Washington, July 19.—Whltthorne in troduced n bill to return the tax collected on cotton collected by the United States in 1865, 1866, 1867 and 1868 from the people of certain states of the union, to be held and used by such states for educational purposes. He said he would in a day or two asked leave to submit some remarks thereon. Calendar. Logan called up the house bill for the enlistment and pay of general service clerks and general service messengers in the |army (not to exceed 148.) Passed with amendments. Blair offered an amendment to the house joint resolution for the use of the surplus revenue in the payment of the public debt. The amendment provides that before the payment of any part of the surplus there shall be received and set apart *79,000,000 to be known as the common school fund, such fund to be paid out as provided in his educational bill. Ordered printed. The senate then took up the oleomar garine billj and Vance proceeded to argue against it. Vance characterized it as the most vicious of all legislation ever attempted in the senate, most outrageously violative of the constitution and of individual personal right. It was literally “protection gone to seed.” It was an attempt to use the tax ing power of the government for private purposes. Carried to its logical extent, it reminded him of what a naturalist once told him as when governor of North Caro lina he had favored the introduction of black bass. The naturalist told him that from Nenruska . , . Wycki would brush it aside a..s . ..ud pass this bill without regard to toe provisionsor limitations or restrictions of the constitu tion. It was painful in this forum, at least, to hear such language. Senators woula abolish the constitution and establish on its ruins a parliamentary government to do as it pleased. That was the position of some senators, lie submitted in all candor and frankness that ol all violations and disregard of the constitution this bill was the most flagrant and unblushing that was ever introduced in congress. Having re ferred to the artificial coloring of butter, he asked an explanation of that, and whether that was not itself fraudulent. Miller explained that the practice in that matter was perfectly proper and innocent. Ingalls, in elucidating that question, pro duced a vial of coloring matter and com mented upon the circular accompanying it. The preparation, he said, pretended to be manufactured at Burlington, Vermont. [Laughter at the expense of Edmunds.] This vial, he said, was warranted by the firm which put it up. “Perfected nutter color, at Burlington, Vt., for dairy pur poses” was warranted to color 300 pounds of winter butter. It had been pretended, be said, that the dairymen of Vermont and elsewhere, engaged in their bucolic honesty and simplicity' in the struggle with the herculean efforts of the manufac turers of oleomargarine. One sentence in the circular recommended the coloring matter as giving the butter a tint like the highest grade of Jersey butter, and which no expert can detect. The fourth recom mendation in that circular was that the coloring matter was economical in use, re quiring no labor, and was c heaper than other coloring matter. The vials were of three sizes—costing 25 cents, 50 cents and $1.00, and coloring respectively 300, 750 and 2000 pounds of butter. He almost hesitated to read the last paragraph. Several senators—“Let us have it.” It was a warrant to add at least live cents per pound to tho value of white but ter (laughter), and return a dollar for black bass introduced into a pond would j every cent it cost. This, said Ingalls, hold destroy every other iflish. “All the ing up a vial, is the preparation. It looks better,” he said; “but that was not all—he I like tincture of iodine. It is manfactured at was told that after they had cleaned out | Burlington Vt., tor the use of dairymen, every other fish ami frog and tadpole, they j and is warranted to add five per cent per turned on one another and eat each other pound for every pound of white butter that up. So the doctrine of protection was the they make in winter time. He explained black bass of American politics.

He was not sure, vour its own species. It now I he said, whether this little tragedy—(But ler suggested a comedy')—whether this little tragdy, or comedy, or burlesque had been rehearsed between the senator from South Carolina and the senator from Kan sas. There seemed to have been a perfect understanding between them. They must have been sitting up o’ nights rehearsing it. The advertisement given to this Bur lington manufacturer of butter color ing could not have been got by him for $50,000 in ready cash. He (Millen knew nothing about this color ing matter. When the distinguished sen ator iIngalls) was going over its wonderful dualities he was carried back began to eat American industries. On the principle of the bill congress would have To tax kaolin to prevent the adulteration of caudy; glucose to prevent t lie adultera tion of sugar; chicory to prevent the adul teration of coffee, and finally congress • would have to descend to an investigation of the mystery of sausage and boarding house hash. The bill would result, not in Darwin’s survival of the fitti it, but in the survival of the unfittest, because any busi ness that came to congress and invoked the arm of the law t,o keep it alive at the expense of other business was unfit to live, and thus it was that the protectionists battle to his boy hood days when, on general training days once began, bequeathed by a howling sire i he used to see a man standing on a wagon to the son only could Oe fought and won by | auctioneering his bogus goods or bogus taxing every son of a gun in the name of j jewelry, or offering to the people American liberty. 'Laughter.. He was I some elixir of life. Whether the opposed to the bill, not only because of its ] senator bad ever had any experience uneonstitutiouaiity, but on account of i s of that kind, he (Miller) did not know, but inexpediency and the oppression which it I the senator, had showed great aptness for would bring about, for on every hearth-I it. If the senator failed in his present call- stone would be a government spy. What ■ i.ig, be could certainly succeed in that difference was there between this proposed ! kind of work. It had always been known law and the club of the strikers who re- that coloring matter was used in butter fused to let non-union tnen work. As much i just as salt was, and nobody ever regarded as he abhorred both he had infininitely i it as a fraud. The senator from Kansas more respect for the elub of the striker j usually came to the capital with a flaming than he had for the legislative sneak in i red neck tie. Why not wear one the protective interest. One was manly I of the natural color of the cocoon? Be- and open and acknowledged itself to be cause the senator admired some other a violation of the law, while the other color, and that was the true way of butter w as. an attempt by a perversion | and everything else. of the law and 'the constitution Ingalls said that the senate would bear to secure one interest an advantage over i him witness that in his observations he its rivals.

He laid, however, i.i iis experi ment lor making butter a.i t cheese, m pended ten dollars for every dollar which he got back in return, but, wuether this bill became a law or not, it wo il I no; add one farthing to any profit which he conid possibly receive, tor whatever butter was made on his farm sold for a price so high that it was is no way affected by the competition of j oleomargarine or butterine, or oilier bogus stuff'.

Three-fourths, or more, of me national legislators wore lawyers, and shoulu it be said that whether i-wyer.-, farmers or manufacturers, they could not honorably discharge their legislative functions? he thought lint. He had no I answer to make to the imputation of the i senator from Kansas, that he (Miller,) was actuated in support of this Dill by base and corrupt motives. Having been born, | and having lived among the dairy classes all his life, and seeing them to-day being driven from their farms through bttiikruprcy, he had felt called upon to raise • his voice for their participation, and no sneers at : the dairymen of the country, no implica tions that he was actuated by base and cor rupt motives would close his mouth. He appealed from that infamous charge to ! his constituents through all the great rural districts of New York. He left the judgment of the matter to them and not to anv man on the Hoar of the senate who ventured to charge him with Corruption. These were words which a senator or any other man ) would not dare to speak to him outside of the senate chamber. They might 1 shield themselves behind the constitution ! and behind parliamentary laws, but he would go to his constituents | on that base aud infamous charge and there he would leave it. This closed the personal altercation be tween she senators from Kansas and New York. The senate listened to the speeches with great interest and curiosity and there was ail almost painful stillness in the chamber as each of them spoke. Then Butler rose and closed the debate for the day. He repudiated the suggestion that there hac] been any prior understand ing between lnmself arid Ingalls, or that there had been any “rehearsal of the tragedy.” He sincerely hoped, however, thaL it would not result in u tragedy. He saw a good many comic features attached to it. A good many things had been said in a piekwicklan sense, which he had no doubt eaeli senator would consider cooly when he got outside the chamber. In conclusion he argued against the bill as a measure which could result only in op pression, calamity and disappointment. Evarts took the tloor, but yielded to a motion to adjourn. After a fruitless attempt to fix an hour to-morrow at which a vote should be taken, the senate at 6:10o’clock adjourned.

Randall withdrew the amendment ana offered another, which was adopted by unanimous consent, providing that guns, projectiles, etc., purchased, shall be of American manufacture.

Jlly P steamer Gate City, Captain Hedge, of the Boston and Sava.mail steimsuip line, while on passage from Savannah to Boston, went ashore on the south side of the island of Nmishon, i i Vineyard Sound, at 7:15 o’clock last evening in a thick fog mid now lies in about fifteen feet of water. The steamer bad been in a fog all day, and for four hours had had her engine stopped. When she struck she was going under one bell and had a man heaving lend. She struck just ns the man called out “we have no water.” A boat put off from the steamer ana went in search of help. Near Tar paulin C. v ■ the b at encountered .the steamer William Brown, which went to tho Gate City and took off thirty of her fifty-two passengers and brought them to this city, where they took the 5:25 train for Boston. The rest, of the passengers and crew re mained on the Gate City, but it is thought that the Brown will take them up on the next trip to tho steamer. ; The Gate City struck twice, once on her port bow nnd again about amidships, and as so m as she settled down her fires were extinguished and no efforts could be made to get her off She lies in a comparatively easy position and will, it is believed, be gotten off She has a large number of watermelons as freight. The passengers who were landed saved all their baggage. They spoke in high terms of the coolness and courage of Captain Hedge and his officers, and say that owing to their promptness there was no panic. All was done for the comfortof the passengers that vras possible, and no blame for the acci dent attaches to those in charge of the steamer. The fog had been thick all day, and when the steamer struck it was impos sible to see more than a few feet ahead, although after she struck the fog lifted and land could be seen less than the steamer’s length ahead. Tho fish commission steamer Albatross, Captain Tanner, returned from the steamer Gate City at 3 p. m., after having to'.ved Captain Davis’ wrecking crew to the wrecked* vessel. A diver examined the ship's bottom, and reported the keel for ward split and broken. One pjoce, six feet in length was sent up. The garboard is started, and there are holes in the ship’s bottom. A big boulder, which the diver says Is higher than his head, is directly under the ship near amidships, arid has separated the ship’s bottom. The after compartment is tilled with water, but it is believed to be tight and that the water rail in from the deck. There was twenty-four feet of Water under the ship’s stern, and the ship can only be saved by the promptest action, as her position is a dangerous one. If the sea remains smooth until steam pumps arrive she can be saved, Captain E. Baker, with an ex perienced diver, has just left here for the wreck. Pour steam pumps and ample wrecking appliances are uow on their way from Boston and will be on hand to-mor row morning. The wind was southwest, and blowing a moderate breeze this after noon with occasional tnunder. It ts ex pected that 50,000 watermelons on board will have to be thrown over board. HYDROPHOBIA.

A vote was taken on Harris’ amendment making it unlawful to sell oleomargarine within the District of Columbia or the ter ritories. unless it was distinctly marked ns such. The amendment was defeated—16 tu«2. Miller renewed the motion to lay But ler's amendment on the table, and the mo tion was agreed to—33 to 10. Vest spoke strongly in opposition to the bill on constitutional grounds, and that it was legislation favoring one class of men at the exners of another. He held that the question should be left entirely to state control. Van Wyck advocated the passage of the bill. The idea was not to prohibit or re strict the manufacture of oleomargarine, but to establish a system whereby fraud in the mutter might be cheeked. The article . stripped of its disguises and sold in the market on its own merits. He agreed with the senator from Missouri Vest, that one industry should not profit at the expense of another iiulus try, but that was not this case. The ques tion here was whether one honest industry should be protected against the fraud of another. No- one would accuse Armour & Co. Ot fraud, and vet their brands Were intended to ele ceive.

The boy was inoculated by Dr. Mott four times. The treatment pro duced such alarming symptoms a few days ago that Doctor Newell decided not to go on with him, though his faith in Pas teur whs not broken. Yesterday the boy complained of severe pains in the pit of his stomach, just where the injection had been made. Mrs. Newell was at home alone. .She applied cold Wilier to the place where the boy said the pain was. and he seemed relieved. Later it was found that the child had been feeding on green apples.

It is said that the people used this article because it was cheaper, but the people did not *jet the h* m iu of 10 cheapness because of his fraudulent brand ing. Congress undertook in this bill to deal with that question, and he saw no constitutional objection to it. Butler said that.slnc£ the iounuatmn ol the government congress had taka n a great many liberties with the constitution. There had been times when confessedly it had camped outside of the constitution, but he had hoped that there was revciicnce enough for that instrument to have saved people than had been presented in regard to this measure. In tin oilier house it had been under the leadership of the chairman of a committee who was himself engaged in the dairv business, and in this body that gi.Leman as reinforced by the chairman of the committee on agriculture iMillen, who was engaged in the same business and who M as to proflt directly by tin* legislation. The senate had heard something about attorneys who were members of congress not being per mitted to take lees against the government in cases \\ here land grant railroads were involved. The impropriety and indecency of members doing such a thing had been dwelt upon, and dwelt upon properly, much more imp” per was it? how much more inde- lciisibte was it for chairmen of com mittees of the two houses to present a measure in which they had direct personal interests? And then,*’wlien an argument was made against it to. descend to the arena of vulgar personalities and denun ciations in order to make the passage of the measure less obnoxious. Miller, apparently laboring under great excitement, rose to reply. lie denied having referred to the senator’s Ingalls*i calling in early life. The senator had charged him with being directly interested in this measure. He Miller Mas proud of the fact that he had been born and reared on a farm.

Bt. Loris, July 17.— 1 The grand jury closed its investigation of the charges against members of the house of delegates last night, and returned indictments against six of them. Waters, Pishon. Brueggemann, Goutenboch, Keernan ana one other, whose name has not been ascer tained, were indicted for drunkenness in office, and Keernan, Pison and Brady for bribery in connection with the investigation of the Casino theatre investigation when the bill revoking that theatres’ license for indecent performances wae before the house. The jury returned two other in dictments for attempted • bribery, one against Dr. Wellington Adams and the other against Charles A. Davis, an attor- tornev. These gentlemen have charge of the electric railway bill and were present at almost every session of the house urg ing its passage. The bill failed to pass, however, and it is said that Doctor Aaarns became enraged at the members who had voted against the measure, and threatened in t he lobby of the house to show up some of them in such an unfavorable light as to make them‘decidedly uncomfortable. Then followed the charges against twelve delegates that they were ineligible to office, having perjued themselves by swearing falsely to the oath when they took their seats. This exposure naturally aroused the wrath of the ac cused, and they determined to pay the doctor off in his own coin, and gave in formation to the jury w r hich led to his in dictment, this information being that he had offered two of the members a large sum of money for their affirmative votes upon the bill. Dr. Adams states, however, that he never attempted to bribe these members, but that they, on the oth°r hand, came to him and volunteered to vote for the bill for a certain money consideration. Bench warrants for the arrest of the in dicted men have been placed in the hands ef the sheriff, and Delegate Peshon and Doctor Adams were arrested this after noon and brought into court, where they furnished bonds in the sum of $1500. The other warrants will be served as soon as possible. JEALOUSY *AND MURDER. A Tnucwly of fli« Passions Kiiurttol in yaslirilk*. Nashville, Tenn., July 18.—Northeast Nashville was thrown into a state of wild excitement late to-night by a shooting scrape, in which five persons were injured, two of them seriously. The case is most sensational. Two years and a half ago P. H. Monohan came here, and being an expert cotton miller, easily gained employ ment in the Tennessee cotton factory. Here he met Laura Carney, a poor but re spectable and honest girl, employed as a weaver. He at once fell in love with her, and courted her, but was so jealous that he frightened her. He became disheartened in his suit and left the city, going to Chicago, where he worked awhile, goinjr thence to Augusta, Ga., and finally drifting back to Nashville. He began courting Miss Carney again, and for a time they were engaged, but he spied upon her every movement and annoyed her so much by his jealousy that she broke the engagement. He threatened to kill her unless she married him, and last Sun day night fired two shots at her front gate to alarm her. Miss Carney lived alone* with her mother and a small brother, so that there was no one to whom she felt like appealing. The manager of the cot ton factory heard of it, however, and threatened to discharge Monohan unless the persecution ceased. Monohan replied that if he could not get her by the minister he would by the revolver. To-night Miss Carney and some of the , neighbors M'ere sitting in Miss Carney’s parlors after coming f rom church, singing a religious song. In the midst of “Nearer my God to Thee” Monohan entered the room, pistol in hand, and without a word shot Miss Carney in the head. He then shot tit John Rice, tlie Rill striking him in the abdomen, hut being turned by a button so as to prevent a fatal wound. lie shot Mrs. Carney through t he arm, and John Chipp. who attempted to disarm him, received a bullet through tin hand. Stepping into the hall he then shot himself m the head His own wounds and those of Miss Carney are perhaps fatal. The affair caused the great est excitement, arid th**r»? were determined threats of i^ nching, which was only pre vented by the quick arrival of the police, wno carried him tojaii sis quickly sis pos- sibl Monohan is d« lii-mus, and keeps re- ting that Laura’s mother made him kill her by opposition to ills suit.
