A DIsGRACEFUL AFFAIR.-The excursion
from Lewiston, gotten up by the band con.
nected with one of the Catholic societies, was
made most dsgraceful by the riotous element.
Parties from Lewiston were there with an
abundance of ale to sell and whiskey was
plenty. Quite number of the crowd were full
of bad rum and fight when they arrived in this
city. The party numbered five or six hundred,
and went to Little Hog Island on the Florence
Ale was sold out Of tubs on the island, and
soon the rowing begun and continued all day.
About twenty bruisers caused all the trouble
and gave many we'll disposed people bad
name. There were great many who were in
various stages of intoxication, Two of the
Catholic clergynen from Lewiston were pres
ent and did their utmost to prevent disorder.
Had it not been for them it is quite probable
that we should have had a very bloody affair to
recount. A detachment Of police was sum-
moned late in the afternoon, which did much
to restrain the vicious alecrazed crowd. Al.
bert Thompson, a confectioner on Portland
street, who was mere spectator, was struck
by heavy tumbler, thrown by an ale seller at
a man who stole money of him, and severely
cut in the jaw and neck. He bled profusey
and tainted away.
Those who carried marks Of the fighting, we
are pleased to learn, were largely Lewiston

wonderful especially in Nervous and Chronic Dis

A Proper Beginning.

Prominent democrats who have gone to
New Orleans at the request of Mr.. Hewitt,
Chairman of the Democratic National Com
mittee, have formally and in very proper
and patriotic spirit asked q conference with
the republicans whom General Grant has
asked to go there also. We hail this as the
beginning of systematic and wise council Of
the statesmen of both parties. by whom. we do
not doubt, means will be found to provide
satisfactory settlement Of all pending
difficulties. These democrats rightly say
that it is not to be supposed that eithes
party desires to secure the success of ito
candidate by means or results in the least
doubtful, and this is perfectly true. Let
MS all have patience. There is wisdom and
honor enough in the country to settle thia
dispute without difficulty, and with nd
needless delays
Among the names signed to the democratic
address are those of many men of most hoa-
orable repute for character and statesman
ship-such as Governor Palmer, ex-senator
Trumbull, Judge Stallo, Professor Sumner,
of Yale College, Mr.. Broadhead, William R.
Morrison and others. We do not doubt that
they will be promptly met in spirit as fair
and honorable as their own.

Ambitious Postmasters.

Washington gets itself very easily excited
in these days, and our correspondents
there report that the republicans were
in dismay last evening over the
discovery that not one but two post
masters had ignorantly and with too
great ambition crept on to electoral tick
cts. One Of these unfortunates lives in
Oregon; the other, before reported,
in Vermont. Both, on reading for
country, hastily sent in their designations,
and both, designations were promptly ac-
cepted. That ends the official life of these
persons but they will regret their haste
when they consider that, having been chosen
electors while postmasters, they were ineli-
gible to the first place, but still eligible to
the last and that, as the laws of Oregon
and Vermont provide that, in case Of the alb
sence or failure to serve Of an elector the
remainder of the body shall at once choose
a substitute, no actual harm was done or
difficulty created by the choice as electors of
these postmastcrs
Before this election is settled we shall oil,
down to the humblest postmaster in the
land, understand more about the details Of q
Presidential election than we ever did be-
fore. Tho knowledge will, we trust como
Just little too late for use, for it is not con-
ceivnble that we shall not have constitution
ally changed and simplified the manner of
choosing our Presidents before 1880. Mean
time we cannot help feeling sorry for these
two country postmasters, who will be
pointed at by their neighbors for the rest of
their lives as men of futile but overwecn-
ing ambition.

Our Resources for w.s.r.

1t is evident that at no distant day there
must. be an entire reorganization Of the
water supply for this city. Further demon
stration of the inadequacy of our present
supply can scarcely be required after the
trouble which dry summer has brought
upon us and which now provokes such ex-
tended and just complaint. II is part Of
the history Of every great city that supple
mentary water service is called for once in
half century or century in proportion to
the rapidity of its growth. Even in Paris
there has Just been constructed q supple
mentary reservoir of enormous proportions,
though one might have supposed that city
Of that age would have had all such concerns
organized very long ago. 1t is the result Of
their experience that no one source is ever
adequate. Both Paris and London have .
composite system. Here, when we tapped
the little Croton River, we thought we had
such fortune we could never spend it, and
we threw away what we had before.
The old pumps that had served
the city perfectly for two hundred
years were given up altogether. Those
old sources drawn upon by the devices with
which modern science has improved the
pump would supply one-third Of our pres
ent population. There are evidences that
there are subterranean sources far richer
than any ever touched by the old pumps,
and an inquiry should be instituted in re-
gard to these. 1t has been suggested that
we might draw upon New Jersey. This is
source of supply that would prove richer
than any other. The Passaic River is only
about half as far from us as the Croton, and
it drains all the northern counties of New
Jersey and considerable area in New York
State east of the basin of the Delaware. Il
supplies already four cities. It has not beeE
altogether adequate this summer to the de-
mands made upon it, but this is due to the
want of reservoirs. It carries to the sec
every year enough water to supply the
whole United States The Hudson River
would not be ON obstacle to the engineers Of
these days. Tho snbaqueous tunnel will
afford an easy means of connecting the water
sources Of New Jersey with the points Of
distribution in New York. Another source
not beyond our reach is the Housatonio
River. This stream, like the Passaic, will
afford an unlimited supply for the region
north of the Harlem River, where the
largest growth of the city may be expected
to occur. Within ten years we must draw
on one or the other of these streams. We
print to-day on another page an article ex-
planatory Of the difficulties that must bs
overcome before perfectly reliable supply
of water can be obtained for New York.
The defects of the present system are mani
fest, although the report of Commissioners
Campbell would lead us to think otherwise.
This voluminous but not luminous docu-
ment is also presented to the readers of the
HERALD to-day that they may extract what
comfort they can from its reassuring pas
saQeS.
