HOUSE.
Mr. Ward, of New York, made a statement j
to the House He had received numerous let
ters fr< m friends and relatives of dec-a ed sol- i
diers, buried on the cemetery at Arlington |
heights a* to the title which the government j
had to the property iuterred, fearing that the !
bones of the soldiers there might revert to the j
heirs of the arch traitors, he .iad addressed a !
communication to the Secretary cf War on the
subject, and bad received an i.nswer which he
deemed of eufficieut public importance to have
read. It stated that at a sale if public lands
for unpaid taxes, on tbe 11th ct January. 1864,
the Arlington estate, including toe grounds re
ferred to, had been bidden for by the United
States, for $26,000, and afterwards turned over
to the military authorities. The certificates of
sale were in the hands of the United States tax
commission at Alexandra, bu* wonld soon be
placed on file in the Treasury Department.

granting lands to the State ol iawa in alternate

yesterday from the committee on the whole.—
The vote on tbe amendment authorizing the
appointment of a solicitor to tbe State Depart
ment, at a salary of $3,000, was taken up by

72, nays 39. The other amendments were also
agreed to aud the bill passed.
The House proceeded to the consideration of
the act to facilitate poßtal and military commu
nication among the several States which had

Mr. Hair’s bill proposed to reimburse 25 per
cent of the war expenses of the States, the
amount to be distributed in 5 per cent bonds,
in proportion to tbe number of soldiers fur
nished by the States, respectively, $55 for
each man furnished, the bonds not to be ne
gotiated for 20 years. The total amouat em
braced in the bill Is $118,000,000. His bill
would nominally and really add to the nation
al debt for local, and tbe States would be
relieved In a proportionate degree, and tbe
local debt was the most oppressive of all, for
It called for a direct tax on real and personal
property, pay both Interest and principal, and
this direct tax was all the more oppresive cn
the agricultural country, from the fact that eo
large a proportion of personal property and
brought investments in government bonds,
which were specially exempt lrom State and
municipal taxation. The general government
had more than over-absorbed all the Indirect
and readily available channels of taxation, and
had thus taken from tbe State* all the easy
modes of raising revenue. To quote the lan -
guage of Mr. Hamilton, you said in regard to
tbe revolutionary debate in 1790, justice is not
completely fulfilled until tbe entire debate of
every State connected In the support of the
war is embraced in one general and compre
hensive plan of payment
The House then adjourned.

Mr. Baldwin, of Massachusetts—There
should be some provision in the bill to guard
against such private use of this telegraph as
would allow a monopoly of commercial In

Snob a monopoly would allow t e owners of
this telegraph line to carry on gigantic specu
lations. It was a privilege for which men
would pay very heavily.
Mr, Washburne stated that fat was a good
dea of the same way of thinking as the gentle

FUTURE COTTON CROP.
Extract from a letter dated Columbus, Ga.,
March 21, 1866, the writer of which Is an ex
perienced and highly intelligent and reliable
planter:
“Accounts from freedmen begin to be less
favorable. My own overseer writes me that the
women hands lose more and more time under
the plea of sickness, and that the single yonng
men will go away on pretended business or
pleaauro whenever they feel Inclined for a
holiday. lam so well convinced that they will
not do to rely upon that I have written my
overseer to turn out 20 per cent of the land I
had laid out for cotton, and would formerly
have cultivated easily with the same number
of hands ; I believe that you will find that
report such as this will increase greatly In
frequency aa the warm weather advances.”
Extract from a letter dated Oxford, Ga„
March 21st, 1866, the writer of which Is a close
thinker and a gentleman of sagacity :
“ One can well judge what is to be done
In the cotton planting question in ray section,
now that the peed are about being planted*.
I have taken some pains to make an estimate
for this [Newton] county, based upon inquiry,
made by myself, of the largest and medium
planters residing within reach of me. The re
sult, so far, satisfies me that there will not be
raised in this rounty, by all the means and
appllanoes brought upon the farrasrs, more
than or, e fifth [l-5] the crop of 1860 and 1861
—and the same for DeKaib, Walton, Henry and
Jasper counties, joining this. Arrangements
were made to double this at the start, but the
laborers cannot be had -they are not In the
oountry—and hence, many an acre, designed
originally for cotton, Is to be placed in corn.
Again : the want of capital the high price of
labor in Mississippi and the West, have caused
several persons to ab-ndoa almost entirely
the cultivation of cotton. I know of four plan
tations certainly, and Urge ones, which have
been almost entirely abandoned from these
causes, since the Ist of March. lam not a bet
ting mari, but, being somewhat in need of a
small raise, would not object to making a small
rrsk on the cotton crop of Middle Georgia for
the year 1866. What keeps cotton down ?
There must be many a fortune made in pur*
chuslng at these iow figures The orop for the
coming year will be soon defined, and then If
the question of snpply and demand regulates
the price, It will go up like a sky rocket.”
The Wisconsin Senate has passed a negro
suffrage law, in face of the fact that the people
by a large majority, voted It down at the late
election.
THE GREAT FIRE IN CINCINNATI.
OSH MILLION DOLLARS - WCBTB <F PSOrXRTT DB
tTRGTEB—INTi*K-TISQ PARTICULARS
We extract from our Cincinnati exchanges of
the 231, the following details of the terrible
conflagration whieh occurred in that city on
the night of the 22d :
The fire originated in Pike’s Opera House.
About half past eleven o’clock, the private
watchman of the building, Michael Tocney,
Started with a lantern to go through the build
lug, to make sura that all was safe. Since that
time, and up to the pse®ent writing, lam.,
nothing has been seen of him It is supposed
that upon opening the door of the scenio room,
where the gas had undoubtedly been esgaping,
it ignited, aad the explosion ensued.
In less than five minutes after the first
flames were eeen to issue from the fourth story
windows of the back part of the building, tho
whole back portion of the roof was a mass of
flames. The flames spread with fearful fury,
and almost before thoss who had quickly
gathered oa the spot could realize that tbe ter
rible spectacle before them was not a dream,
the whole Inside of the building was in one
mass of flames. The fire, la its demon fury,
next communicated to the rear portion of the
roof of the Enquirer office. From there to a
small frame building on tbe upper side of
Baker street, occupied by H, P. Hopkins, sign
painter ; from there to tbe gambling house of
Leur ft Mead, immediately in the rear of the
Opera House ; then immediately east to the
stable of the Adams Express Company ; thence
across tha street to the roof of Whaley’s gamb
ling bouse, all on Baker street, on the Fourth
street tqaare. It spread from the Opera House
to the two three story buildings between the
Opera House and Sprague’s building. Oa the
east It oommunicated to the four story briok
bulling occupied by S. Holmes & Go. as a
wall paper aud window shade establishment
At 2:30 this morning, we learn the following
particulars of tbe lost on Fourth street ;
PHue’s Opcka Housa ; in this building were
the Adams Express Company ; the National
Union office ; Buckeye Billiard Saloon ; Wes
tern Ageut Wheeler ft Wilson's Sewing Ma
chines, Jand also Bradbuy’s Pianos ; A. 0.
P*ers ft Cos music publishers*; Strowbridge
ft Gerlacb, lithographers ; Bryant Stratton ft
Dehan’s Commercial Collt-ge ; Harpel’s com
mercial printing office. East of Pike’s were F.
P. Hadly boot aud shoemaker ; S. Holmes ft
Son, paper hangers ; D. H. Baldwin, agent for
sale of pianos, orbans aud melodiaus ; John
T. Wilson, merchant, A. T. Clarke, gentle
men's furnishing store. West of Pike’s were,
the “Do You Smile’’ Saloon . Nibleit ft At
kinson's saloon ; J. W. Langley, dealer in
cigars, tobacco, ate., and a gambling house.
Mr. N. 8. Pike’s loss is estimated at $1,000,-
000, on which was an Insurance of only $38,000.
Mr. 8: Wilson’s cloak house, on the upper side
of Fourth, caught fire and was damaged to the
extent of about $2,000 ; fully insured Messrs.
Niblett ft Atkinson’s loss is about SIB,OOO, on
which there was insurance of SIO,OOO. The
‘‘Do You Smile’’ saloon loss is about $lO 000,
partly insured. Buckeye Billiard Saloon—lota
about SIO,OOO, partly insured. Harper’s less
about SB,OOO, no insurance. Bryant, btratton
& Delian, loss about SB,OOO, no insurance.
Strauss, arthr, loss in paintings, about $3,000,
no Insurance. Strowbridge ft Cos, Lithograph
ers, estimated loss 10,000. A. C. Peters, loss
about $25,000. Wheeler & Wilson, heavy loss,
as they had a large stock of sewing machines on
hand, could not learn whether Insured or not.
Adame' Express Company, logs not known,
papers and valuable documents saved. 8.
Holmes ft Son, F. P. Hulder, John J. Wise and
A. J Clarke were damaged more by water
than by fire. The losses we were unable to
ascertain. Tbe building on the corner of
Fourth and Vine, occupied by Bprague, as
a olothier, W. R. Clapp ft Cos., manufacturers
of Jewelry, and a number of others, was not
damaged whatever, notwithstanding tbe flames
raged on tbe east side and rear ot it to a fearful
extent.
Philip Philips, agent for Bradbury’s Pianos,
next door to Wheeler A Wilson, suffered a
heavy loss.
R. W. Carroll & Cos., book publishers—loss
estimated at SIOO,OOO In stock, partly covered
by insurance. Daily Motional Union office—
loss estimated at SI,OOO, on whioh there is no
insurance
the flames, as we have already said, from
the Opera House spread rapidly to the En
quirer office,and soou the whole building was
in a mass of tiro. The upper portion of the
back wall toon fell, and was followed by the
floor of the fourth story, used as the news
room. The falling of th s floor necessitated
the falling of that of tbe story immediately
underneath, and the burning debris whioh de
scended with it, soon fired the whole building.
Messrs Farrin & McLean, the proprietors
of the Enquirer, estimates their loss at SIOO 000,
upon which they have an insurance of $60,000
This is the second time they have been burn
ed oat within a year.
On Baker street the Acmes made sad rava
ges. They first commenced at the stable of
Adams’ Express Company, located in the
old colored church. In this stable were
quartered soverai horses belonging to the
Company, but they were all taken out safely
tome four or five wagons were burned, toge
ther with ail the harness, feed, Ac. From
here the fire spread to the gambling bouse
So Messrs Lehr £ Mead and the whole
baildlng was completely gutted. The walls
are so badly injured that they will have to be
polled down, if they have not already fallen.
Tho gambling house of Mr. Whaley, adjoining
the Opera House on the East, was next attack
od by the deadly fiend. The greater portion
of the building, however, was saved, and the
principal toss will; therefore, be by water.
At this writing, 3 A M., we learn that
Mlobael Toohey. the private watchman at the
Opera House, has turned out all right. He
can give no aecount of the origin of the fire
but says he does not think it was occa
sioned by an explosion of gas.
The flames were fiist discovered about hal
au hour subsequent to the letting out of the
audience, which we* most fortunate. Had tbe
alarm occurred when the theatre was filled
with the audience, the loss of life would have
been awful and terrible, as it was, the actors
lost every stitch ol wardrobe, which, no doubt,
could be parted with more satisfactorily than
with life. Madam ZivLstowcki is among the
sufferers. The elegant dresses and robes
which comprised her own and the children’s
wardrobes were completely and entirely lost.
Two men were reported killed by the falling
of the cornice in front of the Opera House,
soon after the fire began. In the confusion at
tending the great conflagration, it was impos
sible to ascertain their names. There was a
rumor that one mau was smothered under the
ruins of the Opera House.
Few, if any, more destructive flree than this
have ever occurred In the West.
INTERNAL REVENUE ITEMS.
Avery prominent feature of the internal
revenue receipts is the tax upon dividends de
clared by banks and ether corporations, added
to the tax on their capital. Last year thadivi
fiends of ten of the prominent banks in this
City amounted to 8606,046 60, and the revenue
tax to 839.163 56. For the same time the
taxes on tweuty private banking institutions
amounted to $28,604 51. From street rail
wayß the Government derives no Inconsidera
ble amount of revenue The Chicago City
Railway Company declared during 1865 a
dividend of 836,842 10 ; tax on dividend and
capital. $1,842 10. The Northern Chicago City
Railway Company, on the 4th of July, 1865
declared a dividend on the business of the pre’
vioos year of 928,016 ; tax on dividend and
capital, $2,480. On the 12ih day of September,
this company declared a dividend for the pre
vions two months’ bustness of |8,357 20 ; tax
on same and capital, $417 90 The West Divi
sion Railway Company, on the 31st May, 1865,
declared a dividend on the previous Beven
months’ business of $14,473 68 ; tax on divi
dend and surplus, and tax on capital, $776 90.
On the 80th day of September, tne same com
pany declared a dividend of sl4 473 68 ; tax
on same and on capital, $1.890 21. On the
Siet day of October, the same company declar
ed a dividend of sl4 473 68 ; tax on same,
$723 68. On the 31st day of December, 1865,
this company declared adtvidend of $33,157 90;
tax on same, $1,657 99.—CA icago Journal.
In the temporary absence of their command

disquiet of the citizens.
