Mr.. BLAINE TAKING SouNDINGs

Mr.. BLAINE TAKING SOUNDINGS.
A New York letter to the Philadelphia
Ledger says Senator Blaine has been in
a quiet way taking ''soundings" in that
city as to the feeling in regard to the
Presidents Southern policy; but if ru-
NOR is not much out of the way, with
results that are far from satisfactory to
him. The republican leaders he found
very generally disposed to give the Presi-
dent fair trial, while the cautious over
lures that were made to the democracy
(not by MIR. Blaine, but by persons un-
derstood to be acting in his behalf,) de-
veloped nothing that could be called en-
couraging. Not that there are not men
in both parties who are disposed to join
any plan, as against the administration
that had respectable show of success,
but the apprehension is that the Presi-
dents policy Is just now so popular with
the people of the North and South alike
That any movement of this kind at pres
ent would be extremely hazardous. Mr..
Blame, therefore, is advised not to COM
mence his campaign at present BY the
time Congress assemblies it is possible
something may have happened to add
strength TO his position, in which case he
VIII not have to 90 about hunting up re-
crults. 1he Ledger's correspondent adds
that there is good reason for saving that
MIR. Blaine will accept this advice, and
that the public, therefore, will hear nc
more at present about the organization
OF an opposition party, so far as New
Y ork is concerned.

A LETTER FROM GEN. BUrLER-HR1N-
DULGEs IN A BRIEF SARCASM.
Gen. B i. Butler has written letter
to Marshal Pitkin of Louisiana, regard
ing the Presidents regret for the later's
resignation, in which he indulges II a
little sarcasm in regard te the civil service
reform policy of the administration. lie
thinks Marshal Pitkin does not make
''sufiicient allowance for political neces-
stiles and entanglements, by which good
men are compelled to do that which they
would rather not do" and then states he
is informed that it is an open secret in
Washington that Col. Jack Wharton,
Pitkin's competition, aided Mr.. MacV eagh,
one of the commissioners at New Orleans,
very largely in getting a portion the MEM
bers of the republican Legislature TO de-
sert from Packard and go over to Mich
oils, some of whom were, it is reported,
paid as much as $4,000 He says 1t IS
also rumored in Washington that Col.
Wharton being the instrument selected by
Mr.. MacVeagh to do this piece OF bust
ness, had his promise of being made
marshal if he successfully accomplished
it. Gen. Butler argues that Wharton
having performed his side of the bargain
the administration should be allowed to
carry out their side, and hence advises
Pitkin not to throw any impediment [Ly
refusing to resign] "in the way OF the
Presidents fulfilling all the bargains
which his suberdinates made, as
necessary steps in inaugurating his
Southern policy, which is to be
Of SO great and incalculable advantage,
not only to the party, but also 10 the
country" Gen. Butler closes with the
following advice to Pitkin "When you
find that the President, in obedience to
the call of his country and the public
exigency for its paciiication, deems it
necessary to sacrifice you and take away
your Office and give it to one who wore
the gray, when you stood in the blue, you
ought not to kick aud squirm any more
than Isaac did when lie lay upon the al
tar under the knife of his father, Abra-
ham"
Hon. Wayne MacVeagh has written to
Butler, contradicting many of his state
mehts, particularly with regard TO the
use Of money, and declaring that be
awaits with confidence and pride the
judgment of the American people on the
labors of the late commission in Louisi-

Too MUCH ENGINEERING.-Perhaps
there is no more simple work than the
building of an earthen bank to make a
water reservoir. Such banks have been
constructed in all countries in ancient
and modern times. In our own city,
near half century ago, the reservoir at
Tenth and Market streets was construct
ed with very little trouble and at a small
expense. This reservoir has stood the
test of time and is as permanent to-day
as it was when first erected.
The site selected to build the new res
ervolr presented no greater obstacles. 1t
could have been erected, and would have
been, had it been properly given out by
contract at first, for about half the cost al.
ready expended upon it. There has been
100 much engineering. The people who
had it in charge abandoned our city tai
ent and went in search of men, part of
whose business is 10 mystify and make
that which is simple appear difficult, in
order that they may get larger fees for
small service. Had the services of Dan
iel Fara or r. A. Gilpin, Esqs., been en-.
gagged, assisted by the present City EHgi.
neer, the work could have been complet-
ed at fair cost even by the day. The
Tenth street reservoir was built under
the direction of the late j. p. Fairbank, a
Wilmington City surveyor, and it is a
model of excellence and permanence
The site for the new reservoir is more
simple and easy for the purpose, as it re-
quires only triangle TO pen up the wa
ter, natural embankments forming the
opposite triangle. Any man accustomed
to erecting mill dams, with the aid of a
skillful and well educated practical stone
mason could have managed the work and
made it as secure as lime and mortar and
stone and earth could be put together
We believe the greater part Of the work
about the springs is useless.
This reservoir has now cost the people
more money than would have completed
substantial structure for the purpose il
is intended. When this work was first
proposed the GAZETTE opposed it be.
cause it was not needed, and what We
said then has been shown to be true
We could still get along without thi
reservoir and save the money. A Job wa
wanted, and Il: ose in authority in 1877.
then urged it with many plausible state
ments which had the same appearance O
truth that the declarations now hav,
which are used to show the necessity o
completing the work. The bonds will
be sold and the money used and the Leg
islature will then be asked for authorit,
for another loan to put in new pump
and pipes. Until this is done also th,
reservoir will not be used for any practi
cal purpose after it is completed.

I'VE will ask has there ever been a white
man convicted and executed in the South
Ior the murder OF "a colored man? Not one
no not one On the other hand how manv
wnICe ut men nave been murdered by colored
men and have any colored men been eve
cutedp Yes, there have, and the " Gazette,
knows II, and 1t farther knows at colored
men nave been hung upon very trifiing
pretences. ."-Repubiicdtl.
If there never has been a "white man
convicted and executed in the Soutb for
the murder of colored man." it speaks
volumes for the good conduct of the white
race, especially when the courts and the
offices were all in the hands of negroes
or the vilest political enemies of the
white race and allies of the negroes.
If Kellogg and Chamberlain allowed
the negroes to be murdered without en-
forcing the laws and furnishing the gull
ty, it only showed their impotency and
oowardice, or their imbecility, and the
FOLLY OF sustaining such wretched shams
and swindlers in office by the aid of the
Federal soldiers.
The Republican continues:
The Gazette" knows that for everv
Whlte man executed in the South for mur,
uer there are ten colored men executed
hough there are ten colored men murder r.
e1 Dy ue whites, TO ole white, man by the
blacks" ~ '4e
That is a fabrication of the Who'll,
cloth. The GAZETTE has no knowledge
OF single negro being murdered by
white men. But the papers make fire..
quent notices of negroes raping and mur.
dering white girls and the wives of wbite
men. The tiends that commit these
crimes ought to be burned-hanging /,
too good for such creatures-they deserve
to be hunted to death there and lyncbod
as we believe they would be here if sucl
crimes were committed here.
A civil and well-behaved, industriop,
negro is valued in the South, and com
mands far more respect there from tn,
whites than he receives here.

The Age Of Ex-Governor Fletcher.

For short time past quite number OF
papers have discovered the somewhat ex-
traordnary fact that the above named per-
sonage has attained to the remarkable age
Of ninety-four years.
In whatever direction the ex-governor's
short comings may lie, we are sure he
never denied his actual age. Born in 1900,
1t is pretty evident that that in order I o
make him ninety-tour, one has to carry
more than tho for every ten years OF his
life
The governor informs US that he is 70;
only sixteen years less than certain know.
