cities where the supply of water is unlimited,
and where it is used for all the personal, Sew.
erage and fire purposes of the city. The
present supply of water In Charleston is abonl
one gallon per day to each individual. The
proposed water tower will be of masonry, and
feet high, giving Its summit an elevation oi
about one hundred and fifty feet above the
high tide level In this harbor, or, for instance,
an elevation about equal to that of the roof of
the lookout of St. MIchaels steeple. This
tower will enclose vertical pipe OF about five
feet in diameter, and there will be two power
full steam pumps with capacity of eight mil
lion gallons per day kept constantly at work,
sustaining column of water to the height OF
this tower, thereby affordng sufficient
"head" to carry the water in pipes to the top
of the highest buildings and for all the pur-
poses of the fire department.. From this point
it Is proposed to bring the water in pipes
across the Neck and to enter the city at Meet
ing street. Pipes will then be laid through
all Of the principal streets, and, In fact,
through all streets In which the number of
buildings will make 1t desirable, and from
these street mains every house In the city can
be supplied.
THE COST TO THE HOUSEHOLDER
of obtaining the supply of water will be, first,
the expense Of making connection with the
street mains, and of putting such pipes through
his house as he may desire, and, secondly, an
annual fee for the use of the water proper
tIonate to the number of water convenlences
In the house. Thus there will be fees for
kitchen hydrants, washstands, bath tubs,
shower baths, water closets, fountains, &C.,
and each householder in building his house or
In putting In these convenieuces. which COM
prise large class OF what are called modern
improvements" will determine for himself
just how many of these uxuries he will have,
and consequently just what amount of money
he shall pay per annum for the use Of the city
water. Plugs will, of course, be provided at
frequent Intervals along the street mains for
the use Of the fire department, and public
fountains In the squares and drinking foun-
tains for men and animals would doubtless be
erected, while the flowing of of this vast bulk
of water every day would effectualy flush the
drains and sewers, and cannot fall to exercise
the most salutary influence upon the public
health.
Incidental to this scheme for supplying the
city with water, plan hos been suggested for
Improving
THE NAVIGATION OF THE ASHLEY,
80 as to afford an easy outlet for the lumber
trade along the EdIsto River, and avoid the
tortuous and dangerous route down the Edlsto
and around the coast; but this project is as yet
10 embryo, and is of far less general interest
to the people Of this city than the vital and all
important subject Of the water supply, which
now gives fair premise OF being an accomplish
ed fact at no very distant day.

this dam will be supplied with two canal locks,
30 as to Interfere as little as possible With the
NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER.
On the east side Of the Edlsto will also be
built a massive ''guard lock-" which is simply
an immense rectangular box Of massive tim
bers, capable of holding forty or fifty million
gallons Of water. The average height of the
Edisto River ct this point is ten feet, and its
level above high water mark is twenty-seven
feet. The main supply pipe, which will con-
vey the water to this city, will enter this
guard-lock within about twelve inches of the
surface of the water. The pipe will be OF
iron, with diameter of probably five and q
halt feet, and will be set In bed ofpmasonry,
rising to about half Its height and perhaps
rooted over with one course of brick work as q
further precaution against injury. A cut will
then be made through the little ridge between
Four Hole Swamp and Cypress Swamp, which
separate the two rivers, and the pipe will be
laid through this cut until 1t reaches the
Ashley River a. a point little above Schullz's
Lake. From that point to the city the Ashley
has we'll defined and nearly uniform grade
of about three inches to the mile, and the
pipe will be laid along the northeastern bank
of the river, conforming very nearly to the
course and level OF the river until point
about seven miles above the city, at or near
Accabee, is reached. Here 1t is proposed
to erect the water works of the new company,
which will have for their two principal fea-
lures the reservoir and the water tower. The
reservoir Ir or receiving basin will be of stone,
and with capacity of twenty million gallons
of water, being full supply for all the wants
of the city for five days. This is estimated
upon the basis OF

DR.. LIVINGSTONE!

Gable dispatches report the
receipt in London of, a tel
egram from Bombay; announcing
the safety Of the long lost English
traveller, DR.. Livingstone. The de-
tails of the report are, however,
somewhat meager and inconclusive.
Beyond the fact that the English
expedition to Zanzibar had returned
to Bombay from that place, with the
intelligence that Livingstone was
safe with the Americans, one of
whom was the Herald correspon-
dent, Stanley. No information is Civ
-en concerning the present wheara-
bouts of the party. However, as
DIR. Livingstone's son is member
of the English expedition, it is
hardly probable that his intense
anxiety to learn the fate of his IA
ther would be satisfied with less
than positive knowledge land ifthere
is added to this fact the expressed
determination of the remaining
members of the party not to return
without evidence of either his life
or his death, it may be set down as
pretty certain that the great explorer
is safe, as reported. This shows
the soundness of the judgment of
his intimate , friend Sir Roderick
Murchison, lately deceased. who
firmly believed Dir. Livingstone to
be living, as also the correctness Of
the views of the venerable DR., Mof-
fatt, father-ih-law of the explorer,
who but recently in public lecture
expressed himself confident of his
sons safety. igHL -u. -'aI- .'.ii .

FROM WOOSTER.
WOOSTER O., May 9th, -

" ooSTER ", May OH, -.
EDS. REPUBLICAN:-It may not
be uninteresting to the readers of
your valuable Sheet to know the
feeling regarding the nomination OF
Greeley and Brown at Cincinnati.
Greeley is acknowledged to be
the leading Journalist in the United
States, and all parties will grant
that. We confess too that he is an
honest man. But we do not think
him the best man in America for
the office Of President.
The action of the. convention in
the nomination of Greeley is looked
upon by the true men of the Re
publican party as the most harmless
to the nominations that will be made
at the regular Convention at Phila-
delphia, that could have been made,
while the Democrats are considera-
bly, disappointed as they had hoped
that Adams would be the successful
man, SO that they might put in nom
ination the same ticket. There are
a few, however, who are inclined to
60 for Greely, as they sesm willing
ty swallow everything that may
bring about the defeat of Grant or
the nominee OF the Philadelphia
convention. Liberal Republicans
are about as scarce here, as any
place in the country. "ai 'i1ii ..''0
1t is generally believed that the
whole thing was hatched by the
New York and Missouri delegations
and while the movers of the Con-
ventlon were probably sincere in
this matter those who. did control
the Convention were nothing more
or less than i set OF unprincipled
disappointed politicians who are
anxious for office and prepared to
sell principle and everything that
is honorable to accomplish their
hellish object. But the game wont
win, and if the Democrats make
nomination Greeley will have few
followers comparatively. 1t may
however depend much on the actions
of the Democrats of Holmes Co.
If they should happen to endorse
Greeley at their county convention,
the National convention will no
doubt abide by their decision.
Greeley has long had desire to oc-
cupy tile White House. but he has
about as near to it as he, will get.
The Greeley warden" hats will be
in fashion now we presume. f.f g..
We find the press of the country
very slow to commit themselves ON

The IiRERaLIsIs.

The Libcralists. as they affection
ately call themselves, andAask the
political world to recognize them by
that enphonious and,well meaning
name. have finished their labors in
Cincinnati, and separated for their
homes to account to the meager
constituencies they represented for
their doings i'm the Convention.
Primarily the object nearest the
the hearts of the soured and -disap=
pointed men of ambition who pio-
neered the departure from old party
lines, and brought into life the
movement, had but one object in
view, and that was to kill Grant in
a political way. The whole tone of
the convention betrayed a loyalty
and devotion to that single idea.
Policies and expediencies lookingto
that one object were the favored
ones.!i The round dozen of fesOlu-
tions adopted and dignified into the
name of a platform mean nothing
save and except detraction of the
present administration. This fact
is plainly apparent, and it requires
no lengthy review of the platform
to establish it, even were it doubted
that the whole movement had not
for its object the defeat OF Grant at
the coming election
As Republicans,we take no alarm
out of the situation as left by the
Cincinnati Convention. The polit-
ical prospects for the reelection of
Grant are bright and encouraging.
The Democracy are forced into an
awkward and perplexing dilemma
it will require shrewd management
to get out of it. Horace Greeley is
is not popular with the old line
Democrats who he has been cud-
ceiling as traitors and copperheads
for so many long years, and if they
must vote for a Republican, they
prefer Gen. Grant to any other who
could be named. .iui .o.i..!-'
Democratic prejudice will not
easily wash. and it will be quite sur
prising should Greeley be received
and pardoned for his sins against
the anti-war wing of the party-al-
though there are many Republicans
who do not think that his offenses
| (?) against Democracy in the past
were very serious. If the Demo
Gratis refuse. to accept Mr.. Greeley
and nominate an independent tick
ct of their own, then the fight will
resolve itself between the old par
ties and the Liberals may as well
keep out of the field for they viii
be wholly lost sight Of in the, cam
paign. View the situation from
any stand point we may, and it is
hopeful for Grant, whose reelection
with each returning day, becomes
more certain. iA-'iis adl lH-il -'i. 1'a

THE COMING MAN.

The coming cdmpaign promises
to be one OF unusual Importance;
not only because Of the zeal mani
tested for the political mastery by
the two great opposing bodies, but
because of the antagonistie mater
ial OF which parties are at the pres
ent time composed. Who can tell
but that the selection of and cleo
tion of the next man to fill the ex
ecutive chair, depends the future
prosperity, the veal or the woe of
this nation. Taking these grave
facts into consideration it is not
displaying the part of prudence or
wisdom,fo for men 10 act too rashly or
arrive at premature conclusions up
on a matter of such vital impor-
tance. The candidate, should be a
man of honesty. and integrity Of
purpose. One who is above party
predjudice, and not wholely given
to party idolatry. One who will
not suffer himself to- be, influenced
by eliques, or party rings, but will
execute such laws as he cohscienl
tiously believes win tend to develop
the interests and promote the pros
perity Of. this nation, These are
some of the principle features which
should characterize the person call
ed by the people to this responsible
position. And such we believe to
have been the prevailing qualifica-
tions OF the man WHO for three years
has so successfully and satisfactor-
ly welded the scepter of justice.
A man who from apparent obscurity
attained the highest encomium
which a nation could give. One
who by wise administration has
rapidly reduced a war debt of mil
lions of dollars, brought to a sue
cessful termination. one of. =, the
most bloody rebellions that ever
cursed a land. One who during
the darkest days of the war on be
ing interrogated in regard to 4 ces-
sation of hostilities had the unpar-
alleled courage to refuse anything
short of an unconditional surrend-
er.5. Such courage as this deserves
the Acknowledgements of an intelli-
gent and free people. yla'.I.' .'..l'

The CANDIDATES.

Mr.. Greeley was born in Amherst
New Hampshire, 1911, and is con.
seqnently in the 6lst year of his
sgeanHisiearly years were spent on
his fathers farm, where he laid the
foundation of his extensive acquain-
tance with agricultural subjects.
At the age of fifteen he entered a
printing office in East Peultney.
Vermont, as an apprentice to the
artwhere he remained for five wears,
becoming a great expert. He
worked in Erie, Pa, subsequently,.
In August, 1882, he entered New
York with a scanty wardrobe and
no money, but soon obtained a
journeyman's place. In 1888 he
commenced the printing business
on his own account. entering into
partnership with Mr.. Francis Story
The firm printed the Morning Post,
the first1ddaiIy penny paper ever
published in the world which failed
in the courseIof three weeks. After
various enterprises, attended with
varying success, he established on
April 10th, III, the Daily Tribune,
with which his name has been iden-
tihedi ever since. In AS he was
elected to Congress to fill vacancy
serving year in that body. Mr. |
Greeley's history during the past
two decades of years is familiar to
al readers. .zl'a- 7-i" .iH I

for Fice-President, was born at Lex
