THE REMOVAL OF sEwAcE.

The things longest and most obstinatcly over
looked are those that lie directly under ON
feet The vast difference, in conditions of life,
between the scattered houses Of the country and
the compactcd ones of the city exists in such
simple things, that II has always been unap.
prcciatcd. Air almost inevitably supplies itself
without thought for it; light, water, and the 70.
moval Of elcrementa (Which in the country Ma.

utilizes, are attended to adequately only
after long suffering. The completion Of water.

tropolis as London, for years together men
fought against the proposal of purifying the
Thames. II was argued that river was the
natural sewer Of a town, and that no substitute
could be an improvement upon it, and it was
reserved for the present decade to explode this
notion and create u special Metropolitan Board
for the purpose Of draining the city and purify
ing the river. Their work, six months of it
being then finished, was formally inauguratcd in
public service by the Prince of Wales himself
on the 18th of April last. The money and the
engineering skill expended are alike wonderful.
We have already explained that the new plan
is the "intercepting" one, by which all existing
sewers discharge their contents into three
enormous sewers on the north side OF the
river and two on the south, all Of which are
parallel with the Thames and empty at a
point ii miles below London Bridge. There
are now 300 miles Of sewers in the city, and 50
miles of main intercepting sewers; 3ls, 900, 900
bricks, and $4,000 cubic yards Of concrete have
been consumed; and 100000 cubic yards Of
earth have been excavated in the execution of
these main drainage works. The total present
sewage amounts TO 100000 cubic feet per
day; but allowing for the rainfall and the pos
lble Increase, provision is made for g.. 00o. 900

The Union State Convention meets at Trcn-

so later. The following are the names OF those
suggested on either side for Governor:

WHAT IL THE STAKE.

There are in the fifteen late Slave States of
the Union, nearly Twelve Millions of People OF
whom fully half were mislcd or terrified into a
more or less hearty participation IN the Slave
holders Rebellion. About one-third OF the
whole number are Coored; Of this third, not
dozen persons in nj are or have been heartily
disloyal. Add these to the White loyalistS,
aud YOU have a decided loyal majority in those
! fifteen Statcs---a majority which regards
Federal power as their liberator, not their con.
queror, and devou,ly bless God for the triumph
of the National arms.
On the other side stands an active, intelligent,
powerful minority OF -Four To Five Millions,
who accept the Federal Government as their
ltonquerOr and master, and mean Eve arc assured
and do not doubD to return honestly to theiT
allegiance aud abide in il. But they do not
seek to disguise their regret that the contest
terminated as it did--that jefferson Davis /;
mot still their Chief Magistrate, instead Of
Andrew Johnson. They accept the Union q.
the Poles accept tho rule Of Alexander U.--a'
the Hungarans accept that Of Franz Joseph
and hope to find submission TO it less bitter ten
years hence than il now Is.
The former party must regard our National
Debt as summing up the cost Of their and our
deliverance; tho latter esteem it the price OF
their subugation. And they must, within linn.
/ it,, vote to tax and pay accordingly.
! 1t is proposed 50 TO reconstitute the Southern
States that the minority Of their People who
submit to the Union as dire alternative shall
have all power there, while the heartily loyal
Union majority shall have no power at all.
Their Colored people being disfranchised, their
Onion majority becomes practically an impo-
tent minority, and nearly or quite all their
Members of Congress will he men who danced
with JOY over the news from Bull Run. and
mouned the captures of Fort Donelson, New.
Orleans and Vicksburg.
Was there ever before such madness mas
querading as craftsmanship Can it be that
those who are resolved tlat the National Debt
shall be paid TO the last fartling prefer that
the power TO levy, modify, reduce and repeal
taxes shall in fifteen States be monopolized by
those who regard that Debt as the monument
of their high-wrought expectations, their blasted
hopes Of independence Shall the South be
made TO seem a captive chained to the triumphal
cor of the Union, when We know that q ma

We print elsewhere to-day letter from Mr..
Alex. e. Twining, entitled "The Civil Status OF
Parolcd Prisoners" to which we invite attention.
The groundess assumptions embodied in that
letter are mainly these: s...
l. That we have asserted or assumed that
" the power to pardon" pertained to and had
been exercised by Gen. Grant;
2 That there is aught in the obligation taken
by the paroled Rebel soldiers "not to take up
arms against the Government of the United
States until properly exchanged" which quail
fcs the reciprocal stipulation on our side that
those paroled soldiers are "not to be disturbed
by United States authority so long as they Oh.
serve their parole"
g. That what Mr.. L. calls "thc official dccis-
ion Of the Attorney General Of the United
States controverts our position, which is SIM
ply that the paroled persons are "not To he dis
turbed by United States authority SO long Ms
they observe their parole just that, and moth.
ing more. .II
But we have very short method with Mr.
Twining and all hs abettorS. He talks of two
"proficents" who both accept the purely
military character Of Gen. Grants terms of sur
render AS if that were tho point in dispute
Well, Mr.. r.. Il those terms are purely mil
itary," as you insist aud We do not care to dis
putc, then, surely, military men ought to com
prehend their proper force and effect. Now,
then, we defy you to bring forward one single
Major-General now in the Union service--bare-
Is one-who will back the opinion that the pa
rolled Rebels may be arraigned, tried and pun
islied for treason without breach of faith on
the part OF our Government. And We back this
challenge by a confident averment that, if our
Government ever docs SO treat them, Gems.
Grant, Sherman, Candy, and others of our most
illustrious commanders will Immediately resign
their commissions. And this. we believe, some
of them have already decidedly minated.
Would your "profcicnts" wish prosecution
pressed in defiance Of such nlimaton
