A Simple, Inexpensive, Imt Powerful Ar ritiiRemcut for IlaUluff Water Wliat was Seen at WrideatmrK -Fifteen Million Gallons of Water a Day from a 30-tncU Pump. A number of gentlemen, nnder the leadership of Colonel Barton II. Jenks, whose extensive machine-shops have contributed bo much to wards the prosperity and reputation of our city, were yesterday taken to Brldesburg In the mini ature yacht Harold, the property of Colonel William B. Mann, to note the operation of a newly-patented compound pump. Mechanics have, from time immemorial, set their wits to work to devise an appliance to raise water at any elevation, that should be simple In its con struction, economical In its operation, and com paratively cheap in its first cost. All these qualities are met in tho uncomplicated though marvellously powerful pump rather elevator which has been produced at the works of Colonel Jenks. The pump at work yesterday may be thus brlelly described: A cast-iron pipe about 12 feet lone: and 30 inches in side diamoter, which stands upright in a basin of water, the lower end of it resting upon an iron basket, or guard, to prevent stones and the like from passing into the pipe. From the upper end projects a nozzle to direct the stream of water as it is pumped up. Through this cast-iron pipe is run a Bteel shaft, upon which, at intervals of about four feet, are placed cast-iron propeller wheels, each of two blades, with an angular pitch of sixty-five degrees. Having described this much, the reader will at once discover, "in his mind's eye," the principle on which this pump works. At the top of the steel shaft is a pull eighteen inches in diameter, and ran by a 10-inch belt at the rate of four hundred revolu tions to the minute, the motor being a 23 horse power engine. Thus it was, and much to the astonishment of the party that yesterday eaw it, that thcse.two propeller wheels, running at the speed we have mentioned, discharged from the pump ten thousand gallons of water fivr minute, six hundred thousand gallons in an hour, and nearly fifteen million gallons of water per day, or just one-half of the amount supplied by all the engine pumps in the entire water works of the city of Philadelphia ! The register for indicating the quantity of water raised by the pnmp has a paddle wheel 20 inches in diam eter, with a worm gearing into an index wheel with ICO teeth. The index wheel is revolved by the passage of the current of water once in two minutes and a half, and in one minute registers the passage of 4021 inches of water. The falls is 101 Inches in width, with an average depth of 5)ia inches, showing the passage, as stated above.of 10,0!8 gallons, or over 40 tons of water, per minute. But Colonel Jenks has added another, and a striking improvement to this Invention. He has avoided the great amount of friction which would otherwise be caused by the weight of the shaft and the propellers supporting a heavy column of water, by constructing at the top of the pipe a disc, upon which rests a ring of brass, and upon this rests another disc em bracing the outer periphery of the brass ring, nnd which is permanently secured to the pro peller shaft. By means of a small donkey pump water is forced between the two discs under suf ficient pressure to slightly separate them, so.that the top disc, propeller ehuft, and column of water are supported by tho film of water be tween them, and thus the rotation of the pro peller shaft revolving on the water causes only a very small amount of friction. There is In successful operation at Glen Car bon Colliery now one of these compressed pro peller pumps. The principle upon which it works is identical with that at work at Brides burg. It differs, however, in this: While the inside diameter of the pipe is but eight inches, its length is three hundred feet long, and of it nn engineer says: 'On revolving the shaft, a constant ana solid Btrcam of water flows from rue elevator at m,.- rto of 1700 gallons per minute the propeller lifting the water ou to stationary wings or blades above it, by which It is supported, and from which it is taken by the next succeeding propeller, and so on until tne water Is discharged, thus avoiding all valves or com plicated machinery. The advantages claimed for this elevator are economy In tost and running ex penses, great simplicity and durability, small amount of friction, and ability to lift large bodies of water to any height with the smallest expenditure of power. This elevator appears to be peculiarly adapted for deep mines, where large quantities of water are to be raised, and they can be made of auy Blze or capacity." The advantages of this pump are thus sum marized: First. Its great simplicity of construction, having no valves, and consisting of but three pieces, pipe, shaft, and propeller. Second. Economy, costing much less than any pump of the same power. Third. Us enormous power. The eight-Inch pump yielding 1700 gallons per minute, at a height of aoo feet; the twenty-inch punrp giving lo.Oou gallons to the minute. Fourth. It sustains, with bnt little friction, a column of water at any height desired. Fifth. It can be used either as a lift or force pump. sixth. It requires no oiling, and is adapted for all kinds of mines, quarries, breweries, dye-houses, or any place where water Is an annoyance, and Is especially useful for waterworks la towns and cities, as the water can be Introduced by this apparatus at less expense than bj any other system. Seventh. Hand, mud, sticks, and other rubbish do not interfere with its operations. This pump is to be brought to the attention of Councils. One thing is certain, should it be adapted to municipal purposes, that the cost of maintenance would he remarkably small, in comparison with our present heavy expenditures to keep up a supply, while the volume would be more adequate to our wants. While the Bridesburg Manufacturing Com pany have the entire control of the manufacture of these pumps, the patent right belongs to the Hydrostatic und Hydraulic Company of Penn sylvania, chartered unlcr tho general laws of this State, of which company Colouel Barton 11. Jenks is President. THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY A .loll j- Crowd of Fifteenth Amend men t Six In a nf(iu uud the Vujou Uet. Driving down Thirteenth street, near Walnut, lust evening, was a frail Jenny Llnd wagon, la the meagre proportions of which there were crowded six large colored men. The springs of the vehicle bore testimony to the fact that a very little more weight would render that wagon a wagon bo more. The vehicle was also very top-heavy, for two of the men were standing upon the axletree, which mate ri illy added to the insecure hold the vehicle had on the ground. When near Walnut street the driver attempted to pull out of the track, and in dolug so the whole concern made as complete an upset as it was possible to do. One of the men standing on the axle was plunged headlong against a tree-box. He was not hurt, but the tree-box tea. The proprietor of the Iree-box need the remnants for kindling-wood this morning. The head of the other negro came in violent concussion with an ash-barrel. Was the ash-barrel injured? It certainly was, ior the side "was crusty in, and the ashes scattered in all direction)!. The owner of the barrel thinks it very wrong for parties to destroy rcronertv in that way. To add to tha dlsenm. fitnre of the affair, the remaining inmates of the wasron were mixed up in the most, inextrlca ble confusion, and when thev were diseuunjrled they presented the most ludicrous appearance of clothes torn, bloody noses, ashes in the wool, and mud from head to heels. Singular to say, none of them were seriously injured. Tin Gloriois Fifteenth Amendment. 2ulte a number of colored citizens, in honor of the glorious day which secured to thein the right to help to rule "the best Government the world ever saw," got arunif yesterday and tele brated the day with frequent pugilistic encoun ters, inis was me exception, tor the majority of our new citizens eouducted themselves nulte as well as white people would have done under ucn circumstances.

THE FIRST OF AmiL. The Feast of Fools It Origin nnd History Its Observance. To-morrow's sun in its annular and annnal course will bring to us once more the first of April, conspicuous in the calendar as the day .upon which foolishness Is particularly rife, and wnich by common consent has come to be known by the name of All Fools' day, perhaps after the fashion of Its opposite, "Alt Saints' day," though it has no other official designation than the nnmeral of the month in which it occurs. Concerning the occasion, the well-known Scot tish bard, the Ettrlck Shepherd, sings thus: "Hail, glorious dawning! hall, aupt-ioiis morn! April the First! grand festival, all hail ! My souring muse In goose-qulll pinion horn, From mat wide itrutio snag m Mil ion s tale, Hastens to pay thee love, and reverence duo, For thou to me a day most sacred art; Ana i Biiau can around a jovial crew, Who love and worship tliee with slnsrie heart. Conic crowned In foolscap, rolling forth tals dav. Hail, mighty mother, hall : hull, glorious All Fools' uoy ; From this it will be teen that at least one great poet has condescended to notice tho day with all the flourish of poetic license. It may be objected that the occasion does not call for any such effusion, aud that the words "Inde pendence lMy, or some sncn phrase, could more properly be inserted in place of "April the First; but this only serves to show how much more the day was esteemed In former ages, and of what an ancient date the festival is. But in this prominent mention the old- time shepherd is not alone. Other great poets have also noticed the occasion in a conspicuous manner, for what says the immortal Shake speare? From tho following extract, which every true student of that great poet will instantly recognize, the reader may learn at least one old- time method, now perhaps rather wanting in novelty, of making the luckless wight, who is not upon his guard, to play the fool for the edi fication of the bystanders. Here it is: "Call him: call turn, man! And when he comes, when his foul front Is from you turned. do you a scroll of words unto his tail make fast, whereon is writ fool. fool. That all may know his calling and his aim." The origin of the day is so remote that no authentic account can be given of how the va rious practices peculiar to the season originated. Some attribute them to the Persians, whose orgies, at tho time of the beginning of the year. which was then about April, resembled the tricks and fooleries of modern times. But against this explanation we have steadfastly set our face as unfair. The Persiaus now have the monopoly of origin of nearly all the festivals, ecclesiastical and civil, which are upon our calendar. It is therefore supposed that they originated everything In that line. If this tide of opinion, or research perhaps (so called), Is not checked, we may be obliged next February also to attribute to them the observances peculiar to the 22d of that month, commonly called Wash ington's birthday. Of late years the foolish practices of the season have fallen much into disuse, save among a few urchins, who are ever ready for a laugh at any body's expense, but whose intellects are not yet sufficiently developed to produce anything new in the line of jokes; the same old "stagers" doing duty year after year, until now but few are deceived Dy wera. A nrst-ciass "sell on tne 1st of April would be so refreshing that its effects would willingl3T be borno by those upon whom it might be played, but the threadbare ones in vogue, repeated incessantly, give but little pieneure to the performer, and nothing but vexation to the victim. Nearly every other festival of the year is ob served in a particular manner by some society or organization, who are especially interested. Hut poor "All Fools' day" has.no such honor. There is no organized body of "Fools" owning to the name who in the list of toasts of their annual dinner give "tho day we celebrate." This year, however, we understand this want is to be partially, at least, supplied. The day which nobody' will father has at last been claimed ry a class in tue commnuity whose newsboys, those valuable little aiders of one of the world's greatest institutions, have taken the day in hand as their own peculiarly, and will celebrate it in their own peculiar mauner. To this no one can certainly make objection, and if such celebration will take the place of the many less harmless tricks to wnich the news boys in particular are addicted, we say it is a very good move in the right direction. 1 be particular features of the occasion are to be a "feed." given by all, except one, of the newspaper proprietors of the city, to the boys, in tne press-room oi a city newspaper csiaousn mcnt, and a parade of the boys and their friends, who are to march, so to speak, nnder tho fools banner that Is, they are to do their foolish ncss according to law and order, instead of every one for himself and in his own way, which has always been the rule. They will carry appro priate paraphernalia, emblems, and inscriptions, In which latter, we venture to predict, their friends the proprietors will not bo forgotten. The procession, which is under the entire con trol of the boys themBclvcs, and which will I . i 1 , 1 V. 1, 5 . . 1 4 .1 do coDoucieu exclusively vy uuicero cioclcu from their own number, is to march from Car ter's alley, a place much frequented by the pro- r i ! - . t 111 I 1 ... . l . lCBtiou, ruuiuiis; eaei iium xuiru wcci, uciwecu Chesnut and Dock streets, at eight o'clock A. M., at which time the boys will be comparatively lree, being about through with the sale of the morning papers, and not yet ready for those of the afternoon. We believe his Honor Mayor Fox has been made acquainted with the par ticulars of the affair, and in the kindness of heart peculiar to that genial gentleman, has given orders for a squad of policeman to accom pany the procession, which will pass over seve ral of the most prominent down-town streetx. A full report ef all that may transpire will be found in TnE Telegraph of the same afternoon, which all who are at all interested in the news boys will do well to consult. EXPLOSION. A IIImhI Pipe ISxulotles IuSIoitIh' Foundry. An explosion occurred yesterday at the iron woiks of I. P. Morris A Co., at Richmond and Norris streets, that had it occurred at any other hour might nave been attended by the most frightful cousequences. The hour was at dinner time, when the workmen were absent from the shop, and at that time the blast pipe exploded with a tremendous report and a most violent concussion. Three hundred panes of glass were shattered to pieces, and all articles within reach were knocked about and heaped in the utnioft confusion. The bulldiug itself was damaged tosome extent. Petty Thefts. Frank Smith yesterday stole a quantity of money from the cash drawer of a store at Ninth and Clinton streets, and for this offense he has been sent to prison by Alderman ilorrow. John Hay was arrested by Officer Moore at Sixth and Alaska streets In the act of sneaking out of a store with a pair of gaiters be had Btolen when inside. Alderman Hogaa has sent Hay to prison. Larceny op a Watch. A policeman at Twelfth and Locust streets last night beard a man cry "Stop thief !" lleiaw a fellow run across the street, und ran over aud caught him. Presently a man came up and accused the pris oner of stealing a watch aud chain, after having beaten him. The accused was taken before Alderman Mrrow, when he gave the name of James Drown. He was held to answer.

Kiw. S. Bathes, -. V ice -Consul. Honf-E Run Aw ay. A horse ran away yester day afternoon at Delaware avenue and Walnut street. Attached to the animal was a wagon, which, coming in furious contact with a lamp post, was demolished.to diminutive smithereens. The lamp-post was snapped short off, causing the gas to escape. The remnants of the wagou finally were jammed up against an iron post, and there the frightened auluatl was secured. SUBURBAN TR1SSIT. Additional Train on I lie Gcrutniit own Ilallroad Depot Improvements. We learn that twenty-one additional passen ger trains will be placed npon the Herraautown and Norristown Railroads on anil after next Monday, April 3, making a total of ninety-six passenger trains dally to and from Ninth nnd Uieen streets. Of tbeso there will be twenty nine trains each way between Philadelphia and (icrroantown, fifteen trains each way between Philadelphia and Chjsnut Hill, nineteen trains each way between Philadelphia and Manavunk, and fifteen trains each way between Philadel phia nnd Norristown. One train will be run to Phienlxvillo, leaving Ninth and (ireen streets at l,1 P. M., and returning from Phnpnixvlllo at 4J P. M. The Chester Valley regular passenirer train will also run via the Norristown Road to and from Ninth and Green streets, leaving Downingtown at 0-40 A. M., arriving in Philadelphia at 8 A. M , and returning, leaving Philadelphia at 4 '40 P. M., arriving at Downington at 6 P. M. Addi tional trains will be run on the Plymouth Rail road, and direct connection made at Consho hocken with trains to and from Philadelphia and Norristown. There will also be a large in crease in the number of Sunday trains, forty trains being run to and from Philadelphia Instead of eighteen, as at present. Important improvements are now being com pleted at the pascenger depot, Ninth and Green streets. The ladies and gentlemen's rooms and ticket office, with their appurtenances, are being remodelled, papered, and painted, and the entire depot arranged for the exclusive use of the pas senger business. The milk business will be transferred to another building, ont of the way of passengers. A greater number of the spacious and comfortable passenger cars of the Reading Railroad Company will also ho placed upon the (iermantown and Che-nut Hill branches, as well as on the Norristown Road as soon as the tracks on the latter are widened, which is being done as rapidly as possible. The new depot at Chesnut Hill will front on the Bethlehem Turnpikeat the terminus of tho railroad. It will be built of stone, and its size on plan will be 43 by 70 feet. Besides the offices and baggage-room, It will have a hall sixteen feet wide, a ladics'-room 25 by 19 feet, and a general meeting-room 25 by 25 feet. Two broad platforms will be attached to this depot, and run 280 feet along the track, with a roof cover ing both platform and track, to enable passen gers to get on and off trains under cover. The new depot at Germantown will front on Chelten avenue, and will be similar in all respects to the depot at Chesnut Hill, and the trains between Philadelphia and Chesnut Hill, instead of back ing up to the old Germantown depot as at pre sent, will, after the construction of the new depot, run through it, thus avoiding the deten tions, etc. REARRESTED. A New Development of the Shooting Af frny In the Sixteenth Ward The Wounded Man Will Probably Die. Thomas Wilson, who is charged with shoot ing Washington Smith, at the office of Alder man Shoemaker, some time ago, was rearrested yesterday. It will be recollected that the de fendant was arraigned for a hearing before the above-named magistrate on the 23d instant, and was admitted to bail in $3000, on the certificate of Drs. George P. Oliver and . B. Shapleiga that Smith was out of danger. Smith, for a number of days after tho shooting, was in an exceedingly precarious condition, but at the time stated his improvement became so marked that Dr. Oliver considered himself justified in giving the certificate. Yesterday, however, Dr. Oliver appeared before Mayor Fox, and made an affidavit to the effect that the condition of Smith is not quite as favorable as on the 23d, and that the wounded man was in such a condi tion that death might ensue at any moment. In accordance with this statement, Jus tice Kerr, the Bitting magistrate at (ha Pautral Rtatlnn. wa dti-Miffl tn laaua a otaw- rant for the arrest of ilson, which was accord ingly done. The defendant was taken in custody and incarcerated in the Central Station. A hearing of the case was fixed for this morning at '. o'clock, at which hour Alderman Kerr was in waiting to call up the case. A letter from Dr. Oliver was received, however, stating that ho could not be present at the hearing, as he was unavoidably detained with a sick patient. The case was then postponed until the Lour of the regular hearing this afternoon. Sale of Mr. Mohan's Paintings. Mr. Ed ward Moran's collection of paintings, which have been on exhibition for some weeks past under the general title of "Land and Sea," were sold last evening by Mr. B. Scott, Jr., at the new art gallery of Henry W. & B. Scott, Jr., No. 1129 Chesnut street. The attendance was very large and the bidding spirited. The following are the prices realized for some of the principal works: No. 8, "Evening at Cape Ann," 243; No. 13, "Life boat Going out to Wreck," $300; No. 17, "Squally Day at Newport," 325; No. 24, "Beaeh at At lantic City,' 1150; No. 25, "Moon Rise at Na bant," 2i0; No. 29, "Virginia Sands," $270; No. 22.

Mr. Pool addressed the Senate In a lengthy expo sition of the cause, etl'ect, and remedy for outrages In the South. He and his ancestors were natives of North t arollna. and he claimed that the people of that state, as shown by the testimony before the In vestigating committee, had no complicity In these outrages, hut that they were perpetrated by secret organizations. The popular voice of that .State con demned them, and he (Tool) was Influenced by a desire to Insure peace and tranquillity among those whom he represented. One instance had been shown In the investigation in which a band of negroes, disguised In mimicry of Ka-klnx, with shirts over their heads, were promptly punished for having committed depredations upon other negroes. Their prompt punishment was due to the fact that unlike the real Ku-klux, they bad no organization at their backs to protect them. A Tier commenting npon the extensive ramifications and Iniluence of these secret organizations, whose power was great enough to protect their members when brought to trial in the btate courts, and whose avowed purpose was to overthrow- the 14th amendment and the reconstruction measures. lie sale that if the Government designed to pro tect loyal citizens and execute its policy, some posi tive and determined demonstration on its part wai necessary, else It should surrender everything to the control ef the desperadoes. His opinion was that some mild but firm measures should be adopted, with the plain understanding that, If these falld, martial law would be resorted to, and the former Insurrectionary States remanded to a territorial con dition. A fear of martial law would prove a whole some check npon Ku-klux. . At one o'clock an adjournment over from to-day till Monday was ordered yeas 25, nays 14. Mr. Pool then resumed, with an intimation that his spcecn would occupy the remainder of the day. IIOIIMP. On motion of Mr. Dawes a resolution was adopted iliiectlng the secretary of the Treasury to furnish an estimate of the number of pounds of paper that will be required to replace the present bank circulation, and the cost per pound of the distinctive paper now need for the legal tender notes, fractional notes, and bonds prior to 1SI0, the amount paid per pound for paper now used, etc. Mr. Wheeler lutroduced a bill authorizing the Sec retary of the Treasury to change the name of the ship William F. Btorer to that of Hamilton Fish. I n reply to a question he said this was merely a compli ment to Secretary Fish. The bill was passed. Mr. Shellabarger proposed that by unanimous consent the House take a recess from 4MtoTj o'clock, this evening for debate merely, lie made this suggestion because so many gentlemen dosire to address the House on the bill to enforce the four teenth amendment to the Constitution. After a general conversation this was agrecl to, and, further, that to-morrow shall be devoted to de bate only. The House then resumed the consideration of the bill. Mr. V.mKwov,h, f Illinois, aaid ha .114 not know that he had auy objection to the first section, but was opposed to the second and third sections, and gave the grounds of his dissent, particularly to that part which says that If the constituted authorities of a State shall either be unable to or shall fall In or refuse protection to the people In their rights, and shall fall or neglect, through the proper authorities, to apply to the President for aid in that beha'.r, such facts shall be deemed a denial of the equal protection of the law, and in all such cases It shall be lawful for the President to inter vene for the suppression of such insurrection. He discussed this question In connection with the Con stitution and the fourteenth amendment, and the debates which took place on tho latter subject, to show that it did not confer the right to legislate for the States as to persons. They did many things dnring the war which they were obliged to do, and afterwards, because of the bad influence of Andrew Johnson's administration things which would not be justifiable la times or peace. They too bad passed laws which they did not dare to bring before the Supreme Court. He would again go to the very verge of the Constitution to save the nation's life, but this was not the time. In conclusion, he said he did not believe la central ism and the abolition of State lines. Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, referred to an opinion of Chief Justice Marshall, who referring to our dual system of government, regarded the State and Na tional Oovernmenls as but one whole. The States exercised their power nnder the Constitution la obedience to the Constitution and subject to the limitations of the Constitution, not for the purpose of destroying but enforcing that instrument, it was too late now to doubt whether Uougrcss could by Constitutional enactment enforce the rights of the people of this nation against combinations in the states. This right was asserted under the administration of Washington, and met his approval. In connec tion with his argument he referred to the act of liiS, authorizing the President to call out the militia, etc., to suppress insurrection and unlawful combinations, etc. These have been provisions of law ever since the foundation of the Government. There might be provisions In this bill not neces sary ; If so, he would seek the privilege of amending It. As to the general power of Congress to legislate in behalf of all the adlrmative provisions aud all the express negative provisions of the Constitution he had no dotiot, for the reason that It Is a closed ques tion. He quoted judicial decisions arguing the full fiower to protect citizens of the lulled States n all their rights, privileges, aud Immu nities, and also quoted from Daniel Webster as to the exercise of the national authority. New limitations of power had been placed on the States by the late amendments to the Constitution. The first eight articles of the old amendments bound the nation, but by the new they bind the (states. In conclusion be made an earnest appeal In behalf of Justice, w hicn was applauded.

ArrniiK'rmeut to Load the Storcvlilp. All morning the Committee on Purchases for the French and German sufferers were lndus- trloubly at work buying up stores. Ibe vessel, though not great in proportions, is quite formi dable in look: for from each side the muzzles of a row of cannon peek wickedly. The Relief is a fourth-rate sailing vessel, of five hundred tons burthen, and years ago accompanied a United States squadron on an exploring expe dition to Japan. This morning her commander, Captain George II. Perkins, paid his respects to Mayor Fox, having been ordered by the au thorities at Washington to report to the French and German Relief Committee In this city, lie stated that on Monday morning next tho crew of the vessel would commence to take on stores. Relative to these Commodore Emmons, com mandant at the navy yard, wrote to his Honor. ' If there are any heavy provisions or stores, it is desirable that they be first sent and stowed, and that all freight should be distinctly marked aud contents noted, so that an appropriate dis position uay be made in stowage." Those who wish to contribute money can lu cloee it to A. J. Drexel, Esq ; while provisions should be properly packed, marked '-ijift from the City of Philadelphia," and despatched to C. J. Hot! man, No. iHH N. Delaware avenue.

Each of these barrels will be thus labelled: "Contribution des dames du Bazar FrancaU de Philadelphia. Etats-Unis, aux malheureux en France." The Purchase Committee of the General Relief Committee this morning bought 1500 barrels of llonr, and these, in common with all other packages that are to be Bent to the sufferers tn France, excepting the above-mentioned 130Q barrels, will be inscribed: "Contribution de la vllle de rhlladclphie, Etate-l'nls, aux malheureux en France." A portion of the funds donated are to be dis tributed in the new German provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, and agents to dispose of them have been appointed. The moneys sent over will be deposited with Drexel, Harjes V: Co. at Paris. FINANCE AND COMMERCE. Kvf.nino TUt.Homrn Orrift, ' Friday, March 31. 1871. The demand for money this morning is mode rate, except for speculative purposes, which con tinues quite lively. With a let up in tbo regular business demand there is a slight tendency to further ease. It now appears almost certain that the stringency which has been feared with the opening of April will be avoided, and that money will be abundant to meet all the require ments of business without any material advance in rates.
