THE NEW AQUEDUCT BILL.
FURTHER CHANGES AT ALBANY.

Cf1ANUES AL ALDANI.
THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON CITIES AMENDS THE
BILL IN CERTAIN PARTICULARS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBuSE
SALBANY, April 30-The Senate Committee on
Cities read the Croton Aqueduct bill this after
noon with view of making amendments to it thst
will render the measure acceptable to the tax
payers OF New-York. Orlando b. Potter William
Dowd aud Ex-Mayor Cooper were present in ths
cOmmittee-room making suggestions as to amend
ments. Mr. Dowd afterward said:
I'VE induced the committee to nut in the bill
several amendments, namely the sections of Mayor
Edson's bill which, as pointed out in
The TRIBUNE to-day, had been omitted from
the present bill. All Of the omitted
sections were reinserted in the bill We also asked
that the bill should be amended to provide that
the Aqueduct Commissioners shall ouly be removed
by the Supreme Court after trial. The bill now pro-
vides that removals can be made by the Governor,
and the vacancies also that occur are to be filled by
him. There is always danger that IL Governor has
such powers he may use them to accomplish politi-
cal purposes. We have absolute confidence in the
present Governor but can tell what political
changes will take place In the Office of Governor
The construction of the Aqueduct may extend over
several administrati ons. We think that removals
should only be made by the Supreme Court and ap-
pointments by the Mayor OF New-Y0rk We have
induced the committee to accept an amendment to
the bill providing that every month there shall be
public announcement of the amount of money ex-
pended during that month on the work. We are also
in favor of the number of Aqueduct Commissioners
being increased from six to seven and of the naming
of the citizen members by Mayor Edson."
II is stated that Messrs. Potter and Dowd have
suggested that ex-Naval Officer Silas w. Burt be
named as fourth citizen member of the Aqueduct
Commission. The Committee on Cities, however,
manifests opposition 10 accepting fourth citizen
member, and apparently will not make such an
amendment The bill as amended will be consid-
cred by the Senate tomorrow. Senators TreanOr,
DAILY and Grady anxious to pass the bill this
evening, but the Senate became involved in the
consideration Of some other matters, and they could
not get the Aqueduct bill to the 'front.' 1t is suspected
that their motive in rushing the bill to get it
through the Legislature, If possible, before o
citizens committee reaches here from NewYork.
Ii is presumed that at the meeting to be held In
New-York tomorrow night on the Aqueduct
question committee will be appointed
to oppose here the present Aqueduct bill
1t is said that Senator DAILY will offer amendments
tomorrow which, II adopted, will equaliZe tho
powers of the Aqueduct Commissioners. He will
also move that fourth citizen member he added to
tho AQueduct Commission, but with little hope Of
securing the adoption of the motion. He will sug-
gest that Roswell P. Flower be named.

EDMUNDS AND LINCOLN.

Technically, Mr.. Edmunds would be
handicapped by the fact that his State is
small and hopelessly Republican. But it
is to be remembered that in 1884 VIC shall
have more than one doubtful State, and
it may be fairly questioned whether, all
things considered, Mr.. Edmunds, on ac-
count of his great eminence, wide popu-
larity and singular fitness for Presidential
duties, would not carry more of these
uncertain commonwealth than would
any candidate selected from some one of
them, but having no particular elements
Of strength beyond his own home. The
| names of Edmunds and Lincoln would
form ticket that ought to rally to it
every man who has ever voted with the
Republicans It would touch the high
| water mark of that Republicanism which
| has so superbly illustrated the annals OF
| the last quarter of a century and in which
| when it is uppermost, the masses still
have an abiding confidence. 1t wonld be
a ticket which could not, by any posi-.
| bility be matched on the other side. II
| would hush the voice of faction. 1t would
| leave no shadow Of excuse for any Repub
| lican to vote against his party or stay
| away from the polls. 1t would do more
it would secure the quiet support of ten:
of thousands of nominal Democrats who
have no wish to see the control of thu
nation turned over bodily to the sort o
political leaders who are just now at TIN
| front in Democratic councils.

Boston, June 4, 1873;

Boston, June 4, 1888.
To THE CITIZENS OF VERMONT:
When last visited your state in 1879
had one of the largest shows in the
world exhibited ten elephants, and per-
formances were given in one ring. At
that time l travelled with one train of
cars. Since that time my show has grown
to enormous proportions, my menagerie
is three times it's former size, l have
twenty-five elephants, performances are
given in three rings and on half mile
hippodrome track. I now find it neces-
sary to employ THREE TRAINS OF CARS, no
other show visiting Vermont this year
uses more than one; if any other mana
ger advertises that he uses more than
one train of cars go to the depot and see
for yourself the falsity of the statement.
My claims to your patronage are,
exhibit three times as many animals
three times as many actors, have three
times as many horses and three times as
! many railway cars as any show that viii
visit Vermont this year. Besides thou
| sand times better performance, the fac
| that I exhibit in Boston ten days is ;
| sufficient guarantee Of the merits ant
| magnitude of my show. On account o
| the great size Of Forepaugh's Museum
