The Latest.-.Order RestOred...the

land Battery and a considerable part of the
militia were relieved from duty to-day. They
went home at once. By Sunday the addi-
tional police force of 1000 men will be ready
for service. Six regiments and several bat.
teries will remain on duty. Every day the
list of casualties is increased by the discovery
OF wounded persons who had been taken to
their homes and thus hidden away. Many
controversies have arisen as to the mistakes
of the officers in charge OF the military. 1t
Is generally thought that more severity at
the outset would have saved the city days of
turmoil and lessened the loss of life. Ex-
cept for the presence of the military and the
groups OF curious idlers, there is no appear
anee of disquiet The barbados in the
streets about the court house were removed
Wednesday and horse-c car travel was resumed
after nearly three days suspension. The
barricades in front of the Jail and on SYRIA
ouse street remain in place. The latest re-
vsed list places the number of dead at As
aud wounded at 138 While tho belief ia
general that no further violence is probable,
there is some apprehension among those
charged with the preservation of order.
Notes and IncAdents.
1t is noteworthy fact that a majority of
the rioters who were arrested were young
men well dressed.

Judge Hale's Verdict,

The Republicans who honored Matthew
Hale with nomination last year to the
supre me bench can hardly discredt his
character today or regard with indiffer.
ence the conclusions he reaches as to
Blaine's venality. Mr.. Hale being a
good enough lawyer in their estimation
to be a supreme judge, certainly would
be good enough judge of evidence to
make his opinion of the guilt Of Mr..
Blaine one to deserve the consideration
Of Rep ublican voters; and the manner in
which he presents the case against Blaine
affords further strong evidence that he
Is master Of the profession he practi
ces. Nothing would be better than the
force of his letter or stronger than his
marshaling of the case against Mr..
Blaine. To be sure, he presents but his
own conclusion upon the several charges,
but they are enumerated separately, and
the verdict given upon each is that of
an authority whose competency to weigh
and decide the questions is not to be
challenged by the r epublicans who so
lately endorsed his ability as lawyer
and judge.

In west Chester borough.
10 the Editors Of the Lancaster Igtelltg eHcer
An article in late issue OF your paper,
intimates that | fled the borough on the
day on which the entertainment OF
"Peck's Bad Boy " was to take place here.
Not expecting any difficulty before the
evening of that day, l attended, as
always do, the meeting of our medical
society wlich tool; place on that day NJ
the Lafayette hotel, in the city Of Phiia-
delphia, and returned 1T $40 p. NJ, in
time for all necessary action on the case.
1t is true that they gave their exhibition
after refused them license, but tho oTdi-
nance regulating such was imperfect and
rendered me powerless except TO impose q
penalty of $50 and there my authority
ended. You judge me wrongly in intmat-
ing that | left home to avoid or shirk
responsibility. No one who knows me
would accuse me of anything of that kind
in the discharge of my official duties, as |
have always observed the motto to "hew
to the line let the chips fall where they
may" In order to show that you do me
injustice / copy the ordinance which reads
as follows viz THAT no person or per-
sons shall be permitted to perform or
exhibit any play, show, spectacle, theatri.
cal entertainment, ornamental or artificial
curiosity, Wuere HnOuby Hlhy Oo ueIEauutu
for admission, within the limits of the
borough of West Chester, unless the same
be of decent and moral tendency: and
unless he. she or they first obtain
license from the chief burgess and
if any person or persons shall perform
or exhibit any play &3., where
money may be demanded for admission
without first obtaining license as afore-
| said, he, she or they so offending on con-
viction thereof, shall pay fine OF twenty
| dollars for each Offense."
You will thus see that my authority was
at an end, by the imposition Of fine Of
twenty dollars. Ia my judgment it is but
| poor compensation to the borough or
punishment to them for the disgrace in
| tlicted upon our people.
Had the ordinance warranted it, it
would have been suppressed at all hazards.
Respectfully,

YhiladeInhIa,a Filthy Water.

Life can have but few Joys to the Phil
sdelphian who is at all particular about
the water he drinks. The sickening
story Of the pollution of the Schuylkill
water by the many factories which line
it, banks from above Manayunk to the
point where 1t enters West Philadelphia,
has been ventilated with all its nauseous
details in the city press and If only half
OF It is true, there is the most crying
need for reform. The Philadelphia Press
on Sunday holds up another calcium
light on the foul city water by showing
that the Kensington pumping station at
the foot of Otis street, which furnishes
water to about $4,000 people in Ken
sington and Richmond, deals with water
that is worse for drinking purposes than
that Of the Schuylkill. The sewage of 600,.
600 inhabitants empties into the Delaware
directly, and the movement Of the flow
and ebb tides carries the water weighted
with sewage twice a day up and down
past the sucking pipe at the Kensington
pumping station. Filth Of the worst
kind is seen with the naked eye flowing
mp and down past the pumping station,
and 1t is not hard for the fancy to
picture the death dealing slime that lies
concealed under the waters surface.
The state of affairs has become so
alarming that Chief Engineer Ludlow,
of the water department, has determined
to abandon the Kensington station
before the end of the present month.
This, however, is very poor compensa-
tion for the multitudes who during the
next few weeks will be compelled to
drink the foul water with full knowledge
of its impurities. They can no longer
solace themselves with the adage "where
ignorance is bliss, it's folly to be wise,'
but must drink the nauseous, disease
breeding liquid with their eyes open.
A city that cannot supply its denizens
with good drinking water is admittedly
failure. No one expects the reservoirs
of a large city to be fed from limpid
mountain streams but the amount of
impurity that the sources of the reser
voirs' supplies contain should be such
that the attrition of the molecules of
water one with the other and against the
bed of the stream would neutalize it, at
least to the extent of making it g. for
drinking. As the city population in
creases and its importance as a manu-.
featuring centre becomes greater, the
evils enumerated above must grow more
alarming. In the end it may be neces-
sary to build an aqueduct far up the
Delaware at the Water Gap, as has been
suggested, away from all sources of con.
tamination. The taxpayers will foot the
bills cheerfully il they believe it is the
only way out of the difficulty, and the
publication of the present nauseous con.
dition of the city drinking water will do
much to hasten that consummation.

Two colored men giving the names OF
Robert Brown and William Brown were
arrested this morning on Buspicion of
being thieves. They were seen by the
telegraph operators Of tho Pennsylvania
railroad, at Dillervilio, to divide n large
sum OF money. Word was sent to the
tower, in this city, and officers were noti-
fed to be on the lookout for them. Officers
Ritcney and Specie went towards Diller-
vile to look for them but missed them. They
made an important discovery, in finding a
letter, memorandum book and shot bag
hidden under a log, on which they divided
the money. The book is tho property of
c. S. Chaplain, of Bloomsbury, Pa. and
the letter is also addressed 20 him. They
telegyaphed to Mr.. Chaplain and expect to
receive an answer during The day.
Officers Roadman and ReoB, who were
also informed of the suspicious manner in
which these colored mon acted, started in
the search for them. They went into
hautz's restaurant, at the railroad, aud
there the colOred men wero awaiting
breakfast, which they had ordered. The
officers took the men to the station house
and searched them. On the ono was found
$500 and on the other about S40.
They claim to belong to Baltimore and
say they only arrived in this city this
morning. 1t is believed that they got off
the fast line at Dillervi!le, this morning, at
which point the train runs slow. They
will be held until word ia received from
Bloomsburg.
