Now it happens that the Republican party- tondors in Vermont are alarmed, In the presont Congross ono of tho districts In that Statols represonted by Mr. C. W.

A majority of the mombors aro now men, and, while they are nominally Ropub- lican, there aro grave suspicions that on the quostion of electing s United States Sonator, many of them will reject the orders of a cauous and voto ns they plense—porhapa for Willard.

It will bo goon that Chicago, in addition to Laving 800,000 feat of pipe more theu Brookiyn, and from 500,000 to 1,000,000 foot more than tho otlior citio, has in pipe groator thau 0 inchos a largor amount than any city save New York and Brooklyn, both of which far exoood Lor in pop- ulation, In carly days, when Chicago was compuratively o villago, wator-pipe of 8 sud 4-inch diametor waa loid, with G-luch maing. Bus this waa soon found inndoquato, and larger pipes wore laid. Tho 8-inch pipo has beon adopted for the gonor- 8] uso, and thouo are liborally supplied throngh maing measuriog 86, 28, 24, and 16 inches. Wharover tho old 6 and 4-inch pipe is lald it is connectod on all tho cross strects with 8-inch pipe, and all tho firo-plugs at the corners of streets aro supplied by the B-inck, and not by the emsaller pipos. A vory fow localities, like the abandoued ono whero ths firo originated in July lsst, are now furnished by losa than an 8-inch pipo, and theso small pipes are boing rap- idly replaced by larger onoa. Tho City of Chicago uow draws wator from Lako Michigan throngh two tunncls,—one of 5 foet, and the other of 7 feot diamotor. Ono of theso Lunnols bus boon extonded under tho city » distanco of throo miles, whoro, as soon as tho worlks can be completed, will be put in operation a socond pumplng apparatus capablo of supply- ing & city of four times tho prosent sizo of Chi- cago. Years ago tho laying of smail pipe in this city was abandoned, and for several yoers the work of subatituting B-inch pipo for tho smallor sizos hns boon golng on. In a vory fow yonrs tho entiro city will bo farnished with 8-inch pipe, fod by 24 and 36-inch malus. Tho prosent longth of pipo of all sizes in this city is 851 miles ; in Now Yark it is only 308% miles, sud of tho Now York pipo 25641 miles are 6 inches and undor., At this timo thero is lardly s fire- plug within s mile of tho contral or business poart of tho city that is not fod by an 8-inch ive. B Taken as a whole, tho wator-supply of this city, both for domestic uses ng well as for flres, aexcecds that of auy city of tho same eize in the country, and is o much botter than the most of thiem thot it leaves but littlo room for compar- ison, ‘Tho City Government of Uhicago has ab times been carcless of tha publio intorests ; but thio Wator Dopartmont has atways boon ably and honestty administercd. That the managomont of that dopartment has boon lberal is shown in the oxtont of pipo laid and in tho arrangoment of the mainy 8o as to furnish an ample supply in caso of fires, It is undoubtedly true that there aro dofecty—and importaut ones—yet to bo rem- cdied. It is undoubtedly truo that tho losses by firo in the United Statos are noodlesaly largo, ond that insuranco has boon, on tho wholo, & loging business, But tho dofocts in our water- supply aro not peculiar to Chicago. Thoy exist in othor cltios in evon groator dogros.

T'he threo Congressmen to bo chosen next month wilt ave to take part in the declslon, temporary or final, of quostions which deeply affect the weltaro of tho wholo American people. The next Congross will bo ealled upon by the grent bulk of our agricultural population to relieve them of tho taxes which thoy now pay on what- ever thoy buy and sell, not to the Govarn- ment, but to tho manufeoturors, It will bo called upon to diecuss tha delicate financial question, It may bave gravo probloxns con- nectoa with tho Bouthern States to handle, Tt is important that Ohicago should be repre- sonted In sueh work by statosmon, If possiblo, and at any rate by mon who will riso above tho vollng-macbivo lovel of the mejurity of the Touso, The next Logiulaturo of thia 3tate will bivo the gront problem of tazation bremght bo- fore it.

Tho new Becretary of the Troasury has shown a dleposition, from the start, to bo somothing more than & more figure-hoad. Klis reforms have ot boon groas, but they have been wise. Coming into offico immadiatoly after tho ludicrous falluro of poor Richsrdson, ho has Lad & chance to mako, by shaor forca of contrast, a bottor rocord than anyof tho recont hoads of tho Tronsury Dopartmont. It romalns to bo soon whether tho now-broom provorb Is t apply to him. Wil ho grow woary of well-doing? Will he bo attho ‘bock of speculators, and order altornats contrace tion and Inflation, as Boutwell did? Or will be Davo nwisoaud sottlod polioy, Mko ITugh Me- Culloch, and so dosorve tho plaudits of his coutomporarios and the honor of posterity ? ‘Wo hopo tho last question may bo atfirmativoly answorod. Booretary Bristow wall have tme, Lo~ foro Cougress moots again, to formulate a plan for putting our disturbed financos $o order. It is his duty to doso. Tha report which he will submit to the Prosident, and through him to Con- gross and the country, noxt Decombor, should contain & clear atutoment of bis idea of tho best plan for socuriog tio resumption of spocic-pay- monts. One lucid exposition of ways sod moans, made by tho maa who is the nomiual, aud should bo the real, head of our fiunnces, would bo worth a dozen patched-up *com- promises ® lhureied through Congresa in tho closing hours of s Dbusy Bos- sion. Tho mewmorandum of Grant’s viows on finauce which was givon to the pross by Senator Jones, though not adhored to by Graut himsolf, matked an epoch in tho last struggle apainst inflation. It gavo the boliovars in an Louest currency something to staud by. It formed a centro of assombly, Hsd it not boon published, we might have had usomothing woras than the makesbift which finally becamo law. Thenas good rosults would foliow, in greater do- Rro0, tho publication of & plan dovised by tho Bacrotary of tho Troasury and indorsed by the Prosident. It would produce what tho lawyors call an *igsuo,” A bill embodying it would bo promptly introduced into ono or both Housos of Cougross. The wolght givon to 1t by tho Prosident's and the Boorotary’s indorsement would seowro its careful digcussion when & slmilar Dbill introduced by an unknowa membor or by s Domoorat might be ignored. The flnanclal discussion of tho moxt sousion ‘would bo narrowed down, ab first, to tho acoopt- anco or rojoction of this particalar plan. The duty of Mr, Bristow, in this view of the caso, is plain, Wo shall hopo to 6o, in his forthooming roport, somothing moro than a cashior’s balanco- sheot. Wo uhall hopo to seo in it a statosman- liko scconnt of the difloultios in the way of ro- sumption, and a sketeh, backed by srgumont, of the way in whiok tho Socretary of the Treasury thinks they can best be mat. ‘WOMAN'S RIGHTS IN ILLINOIS, Mrs, Cady Stenton made sad work of her suffrage campaign In Michigan by attacking laws which bad no eoxistence in that State. Tho logislation of tho tyrant man thero has boon most oquitablo. This fact nogatived Mrs. Btauton’s glowing pictures of tho wrongs of ‘woman, and 8o somewhat diminished their value as arguments, Wo fear that somo of the speakers at the coming Woman's Congress in this city may fall ivto mimilar orrors, It is partly for this reason, and partly becanse tho meoting of the Congreas will doubtless oxcite general intorest in tho laws rogarding woman, thay wo think it advisablo to givo the gist of the latost logiala tion on thut subject. On the first day of last July, the married women of Tllinoia ncquired sevoral now rights. They can suo snd bo sned in thoir own namos. They can—blogsed privilogo—suo their own par- ticular tyrants. Whon & husband desoris bis wifo, tho latter haa tho cuatody of her childron. It tho Lusband etays out of tho Stato o year and doos nothing to support tho wife during that timo, or if hio s imprisoned in tho Ponitentiary, tho wifo can, upon obtaining sn order from a court of record, manage his property abuolutely. The wifais not st all liable for tho busbsud's dobts fncnrred before marriago, and only in ox- coptional clroumstances for those incurred after- wards, Bho can manago any business inde- pendently, except in caeo of a partnership, which ghe cannot ontor without her husband's consont. ‘This wenk point of the law may bo succesofully attacked by tho suffragists. A wifo's carnings cannot bo touched by her hug- band or his creditors. A married woman ean acquiro, posacss, and soll real and porsonal prop- orty as frocly as a married maa can. Tt will bo soon from this resums that tho mag- calino law-makers of Illinols huve not allowed lovoly woman any of tho privileges of u victim in this Btato. This splkes the suffragists’ can- non, Olaims to the franchiso &s n rownrd for the inconvenionce of being born aro out of dato. BOUTHERN GOV RE.

A very croditable movoment {s on foot in Now York to savo Mr. Booth's beautiful thoatre from pousing out of his hands. An article from tho New York Horald, which we print this morning, givos the particulars, 3Ir. Booth's misfortuno wau precipitated by the ponic as much a4 auy- thing olao; for tho dramntic sonsou of lust yoar was the most disnstrous within the exporienco of tho oldest managors. Tha wholo liabilitios of tho thoatre amount to about 460,000, iucluding taxes. Tho mortgage foreolosing is a third mortgage for $10,000. The mortgages taking procedonco of it amount to about £300,000. The valuo of the theatre snd ground is not loes than £600,000, bolng nssossod for taxes ot $5600,000. Mr. Booth's unsogured croditorn sre eald to bo very liberally disposcd, tho holdars of ths first mortgages aro stisfled with their investment, and the sum needed to bo ralsed is 300,000, 1f thiscan bo dono, there is rTonson to beliava that Afr, Booth's affairs can ba straightencd out, and tho failing hoealth of the great nctor, indnced Dy coustaut worry auvd au- noyance, bo restored, The best plan for raising thia mouey would probably ba to isus bonds for tho nmount needed, tuking tho theatro for soourity, and roleasing it of its incum- brances by this meavs. This would give Mr, Booth's frionds in tho country s tangiblo modo of stopping in to Lis rolief, snd tho ln- ‘vestment could bo mndo profitablo to all partios. Thero is no doubt that tho necessary funds could be ralsed in this way, whero nono otber would perve. It is concedod that tha evontual pecuniary succoas of tho theatro is cortain, and tho present crisis is the only one likely to causo any inconvenienco. Thoe property is already ad- vertised for salo Novembor 5, so that whatover stops aro to bo taken should bo taken {mmedi- ately ; and it would becomo tho art-patrons of Novw York, aftorall Mr. Booth has done for their cty, to restoro bis thoatro to him and give him time topay forit, whichhe can do in & fow yoars.
