sidorablo excitement has boon created

river , upon which not only the
greater part of the city , but also the
river front residents up to Reading ,
depend for wntor supply , has been
poisoned between Beading and Potts-
town by refuse from old copper mines.
The matter was brought to the atten
tion of the board of health and the
park commission , and immediate in
vestigation has been ordered. Thou
sands of fish are floating dead on the
surface of the river.
POTTSTOWN , Pa , July 9. 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. Hun
dreds of people yisitod the banks of
the river to-day.

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 llutlor nskod why Illinois
did not undertake the building of the
proposed oxtonaion.
Sonntor Lognn replied thnt by the
recent amendment of her constitution ,
the atato waa prohibited from engaging
in railroad or canal building. Ho
quoted from the late report by State
Engineer Seymour , of Now York , thnt
in the item of lumber alone the tonnage
nago of the Now York ami Krto cnnn
Inst year wns moro than double thnt o
tlio whole tonnage for the year 1811 :
Ho thought the increase of value o
canal business of late years furnished
sufficient answer to arguments \vliic
trould not hnvo boon moro zonloual ;
urged if their authors had been pan
attornoyn of railroads.
Senator llnwloy maintained the In
adequacy of canal catimntoa , and Mr
Allison quoted statements of the on
gineera who had measured the water
pcwor of Rock river , to substantiate
the accuracy of his previous assertions
on the point.
Senator Butler's amendment waa
carried 29 to 21.
_ On motion of Senator Logan , n pro
yiaion wns added for survey of the Ill
inois and Michigan canal and esti
mates of the cost of enlarging th
aamo , etc. The quo.stlon recurring
upon the committee amendment ai
lunt'iutcd , the ayes and nays were or
derod.
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.
Senator Allison criticised what ho
milled the nervous anxiety of aoiutora
in the matter , and explained thnt the
[ ) rovlaion wns exactly similar to every
jthor for survey
Senator I'ondlolon moved to strike
jut authority to the Bocrotary of war

OiiiUAtio , July 9. 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 ,
