are willing to risk an advance ot §170,000 to construct these works, are alone anxious that they shall have customers secured, and that the water shall be used lor the benefit and comfort of the people olthe city. With these considerations,it is proposed that a contract be made with the City Council for the transfer of this stock, as above proposed, in consideration of which the water works company binds itself to furnish pure filtered water, free of charge to the following public institutions, for a period of fifty years, viz: To all the school buildings of the city present and future, public and denominational to the public market houses, existing or to exist to all present city offices, or those which may be added to the Council chamber, for the use of the members to the city engine houses, and stables attached thereto to one city fountain, which may be established hereafter for the use of citizeus and strangers within Terre Haute, one drinking hydrant on each square of the City.

This, it will be admitted, is paying liberally for the advance which the city is asked to make in order the secure the success of the enterprise. Be it remembered that in fifteen years from this date we shall have twenty school buildings in thirty years we shall have forty and be

fore

the expiration of the charter we may count on fifty. In estimating the other places, and the growth of the city, and the free use of the water at all of them, it must strike the Council that the city will find an ample return for this advance to secure the construction of the works. We proprose to give a generous consideration for the present aid which we ask at your hands. Cities and communities have long lives, aud can afford to extend present assistance to great and important enterprises reaping ample advantages in the future. These advantages will survive long after the present generation shall have passed away. What individuals hazard iu great improvements is but for a few years at most. Jt is a risk which but lew are willing to venture upon, and yet fewer able to make, injustice to themselves. With the aid asked, we can promise a prompt accomplishment of the great enterprise,so much needed to make a residence in our city the most desirable in the West,

The Council met iu special session at the Council Chamber last evening, pursuant to previous adjournment, to consider the water works question, as noted in the GAZETTE'S report of last meeting. Every member of the Board was present, as was His Honor, Alexander Thomas, Mayor of the city, presiding.

Mr. Hager presented the following communication, the substance of which was given in the last report published in this paper: To His JIon0r the Mayor and City Council:

The undersigned, President of the Terre Tluute Water Works Company, organized under the ordinance of March, 1871, beg leave to communicate to the Council the present condition of our organization. We have secured a tract of land near the Wabash river above the bridge of the Terre Haute, Alton & St. Louis Railroad Company, on which to erect our works, and an eligible point for the water supply of the city.

This enterprise, we need not say to the Council, is an untried one requiring a prudent caution on £be part of those who shall invest their money in it. While it is 111 some sense a public work, it has to rely mainly upon the patronage ot the people of the city, and this is also an untried experiment. The advance of two hundred thousand dollars to construct the works, or such further sum as may be deemed sufficient, is an undertaking which but few ar« disposed to engage in, unless some guarantees are offered to s:vve them from absolute loss. Private citizens have not the means to invest, for along series of years, in works of this character. Lor this reason, we have found great difficulty in inducing the citizens of Terre llaute to make large subscriptions to the stock. They are content to take one, two, three, four, or live shares, throwing upon a few men, perhaps two dozen in all, the option of letting the whole enterprise fail, or embarking large sums in this most necessary water supply. Many of us believe that tiie time will come, though perhaps distant in the future, when these water works will pay a fair dividend on tho investment. We are prepared to act upon this hope, if the City Council will give us some encouragement to begin and prosecute this work to a speedy completion.' lam authorized in saying that a number of our citizens can be induced to undertake this enterprise, if the Council will engage to transfer its stock in the water works company to the company itself/o?a valuable consideration. The parties who

ance of the capital stock, which is $220,000 will be promptly made up. This is independent of the city's subscription.

The company desire to proceed with the works, and hope to be able to do so within a short time. Respectfully,

JNO. S.

BEACH, Prest.

Terre Haute Water Works Co.

Mr. Coats moved that'the communication be received and spread upon record. Being duly seconded and put to the usual vote, the motion prevailed.

Mr. Hager then presented the proposed waterworks ordinance, which was read as follows: An ordinance to aid the Water Works

Company of Terre Haute to secure the construction of watfer works by a joint stock company, and for the supply of the school houses and public buildings with pure and wholesome water. Be it ordainedby the Common Council of the City of Terre Haute, That the proposition WaterAVorks Company, by the President thereof, under date of March 19, 1872, asking a transfer of the stock subscribed by the city to the capital stockof the Terre liaute Water Works Company, on the condition named therein, be and the same is hereby accepted.

SEC. 2. That the Mayor, on the reception of said stock, properly executed and delivered to him, be directed to enter into a contract with the President and Directors of said Terre Haute Water Works Company, on the basis of the proposition submitted by said company, and to transfer the stock so held by him for the city of Terre Haute to the saicUyater works company, in consideration OT the free water to be furnished to all the school buildings, city offices, engine houses, market houses, Council chamber and all school buildings and city buildings, and one public fountain, hereafter to be erected and one drinking hydrant on each square of the city, free of cost, for a period of fifty years or during the existence of the charter of the Terre Haute Water Works Company.

SEC. 3. That should the city of Terre Haute determine to purchase said water works, as is provided in section six of the charter, it is expressly understood that the Terre Haute Water Works Company shall receive for its property, an amount as provided in the charter, less one thousand dollars per annum, on ten thousand dollars for each ten years, as the charter runs, and so on to the end, from the completion of said water works:

Resolved, That the City Council grants a further extension of time of six months to said Water Works Company to complete said works.

SEC. 4. Any emergency existing for the prompt taking effect of this ordinance, all rules hindering the-same, are hereby suspended and the same be declared in force from and after its passage, and publication in one or more of the daily newspapers of Terre Haute.

Mr. Forrest moved to strike out the emergency clause. Mr. Wbitaker seconded, whereon Mr. Forrest made a few remarks iu support of his motion and counselling deliberation aud time in the matter of acting on the water works ordinance thought that it would be to the interest of the public for the Council to strike oui the clause of the ordinance under consideration. Mr. Hager warmly favored the ordinance, and addressed the Council in behalf of the passage of the same, and against striking out the emergency clause of the ordinance. He thought that the question of water works had been before the Counil long enough to have the matter decided once for all. The speaker assumed the position that the works are badly needed, and should be had, or words to that effect, as we failed to get the language of either of the above gentlemen.

Mr. Peddle—As I understand this question, there is a proposition from the Terre Haute Water Works Company to the City of Terre Haute by the Council, to transfer the $50,000 capital stock subscribed by the city to the capital stock of the company, in consideration of the said company furnishing water for a term of years to all the public buildings, offices, etc. of this city. I also understand that the stockholders have $103,000 subscribed to the capital stock of the company. With these I believe we are joint stockholders. Then why did Mr. Beach, President of the Company, not •furnish us with a list of the names as he should have done. I think it is important that the Council should understand this, aud know who those subscribers are. I wished this morning to see this thing pushed through. Under the circumstances, however, as this Council is soon to go out, I don't know as it would be any great detrimen to the company to wait until the new Councilmen are elected and take their seats. They will come fresh from the people, and will probably better represent them in this matter. At any rate, I would like a list of the names of the stockholders before I vote on this matter.

The ayes and noes were then called,on the motion of Mr. Forrest to strike out •emergency clause, resulting in a tie, the vote standing as follows: Ayes—Forrest, Miller, Peddle, Reese and Whitaker —5. Noes—Coats, Crawford, Oilman, Hager and Walsh—5.

The Mayor arose and said—Gentlettian: It was understood by me to-day, that there was an understanding by the Council to make a tie and throw this responsibility on me. I am uow ready to face the music, and shall do it my own way. [The Mayor then read the following preamble and resolution.—CITY EDITOR.]

WHEREAS, The Terre Haute Water Works Company, by their President, JohnS. Beach, Esq., has presented to this Council a proposition to transfer the $50,000 stock held by the City in said W. W. Co. to the said Company, in consideration of which the said Company will furnish to the city, water free of charge for all city Offices, Market Houses, Station House and stables, School Houses, which now

Qj. may hereafter exist in the

city for a period of fifty years, also one public fountain, whenever the city should see proper to erect one, they also propose to furnish water for one drinking Hydrent on each square in the city where the water pipes shall be run. Now as this proposition is one that involves special taxation, where the return, it is not to be contended will equal the amount that the city will have to pay, aud where such special taxation will beof especial interest to the people, it certainly would be the part of wisdom that the people should be consulted, and as there is an election to ue held in less than one month from this time, in which such proposition can be submitted to the vote of the people. Therefore

Resolved, That the water works question be submitted to a vote of the .people on the first Tuesday in May, 1872.

Resolved, That at said election there be a separate ballot cast by each voter for the water works, on which shall be written or printed, as follows, "for the water works proposition," by those who javor the same, and the words, "against the water works proposition," by those who do not favor the same.

Resolved, That the water works proposition, and the ordinance presented tonight, be published, that the people may have the subject fairly before them, thereby they may be able te judge for themselves and vote accordingly.

Mr. Hager—I arise to a point of order I don't think the Mayor has any right to offer any resolution to the Council. If he desires these resolutions, he should have put them in the hands of some member of this Council.

The Mayor—Will the Council select a chairman? I am ready to flght my own way. I vote aye on the emergency clause.

Mr. Coats was here cailed to the chair, and the Mayor assumed a position by the side of the chair, and again prethe resolution above alluded to.

Objected to by Mr. Hager. Mr. Coats said that the Mayor had no right to offer any resolution, either when presiding or otherwise or that he always so understood the ruling of the Council

Mr. Hager—I move we adjourn, which motion, being duly seconded, was voted down. Mr. Reese then offered the resolution of Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Whitaker moved its adoption.

Mr. Thomas—I will say, I drew them up after I came here to-night, and have got a right to speak. They may not be drawn up properly, for was talking to others around me, and there may be some slight errors but what I wish to present is correct. In voting as I have this evening, I wish it understood that I vote in my official capacity as Mayor of the city. I know that there is very strong opposition to this ordinance, to be taken into consideration. You, gentlemen of the Council, representing the people of your wards may vote in favor of this proposition. I will not, as Mayor of the city. After such clamors as I have heard about this matter. Since last Saturday, I shall not vote for the proposition now. But iu the May election, I will endorse it in my' individual capacity as a citizen of Terre Haute, or I will do what I can in the way of paying my share of assessment to incur the expense of a special election before that time and do what I canto carry it. As a representative of the people, however, and in my official capacity and knowing how this matter has been cauvassed, even on the street corners of the city, and that too unfavorably to the proposition, I shall not vote for the proposition. When I vote at the polls, I will vote for myself. But here I vote for the people and I wish to comply with their desires so far as I can ascertain.

Mr. Hager—I think these resolutions should be postponed until next meeting. Mr. Thomas—I don't wish it understood that I am opposed to water works. I am directly in favor of them. I am anxious for them. I now vote for the people. When the question comes up at the polls I will vote for myself.

Mr. Hager—I don't expect to go before the people, and I am not afraid anyhow. Mr. Crawford anxiously inquired if the special committee appointed at the previous meeting, in the matter of water works, by the Mayor, were discharged, or whether the same should be continued. Discharged by consent.

The Mayor—I think the gentleman from the Fifth Ward (Mr. Peddle) made a strong point awhile ago.

Mr. Hager—impulsively—That is the very question I asked the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad, aud never got an answer.

Mr. Forrest—We don't have to pay anything until the road is done. Mr. Hager—All the assurance they gave us was that they had plenty of money. [Laughter.]

Mr. Forrest—And they had plenty of it. Mr. Coats—They had mon6y enough to furnish their iron.

Mr. Forrest offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the City Engineer be authorized to advertise for bids to make a culvert under Third street, near Crawford street, in accordance with M. S. Freeman's patent, provided said Freeman will furnish a model of said patent. Adopted.

Adjourned.

Dost Like the Parallel?

It is just about a century since Junius assailed the Marquis of Grauby in the following words: "It has lately been a fashion to pay a compliment to the bravery aud generosity of the Commander-in-Chief at the expense of his understanding. They who love him least make no question of his courage, while his friends dwell chiefly on the facility of his disposition. Admitting him to be as brave as a total absence of all feeling and reflection can make, let us see what sort of merit he derives from the remainder of his character. If it be generosity to accumulate in his own person and family a number of lucrative employments to provide at the public expense for every creature that bears the name of Manners to heap promotions upon his favorites and dependents, the present Commander-in-Chief is the most generous man alive."

While the Marquis of Granby was writhing under the wounds of this terrible hidden enemy, Sir William Draper rushed forward with a rash but chivalrous defense. "Hew," asked Sir William, "are any man's friends or relatives to be provided for but from the influence aud protection of the patron? It is unfair to suppose that Lord Granby's friends have not so much merit as the friends of any other great man if he is^generous at the public expense, the public is at no more expense for his lordship's friends than it would be if any other set of men possessed those offices." We record this historical contest just now because Glen. Grant, accused, like Lord Granby, of improperly favoring hir relatives, hasfouBd a Sir William Draper in the editor of the Frankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth, who repels the charge ot nepotism in words the counterpart of those we have just cited: "We have a flood of circulation from the Democratic independent, press about Gen. Grant's appointment of his relatives to office. We have no sympathy with this clamor. We look upon the action of Gen. Grant in that regard as

ffraiseworthy

rather than objectionable,

his relatives are capable and honest, it is a tribute to his manhood that he gave a dozen of them positions in the distribution of the patronage of 4,000 offices. Some of them probably needed this help as badly as anybody, and he would have shown alack of family affection and

care if he had turned a deaf ear to their applications." Sir William Draper's letters injured his friend so much that he was civilly requested to write no more and if the President has any prudent advisers, we presume that an extinguisher will promptly be put upon Sir William's Kentucky imitator.—New York Tribune.

The claimant still asserts his ability to prove his identity with Roger Tichborne.

Constantinople dispatches announces the arrival of Gen. Sherman and Lieut. Grant. They are guests of the Government.

LONDON, April 9.—It is reported here iu well-informed Government circles that the foreign office has dispatches from Minister Thornton at Washington to the effect that in a recent interview between President Grant and himself, on the sub-, ject of the Alabama claims, the former expressed a strong personal desire to withdraw the claims for consequent damages aud thus adjust the point at issue between the two nations, but declared he was insufficiently master of the situation to urge the adoption of this course, but must act iu accordance with the expressed sentiment of the nation.

This report is viewed as indicating the growing disposition oh the part of the Washington Cabinet to adjust the question of indirect claims in a manner which may prove satisfactory to the British Government.

NEW YORK, April ,9.—The Coroner yesterday held an inquest on the body of Dr. Woodhull, the husbaud of Victoria C. Woodhull, who died suddenly Sunday night, The jury rendered a verdict that "Death had resulted from pheumonia, accelerated by intemperance and an excessive use of morphine."

'CINCINNATI, O., April 9.—Accounts of loss by the severe storm yesterday come in from all quarters. All the streams are over their banks, and sweeping fences and everything else before them. The Ohio river, at this point, rose 16 feet yesterday and last night, a rise almost unprecedented. Licking river also rose rapidly, and sweeping down into the Ohio, carried away 20 of the loaded coal barges which had just arrived from Pittsburg, and sunk 15 others.

The wrecks of the Abeona and Champion were carried away and sunk. The steamer Bostonia lost her chimneys in coming under the new railroad Jsridge. The railroads or many of them have suffered severely. The bridge at Morrow, on the Little Miami, was swept away, and several smaller bridges and culverts east of that point. Trains are running only as far as Morrowtown. Eight cars of coal were carried with the Morrow bridge.

Two bridges are reported gone on the Marrietta & Cincinnati road the temporary trestle over Ten Mile Creek,on the Louisville & Cincinnati road was also carried away. The O. & M. and I. & C. roads are about the only ones that have escaped damage at Plain ville, Ohio.
