the authority ofathe United States
and of the State IS openly defed.
General Candy Sppen8s a letter ad-
the Constitutional Conyeutioh, la
which he. says Che Convention has
passed a resolution for a division Of
the State. which is only a question Of
time. Opposition comes from inter-
ested persons at Austin and late rebel
pewspapersss%Th division, however,

He concluded as follows: We earn
estly believe, the measure will finally
disperse and demoraiize the disloyal
element, and give us the separation
of the State, which viii bring Us the
rest, peace and prosperity which we
have for so many years been striving

WAsHINGToS, February 23.-In
the discussion in the House last
night on Indian Affairs. Logan de-
sired to know whether the Committee
on Appropriations desired the House
to vote for the Senateamendmeits.
Butler Tepliedsthat the committee
recommended pon-eeneurrence, so as
TO leave Ihe question entirely with.
the House. i5aaaa 5-l~ss. 81
Scofeld, as a member of the Com
mittee on appropriations, said he
understood every member to be de-
.eidedly hostile to the Senate amend
ments, considering that they involved
the deepest villainy.
Logan said he had desired to get
out that statement concerning the
amendments; therefore they should
De non concurred in, and sent to a
committee of conference.
Burleieh, of Dakota, advocated
concurrence IN the Senate amend
ments, aud omplimented the Indian
Peace Commission.
Windom advocated concurrence in
the Senate amendments, and referring
to the statement made by Schofeld,
asked the House to remember of
whom the Indian Peace Commission
was composed. Generals Sherman.
Harney and Augur, were members OF
it; and were they, he asked, men who
could be mixed up with inlamy? He
declared that a more honest, more
honorable, and more intelligent Com

Garfield opposed the amendments,
aud called attention TO the fact that
the bill, as amended, provided appro-
priatioBs to an amount three timas as
great as the Secretary Of the Interior
had estimated as requisite for all To
dian, purposes. He condemned the
policy of making treaties with war
riors who fight us in Sammer, and
wish us to feed them in Winter. He
would never vote dollar to be ex-
pended Shrough the filthy channels Of
the. Indian Bureau.
Logan demanded an explanation Of
the appropriations for priva'e claims
contained ia the Senate amendmen,s.
He regarded the policy of Indian
treaties as preposterous aud ridicu
lous. It was mere child's play, aud
no matter what might be said Of The
high character OF the men who had
made those new tEeates, he would
say that they made most ridiculous
treaties and m0st unworthy of states
men.
The discussion ended with some
humorous passages in an amiesble
vein between logan and Window,
which excited much laughter.

GENTLEMEN Since my last report the Al
exandria Canal has been in excellent condition,
and successfully managed
Daring the boating season of 1868, commen-
cling June LIST, when water was first let into the
canal, and ending December 10th 1868, when
navigation was closed by ice, the descending
trade was 10000 tons OF coal, and about 1000
tons OF lime stone, cement, ice, lumber, &c.
luc dSCcuuluS lIduc dUOut 'UO tOHs VI sat', pas
ter. guano, lumber, fish, &c &c
During the past season the lessees have
strengthened the aqueduct, with heavy arches
on each side, from pier TO pier, at q cost OF
1000, which places the structure beyond all
tear
They have also put in successful operation q
toll bridge over and upon the aqueduct, at n
cost of $25.s9l.
Their expenditures to this date, exclusive Of
toll bridge, approximate $751;, 900. with aque-
dnet, canal, locks aud gates in perfect order
from Georgetown to the river Potomac at Al
exsndria.
We have at presen. only two companies
using the canal-the American Company doing
business OF 80 tons per day, and the Baltl-
more and Hampshire Company about 300 tons
per day.
The Lessees as an inducement to other com
panies to use the Alexandria Canal as their
shipping point, and thereby increase the reve
nue. OF the Alexandra Canal, have reduced the
tolls from cents to 6 cents per ton on coal, to
take effect May lst, 1869.
All Of which is most respectfully submitted.
