A NuIsANcE.-The drainage from the
Jail pump which is permitted to flood the
sidewalk for the want of proper trunk
Several attempts by former Commissioners
have, heretofore been made, but all were
botches, to carry the waste water under the
pavement. 1t strikes us very forcibly if a
trunk sufficiently large was laid under the
side, walk, with an iron crate to cover the
upper end, that the evil would be perma
nently remedied at once. Suppose our town
Commissioners try it.

Tho New York Tribune of Thursday
says 80 The Republican ratification meet
ing last night, at cooper Institute was large,
enthusiastic and most promising of good re.
suits. The spirit OF the people was all that
could be desired, aud only needs to be kept
up until the evening Of election day TO Sc
cure the Empire State, against the uncnvia-
bic position Of PENNSYLVANIA. We need no
better evidence than this magnificent cam,
paign gathering that the Republican spirit in
New York State is wide awake, and in no
degree discouraged by the events of Octo
her.
