Information has teen received here to
the effect that enormous frauds have
been =earthed at Cincinnati, principally
among manufacturers. For example,
one firm of high standing is shown to
have realized nearly a million dollars
profits on fast year's buzlneaa, of which
no return wasmade and upon which no
tax Ins been paid. Other [rands of, •
like character are hinted at. 'Recent
investigations and compariots of the
tax list, with other =Mattes, show that
little more than one half of the malt li

the past year have paid tax, and It is
believed that a like inveaUgation in

Mr. POMEROY, from the Committee

ment, the bill erecting a land die
triet in Wyoming.
Mr. SUMNER. from the Cemmittee on
the District of Columbia, reported, with
intendment, the bill to incorporate the

Sedation.

Mr. HOWARD introduced a Joint reso
lution relative to furnishing safes to OM
lectors of Internal Revenue. Referred.
Mr. POMEROY offered a resoluttbn,
which was adopted, directing the Post
master General to furnish copies of the
communications with the.Freneb Gov
ernment relative to securing modifica
tions of the pcetal arrangemets.
On motion of Mr. SUMNER, the Sen
ate took up the bill relative to tele
graphic communication between the
United States and foreign countries. Mr.
Sumner said, since the bill bad been re
ported in February last, a cable had been
landed on our shore from France, and
this rendered a modification of the bill
necessary. He proposed an amendment
to make the language of the bill applies
blenot only to future but ealepog cable&
Mr. THURMAN suggested a legal
question had been broached. as to the
right of a State to permit the landing of
a cabin without permission of the general
Government. He therefore moved to
refer It to the Committee on Judiciary.
Mr. SUMNER said the question refer
red to by the Senator from Ohlo, that of
States rights, was an old customer in the
Senate, but the authority of the General
Government ICI thin matter was ample
in the constitutional direction to Con
grdes
to regulate commerce with foreign
Mdions.
Mr. CONKLIN wed the amendment
wail retroactive by a provision 'making
the bUI universal In lie character, and
thereby thine new condition ware be
posed in discriminately noon cables
already authorized by Owigrems.
Mr. SUMNER. said the provision had
been made to protect special prlveleges
guaranteed nuclei acta of Congress to
certain cablee, and that the opinion of
the Jridiciary Commlttephad been given
that Conineea might, with prosperity,
pan a code of restrictions which would
be applicable generally to all cables
between the United States and foreign
countries.
Mr. THETRMAbi, referring to a remark
by Mr. Sumner, that his own remarks
were for the purpose of reviving the
theory of States tights, did not tits.
demisted the limit which that Senator
would impose on others. In considering
legal questions in the Senate, that Nana
tor Bombed to wee in his own auggeetions
the apparition of States rights, which.
apparently, always excited in his mind
aomething of alarm. So earnestly had
the Senator from Massachusetts been
engaged in putting down eomw of the
erroneous doctrines of States rights, that
WS habit of mmd made it imposaable for
him to believe that a State bad any rights
et all. ' Upon any theory of the constitu
tion States had some rights, and the
speaker believed they could still be re.
flirted to I. the Senate. He bad not
denied the exercise of the National au
charity ander the pending bill, but had
simply asked it should receive the con.
elderstion which it deserved. He insist
ed upon hie constettalonal privilege te
sty this much, with Out improper
den of bis toottrei.
The morning bop; having expired the
Senate took up the bill to perfect the re
construction of Georgia.
Mr. SAULSBURY - delivered an argu
ment to Illtudration of the inconsistency
of Congressional legislation relative to
unrecionstrucisd States, which he
claimed was prompted from partisan
motives, and is violatMn of the Constim
lion.
The lellowing additional bills were in

Mr. TBURMAN reiterated his se.

replied at length to hie colleague.
Mr. WILLIAMS submitted an amend,

modification of his ewn, viz: That :the
legislature shall ratify the rifteenth
amendment proposed to the Constitution
of the United States before the Senators
and Representative@ from Georgia are
admitted to seats in ft:lngram.
Mr. CARPENTER mild heagreed with
Mr. Morton on the merits of the propos:
ed amendment, and that all the mem
ber. of the Judiciary Committee agreed
in desiring the ratification of the M.
teenth Amendment by Georgia. But the
question remained, whether it was poli
cy for the Senate to embody that enact

provieton Congress might evade a ques

the opponents of reconstruction.
After farther disothadon the Senate I

the Georgia ball was resumed.
Mr. DAVIS argued that only by sue

the So..thern States with the Union be
permanently sundered.
The discuadon which followed mom

was protracted until a Late hour.
Mr. CASSE.H.L'i maid that four years
of government by the bayonent in the
South bad demonstrated the futility of
the reconstruction policy of Qmgress,
and that violence and diaorder were its
legitimate result.
Al er further remarks by Messrs.

THE WATER QUESTION
A View of the staniect not Heretofore
Discosord—socrestlonn W orthy of Con
sideration.
Z rrm Much has recently
been said to our City Councils and
through the preen, con.rnlng the pur-
chase of property for the erection of new
water works. Quite a number of altos
have been suggested, and I incline
to the opinion that the place rococo
mended by the Water Committee, which
weed Select Council. and Is now under
consideration In the Common branch,
appears to have more advantages than
others named. Still, there are some
people who have failed to be convinced
that there Is really a necessity for new ,
WILLS.' works at that or any other point
at this time, but believe that our present
worka, by the expenditure of a oompara
ttvely small sum of money, - tuay be made
to answer abundantly all purposes for
years to COMO!
The Water Committee, sod come other
gentlemen In Councils, apparently have
-mew water wore• on the brain. The
fact that there la now In eslatei3oe an
•expenalve Institution of that character
which might require some attention
Is almost entirely ignored. To be sore,
there have been complaints made con
cerning the quantity and quality of the
water; but when investigated by a
Special fkimmlttee of Councils last
Sqrnmer the fault was found to be an
laufficient supply In the bash= and
their filthy concltlon; (they had not
been cleaned for about a year, and were
not half full of water.) jay Onnwdlion
moiled the facts and ren=inended an
ordinance providing for keeping the
basins In better order. out the rep lit
was referred to the Water Committee,
and thatwan the end of It. Now I aut.
mit, would larger water works, In the'
condition described, have remedied this
matter ?
So fern. 'apply I. conoerned,ittere are
some peopid who assert that If the prtw.
ent reservoini are kept well filled with
water tare *lll be uo &mucky of that
article anywhere In the consolidated city.
If there is not enough motive power for
the purpose, why not procure another en
gine or two: it can be done at decidedly
Ina wet than the purchase of the pro.
posed site will eventually amount to, for
that Involves the expenditure of three or
four million, of dollars. The present
position is certainly ■ufliciently elevated.
A responsible member of Councils, In
presenting a petition for en exteneton of
water facilities in the country districts,
.snarled that the presume of the water
was almost sufficient to burst the pipes;
and surely such force would be enough
to supply the entire city if the requisite
quantity of water was kept In the basins.
As to the quality ot the water, going
up the Allegheny river a few miles can
not vosaibly much better It, for there is
nil floating on the Luta°e all the way to
Oil City. Besides, there has been no
complaint on that score, while other
matters were In proper condition.
These statement. are respectfully slab-
mitted to the consideration of Councli.
mess, and others interested. F.

soon, it is claimed, to rival any oil terri
tory in the United Stan's. It has been
only within the lan year or two that any
progress has been made toward Its de

and energy have turned their attention
to the locality and find that It offers so-
parlor inducements to oil borers."
There are one hundred and fifty wells
producing and being sunk, and proepects
bid fair for as many more going down
this winter and next spring. They are
yielding from five tonsil, barrels a day.

a depth varying from two hundred and
fifty to nice hundred feet. Very fre
quently oil is obtained in what is called

last few weeks. several very fine wells
struck in this territory. Among them
is the Home Company well, which is
flowing about twenty barren per day.
The 01l is !breed five miles to the Ohio
