GOVERNOR WERTS' ADDRESS.
To the Editor of The Jersey oitu Neps.-

To the Editor of The jersey Citu Neus:-
No more forcible or tronge language
was ever uttered by a Governor of New
jersey than that spoken by Governor
George Z. Werts. in the closing remarks
of MS inaugural address yesterday, In the
Opera House, Trenton, and which sent q
thrill of admiration and satisfaction TO
the minds and hearts OF the vast assem-
blage present. Said the GovernoI:-'1
propose TO make no pledge beyond that
of Il sincere and conscientious e%ndeavor
faithfully and impartially TO cha
the duties | now assume. May God bless
this new administration and grant peace,
happiness and prosperity to The State OF
New Jersey"
Words fifty and truthfully spoken, and
which will go Town the ages with q
sense of r%eyerential awe, that the Chief
Executive of the State of New Jersey
placed his sole reliance in a higher W
than that of man. May each and every
act of Governor Werts be stamped with
Divine approval is the sincere wish of
every citizen who has the welfare OF the
State of New Jersey at heart.
No unbiased person can read the in
augural address OF Governor Werts but
will be convinced that the trust reposed
in calling him to the high position as
Chief Executive OF this Stale has not
heen misplaced. The same qualifications
lie ulSpldy60 WILLIE III uuO INV az tAlo
circuit, or at the Supreme Court, is
alreany apparently manifest in his
address on assuming the reins OF State
government. II will be seen from his
address that our G overnment is en-
phatically a Governme Mt of the people in
all it's departments; that it purports to be
a Government of laws and not OF men,
subject, nevertheless, to the control anu
influence OF public opinion: that its safety
depends upon the intelligence, virtue,
independence aud moderation of the
people. L believe / do not over estimate
the value OF this state paper in saying
that the executive had in view the correct
theory, that a knowledge of the law, and
a devotion to its principles are as vital TO
a state as a republic, n lie at the very
foundation OF its strength.
No truer declaration was ever uttered
by the Governor of a great state than
that the vital principle of home rule is
violated where the rights of the people to
choose their own rulers is exercised by
another" Any departure from this
principle would be to cherish a govelling
vice under livery of virtue, and pay her
homage which would only crafty the
rapacity of the indolent aud cunning, to
the great wrong OF the law abidlug
community.
Governor Werts now enters upon his
term of office evidently with a determin-
alton to enforce all jusJ measures which
may emanate from the Supreme power in
the State, whether they nay effect the
person or propertv; that the functions of
legislation shall be carefully guarded,
aud that the future welfare of the COM
munity of The State of New Jersey shall
be Que of which The party who placed him
in the highest position within their gift

On his place lived a faithful negro,

thing but actual torture to death, and
Mr.. S. Chopin, the present wealthy own
er Of the estate, has preserved the cabin
with great care in the confident belief
that in time it would be an object of
national curiosity.
The cabin is of cypress logs and
covered with cypress boards and sound
as when built some forty years ago. 1t
is to be presumed that Mrs. Stowe used
the novelist's privilege of combining the
experience of several negroes in one, but
simply as a relic of the old slave times
the cabin will possess great interest.

Water Commission be rehabilitated.
This would be a great step to the

justice to Jersey City, Newark and

Tire Need of a New Aoueduct.

The people of Jersey City are daily
suffering from a great Inconvenience,
and a daily peril of incalculable mag
nitude hangs over them in the con-
dition of the conduits which lead
across the meadows from the Belle
vile water works to the city reser-
voirs. This aqueduct is wholly INSULT
Gent for the flow of %, 600, 900 gallons
of water and upwards in the twenty
four hours, even if it were in perfect
condition and capable of being strain
ed to its utmost capacity. During
the working hours of the day,
the city's consumption far exceeds its
capabilities. 1t overtakes the drain a
little by night; but it is only the Sun
day lull in the drain upon the reser-
voirs that enables it to keep up the
supply from weeks end to weeks end.
In seasons of heavy drought, like
the last week. it always falls alarm
inglv behind.
But this is not the worst of it. The
conduit is old. rotten, and in danger
of bursting any day. The moment it
goes, the city is face to face with a
water famine, for the Hoboken Water
Company can only supply about half
the demand.
1t is estimated that $500, 900 would
build a new main of ample capacity.
reliable strength, and properly pro-
tected from the weather--the present
n is not. This will have to be built
as a preliminary to the introduction
of any new water supply. 1t is an
absolutely necessary expense, which
the city must assume within the next
two years at furthest. We would
urge, therefore, upon che municipal
authorities and upon the repre-
sentatives of this County in the Legis-
iature, that the work be undertaken
in time. This spring is nom too soon.
Let there be, if necessary, a special
auueduct commission to build it. But
let us have the thing done at once
