,...S sscretary Of War and the President
intend to concentrate the army in the
South, and rule the southern States during
the Presidential campaign with the sword
and the bayonet, This is evident in them
making Congressman Lords resolution the
pretext and the basis for their last mons
trous and despotic military order. At the
time of the issuing Of this most upjusti.
fable and malignant order, there were no.
less than three thousand regular troops in
the South doing nothing beyond cousum-
ing large quantity of rations at the ex.
panse Of the people. In Sumpter county,
Alabama, full company Of troops has
been kept for many months to protect the
old bloody shirter, Judge Abrams, who has
made himself obnoxious to both whites and
blacks; and now when the whole people
of the South, both white and black, are at
peace, when there is universal desire for
peace and unity, revolutionary military
order such as that Of Grants and Cam
eron's, is Infamous and tyrannical beyond
expression, and is a direct violation Of the
pl edges given by the Republican conven.
tion at Cincinnati, and Of the pledge given
by their Presidential candidate in his let
ter Of acceptance, that there should be
peace, law and liberty throughout the whole
nation. The order directly ignores and
de6es the positive pledges of their conven.
tion and the conventions chosen candidate.
Now, when the people Of the South, white
and black, are prepared to vote without
hlndrance or molestation, and in accord.
ance with their own convictions, for the
President Of the United States and his
Minister Of War to issue an order which
is in spirit and terms declaration Of war

drinks occasionally corrupted with the
Uisckarge Of chemical refuse into the
Brandywine. The way TO remedy this is
not by the Board OF Health drifting into a
quarrel, with the mill owners upon its
banks. Men like Mr.. Thatcher are apt to
suppose that large community like Will
mington primarily have rights to the
waters of the river before and beyond any
owner Of its riparian rights. This is asad
mistake, and one which may as well be
looked into at once. In law the riparian
rights Of the mill owners may be greatly
superior to those Of the city of Whining
ton. If they acquired them before our
corporation obtained theirs, and that they
now use them Is Of old, it is sheer non
sense to threaten them, as they have been
threatened by Mr.. Thatcher, ct al.
Three summers ago, the necessities OF
the people Of Philadelphia, compelled them
to use the Schuylkil water, SO as to lower
the river, to an unmanageable point for
the boats Of the Reading Railroad Com
pany, the assignee of the riparian rights Of
the schuylkill Navigation Company. A
feet of boats lay below the Paramount
dam and could not go up the
river. Suit was brought against the
city of Philadelphia, for damages
and in fair contest in the courts, the
city lost, and it cost her we believe over
100000, The schuylkill Navigation c.
had .acnpi,~Jugut Ithe aes Of God as it was
argued the people were obliged to use
the water, it made no difference, they had
to pay compensation to those who lost by
their 70 doing.
This led to the development Of greater
capacity of water storage to prevent the
recurrence of like trouble.
A committee of intelligent citizens advis-
ed by competent engineer would be able to
amioably arrange with the mill owners
along the BrAndywine, and immensely
increase our supply.
While upon the subject, we beg to
remind City Council, that there is more
blind 1nulishness upon the entire question
of the water power Of the Brandywine,
than can be found upon this continent.
Within the limits Of this municipality is 10

water power, such as would lay the foun-
