Washington until some time in Dscem-
Der. As stated in these dispatches some
days ago, his orders were TO return
to the United States by the most
direct route. AS there Is no
line OF steamers plying bstween Rio and
the United States. unless the Admiral
took passage on TRAMP which is inn
proDable. he would be obliged 10 60 first
TO Europe and thence embark on one OF
the transatlantic lines for New York.
All of this would consume more than n
month, whsn allo vance is made for time
lost in waiting for connections, so that
there Is no reason. as yet. to complain
Of delay on the part of the Admiral In
obeying his instructions. AS time runs
on ir appears that q rev ulsiou OF feeling
has set In. touching the Admirals con
duct at Rio. and there are indications that
the persons who were quick to condemn
him, are now disposed TO withhold jn ig~

opportunity TO make his defense. 1t Is
believed ,nat this is the reason why Sec
re arg Herbert has as yet made no desig>
dation of au officer TO succeed Admiral
Stanton In the command Of the SouthAt-

iirst-class system Of water works

aleeide4 unanimously to engage the
=ssrya. ICES If Messrs Rawlings Il Du
sbraiIle and the necessary ordinance
and CONTRACT for completing the
@agreement will bc attended to
promptly. The city will thus be
furnished with a water works sys-
ten .l,nply sufficient for its present
needs-ffre hydrants and domestic
service. The charges are very
reasonable, when compared with
prices paid by our neighbors. The
success of their electric light sys-
TEN induced the belief that Messrs.
Rawlings & DubruiIle will not
disappoint us in the system Of
water works that they will soon
place in our midst. The costs Of
course will haveto be borne by the
property holders, but the time has
evidently come when this outlay of
money was essential to our exis-
tance.
