TVater Works.
There seems to be but one opinion with our people, and that is, we must have waterworks.
When and how we are
have them, are other questions, favor postponing the consideration o. them for a year or two, and others are in favor of building them
once. How
we are to do it, and how to get the money, puzzles the brain of most
of
us.
We have but little doubt that the city might issue an eight per cent, bond, and sell it at par, and thus got the necessary means to build the works, which will cost about $150,000. The interest on this amount would be $12,000 per annum. It
per
annum to pay the
expenses of the present Fire Depaitmeru. This would leave S4,000 additional to be srained by taxation. Certainly water rents for different purposes in the city, would pay this sum again into the treasury. Hence it will be seen at a glance, that we can build these woiks and not increase the present rate of taxation. Or rather, the rate of taxation would not have to be increased, on account of the Water Works. That being the fact, it seems to us steps should be taken at an early day to commence this work.
But should the city do it? This is an important question. "What is everybody's business, is nobody's business'." We have always noticed, that when a corporated city enters into an enterprise of this kind, it is not as well or cheaply done is not as economically managed, and as well taken care of, as when in the hands of a private corporation. Individuals give more attention to keeping their property in good condition and managing it with economical care, than do corporations. These water works after being built, have to be kept up forever. Would it not be wiser therefore for the city to grant a liberal charter to some of our enterprising citizens, and have them take the management of this work into their hands'? The city mighttake a portion of the stock, but let it be built and managed by private enterprise. It seems to us this would be the more prudent way, and would secure to the city all that she desires in the way of a continued supply of water. However, we at this lime only make these suggestions, and will, at another time discuss this question more at length.
Population of Cities.
The population of the five principal cities in this State, are as follows: Indianapolis, 40,G-iS Fort Wayne, 17,150 Evansville, 21,830 Terrc Haute, 10,202 New Albany, 15,205. We suppose the above figures are correct, and gives the correct number of people living in each of the above cities.
Indianapolis 40,G4S —what a falling off is there, my countrymen. Go there one short month ago, and say to any one, "What is your population?" and the response would come back, "Sixty-five or seventy thousand." The city was huge in the eyes of its denizens. Go toEvansville and propound the same question, and the reply would he, "thirty-live or forty thousand, sir." We do not know much about the peacock struttings of Fort Wayne. She is rather outside of civilization hugging close ou the northern border off of the great lines of travel, and her people are not seen or heard from much, but we. suppose she went up to something near the "forties." Terre Haute, modest as a girl of sixteen, never bragged much. Her knowing citizens knew all about it— for we have heard some of them say so, within the last few clays—they did not fix the standard much too high. Separately, Ave did not know much, but comparatively we went in strong. We knew if Indianapolis had a population of seven-ty-five thousand, Terre Haute had twen-ty-five thousand. If Evansville had forty thousand Ave had thirty thousand. If Fort Wayne had lifty thousand, we had forty thousand. So, comparatively, we thought big, but really and singly, we kneiu all about it.
We pity New Albany. Poor New Albany, tlie fourth city in the State, and by the next census will bo the eighth. The Ledger says Gov. Morton did it all. Naughty Governor, why did you do it thusly? The want of that enterprise which forced the editor of the New Albany Commercial to close up or starve, had nothing to do with it. The intelligence which votes an overwhelming majority for the Democratic ticket, has .nothing to do with it, ah! Poor New Albany, we do not know what will save 'her, but the erection of a Normal School on the bluffs overshadowing her. Do you see it, Mr. Ledger A little Normal School training might do her some good, and be the means of increasing her population. If that will not save her, she had better move up to the penitentiary.
Defeace of Paris.
The Prussians having surrounded Paris and cut off or interrupted its communication with the outer world, it becomes in teresting to inquire what are its means of resistance. It is to be observed that the Prussians have not yet taken a single fortress of importance. Pfalzburg, Verdun, Montmedy, Toul, Bitsche, Tliionville, Longwy, Strasbourg, and Metz all hold out stubbornly, and prove that whatever may be said of French strategies, her gunnei-s and artillerists show no lack of capacity for the defence of fortified cities. The defensive qualities of Paris grow on the public mind as they come to be investigated. Notwithstanding the brilliant victories of the Prussians in the open field, the only fortified places they have yet reduced are Lutzelstein, Marsal, Herney and the citadel of Loan. These are all insignificant and the stride from these to the attempt to reduce Paris is an enormous one. It is not to be supposed that the ancient walls of the cit\T, bordered by the boulevards, forming now the fashionable promenades of Paris, are to be taken into account in estimating the strength of the city as a fortress. When the exterior lines of fortification* cannot be held, it is probable that notwithstanding the eloquent threats of Victor Hugo, the city will surrender. This exterior line was erected during the reign of Louis Phillippe, at a cost of $100 000, 000, and drew much ridicule at the time on M. Thiers, ho was at the head of the administration. Now it forms his most effective argument in negotiating for a peace that shall not wholly sacrifice the honor of France. It consists of a continued line of bastioned fronts, ex-
,. circuit of twenty miles, around^'the enSre city Each of the
fronts

ninety-six in number, is aboutfour
hundred yards in length, and consists of an ordinary rampart and parapet, entirely open overhead, with a scrap wall thirty-three feet high, and flanked by heavily-armed bastions. Surrounding this is the dicth, which, when tilled, opposes a formidable obstacle to an as-

IMPORTANT LETTER 1E0M CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.
Why Jefferson Davis's Trial TV as Delayed—Is thfi Chief Justice Ambitious— Never for Immediate Amnesty.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18,1870.
The following letter from Chief Justice Chase has already attained such publicity that I am fully warranted in transmitting it to you for publication. At the same time, it is proper that I should ad vise you of my uncertainty as to whether the persons who have given it for publication elsewhere had received the proper authority of the writer for the use of a private letter. "To the Hon. T. IF. Conway: "MY DEAR SIK—I have received your kind letters, and am much obliged for the information they convey. I am particu'ariy touched by the proofs they ajloru of the attachment and confidence of the colored people. I have always said that to possess the affection and true respect of the poor and oppressed is a^ worthier object oi ambition than any otlicial position, even the highest. Inth\t ambition I am glad to know I am not likely to disappointed. I may be mistaken, but really believe that I have been credited with more ambition for place than feel. Not that I possess any uncommon indifference to the gratification derived from distinction, but, to me, great place has always seemed chiefly valuable as great opportunity for useful service. "No one can foresee for the future.
Congress has adjourned, and the members have gone home to confer witli their constituents. When they return, I presume they will take hold ot their work vigorously. Opinions differ as to what is best to be done. On one point there is little real division. All seem agreed that the Reconstruction policy of Congress must be ardently pursued, and that the earliest possible restoration of the Southern States to their old relations, upon the basis of Universal Suffrage and Equal Rights, is more desirable. I fewl more anxiety on this point than any other, because, this point once secured, all others may be reckoned as secured. The rights of labor, and the interest of labor, are at the"basis of all sound policy, and nothing is so important to theirs as the right to vote for the laborer. "Sincerely yours, S. P. CIIASE. "P. S.—I have never advocated Universal Suffrage and Immediate Amnesty to All. I have said that Universal Suffrage would reconcile comprehensive lenity with tranquillity and prosperity. I would have no more disfranchisements after the complete establishment of Universal Suffrage than is absolutely necessary to secure the new order of things and the new State Constitutions against overthrow. Those lately in rebellion have no more right to destroy the country by ballots than by bullets. "As to the trial of Jefferson Davis, the amount and kind of misrepresentation is astonishing. The facts are simple. I neither seek nor shun the responsibility of trying anybody. (My purpose is to do my duty honestly as a Judge, turning neither to the right nor the left.) While military authority was supreme in the South, as an incident of the war, and anybody could be tried by military commission, no Justice of the Supreme Court could properly hold a Court there. This state of things lasted from before the surrender of Lee, in April, 18G5, till the final suppression of the rebellion was proclaimed, in 1S66. Meantime, iu July, 1866, an act of Congress, by changing the circuits, had deprived the Justices of the Supreme Court of jurisdiction in the Southern States, and jurisdiction was not restored until March, 1867, when Congress passed the necessary act. Of course, from July, 1866, to March, 1867, neither the Chief Justice, nor any other Justice, could try anybody in Virginia. Any editor of any newspaper would have as'much right. At the time the act of March, 1867, wa3 passed, the Supreme Court was sitting in Washington, and the Chief Justice was bound to be there, but he wrote to the District Judge at Richmond, Virginia,^ that he would comedown and join him in holding the Court, as soon as the Supreme Court adjourned. This seems lo have been done by a sort of consent, and was done without any conference with the Ctiief Justice, and was a matter of which he had no control. The counsel on both sides were informed by the District Judge that the Chief Justice would come in a few days, and if a trial had been desired on either side, it could have been then had in that very month of May. In October, 1867, an adjourned term having appointed to be held at Richmond, on the 13th of November, the Chief Justice caused the parties to be notified that he would attend at that time, in order that the trial might take place, if the parties were willing. He did accordingly attend, but the parties were not ready. This was in November, 1867. Since then the
Chief
Justice has been obliged to attend the Supreme Court at Washington, One thing is certain, there has been no term at Richmond since the capitulation of Lee, which the Chief Justice could have attended, at which he has not attended and another thing is clear, that the trial of Jefferson Davis might at any time have taken place, that is, since his capture in May, 1865, either by military commission, when military commissions were being held for the trial of offenders under the authority of the President, or by a.court held by the District Judge. The Chief Justice, therefore, is in no sense or in the least degree responsible for the delay which has taken place. Until last May he could not try him, and since then he has always been ready. S. P. CHASE. "WASHINGTON,
January 1,186S."
WHEN the late Chief Baron Pollock went up to the Cambridge Senate House to see the honors list after the examination for Wranglers, he looked up and saw to his dismay that he was not at the top. His eye ran down three or four names, but still no Pollock appeared. "I'm sure I beat that fellow," he exclaimed as he saw the name of the fifth on the list, and he cast his eye up again, and there was Ins own name at the head of the list, obscured by a nail driven through it. He was Senior Wrangler—the highest honor Cambridge can give.

DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION
The Home for Friendless Women in iinius—Loss $16,000. That beautiful home for fallen women," a monument to the private benevolence and Christian liberality of our citizens, standing at the head of Tennessee street, sin ruins, having been destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. About 2 o'clock the alarm rang out from box 21, giving the the first intimation to the fire departmentthat theirservices were needed, although futile efforts were made for several minutes before to subdue the flames in the room where first discovered. A long time elapsed, owing to the distance to be traveled by the engines and the scarcity of water, before a stream could be brought to bear upon the burning building, and then it was too late to save it. ,5
Itseemi that the fire originated in the basement in the northwest corner of the house, and was first discovered among some shavings that had been deposited there. The alarm brought Mr. Hall, General Elliott and others, and aided by the inmates they confincd it for some time—nearly one-half an hour—to that one room. Had an engine then come, the fire could have been put out with but little loss. When the engines did arrive, however, the first floor had fallen in, and by the time the first stream was thrown the flames bad spread generally through the structure. Attention was then given to saving the furniture, etc., and nearly eveiything of value from the first and second floors were carried out. All the inmates, twenty-seven in number, lost more or less of their effects in the confusion, but they all escaped without personal injury.
Mrs. Susan Homey, the Matron, was overcome by the heat and excitment, and came very near being suffocated by the smoke. She was taken to a neighboring house, where prompt medical treatment restored her, although late last evening she was suffering very much srom her lungs, caused by the inhalation of heated air.
It seems to be generally conceded that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and one who had formerly been an inmate, and was at the time temporarily stopping at the house, is suspected, and is now under surveillance of the police. Her name is Miss Ella Foster, formerly from Seymour, in this State. She was an inmate of the Home some two years ago, but left for several reasons—one being a desire to live in a private family.
Some months ago she returned, but acain soon left, this time ou an ostensible visit to relations. Night before last she once more returned, and made application for admittance into the Home. The application had not yet been acted upon Mrs. Smith being absent yesterday at Plainfield, Hendricks county. It is asserted by the girls that, before Mrs. Smith's departure, Miss Foster became very much incenscd at something that was saiil to her concerning her reckless course of life, or perhaps use of profane language, and avowed she would be avenged before night. One of the girls employed in the lauudry-room asserts that she saw Miss Foster come out of the room where the fire originated only just a few minutes before the alarm was given. Another says that she was seen with the kerosene can, and evidently very anxious or excited over something besides, there are a dozen other rumors afloat concerning her supposed connection with the fire. An interview with her did not show any suspicious pretense. She talked to our reporter in an apparently straight-'orward manner, was Careful in her replies, contended that she had no possible cause of complaint or ill feeling against Mrs. Smith, (or "Auntie," as she called her') the matrons, or any of the inmates that she had always been treated with loving care, and exclaimed: "My God they don't think I'm mean enough to burn the Home, do they?"— referring to the Managers. Circumstantial evidence, however, is very strong, if any reliance can be placed upon her accusers (and the Managers contend they are very truthful), and it will remain for a court of justice to sift the testimony and determine the matter.
The Home was insured for $5,000 in the New York Security The loss will not exceed $16,000 in the aggregate, not deducting the insurance. Mr. James M. Ray, President of the Board of Trustees, thinks the wails, or the greater portion, are yet good, and wiil not have to be rebuilt.
Quite a number of the Managers and Trustees at an early hour yesterday afternoon, were cogitating the best means of rebuilding. We noticed Mrs. New, Mrs. Ray, Mcs. Vajen, and others, seemingly not one whit discouraged by this great blow to their noble christian work, and each one sanguine of an immediate reconstruction.
A number oftlie inmates of the Home were taken to the City Hospital the remainder were kindly cared for in private families so that there are none that will suffer for want of protection and shelter.
Mr.j.Horney, the matron, worked nobly to protect the public property of the Home, and iu doing so lost all her personal effects, so that she is almost destitute.
Some valuable property, such as jewelry, a handsome gold watch, and other things, was rescued by Tom Cameron, hoseman, at great personal risk, from the second story. The Chief Fire Engineer and his assistants, on their arri val, did all they could to protect proper ty so also did the police. 4
A meeting of the managers and trus tees lias been called for this morning at 9 o'clock, at the Young Men's Christian Association rooms, for consultation Prayers were offered in several of the churches last evening that this noble benevolence would not languish, and that the citizens would respond liberally to again rebuild the home.
The City Council donated to the orig inal building fund $7,500. It is probable that they will again vote a proper amount to aid in its re-erection. A SPECIAL AND FULL MEETING TO-DAY,
A meeting of the Trustees and Man agers of the Home for Friendless Women is called for this (Friday) morning at 9 o'clock, at the Young Men's Christian Association rooms, for prompt action in caring for the late inmates of the Home just burned (who are kindly received temporarily by the officers of the City Hospital), and for taking steps for rebuilding the Home.
JAMES M. RAY,President.
THE first velvet factory in the United States has been started by the French colony in Kansas, at the town of Franklin, eighteen miles south-west of Ottawa. The colony began operations last sum mer on the co-operative plau, and have already, beside their manufactory, comfortable dwelling stores, shops and farms under full cultivation. The pioneer in this enterprise, M. Veleton de Boissiere, coutemplates supplying his community witli other looms, not only to increase the manufacture of ribbons, but also to enlarge the products of his community by including sewingsilks, tassels, trimmings and other dress materials, which are fast becoming indipensable even* beyond the Mississippi.

This country is being crossed with numerous Railroads from every direction to Sioux City, Iowa. Six Railroads will be made to this city within one year. One is already in operation connecting us with Chicago and the U. P. Railroad and two more will be completed before spring, connecting us with Dubuque and McGregor, direct. Three more will be completed within a year, connecting us direct with St Paul
Minn.,
have
Yankton, Dakota, and Columbus
Nebraska, on the U. P. Railroad. The Missonr
River
gives us the Mountain Trade. TJ US itwil be seen that no section of country offers such unprecedented advantages for business, specu. lation and making a fortune, for the country is being populated, and towns and cities are beini built, and fortunes made almost beyond belief. Every man who takes a homestead now will

Eighteen years residence in the western country, and a large portion the time employed as a Mercantile Agent in tliifr country, has made me familiar with allth* branches of business and the best locations in this country. For one dollar remitted to me 1 will give truthful and definite answers to all questions on this subject desired by such persons. Tell them the best place to locate, and what business is overcrowded and what branch is neglected. Address,
