ComptroIier's statement.

Much of our space Is occupied today
by the annual publication OF the lis; OF
officers in arrear Ia the State for collie
tions, &c. We are glad TO see that oar
county makes a very respectable appear
ence, though re; as good As last yea.

Our Ticket.

1t is with great pleasure that we place
at the head of our columns the ticket NOM
mated by our County Convention on Tues
day last. Whatever may be the fate of
this ticket on the I'd of November, all
must admit that most faithfully and 10y
ally has the Convention discharged its du-
ties faithfully to the people--loyally to
the party. If there is any merit in nomi-
nating-as we have so often urged-the
best men, that merit is the Convention en-
titled to. If the selection of capable and
honest men as the nominees entities party
tothe popular confidence and support, then
assuredly will our ticket be elected. Com
parsons are odious, if mot "odorousn some
times, but in this particular instance we
tainly hope we will not be called up to
fight, if we say that every nominee on our
ticket is the superior of those on the tick
ct of our opponents. And we challege
any truly independent man to deny the
truth of our assertion. We have no fear
but that same man, when he is independ-
ent enough to vote for the best men, will
cast his vote for our ticket. We do not
mean to say that our ticket comprises all
of the best men in our county, for 1--WE
have few more of the same sort left"
but we do mean to say that it is compos-
ed of our very best citizens, both in
moral point of view and as to intellectual
status, and that is what we cannot say of
. the ticket of the opposition. But then
tless it was the best that party could
we ought not to expect too much
m. When the office holders are
from the mass of the party per-
they will do better.
At the head of the ticket, as the legisla
re nominees, we have two men who
to their spotless probity of private
n6a degree of talent which would
IA shining ornament of any TO
cannot fail to give them great
Dhence in the council of the State,
both as legislators and orators. Few will
equal them-none surpass them. With
Legislature composed of such men there
will be no show for lobbyists or rings,
whether they have margin of fifteen of
fifty per cent. Whilst both of them are
lawyers enjoying large practices at this
bar, they are at the same time identified
with the agricultural interest as practical
farmers. Like every other man on the
ticket, they have not sought the nomination
and in yielding to the unanimous wish
of an intelligent public opinion they make
sacrifices, which few know the extent of,
but for which they are entitled to the
earnest and active support of every good
citizen within the county.
Mr. John w. Mitchell, the nominee for
States Attorney, needs no encomium at
our hands before this people. With legal
attachments which cause him to be look
ed upon as the Nestor of the bar, he is
known to every man, woman and child OF
the county as ''the noblest work of God
an honest man."
Of the rest of the ticket space does not
permit US to speak as we could wish. But
they are all good men-solid in sense and
in virtue-and all being large taxpayers
have the material interest of the county
at heart.

THE CITY'S WATER SUPPLY.

AN ICE GORGE IN CRoToN LAKE-ApPREHKN-
sIONS FOB THE SAFETY OF THE DAM.
Owing to the unusually large accumulation OF
ice In the Croton Lake and tributaries Sc rious
apprehensions for the safety Of the dam have for
some days past been felt by many living in its
vicinity. That these fears have been entertained.
to some extent at least, by the Croton Aqueduct
Board may reasonably be inferred from the cir
cumstance that one of the assistant engineers
made flying visit to the lake day or two since
Ior the purpose OF examining the situation,
and, doubtless, also or lmpressing on the mind
OF the newly appointed superintendent the
ance OF the present somewhat precarious coudi.
dltion OF affairs regarding the lOunt on which New
York city depends Tor It's supply OF water. The
immense quantities oil ice IN the lake and sur.
rounding streams have until the present cold
spell set In been gradually disappearing and IL Is
TO be earnestly hoped that o continuation OF mod
crate weather Will tend to dispel the apprehen-
sons Indicated. 1t Is asserted. however, by 1arm-
ers and others living In the neighDornoOd or
CrOtOn Lake that. should heavy rain

means OF carrying away the dam through the IT.

yhe destruction OF property between the lake and
the point where 1t empIies Itself into the Hudson
River, near Sing Sing, would probably be great
while the calamity 1t would entail on the people
OF the metropolis, by almost wholly cutting on
their supply OF water TOR perhaps twelve months,
can scarcely De imagined, much less described.
