PD3LISHID BT TEI EYAXSVHLE JCJIISAL COMPANY,

MOXDAY, JULY 11, ISTO. Yater Works A Gigantic Swindle. T c call the attention of the taxpayers of EvansYille to the advertise ment of William Smith, proprietor ot tie National Foundry and Pipe 'Tories of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, one of the largest establishments in the Uoited States. Mr. Smith far-ni?-5:d the pipes lor the Holly Water V,o(i:s ia Jackson and Kalamazoo, Micl igan, and Peoria. Illinois. Also for Watertown, New York. Tho reputiion of the establishment is second to that of no other in the country. Mr. Smith visited our city for the purpose of bidding on the works as -3 wea utterly tstonished to learn that the contract had been awarded, "escd, sealed and delivered," without a Bicgle bid being solicited, and wilbout advertisement of the intention of the Council to award the contract. As we have repeatedly stated, Sd ithis not been denied, theconduct of the Council in this particular is itterly indefensible and unpardonrMe. There is one point developed by Mr. Soiith'a card to which we desire 3speeiaUy to direct attention. In the written contract entered into between Sir. Weir and Mr. Van Riper, the weight or thickness of the iron pipo is not speeiuad at all. Neither i3 any obligation imposad upon the contractor to cement the pipe go a3 to prevent it from corroding and rusting. Wo aro informed by Mr. Smith that t'"? weight of tho pipe specified in Mr. Weir's contract ought to be about 1,300 tona, but that it may be made to stand all the tests required at a weight not exceeding 1,000 tons t difference of 300 toa3 between what ought to be and may be. This difference, amounting in dollars and cents to some $20,000, is a handsome margin which the contract which has been " signed, Eealed and delivered " places in the hands of the contractor. This is only an average specimen of the manner in which the shrewd yiung Councilman from the Second Ward ha protected " the interests of the tax-payers." There is yet another point to which we desire the attention of our taxpayers, viz.: the smallnass of tho pipe used. This may be mora fully appreciated by a contract between the pipe contracted for by our city and that used ia Jackson, Michigan. Jackson is a town of about ten thousand inhabitants. It is supplied with water by the Holly system, and has about ten mile3 of pipe laid in the streets. Of this ten miles, we find the following sizis used: 5,230 feet 15-inch pipo. 3,600 feet 12-inch pipe 8,000 feet 10-inch pipe. Balance, 8, G and 1 inch pipe. Now compare this with the WeirVan Riper contract, and let us see how these gentlemen havo provided Evansville a city of thirty thousand inhabitants with water. Oar pip9 is divided as follows: 1,150 feet 20-inch pipo. 1.875 feet lG-iach pipe. 1,500 feet 12-inch pipe. Jackson, with ten thousand inhabitants and ten milea of pipe, with much Emallsr engines, pumps, &c , has 1G.SS0 feet of pipe over tea inches in diameter. Evansville, with her thirty thousand consumers of water, twelve miles of pipe, (which must 60on be in -creased to twenty), large engines and pump3, has only 1,400 feet of pipe ex eeeding ten inches in diameter. Now it strikes U3 that Jackson has been victimized in paying for pipo largely iu excess of all requirements, or we have been guilty of laying pipe that will provo utterly inadequate to the wants of our city. . We think most men familiar with the Eizo of water pipes in other cities will say that Evansville will prove the victim of blundering ia this particular. But while this, perhaps, may Le regarded a3 only spsculstion on oar part, the proposal of Mr. Smith is a substantial fact. By it the tax-payers may estimate the handsomeness of tl.e job Mr. Weir has secured from Dur complaisant Council. There can bo no question, we think, ia view of ill the facts that we have submitted, iht Mr. Weir will receive the nice jam of about forty thousand dollars, irer and above what tho amount )f work specified in his contract ?onld be contracted for to other parses. That Mr. Weir will do more ;han his contract calls for is a very icabtfnl proposition. That h will put down pipes in weight and strength in excess of what the contract calls for, nobody with a thimble-ful of brain3 believes for an instant. He will use pipe that will stand the tests specified, and no Letter. Mr. Smith shows that such pipo may bo laid down at an actual saving to the city of forty thousand dollars on Mr. Weir'a contract, and still leave a fair margin of profit to the contractor. In view of these facts, we say to the tax-payers of Evansville, arc we rt justified in characteizing the Weir-Van Iliper contract as a shameful swindle of the city to the extent of at least fifty thousand dollars. From the Seymour Time. v.?tEsly, fr'ejmoar and ErausTlIIe Uaflrozd. Tic eDcouragine report brought lac : by Messrs. Blish and Pattison. froT".i their examination of the country Vt? "en here and Evansville, renders mcT6 certain the construction of this road. Starting from thia city they found a route entirely practicable to tfce J!u?catatuck, leaving DudleytowD a little to the left or east, and so avojdtng arjy engineering difficulties, wliicn might arise from encountering fr e obstacles interposed by Chestnut KiJ;v Jhis route would strike on

tho edge of Tampico, or so very near, that that villcgo would practically have the road running through it, crossing the Mnscatatnck at or near the mouth of Delancy's Creek; following up the valley of the creek to with a comparatively short distance of Salem. This gives a route to Salem, the eounty seat of Washington Coun

ty, that is practicable, and presents no difficulties in its construction which would require any great amount of engineering c-kiil to surmount. Bv tb'S roue up Delany's creek,. the knob3 of Washington County are avoided, or rather a notch through them is made uso of by which all heavy grades are escaped. Frm Salem to Paoli, county seat of Orange County, the route lies over a fine section cf farming country free from any difficulties in construction; passing through Jasper, the county seat of Dubois County, the route lies close to the celebrated mineral springs of West IJaden and French Lick, which aro only waiting for railroad communication to open them up to the world, and render them famous for their medicinal qualities; from Jasper the route pas3e3 southwest of Bconville, the county scat of Warrick County, and thence in a southwesterly direction to Evansville. The people of Boonville aro particlarly interested in railroad matters Warrick couatyhavingjustveteda tax of one hundred thousand dollars to aid a road from Newbursr on the Ohio river, to Boonville; in fact the peoplo of that town are 6hut out from all railroad connections end arc bound to get out in some way. The leadir men at once interested themselves in this route seeing at once that it is the the route which they need. The route as above sketched, passes turouua the county seats ot Washing ton, Oraoge, Dubois and Warrick, the four counties which lie between this city and Evansville. the south western termination of the road. It passes through tie counties the long est way, and through sections entirely destitute of railroad communications. On its line are situated many thriving and enterprising villages which wait only for the location and equipment ot the road to rapidly increase in bus iness and population. The people along the whole of this lice are wide awake to tbo import ance of this route. At every point of any size, committees were appointed who accompanied the gentlemen from this place and pointed cut the most feasible locations, and took creat in terest in showing the different routes through the several sections which tho road could take, leaving the gen tlemen to discover the most practica ble one, keeping in view the great general object of the road. Nor were the people living on the direct line pissed over by Messrs Pattisoa and iilish, the only ones interested in securing the road; committees were sent irom the communities several miles from tho direc route, request ing tne gentlemen to pass their way and view the countrv, urging that they must have a Northeast and Southwest road running through the counties and that all would work heartily in support of the route which would be naally adopted. As an indication of the earnestness of the people along th'13 route, in every county between here and hvansville committee3 were appointed to raise a subscription ot thirty dollars a mils to pay the expenses of a preliminary survey, and while there were two rout33 through portions of a county, tne people along cacu line proposo to pay for a survey of each, that there may be no dimcuHy in securing the beat; prominent and responsible men in each county stand pledged to pay their county's portion of the expense of suoh Eurvey, whether a dollar is raised by subscription or not. If this doesn't indicate earnestness and a desire for railroad connections, what will. Messrs. Blish and Pattison are both E radical railroad men ; tho former aving followed, as a profession. Civil engineering for a number of year3, being professionally connected with the construction of railways in that capacity. After a careful examination of the route, and a ten days' survey of engineering difficulties to be encountered between here and Evansville, it is his opinion that the road is cot only feasible, but also that it can be constructed as cheaply as the Jeffersonville & Indianapolis Road, which was tho road built with tho least expense of any in tho State. The grades he says aro all light, rone being heavier than those of the Jeff Road, and tho insurmountable barrier in tho Washington County knobs, which has heretofore been supposed to exist, is discovered udou examination by gentlemen qualified by experience and professional train ing to pronounce aa opinion, to present no obstacle whatever, and that the first twelve miles south of the Muscatatuck, and between that stream and Silem ere the easiest to build of any portion of tho road. A hasty examination was made on the return of a more northern rou'e. throush Washington County by Mr. Pattison, oassiDz tnrousrn eaituio or uaroDDelis bur, and passing through Vailonia and Brownstown to Seymour. Of this route we will sp?ak at some fu ture tiui? FiOm the Chicago Post. The Ifew Constitution. At last the citizens of Illinois have a Constitution to livo under. We have had no adequate power since we became a State, to regulate the government of counties and cities, to control railroad?, or to restrain the Legislature, except by the epproval or condemnation irregularly expressed in a popular election. Tho recurring ballot box ha3 been about our only fundamental law. The so-called Constitution was long ago worn out, and left a dead letter on the books. The Bill of llights provides, in ad dition to the usual restrictions and limitations, that no person shall be denied civil or political rights on accouut of religious opinion ; and that no grant of special privileges by the Legislature shall be considered irrevocable. Some of the most important of tho new provisions aro summarized thus: Eligibility. No felon 13 eligible to office. Members of the Legislature must take an "iron-clad oath," swearing that they have not paid any bribe to secure election, and they will not accept a bribe for any vote. Apportionment. The members of the KeDato and Assembly shall bo apportioned once in ten years according to population tho Senate to consist of 51 members, and the House of 153 members. All counties having threefifths cf a ratio are entitled to at least one Representative. Provision i3 made against gerrymandering. Appropriations. No appropriation is permitted in any private law; and bills makine appropriations for the pay of any office shall not contain any other provision. No money can be drawn from the State treasury except in pursuance of law; and no money allowed to do diverted wnen once appropriated, L'elti Due the State. The Legisla ture shall cot release, remit or extinguish tbe indebtedness or oblisation

of any corporation or individual to ' I3I ijAXiiJlAfliyt the State or to any municipal corpo- J " " ' ration therein. The existing abue ; -- -tjT r TVETTtf which this discontinues well known. E&S. E. E. BAKfl Ai &3 Extra Compensation. The Legisla- j ture shall not grant extra comppnsa- j -?r-tion in any form to any public officer, I agent or contractor, after service has ! "TGTV Ol'k, been rendered on a contract made.

This will prevent a good deal of gen- j fnnA rs? M i tiui.jf L. Y - ' Special Lcgislafron.UiQ .Legisla-! tura shall not pass any local or special aws relative to railroad charters. roao.s, terries, cities or towns, manu factures, divorces, county seats, com mon schools, cr any other case where a ceneral law can be made applicable." Thi3 will ultimately save millions of dollars to the State if conscientiously enfo-ced. "State Aid: The State shall not oan its credit, nor in any way be come responsible for the debts or lia bilities of individuals or corporations. The Veto. Two-thirds of all the members elected to the Legislature are necessary to pass a bill over the Governor's veto. This is the Congressional rule, but only a majority are required under existing laws in this ctate. Supreme Court. The Judges of the State Supreme Court are increased from three to seven. Their salaries are increased from $1,200 to $4,000, and the Circuit Judges from $1,000 to $3,000. No fees or perquisites al lowed. Revenue "The General Assembly shall havo no power to release or discharge any county, city, township, town, or district whatever, or the inhabitants thereof, or the property therein, from their or it3 proportionate share of taxes to be levied for State purposes, nor shall commutation for such taxes be authorized in any form whatsoever." County Taxes. County authorities shall never assess taxes the aggregate of which shall exceed seventy-five cents for each $100 valuation, unless authorized by a vote of the people of the county. No city, county, township, school district, or other municipal corporation, shall ba allowed to incur indebtedness for any purpose to an amount, includiog existing debts, exceeding 5 per cent, on the value ot tho taxable property therein, the value to be ascertained by the previous assessment for State and county taxes. County Cffia rs. The clerka of all courts of record, the Terasurer, Sheriff, Coronor, and Recorder of Deeds of Cook County, hereafter elected, sTTall receive salaries to be fixed by law, which shall in no case be as great as tho compensation of a Judgo of ths Circuit Court; and all fees and emoluments in exoess of that sum shall be paid into the county treasury. Legislative Pay. The pay of the members of the legislature to be fixed by law, after the firbt session, and no Legislature can change such compensation except for future Legislatures. All allowances for stationery, newspapers, and other perquisites shall be limited to $50 for each member. The Rights of Stocklwlders.The General Assembly shall provide by law that in all elections for Directors or managers of incorporated companies, every stockholder may vote in person or by proxy for the nuoiber of sharc3 he holds for as many persons a3 there are Directors to. be elected, and may concentrate the whole number on any one candidate, or distribute thera as be may think fit. The IiialUs of tie rullic.The rol ling stock and other movable proper ty of railroads shall bo considered personal property, and subject to ex ecution and sale. iN o railroad corpor ation shall consolidate its stock or franchise with any other corporation owninir a parallel or competing line. No railroad corporation shall issue stock or bonds, except for money received and applied to its corporate purposes. JFcrr houses. All railroads arc compelled to deliver graiu in bulk, at any elevator to which it may be consigucd, if the same can bo reached by any track which can be used for that purpose, and to allow connections to be made with their track for thi3 purpose. Owners or managers of warehouses 8ha!l make weekly statements under oath, and all holders of receipts shall bo at liberty to examine the books at any time. Aid to Railroads. No county, city, town, township, or other municipality shall ever become subscriber to the capital stock of any railroad or private corporation, or make donation to, or loan its credit ia aid of, such corporation. County Seats. County scats may be changed by a two thirds vote, but the question shall not be tested oftener than onca in ten years. The Constitution will go into effect oa the 8th of August next.
