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

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.

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.

Butler offered an amendment extending
the principle of the bill to wines and
liquors.
After the reading of the amendment,

after the reading of the journal the house
resumed consideration of the fortification

ment being that offered by Randall re
ducing from $560,000 to $100,000 the appro
priation for the armament of sea coast de
fenses.
Randall withdrew the amendment ana
offered another, which was adopted by
unanimous consent, providing that guns,
projectiles, etc., purchased, shall be of
American manufacture.
The bill was then passed.
The next business was the consideration
of the senate concurrent resolution for
printing 26,000 of the third annual report
of the civil service commission. Agreed
to—yeas 1.83, nays 46.
Morrison, from the committee on rules,
reported a resolution ordering sessions for
to-night and to morrow night, the former
to be for the consideration of bills reported
from the committee on postoffice and post
roads. and the latter to be devoted to action
on bills authorizing the construction of
bridges. Adopted.
Cobb, of Indiana, from the conference

emption timber culture and desert land
laws, reported a complete disagreement.

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

would, however, cut off debate. Miller
consented to withdraw his motion and the
debate proceeded.
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-

New Yojur, July 18.—Harold Newell,
the Jersey City boy who was bitten by a
really mad dog t hree weeks ago, and who
was inoculated according to tlie Pasteur
formula by Dr. Mott, of New York, got so
bad that his father, who is also a doctor,
thought he had hydrophobia, and that the
Pasteur treatment had surely not worked
successfully. 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

that no clue to his whereabouts could be

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. It was true that for his om u
delectation he kept a few cows and horses

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.
