Albany, Marchi.".*..Mayor Edson, of New-York,appeared before tbe Sen it*? Committee on Citiesthis afternoon, in company with Corporation Coun¬

sel Antirews, 0. B. Totter and Hugh N. Camp, bis

f. Ilow-members of the Aqueduct Comniission, andmade an argument in favor of the CoLnniissiou's bill

to secure au increased supply of water for Ne****.Y.>rk. Mr. Ellson stated that the members of the

Aqneluct Commission hail beld a meeting in New-

York yesterday, at which they had materiallychanged the memtierehip of the proposed Coastal*-sion that is to have charge of the coustrneiion of

tb© new a.'iueiluel, and its icservoirs. They haddecided that the Mayot, Coat roller and President ofthe Department of Faxes and A-westuients wiro too

hard winked oftlcera to be expected to do the activework of the proposed Aqueduct <.'onions ion. Theyhail therefore unanimously substituted for the Com¬mission named iu the bill a Commission to consist of

the Mayor, the Controller, the Commissioner of

Public Work* and four citizens lo bo named by theMayor. The four citizens wero expected Io

do the hard work of the Commission, the

Mayor and Controller would occupy the positionof ex-ofticio members aud the Commissioner of

Public Works wouitl be the right arin of the Commis¬sion iu the superintendence of tbe work. It has

koeal provided that the four citizens sliould ba citi¬zens of the Stale and taxpayers in New-York.O. B. Potter lollowed Mayor Edson. He .-aid:

" We have thrown the responsibility for this work

on the four citizens. We make the Cammi *____M r

of Public Works the arm of the Commission every¬

where. Where the responsibility in the present billis thrown upon the Commissioner of Public Works,in this bill we*, throw that responsibility on theCommission.*'

Commission non-partisan tMr. Potter.We believe it can be done.Senator Daly.What do you mean by a non-parti*

eau Commission tMr. Potter.Wt. mean that politics shall not be

considered in constructing Hie aqueduct. We me_.ii

to (he Mayor, (hat wc should know who the citizen

members of the Commission arc to be. Wouldn't it

| v more contidence to he taxpayers?Mr. Potter.We were un inunoiislv of tho opinion

that the citizen members of thi*Commission shouldrem .in continuously in ollie* till the work is com¬

pleted and give their whole lime lo the work.Sit ator Daly.Are the citizen members to serve

wit bout pay tMr. Potter.No, sir. Tht Board of Apportion¬

ment is to state their salary ; and it ib not to exceed

$H,000 each a year. It is importaui that we have

men of ability and talent. We have entire con¬

fidence that tbey will be men of high character.The otBiers named in the original lull ure overl "ail¬ed willi business now. They would not have that

t"iiti'itii!i_r interest wlii.li is necessiry. We are

coutideiit that ihe Mayor will give us good linn.

The vania.j

ground for 1*84 is to lie won or lost in Ohio alone.this yenr, and not as heretofore in conjunction witbMaine and Indiana. He did not como to press the.lutn.< of any particular candidate, he saul,hut the appointment of Major Butterworth would,he thought, he very acceptable to OhioRepublicans, who, ho declared, were oot un¬

friendly to the Administration and bad soughtlo judge it fairly and without prejudice.Tbe President appeared to be impressed by Geo-

strung reasons in favor of giving Ohio a representa¬tion in thc Cabinet at this time.A Republican Senator to-day said he belioyed

that eitlnr ohio or Indiana would now receive a

Cabinet appointment. He intimated also that thePresident might think ll wis-i to transfer SecretaryCbaadler to the Pool O lice Department, and take .

Secretary of the Navy (rmi OOO of the States be¬fore mentioned. Ibis hardly seems probable, how¬ever.C.lionel T. II. Keogh arrived in Washington to-

prospects ol' Republican success in Ohio this year Pasked a Tumi nc. correspondent of an experiencedOhio politician to-day." The prospects have recently improved greatly

and we are feeling greatly encouraged. If the Leg¬islature will act wisely respecting the liquor ques¬tion, ami I think K is going to do so, we shall enterthe campaign with very strung hopes of success, ifthe President tills the vacancy in his Cabinet witbau OBin m_t.li that also will be a great help to us.""Who is likely to receive the nc-iniuatiou for Gov¬

ernor T"" I hi I cannot tell. One of the most favorable

signs is that nobody seemi pledg-d to support anyparticular candidate. Occasionally tbo name olex-President Hayes is menti'ine.l.""Would he he a strong can.lnl.it- f"" W.H. I have nat given that snbtect mach

thought, simply hecau*e I havo not believed that bowould he willing to re-enter politics at this time.Ha ia I.viiig quietly at his home in Fremont andappears to he enjoying himself. BOflBft of our peoplethink thu! Governor Poster ou_jht to make the race

again. Kx-Repivseutative Hutterworth is alsospoken of and he would be a popular candidate. Ihave seen Senator Sherman's name mentioned in thenewspapers as a probable candidate, hut I have no

means of know nu. whether he would accept taonoiuinaiion. Judge Lawrence, First Controller ofthe Troisiiry, has tttma friends and I believe hewould Im very glad to secure the nomination."" When is the State Convent. tu In* heltlf "" On .linn' .") and ii. There is a lom; ticket to be

made, ten can lidaics in all, and i! has been decidedto five two .lay* io Hie work, something that baanot been done heretofore."

Alioth- r prominent Ohm politician to-night said:" I think our prospects are improving, hut a greatdeal will d.-pcml up -n th-, a-tiou of tue L**gis!aturerc ini ng the liquor question. Two propositioueare before theBB, One is a proposed cui.titinioualuuit-nilmetit, md thc Other is a lull to impose a spe¬cial tax up m dealers in malt and spirituous liquors.Tho tait.-r measure, 1 believe, is favored by live-sixths of the people of the St ito. It is no! like tbePond license law, and would not, we believe, beh.-ld to he in contravention to our StateConstitution. The dillerences of opinion amongRepublicans respecting lt spring from nulleranf detail which, 1 hope, will not prove s-riaiu

enough to endanger the pro;>oied legiduti hi."" Who will ba nominated far Governor t" asked
