Erie, March 12, 1868.-Iw. WE have preferred taking no part in the exciting 'city election, aside from publishing the proceedings of each party, for the reason that we believe the general interests of our political creed will be better subserved by adopting that policy. Among Democrats, as among Republicans, there is a wide differ ence of opinion relating to our municipal af fairs, and, take whatever side we might, it would surely create antagonisms - that could not be healed in a long period. Our indi vidual views are well known, and firmly fixed, but we have no right to obtrude them upon the public at the risk of incurring dis- - sensions among the supporters of our politi cal creed. Whatever side individual-Demo crats adopt, let them carefully avoid runnitik into extremes which may interfere with the unity of the omanfaation in the:all-important Campaign to be decided in November. PATRIC/i'S DAY.—The Irish portion of our, population celebrated_ St. Patrick's day, onvthe 17th inst., with, if possible, evert more than ordinary enthusiasm and display. In the forenoon a procession was formed, esti mated to embrace tour thousand persons, and including all the "Irish societies, which marched through a number of the leading sieots and at tracted much attention. A nuMber of elegant banners were carried in the _hue, flags were displayed in uncommon numbers, and the music' . of four bands lent spirit to the occasion. The neat regalia and manly appearance of the members of the Irish American Association were especially noticeable, and could not be , surpassed by any society in the city. A grand Festival for the benefit of the poor wag held in Far rar Hall in the evening, which was attended by an enormous concourse. The' entertain ment included tableaus, addresses and music, and is admltted by all M have been equal to the best amateur performances ever given in Erie. A more orderly or creditable demon stration throughout could not be imagined, and the worst enemies of the -Irish people were unable to discover any feature of the day which afforded them an opportunity for uncharitable remark. - MRS, LANDER AT FARRAR HALL—Mra. F. W. Lander (better known in former years as Miss Jean Davenport) who wilt appear at Farrar Hall to-night, in a translation of the tragedy of "Elizabeth," is a lady whose ge nius has ever been devoted.to the highest range of art, and we-welcome her popularity as a proof that the legitimate drama has only to appeal to the public to find the fullest sup; port. .The character of Elizabeth, made fa mous by Ristori, lost something of its effect by its performance in Italian. Mrs. Lander in adding it to the list of her triumphs, will Americanize it, and render it more acceptable; than on its previous rendition in this city. As' an actress of undisputed pre-eminence in cer tain leading parts, Mrs. Lander has stood,. and still stands, alone upon oar stage. As (3,: purely legitimate artist, undebased by ths". slightest meretriciousness in her school and style of acting—as one of the few represen tatives left amongst us of the dignity of he roism, she is entitled to the most cordial re cognition by all Who appreciate art. Singu larly universal in her genius, she is.neither confined to comedy or tragedy, but with an equal love, embraces both, and it would be difficult to say in which she most excels. We hope to see her greeted With large audiences during her stay in Erie, no less as an appre ciation of her merits as an artiste, than as a testimonial to her virtues as a true hearted, patriotic and self-sacrificing woman. G. W. STARR, Esq., publishes a communi cation showing from the Comptroller's books that the nmegute debt 6f - the city is .40,- 432, of which the floating debt is, in round nurithers, $26,000, and the balance perma nent. Of this sum, $250,000 is for water bonds, negotiated at the rate of 85 cents on the dollar, and the money received for which is held by several of the banks,-and drawing three per cent. interest. The whole increase of the debt, during the year, aside from the water bonds, we are informed by one of the Councithsea, is some $70,000, for which the city has the pavement around the Parks, the new steamer, about $2,000 -worth of hose, and the sewers as ihr as built. From the same authority we acquire the information that the floating debt of the city, at the com mencement of the present fiscal year, was nearly the same as at the present time. It would gratify the public • interest, if some gentleman thoroughly acquainted with city affairs, and Unprejudiced in his views,would furnish a table showing the expenditures in the last three years, and presenting a state ment of the comparative debt at intervals of twelve months during the same period.

Meetings by the Wholesale, Satire and Argument, Facts and Fiction, and a Refreshing Ocea. Mon Generally! • A large and very earnest-spirited meeting of those opposed to, the present system of city improvements was held in the Court House on Thursday evening of last week, which was presided over by John it Walk er, assisted by W. G. Arbuckle and L. W. Olds as Vice Presidents, and Geo. W. Starr and John W. Douglass as Secretaries. Speech es were made by W. A. Galbraith, C. W. Kelso, G. J. Ball, J. W. Douglass, James C. Marshall; Sherbum Smyth and otherii, all criticising : severely the plan of improvement adopted by Councils and Water Commission er& and urging the election of officers pledged to reform in municipal affairs. The greatest hostility was concentrated upon the scheme for procuring water from • the bay, it being urged by most of the speakers that it will be impure and unhealthy, that the original cost will be enormous and the.annnal expense of pumping more then the receipts, that the best quality of water can .be obtained from the ridges South of the city at half the ex penditure, and avoiding the necessity of steam power, and that it would be Cheaper in the long run to pay damages on the con tracts already made and 'abandon. the plan altogether. A 'member and ex-member of Council who were present attempted_ to ex plain some of the features ecopplained of, but met with pbor encouragement On motion of es-Mayor Smith,. committees of three were selected for each district to report Can didates at an adjourned meeting on Monday evening forMaVer and Councilmen, a'nil the following resolution, offered by Jonas Gun nison, was adopted: Rewired, That our Senator and R,epresen-, tatives in the. Legislature be and they are hereby urgently requested to pass an set re pealing so mueh'of the act of 4th of April, 181.17, as provides for thenppointment of wa ter commissioners for the city of Erie, and also all that portion of said act which restricts the water commissioners to the lake—and in lieu thereof that a supplement may be en acted authorizing the election by the people, of three water commissioners at a special election._ to be held within thirty days from -the pagsage of said act." .

Marshall, Esq., in the absenee of Mr. Walker, the regular chairman. An immense donconrse had assembled, in the anticiKition of witnessing a lively time, and they were not disappointed. The proceedings were al- most momentarily interrupted by demonstra tions of applause on one hand mid of dissent on the other, and most of the speakers'were compelled to submit to a continued cross questioning, as searching and embarrassing as that generally applied to witnesses in a jury trial. Mr. Wilson Mae, from the com mittee on nominations, reported the follow ing: Mayor—B. B. Vincent. Ist Dist.—Select Council, Halsey Felton; Common, Jos. A. French, Robert Kennedy; Auditor—W. W.

Ilartlpib; Auditor, Wm. M. Gallagher. 4th Dist.—Select . Council; L. W. Olds ; Common, Wm. G. Arbuckle, Andrew T. Marsh ; Assessor, Thos.- -Stewart ; Auditor, F. F. Marshall. "Brother Mac" made a conciliatory speech, urging the postponement of the nominations until Wednesday evening, when he proposed that both sides should meet in conference and select a common ticket by marking. This novel suggestion was received with tremen dous applause, but was voted down never theless, and the report adopted. Mr. Gal braith, Chairman of the committee on reso; lutions, reported as follows Resolved, That this meeting of the tax-pay ers and voters of the city of Erie -is in favor of a judicious and proper system of city im provements, including sewerage, paving and water works. The sewerage, where necessa ry, and upon such streets as are to be paved; the pavements wherever the growing popu lation and business seem to require it ; and the water works to be planned by the best engi neering ability, and with a strict view to economy as well as cheapness and durability, and above all, with regard to the purity of the water to be obtained thereby. Resolved, That we are opposed _ to the ill considered, hasty and extravagant manage ment which appears to have marked the op erations of the past year, and which has fastened upon us the onerous burden of a sewerage system unnecessarily expensive ; so constructed as to be of little if any perma nency or practical use when done, and built in many instances where sewers are wholly uncalled for, and where their 'cost is a most grievous tax upon the people, many of whom are illy able to bear the infliction. Resolved, That we look upon the plan adopted by the water commissioners of tak ing water from the harbor, as' being in the highest degree objectionable. The drainage continually pouring in from the numerous public - sewers, as well es from the canal and 31111 Creek--end by, which all' the filth and nastiness of a ihousamicess pools and priv ies, thematic of tiumerons refineries and the washingi'of slaughter houses_ are added to the dirt and foulness from the shipping and docks, to say nothing of the garbage,dead fish, and other abominations usual to the water front of a large town—must, from the nature of the case, seriously corrupt ' and contami nate the water and render it unwholesome and unfit for use. ' Raolra!, Thai this meeting is opposed to the plan of said water commissioners, for the further reason'that it is believedAhat from some one or more ,of the numerous creeks and springs' on the high-lands south of the city an ample supply of the purest water may be obtained at 5.r less cost, and thereby saving also the perpetual daily expense of fuel, labor, _viva. sad tear ofimachixtery Isev itably lactdental, to the constant pumping . process.:.• • = Resoteed„Thit the-set or Assetibly, 7th of April, 1867, br,whickthisvity is obliged to erect water WO*lll4 *AO 1)7 Watch also the Legislature undeitook:tcrptobibit the taking of water from any - sottroe except. the lake ; and further, took from , the people the right of selecting.their-own agents for exercising the extensive povrer grahted, and disbursing the unlimited means authorized by said act, was passed without any petition from the citizens, and w.„e now ask tu ho b eard upon a matter that so vitally concern s our interests. And to this end we again respectfully ask for the passage 0170 lavrallowing thellection of the three want' . ommiasioners by people, in order to give an opportunity for an expression by the voters upon this question through the ballot-box. ' • Revired, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to our Bensitor and Representa tives. Mr. J. W. Douglass offered a resolution, and .sristairied it in .aqtao remarks, that es none of the reports on water works were sat isfactory to the public, the Councils be re quested to secure the services of a competent engineer to evihrine! the Matter in all its bearings. Mr. Thos. B. Vincent, in a lotid voice, wished to know what objection there was against Mr. Birkenbine,- the engineer who •planned the - system ; ot water works adopted ? Mr. Douglass said lie didn't know; but there arc objections, and that is enough. Mi. J. Ross Thompson asked what assurance we would have that as the reports Of two en gineers were not satisfiictorY, that of a third would be received with any 'better favor. Bro. Mac here made his third or forirth sug gestion for the evening. - Mr. Wilson King complained that the examinations made had not been thorough, and expressed his convic tion that enough pure water could be.pro eured from the hills and streamssouth of the .city to furnish a supply thrfilly years. Brit. MSc commended Mr.. King as a judicious man, to the amusement of the audience. The President called Bro. 3lac to order, but be persisted in holding his ground, amid great applause. Mr. Olds didn't want Mr. Doug lass resolution passed, because if the ticket were elected"all the matters in dispute would be adjusted. Mr. Galbraith argued that the appointment of a new engineer could not mend the difficulty, as the act of Legislature required the water to be taken from the lake. Mr. potiglass said there is a new bill which allows the water commissioners discretionary powers. Mr. Rawle, one of the commission-' ers, explained at length the course they had pursued, and denied that enough water could be got from the bills to supply the city. The water of the bay was the best around; he often drank it, and thmight it as good as that of any city in the world. He referred to the fact that all the contracts for the water works had been let, and believed it too late now to inaugurate a new plan. Mr. Galbraith re sponded in a vigorous argument, claiming -that enough care had not been taken in as certaining the best source of supply, and de nouncing as suspicious the- undue baste that had been exhibited. He disclaimed any per sonal feeling' against the commissioners, whom he believed as good men as could be chosen. To get at the nub of the'question the sewerage and water systems must be taken as a whole. We were spendingmuch money to empty the filth of the City into the bay, and then going deliberately at work to pomp it back again for drinking purposes. The ex pense would be too great to sustain, and the water not fit to drink. Several of . the- most competent engineers in the country had as sured him that an abundance of water could be brought into the city from the adjacent streams. He-criticised severely the measures adopted, declared that they would impose a heavier burden on the city than we cad bear, and closed by alleging that it will be cheaper to stop the whole work new, than to go on and find it a failure in the end. While Mr' G. was speaking, frequent interrogatories -were addressed to him, which he responded to in a vein that kept the audience in the best 'of spirits. Mr. C. Siegel thought water suffi cient could be got without going to the bay, but considered this an eleventh hour agita tion, as all the contracts had been let. Bro. Mac was glad to know that Bro. Siegel had experienced a change of heart. Mr. G. J. Ball moved an ninendnient to Mr. Doug lass resolution, providing that -the engineer should report the comparative expense of procuring water from the bay .or hills, and sustained it in a lengthy speech. He was op posed to going to the bay. The original cost would be over $250,000, the yearly expense $40,000, and the receipts not more than $4,000. It would involve us in bankruptcy. Mr. J. Ross Thompion delivered an ingeni ous speech in defence of the city officers. He blamed the opponents of the present system of improvements for not waking up earlier. We are all agreed that water is needed, and his knowledge of the country satisfies-11bn that the bay is the only place where it can be got. We take our ice from the bay ; why not our water? The daily cost of the water works would not be over *l4. - Mr. Ball re plied, and quite a lively discussion eneued,in which these two gentlemen filled the most prominent part. Finally, the President got out of patience, and put a motion to adjourn, which was carried without the least dissent, anti the resolution and amendment both fell to the ground. The desire to. speak was so general that half a dozen would claim the floor at a time, and several of the gentlemen Who made the most desperate efforts failed to catch the President's eye: It was a meet ing worthy of the old railroad "war in its palmiest days, and carried the recollections of many back to that eventful period. The meeting of the Improvement party, to ratify their nominations, was held in the Court House on Wednesday evening, and, if possible, was even a larger and more inter esting one than that just described. Hon. Selden Marvin presided, and on taking the chair, said he .was at first opposed to the present improvements, but the more consid eration he had given them, the stronger he was convinced that they were the best we could have. The leading speaker of the "Improvement" party was lion. John P. Vincent, who , displayed a familiarity with the subject, and a clearness of argument, that made a favorable impression upon many. He said it was a peculiar feature of Erie, that no public measure can be originated without incurring great hostility. - We are large enough now to take on the clothes of a large city. He hoped that there are a ma jority of the people who favor sewerage and water works of any price. He had drawn up the hill for the water works, and was not afraid to take the responsibility: Ile would not change a sentence of it. Ile believed the bay water good enough for any one. The selection made by the Court for water com missioners was judicious. How can we com pete with other cities nnleis we furnish the same facilities ? He did not deny that there may be defects in our improvements. The point aimed at in the sewerage was to haie them empty at the lowest point in the bay. It was necessary the sewers should have their present depth in order to accomplish their object:- The time to have complained was at the start. No better sy:tem had been Prof posed. He was against it at first, but, bad become convinced that it wits the best plan thateould be devised. All admit that water is needed. The object to be, gained is to se ct:ire the most abundant supply at the lowest cost. An experienced engineer, not n; con tractor or one seeking rnontrads, full examination, reported that there is but one stream south of the city tlintrnould furn ish a supply sufficient for the city. That is Lelkeuf Creek; and its water is not fit to drink. The other stmams were often so dry that they, would•not furnish enough water for -a fleck of sheep. They receive the washings of the farms and roads, and are not as clean as the lake water: Lake Pleasant is. in a hat*, and the water cannot be' brought to the;city without great expense ; .the amount is sometimes so small that it can be run through a two inch augur hole, To concen trate the` steeiriis idto a common reservoir would entail more expense than to lift it from the bay. He had drank bay water for twen ty years, and liked it; it is gooa. We can extend the pipes out into the lake when necessary. A rapid current is ; hourly . run ning in the 'bay. No filth of. appreciable quantity extends into it two hundred feet above the mouth of the canal. It is not the quality of water to affiliate with its opposites except through agitation and distance. The waters of .the Schuylkill, though bordered by coal mines and in'anufactorieS, arc proved by official authority to be chemically pure. If Philadelphia can drink tint water of the Schuylkill Dam,. why should we object to those of the lake? The opposition may be lionest,;bitt it is ill-foiltified t. • . ; 31r. Siegel asserted that there is enough water south of the city to supply us two hundred years. Judge Vincent responded that this was mere assertion, and disproved by- official examinati4a.,- The ‘ frem the high lan& cannot be thrown higher than .Twelfth street, and South Erie would be ex cluded from its benefits.. Mr. Sieel alleged that it could be thrown twice as high as the Reed House. Judge Vincent replied that if Mr. Siegel had once said that 'a horse-Was sixteen feet high he would stick to it. The only way to bring t profrlperitiy is, to carni* the means for securing it. Ne Man wi;hes to 'cast his lot in a community that does not exhibit foresight and liberality. When we had only 6,000 population, 'we went into debt $300,000, yet we are alarmed now at a sum not twice that.' A:community or. i ndiv id ual is of no account until debts are incurred. Lot us gladly meet the burdens that may be necessary to place IA upon the footing we aspire to. Mr. Sherwin, city engineer, made a lengthy speech, explaining the sewerage system, and was followed by Cot Thompson, in a stirring address, appealing to the people to stand by their . efficient servants.' Mr. Galbraith, in answer to repeated calls, said he thought it right'that both sides should be heard. He, found himself for the first time in his life alluded to - ns an old fogy. He had subscribed liberally heretofore, and was al ways glad to do all he could to promote ,the prosperity of the community. He ridiculed the speecheS of Messrs. Vincent and Sherwin, calling out almost incessant applause. Judge Vincent's speech was very ingenious, and had almost convinced him that the best thing to he . done was to empty all our filth into the Rayand then pump it up again for drinking. He had the opinions of Several able engi neers to the effect thatari,abundant supply of water is to be had froth the hillsides. It was impossible' to convince him that, the water of the Bay would be fit to! drink after pouring into it . all the stuff from the canal and sewers. The system would create an eternal expense, costing $20,000 a year foi running, and leaving a deficiency in receipts of $B,OOO at least, aside from interest 'on the bonds.' If it constitutes an old-fogy to be in faVor of judicious expenditures, he'i'las will ing to be called one. He spoke in an affect ing strain of the lard burdens the present system entails upon the pOor. The Water Commissioners have prejudged the case, and the people ought to have an opportunity to decide for them Selves. The art of the Leg: islaturuputs us iri manacles. The - • election on Friday will not decide the issue, as,other questions will control it. He wanted the Wa.ter Cotomissioners to come Before the., people, and allow them an opportunity to say whether they approve their acts or not. Further speeches were made by Messrs. T. B. Vincent, J. P. Vincent, Wm. Bell, jr., C. - Siegel and 0..1. Ball, but dui limited time before going to presi does not admit of giv ing an abstract of -them. The speakers were often interrupted, but, with one exception, all took it in good humor, and the proceed- ings Were as pleasant as We havecver seen at a public meeting. The Committee on reso lutions, consisting of Messis4. W. W. Lyon, J. P.Nincent, L. A. Morrison, Jno. Clemens and' - 1". A. Becker, reported the following: Reitolred, That we heartily endorse the, nomination of Orange Noble as Mayor, and the present system of city improvements. Racgred, That we request our Senator and Representatives to oppose the repeal of so, much of:the Act of April 4, 1867, as grants to . the Court the power to appoint Water Commissioners. • • The "Reform", party have called another meeting, 'for this' (Thursday) evening, and more fun is expected than ever.

The temperance cause was reported to have made much pro gress durng the year past, and one speaker claimed that less ardent spirits were sold now in the city than over before—an asser tion which hardly seems borne out by the increased number of saloons. Mr. Caughey .called attention to the proposed law for a change in the license system, urged the friends of temperance. to' rally for its defeat, and hinted that the city election on Friday was not without its interesting features.

LOWRY offered a resolution in the State Senate, on the sth inst., urging the en largement of our canal upon the favorable consideration of Congress, and asking a Fed eral appropriation to secure its accomplish ment. It would appear from this as if the Senator had arrived at the conclusion that the movement to obtain State aid will be a failure. In that event, our people will have to thank Gov. Geary, whose fears that it might "damage the Radical party," have done more to put a chill upon the measure than all other reasons combined. Tun Democratic State Committee, at its recent meeting, adopted the following reso lution, wltidh we hope: to see promptly acted upon : ' "That we earnestly request the Democracy of each township in the State to take such measures as will secure to every Democrat in their respective districts the reading of lt least one sound and reliable Democratic newspaper, the county newspaper to have preference, and that they will also endeavor to place such paper in the hands of all who are willing to take and read the same."
