General Schuyler Hamilton, Deputy Engineer of

uncompleted portion Of this work must receive the
approval Of the Commissioners of the sinking Fund,
and, as the Comptroller Is one OF the Commission
ers, 1t is needful that his concurrence shall be
obtained. The Comptroller decreed that the plans
should be left with him for consideration, and Gen.
eral Hamilton complied with the request.
Commissioner Van Mort, Of the Department Of
Public Works, has done another good act in order
ing large drinking fountains for the use OF man and
beast to be placed on the lines OF all the principal
avenues. Four of these fountains are already in
position, at the corner OF avenue and Sixteenth
street, First avenue and sixteenth street, Third
avenue and sixteenth street and Third avenue and
12lst street. Two more are now being put up--One
at Sixth avenue and sixteenth street and one at
Eighth avenue and sixteenth street. The idea of
placing these fountains on given line on all the
avenues, instead Of distributing them promiscu-
Ously, is very good one, enabling cart and truck
men to know precisely where they can water their
horses on our principal thoroughfares.

ces as in the case of Assessors blanks

test Of Commissioner McClain. Now
we don't ask every Republican to be
personal friend and admirer of us
because we are Republican as ev-
cry man has his faults and peculiar
tiles, but we do feel that we have q
right to expect the support and CO.
operation of every Republican tax
payer and others, in this matter OF
reform, policy which we have pur-
sued at considerable pecuniary sacri-
flee, and in the interest of tax payers
of our county. We had hoped that
the day when to work cheap was
both offensive and unpopular would
never come. but such has been the
case in this county with certain olli-
eials who make loud professions OF
reform. But we cannot believe it is
so with the people, and we know that

Some Lively Developments In
Relation to MIR, HasSaurek.

The following appears as editorial
in the Star, OF this evening.
"Thc accession of Mr.. Frederick
Hassaurek to the Greeley and Brown
ranks has been puffed into as much
more Importance and made a more
significant affair than the facts war
rant. The history of the case is
briefly as follows: Ever since the
national corruption, and until last
week. Mr.. Hassaurek and his paper,
the Cincinnati Volksblstt, have been
so evenly poised on the political
fence that no one could possibly de
tect any learning either way. Their
position was one of atrict and exact
neutrality, and rs the condition of
the campaign had in no wise changed
from the beginning, everybody was
justified in supposing this attitude
would be maintained to the end but
it now turns out the delay was only
for the purpose of obtaining the best
terms, no matter which side offered
them. 1t has lately come to light
that Mr.. Hassaurek has for some
time been in negotiation with certain
members ofthe Republican party in
Ohio for the transfer of himself and
his paper to the support of Grant for
the round sum Of 100000. He of
fered to take the stump and also di-
rect the columns of the Volksblatt
against Greeley, Schurz & Co., and
he particularly wanted al opportu-
nifty to tlay the last named gentleman
of whose prominence and success he
is morbidly jealous. The price was
pronounced too high, and lie subse
quently reduced the figures to Sl5,-
600. These were regarded favorably
and an agent started East to raise
the money. He secured the sum of
$4,000 in New York, and came
here expecting to raise the balance
from the Republican Congressional
Committee. This body failed, how
ever, to appreciate the patriotic offer
and so the purse was not raised in
the stipulated time ;hence the scheme
miscarried, and Mr.. Hassaurek pro
nounced on the stump and his paper
for Greeley and Brown

The Prospect i'll New York, as it
Appears to q SOjOurner.

A private letter from Central New
York, from an intelligent observer,
gives the following view of the cleo
tiou prospect there.
CATER careful survey of the po-
litical field in this State. l have no
hesitation in predicting that it will
cast it's electoral vote in November
for Grant. The majority will not be
less than 10000, and will pobably be
10000.
The nomination of Gen. Dix, by
the Republicans was "a heavy blow
and sore discouragement" to the co
alitionists and staggered them. Be-
fore they had recovered from this.
the splendid Republican successes in
Vermont and Maine, added to their
unsteadiress and took the fight out
of them, The Tribune and the World
are continuing the brag game, but
only for mer riment.
l find that while the great Demo-
cratic leaders were reluctantly con-
strained, like Mr.. Grosbeck, to
accept Mr.. Greeley, the solid men of
the party, who do not look for polit-
ical preferlnent, have never taken any
stock in him. They say DiX's de-
scription of him-unstable as water
was wonderfully correct.
There seems TO be pretty general
belief here that Fenton and Mcclure
compassed Greeley's nomination not
TO obtain q national triumph, but for
local State purposes--to spite and
defeat Conkling and Cameron. l do
not know how it may be with Cam
cron in Pennsylvania, but here the
respectable Democrats speak respect
fully of Conkling, and derisively of
Fenton, who has not the confidence
of ANYBODY, Horace Greeley OK
cepted.
In my wanderings 1 have met Il
few intelligent Pennsylvanians who
would have a gubernatorial candi-
date other than Hartranft, but they
have agreed in predicting his elect
ion in October.
As for this State, l repeat again
that its electoral vote will be for
Grant and Wilson, and Herman will
be beaten out of sight by Dix.

Hon. John Berry simply disgnsted
his audiance of three dozen on Satur-
day night, with his feeble mandlin
speech. And tie conduct of his
friends, Stevenson an,, Ward, did
not help the mattey much. Mans
field Herald,
Before we repeated the charges
against Mr.. Berry, in the Herald we
made inquiries as to their truthful
ness, as we will not malign any can
tlidate of the opposite party merely
for political purposes We found
that the dissolute habits of Mr.. Berry
were notorious, in Upper Sandusky,
is home. as well as in the neigh 1or.
ing county of Crawford, and that he
has by his conduct, forfeited the re
spect of all love abiding citizens of
whatever party, with the prepond er
ating majority against us, in the
District, we can scarcely hope to de-
feat him, but it is due to the people
OF the District that they be told what
manner of man they are expected by
the Democracy, to send as their Re-
preventative to Washington.-Mans

MUCH ADO ABOUT MOTH
ING.'

To letter of inquiry from one Of
our citizens, as to how far has Con-
gress, by Legislation, prohibited
men from voting in the Southern
States for participation IN rebellion,
Senator Sherman makes the follow
ing reply, which we believe embraces
all the facts in the case, in the most
concise form.
MANSFIELD, o., Sept. 80, 1872.
DEAR SIR.
One of the reconstruction acts
prohibits persons who could not
hold office, from voting for members
of convention, to form new con
stitution for rebel State TIT only
applied to the first election, and not
TO any subsequent election. ard this
was the only time when Congress de.
MED any one the right to vote. Tn.
der the law, as it now stands, no one
is prevented, by any act of the Gen.
eraI Government, from voting at any
election, and not m ore than 800 are
forbidden to hold office.
Very Truly Yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.
