Water Supplies

The Charleston people have TO draw their
wster from the bowels Of the esrth by
means Of artcsian wells. when once the
city Is fully supplied with water obtained
in that manner, Charleston will be the envy
Of all the ssrth--that Il, II, a. we suppose
will be the case, ell the water thus obtained
IL absolutely free from all substances
deleterious 10 human health. We take 1t
that though there may be different kinds Of
water brought up by Atesian wells, yet
none Of It contains such impui tiles d must
exist In all well water In eiiies and oil river
water flowing by largo towns before IL is
used.
= The following paragraph Is taken from
an interesting article in the Charleston
Nens and Courier. We quote:
"At the present time there Is an abun-
dance OF Artesian water for all purposes.
The reservoir 10 full, and the daily supply
far exceeds the consumption. Any one
who wishes 20 be satisfied OF this fact can
see for himself. The work will probably
continue on the new well for some weeks
longer, but the yield OF the two wells in
cient for ell demands upon the company
for domestic or fire purposes, and for III.
present sanitary needs Of the city,"
As We understand it, the daily supply
from only two wells Is perhaps three mil.
lions OF gallons. Indeed, the reservoir holds
no more, or, IL there are two reservoirs,
the two hold only six millions OF gallons.
ha- of
thousand. Richmond has population less
than forty per cent. larger; but one OF our
reservoirs holds forty millions Of gallons,
and the other would seem to be large
enough TO supply Charleston with water.
Two artesisn Iwells supply ali the de-
mands Of Charleston for water for domes-
tic or fire purposes and for the present
sanitary needs Of that city. An astonishing
statement In view Of the fact that these
wells cost lees than fifty thousand dollars
each, we think.
VIII not all large cities situated where
water can be obtained by sinking artesian
wells be led before many years to resort TO
such wells In order to get supply Of pure
water for drinking, cooking, &C., &C.?
The cost would be a. nothing compared
with the ipexprsssible satisfaction Of know
Ing at all times aud under ell circumstances
that the water was pure and clear. A city
Of ono hundred thousand inhabitants would
need not over million Of gallons Of water
per day for drinking and culinary purposes.
That IL, ten gallons to each man, woman,
md child. The most Of the water drawn
irom our Sssssvoh. OF any other We sup
pose, Is used 10 factories, stables. shops,
bathing-tubs, and water closets. In a word,
II 70 not used for culinary purposes, nor
for drinking. A separate service would be
needed, but - the pipes would be small,
the cost would NOT be great.

q, u. Butler.

General BUTLII once said that many Per.
sons had charged him with being a ssoun-
drel, but nobody had ever called him fool.
BUTLER, therefore, need not be expected to
make a fool Of himself this year. But
will he not do this very thing IL he
runs for President OF the United States
Il Il nos certain that BUT1EB knows, as
everybody else knows, that he could not
possibly get an electoral voter This being
the case, and the same being well known
10 him, Is II settled that BUTLER will allow
his name TO be used as candidate for Pre-
sidents We are inclined TO think that the
"true inwardnsss 4" OF his seemingly mex
plicable. conduct has not vet ben made
known to the public. II is not for US to
undertake TO explain his movements nor
his utterances. We can only surmise that
he Is more anxious for something else than
to be entered as losing horse in the race
for ehe presidency. II we are right in this
guess, he must soon disclose his purpose,
as the election Ia near at hand.
Mr.. CRANDiLL, editor OF the BUTLER
Greenback organ in Washington. isreport-
ed As saying that BuTLSE will take enough
votes from both BLAINE and CLEVELAND to
prevent either Of them from being elected.
Butthis Is indeed Idle bsastlng, since there is
no foundation whatever upon which TO base
such forecast. There is no State In the
Union which BurLER can possibly carry.
Consequently be viii receive not one single
electoral VOTE and, II not, Of course cannot
take votos enough from BLAINE and CLBvn-
LAND to prevent either from being elected.
Mr.. CRASDALL must be poor politician, or
else the reporter misunderstood him. or he
would not have made so ridiculous a pre-
diction.
General BrTLss himself hiss had a word
Or two to say In regard TO bis uni ustfable
conduct. lie manifests no consciousness
d having acted . traitors part. lie says
enc thing, however, that will afford plea
sure to u great many good Democrats
namely, that he owes no debt OF gratitude
70 amy Democratic organization, State or
national, because, rays be, in no camgaign
did he ever receive aid from the Demo
cratic national organisation, nor did any
Democrat from outside the State ever 20 to
Massachusetts, or say word In favor Of
BrTLEn or In favor Of the Democratic party
whilst be was running as Its unanimous
nominee" Inside Of Massachusetts.) Good
for the Democratic organization and for all
individual Democrats. That BUTLER Is
rcpudiated not In the South only but by
good Democrats everywhere is proved by
bis own assertions. Let him 20 TO his own
place. Let him run as q candidate for
President II Is shall please him so 10 do;
but let no party leaders, Democratic or Re
publican, buy of such man by any
promise Of high Official position to result
from bis Withdrawal.
