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 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. W’ashburne stated that the committee on Commerce had the subject uader discus sion, and had fully sossidered it. The point he had insisted ou iu committee was that there should be a condition in the bill that the Gov ernment should have the frse use of this tele graph at ail times, as well in peace as iu war If the friends of the bill would agree to au amendment to that effect, he would appeal to the House to put the bill on its passage. 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 telligence from Cuba, and from South Ameri ca. 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 man from Massachusetts, (Mr. Baldwin.) He was opposed to all monopolies ; but this matter had been very thoroughly discussed In the Senate, and it appeared that there was no danger of such a state of things as the gentle man apprehended.

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.
