THE editor of the Omaha Bee, E. Rose
water, who was with Fitz-John Porter at
the second battle of Bull Run, and knows
whereof he speaks, expresses his firm be-
lief in Porters patriotism aud gives many
and cogent reasons for his faith. He closes
an exhaustive article, descriptive of the
battle, as follows:
have been Republican since that party
nominated General Fremont as Its standard
bearer on the Free Soil platform, but am
firmly convinced, by personal observation,
that General Pope himself Ia largely, II not
wholly, responsible for the disaster that over
took his army at the second battle OF Bull
Run. II was a serious blunder on ono side
and good generalship on the other. Had Pope
acted promptly when frst notified that the
rebels were In his rear at Manassas, he could
have gained nearly a whole day and headed
Stonewall Jackson on, with a fair prospect of
whipping him and capturing his army. TO
dispatch infantry mounted on fiat cars on n
Reconnaissance Is tho height OF imbecillty,
especially II he believed they were 10 check q
cavalry raid. Every subsequent maneuver
made the first blunder worse, and the end was
only the outcome OF an ill-considered and
poorly.conducted campaign, for which Fltz-
John Porter was made the scapegoat.

IT is favorable omen for General Lo.
gan that Grant has declared for him.
Grants side generally wins. General Lo.

AT last there is q prospect Of the long
promised increase of the water supply. The
vast work Of reservoir, dam and tunnel con-
struction, the rock drilling and shaft sink
ing, the surveying and excavating and the
innumerable branches of the work arc
being energetically carried on.
The management of Major Lydecker has
been severely criticized for undue deliber-
ateness and delay, but his policy has vindi-
Gated itself, and the work could scarcely
have been in more advanced condition at
this time or more intelligently carried on
than it is.
More than one hundred and fifty men are
constantly employed day and night horses
and vehicles enough for an army, and ma
chinery Of the most intricate character and
most recent invention, rock drills and
engines of vast proportions and immense
power
The prospect indicates the completion of
the work in about two years from its COM
mencement in December last, and in the
opinion of the Chief Of Engineers and Ma
jor Lydecker Washington will rejoice in as
perfect system and pure and healthful q
water supply as any city in the world.

The CRITIC is opposed to taking Gov
ernmont reservation for tho new City Post
office. None of them are suitable. All
that are large enough are not in the right
location. The building should be con-
structed large enough to meet the needs
not only Of the present but of tho future.
No other city in the Union, of equal size,
has so poor and inadequate postofice facili-
ties. 1t ought to have tho model Office,
not only Of the Union, but of the world.

The disintegration Of the Democratic
party of New York has commenced by
the withdrawal OF William Purcell
from the editorial chair of the Rochester
" Union aud Advertiser" leading
Democratic paper of Western New
York, and at the same time he resigned
as one of the Democratic electors of the
State. Mr.. Purcell was an influential
Democrat and a Catholic, and year
ago was a leading candidate for Score
tary of State. But Cleveland and his
machine did not want Purcell, and to
suit the machine Purcell was defeated
and Daniel Manning the Governor 8
henchman, WAS selected. The conse-
quence was that at the election which
followed Manning was buried under a
Republican majority of $4,000 while
the remainder of the Democratic ticket
was elected by nearly that much ma
Jority. This occurred long after Cover
nor Cleveland received his enormous
majority of 1872, 600 that turned his head
as we'll as the head of his party. 1t
was seen though that something had to
be done to placate Mr.. Purcell, and SC
the Manning machine had him placed
on the electoral ticket. But Purcell
was not 80 easily pleased and rather
than be placed in a false position as
editor of Democratic paper, expected
to support Cleveland, he asked for and
was granted few weeks vacation and
at the same time sent in his resignation
as a Democratic elector. 1t remains t.
be seen what effect the resignation will
have upon the election in that State
but such proceedings are hardly indi
cative of the peace and harmony thai
is said to prevail.
