The SOUTHERN LIABILITIEs.-At a meeting of the
New York Chamber of Commerce on Thursday the
committee appointed recently to petition the Presi-
dent to exact from the Southern States payments of
they of the opinion the nterpostion by the Gov
eminent was not required. the States in question
seemed to be willing to pay their lawful debts with
out coercion. The committee add:
mo one of the States lately in rebellion has shown
any disposition to repudiate their liabilities incurred
prior to the war. On the contrary most of them
have already acknowledged that liability, and many
of them have also been engaged in devising ways
and means for paying off the accumulated interest,
and providing for the future payment of interest and
principal"
The conduct of the individual citizens of the
Southern States is also referred to by the committee
as highly honorable. Few. if any of them. have
failed to acknowledge their obligations, or to pro-
vide for the future payment of such po rton of them
as their reduced assets will allow.

THE CAEAL.-It is to be hoped that
some good may comeof the discussion
on Monday night relative to water
works and the canal. That the canal
is great nuisance is apparent to all,
and it has only been tolerated because
Of the manufacturing interests of the
city. AS means of supplying water
for purposes in case of fire, it is of
ne value at all. That the city of
Evansville is financially in as good
condition to assist in the enterprise Of
building water works as any city in
p the West, is true. All the bonds
necessary for such work could be
sold to home men, and nearly at par.
His Honor, Mayor Baker, stated
thatssz5, 900 would be sufficient sum
for the organization of the Company

doubt. surely the work should be
done at once.

Mr.. Ingle stated that His. Honor,

he would make his plans known.
Mr.. Baker proceeded to read a
legislative enactment, giving to cities
mower to organize companies for the
purpose of constructing water works,
and defining the method of procedure.
He said the city needed water works,
but it was not the duty of the city, in
corporate capacity, to build these
works, or to have control of them in
any sense, only as a stakeholder; that
an Incorporated company should do
the work W
Mr.. Tngle repeated That Mr.. Baker
