Norvoux, Nov. 13, 1876, The voice of Virginia is for peace, and it ts not Vikely that anything will be dove in thir State to com- plicate existing troubles or to further excite the public mina. . At the same time the whites nearly ail believe that Tilden has been honestly elected, and they think be will insist apon allof his rights, “The Southern people can do Hothing but patiently await the result sod depend upon their Northern brethron to see Justice done,” said a prominent Virginian to me to-day, and I find bissentimonts echoed by nearly every one ‘with whom 1 have conversed in Richmond, Petersburg and Norfolk, and on the railroad trains, The intima- tion that the South desires to see a return of intestine strife is wholly groundless, She knows her weakness and is painfully awaro that on slight provocation severe though altogether unmerited punishment may be iufleted upon her, I have looked around to see ifany of the signs that foreshadowed the oatbreak of 1861 exist, not expecting, indeed, to peo warlike preparations, but rather to observo if, as some partisan journals intimate, ‘*thore is a spirit of rosistance to constituted authority.” Nothing of the kind can bedescried. In that respect the borizun is dear, and though tho end of the present crisis may be sfasort quite unwelcome to the Southerners, from what Ihave seen and heard and read there will be jes “acceptance of the situation,”’ It is a common ying now, “We have dono our part and can do no mora, The Northern domocrats must seo to the balance.’ The idea is that Tilden’s Northern supporters must protect his interests; do the prosessian J eed be, and not expect the South to take any offensive action in the matter. There ts no oceasion to imagine ourseives on the brink of civil war.

Virginia ciects eight democratic Congress! tain. Seven of them wero in the last Congress. G: eral A. L. ¢Pridemore takes the place of Gi Terry. As for the ninth Congressman, Jorgense: (republican) claims that be is the man; but if the re- turn is given him very probably the saet will be cou- tested on several grounds by Hinton (conservative). Some of Jorgensen’s friends fear that the State Board ‘will not give bim the certificate because of the presence ot troops iu Petersburg on election day. 1s would bea little singular, and worthy of comment, if the very troops that he and bis triends brought there to further his ends should be the occasion of his non-success. For the State Board it may be said in advance of iss action that it is composed wholly of conserva. tives, and it has never yet taken avy unlawful or up fair advantage of its political opponents, and has scrupulously confined itself to the returns made to it by the county and city canvassers The constitutional amendments are adopted. Hence- fort in Virginia there will be biennial tostead of an- nual sessions of the Legislature, aud to vote one must first pay his poll tax; and if be steals never go little and 18 convicted he is disfranchised.

SUSPENDING A UXITED STATES MABSHAL— JUDGE BALLARD DENIES THAT THE PRES- IDENT HaS THE POWER UNDEB THE REVISED STATUTES, Lovisvinim, Ky., Nov. 14, 1876. ‘Two months ago the President appointed Thomas E. Burns United States Marshal for Kentucky, vice Gen- eral E. H. Murray, resigned. Burns had scarcely taken possession of the office when the President, without notice to him, suspended him, under section 1,768 of the Revised Statutes, and appointed Weeden O'Neal to take eharge of the office. To-day O'Neal presented a bond to Judge Ballard for approval, when the Judge decided that the power given the President under tbe atoresi to suspend an officer related only to office been approved by and with the consent of tho Senate, and that he could not recognize the suspension of Colonel Burns, Burns was originally appointed to all a vacancy during a recess of the Senate. Whethor the President could or could not have removed Burns out- right was not decided. Immediately after the decision’ of Judge Ballard, Colonel Burns sent a telegram to At- ion, to avoid quested the Attorney General to expres ident hie regret shat he had scen proper to suspend him without any notice that he was holding office against Qe wishes of the Pr POLITICAL NOTES.

There having been expressed a very great concern as to when the vast numberof bets and equally vast amount of money staked on the Presidential election would be paid, a reporter of the HERALD was sont to Mr. Morrissey’s rooms last eveuing for definite inior- mation, The response was that no bets would be paid until the result is deflnitely and finally ascertained. THE JERSEY REGISTRY LAW. In many respects tho. Registry law of New Jersey has become extremely odious in the sight of the people, and there is small doubt of its being revised and modified by the next Legislature, The law, as i, now stands, makes undue and unjust distinctions be. tween citizens. It confers on a native,born citizen the right to register not only bis own but al) his triends’ mes—ieaves opportunity so register fraudulent names—while a forergn born citizen must go and register in person or be disirauchised. How the law works in the way of disfrancoising citix 1@ illustrated by a case offictally stated before the Orange Common Coun- ci. Mr.C. F. Wetmore stated that on the first day of Tegistration he appeared before the Board of Registry and asked to have hin son's name entered on the jist, fle was refused. On the second day he again ap- peared belore the Board, and ajter taking the custom- ary oath was told the name would be regwiered, On jectiun day, when young Wetmore went to vote, ie did not appear upon the list, and the Judges refused to accept the ballot, Jt was then found that through the stupidi-y of the clerk the name had not been registered, and so Mr. Wetmore was practically disirdnchised, ‘The Jaw applios only to. cities of over 10,000 inhabitants, NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.

Importance of an Early Settlement of the Question. EFFECTS OF DROUGHT IN VIENNA. How the Supply ‘in This City May Be Increased. Quarterly Report of Commissioner Campbell on Croton Water. Tho arrangement of the supply of water for the city of New York is at the present moment in as great a Btate of confusion as the political status of the doubt ful States; por has this uncertain condition of things Deen made more clear in by the vory interestin; and intelligent résumé of Professor Doremus, de! ed belore the Art and Science Association on Monday evening. The Professor gave some valuable statistics with regard to tne present supply and the fuid capac ity of the drainage area of ghe Croton Valley, but these figures involve the same source of error which has re- sulted very recently in disastrous consequences to the ty of Vienna, 1s ts wel! to refer to the unfortunate state of things now existing in that city, asa matter for our own consideration in connection with the present condition of our supply. THE VIENNA WATER WORKS, Visitors to the Vienna Exbibitien will remember with what exultation the Viennese proclaimed the successful completion of their new water works after long years of waiting, and after much public and private inconvenience and even distress trom the absence of a proper supply of wholesome water, This was accomplished on the very eve of the Exhi- Dition to the satisfaction of ail parties, although at an enormous cost, and one far in excess of the original estimate, These grand works have now, it appears, atterly failed, and Vieuna is in a paroxysm of disgust The main cause of the failure is duo to an overes! mate of tho drainage area, resulting in @ season of drought in the supply baving so dim{nished that the works delivered jess than baif of what was actually r quired. The consequence was enforced resort to the old works, the water of which had already become 80 tainted with sewhye as to be absolutely unfit for use, THE CROTON WATERAMED, In the case of the drainage area of tho Croton Pr¢- fessor Doremus gave the estimated daily supply ‘irom rain alone” as 300,000,000 gallons, and as the city can receive but 115,000,000 gallons daliy through the pres- ent aqueduct, he argues that the difference between these two sums reprosents the daily waste over the Croton dam, ang that & new aqueduct from that point would remedy the difficuity by bringing all that waste water tothe city. Unfortunately for the consumers of water who now receiving it only on the lower floors, and very sparingly at that, tho actual staie of things at the Croton dam does not bear out these figures, Tho water there, instead of running over, is so low that it does not halt supply the limited capacity of the pres- ent aqueduct, and 1m pumps aro now being called into requisition to pump the water, which is below the supply inlet, into the aqueduct and suus give the city the bopefit of the water now stored at a low level. A DEFRCTIVE SYSTEM OF SUPPLY. The root of the evil lies far deeper than is generally supposed, and all the aqueducts that could be built at an expense even of four times the enormous sum that it has been proposed to expend in that way would not remedy this evil if tho present obsolete and impracti- cable system is to be continued, The whole Croton aqueduct system of supply and distribytion is radically wrong from begiuning to ond, and the sooner wo make up our minds to this fact the betier wo shall be of and the sooner the proper remedy will be applied. The difficulty began with the adption of tho gravity system 1m the ineeption of the works. It is like expecting that ‘he coat which is made for the boy wili ft the man. A gravity plan of water supply once adopted fixes abso- lutely the head Which the water is de- livered. This cannut possibly be increased, as the works are all constructed with reference to this one elevation. In the case of the Croton works there was no aniicipation that the prosent demand would come belore the Japso of conturies. 1n the meauwhile every foot of increased distribution insures & proportionate reduction of the distributing force, which is fixed beyond change by the establiehment of the original head, Nothing but auxiliary steam power can remedy this, as 18 now being done partially by tho steam engines which are to be used at the Croton dam. Even this is only a makeshift at tois one point. The reservoirs in the city rematning as thoy are can only give Justso much head of water, and this is being com- stantiy diminished by the increase in the number of distribution pipes, But this is not all the difficulty. The drainage area of the Croton Valley is absolutely too limited in itsextent for the supply of the city of New York m times of drought, and the experience is only to be repeated here over and over again when there shall occur a diminution ‘in the rainfall So that $10,000,000 expended on a new aqueduct would be just $10,000,000 thrown away, as there would be at times no Water to rua through it. THE PASSAIC RIVER. In the meanwhilo thore is to be found a supply of the purest water inthe world, sufficient tor 10,v00,000 of people for centuries, whick can be brought to ihe city at oue-balf the sum proposed and at less than on third of the distanc the lowest Croton lake. This is tho water of the Passaic River, which bus a drain- age area of over 2,000 square miles and a volume next ‘equal to the Hudson of all the availabie rivers. State lines should bo no impediment in the way of securing this supply for the great metropolis, which now lies as much on one side of the Hudson as it does on the other. With tl of auxiliary power the Passaic could be made to give a water supply for ali time that would rival that of any city of the ancient or the modern world. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION, This is Wwe question, that should be discussed with ecarnesiness and with a clear understanding of what are to be the future wants of the metropolis— not of the city of New York alone, but of all the millions that are to congregate ip the coming years at ‘this great focus of commerce and industry, No stunted supply, measured out by metors and gallons, will uilice, CONFLAGRATIONS AND EPIDEMICS, The conflagrations that in times past have swept over this devoted city will-come again, when the power to subdue them shail be dormant. The epidemics that have desolated the homes of our citize! knock always at the door, and will enter the moment the sanitary barriers are removed by diminishing tho water supply. Let us, then, take care to fully unde: stand thia whole matter before it 18 too late. Tem- porary expedients, which lull us into security, are public follies. Nay, more, they are public crimes!— for they inevitably bring with them public calamitior!

COMMISSIONER CAMPBELL'S RKPORT, The following is an extract from the quarterly report of the Commissionet of Public Works for tho quarter ending September 30, 1876, relative to the Croton water supply : By a resolution of the Common Council, adopted on the 20th ult, I have been requested to report upon the feasivility and comparative advantages of ailferent Plans for securing and maintaiving an avundant supply of water for tnis city.
