have eo unexpectedly tendered me.

Wilkins, when the latter struck at him
with the hludle of a spade. One report
is that the blow fell on the back ot the
man's head, and another ha3 it that
he dodged the blow and, in doing so
fell and broke his neck. At any rate,
his neck was broken and he died al
most instantly. A coroner s inquest
was held vesterdav. but we have not
learned "the verdict. Dr. Morri

Washington Affairs.
Washisgto, Jan. 14. -The Senate
Committee on patents had before them
this morning the bill passed by the
House in May last, relieving the heirs of
William Graham from all disabilities
now existing, and preventing them from
renewing or reviving the application of
the Administrator ot the estate for a
certain invention or discovery of a novel
method of or means for extinguishing
fires, Src. . Judge Bond, of Chicago,
represented the Graham heirs and Judge
Lochrane, of Georgia, and Judge Bar
rett. of Washington, the National Fire
Extinguisher Company, of New York.
At least a dozen other gentlemen in
terested in the Fire Extinguishers were
nresent. The Committee consideicd
that as it had been so . long since Gra
ham made, his application, namely,
1837, the entertaining of the proposi
tion for revising said application
would work injustice to those who
have embarked their capital in
the new Fire Extinguishing Companies.
They therefore unanimously ordered
that the bill ought not'to pass the Sen
ate. : .
Col. Carrington tri-day made an ar
gument before the Committee on Com
merce, in favor ot the pending bill
proposing Congre s shall, through the
Bureau of United States Engineers,
complete the James River and Kanaw
ha Canal, and that Commissioners,
appointed by .eight Western States and
Virginia, shall control the same.
The bill .appropriates $8,000,000 for
the work. Virginia and West Virginia
tender their expenditure of ten million
dollars, on condition of completion,
and when the national expenditure shall
be fully returned to the United States"
the canal is to be free from all tolls, ex
cept those necessary to keep it in repair.
