For sev eral days past the water of the Schuylkill river has been impregnated with some poisonous matter that com pletely changed the color nnd ia kill ing fish by the thousands. The water ia of n color similar to that produced by placing a small quantity of indigo into n tub of water Various causes are assigned , though as yet nothinc delinito has been ascertained , the most plausible story bolnt' the pump ing of poisoned or sulphurous water from some abandoned mine in the coal region , which finds its way into the Schuylkill and is gradually mak ing its way towasd the Delaware. Considerable indignation is felt by our citizens , who are , or will bo , com pelled to uao the wator. Not only does the present condition of the water unfit it for use , but the decom position of thousands of dead fish will add greatly to its impurities.

Ht Senator advocated the Htvc Logan pro- vc it. he Senator Williams ridiculed the idea ye a littla canal with twenty-one foot do locks , such us was now con- ro ided for , being sufficient. Ho ro- rdod _ auch work from a national llli tiidpoint as practically worthless. to Senator Windom , in reply to Son- teA < > r Williams , said the Now York and io canal had been a success , though ap width was but eighteen foot , Ho of lid not understand why a twenty- B foot canal should not bo equally : cetsful in Illinois. Ho denied ap it there was any warrant for what toi 1 boon assorted iu the debate as to the worthlo.iancss of the Illinois canal , and referred to the competition charges by rail lj show that lower canal r.xlos had exerted material in- llneneo In cheapening transportation. A like showing was npparent in behalf - half of canals in other portions of the country. Instead of deferring action until n great ship c.uml could bo con structed , the senate should respond to the demand of the weal for something practical. Senator Logan said it had boon charged that the state of Illinois wanted to get rid of the Illinois nnd Michigan canal bccauso that work wns an elephant on its hands. The facts were that the said canal had boon pro fitable nnd the stnto wanted to turn it over to the United States as a connec tion with n gront , wntor wny between the enat nnd the woat by wny of the lakes for the bonolit of commerce gen erally.

Senator llnwloy wnntod n delinito understanding in order thnt the ammo of the senate , as express , d by its vote refusing to bind the government to undertake the work until a full sur vey of the whole canal could bo pre sented , might not be nullified.

The following letter has boon forwarded by Mra. Scovillo to Uov. Dr. Uicka , the spiri- lunl ndviaor of the late Quitoau : Itcv. Dr. 1 ticks : DKAH SinI hear terrible reports as to the disposal of my brotlior'a bed } ' . I undoratand it waa to quietly remain where it wns buried until it should bo thought snfo for us to remove - move it to n suitable plnco of inter- mont. The pnpor which I signed said that wo should hnvo the privi lege of . removing the body whenever wo desired to do so. That contract has boon violated by the removal of the body to the museum without my permission. I , for ono , earo most decidedly as to ev erything connected with his body. His life nnd his money I cnro nothing for. The doctors quarrelled on the . Dr. Lamb's nutopsy. report la con clusive evidence of his insanity , but aside from that 1 can , if necessary , call a witness who saw the autopsy and will loll the truth , and who says there ia not the shallow of n doubt of Ouitoau'a insanity , as proved by what ho Baw t the nutopsy. Of course such evidence destroys the will , the donation of the body , the book copy right nnd all. I think 1 understand why the copyright was wanted , why noti'H of his last hours nnd sayings were wamod , why the story of the poisoned pilleta nnd the poisoned bou quet were sinted. Some people think the Guitonu buainnas ia ended , but as the shout wont up from the crowd ns the signal announced that Charles duitoau was hanging in mid air , I said Lho Guitoau business has just begun. 1'ho stalwarts have "put their foot in it. " Why I Because many people bo- iovo that every official from the pros- dent down know ho wns as crazy ns a oon. It would hnvo boon cheaper for .ho Blalwarts to have taken care of Juitoau. Their purpose , ns I under- itand it , urns to allay any suspicion } ( any complicity anywhere in the nurdor of Uarfield. How hnvo .hoy succeeded ? f The courflo they , has , been the very one o' . < , , , [ appeal to you to take such a course is will protect the president , nnd hrouch him the stalwarts , from any uapicion in the future. I should beery ory sorry to hnvo the republican larty wrecked by a suspicion that my ioor , crazy brother was juat crazy nough to take a hint convoyed to im by artful politicians and to carry ; out successfully just crazy enough > impart his secret to ono rho would never bo suspected f being his confidant , and 'ho ' did not himself realize the im- ortanco of what ho was told , but ho mfossed to ono who did realize the hole purport of the revolution , ipccially when taken in conjunction ith Bovoral letters convoyed secretly y this iinmo person for the poor crazy inn from hit ) cell to his sister. Ho ink this way of posting her. "Murder ill out , " nnd this c.uno out after the : > or follow was in glory. I have imo lottora from Charles , which I mil very soon hnvo published. I ivo n mortgngo of $500 now over- jo on household goods nnd I am jgotiating with n clothing firm to buy harloa' lint , for enough to moot the itorest. Starvation nnd want stare io in the face , unless I can realize imothing from his effects. The moat uportant paat of his estate is the ipyright of his book , and the market iluo of his poor body. Nothing but , ro necessity induces me to think of y brother's body as an nrticly of aflic , but as it is , I have already boon jsocratcd. I now offer what remains ' his poor mutilated body to the ghost bidder for cash. My feelings ivo already boon shocked and lac- vitod beyond restoration. Now I > sire to have you surrender to my al representative in Washington y brother's remains , copyright , nnd urylhingluft by him. Yours' res'y , ( Signed ) FIIANOEB SOOVILLH. THK AUTOl'.SY.
