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 . a* chairman of tho committee on appro 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 intention to a«k commesalion of the gov- eminent for oonrtesies extended on that account.

On motion of Mr. Gannon, of Illinois, tho Senate's amendments to the Legisla tive appropriation bill were non-ooncurr- od in. On motion of Mr. Manning, of Missis sippi, the rales wero suspended and the Mississippi. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, moved to suspend the inlos and pass a bill to cor rect on error In the revised statu tee relative to duty on knit good*. 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 *New Hampshire, and Hubbell, of Miohi- ;, in its favor, the motion to suspend rules and pass the bill was agreed to— yeas 131, nays 48. The Speaker announced as confreres on the legislative appropria tion bill Messrs. Cannon, of Illinois, HU- cock, of New York, and Atkins, of Ten- lessee. . jMr. Paul, of Virginia, moved to suspend tbe rules and pass the Senate bill provid ing for the erection of publio buildings at Harrisonburg and Abingdon, Va., appro priating |50.U00 to each for that purpose. 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. On motion of Mr. lliscock, the Senate amendment to the House bill to pay a mile age of seven cents and a pir diem of $2.60 to witnesses in the star roote cases from beyond tbe Mississippi river was agreed to.

The motion went over without action, and the Honse, at six o’clock, adjourned until Wednesday. orneza recalled. Commodore R. W. Shufleth has been dr toched from daty in China with the Unit ed State legation under instructions from tbe States Department nnd ordered home. It is understood that his recall is due to his open letter to ez-Senator Sargoint,con taining a icvers stricture on the highest Chinese authorities, and also a serious im putation against the Empress’s character, which letter is supposed to have been writ ten to affect legislation on th» Chinese bill, which was then pending. WASHINGTON NOTES. The Senate finance committee, at a spe cial meeting to-day, had under considera tion the bill to reduce internal revenue taxation which psased in the House June 27th. Mr. Rogers, deputy commissioner of internal revenue, upon invitation of tbe committee, appoared before them and pre sented the views of the department on the pending bill. Mr. Rogers optoied tbe proviso which the House appended to the bill and gave strong reasons why it should be strioken out. This proviso allows a re bate or drawback of the full amount of reduction on all original, unbroken pack ages of checks, matches, cigars, eberoota and cigarette*, held by manafsoturers or dealers on the passage of the act, and upon which tax has been paid.

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.

A COLMUIH JtUBDMX, The Victim Ijjrlug In the Arms of l>eitth. | Cotumbut jsnqnirtr. ■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. TU boll which struck Mr. Wright en-l tered his right side and passed through Me longs. At this boor, 2 o’ciock, he is linger ing in the arm* of death, and the only hope eutertaiued is that ba i» alive. Tbe blood is eoostantly gushing from the wound end from his mouth, and he ie very re it less in deed.
