MEM
Ur. FERRY presented a petition
and
made remade relative to the Illegal Im
prisonment hy the Dominican Govern
ment of Dennis S. Hatch, merchant of
San Domingo and an American citizen.
He had been brought beforetbe military
tribunalon a frivolous charge and nen.
eneed to be nbot. He was pardoned by
the Dominican Senate on
. the condition
of leaving the Island, but was prevented
from so doing by the Government and
returned to orison. Our Consurs efforts
to release him were fruitless.
Mr. FERRY moved a reference to the
Committee on Foreign Relations, with
the message from the President on the
subject, la the hope of speedy action.
Mr. SUMNER laguired whether the
Senator had any suggestion to make to
the Committee..
Mr. PERRY replied he
would suggest
to the President of the 'United States to
demand peremptorily the release of
Elatch,•And If the demand was -not com
plied with to-enforce It by our naval force
in the neighborhood of San Domingo.
Mr. SUMNER thought It would be
preferable to l recommend judicial pro
ceedings by the Dominican Government
as to the oaulas.of detention.
Mr. FERRY expressed the belief that'
the real cause of the imprisonment of the
person referred to was that he possessed
certain knowledge concerning the effort
to swindle the United States Government
out of a.large sum of money In the our
chase of the Island. Our Consular agent
having been expressly promised that
Hatch should be seemed, and the prom
ise having been flagrantly disregarded,
he thought it better for the American
Government to employ a more forcible
argument than words.
The subject was then referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations.
Mr. WILLIAMS, from the Committee
on Finance, reported the House joint res
olution extending the time for the with
drawal of Spirits from the bonded ware
houses, with recommendation that It do
not paw.
Mr BAYARD, on behalf the minority
of the Committee, expreased the hope
that the recommendation of the majority
Would not be the aortae of the Senate.
Mr. TRUMBULL, from the Judiciary
Committee, reported the House bill to
admit Georgia to representation 'in Con
gress. He said the Committee had In.
'trusted him to report Whack with the
etatetnent that the conditions annexed to
the bill, except the first, were the same
annexed to the bills recognizing Virginia
- and bilssitleippl as entitled to represen
tation, and which the Renate had twice
adopted, the Committee believing it un
necessary to Insist upon their own views
In reference to these conditions. The
first proviso was in accordance with the
recent report of the Committee relative
tiro election of State °Mears.
Mr. THAYER Inquired if there was •
minority report.
Mr. TRUSiBULL replied negatively.
Mr. STEWARD wished to have it un
afraid that several roemoera of, the Com
mittee did dissent, and the fact would be
known at the proper time.
Bubsequentry Mr. TRUMBULL made
an ineffectual effort to take up the
Ueorgia bill, so as to dispose of It at
ones.
117* BEIEHMAN objected, as the de
bate wor.id hare the effect of delaying
tho regular order,the funding' hill'
Mr. MORRL(Maine) called up the
House hill to supply danciencies in ap
preprlationa for contingent expenses of
the House of Representatives. Passed.
Mr. POMEROY introduced a joint res.
elution declaring that the conduct of the
Spanish Insurgents and of persons sus
pected - of sympathy with. Insurgents, in
mutilating the dead and disregard of
age, sex and condition, Is cruel, inhu
man and barbarous and mamma the rep.
robation of the christian world.
Mr.- SUMNER suggeated - that If the
Senator from Kansas purposed adducing
evidence In support of the resolution, it
ould be well to bring forward the evi
dent,' of the other side. He was In
formed that several hundred Spaniards
had been abut by the Insurgents, he un
deratood by order of General Quesada.
Mr. pomEnoir replied, evidence'
would be presentedaoing Justice to both
des,
and on his motion the joint resolu
tion 7 11 d laid on table and ordered
pal Med.
KELLOGG t otroduced bill Wald the
conatruction of a tale.. - "' sd sod telegraph
Una from Marshal Texas, San
California, with branches and --- ,
dondons.
mlt grants twenty sections , of 1a.. ."
per mile on each side of the road. Re
ferred to Committee on Pan de railroads.
The Funding bill was then resumed,
and the motion of Mr. Davis to recommit
the bill with instrnadoris was defeated
without division.
The question recurring on the amend.
meet or Mr. Corbett, to strike ;out the
provision for foreign agencies, the debate
wax continued upon the general sub.
loot.
Mr. SCOTT advocated the prolkaltiona
ipos I
of which he bad given notice: drat, new
bonds should be negotlated by the Beers.
Lary of the Treasury, and beamd, that
the negotiation be open to the inspection
of the public.
Mr. MORRILL, Vt.,. said not the.
slightest evidence was shown in the dis
cussion that a lees rate of Interest than
five per cent. would be attained. In re
gard to the one per cent. commission, he
said the expenses attending the loan In.
eluded not merely the agencies of bank.
era, but the coat of printing, engraiing
and expressage. "'Whether one per cent.
or one-half per cent. was allowed, be was
entirely. confident no more would be
need than was Indispensably necessary.
Upon the proposition for a substitution
of bonds by banks he thought It neither
fair tor honest to compel banks to accept
of security that would be less valuable
than that the Government now held for
the redemption of their bills. If banks
were not taxed enough, they ought to be
taxed more, but their securities should
be left whole, so that no one who has
made investment In a banking institu.
tion may have cause to complain of Con
glees.
- Mr. POMEROY suggested an amend.
ment be proposed to offer and the rea
sons therefor. • .
Mr. FOWLER read an argument on
finances, after which the amendment by
Mr. Morrill, Vt., to the first section , to
insert the words snot exceeding," to
order that the rate of interest may be
less but ,ot exceed five per sent., was
adopted.
Mr. MORRILL, Vt., then moved to
amend the second section so'as to make
the rate of Interest •on 5100,000.000 of
bonds therein provided for not exceeding
5 Indeed of 434 per cent.
Mr. WILLIAMS opposed the amend
ment, believing to say the rate shall - not
exceed 6 per cent. was equivalent to
saying that should be the entire rate.
Ho was in favor of giving the Secretary
of Ire Treasury all Power, believing such
a COMM would enable the Government
to borrow at 414 per cent. -
Mr. SPRAGUE. thought the policy of
fixing an arbitrary rate of Interest for a
number of years. was a bad one, as It
might be possible in the meantime to
fund the debt at a lower rate.
The amendment of hiornil was
lord—yeas S, nays 40.
Yeas—Messrs. Bayard, Brownlow,
Buckingham, Cs. aserly, Ferry, Johnson,
Morrill, Vt., and Stockton.
The question was then stated to be
span Mr. Corbett's amendment to strike
out the 6th sectien, which provides for
the payment of Coupons at European
agencies:
Messrs'. Corbett, Sumner, Chandler
*and Cameron favored the amendment
upon the'coneideration of national dig.
'pit,. and propriety, believing lbreign
capitalists ahnold not be appealed to and
that the loan shall be recognizedat home
and abroad BA an American loan.
At 4:30 the &hate took a recess until
evening.
Erening Session —The' bill giving tho
consent of Ccoigress to laying tube■ or
tunnels scram. the East river from
Brooklyn to New York and scram the
North river from New York to New
Jersey, and making them post roads
when constructed, wee amended and
passed.
The Funding bill. WWI then . taken up.
"Mr. SRERMA24 , with a view of meet
lag the objection to the sth section,
offered an amendment authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to make
coupons of any portion of the four per
cent. bonds, payaole. at the - office of an
authorized agent of the United States In
either the cities of London, Paris, Berlin,
Amsterdam or Frankfort.
_
Mr. CONKLING:oPpose.I the whole

sent, introduced a resolution requesting
the Secretary of the Navy to Punish the
Senate any Information he may have as
to-the sinking ofthe United States vessel
Oneida by the British steamer Bombay
In the harbor of Yokohama. Adopted.
Mr. SHERMAN'S amendment to the
Funding bill was then adopted—yeas 30,
nays 10.
Mr. MORTON. in reply to the asser
tion that It would be derogatory to our
National character to make coupons pay
able abroad, said the bill contemplated
the nesotiation of a large. part of the
bonds in foreign countries. Ity making
coupons payable abroad the saying of
•
interest would be very large.
Mr. CAMERON made some general

their franchise, to which Mr. INGEP,
SOLD replied he could have it forfl,ooo,-

Mr. COX raised the point It was not In
order to put up franbhises at auctirrn on
this floor.' He subsequently suggested
an amendment which would carry the
bill through Congress, viz: To strike

C. S. Bushnell.
The following is the substance of the
report made by Oliver Ames, President:
We have spent during the, year upon'
snow sheds and snow fences over 300,.
000. We have now over five miles of
snow • sheds and molly filly miles of
snow fences, in addition to the large
amount of snow fences put up last year.
The experiment thus far this whiter
shows our road can be run 'without
serious hindrance or obstruction' from
snow. • The snows of the present winter
have been the same as last, and we have
but in one ILMIIIIOO been obstructed over
twenty-four hours. Our Superintendent
IR confident we can keep our road as free
from snow as the. roads of New
England and New York. The' express
business over the road was fully loves.
Smitsd last summer and we have' oomo
to the conclusion it would be for the
interests of tbe road to dissolve our con.
nectlon with Wells, Fargo lc Co. and do
this business ourselves. Tho results of
the change have been to increase the
receipt' about thirty per cent. above
what we received from Wells, Fargo &
Co. For the purpose of utilising tele
graph lines we have made connection
with the A. and r. Telegraph Company,
through which we are getting a large •
portion of our telegraDhlo service free
and have the expectation of realizing a
handsome income from the 3,800,000 of
stook we receive from the A. and P. Tole
graph Company for the nee of our lines
for commercial purposes, Should this
company make a connection with the Cert.
trel eacitio Company, as they now expect,
and secure a fair Share of the Caillbrnie
business: The earnings of the rued for the
months reported since first opened
amount to =e,300,000. We anticipate the
gr ow, earnings for the ensuing year will
reach g 12,000.000, and shall not be sur
prised should they largely exceed It.
The net Income from this will pay all
the interests with a handsome dividend
upon the stock, should we not need it
for improvementeupon,the road.

The Allegheny Delegation Visit
—The Sewerage System—Notes
on City Improvements —The
Spirit - of Progress, &c., &c.
HipeCIAI Correspoudeuce Pittsburgh (Write.)
CHICAGO, March 8, 1870,
Chicago has not only been wise In
water matters, but has exercised equal
good judgment and prudence In pro
viding the city with a proper system of
sewerage. Next to water, and indeed of
paramount importance, we most regard
the subject of - drainage; and both should
So tegether. It , Is, perhaps, not saying
to much to. assert that Chicago- has in
use- the most comprehensive and corn.
plate spiteful of sewerage of any city in
the country. TO. plan secures proper
drainage, and promotes the public
health;. it la simple in all Ire de.
tails, and yet. thoreughly practical.
The general plan is established, and
on record. Home builders - are com
pelled to conform to its rennire.
manta rigidly and faithfully In all the
stipulated details. - The sewers are con-'
structed at such depths below the surface
as to afford complete drainage to vaults
and sub-cellars. The water closet system
Is enforced and all filth, as well se house
waste and Surface water is carried at once
into the sewer and run off into the river.
Great trouhle4n dralnaireisereess. butt
encountered in cleansing and keeping
open the sewers. the city being • level
plain, but that difficulty has been ob
viated by the skillful arrangement of
the water connections. That the Chicago
sewers are kept clean, freehand pure la a
noteworthy fact, and It seems all' the
more surprising since in the majority of
places they are laid to grades not exceed.
Ing two Inches to the hundred Net, and
in some ll:tetanus only thirty inches to a
mile An observable fact also is that
nearly all the main sewers, which are
built of brick, vary In diameter from one
to two feet, no larger. Think of that,
John Flinn I During • the :put year the
city laid over nine miles of sewers, four
of which were of vitrified clay pipe,
similar to that recently Introduced into
Allegheny. - Two miles wereifisid of two
foot brick work. la the email main
sewers brick is used In preference to the
pipe on account of its porosity or cap
ability of absorption. Small sew
ers have been found in a great
number of cuss on record - to• an
swer more satietactorily the per.
poses of drainage than larger ones. An
instance: In Brooklyn, N. Y., a five foot
sewer was bold by the city authorities.
The drainage was not complete. A twelve
Inch pipe was run through the sewer
and the latter abandoned by being filled
with earth, and the result was most !anti.
fying. The prominent eeginfors of the
country have in most cased abandoned
the large tunnel sewers and resorted to
small conduits with plenty of water .as
an auxiliary.
In the construction of sewers every
needful precaution la taken to prevent
'their being clinked by accumulations of
solid matter or otherwise rendered unser
viceable from the deposit of improper
material. Lateral junctions at right
angles with the main sower are not al
lowed In any cue, but to the contrary
all connections or divergences are made
by acute angles or longsweeping curves.
Where pipe is used, it i. manufactured
In accordance with this angle Idea. The
principle will coat no Intelligent person
• moment's thought to discover its great
advantage and accruing benefita. ALI
sewers have branches thrown out along
the line at intervals of twenty-live or
thirty feet, for the purpose of
affording accommodation to the homes.
Manholes occur about every two
hundred feet, in order to facilitate
the cleansing of the sewers- The method
adopted to clean the sewer is very simple
and effective. It Is called "flashing" and
- Mr. Mr. Cheaborough kindly afforded our
party an opportunity of witnessing the
operation. A huge wagon containing •

cloud, cutting o ff communication by the
lateral pipe with the main sewer, a solid
column of water wan suddenly precipi.
, tatod into the manhole, and the filth was
driven out and clear down through
the sewer to the river. The smell was
not as pleasant as the balm of • thousand
flowers, but something akin to our ex
, Mayor's chariot, which we will wager
will throw a solid stream through a four
Inch nozzle further than any other ma.
chine In the country, and retie a louder
odor—Chicago not excepted. When the
fllth is too sand to be thus "flushed" out,
jointed rods and endless chains are nand
between the manholes. These systems
do away with the necessity of puncturing
or tearing up parts of sewers to clean
them. a damaging practice so much In
vogue at home. Everything connected
with the sewers is under most perfect
control.
Chicago has practically abandoned cm
pcola and made universal the water
closet system. By a basin, stink at the
terminus of the connecting pipe, noth
-Ing-but Holds or dissolved masses can
enter the sewer from bonne. The lessee
or. residents of premises must look to
keeping these reservoirs clean. Alta

while Allegheny has already In use a
general plan of drainage, we think Pitts.
burgh should give the matter more at
tention. The bap-hazard way of doing
things In this line at home should be
remedied, and it never can be t tili a com
prehensive and complete system is
adopted. •
YORE Ott Tint WATER. •
It may be apprepoe to observe that Chi
cago has In use a newly invented fire
plug by means of. which water can be
parllally or entirely shut off without In
"'lag with the mains or Bleeping the
supplies in the square or neighborhood.
A. prominent feature of the city is the
number of drinking fountains on public
thoroughfares, where In summer and
Winter the thirsty people may be cheaply
refreshed. While in Chicago, our party
was called upon by Mr. Moses Lane. the
celebrated hydraulic engineer of New
York, He is engaged at present In plan
ning water and drainage facilities for Mil
waukee and Indianapolis. Just here it
may be wall to remark that we have tom
fortunate enough to meet with a great
number of the leading engineers of the
country, and have profited largely from
our emulation and Intercourse With
them. If the Allegheny gentlemen of
the party are not well and thoroughly
posted on the water and sewerage busi
ness, It will not be because they have
not met with those whose Ideas are the
best that can be obtained Three engi
neers assure its that there Is a marvel
ous awakening from one end of the
country, to the other, on the question
of pure water and good drainage.
CEMEII
Most persons are aware of the atiocess
of the Chicago enterprise of tunneling
the river at Waahington street, doing
away with the drawbridge. that barrier
to vowels and bore to pedestrians and
drivers. Title 'ttinnel consists of a foot
passenger avenue and two vehicle
ways. It cost needy 1J600,000. An
other tunnel under the river at La Salle
west is now being constructed.. It will
be superior to the Washington street
tunnel in many essential pardoulars, the
engineer having profited by experience
with the first. This improvement will
cost about halls million, and Will hardly
be finished Inside of the coming eigh
teen months. The South Branch at
Adams street will next be tunneled.
The out of these conveniences are col
lected by special taxation on the people.
It Is quite a sight to see a large river
dammed end an army of men working
night and day, many feet below the bed,
to finish a grand enterprise. But thls is
