Gov. Tilden's message concerning the
canal frauds in New York, says: 1--WE

ton is as sound as our own and equally
capable of noble impulses. The NAL
practices thus exposed are inexcusable,
but the corruption is not deep-seated
and by no means characteristic of the

THE WATER WORKS FEAST

In another part OF this paper our read
ers will find the petition 6ledin the Court
Of Common Pleas by the attorneys for
the city, and also the answer of Louis
Shaefer. 1t will be seen that Mr..
StAefer admits thathe placed the money
in bank, and not in the city treasury, as
the law requires, 1t is hoped the real
reason for his conduct in this respect will
be given on the trial. We know that
the good citizens of Canton will rejoice
In the prospect of getting little insight
and understanding of the management
of matters during the construction Of the
Water Works
To show tie feast our citizens 7Oere
&twttd to, we give the following:
"The cost of water works complete
with iron Rfpe, from the lake to the cen
ter of the city, $4,000 feet, will be only
$4,000.
ESTIMATED income from water rents,
$500.
Interest on cost of works per cent
yearly, $4,000.
yearly excess to apply on cost, 81, 800
(Which, in I6 years, will pay off the
whole debt without levying one cent of
tax for that purpose"
tScAaeter'S report to CITY Council May
as. 1868.
Under the above aspect of the case
he citizens of Canton readily voted fifty
thousand dollars; and after that was ex-
pended, or disappeared, voted another
6ty thousand. This was all the direct
voting upon it, but not all that was done,
as will be seen by the following:

above, in order to maintain reasonable
degree of efficiency in the water works.
1t should not be forgotten that we did
not get iron pipe from the lake, but Mid
dlebury made stone pipe; and that we
emily got a supply oflake water some six
months, since which time our citizens
have had to be content with creek water.

sary and would be superfuous. The
facts given are startling enough to en-
gage attention when the conclusion is
Inevitable. The whole thing demon

CASTELAR,. The absurd story telegraphed
the other day to the effect that CASTELAR, was
willing to recognize the Prince Alfonso as
King of Spain now receives its contradiction
in despatch direct from Madrid announcing
that this illustrious Spaniard has resigned the
Presidency of the Commission from Spain to
the Centennial Exhibition, the Charcellorship
of Public Instruction and his university profess
sorship. 1t would be as impossible for
CASTELAR, to accept King Alfonso and the
wretched party which be brings into power
as it would be for Wendell Phillips to recog-
nize jeff Davis as his candidate for the Presi-
dency on the platform of slavery. CASTELAR,
resigning his Offices, and not only his public
stations but his private position in the uni
versty as lecturer on history, shows that he
despses the usurpation that has taken Spain
by the throat. We shall soon hear, probably,
that he and his colleagues are exiles in France
1t is matter of great regret to Americans
that we are not to have CASTELAR, in this
country during our Centennial Exhibition.
He would be welcomed in manner worthy of
his genius, his fame, his patriotism and his
ardent devotion to America and American in
stitutons.

The NAME OF THOMAS VAUGHN and his
words when he was expelled by the United
States troops from his seat in the Legislature
of Louisiana will live long in the annals of
that unfortunate State. This silvery-headed
old man rose very slowly, and said, ga gene
raj of the United States Army has placed his
hand upon my shoulder and commanded me
to leave the floor of this House. AS member
Of this body, duly elected by the people OF
Caddo parish, and, as an American citizen,

An Outline of the Conspiracv.

In Louisiana the case is bad enough as it
is, but suppose that out of these events should
come collision of the people with the troops.
What then? 1t would be collision that
would arise from popular fury, for the
citizens are, it is clear, resolutely resolved
against the resort to violence. It would be
an outburst Of popular passion overriding
the restraints of better judgment. Therefore
it would not be resistance of the sort that
suddenly arose in September. 1t would not
surrender at any formal show of authority or
in any spirit of discretion. 1t would fight.
Somebody would be hurt Naturally the
people who would be most hurt would be the
small force of United States troops on the
spot compelled to face a whole population of
resolute and desperate spirits The troops
would be driven out and the people
would hold the city. Grant would, there
upon, stake command in person." He
would concentrate all the available force
of the government and endeavor to take the
city; but he would probably fail, for in sup
port of the people of New Orleans would i'm
mediately rally, to fight their battles over
again, the whole of the population Of Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Arkansas,
and the men who once marched under the Con-
federate colors. We would be in the presence
of new rebellion, fomented by the Execu-
tive; and the President would call on Con-
gress for troops-and money. Would Congress
vote them? There can be no doubt
of it. 1t must be remembered that
this Congress still represents the prin-
ciples and the party that the country
has repudated at the polls, and in the chance
Of new conflict and revived rebellion it
would see the hope of O renewed hold on the
nation. 1t would vote the President the hun
dred thousand men he wants, and if within
year from this time Grant has command of
one hundred thousand men the next election
for the Presidency will be held at the Greek
kalends, or whenever else His Excellency may
please. BY all means, then, let there be no
conflict, for that is the thing that is most de-
sired by the military satrapy of the White
House, which has Grant in its hands.

What Is the Truth

We are not satisfied about this garbled
Message. The other day we were told, or
what seemed to be official authority, that the
President, after having written his Message,
in response to the representations of Secretary
Fish, "toned it down." that before toning it
down, however, he had given it to the press,
and that the newspapers, therefore, in Europe
graphs first written without knowing of this
change in the Presidents mind. This seemed
to be reasonable statement Now comes
another semi-oflicial report which says:-'It
has been ascertained from an altogether credi-
BILE source that there was no modification
Of the Message in relation to Spanish
affairs previous to the transmission of
the document to Congress-" The authority
for this averment is the Washington agent of
the Associated Press, and we accept it from
him as being on admission that the report
which he sent from Washington, which
threatened intervention with Spain, which
spoke of England as being partner to this
Intervention, which referred to the insults to
the English and American flags, which led to
angry comments in Spain and wondering
comments in England, did not come from the
President of the United States, and that the
story, therefore, that the President had
changed his mind is untrue. We are as far
from an explanation of this remarkable cir
cumstance as ever What is the truth? Did
the President, either directly or indirectly,
prompt this garbled Message? II he did
not, then who did?

past year, that SO many souls have been
saved and gathered to the Church, and that,
"while sceptics have risen up to overthrow
the faith. Christian scholars have also ap-

These meetings of Christian men for purposes
OF consolation and devotion are interesting
phases in our society. We trust that the op-
portunity now afforded to oil who desire to
unite in these services will be embraced, and
that in the present year our Christian friends
will find their prayers answered as fully as in

The PRoMPTrTUDE with which Mayor Wick
ham has served charges of removal on Mr.
Delafeid Smith, the Corporation Counsel,
shows that His Honor means to carry out his
policy promptly and with resolution. He
must not make the mistake however, of re-
moving republicans like Mr.. Smith and neg
lecting to remove democrats like Andrew H.
Green. This will lay him open to the impu-
tation of using his Office not to build up the
credit and honor of the city, but to absorb the
patronage into the hands of the Tammany
party.

feels that if his administration Can ac-
complish this result it will be remembered
with those administrations in the past which
gave us the Erie Canal, the Croton water and
the Central Park. The crying want of New
York is cheap homesteads. The poor man is
compelled to burrow in our densely populated.
diseased and unhealthy lower faubourgs,
crammed into vast tenement houses, compelled
to breathe the malarious air, having no
sunshine and green trees, having to raise
his children amid typhus and moral
influences even more perilous than fe-
yer. Yet there is no reason why the
beautiful country extending beyond Ford
ham and Carmansville, now used for farm
ing purposes, as attractive as any part of
the United States, should not be covered with
hundred thousand homes, where the labor
ing man might have all the comforts of his
own dwelling, fresh air, sunshine, the beauti-
full scenery of the Hudson and Harlem rivers
and Long Island Sound, and yet be within
half-hour's ride of his business. A city which
is devoted to millionnaires and beggars, like
New York, and which brushes it's worthy
laboring class, does not answer the best pur-
poses of the metropolis. Rapid transit will
remove this reproach, and, by enabling the
poor to find comfort, security and health,
crown our metropolis with glory that, with
all its splendor and wealth, it has not yet
attained-the glory Of being the home of the
poor as well as of the rich.
