FROM WASHINGTON,
Washington, July 3.—In thu Senate the
chair submitt© 1 a petition Irora the presi
dent and secretary of the Independent La
bor Party of the city of New York praying
Congress to raise the capitation tax on im
migrants from fifty cents to one hundred
dollars per head. Referred to committee
oc commerce.
The Senate bill appropriating $50,000
for a public building at Ashvillo, N. G.,
was called np and passed.
Senator Goman called o p the Senate bill
to encourage and promote telegraphiocom
munication between America nnd Europe.
It constitutes Robort Jarrett,Wm. F. Burns,
Wm. F. Frick, of Maryland, and their aa-
eociates as a company to lay an ocean ca
ble from auy point on the American side
to some point on the European coast. The
bill passed with an amendment extending
the time within which the company shall
begin laying the oablo to two years from
the passage of the act.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill was prooeeded with, and the commit-
tee amendments as read agreed to. The
Senate committee reported an amend*
ment constituting the first and second
comptroller of the treasury and the treas
urer of the United States, a board of audi
tors to hear and determine all questions
arising out of the claims and proposed al
lowances growing oat of the illness nnd
burial of the late President Garfield, pro
viding methods of auditing them and ap
propriating $75,000 for the payment of the
awards and limiting the amount to be cer
tified and paid for medical serricesto $52,-
£00. It is f irther provided that all claims
shall be considered and allowance made
before January J*t. I--!, and that the ag
gregate of the awards shall not exceed tho
the amount appropriated.
Mr. Vest raised sevor tl points of order
against the amendment, but the Senate, by
a strict party vote of 20 to 19, held that it
oonld be entertained under the rales. Mr.
Davis, of Illinois, voted no with the Dem
ocrats. Mr. Vest then opposed the prop
osition with mnch oarnestne/s. Ho said
it was well known that the late President,
if not butchered, was unquestionably the
subject of milpractice. Iu his Ust illness
for eighty days, granting that he was pliys-
ioked, leeched, probed and lanced while
the bullet that was eating away his life,
never for a moment came under the at
tention of the physicians from a
medical or scientific point of
view. The fee3 were grossly enormous
and would not be allowed by a court of
any ordinary case. If Garfield's life had
been saved there would have been some
woo lor • liberal outlay on the part of
the government for medical services, but
none existed. Mr. Vest then referred to
tie newspaper charges made daring
tho President's illness, that while
tho public bulletins were giving
favorable reports; the President's
physicians ware telegraphing in cypher to
Wall street brokers information exactly
the reverro of that which was being pub
lish© 1, Ho thought it duo to the country
that nn investigation into that charge
should oven yet be made. lie regarded
the charges of Dr. Bliss of $0,000 for the
eighty days’ attendance os exorbitant, and
had read at the clerk’s desk statements
by Dr. Boynton to the effect that
on or about August 8th, 1881,
he was informed by the lato
President that Dr. Bliss was a volunteer in
the case. In this connection the testimony
given by Dr. Bliss that he was sent for by
the Secretary of War was also read.
Mr. Halo said he was unable to appre
ciate the forco of Mr. Vest’s criticism upon
the modical treatment of the late Presi
dent as a failure. Ho would follow that
Senator's oxamplo in sotting np his own
judgment against that of experienced med
ical practitioner*. He beloved that the
earnest, biboriou-* and pat., nt 1 ih >r uf the
pnblio interest, whether tho said British United Slates District judge for tho north-
minister suggested any punishment fo-, cm district of Georgia; Eugene Schuyler,
Ithoso who had spoken in that debate of of Newport, to be minister resident nnd
January 21,1**2, without his leave; whether consul-general to Itouinania, Serv*a and
lro suggested the appointment of n British j Greece ; Jno. Worthington, of New York,
Uni ted States consul at Malta ; Paul Rav-
esciep, of Alabama, United States commo
dore : A. K. Il'ighrs, to be rear admiral ;
Capt. Win. K. Mayes, to be commodore.
Tho conference committee on the bill to
enable national banking associations to
extend their corporate existence has failed
to reach agnomont on the twelfth and
and thirteenth sections of tho bill as it
passed the Senate.
O AII FI ELD MEMORIAL CHURCH.
Washington, July 3—Tho cornerstone
of the new Garfield Memorial Church wa*
laid here this afternoon on the site of the
former frame structure, known a* the
Christian Church, which the late President
and hi* family attended during their re*i-
physioians were known to the country, but
that the fact was universally admitted that
the President’s wound was noccssarily fa
tal. He deprecited the introduction cf
squabbles of disaffected physicians and
said tho amendment had originated with
the appropriation committee without sug-
gestiou or intimation^rom any ^carter,
nnd alford.-d n m<- ™ ..f r, n
matter from tho debates of Congress for a
settlement by a competent tribunal.
Some discussion followed ns to tho
grounds on which tho Sonste committee
had based its reduction from the aggregate
reported in tho House, namely, * ISOjOOO,
which it was now proposed to make fBO,-
OOCL and Mr. Hale explained that the com-
in it tee had adopted tin- 11.< 1-i-i- a*
their own, but had substiti.ti J a. lower
seals. In reply to Mr. Gnrlnud he added
that tho proposition was intended to be a
quiotas upon the whole matter, and if the
laiibuage was not snUlciently guarded to
that end, he would accept aoy modification
which would better exprets its meaning.
Mr. Garlaud said he would waiTe the
point that army sorgoons woro obliged
to attend Presidents as commander-
in-chief* without pay, and that no law war
ranted payment for medical attendance in
this ca*e. He wanted to be satisfied of the
reasonableness of tbo charge, but he would
pay every man who contributed to amelio
rate tho suffering or to prolong the life of
the lamented Garfield all that he was en
titled to. lie comment, d upon tin k , ir
ity between the high scales of the House
committee and the low scales now report
ed, ns showing the necessity for a farther
investigation of tho claims mzul advocated
a proposition requiring the charges as
fixed by the board of audit to be reported
to Congress nt its short session. He
said that if public repute was to
govern, as to tho physicians, be would
not vote to pay them one dollar, and re
ferred to the autopov to show that the bal
lot extracted from the pit lent'* to!) .. i-
fouud eighteen inches from the place nt
which it had been located.
Mr. Hawley said thu discussion would be
iadcitcribably painful to the country. The
surgeon* iu oharge of the dying President
had received the t rnyi-rful sympathy of
their profession and ot all good people,
and were entitled in common charity to
kind nud court jou* treatment here. There
wa* no justification hero or elsewhere tor
a reflection upon their personal character
and motives. Never were human beings
more seriously nnd painfully oppressed
and nuxiou* to do thoir duty than wsre
those who 1»A4 fa there 1 at the bedside of
Garfield. Replying to allusions to Dr.
Bliss, whom ho had known for twenty
your*, he said tb.it the gentleman had been
sent fot and urged to remain in tho case by
those iu authority, and had devoted him
self to the patient with so much zeal and
fidcl ty that had impaired his strength.
Mr. Hawley added that the matter would
net be a creditable one to tho American
Congress if it should be made tho subject
of party strife or peraoanl abuse. He
wanted to have an end of it at once, and
said he thanked the committee for the dis
position they had made ot it.
Mr. Hoar advocated an ’amendment so
shielding tho family nn 1 executors of tbs
dead President from litigatiou.
Me-sr*. Stieanan and Plumb made simi
lar appeals .
Mr. Allison said be frit i- to !*.• In - i .

priation*, to have entered upon tho official
record* the generous respond made to the
committee by President Roberts, of the
Pennsylvania railroad, declaring U to have
been not only a duty but a pleasure for the
company to do what it could to increase
the comfort and aid in restoring the health
of the late President, and di* Maiming auy

Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, said the bill
was presented under a suspension of tha
rales, in order to prevent any amend
ments being adopted which would modify
the hardships of the present tariff system.
After brief remarks by Mr. Carlis e, of
Kentucky, in opposition to the bill, and by
Messrs. Robinson, of New York, Haskell,
of Kansas, Iteelte, of Indiana, Briggs, of

tbe rules and pass the Senate bill provid

Harrisonburg and Abingdon, Va., appro

After an hour was consumed in efforte to
obtain a quorum, Mr* BflflfetC Wleno#-
sin, took the floor in opposition to the bill.
At far os he had learned the only products
of the two towns were pennyroyal and sas
safras, which grow largely in the streets,
rhere was not enough business there to
keep down its growth so that small chil
dren could walk about without getting lost
in tbe woods. Mr. Pant created a good
deal of amusement by his defense of tbs
bill and by his denial that it was a penny
royal measure. The motion was finally
agreed to and the bill passed.

amendment to the House bill to pay a mile

It is understood that his recall is due to
his open letter to ez-Senator Sargoint,con

which letter is supposed to have been writ

Ex-Be ator Chrivtianey had a short lncl-1
dental interview with hie wife in this city J
to-day. Tbe eireomatoaoee are aa follows:!
White walking up Third street at the inter-1
section of Indiana avenue, abont 9 o’clock
this morning, Mr. Chriatianry saw his wife
standing in the front parlor window of her
residence waving in her hands, aa if to at-
tract his attention, what teemed to be a
letter. He thought ..t first that tbedem-l
oost.-atioa was intended for aome other
I passer-by, but upon looking around and
seeing no one in the street ex-
ospt himself, he came to the con
clusion that the letter was intended for
himself and decided to gat it. As be
started in the direction of the house, Mrs.
Christioncy left the windiw and as be
reached the door the opened It and with
much apparent excitement and agitation
threw arm* aroond him and Mimed to oak
his forgiveness. He gently bat 'quickly I
disengaged himself, and after exchanging
a few words with her withdrew.
In an interview with a reporter Mr.
Christianey said that he moat decline to I
give any particulars with regvrd to the

[significance whatever, and that be regarded^
Ida wife only with pity and sorrow. “ Yon
may say, however," he added, "that this
will be our lost Interview, and that the
pending eait for divorce will go on. Mr*.
Christioncy and I shall never Uve together
again." As additional evidence, if any were!
needed, that no reconciliation or compro
mise is contemplated, the fan may bei
stated that Cbrhtlancy's counsel, with per-1
nriaeionof the chancellor, hoe just filed!
a supplemental bill charging Mrs.

■On last Friday aftemoou a Uttle son of I
[Mr. Wright, foreman of the Enquirer-Sun,
■ company with several other boya, wero
H their way to the river where they con
templated going in bathing. x They wore in
[the habit of going thero, and in order to
■ do this they went through Ben Mitchell's |
watermelon patch, yrhero a regular path
led. Ben saw them aa he had often seen
them before, and atartei aftet them. All
the boyi ran bat the litUe eon of Mr.
Wright, who said that hv wav doing noth-1
ing wrong, and didn’t propose to ran. The
negro Ben canghthim and sent a little
negro boy to hit honse fora cowhide.
When tbe little negro returned Ben held
Mr. Wright’s son and made the little negro
^■severely.
■^^■ight was made acquainted with
tliesa fact* while he was engag’d in his
duties in this office. He left and went in
search of the brute who had committed!
thi* diabolical outrage, upon his son. -He
went to hia house and to several other
places, but could not find the object of his I
search. He did find the Uttle negro and I
gave him a cowhiding with the same
weapon he had used upon hie eon. He
raaue a second attempt to fidd Ben on
Sunday, but without snocesa.
Yesterday morning Mr. Wright came to
the office and took charge of hia usual du
ties. He had been in the office but a short
timo when Holland Mitchell, a brother of
Ben, came to tbe office to see him. Mr.
Wright did not know Ben, bat knew Hoi-
land. It appears that Holland’s million
was apparently that of a pacemaker. He
knew Sir. Wright was banting for his
brother, and told him that Ben had sent
him to tee if the matter could not be set
tled. and to know what satisfaction Mr.
Wright wonld demand Holland was po
lite and courteous aa be coaid well be, and
said that Ben wonld not have whipped tbe
boy for any consideration had he only have
known that it was Ids sou. He made ench
I profuse apologise that Mr. Wright finally
told him that he wonld take no farther
Btcpa in tbe matter, for three or four weeks
I at least, bat that he dd not want to see
Ben, and must not let him bear from him
on the subject one way or another. Thi*
Sir. Wright repeated to the writer, and to
several others connected with the office.
Home time after the negro Holland left,!
Mr. Wright started down Droid street to
go to hi* residence. He met hia brother,
who told him that Ben was oat hunting
him and with a shot-nan and pistol. Mr.
Wright then asked offlosr Robinson to go
with him np that way, as he desired to set
tle the matter. They went np the street in
the neighborhood, when officer Robinson
was called to go on dot/, and Mr. Wright
went on alone. The idea was that Mr.
Wright was going up to prevent hie broth
ers from making on attack on the negroes.
He went op m far m WiiloU’a store, and
after remaining there a abort time contin
ued hia way up Oglethorpe street in the
direction of tbe cegro'a house, and in a few
minntee the shooting began. ^■■1
Aa to how the difficulty began UlMH
|possible to ascertain. There was bat a few!
negroes who witnessed it. and they made
conflicting statements. One of them said
that the negro was going up the street,
r nd when he saw Mr. Wright he tamed
back and eame meeting him, with a pietoll
in hia right hand and the barrel resting on
the elbow of bis left arm, and after they
had paaeed each other that Mr. Wright
forced and fired, when .Ben returned the
shot and Mr. Wright fell. When told that
lUr. Wright did not know Ben, the witness
said thsths asktd, "Is that Holland Y* to
which rams the reply: "No, It is Ban," end
Mr. Wright then fired.
The negroes both made their escape and
came into the city, woert they gave thmmd
selves up and were locked in jail by
■hcrii.
