The Croton Aqueduct Department.

The bill in relation to the Croton Aqueduct
Department has passed both houses Of the
Legislature and has been sent to the Governor
for his approval As he will certainly sign it,
unless he has already done so, it may be re-
garded as law, and 1t will give very general
satisfaction to the taxpayers and all respect
able residents Of the city. 1t continues the
present Board Of Commissioners Messrs Ste
vens, Darrow and Craven, in Office for five
years from the 1st of January last, and pro-
vides that any vacancies in the Board shall be
filed by the remaining members. 1t settles
the controversy imposed upon the city by the
action Of Mayor Hoffman in endeavoring to
override the law passed by the last Legisla-
ture, and confirms Messrs Stevens and Darrow
I'm their Offices. The Croton Department Is one
of the few city departments that has been
honestly managed, with view to the interests
of the city, and the people will be glad that 1t

desperate efforts TO keep the liberals at bay. On the
22d they made sortc in the direction Of Zelaya for
the purpose Of capturing provision train belonging
the liberals. They were, however, driven back 10
Queretaro after Ave hours Of hard fighting This move
meat would lead TO the belief that the mperaist troops
engaged in this sore sent odt to check Corona's
advance and prevent his junction with Escobedo front
Of Querotaro and that instead Of attacking him in front
fell upon his rear II can hardly DO supposed that
Max's force Is strong enough to allow him to
repeat the mistaken tactics Of Miramon when
he made his flank movement Zacatecas
The beseged have been receiving small bodies Of rein
forcements, and Escobedo Is also having his forces
rapidly increased. Fr9samos forced loans being
levied all the liberal cities to sustain the war; and
stone Is left unturned to finish up with the empire while
its head and tail are almost Gagged in Queretaro.
However must state that Queretaro IN not entirely
surrounded now owing to Escobedos way Of concenra
ing his forces The southeast mountain road is still ler
open to Macmillan, and he can escape through there
with the larger part Of his forces at any moment.
Trade is entirely PROSTATE and everybody awaits the
solution Of this Qusrearo problem which has evidently
become the hardest nut to crack.
On the Sd OF April several Americans arrested at
Bagdad and taken prisoners TO Matamoros. They had

The Vexed Question Of tho Post OMco.
The agitation on the new Post Office site
appears to have subsidized, and we presume that
nobody regrets it. The location which the Com
mon Council were generous enough to tender
to the general government for one-ffth of its
value Is universally regarded as wholly unfit
for the purpose, and even the few sensitive old
gentlemen who were 50 nervous about the
opening of Ann street begin to see that II the
Post Office were built in the City Hall
Park the opening Of Ann street would
become an imperative necessity, arising
from the immense increase OF travel in
that vicinity. For our part we do not care
. straw whether Ann street is widened
or not; but as matter Of public comfort and
on sanitary grounds we seriously object to
putting up pile of buildings on one Of the
We object furthermore, because we do not be-
Heve that the Post Office business could be
carried on there for the convenience Of the
public. fit is necessary to locate 1t In this
neighborhood at all, why not take the Five
Points, and thus remove an evil as well as con-
struct handsome public building on its
site! st. Paul's church or the Astor House, or
Stewards marble block, could be purchased,
and with little modification either of them
might be converted into Post Office at an ex-
pense very small in comparison with the cost
of new building. In fact it should be an OBJ
ject to give us more breathing room in the
City Hall Park, rather than to cucumber 1t
with piles of brick and mortar. 1t would be
great blessing if the few sickly trees there
which breed an annual plague Of worms were
all cut down and one of those fine open plazas,
such as are common in Paris and London and
the cities of Southern Europe and South Ame-
rica, substituted for the abortion Of apark now
existing.

street Booths.

The State Sen..te has, we see, passed the
bin authorizing the erection Of booths and
stands in the streets Of New York and Brook
lyn. The incorporation Of "a soldiefg 6ews-
paper company" is made the pretext for this
most Objectionable measure; but 1t will be
presently seen that its object is to benefit not
the soldier, but few greedy spectators.
The disagreement that the erection of these
shanties will cause to our streets is not to be
compensated for even by benefit to our
invalid veterans. It takes us back to the
time Of the middle ages, when regular mar
kets did not exist and when such distractions
to the public traffic were regarded with indifFer-
ence. We have made inquiries Of persons con-
nected with institutions for the benefit of
wounded soldiers, and find that they know
nothing of the promoters or real objects Of
this bill. We trust, therefore, that when 1t
comes before Governor Fenton for his sigma
ture he will make summary disposition Of It,
