A CORRESPONDENT of the Cleveland ITer-
aid, writing from Scotland, gives this ac-
count of a successful undertaking to sup
ply the city of Glasgow with pure water
from Loeb Katrine, which rivals the great
Croton water works of New York, or those
of Chicago: ,.... ..-
In the vicinity of Glasgow are the cele-
brated lochs or lakes, Lomond and Katrine.
The white top of Ben Lomond is visible
from Glasgow. But as am to have a tramp
of scores of miles through the Highlands
over the scenes made immortal by Burns
and Scott and Wordsworth, will only
speak of Loeb Katrine in its relations to
Glasgow. To tunnel under Lake Michigan
two miles was undoubtedly huge en-
terprise for Chicago, but Glasgow
has done equally miraculous things. Loch
Katrine is thirty -four miles north of Glas-
Cow and 800 feet above the level of the sea-
The rugged distance intervening between
it and Glasgow is penetrated by tunnels,
crossed by auueducts and traversed by iron
pipes conveying to the city 50,000,0O0 gal
Ions of pure water daily. There are Sc
ries of seventy tunnels, eight feet in diane
ter, with an aggregate length of thirteen
miles, The whole work was completed in
three and a half years, and the total cost
was nearly eight million dollars. This is
wonderful but not more so than project
now on foot to bring water to the City of
London from the mountain regions Of
Wales. on lll .zr.1I-.

The White Men i'm Hayti.

The revolutionary movements in Hayti
are caused by the fact that President GEF-
FRARD is mulatto-the majority of the
Haytians being blacks. The feeling be-
tween the two races is bitter and hard to be
repressed. i- ..r-... -t-
In that country whites cannot, under
the Constitution, exercise any political
right whatever, and the feeling is fast ex-
tending to all accused of having the blood
of the white man in his veins.
Would it not be well for Senator WILSON
and Representative KELLY to take a trip to
that negro Paradise to convince the Revo-
lutionists that some men with white skins
have as black hearts as any negro could
wish, and offer themselves as living in
stances of the truth of their declarations.

Dea1h of Jenkins, of 1Ile - Pretty
Waiting (SirI'' Affair."

The death of Henry B. Jenkins, whose
name will be well remembered in the city
as connected with a bank defalcation in
1865, brought about through the wiles of a
"pretty waiter girl" is an incident which,
taken in connection with its circumstances,
ought to compel inquiry as to the way in
which prisoners are dealt with, in the
Toombs and such like places, while under
conviction or waiting trial. The unfor-
tunate man was virtually subjected to
capital punishment for an Offense, which,
at the worst, called for punishment of a
far less serious nature. ..r... ....
We are informed that during his long i'm
prisOnment of nearly two years in the
Toombs, he was confined in cell where he
was not only exposed to the wintry frosts
and blasts, but suffered from a variety of
miseries which no human constitution
could endure, and certainly not such q
constitution as his. Nightly tortured and
almost devoured by rats, not to speak of
lesser vermine; with scanty covering, and a
denial of such common comforts as he re-
quired, he began to sink with nervousness
and exhaustion some months ago. and final
ly prostrated by the disease from which he
died on Saturday last. His illness was di-
rectly traceable to his sufferngs in the
Toombs, and that though his cell, we un-
derstand, was one of 1.-The best'' in the place
jenkins, though guilty of a bad offense, and
led astray by a weakness not uncommon to
humanity, was man of great good sense
and very superior intellect. He bore his
long imprisonment with fortitude, and al
ways expressed the hope that he would live
to atone for his errors by making good his
defalcations. 0.l..

The Democracy of Licking In
COmnciI.

In accordance with usage, the Democracy
Licking county held their annual meet
lg to prepare for the Fall Campaign, on
,aturday, the 1lth instant, and organized
ny calling G. ATHERToN, Esq, to preside,
nd appointing w. D. MORGAN, of the Ad-
ocate, Secretary.
Mr.. ODELL, from the committee on Reso-
,utions, reported the following admirable
Dnes, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolued,. That we indorse the platform
adopted by the Democratic state Conven-
tion at Columbus, Ohio, on the eighth day
of January, 1867, and in addition thereto we
do further declare: r. ,......- ,..
L. That the attempt by the Congress of
the United States to force upon the people
of the Southern States Negro Suffrage, by
means of the Reconstruction bill, is an
usurpation of power unparalleled in the his
tory of republican governments, flagrant
violation of the Federal Constitution, and
which, if carried ont, will result in the
overthrow of republican institutions, and
the erection of military despotism, in the
presence of which the liberties of the peo-
pie cannot survive. 60. ..;r
2. That we are unalterably opposed to
the proposed Constitutional Amendment,
by which the elective franchise is; sought
to be taken from thousands OF white men
ana conferred upon negroes. lnaG GllS
government was originally framed By white
men and for white men; that its future
prosperity depends upon the preservation
of those principles which inspired its early
administration, and from which, after so
many years of prosperity, it is unsafe now
to depart; that the universal history of the
negro race stands as a monument to bear
witness to the correctness of Democratic
views upon this subject, and the mainte-
nance of which we pledge ourselves anew,
each to the other and to the world.
3. That in view of the question of negro
suffrage being now submitted to the people
of Ohio, and advocated by the press and
political leaders of the Republican party,
we submit for the consideration of the
members of that party, the following de-
claration from Mr.. Lincoln:
81 am not, nor ever have been, in favor of
making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of
qualifying them to hold office, or intermarry
with white people and l will say, in addi-
tlon to this, that there is a physical differ
enee between the white and black races,
which, l believe, will forever forbid the two
races living together on terms of social and
political equality and inasmuch as they
cannot so live, while they do remain to-
gether, there must be position of superior
and inferior, and L, as much as any other
man, am in favor OF having the superior
position assigned to the white race.n
