We refer especially to the future.
The result of the election so far as Sheri
is cjiic.Tiied might not havd been averted
The independent voter was abroad thi, year,
aud there were very many influences com'
bined against the Democratic nominee. His
chief opponent received a large soldier vote
all then ws left of the Oreenback vote,
fow llpublican votes, and the votes
a largo nuinbjr of Democrats who wore
actuated by motives of friendliness to M
Knt nr'of prejudice against the regular noiu
luce fur one cause or another and nearly
as many more did not vote at all. To tni
indifference more than anything else can be
ascribed, the defeat of our nominee. From
t'lls let us learn that hereafter we must nom
inate men who can command a full party
vile, and after such nominatioua are made
let every Democrat make it his bounden
duty to go to the polls and glv; them
hearty support. It is unfair and unjust to
candidate to give him a nomination,and then
help defeat him by voting against hjm, or
by not toting at all.
The Senior ediidr of the Republican , was
away from home so much during the late
campaign that, the youny man whom he
leaves in charge of the paper during his
absences had no one to read and interpret

utterly, unfounded falsehoods. Wo support

drawn (rom.tlie contest, as the Jlepublican
did with its candidate. Nor did we .sup
port the! I)eni6cfatic mnnlhe'e simply for
'bulk of patronage," but did it. as a matter
of principle. We do nut deem it worth
while to' attempt to correct all the false
hoods contained in the RepublicAn. We
have only to say that we never had but one
conversation with Mr. Smith, anil that was
concernipg the printing of tickets, and noth
ing else.- If was of about three minutes dura
tion and occurred a short time -before the
elaclioo. We ask, simply ,an.inspecii6n of
the Columbian to snow whether Mr. Smith

itself the, indignation of outraged Republi

More thanhalfthe vote now classed as Qreen

its existence without any regard to the cur

and the offer was eagerly accepted. The
prosperity of the most prosperous country
in i.urope is not less on account of the bud-

matchless industry of her people. An ad-
mirable economy runs through all the affairs
of France; Her civil service is much less

is based upsn the kind of actual work per

The schooner Petrel, Captain Fisher, sailed
on the 25th of October for a whaling voyage
In the Atlantic ocean and carrying I'ortu-
gese passengers, a number or wliom were
paid-off whalemen returning home, to be
landed at Fayal, in the Azores, and on the
Madeira and Canary Islands. She encounter'

eajy days of November. After being dis
masto by tho fury ot the gale the
schooner became unmanageable and drifted.
On the 29th of October she was capsized in
a squall and fifteen persons were lost, in-
eluding Captain Fisher. From the 29th of
October until the 3d of November the six
survivors clung to the wreck, exposed to the
cold and storm without covering and kept
continually wet by the seas thai swept over
them.

wero startled by loud shouting, and were

In a number of cities throughout the Union,
together with what It charged manufactur

to largely exceed the price asked of
Bloomsburg by the water 'company. He
says :
ItKLATIVK COST Or II YDR NTjS.
First We give the relative cost of the
fire hydrants and Uses of wjter for manufac
turlng aud other purposes!
Denver Pays $75 each, for sixteen fire
hydrants per mile, besides other uses of
water, equaling together 1,176 per mile of
pipe line,
D!s Moines. Pas $125 per fire hy
drant, besides other uses of water, equaling
together ?t,3S0 per mile nf pipe lioe,
Indianapolis Pays $."() each, for four
teen hvdranls per mile, besides for other
usrs of water, aggregating $800 per mile 0
pipe line, but dues not afford an efficient firo
service, the hydrants only serving as sup
plies for the fire engines to attach their sue
tion pipes,
Memphis Pays $125 each, for the first
one hundred fire hydrants, besides paying
for other usfh of water, aggregating about
$1,300 per mile of pipo line.
Qulney Pays $200 for each Dre hy
drant, which.coverotber city ues, and ag
gregates $2,200 per mile of pipe line.
Terre Hauto Pays $40 each for twenty
five fire hydrants per mile, besides a dona
tion of $50,00 for and In consideration of
water for public bulldlngs.aggregatlng about
$1,400 per mile of pipe line. We would
note that twelve fire hydrants per mile, at
ISO each, would aHord jusl as efficient fire
servico as the twenty five per mile do.
Columbus, O. Pays $125 per each fire
hydrant, besides other uses of water, nggre
gating about $1,500 per mite of pipe Hue.
Tbrae statements show that cities, sup
piled with fire hydrants by companies, costs
on an average, Mix eacn nnu aggregates
per m ile of pipe line $1,275.
OWN THKtlt OWN WORKS.
The following places own and conduct'
their own water works :
Cincinnati!. The water department
chare-.1 the fire department 50 dollars
for each tiozzel, where the' engines attach
their suction pipes.1 The watir works d
not all'ord a firo sirjicc, the reservoirs not
being sufficiently elevated above the city
The works havo maintained themselvis, an
the city has made'very large appropriations
from time tn time to meet current expei sea.
Covington Each fire hydraut costs tbe
city $280 per year.
Lafayette Each fire hydrant costs the
city $175 a year.
Evansville Each fire hydrant costs the
city $275 per year,
Madison Elch fire hydrant costs the
city $700 per year.
Zanesville Each firo hydrant costs the
city $145 per'year.
The abovo showing the averago cost of
lire hydrants at cities owning and conducting
water works, to be $159 each, and an aggre
gate cost of $3,600 per mile of pipo line. 1
RATES TOR MANUFACTURIKO.
The following shows the rates charged by
different cities fur manufacturing and other
uses, per 1,000 gallons each ; Louisville, 15
to 35 cents.; Tplcdo, 15,to 20 cents ; Cin
cinnati, J2 to 15 cents; Terre Haute, 15 to
25 cents ; Quiucy, 15 to 30 cenls; Indian
apolis, 15 to 25 cents ; Newport, 15 to 25
cents; Covington, 15 to 35 ceuis ; antt
ville, 15 to,20 cents ; Chicago, 15 tp 40
cents,; Detroit, 15 to 40 cents; Cleveland,
15 to 10 cents ; St. Louis, J5 10 04 cents;
New York, 10 to 50 cents; Boston :i0 cent;
Baltimore, 12 lo 20 cents ; Brooklyn, 20 to
25 cents; Philadelphia, 15 to 50 vents.
Now, by computing the whole twenty
i-jiies we find the, average piicj charged per
1,00 gallons of water jo be ceijts while
New Albany is tupplicd at from 7 to 15
cents per 1,000 gallons, and is less than any
cily in the United Stater, t-xri pting one, or
two of the New K.iglaud towns, wliern the
cify levied a direct tax tor building the
works, nnd uow only clufrge the consumers
sufficient fur maintaining and conducting
the worki, having 110 dent, or iiiurost ac
count to mtot,
FIRE HYIMAKItl.
With regard to. firo hydrants we glean
from the above. that in. xeven citiif, which
own aud conduct their1 water works, lliey
cost an average of $259, per, each hydrant, or
au aggregate of $3,000 per nnlo.ol pipe line,
and in seven cities .which a r ,suppiej by
companies the average uust is $107 per each
hydrant, or au aggregite ol $1,375 per mile
of pipe lino. WuiU New Albany is sup
plied wjtb a superior service for' less than
$95 per fire hydrant, or an aggregate uf $1,
045 per mile of pipe line, which will grow,
less as moro pipe is laid Thu-', we litd
that through the. sagacity and prudence of
their city council, New Albany cap boast of
having one of the most efficient fire hydrant
and nater services for inauufactdrimr 11 ml
other uses (as well us, the cheapen water
rates) of any city .i'Uue west, nod which
fact every citizen should take pride in and
endeavor to promulgate, bo as to induce gocd
men, ot means and skill, to locate with us.
Tbey should also speak of the low rates of
Insurance, consequent to the water works,tbe
triple arrangements which the water works
company have made at their own instance,
providing a jalnst any short supply of water,
by building tho reservoirs and luyiug two
lines of plpos from the city to the reservoirs,
neither of which was required by tbe com
pany, but desiring to afford all the advan
tages obtainable. Each reservoir holds ten
days supply of water, which has been de
monstrated since the completion ,, of the
works. Make known the fact, too, that
while other Ohio river cities have dirty wa
ter, New Albany has settled water, being
free from sediment, and also speak of the
willingness pf tho city, &c, which, altogeth
er, will 110 doubt bring- wealth ar.d skill
