Too MUoH FOR THE CRoToN 33AgD One
of our fellow citizens complains that the Croton
water supplied to his family and his tenement
houses sis filed with tadpoles and animalcule
of all sizes and kinds" We submit, however,
that while the tadpoles of large size might be
strained off, there is no remedy for the animal
cule but in constant supply of fresh water to
the Croton reservoirs; and this supply cannot
be furnished by the Croton Board until the
returning rains shall have replenished the
nearly exhausted fountains from which the
Croton aqueduct is supplied. As it is, our
Croton feeders have so well held their own
against the long drought that New York city
may be regarded as very fortunate in its con-
tinued supply of Croton water, notwithstand-
ing the tadpoles and the animalcule. What
we want to purify this water is rain, and for
this we must look to higher power than the
Croton Board.

A SORE APPLETON FOR TAMMANY is the
terrible threat of the "Reap democracy that
no candidate who accepts a nomination from
the old democratic mother, Tammany Hall,
shall receive nomination from the 1edglings
who had only three votes in the Legislature at
Albany and not vote at all at the Rochester
Convention. There was once donkey, we
are told, who terrified great many animals
by putting on lions skin and assuming the
dignity and fierceness of the lord of the forest ;
but the poor fellow grew so proud that he
could not restrain himself from uttering q
vocal pronunciamento, when, no sooner did he
open his mouth than the bray of the jackass
betrayed the absence Of the lion, and those
who feared before now laughed. Esop's
moral requires no glossary.

OUR APPROACHING Observation-Disclosures
TAoTIos.-As the campaign advances the
energy displayed on the republican side in the
present contest serves to show how deeply the
republican leaders regard the struggle. The
Saratoga Convention showed very plainly that
harmony was lacking throughout the rank and
file of the party. In order, therefore, TO coin
teract the bad influence of such state of
affairs it became the determination of the
leaders to restore such degree of harmony as
would secure efficient working. This, in fact,
may be regarded as the keynote Of the present
republican campaign. With this object in
view few or no changes have been made in the
government Offices in this city. Since Mr..
Murphy has been appointed Collector he has
evidently worked towards the securing of that
end, believing, no doubt, that harmony among
the factions of the republican family is the best
way to secure political triumphs. Conkling,
Fenton, Cornell and the other leading spirits
are firm believers in the harmonizing policy,
and on this line of action will the approaching
republican campaign be carried out

ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE RAIL-
RoAD.-This time it was circus train which
was run into by the regular express train at
Turner's station; one man, the director of the
circus, being killed and the other members so
badly injured that the show will probably not
exhibit for long time. Meanwhile the
Grand Opera House, sort of rival establish
ment, progresses successfully under the i'm
mediate management of the Erie Board, safe
from any collision, except those between
managers and directors, which will sometimes
occur in the best regulated establishments.

night over fresh complications connected with
the war between France and Prussia, but the
details were unknown in Wall street beyond
the effect upon the Royal Stock Exchange,
where consols suddenly fell from 92S to 91s.
Curiously enough, however, our dve-twenties
in London were firm and yielded only an
eighth per cent in the midst of this excitement.

SIR HENRY BuLwER's OPINION. Sir Henry
Bulwer, looking at the present aspects of the
war in France, says :-"If, standing in view
of an Unreasonable calamity which threatens
to ai1lict the world, we are wrapped up in an
Interchangeable resolve to remain motioness,
then / cannot refrain from expressing most
mournful apprehension that the day is not far
distant when God will withdraw from us a
power which we have not known how to use
worthily, and that policy so cowardly will
be fatal to our future greatness, our national
character and our national interests" This
means that if England persists in her present
narrow and selfish policy Of mastery mac
tivity," doing nothing for the cause Of peace
at this crisis, she will live to repent her folly
and Sir Henry no doubt speaks the popular
opinion of England.

Tho Military Situation In Franco-The Fall
of strasbours and the Raid Through the
South.
The surrender of Strasbourg is essentially
the most important success which the Prus-
SLAMS have achieved since Sedan. The pos
session of the city gives them the whole line
of railway from Strasbourg to Paris, thereby
shortening their line of communication greatly
and rendering it more secure. In addition it
releases the large army under Won Werder,
which has been operating against the city,
and which is now free to operate with the
armies at Metz or Paris If needed. ~
The late desperate attempts Of Bazaine to
escape from Metz are reported somewhat in
detail by our special correspondent in his
camp. The attack on the 23d was made
against the right Of the Prussian line, and
was a severe one, the Prussians being saved
from defeat only by the arrival of heavy rein
forcements from another part of their line.
The next day another vigorous attack was
made on the left with the same effect, the
French in both instances being compelled to
return to the protection Of their fortress.
The movement of Prussians south appears
to be grand raid Of cavalry, accompanied by
batteries of flying artillery, and is under COM
mand of Prince Albert. Orleans has been
captured, but the troops do not seem to have
made any preparations for holding the city,
being evidently unsupplied with infantry
enough to make formidable garrison. The
movement may be compared with Grierson's
raid through Tennessee and Mississippi in
1862, Stonemans raid into the neighborhood
of Richmond, or John Morgans raid through
Indiana and Ohio. In the case of the Prus-
sian cavalry, however, the force is larger, the
country more productive, the opposing forces
less formidable and the distances not 80 great.
There seems to be nobody to oppose their
advance except few panic-stricken gardes,
who fly before them at the first fire. They
have carried such CONSERVATION into the gov
eminent at Tours and the country people that
all are fleeing southwark, the government
crying loudly for the organization of the whole
population of France to repel the invaders.
The government, it is thought will assemble
at Poitiers, point about sixty miles south of
Tours, where they will have close communi-
cation with the seaboard at Bordeaux and
Rochelle

A STUPENDoUs JoB-The authorities of the
British War Office, it is reported, are in con-
sultation with the Board of Works for the COM
plete fertilization of London. If this is true
the same idea, doubtless, is at the bottom of
the enterprise that led Louis Philippe to the
building of the Notifications of Paris and
Louis Napoleon to his bouevards the
idea of protecting the city against the inside
revolutionary reds. We apprehend that the
late republican demonstrations in London have
oiyen more alarm to the British government
han the investment OF Paris by the Germans.

Tho ObssauIes Of Admiral Rsrrasus.
The final obsequies Of the great naval hero
OF our civil war will take place In this city on
Friday. An imposing ceremonial will be pre-
scented. The First and Second divisions of the
National Guard will turn out, the great mill
tary and naval officers at present In the city,
the Governor and his staff, great masses Of
citizens and the President of the United
States, will appear in the procession to
do honor to the memory Of our great COM
mander. Altogether the obsequiss will be
fitting expression of the profound respect with
which all classes in the great metropolis re-
garded him and his glorious record.
Thereis general sentiment abroad adverse
to grand and snowy funerals. Dickens, 1t will
be remembered, expressly stated In his will
that he wanted no gaudy display Of gloom, no
lugubrious grandeur of mourning at his funeral.
He looked upon it all as heartless and cold.
Yet who will say that there would have been
one heart following the wake of his hearse
mistaken with sorrow at the great preachers
death He was wrong for once, at least.
When truly great man des-a great and
good man-who has exercised Wholesale
charity by his great actions, grand ceremonials
in his honor at the last are not empty shows.
The great illustrator of human nature misun-
derstood that one phase of it, The multitudes,
who never personally knew the man, can and
do mourn with as heartfelt sorrow at the death
of Farragut or Dickens as his own immediate
friends. They have right, then, to attend
his funeral-to pay in person the last respect
they can pay to his memory.
Such will be the cause of the outpouring to-
morrow. The grand war record which the old
Admiral left behind him-forts Philip, jack
son, Mobile and the masthead-are all SO
closely interlaced with his peace record of
simple faith, pure honesty, strict integrity,
hearty zeal and uniform good nature-so
touchingly intertwined with sad story we
have all heard of his country's neglect-that
no American, whatever his political COM
plexion, now or during the war, can fail to
feel a deep personal sorrow at the great Adj
miral's death.
