PHILADELPHIA.
"All signs fail in dry wenther," and notwith
standing the fretivfent indications of heavy
htoruis, nnd the prognostications of tho
wisest of -weather-prophets, no Hubstantiul
addition has yet been made to the waters of
the Schuylkill. Even the promising shower
of Saturday night has not helped to fill our
empty reservoirs, and we must again look for
ward eagerly to a protracted rain ns tho only
thing that can give permanent nnd complete
relief.
Fortunately, however, the Schuylkill nnd
Delaware stcnni works continue to pump
into the reservoirs enough water to furnish a
scant supply, nnd if housekeepers nre econo
mical there is litilo danger that their resources
will le entirely cut off. Even when the Fair-
mount works cease running. 1..,Oim,oik gal
Ions, or about it barrel of water for every ,
man. woman, and child, can bo furnished by
the other works, so that Philadelphia, in spite
of her panic, is probably as well provided at
this moment as New York with her boasted
system of Crotoii works.
The Chief Engineer has been severely
blamed for not continuing the steam fire
engines in service; but some of the indigna
tion expended in this direction is rather
superfluous. The steam fire-engines were
sent to Fnirmount to try nu experiment, nnd
we nre very glad that it was successful. If nn
absolute necessity arises we hope that pro
vision will be made for employing all the
steam lire-engines in tho city, but their aid is
at this moment not imperatively needed, nud
if, by throwing a few millions of gallons por
day into the reservoirs they inspired tho belief
that the hydrants could be used as freely as
ever, they would do more harm than good, by
causing tho waste of three or four times as
much water ns they would supply.
The real crisis of tho water question oc
curred on the Saturday when the Chief Engi
neer requested the Schuylkill Navigation Com
pany to opon their dams. At that time it was not
only impossible to run the Fnirmount Water
Works, but the boilers used at tho Schuylkill
works were found to be iu bad condition, and
for the moment thero was great danger that
the Schuylkill steam1 works as well ns the
Fairruount Water 'Works would be temporarily
useless. In that event tho only reliance would
have been upon tho Delaware works, which
at best could supply only from 4,()0i),0(.K) to
r.,000.000 of gallons daily. By the opening
of the dams, however, an opportunity was
aff orded to put a largo quantity of water in
tho reservoirs by water power, and sutliciiuit
time wus gained to repAir and strengthen tho
boilers connected with the Schuylkill steam
works, so that they have since been in good
working order.
The most unfortunate feature of the water
question arises from the fact that little or
none of the money derived from the water
loan of one million of dollars was used to
guard against tho contingencies which have
exposed Philadelphia to so mauy inconveni
ences and dangers. Wo uro informed th.il
even the new Cornish engine at the Schuyl
kill Works, and the turbine wheels at Fair
mount, were paid for out of special uppropria
tions, and meanwhile, although new boilers
were so sadly needed at tho Schuylkill Works,
and auxiliary engines at Fairmount. hat was
done with the million of dollars ? It seems
that it has all gone to increase the water-supplies
of West Philadelphia, and to carry water
to Mauayunk and regions adjacent to Kox
borough, where scarcely a single applicant
needs the new facilities, and where tho ex
penditure was almost totally unnecessary.
It was highly important that the West
Philadelphia supply should be increased, but
a much larger sum was expended for the
purpose than was absolutely required: and
without prejudice to a single suburban interest
of real consequence, the bulk of our popula
tion would to-day bo fortified against a water
famine in the most protracted of droughts if
the money squandered uselessly for tho nomi
nal accommodation of Green Lane and
Manayunk had been expended for new boilers
at the Schuylkill works and auxiliary engines
at Fnirmount. We believe that the inception
of this ruinous policy dates back several
years, before the present Chief Engineer was
elected, but its results are now so painfully
apparent, that it should serve as a perpetual
warning to Councils and to citizens
against the danger of ountenaneing
wild-goose anil extravagant schomes
at the very moment when tho welfare of
nine-tenths of the population of the city is
neglected. This is worso than saving at tho
spiggot and letting a precious fluid run out
at the bung-hole. It is tampering with tho
property, health, and lives of three-quarters
of a million of peoplo, to save a few thousand
dollars, and simultaneously squandering a
million for objects of questionable utility, or
to serve a small population. Now that the
errors of the past are so fully exposed,
Councils cannot be too prompt in adopting
efficient Vut not extravagant plans to correct
them. We want no more commissions to go
rambling through tho country to discover pro
texts for spending more money than tho city
can raise, and we want no postponements of
the eoniDaratively few nnd simple things
which can insure abundant water supplies
until grand aqueducts can be constructed to
bring water from the Perkiomen or the head
of the Delaware. We have the Schuylkill at
our doors, with plenty of water in its bed,
even at this period of unparalleled scarcity,
and the paramount necessity of the time is
the Adoption of sure means for raising its
supplies into our reservoirs.
AN "AGONIZING" ONSLAUGHT.
Months yea, verily And indeed, we might
with truth say y oars have elapsed since the
Hon. James M. Scovel, of Camden, compelled
ns to devote a share of our valuable space to
his vagaries. And when wo last did so, we
left our clastic friend in a very unsatisfactory
condition. He was thon noithcr doad nor
alive politically speaking, of courso with
tho odds inclining towards dondnoss. Time,
we nre glad to see, has not operated to his
disadvantage. He hns boon in repose for an
indefinite period, and emerges from it more
sprightly, nnd, doubtless, more elastic than
ever. If his political avatar were nttended by
no unusual phenomena, we might view it with
entire and hearty satisfaction. Hut he bursts
upon us from two points of tho compass,
simultaneously, and confusion at the outset
is the natural and inevitable result. The care
lessness of a newspaper reporter in omitting
initials leads to the suspicion that tho Scovel
who bursts upon us from one quarter may
not, after all, be' the Scovel, but another
Scovel. It is a more suspicion. Nothing is
more characteristic of the elasticity of the
original Scovel than a double npparition, and
for this reason we are inclined to tho belief
thnt the "Mr. Scovel, of New Jersey," who
has been figuring at the Woman's Suffrage
Convention nt Newport, is the Hon. James M.
Scovel, of Cumdeii.
As n female suffragist, Scovel begins life
in n small, modest, and on the whole very
proper way. He brings up the rear of tho
business committee, following in tho wake of
such bright lights ns Mrs. Pauline Davit,
Miss Susan 15. Anthony, Miss Theodore Til
ton, nnd Mrs. Hooker old stagers, all of
them, of whose company Scovel, a young
man in the business, ought to be proud, and
doubtless is proud. Indeed, we think he has
mndo a very good beginning. Ho has won
tho confidence of Susan and the other female
agitators, and when a man and a new man
nt thnt succeeds in winning tho confidence
of these suspicious old ladies, ho is doing
marvellously well. The task of fixing up the
business programme of a female suffrage con
vention is a very important one, re
quiring tho clearest sort of a head
and the widest range of virtues and
acquirements. All of Scovel's co
laborers on the business committee are
inveterate talkers, nnd will assuredly be too
busy with their tongues to devote any time to
committee matters. This will throw the bur
den of the whole thing on Scovel's shoulders,
which would receive it with satisfaction were
it not for the fact that Scovel, like nil great
reformers, likes to put in a word now and
then. Put he can certainly afford to hold his
peace for a lit tie while, in return for the great
honor thrust upon him a perfect equality
with Susan 15. and all tho other old ladies
who ure running the woman suffrage conven
tion nt Newport. Ho is doing remarkably
well for a beginning, nnd at the next gather
ing of the female suffragists may do better,
may even be permitted to open his mouth
and (piole the choicest sayings of Demos
thenes, Montesquieu, Andy Johnson, and all
the other leading nulhorities on tho woman
question of ancient and modern times.
Tho fact that an organization to be known
as "The Ilepublicau luviucibles'' was recently
gotten up iu Camden did not escape our no
tice. The Hon. James M. Scovel figured pro
minently at the first meeting, and, if we are
not mistaken, presided over its deliberations,
wrote the resolutions, made the principal
speech, and was honored with the bulk of the
cheering. This invincible phalanx have just
issued a formal manifesto. It bears the names
of five committee-men, among which that of
Scovel does not appear. But his mark is so
indelibly impressed upon the document a
sort of supplemental Declaration of Indepen
dencethat wo experience no difficulty what- j
ever in tracing it to its source, the "Diction
ary of Choice and Popular Quotations" which
is the best thumbed book in Scovel's exten
sive law library. This Supplemental Declara
tion is fully up to the original in its entirety,
nnd in some of its details leaves Jefferson's
famous instrument a mile aud a half in tho
background.
' A mere outline must suffice for our readers.
The Camden luviucibles or the Hon. James
M. Scovel, if you please "go forward, con
scious that right makes might," calling upon,
the Almighty to defend "the right" merely,
fully and properly persuaded that "tho might"
w ill take care of itself. Such is the peroration.
The exordium starts out with a quotation from
Jefferson, which is made applicable to the
lamentable state of affairs existing across the
river, where somebody has given "tho last
stab to agonizing affection," and walked
rough-shod over the llepublican party of that
section; or, as the Supplemental Declaration
has it, "ruled us with n rod of iron," which,
we take it, is much the same thing, diffe
rently expressed. It is easily Been that the
gentlemen who wield tha "rod of iron" in
this reckless fashion, and drive "agonizing
affection" to the wnll so mercilessly, have
put their foot into a very sorry piece of busi
ness. They have even gone so far as to "re
gard the masses of the peoplo as Asses, ready
saddled and bridled, whoso williug backs
bend in order that any demagogue may ride
forward into power." This is bad enough, of
a surety; but tho men who did not scruple to
give "the last stab to agonizing affection,"
have not scrupled to do what is a groat deal
worse, to act upon tho belief that "it is the
chief end of man, not to glorify God, but to
get into a fat place, and take all their family
thero also" the "fat place" iu question being
"tho ark of office."
Now, as an offset to all these scandalous pro
ceedings, the luviucibles, first promising that
I ,ni iiui was "a shining and Christian Uepub
I licau.'and that "all men nre. and were ereatod.
; equal," pledge their "sacred honors" that
they will, "to tho bitter end, make war upon
the insolence, tho imbecility, and tho fla
grant injustice, the contempt of tho popular
will that has ruled the actions of men who
never were contndlrd by love of the people."
This noble Declaration is a little mixed, when
viewed from tho syntactical standpoint; but
for all that, it is easy to see that the Invin
cibles Are dead in earnest, and have made up
their minds to cause a great deal of trouble
to the men who gave "the last stab to ago
nizing affection," who throw "rods of iron"
nround with perfect looseness, who "regard
the masses of the people as Asses," and who
finnlly, in defiance of Saint Paul and con
tompt of the equality of the races, get them
s dves into the "ark of office," simply because
it is such a "fat place," aud has accommoda
tions for whole families.
From all this it 'will be seen that Scovel has
two big jobs on hand. But with Susan B.
Antl ouy and Theodore Tiltou to back him up
in the onslaught upon generic mankind at
large, nnd the doughty Invinciblos of Camden
to support him in the crusade against thoso
shameless fellows over tho river, it needs no
prophet, nor sou of a prophet, to divine the
propitious result.
In 'Lancaster County, the stronghold of
Ilepublicanism, tho Crawford county system
of making nominations by a popular vote
prevails, nnd Saturday last was the day set
npnrt for these primary elections. As the
records of tho old members of tho Legisla
ture were thoroughly canvassed, it is believed
that not one of them was renominated, while
Billingfelt, the State Senator who exposed
and resisted their extravagance, carried tho
county by a majority of nearly two thousand.
There is no doubt that the Kepublicaus of
Philadelphia ought to have adopted tho policy
which their brethren in Lancaster county
have enforced, but since thoy neglected to do
this, it is not too late yet to throw our six
Jonahs overboard. Every man of them
ought to be defeated. Let tho voters look
out sharply for Stokes, Davis, Hong, Bunn,
Cloud, nnd Adaire.
JAPAN.
The ( a il arc of Ilnkodiiill -Heroic Defense by
I Ik- Ki-Im'In.
The Japan Tinn s of July 13 gives an account
of the tall of llakotladi, by which the late civil
war came to an end. (Mi the Will of June a very
severe eiigaiieiueut occurred between the Toku
uawa rcfuuees anil llic Imperial licet, cousi.-tiii
of the lleiula, the Kami-iio-ivaini, the Kianir-ui,
and another vessel, name not n'lvou, all led by
tho .Stonewall. The lire was directed against
the fort and the rebel war-ve.-sel Eaijle, and was
answered with spirit. The Kajjle was stranded,
but uot silenced ilurimr the hiiule.
(n the 20th the .Mikado licet commenced au
attack on the fort, whilo the troops advanced
toward the breastworks. For tour hours a
severe and continuous lire of jireat ,ruiis and
musketry was kept up, and both sides fuiurnt
with i;orninl spirit. Hut superior to alt in
gunnery, hi indomitable courage aud inexhausti
ble ij;or, were distinguished tho crew of the
rebel ship Emperor." beset by the whole of the
.Mikado licet, menaced by the crushing rain of
the Stonewalll, the especial mark of the well
directed tire of the Kiansu and the Ilcuda. the
little vessel, hardly larger than a yacht, was
fought with heroic courage aud dauntless reso
lution. One of the attacking licet was blown up by a
shell iu her magazine, thrown by the Kmperor.
he tank immediately, and her crow strutted
in the water, with more shell lroin the enemy
bur.-timr over their heads. The rules of civilized
wartaie were not obseived by tho rebels, ami tho
sinking men were so far neglected by their
friends that only twenty were saved. As the
day progressed it was evident that the Tokugawa
men were being overpowered. The Eagle and
the Emperor were tired and blown up. The
town and neighboring villages and official houses
were also bred. During the afternoon of iluuc
21 the Mikado s troops and civil officers occupied
the town, but the Fort Kamida still held HM
desperate men. It was surrounded by Imperial
troops, and on tho 2!M a mesae was received
from its commander, Knomoto, proposing terms
of surrender. The terms were rejected, aud
Enomoto opened lire with rapidity.
Supplies were sent into the fort, during the
night of tho :hl, from some of the Mikado's
men. The garrison was also allowed to replace
guns in position, and enjoy other advantages,
because the Imperial officers thought it was
"inglorious to interfere with them iu their
stai viiig condition." This absurdity is described
as peculiarly Japanese. On tho 2"th the fort
was surrendered after some lighting. On the
27th the Tokugawas were all disarmed. They
were a motley crew many of them lads of 17 or
IS, and all very young. Their dress exhibited
eveiy possible variety of what seemed English
slops of the worst description, in tho dirtiest
possible condition.
The number of executions will not be great.
Seldom, says tho Japan Gazette, has a revolu
tion anywhere, certainly never iu the East, been
followed by so few political executions. Eno
nioto's crime, however, has been enormous: ho
is a traitor to his sovereign, a traitor to his
chief, a renegade from his clan, and a robber of
the public. Ho has caused much bloodshed and
great loss to the country, nnd his punishment
will doubtless bo signal. On the 2iith of July
tho Gazette had the following: Politically,
everything is quiet. The lleet has returned from
Jlakodadi, with a great portion of the troops on
board, the rest coming down overland. As they
arrive, they are despatched to their several pro
vinces, and Ycddo will soon have only its ordi
nary garrison. Tho place seems to bo lilliiig
fast again with its legitimate Inhabitants. We
wish we could add that its legitimate trade wa
also reviving.
JEFF. DAVIS.

in business In the Artisan Butltlinfr, which was 4
stroyed by flre on tho loth of April. I had then is
use what I supposed was a Fire-Proof Safe, but up;
openlDR R I round everything destroyed, and a,
burning therein.
You will recollect, gentlemen, there was sever'
of your Bares In that fire, also several In the flre i
Plx'h and Commerce streets, the next Mar At
weeks afterwards, all of whle.h upon being open!
proved they were tlre-proof indeed, for I witness
the opening of the most of them, and In every cni
the t oiiteuts were preserved, while Bares of otlW
makers were partially or entirely destroyed. I I
nee concludd to have something that I could dj
pend upon, nnd purchased one or your Sates. f
The safe I purchased of you at that time was still
jer.ted to a white heat (which was witnessed by s
eral gentlemen that reside In the nelghbo'hood) i
the destruction of my Marbie Paper factory, t2
Wallace street, on the afternoon and evening of trti
24th Inst. After digging the safe from the rtiln.v
and opening it this morning, I was much pleased to
find everything, consisting of books, papers, mon,.'
urn' silverware, all rlfrlit. 1 slmll want another til
your safes as soon as I can get a place to continu
mv business In. I could not rest contented with an
other make of safes.

Iu the destructive lire that occurred at Ninth and
Wallace streets, on Tuesday noou, we had one of
your celebrated Fire-Proof Safes. It was exposed
to an intense heat for about twenty-four hours. The
building was large and Ulled with much combustible
material. On opening the safe we found all our
books nud valuable papers completely preserved and

heat-resisting qualities of your safes ar really
wonderful, and we think great advantage la derived
from your IiihIiIo door improvement. We shall want
