THE "XECKS

I,ocnltty-)i-2l.000 Nrded to Alake Jt the
inrden-(pot of the City.
The bill now before Councils making tho an
nual appropriations for the Highway Depart
ment contains an item of $20,000 to bo devoted
to the draining of the marshes in the First and
Twcntv-sixth wards ot the city, otherwise
known as the "Neck." This item was inserted
In resDonse to a netltion from the owners of tho
meadow land in tho ''Neck," upon which Chief
Engineer Strickland Kneass made tho report to
the Finance Committee of Councils which is
given below. It is of interest, as setting forth
in detail the topography of a section of the city
of which a great deal is heard, while but little is
known by the great mass 01 tne people concern
inc its Drescnt condition and future prospects,
Mr. Kneass' report, addressed to the Finance
Committee, and which has just been printed by
order of Councils, reads as follows:
"llavlug examined the subject of complaint, as
S resented by the owners of meadow land in 'The
leek,' and referred to me by your committee, I beg
leave to say that the entire area southward of the
llovaniensing. Rone Ferry, and Point Breeze roads.
exceDtins a broiecting point opposite Beggarstown
lane, and extending to ttia rivers Dela
ware and Schuylkill on either side, is
about four feet below high water, and is
protected from submergence by a guard
bank extending the entire shore line on the Schuyl
kill from Point Breeze to its mouth, and on the back
channel (at League Island) and the Delaware to near
the Navy xaro.
"This area Is traversed by several streams, such
sh Hay creek. Molly Bore, and Chickhanslng creeks.
all of which empty into Hollanders creek the latter
being uutte a large channel (lu 1710 large enough for
snips or mat aate to winter in;, connecting iae uacK
channel at League Island with the Delaware
north of the Point House, thus forming
tireenwlch Island. Hay creek lies near the south
ern termination of Sixth street; Molly Bore, at or
about ndeveath street; and the Chickhanslng, the
largest of the three, having its head-waters cut off
by Die Reed street sewer, now begins near tho
Parade ground, and crossing Broad street near
Moore street and the Passyunk road near Twentieth
street, continues southward parallel with, and a
shot t distance eastward of, the Rope Ferry road.
until it is lost as an open channel in the extensive
marsh lying below the Moyamensing road westward
and alongside of Broad street. The Molly Bore Is
also lost in this marsh ; but Hay creek has formed
another eastward of Broad street. Prior to the Oiling
npot the back channel 1b early days a ship thoroHgh-
lare, ana, consequently, ine cnannei or uoiianuers
;reek these creeks delivered freely into the river;
but the obstruction thus formed has caused the
impassable marshes, where, within the memory of
muiuie-agea men, were remuuorauve pasturages.
The owners of this ground being taxed for city pur-
Soses equally with more favored localities, and
aviug also the care of the guard banks, for which
a tax is also collected, now ask that this
Imperfection of the drainage, caused, it is
thought, directly by the improvements upon
the Delaware front, and necessary for the Interests
of the c.ty at large, shall in some way be provided
for, so that, if possible, their land may be restored
to them, and thus; while they shall have justice.
meted out to thein, the city at large shall also be
greatly benetittcd.
"I believe this relief as asked for can be attained
toy obliterating the oid creeks and excavating a new
channel into the Delaware, aud guarding it at IU
connection with the river by a large sluice
gate. Although a definite location cannot be
lixed without special survey, yet I would
bay that the general Hues of these creeks may be
followed by a ditch or ditohea having a length of
about five miles, the Idea being to occupy, bo far as
practicable, the lines of the wide avenues that are
irojuctod over that area and as improvements ad
vance to cover it In with arches, or as may at that
time lie most advisable. This ditch I would suggest
with a width of twenty or twenty-five feet at low
water line thus making an excavation on the
iui ado" ii f ubout four feet, the material to be
used fm the banks on each side, of height corres
ponding with the river bank. The sluice at the
river would prevent the iunux beyond say halt tide.
by which arrangement, with tho height of bank as
originated, there would be storage room to provide
for a twelve hours' rain of one inch pur hour over
the entire area drained. Tho cost of this work, I
believe, would be between twenty and twenty-live
thousand dollars. Sosoon as the Federal Govern
ment commence their operations at League Island
tor tne formation or their projected basin on
the back channel, the prenant outlet of Ho
lander's creek will be cut orr. and as the northern
cutlet, owing to the extensive accretions on the dts
below the Navy Yard, is practically closed, it will
iM-uuiiiB an iiiijiumuvo imuier to supply another,
vuiurniBe mo nou cimin ui oecorne stiomergea,
and will not only entail serious loss mum trot Unri
owners, but be a cause of complaint from the Gov
ernment as injurious u ins naval station.
'The result of constructing this new channel, with
its many minor branches, would be to convert this
now comparatively useless area into a garden snot
lor the supply of vegetables aud even fruit for city
consumption, and owing to Its rich alluvial soil ren-
er unnecessary mat prodigal use or excrements
and city refuse as fertilizers, to the serious Iniurr i,
the quality of vegetables produced, aud possibly the
Jiealth of the consumers. The reclamation of low
tround in manner similar to that here proposed la
tow being carried out In different sections of our
country by private enterprise, and so far with marked
remunerative resulM.",
COLLISION AT SEA.
The Philadelphia Htrnmrr Brunette Itait l)irn
by the Hteaner Hanllafto de Cohn-Two Uvea
1OSt.
On Tuesday afternoon, at 0 o'clock, tho
steamer Brunette, Captain Ioane, left the Lo
rillard Steamship Dock, New York, for this city.
She was laden with an assorted cargo, and about
three-quarters full. Including officers, thero
were thirteen souls on board. Nothing of inte
rest occurred until about twenty minutes past
10, when a steamer was noticed bearing down
for the Brunette. Sho proved to be the Santiago
de Cuba, Captain Jones, bound from Havre,
France, to New York, going at the rate of
about six knots an Lour, and having on board
a cargo not exceeding COO tons. The statements
respecting the immediate cause of the collision,
which took place about W4 o'clock, are con
flicting, but it seems the Brunette attempted to
cross the bows of the Santiago do Cuba, and,
failing to do so in time, the two vessels collided,
end the former sunk la less than ten minutes.
Tim difwRter occurred off Snuam Beach, but a
little dlKtance off shore. The Santiago de Cuba
tad crossed the Atlantic Ocean by the southern
route and fell in witu tne lana to me southward,
working her way up along tho beach, while tho
Brunette was taking the inshore routo golug
down.
Every effort was mado on board of both ves
sels to avoid the disaster by reversing tho en
gines, but the order was given too late, and the
Santiago de Cuba struck tho Brunette a torrlflc
blow in the port broadside, completely crushing
her in and Keeling Her over to starboard, ctotit
as tbo Santiago do Cuba is, she trembled from
stem to stern with the concussion, while the
Brunctto splintered with the thrust like match
sticks. within a minute four of tho Bru
nctte's pcoplo clambered over tho bows of
the Cuba, aud were safe. In another minute
both crews busied themselves in lowering
each a boat. Seven of the crew of the
Brunette entered their boat, and with the boat
of the Santiago do Cuba tucy went in searcn ot
any who might be In the water, as all hands left
la sucn a nurry mat it was not Known at ine
time who really wero missing. Scarce had tho
boats been launched when tho Brunette went
down. Nearly an hour was spent in pulling
around listening for distress hailings, but at the
end of that time the boats wero hoisted on board
of the Santiago de Cuba, and she headed for
New York. On mustering the crew of tho
Brunette, it was found that Georgo A. Coleman
and James McCarthy, one a seaman and the
other a fireman, had perished.
The Brunette was a screw propeller 01 274
tons, built at Wilmington, Delaware, in 1807,
wus owned by Jacob Lorillard, Jr., and was
employed in the trade between New York and
this city, sue is sain to nave oeen insured.

On motion of Mr. Morrill, tne joint resolution
authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to transfer to
the use of the Bureaus of Construction and Repairs
and Steam Kngineering such appropriations to the
credit of other bureaus in that department as m ly
be reouirec.
Mr. Sherman said at the last session Congress ap
propriated all the money deemed necessary for the
IS aval uureau oi construction auti iiepuirs, dug ine
Navy Department went on to contract an expenui,
tore since the amount appropriated.
The exteut to wnicn tne departments nau gone in
making transfers of money without previous spe
cific legislation by Congress was shown by the fact
that upon the books of the 'J reasnry it appeared
that upon July l, im, tnere was j i4jtuuu,uuu amon
the departments sun appropriated anu unexpended,
Department. He proposed that Congress should not
only put an end to tins practice oi tae ucpartmuuis
in trauHieiriug appropriations irom one source to
another, but should provide for carrying all the un
expended balances at the end of each
fiscal year to a surplus fund. fora which
appropriations would be made by special legislation.
He favored the present bill, as It would enable the
Government to proceed wltn tho work now tncom-
filete in the various navy yards, and which, if left iu
ts present condition, would be liable to Injury from
neglect and decay, and innictaiuss upuu his uu?,
einment.
Mr Morrill, of Maine, explained that the bill did
not nronose the expenditure of a single dollar.
simply proposing tho distribution of money already
appropriated to the Navy Department. The ques
tion was (Imply as to the method of making the
appropriations.
Mr. Crag In said the Secretary of the Navy hal
early in the se'Bion called the attention of the Naval
Committee of the Senate and Uouse to the matter,
in order to prevent the discbarge of workmen iu
Naw Yurdn. em moved under tbe Bureau of Con-.
struction and R pairs. The present object was to
authoil9 a speclna transfer, so that the present
force of workmen, now reduead to one half of its
former size, might oe continued. ,
Mr. Trim. bull said that the bill was a direct appro
priation of money from tho Treasury, amounting to
f4,(ioo.uofl, because, although the warrants to be
transferred had been authorized by congress, the
money uas not oeen actnsiiy taken.
jr. Aiornu vl oneren an amendment 10 me
Kavul Tiausler Appropriation bill, that no higher
rate of wages than is paid for like services by private

the report, and by Messrs. Swann, Wilkinson, and
Wood, also members of the committee, and Mr. Cox
In snpport of it. The morning hour having expired,
at half-past 1, without any action being taken on
the report,
Mr. Butler (Muss.) Chairman of the Reconstruction
Committee, reported a bill to admit the State of
Mississippi to representation tn the Congress of the
muea mates, auu asked to nave it put onitspas-
.ure.
Tbe bill having been read. Mr. Butler said that tha
bill was exactly word for word of the bill on which,
and under which, the ft ate of Virginia had been ad
mitted to representation, althongh In some respects
the members of the Committee on Reconstruction,
and himself among the number, would have been
f:inu to nave ennnpeu it, yet tne wnoie matter nav
ng been so fully and thoroughly discussed, and a
precedent set in the cose of Virginia, it was thought,
after mature deliberation In the committee, that It
was best to admit Mississippi under the same condi
tions and with the some provisions as Virginia.
'ine oniycnange in tne bin was providing for an
affirmation as well as an oath. The matter having;
been fully discussed, and everybody's mind made up
on It, he would move the previous question, first
allowing his colleague on the committee to offer a
substitute.
Mr. Beck thereupon offered his substitute, declar
ing Mississippi entitled to representation without
preamble or condition.
Mr. Brooks (N. Y.). another member of the com
mittee, said that although on his side of the Honse
tney acquiesced in in is measure, they did not wil
lingly acquiesce. This case, in their Judgment, dif
fered essentially from that of Virginia, in that the
General of the United States Army in command of
Mississippi had so used the military forces In that
State as to elect himself to the United States Senate
by the use of the army.
1 ne vote was ttieu tasen on Mr. Heck's substitute,
and it was rejected yeas, 85; Days, 98.
Among tne itepubiicans voting ror the substitute-
