WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tapping toe Water Pirxs. ponent to be no little hunnifuggling i Coun- cils over the quostion of regulating the tapping of the Government water pipes; we regret to have to say. However anxious member of both the branches may we be each reader to judge for himself how that probably is—it is very certain that there are a number of outside spéculatofs, each ing to “make his jack”’ out of the legislation o the City Councils on the subject, and each raly- ing upon the exertions of more or less of the members of the Boards to compass the success of his plans. How far their expectations of being thus favored by the latter is well-founded, is & question only to be determined in future. EVENING STAR.

The Union, in reply to the argument of the Washington correspondent of the Pennsylvania Enquirer that the transfer of the proposed Post Office certificates is prohibited by law, and consequently cannot be made available, says that the probibiti _——- only to claims | The Taw of Congress on the subject, secks to upon the States, atid not to ac- | $uard the interests-of the Government and those of the people of the District of Columbia as involved in this matter, with commendable care, and the joint resolution to carry out that law is evidently framed in the same spirit. Nevertheless, amendments are being proposed to it, which, if adopted, may defeat the object of the law of Congress in this particular con- neetion, and make the work of supplying the houses with water cost the property-holders of the District far more than that would, legiti- mately managed. The joint resolution (of the Board of Alder- men.) referred to above, is as follows : Joint Reso.vtion providing for the ta counts, and that the law has been so construed at the Treasury Department, ever since soon after its 4 The alludes to the announeement that ex-Governor Jones, of Tenn., is supporting the Opposition eandidate for Governor of that State, to show the southern Democracy to what extent sympathy with the anti- faction at the North corresponds with the same feeling for the success of the Democratic party at the South—this same ex-(lovernor having been s sympathizer with Senator Douglas, in his Iili- ‘nois campaign last fall.

The deposits of coin for the month amounted to $177,- 775. i" In New York, on Wednesday afternoon , Miss Anna Caird, a very interesting young lady, 15 years of age, left home in rather a mysterious manner, and has not since been seen. She wore a dark stripdd dress, black crape bonnet, and black delaine shawl. The parents of the missing giri are in great distress at her 24 An amenduent to it, propded in the Coun- 3 as follows : all after the words ‘‘under the.” in rst line, and insert, --direction of said issioners, subject in all cases to the legal supervision of the United States Engineer in charge of the Potomac water-works, and also to the r mts of the seventh and eighth sec- t of Congress making appropriations for sundry civilexpenses of the Govermnent, ap- proved June 12, Is38."? It will be perceived that this amendment proposes to place the control of the tapping into the hands of the Ward Commissioners, who are by no moans as competent to regulate and direct 2 matter of so great importance as the Government engineer in charge of the work ; and that in so doing it conflicts directly with the law of Congress specifically assigning to that officer this particular duty. Under such cireumstances, it is clear that the authorities of the Corporation of Washington have no law- ful right whatever to take from the United States enginecr in charge of the duties the amendment proposes to transfer to the Ward Commissioners of the Corporation of Washing- ton. pros eedende ken amen Joux Sait Harp Ur.—in Baltimore, yester- day, 2 yound man, aged about twenty-three, who gave his name as John Smith, was arrested in a state of intoxication, having in Lis possession a ~buman skull which he was endeavoring to sell for | ® glass of liquor. He was locked up until he got sober. When he was discharzed. Me stated that he bad walked in from Philadelphia, and finding the skull on the road had brought it to the city. InatevRation oF THE TenvaNterrc Ratt- Roap.—On the 15th ultimo, Mr. W. H.

R. Webster, Esq., anda party of at- taches of the Company, and invited guests, cele- brated the inauguration of the Tehuantepee Rail- road, at Huilotepec, on the Tehuantepec river. Mr. Slidell, Father Lopez and Gov. Diaz made speeches on the oceasion, and the work was com- | menced amid the vivas of the soldiers, citizens and native laborers and the hurrabs of the Ameri- cans. The very best feeling seems to have pre- vailed on the occasion.

Giddings, who, it will be recollected, ‘has just taken leave of congressional life, is letting no grass grow under his feet, but is al- ready coining money by lecturing in New Eng- land, where he is the lion of all the lions of the times. Three quarters of all the quarters or halves being paid for tickets to his entertain- ments are doubtless paid for sights of him. The burly old man is turning his remarkably hard features to good account, indeed, after that fashion. His subject is ‘the trial of John Quincy Adams by the slave power in the House of Rep- resentatives,’’ on which he has an opportunity to reproduce all his stereotyped phrases, meta- phors and whoppers, so well known to many of the wags of the corps reportorial, as that by way of a joke when the old man had the floor of late years, they were in thé habit of repeating sof/o voce to each other, his speeches, perhaps a sen- tence in advance of their utterance.

Ninety boats in all have arrived, 72 of them from Cum- berland, bringing about 9,000 tons of coal, 8 with flour and grain, and the remaining tv from differ- ent ints with wood, hay, lime, sand. &c. The receipts for tolls at the Georgetown collector's of- fice for the week ending this morning amounts to $2,530.16, as follows: “Ascending trade, $205.92; descending, $2,321.21. The eutire receipts for tolls for the month of Marctf amounts to $2.375.28, bugging the ‘dear people’’ of Massachusetts into the notion that in sitting under bis preach- ing, they are hearing something now—fresh. —— c Facts axp Ruwors.—The N.

Tite drovers and District butchers have con- cluded to change the cattle market at the yards from Friday, the day upon which it bas her re been held, Monday. This is a good change, as it will do away with the odious practice, which frequently occurs, of taking large droves of cattle through our streets on the Sabbath day. We learn that the dwelling of Mr Heaston, on the corner of First and Potomac strects, was en- tered by thieves last night and robbed of a shawl, a purse containing some four or five dollars, a valpeble watch, two coats, and some other ar- ticles. The villains effected an entrance through one of the windows, and made their exit at street door, leaving it standing open During the lest ten days there has been shipped from Ray's dock 3,962 tons of coal, as follows : Schrs. Fairfax, Mott, tons to New York; Black It is thought probable by some persons here that ex-Senator Jones, of Iowa, will withdraw his declination of the Bogota mission. The intelligence received from Mr. Bowlin by the last mail from South America, is said to be of a character decidedly encouraging to the hope that the Paraguay difficuliy will be amicably adjusted. =o Presextep.—We learn that the grand jury yesterday made -presentments in the cases of Gen. Cullom, Inte Clerk of the House; A. G. Seaman, late Superintendent of Publie Print- ing; and P. D. Duvall, of Philadelphia. General Cullom, ou learning the activn of the |, ment, the most anxious desire for a fair, just and peaceable arrangement with the Government of the United States; and, further, that they were au- thorized to grant to the United States a treaty sim- ilar to those ot present existing between their Gov- ernment and the Governments of England. France and Sardinia; and, furthermore, to kave to arbi- tration any or all such claimeas the United States or any of its citizens might have against the Gov- ernmentof Paraguay. Judge Bowlin replied that, such belug the case, be would not then make a Rositive answer, but would meet the aforesaid Plenipotentiaries at the said city of Corrientes with- in thirty days.
