and represents, that on the 3rd day Of May, 49,
AZ, she was lawfully married to John McKibbin,
at said Alburgh, by the Rev. j. L. ChambeIlin,

that after her said marriage she continued To
live with the said John McKibbin, in the strict
observance of all the duties required by the mar
rage contract, until the year 1868, when the
said John began to treat her with intolerable
severity, by whipping and beating her, and by
kicking her and turning her out of his house,
and by other acts of gross abuse, all of which he
repeated from time to time, until she was oblig-
cd, in order to secure herself from personal in
jury aud insult, TO quit his house and provide for
her own support by her own industry and the
assistance of her friends. And the said Sarah
furthermore complains, that since she was COM
PEELED to leave the said John as aforesaid, he
has refused 10 contribute an, thing towards her
support although he had and has sufficient
means aud Is of sufficient ability TO do so.

The Hon. James Brooks finds the Consti-
tutional State Convention at Albany too slow,
and too dull, and too rustic and rusty for a
statesman of his calibrc. So he is going to
abandon the humdrum debates of the Convcn-
ton and the monotonous city of Albany for
the debates of Congress and the social excite
ments and enjoyments of Washington. We are
sorry for ii. For several years past, of and
on, Mr.. Brooks has only been, with other
democratic members of the same school, the
reserved balance OF power welded in Congress
by "Old Thad Stevens" az linst the conserva-
tive republicans. Thus, whenever "Old Thad"
has been crowded into corner with his radical
schemes of reconstruction, Mr.. Brooks and his
democratic bushwhackers have helped him
out, and thus far more stringent terms of re-
storation have been fixed upon the South
than could otherwise have been obtained
With such facts before us, and apprehensive
that Mr. Brooks intends to play the same game
over again IN Congress, we are sorry that he
has decided to abandon our State Convention,
where he can do no harm, for Washington,
where he will do no good.

There is a question connected with the water
supply of the metropolis which requires atten-
ton. The volume Of water which we get from
the Croton river is limited. and even now is
beginning to fall short Of the necessities Of our
population. We cannot increase the supply
from this source, and in few years the
demand will far exceed our present means
Of meeting it. In another quarter of century
our population will more than double its
present numbers, and we shall then have to
bring water from o considerable distance. In the
meantime, there are several expediens by
which the supply can be made to suffice our
wants. A great part Of the present consump-
ton. IL is notorious, is due TO waste. In every
dwelling more water Is thus lost than would
supply the actual wants Of Its inmates To do
away with this and increase the volume of
water we would recommend, first, the adop-
ton Of the water meter. and, secondly, the
erection Of four large reservoirs-one on each
side of the High Bridge, one on the East
river, up town, and another on the Battery.
The meter would put an end to the extrava-
CANT use Of the Croton, and the reservoirs
on the North river could be supplied by water
from Lake Mahopac and the small intervening
lakes between that and Madam Jumel's
place. This, being one Of the highest
points on the Island. would make . splsns

Extension Of Church street.

The Board OF Councilmcn have repealed tho
resolution, approved December 81, 1864, to
extend Church street. The Corporation Coun-
sci has been directed to take such immediate
action as will efec!ually discontinue all pro-
ceedings, in court or elsewhere, in the matter
Of the projected extension, which the Council
men regard as Oppressive to the taxpayers
and not promotive Of the public interest"
Well, this decision Of the Councilmen is con-
sistent with that which opposed and prevented
the extension Of Ann street. The public
regarded it as advantageous, and, indeed, ne
cessary, by way of relief to the chokel condi.
ton Of the streets in the lower part of the city,
The residents In Brooklyn and on Long Island
and on Staten Island feel the necessity for some
relief Of this kind--for increased facilities for
ingress and egtess whenever they visit or leave
New York. But what matters this TO the Coun-
cilmens Perhaps, on the whole, 1t would be
advisable to suspend all city improvements.
Dsarreeable conflicts between the taxpayers,
with their wishes, and the city spoilsmen, with
their little games, might thus be altogether
avoided. The latter would be spared the
bother Of having to resort to petty subterfuges
under the pre,ext Of economy and retrench-
ment, in order TO thwart the interests of the
former and promote their own. They would
have full swing and would be relieved from
annoying responsibility. Aldermen and Coun.
cilmen alike could distribute The funds Of the

Tho South Fine Field for Northern Capt.
talists.
There never was a finer opportunity for
Northern capitalists TO invest their money than
the South affords just now. Through the inn
poverished condition of that part Of the country
and lack of means to cultivate, nearly all the
farm or plantation lands there can be pur-
chased for much less than their value, in many
cases for third or fourth Of their value. 1t is
the same with other kinds Of property. For
instance, one of the famous sulphur springs Of
Virginia, which was worth before the war two
hundred thousand dollars, can now be pur-
chased for fifty thousand. Why do not our
capitalists, instead of stockjobbing and using
their money for all sorts of kite-fyng specula-
tons, invest in Southern property They
would make much more by it in the course Of
a few years; and that would be the right way
to reconstruct the South-the sort of recon-
s.ruction the Southerners most need.

A Warning to Insurance Compaaic. aud tn
the Public.


Both insurance companies and the public
must have found q warning in telegram
which we published yesterday, announcing
that an investigation in the case of the steamer
F. W. Brooks, recently robbed and set on fire
at st. Louis, has disclosed the fact that the
owners and captain had conspired to rob and
burn her for the purpose Of defrauding the
insurance companies. 1t is greatly to be
feared that competition has tempted agents of
insurance companies to wink at fraudulent
representations in order to secure for them
selves the highest possible per centage, and
has led insurance companies to exercise too
little caution in taking risks. The public can
not look upon steamboat travel with much
favor II the usual accidents by fire and food
are to be thus indefinitely multiplied through
culpable carelesness on the part of insurance
companies, and through deliberate guilt on the
part of steamboat owners and captains.

Earl Russell ON the Stool Of Repentance.
Our special telegram from London, pub
lishcd in Yesterdays HERALD, gave a full
account Of the breakfast on Saturday at St
James Hall in honor of William Lloyd CARR
son. At this breakfast four hundred persons,
ladies and gentlemen, were present, including
the Duke of Argyle, Earl Russell, John Bright,
and other notabilites. John Bright occupied
the chair, while little Earl Russell stood on the
stool of repentance and frankly avowed his
former errors committed at the outbreak of the
war in America. From some of them he said
he had been converted by Mr.. Adams, the
United States Minister at London, who, by the
by, was absent on this occasion, perhaps
because he feared some mysterious McCracken
might be among the guests and report him to
Mr.. Seward and President johnson. From the
res: OF his errors he had been converted by the
unexpected results of the war, like so many
other Europeans of high and low degree, from
monarchs and statesmen to blockade runners.
No doubt the Emperor Napoleon and Mr.. Sill
dell's son-in-law, the Paris banker, as well as
Mr.. Spence, Mr. Laird, all the foreign bond
holders in general and the cotton firm of
Frazer, Trenholm & Co., in particular, are now
as thoroughly convinced as Earl Russell of the
"errors' which grew out of their cardinal
error that the first gun fred at Fort Sumter
by crazy old Edmund Rufin sounded the knell
of the great American republic. At Mr.. Gar
rison's breakfast Earl Russell did not attempt
TO- explain his inconsistency in first thinking
50 tina. the United States ought to free the negro
slaves at once" and in then doing all In his
power to favor the establishment of the
Southern confederacy, the very corner stone Of
which was the perpetuation Of slavery.
