New Yoke, Nov. 22.—The following are the resolutions adopted at the Ger man-Cuba meeting last night, which, it is intended to lay before Congress at the opening session; Whereas, The people of Cuba are condi¬ not only m the same, but much worse tion than the people of the United States were at the Declaration of Independence, the Spanish Government, allowing under the barbarous rule of the so-calied Spanish volunteers, perpetration toward of most outrageous acts of violence the inhabitants of the iJe of Cuba ; in de¬ fiance of humanity aud civilization, and whereas, their barbarities, which it ap¬ pears are independent of the Spanish Gov¬ ernment, trample alike upon the laws and usuages of humanity and civilization, in¬ sult our flag on the open sea, incarcerate and murder our citizens, therefore, be it Resolved, That we trust the Govern¬ ment of the United States, and Congress, in the name of humanity and civilization, and to the end that a stop may be put to the barbarities in Cuba, and to prevent hereafter such result, and to accord to Cubans now fighting for their independ¬ ence the rights of belligerents, andassoon as possible to acknowledge Cuba as a free li epublio. the Gov¬ Resolved, That we further ask ernment and Congress of the United States to demand of the Spanish Govern¬ ment in Madrid, as well as of the acting authorities of Cuba, full satisfaction for the insult to our flag aud the cruelty com¬ mitted by Cuban volunteers, and to en¬ force these demands with all the means in their power SICKLES REMA INS.

Havana, Nov. 22. — The Diaro says we do not consider it within the bounds of justice or reason that war should re¬ sult from the capture of the Yirginius, and its legal consequences; but if a con¬ flict comes, let us imitate the examples of our ancestry, and make the Spanish race in Cuba the admiration of the American hemisphere. The Vos de Cuba believes in a diplama tic settlement, but praises the activity in repairing forts. —• -—»• —- NEW ORLEANS ON CUBA. New Orleans, Nov. 22.—Enthusiastic mass meeting of the friends of Cuba adopted resolutions expressing admira¬ tion of the devotion and sacrifice of the Cubans during the five years’ contest.

THE * DAILY SUN. YOL. XIX. WATER WORKS. The Proposed Appropriation Considered. Mr. Editor: I am emphatically a Water Works man. I favor them upon the score of health, comfort and safety, and my great desire to have them alone induces me to suggest severjjl insuperable objec¬ tions to tho action of counsel now before the people for their approval or rejection. I am anxious to avoid any difficulty which can possibly defeat the WILL OF THE PEO PLE. Our worthy Mayor may well say that he is anxious to be one of the ad¬ ministration which inaugurates a work which will redound to his credit and be a monument to his children. In reading your local’s report in your issue of the 28th ult., of his honor’s “ calm, sensible and convincing arguments, for which he has a reputation, ” in support of the bill, I wondered that so old an official, associa¬ ted with other veterans in the public ser¬ vice, should have failed to see the defects in the measure they were so interested in. It is not merely desirable, but absolutely necessary, that all acts of deliberative bodies, involving the issuance of bonds, should be beyond any question, or else the bonds go before capitalists with a “taint” which offers good pleading against them, and depreciates their value always. CITY ORDINANCES. On page 79 of the City Law's, section 84, of an Act assented to Dec. 28th, 1853, is found the following: “ It shall not be law¬ ful to issue bonds, use the credit of the City, or its funds,” beyond the sum of “ $10,000 for the purpose of being expend¬ ed or otherwise applied beyond the corpo¬ rate limits of said City, or in aid of any Railroad Company, or any other project foreign to the ordinary purposes of the government of said City, without first passing a resolution to such effect.” The Act submitted to the people is not a reso¬ lution, but an ordinance. Some friend of the measure, with more zeal than judg¬ ment, may take ground that it is “all the same.” But it cannot be; the Act says resolution ; and that a difference exists between a resolution and an ordinance is shown in the fact that, under the rules of Council, the former comes up on its pass¬ age when introduced, while the latter lies over without discussion, and can only be passed at its second reading. It is a fact that at the meeting which completed the Water-works Ordinance, the requisite vote of seven could not have been secured for the measure, and had it come up as a res¬ olution upon its passage it would have been lost. Some fractions taxpayer might suggest the adoption of the form of an or¬ dinance instead of a resolution as good grounds for an injunction, and the plead¬ ings of the capitalist would come in and wax strong indeed, when informed that the bill, whether one thing or the other, had not passed “two successive meetings,” by a majority of the whole Board. Personally, I dissent from the necessity of such action; but to show that grave doubts, (sufficient for capitalists,) must exist, I will review a chapter in the history of city appropriations. In June of 1870, an almost unani¬ mous petition of the prominent tax payers of the city called upon the Council to sub¬ scribe to the stock of the Columbus, La Grange and North Georgia R.R. On 0th June the Council, by a vote of seven to two, passed the appropriation by resolu¬ tion, and directed Mayor Mcllhenny to issue his proclamation to the voters of the City for an election for their ratification or rejection on the 9th of July following. No attempt was made to suspend the rules, as the friends of the measure, under the advice of Peabody & Brannon, city attor nf ^- held thflt a11 ste P s n <* e W to re “; der its action legal had been taken. If Mayor Mcllhenny could doubt the legality of this action ’ P a8sed b y the same ™, te and 3" st as often as 1116 Water Works bill > wi!i not the capitalists and the dis contented tax-payers pick all the flaws their interests may require? So strong was bls P° sltl0n a S alIlst the legality of the bill, that he arrayed himself in opposition to a majority of the board of aldermen, the city attorney, and the most influential Petition ever offered to Council. On June 12th, in reply to severe strictures, he ad dressed a letter of a column to your local ec j itor _ i n w hich he took the ground that ^ re g o]ution under the act of 1837, ap proved Dee. 25, (which the Mayor claimed was superceded by the Act of 1838) should t, e p asse d at two successive meetings by a ma ; or jty 0 f the whole board to become legal. He said that otherwise it “would have been an assumption of authority, and would have had no force or effect in law.” Avoid the “taint,” fellow citizens, if you - , „ , esire se > our 011 don’t build monuments to Aldermen and their children at the sac rifice of the City’s interest. Mayor Moll henny, in the letter referred to above, said: “ During my service in the Council, I have never known or heard of any meas ure involving the expenditure of any sum OV er $300 being carried out until the a ; )OVe p i a i n provisions were first complied with.” The provisions are as plain to-day ^ r were then, and Monte Moore’s re cord shows but one vote upon the passage of the bill. Another trouble exists, which renders ^ ntterly inoperative . gee. 1 reads- “’The management of the Col um persons, to be styled the Board of Commissioners, one of whom shall go out G f 0 gj ce the first day of July each year. Tiie jp a y or an d Council shall annually, in ^ mollt h Q f \i a y e l e ct one Commissioner j | WM* — <»■ «« »< •» V-T* fill the vacancy by the term so expi g. , This is all about elections, except in case i of death. How is the first Board elected ? ! The ordinance does not sav, and the peo object to action by J inference. When authority be readily ^ cai * so am ‘ ‘ - nested in a regular and usual way. Our suffering ^ town can’t wait three years be a majority J of the board is select Mte e ^h May; and yet , ^ ig provided in the ^ maimer COLUMBUS GA., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1873. bill upon which the people are asked to vote. Another point which is full of objec¬ tions is the limit of 80 cents placed upon the bonds. How easy to put on in price of work to meet enhancement of value of bonds! I believe in selecting good men, and relying upon their discretion and hon¬ esty to do the best they can; but if a limit is necessary, require the negotiation and money in band before the work eommen ces. THE $.10,000 FLOATING DEBT. At a meeting of Council, July 4th, 1871, the Finance Committee were authorized to issue $10,000 in bonds to fund the floating debt of the City. John King had arranged to place the lot at 73,but Council limited their sales to 75 c. After months of onerous interest, another Council came in and the bonds were sold, not at 7fl or 73 either, but at the best the market would afford, which was sensible, but not the law. I merely cite this instance that voters may not rely too much upon the 80 cents limit provided by very clever reliable men, bnt whose authority expires with their re¬ tirement from office; whose limit may be stamped out or modified by other Coun¬ cils. THE COST OF WATER WORKS. Last but not least comes the cost. Vo¬ ters will no doubt object to any experi¬ ments with piping on the pipe-stem order, Accepting iron, then, as the basis for our calculations, we are shown by Mr. Bass’s survey that a two million gallon reservoir can be built, and a twelve inch pipe laid to the “northern line of the City at a cost of $100,435.” This calculation was doubt¬ less made without regard to rock excava¬ tion, or the expense of crossing Woolfolk’s branch with the main pipe, or the cost of right of way. A twelve inch pipe must prove inadequate, as the friction in a dis¬ tance of over four miles, with the fall stated, will reduce the supply greatly. But waiving all these objections, and ad¬ mit a reduction of 25 per cent, by the panic, and no depreciation of the bonds from the same cause, and it will require $75,000 cash, (a fair valuation of the en¬ tire appropriation in good times,) to do what? Bring water to the “northern line” of the City. Don’t believe the too pert assertion that “now or never” must decide the fate of Water Works. As good men will repre¬ sent the interest of Columbus in the fu¬ ture as ever graced the Council Chamber in the past. An election is even now at hand. Aldermen can be selected whose discretion, conservatism and honesty will entitle them to the same respect enjoyed by the present Board. Let them decide W'hat the City requires; let it be known exactly; then elect Commissioners. The people are very much interested on this point. Let this Board state what is want¬ ed, and advertise for bids to do the work. When a satisfactory bid, sufficiently gua¬ ranteed as to its performance, is secured, and the cost is within the ability of the City to pay, then the voters can vote intel¬ ligently, not before. Who is afraid of competition? Speak out and say w>hy. Don’t ask Columbus to incur an indebtedness of $100,000 to bring water to the ‘ ‘northern line” of tire City, and then have a deficiency appropriation of one or two hundred thousand more to carry it on to the Bankin House. CONCLUDING WORDS OF CAUTION. It will hardly suffice to reply “I believe from my study of Water Works that it can be done for less;” or, “ I would be willing to guarantee,” <fce. Let responsible per¬ sons have a chance to say, in black and white, what they will do, and then we will know what to expect. Now these are my ideas, and for all my most excellent advice I do not charge one cent; consequently, I shall regard any one as very unreasonable who objects to so good a thing at so cheap a rate. X. Y. Z. ^ ^ jj rlnk Well Water and Vote AgalnBt the Appropriation of $100,000 next Satur day. Next Saturday being the day appointed to vote upon the question of appropration of $100,000 of the city s bonds for the purpose of bringing water to the Northern limits of Columbus, I would suggest to all who desire to see this measure defea. ted, to go to the polls and vote against the appropriation. The Mayor’s proclamation calls upon “the citizens of Columbus to assemble at the Court House.” Does this mean an election, at which every one who lives in the corporate limits can vote, or only those who are registered ? I think it means the first named. If so, how easy to carry this measure unless citizens opposed to the measure turn out in full strength. Factories on half-time, people scarcely a y e to buy provisions and fuel for them Be i ve s and families, and many unable to pay the municipal tax of two per cent, on their property, bonds of all descriptions selling very low, this does not look as if it were the time to saddle $100,000 more of debt upon the citizens, particularly when the measure was so rapidly rushed through the present Council. Drink well water until after the panic, and vote against appropriation.

Extremely Cold Weather—rFew Visitors at the Fair—Imposing Catholic Demon¬ strations — Wo rk on the Netv Cathedral Inaugurated — Capt. Roberts and C}ie wacla lime Interested—Hotels Filling Up—Gala Week in Savannah. Pualski House, Nov. 20, 1873. Editors Sun: It would have been dif ficult to select a more disagreeable week than this has been for holding the Savan¬ nah Fair. The weather has been extreme¬ ly cold and blustering up to this time, and nothing but necessity or an unboun¬ ded curiosity has proved sufficiently pow¬ erful to draw people out of doors, espe¬ cially the ladies; and a Fair without ladies is robbed of its chiefest and fair-e st at¬ traction. Hence the Savannah Fair has thus far proved a very dull and unattrac¬ tive place. On yesterday afternoon, when hundreds of beantiful ladies were expect¬ ed to grace the occasion of the Hussar’s sabre tournament, there were hardly a hundred persons of both sex on the gronnds, although the attendance was larger than it had been on any previous day. The tournament was appointed at an inopportune hour, as the laying of the corner stone of the new Roman Catholic Cathedral took place at the same time, and attracted an immense concourse of people—probably as many as six thousand beiDg present at the commencement of the services. The procession was one of the most imposing ever witnessed in this city, and the various organizations com¬ posing it were highly complimented for their fine appearance and good conduct. Father Rafferty was the only representa¬ tive that we had from your J city, but Ma prominently , ... her con was conspicuous in excellent delegation of about fifty Hiber nians with a splendid banner, who added much to the imposing character of the procession. The services of laying the corner stone were very solemn tive, and were listened to with great pa tience, despite the intense coldness of the weather. We were especially pleased with the eloquent address of Bishop Gibbons, although it was thoroughly Roman Catho¬ lic. He is a fine speaker, possessing a vigorous, cultivated mind, aud many of his utterances were sublimely beautiful. It may not be amiss to refer to a grati¬ fying fact connected with the construo tion of this magnificent Cathedral. Capt. Joseph A. Roberts, formerly of Columbus, has the contract to supply all the lime and cement required in the erection of the walls, and he has already furnished for that purpose large quantities of the cele¬ brated Chewacla lime, from the Yonges- , boro quarries, which now has the control of the Savannah market, having been found a most reliable and desirable arti cle for buildiug purposes. Much of this success, however, is due to the energy and business tact of Capt. Roberts, who ! is fully alive to the necessity for prompt action and untiring fidelity in all com- j mercial transactions. Although we have always found him busy, he has never yet failed to render us any service that we desired at his hands, for which our best thanks are due him. This popular hotel, during the past week, has been the stopping place of quite s attendance upon the sessions of the United Stutes Courts. Wo We think think thsufi these trihunalM tribunals, and the laying of the corner stone of the Cathedral have drawn a great many more people to the city than the Fair has attrae- j ted. All the hotels present a very lively appearance to-day, and it is probable that many of the Catholic delegates will visit the Fair Grounds this afternoon, at which time the running races take place. Notwithstanding the hard times and scarcity of money, this has been a great j 1 week for amusements in Savannah. Balls and parties have occurred nearly every ! night, the Great Eastern Circus has per¬ formed to the largest crowds we ever saw uuder a canvass, while the Little Eldridge Troupe, under the management of Messrs. Barker and Spalding, has played to fine audiences at the theatre. This splendid company will be in your city in a few weeks, and we commend it to the liberal patronage of your theatre-going commu¬ nity. Harry Pearson and Belville Ryan, old favorites, are with this troupe, which is securing very excellent notices from the press here. Sidney Herbert. A Profitable Investment for Capitalists.
