II is stated that Mr. Bowen's expected letter
OF acceptance OF his nomination will deprecate
the introduction of personalities into the pres
ent contest He is no doubt heartily ashamed
of the thing by this time, and is aware OF the
odium resting upon him in consequence of the
by his strikers OF this style of slop-cart
blaekguardRm.
BY the way, there is considerable inquiry
when his letter of acceptance is to appear
There seems to be no doubt, however, that he
will accept.

The Bowen ring, a. last desperate resort to
avert defeat, are trying to get Democratic
candidate in the field, hoping TO divert enough
Conservative votes from the Reform RepubIi-
can candidate to elect Mr.. Bowen. They have
enlisted IN their plot the Washington correspon-
Gent OF Baltimore Democratic paper, and a
seedy dead-beat, who used to splurge at the
meetings Of the old Dem. Jack. Association, and
who seems to be aching for more notOriety and
Whiskey money. The trick is, however, readily
eompTehended By the Conservatives aud the
worthy couple do not receive the slightest coun-
teuance.

TIRE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACg.-The
New Workers are greatly elated over the victory
won yesterday in English waters over the crack
English yacht Cambria by the American yacht
Sappho, owned by Mr.. William Douglass OF
New York The race was over a route chosen
by the yanquished party, a distance of sixty
miles of the Isle of Wight, in waters thoroughly
familiar to the officers and pilots OF the Cam
bria, and strange to the Americans. In july
young Jim Bennett, of the New York Herald, will
race his yacht with the Britishers.

Why the CoIored Men Oppose MI.

II i noticeable, as a peculiar feature Of this
municipal contest, that the warmest, most out
sl.Oken opposition TO the Bowen administration
comes frsm the colored men. This detection il
shown by thousands at the various ward meet
ings- At the Seventh Ward meeting the pro-
portions of Bowen and anti-Bowen colored
voters stood IS TO $50; in the First Ward the
Bowen colored vote is in about the same infini-
tesimal proportion. And in all the wards, where
there is any considerable colored vote, the same
state OF things exists. The Boys in Blue, mainly
oolored, last ight voted in a body to repudiate
Bowen, andsupport the candidate of the Reform
Republicans, Mr. Emery; and it Is fact beyond
dispute that the best and most effective speaking
on either side has been BY colored men like Hat
ton and Henry johnson, in open denunciation
OF the Bowen rule.
The great mistake of the Bowen ring has been
in undertaking the intelligence and self-respect
OF the colored people. Nothing could be more
contemptuous and insulting to the colored men
than the theory openly avowed and acted upon
by the Bowen party that they (the colored peo-
pleD are 50 much merchantable voting material
to be treated with supercilious neglect for eleven
months Of the year, and then bought by the
drove by few days work at gutter-cleaning
just before the June election. The colored citi-
zens feel keenly this insulting estimate of their
morals and self-respect. They realize that their
interests are Identical with those of the business
men of Washington, and that their permanent
prosperity must depend upon that OF the city in
which they live. They are, therefore, not dis
posed to be placed in the attitude Of having any
responsibility fer the enormous waste of corpo-
ration funds involved in the dirt-pie, gutter
cleaning, vote-buying business, by which an
amount Of money that would keep large num-
Der of industrious lsborers employed through
the entire year is squsndered in few DAYS on
few lazy idle persons, and fresh burdens are
thrown upon the taxpayers without particle
OF return.
The cOlored men aspire to something better
than election jobs of gutter-cleaning, and they
are intelligent enough TO appreciate that if the
same money so shamefully wasted by the Bowen
ring during its career had been expended in
carrying on great permanent improvements
In building up manufactures, improving our
navigation and our railroad facilities, &C.,
&c, they would be afforded steady and honora-
bic employment, and the Opportunity to enter
upon a useful and hopeful career. The Bowen
policy is 10 keep them living from hand to
mouth. so as to be always hungry, and always
available as voting material. But they now
have their eyes fully open, and have entered in
earnest upon the reform movement that is to
sweep out the City Hall ring in June next.

SCHOOL CHILDREN CRY FOR WATER
Perhaps there is nothing more conducive
to good health and safe preventative of
disease, than the use of pure, good wa
ter We are led to these reflections from
q knowledge of what our children, that
attend the High School in this city, are
forced to use to quench thirst this warm
weather The water the children at this
school have to drink, through the long
school session, is dipped out Of a warm,
filthy sprmg--so warm that it is almost
nauseating to the taste. 1t needs no ar
gument to convince any one that this
should not be, and all will admit that it is
a burning shame and disgrace for this
thing so to be,-more particularly so,for
time and again have the attention of the
School Committee been called to this
matter. They arc aware that the water,
they provide, or all that the scholar can
get without going n long distance, is of
the character we have described, and they
further know, that they would not auow
n child of theirs at home to drink such
water as they at school are forced to do.
We speak thus plainly on this subject,
for the committee have children as well
as others that are deeply interested in
this matter. There are yet, two long
months before school closes, and will
our School Committee give listening
ear to the cry Of these children for good,
fresh water We trust they willard
right speedily too.
