bloated faces, blood
shot eyes, carbuncled noses uncombed hair
nlthy flesh and tattered rags! Or is it the de-
sire to become initiated into dissipation and
vice that makes mere lads gather in clusters
in the courtroom, and listen with pricked
ears, open mouths and expanded nostrils, to
the charges agains: the prisoners and their pc
ttioDs for pardon2 Whatever the cause, the
sight must be demoralizing to youth, and it is
to be hoped that in future the Mayor will send
them home to their parents and friends.

THE WANDERER CAsE-A LATE DENIAL
FROM W ENpELL PHILLIPs.-A dispatch from
Boston to the Baltimore Sun, dated Decem-
ber q, says:
The crew of the yacht Wanderer was brought
up for examination this morning, charged with
voluntarily serving on board of said yacht
she being employed in the transportation OF
slaves from some foreign country to, COM
plainant unknown. Nothing particular was
morrow.
Wendell Phillips, in card, denies, unequi-
vocally, any knowledge of Browns Intended
invasion of Virginia. He says he had little
personal acquaintance with Brown. When
ever the subject Of stampeding slaves was
broaehed, he always discouraged and dis
countenanced 1t, and he had not aided Brown
with money or advice.

S. S. CALHooN, Eso.-Dear Sn:-I notice
in your issue of the 9th inst, over the sig
nature of "Yazoo," very complimentary
call upon myself to become candidate in
this Senatorial District.
l thank "Yazoo," and although / am will
ing, for the sake of argument, to admit all
that Yazoo" has said, and the hattering
endorsement of the paper, nevertheless, |
am unwilling to be candidate unless nomi,
mated by the meeting that assemblies in Yazoo
City on the fourth Monday of this month.
l will admit, sir and: am proud of the
irmness, that would be more than happy
to be the Senator from this District, not for
any honors it would confer, but because |
believe that Yazoo county should be heard
through the Senate of the State Of Missis-
sippi, as we'll as the popular branch of the
Legislature, in the crisis that is to come
during the next twelve months.
Should | receive the nomination, what
talent, time and energy have, shall be de-
voted to the canvass of the great interest of
the District, afterwards my State, and, if
necessary, the federal interests, should they
come within the purview Of State Senator.
My platform would be my District--for
just and equitable taxation-then my State,
and then the Federal Union, provided we
can have our rights, and can be respected in
the same. Yours truly,
