The Committee appointed by the CITY
Council to ascertain the aggregate ex-
penses per annnm to supply the city with
water, water, have arrived at their conclusions by
the exhibit OF the Water Works accounts
for the years 1859, 1860 and 1861. The
average expense they find to be $40, 800. In
this amount is included the salary OF the
superintendent of Water Works, together
with all the repairs OF machinery, &c.
which is submitted, shonld be a credit on
the aggregate, lnasmuch as similar ex.

Mr.. Stevens was asked in the House
the other day where he found the
authority to make appropriations for
schools, asylums, and other expenses
upon the freedmen. He replied in
the law of conquest
The law of conquest may give n
right to the money of the conquered,
but we never heard before of its
giving Il right to the money of the
conQuerors.
We have to pay our full share of
these expenses, and, so far as Demo
crats are concerned, perhaps an ap-
plication of the law of conquest to
them may not seem improper to Mr..
Stevens; but, then, Black Repubh-
cans will have to pay too, 80 that the

ton to them as to us. Perhaps those

Mr.. SEWARD ON RESTORATION AND
MEXICO. The correspondent of the
New York He,ttH writes:
A casual conversation to-day be-
tween Secretary Seward anda gentle
man from Virginia may throw some
light on the formers opinions con-
corning reconstruction and Mexico.
Mr.. Seward said he had lately re-
celvcd letter, which had been forty
days on the way, advising him to act
cautiously i'll the French and Mexi-
can imbroglio, because of the strong
probability of recommencement of
hostilitics between the North and
South. The visitor assured Mr..
Seward that, SO far us Virginia was
concerned, he need have no apprc-
tensions, when the Secretary re-
piled, nor SO far rs any part Of the
country is concerned The country
has had enough to last it for a long
time. An intelligent and virtuous
woman who has taken the first step
In life of shame never ceases to de
plore her misfortune; but snn inlo-
lent, ignorant woman will continue
to take many such downward steps
rs long as she lives. Such country
as Mexico may be given over to po-
lltlcal revolution and war, but vir-
tuous, eni. .htcned and exemplary
country lik the United States will
not be likely to repeat such folly very
often.

SUMNER IN HIS GhoRY.-A wash

cit was an amusing sight to see
Sumner enter the Senate this morn
ing, with the two young heirs to
titles, who are now on n visit to the
Capital. Since their arrival, Sum
ner has stuck closer to them than n
brother-closer than n colored bro
ther sticks to the Freedmen's s Bureau.
Such toadvism and fiunkeyism COM
blned is rarely seen, even in Wash
lngton. Down sat the two Young
gentlemen (lnd quiet, nice young
gentlemen they are, on sofa in the
rear of Sumner, while Sumner did
his usual department and then took
his seat. Enter, impressively, Sum
ncr's secretary, and hands book and
dummy letter to Sumner. Sumner
waves the secretary behind him, after
the manner of Podsnap. Visible
sensation on the sofa. Young Eng
llshmen evidently impressed. Sher-
man rises and talks about the rinder-
pest, and the slaughter of whole
hecatombs of oxen in England
Where did you say queries sum
ncr. In Great Britain replies
Sherman. 'Oh, aw.' says the salts
fed Sumner, and then turns with a
Podsnapian glance to the young
Englishmcn, and Il patronizing smile
which seems to say: -scc-my-
young gentlemen that we arc ac-
cnstomed to speak Of Great Britain
in the Senate OF the United States -
though we generally say England or
the English people. You may see
that | wear gaiters' indeed, there is
no telling how much Summers cvi-
dent 'tooling' OF Sherman for dis
play before the young Englishmcn
meant. 1t was evident enough to
cause general litter in the galleries,
which broke into broad smile when
Sumner followed Sherman in a small
speech on the rindcrpest
