THE NEW RESERVOIR.

Every one must aunt tua' AoonA"6 y.
this matter from the economic side, II
would be wise to make arrangements t.
raise the money to finish the reservoir; but
the act of the Legislature is SO palpably an
invasion of the rights of the municipality,
10 obnoxious to the soul Of our whole sys
TEN of government-that taxation and rep
resentalion should go hand in hand, thai
We advise City Council to rise up and asser'
the dignity Of the municipality, by refusing
to give life to a law, which is arbitrary, uI-
jast and undemocratic.
1t may be said. that the last Council
visited and mismanaged the money Of the
cisizens-it probably is SO: but the people
turned the majority out Of power, and have
had at all times the means to stop waste
aud mismanagement. We have not one
word to say Of the character or standing, Of
the three gentlemen who are appointed
commissioners, it is against the principle
Of the appointment we take issue. Com
missions in other cities are Of all other
bolies, the most pestilent sources Of corrup.
tiou, and wrong doing. If the munich al
Council Of Wilmington quietly submit to
the commission, no matter how honest and
respectable. its members are, by raising the
required funds, they practically surrender
every municipal right:of the city, and the
franchise Of the people.
Wilmington has groaned under many
wrong, submitted to snubs and insults from
the Legislature; but she is called upon TO
ban1 over her purse, to commission not
of her choice or creation, and one entirely
irresponsible and independence her. and
her people.
Now and then it becomes necessity to
make loss,-be subjected to inconvenience
rather than bow to q domination, which if
submitted emasculates the spirit of nunici-
pal independence, and makes slavish and
subject the free.
The act in question is 80 insslent in char
acter, as to take away from the citizens of
Wilmington the power to fill any vacancy
that may. hereafter. occur, by the death or
resignation Of any one or all of the Com
mission, but vests it in the Governor of the
State.
The Commission have remedy if City
Council refuse to borrow the money, as the
act is directory, and they can apply for
decree in Chancery to direct compliance
with the act, or a mandamus to compel the
borrowing of the money. Inasmuch as the
law gives the broad power TO the Commits
sion Council will be acting brave and
manly part, to try the cons tlutional right
Of the Legislature to impose such insolent
upon the people Of Wilmington.
Unless the municipalities of State, or
Nation preserve their independence, the
path is clear for general enslavement, they
are the bulwarks Of popular freedom.
Better let the reservoir crumble away, than
quietly aid ia carrying out a law-the
krue meaning Of which might be entitled
an act to deprive the "ci,izens Of Wilmir g
to1 of municipal government"

taking into bis Cabinet some one intelligent South
ern Democrat who bad fought on the Confederate
side but who is now thoroughly true to the Union.
To this end he was disposed to take Gen. Joseph T..
Johnston as a representative Southern man, but Mr.
Key was found less Objectionable to Republicans,
and was finally chosen. The significance of the ap-
pontment is in its notice TO the South that the new
Administration has no purpose which cannot oe
freely disclosed to and discussed with an honorable
representative of their section, and vino Is IN
full sympathy with the best elements in the South
ern opposition party.
This, it is claimed, cleans the way for what is to
follow. Vice-President Wheeler, who is 70 be no
cipher in the Government will be invited to partci-
pate in the Administration AS freely as if he was
member of the Cabinet Ii is hoped that after the
Senate adjourns he will head commission to be ap-
pointed by the President to visit the South, care
fully study the situation in Louisiana and South
Carolina, and ascertain upon what honorable terms
all troubles there be acceptably pacated by state
action, with such support and cooperation as the
President can rightfully extend. The Presidents
friends say that if this policy fails it will be the
fault of the Southern people themselves and Will be
SO regarded They say, Also that if 1t succeeds it
Will break down the color line in politics by detach-
ing the old Wings and Douglas Democrats and or
ganizing them into a strong Administration party OF
whites to whom the blacks will naturally adhere.
The above is given as the general plan. the details
of which must depend upon the results of careful
Cabinet consultation and liberal interchange OF
views with patriotic and clcar-headed mca whose
character and position cntite them to be heard.

and second to his belief that the pacifcation policy
is not practicable ard will not be popular at the
North. They believe that he has reflected on the
situation and made mp his mind that his best chance
for succeeding President Hayes lies in the direction
of keeping sectional prejudices alive. According 10
their explanation his idea is that President Hayes
will make total failure in his attempt TO Duid up
white Republican party in the South that MS
Administration will in the end become almost as I'M
popular as that of Andrew Johnson was ; and that
the Republicans of the North will rally wlth en-
thusas,n around the leader who has kept steadily IN
the old faith 1t was Mr. Blaine who forced the
fight in 1870 away from such issues as civil service
reform and finance over to the Southern question:
and he seems determined to keep the old issue a'e
and make it serve for the campaign of 1880
The letters of Mr. Evarts and Stanley Matthew's
referred to in the dispatch from Chamberlain
although their contents very impcrfectly KNOWN
are the subject of much discussion and some severe
criticism. The President has disclamed all knowi-
edge or responsibility for these letters, and mas
assured Republicans that he did not authorize either
of them. The dispatch which Mr.. Blaine read
contained no information to the character OF MI
Evart's letter, and did not assert that either OF
them was written at tlfe instance of the President
Both were probably personal letters expressing the
personal opinions OF their writers, and they were
probably written before Mr.. Eyarts had received
any invitation to accept place in President Hayess

WAsUtNGToN. March T. Grover of Oregon,
elected to succeed Senator Kelly, seemed to think
to-day that while the storm was raging over the
Southern policy of the new Administration he could
slip into his seat unobserved between the thunder
claps As soon as the usual prayer had been said by
the chaplain to-day and the journal had been read
he came forward on tho arm of Mr.. Wallace to be
sworn in. Less than a dozen Republican, Senator'S
were in their seats, and nobody gave any attention
to the proceeding except Mr.. llamlin. That Sen
ator looked up from his writing and objected on the
ground that Senator Mitchell, who had some papers
bearing on the case was rot in his place. "As
Senator insist that Mr.. Grover shall be sworn ing
said Mr. Wallace in emphatic tones. "As Senator
insist that he shall not" said Mr. hamlin in still
more emphatic tones. The question could not be
then considered because the louisiana case was
pending, and Mr. Grover had to retreat.
New-York tribune., 1877-03-08

in the Cabinet than any other. He offered the Sec
retaryship of the Navy to Mr.. Hale, not only be-
cause the Representative from Maine has through
his service on the Committee on Appropriations be-
come familiar with the management of naval affairs,
but also because it supposed that his appoint
ment would be pleasing both TO Mr. Blaine and Sec
retary Chandler Mr. Hale declined for personal
reasons and recommended that Mr.. Frye be ap-
pointed in his place. President Hayes seems to
have supposed that the appointment reverted to
himself when not accepted by the person 10 whom
he offered il and it is not believed that Mr. Frye's
appointment at any time very seriously con-
templated Had it been probable a strong Opposi-
ton to it would have been manifested from some
what unexpected quarter. 1t may be remembered
that two years ago Mr.. Frye visited Massa-
chusetts and made several speeches in favor
OF Gen. Buffers reelection TO Congress.
The anti-Butler Republicans of Massachusetts
who have been represented here by several niluen-
tial gentlemen have forgotten this, and they OBJ
jecteditO Mr.. Fryc'si appointment on this account.
Had President Hayes seen fit 10 select Mr.. Frye for
any Cabinet position he would undoubtedly have
made very efficient and valuable public officer.
Although strong partisan he is remarkably ener-
getc in everything he undertakes and his executive
ability is unquestoned.
The delay in the confirmation of President Hayess
Cabinet is not believed to endanGer its final accept
ance. The oldest politician in Washington does not
remember an instance in which Cabinet nomina-
tion has been rejected, and although some OF the
Republican Senators are displeased with the sclec-
tion which President Hayes has made it is doubtful
if they even will vote against their confirmation.
The Democrats will probably take no part in the
controversy but it IS intilnated this evening ON
very high authority that the Democratic Senators
will not allow any of President Hayess Cabinet to be
defeated should the occasion arise for them to make
their influence felt.
Mr.. Key received the following tonight from
Nashville: 81 tender my sincere congratulations.
Don't fail to accept. b. T. CHEAInAM."

pert, Mr.. George G. Howard, con-
slider excellent in his profession.
Having completed q lesson from
him on the 4th inst, he gave a syn
opsis Of the requirements Of good
bills, as follows:
]. The fine lines composing skies,
clouds, and smoke must be clearly
defined; whatever direction the
lines assume, whether horizontal,
diagonal, crossing each other, roll
ing, or waving, each line must pre-
serve its individuality, ne, er merg-
ing into the next line.
2. The fine lines shading letters
and figures must be equal in size
and at equal distances apart.
3. In studying geometric lathe
work, which forms the background
of denominational letters and fig
ures, and the fancy work on green
backs, bonds and bank-notes, re-
member that it is the fineness of the
line and the intricacy and perfec-
ton Of the pattern that renders it
impossible for this work to be sue
ceSSfully counterfeited. To guard
against altered notes, demand per-
feet harmony of color in title, de-
nomination, and locality.
4. The portions of the different
national bank bills which Mr.. How
ard would have examined for the
"ruling engine" work are: The
left hand end of the 500 bill ; left
hand of $50 bill; right hand of $2C
bill; left hand of $40 bill; left hand
of 81 bill, and the centerof 81 bill
OF greenbacks the examination
should be: On the $40 bill (irst
series), background of portrait O
Hamilton; other greenbacks, geo.
metric latbe-work, excepting pre-,
sentations of outdoor scenes, ther
the "ruling-engine work"
These suggestions and rules
have found very valuable, and viii
| think, prove the same to all VIII,
carefully consider them.

with grooved lines. These grooves
determined the breadth of the let
ters she is to make, and their dis
tance apart determines the distance
of the lines. She wrote neatly and
rapidly in letters resembling the
raised ones of her books: ''Thc
Lord is my shepherd, l shall not
want" Her mother remarked that
she would write letter sooner than
she could herself. When we arose
to go she took her watch from her
belt and told us the time" three
minutes past sever" by means OF
the raised figures on the face; and
she took us by the hand, which
was her way of saying good even
ing.
1t is surprising that one who is
deaf, DUMB and blind; whose mind
has to be reached mainly through
the sense Of feeling, should be able
to comprehend SO readily and ex-
press herself so easily. She recog-
nizes those whom she has met be-
fore as readily as any one. As
might be expected, her emotions all
show themselves in hercountenance,
whether of joy or sadness. The
death of her kind friend, DR.. Howe,
was a severe blow to her.
Such is the appearance of Laura
Bridgman. She has no recollection
Of sight or sound, as she tells US,
yet is able to do such things as
have related, and finds much more
to enjoy in life than many who have
all their faculties. 1t is said that
she plays skillfully on the piano,
though this we did not see. She
spends much of her time at the in
8titution for the blind, South Bos-
ton.

Devious are the paths of Mexi-
can justice, as q certain Californian
found out recently when he tried to
prosecute a native for stealing his
valise. The court at once ordered
Ohe arrest of the entire crew of the
vessel on which the theft was com
mitted, and made the prosecutor
pay successive fees of SIG and 1922
for the privilege of making his
complaint. This struck him as a
rather losing operation, and he took
the advice Of knowing country
man and cleared. At last accounts
the captain and crew were still in
durance, and the court was rapidly
absorbing the value of the schooner.
