SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, speaking of protection to Ameri- ean interests in Central America, trusts that the late message of the President will be sanc- tioned by Congress. The a paper, spoaking of the Administra- tion in Catifornis. says that this State hasstood by the Kansas policy of the President from first to last, and, in proof of this, cites the joint Pétolutions of the Legislature of that State, res, questing Mr. Broderick to resign, because he did not obey the will of the people expressed through their legislature; instructing him to vote for the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton constitution. It says that these resol passed the Senate of California by ® vote of more than two to one, and that ft is ssid they will pass the popular branch by_a still more decided majority. The same paper has an article ‘n favor of the proposed mail facilities in the Gulf of Mexico._ The Intelligencer contains its usual interest> ing and correct report and digest of Congres- sional proceeding and news. —- weer WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. om Tar Receptios Last Evextxa.—It was the unanimous verdict of the ‘oldest inhabitants” and the best posted in such mattera, that since the foundation of the city, the Executive man- sion has never been crowde@to anything Ike the extent it was laet evening. S¢Veral cir- _ Cumstances combined to_produce this tesult— the popularity of the President“ind his niece ; the great number of people from the States now sojourning in ths cit¥; the anniversazy of Washingion’s birth-day; itbeing the last re- ception of the season; the balmy mildness and the Starry beautyof the evening, all conspired to flood the White House with the congregated beauty and gallantry of the Metropolis and the nation. Shortly aftér eight o'clock, the long oréseent carriage way in front of the Mansion was lined with carriages. which extended out - to a confiderable distance up and down the street; and upom the side-walk, from either direction came a surging tide of mingled broadcloth and crinoline. Not only the public rooms of the Mansion were crowded, but the - Private apartments, up stairs and down, were thrown open to the ladie=, and were immedi- ately overflowed with the coming avalanche of humanity, while the porticoes were much of the time crowded with those unable to gain admission. Every department of Govern- ment, and all classes of society, were fully represented. The President was in his usual good health and spirits, and was attended by Marshal Sel- den and Deputy Marshal Phillips. Dr. Blake, as usual, officiated in the present- ations to Miss Lane, who appeared, as ever, to charming advantage, and was assisted in her receptions by the accomplished Mrs. Craig, of Georgia. We would, no doubt, be safe in saying that almost everybody of note in the Metropolis was there; but, so dense was the crowd, that wecould get to see but comparatively few. Among those most prominent, we noticed particularly See- retary Thompson and lady; Lord Napier and Lord Radstock; Count Sartiges and lady; Sen- ator Gwin, lady, and daughter; Senators Hous- ton, Mason, Jones, and several members of the House; Capt. Ringgold, of U. 8. N.; Mrs. Jas. Gordon Bennett, secompanied by her son; Mrs. Bass of Mississippi; Mrs. Conrad of Louisiana; Mrs. Fanny Kemble; Miss Emmes, of Provi- dence, R. I, &c., &e. After 9 o'clock, the front door was almost constantly blocked by counter-currents going out and coming in; and it was after 11 o’elock before the house was cleared. A good many hats, coats, and shawls changed owners in tho jam and confusion that prevailed; and we saw several gentlemen reluciantly taking their de- parture with their heads tied up with hand- kerchiefs. Fatsenoops axp Rrwons.—The New York Tribune's correspondent gots off the following roorback, with a view of injuring Secretary foucey : “There are rumors of 2 dissolution of the Cab- inet. One is that the President has requested Mr. Toucey to Lo in view of the coming report es im the Sherman Investigating Com- The New York Times, with similar intent, publishes the subjoined pitiful insinuation ; ‘+ Although the evidence in the Sherman Inves- closed several days , and the bli- can members have pre, ded thete im had it all printed. the majority, to-day. thei sees ‘th ed page until W “ y- The ct. pose delay action, if possibi i ordinary developments to be made.”?

We will make no comments of our own upon the testimony Said to have been elicited before this Committee, i, ball report (proba- bly to-morrow.) ; if we are not greatly wiistaken, it will be found that the only par- ties really implicated in wrong doing, haye been the getters-up of the accusations against Mr. Searing. Tur Naptex Batt —A Washington lett. rin the New York Times, contains the following wisrepresentations of the Napier Ball in this city Phe wine, which should dave been abundant came nigis hy. the thirsty man was ¢ and make it it, bete te eall = —_ in for tickets, undertaking to get up for in handsome style. If's0 fey mae have made a handsome speculation out of the affair, they should have an economical arran; jt inly, ade-vent regard for the obligations that assumed by those who andertook to get map the air would have sent North for Dodsw: oun of the splendid bands w! i to be for such al Occasiow. Now, in refutation of these sweeping state- ments, calculated greatly to injure the busi- ness of those enterprising and valuable citi- sens of Washington, the Messrs. Willard, we have tof say that the wines used at the’ball ‘were selected, one and all, by a committee, composed of Mr. Hodge. Mr. Ledyard, Major Russell, Mr. W. W. Corcoran, Mr. Ogle Tayloe, and Mr. J. C. G. Kennedy, than whom | no other gentlemen in Washington city are bet- ter known asconnoisseurs in such matters. The lic will, of course. be able to form their own opinion whether they or the writer of these sweeping charges against the manner in which the Messrs. Willard performed their ccn:ract, were the party not knowing champagne from Newark cider. ~ < % * Their directions were, that all wines called for should be freely given out; and all who at- tended the ball know that at least haifa dozon waiters were engaged in opening and giving out wines from the moment the supper-room | was thrown open until it waselosed. _ In truth; the excellent quality of the wines selected by the eqamittee, snd the psagasion in which wines were provided, were the theme of universal comment at the supper-table; and on the nex morning the committee took occasion to con gratulate the Messrs. Willard upon the entire and satisfactory success of their share of the ar rangéMients. As for the supper. everything upon the bill of fare was onthe table, and in such profusion aa that at its conclusien there was sufficient left to sup quite as many persons as attended. Again, the music was by one of the first co- tillon bands in the United, States, composed of members of the Marine Band, the very best in | this country—a band with which Dodworth’s cannot compare. Those who attended the ball, we know, will agreo with usin declaring that there is no foundation whatevor for tho asper- sions on the Measra. Willard, so evidently de- signed to injure their business, embraced in the extract from the Times printed above. Lerrixe tae Wixp ovt ov tax RoorBacks. The Cincinnati Times took occasion not long since to say : “The New York News says that Cincinnati gevers ot Wednesday morning were on hand ut New York Thursday eveni Why not al so? And why not New Yor in Cine nati in equally quick time? ‘This was by the reg- ular mail; at least the News says the papers were delivered be Po =e. * * * ‘We are confident that a little more efficiency in the management of every department of the mail service would produce better and more ays- tematical and satisfactory results in the matter of mail transportation. It Is ditlleult to understand why a mail- , or half dozen of them for that matter, cannot be carried from here to New York with as much expedition and regularity asa pas- senger. It shoulel take no longer to transfer a maijl-bag from one train to another than it does a enger. The time will be aud should be at nd when both will be regularly transmitted with the best practical speed and certainty—the mail-bags never behind the traveling trunks.”* To this the Cincinnati Enguirer made the following truthful and sensible reply, which completely exposes not only the falsity of the | insinuations of the Times, but the utter hum- buggery and groundlessness of a large portion of the stereotyped complaints relative to alleged mismanagement in the affairs of the Post Office Department : ‘That is just the case now. The mail-bags are never bebind the traveling tranks. ‘They are. if anything, ahead of them. The mails were never known to be so regular—on time—or prompt in transmission and delivery, as under the active and efficient ——e of the present Postmaster é ‘oute agents. of sobriety, activity, and General.

Ifa train with the mail breaks down, the route agent must use all exer- tions to have the mail forwarded by the first con- sere. And such now is the completeness and efilciency of the route agent system that the mails arrive with the regularity of passengers and their trynks. It is true that passengers or agents may. on the arrival of the cars, post to a newspaper office aud deliver the latest newspapers, and in that way be ahead of the mails, apparently, for the latter have to be taken to the Post | Mice for distri- bution. But the mails are not behind.” ’ Pay or Navan Orricers.—A Senate resolu- tion recently called for information as to the | pay of Navy officers. From the answer we | learn the following facts: Captains—active list, 81, are paid an aggregate of $225,000; reserved list, 20, $49,500. Commanders—active list, 116, $503,500; reserved list, 17, $28,800. Licuten ants, active list, 338, $474,450; resorved list, 36, $37,800. Surgeons, 69, $147,300; Passed Assistant Surgeons, 41, $42,025; Aysistant Sur- geons, 39, $35,550. Pursers, 64, $137,800. Chap- ' lains, 24, $32,500. Professors of Mathematice, 12, $16,900. Masters in the line of promotion, active list, 20, $19,750; reserved list, 1, $750; | Masters not in the line of promotion, reserved lst, 10, $9,250. Passed Midshipmen, reserved jist, 2, $1,200; Midshipman not a graduate of the Naval Academy, 1, $300; Midshipmen graduates of the Naval Academy, 47, $18,000; Acting Midshipmen on probation at the Naval Academy, 187, $65,100. Boatsw: ins, 40, $31,- 850. Gunners, 44, $35,000. Carpenters, 48, $41,300. Sailmakers, 41, $31,950.. Chief En- gineers. 21, $37,700; First Assistant Engineers, 33, $32,100; Second Assistant Engineers, 23, $15,200; Third Assistant Engineers, 63, $37,000. This gives us « total of 1,437 officers, whose gregate salaries amount to $2,405,575. If this sum were distributed equally among them it would allow to each $1,674, but in looking over the list we find th whose pay exceed $3,000, and some even $4,000 and upwards. Thus the large majority are | paid falling considerably below the average. Ratuer SMALL.— Among the many sinall things indulged in by the opposition politicians | to injure Administration Officers, deserves to be ranked the attempt made by Mr. F. P. Blair, | Jr., in the House on Monday, to reflect on the private character of Postmaster General Brown. While the Post Office bill was under considera- tion, he offered an amendment, with a proviso, that the contract of Butterfield & Company for carrying the mail from the Mississippi river to San Francisco, California, be sv construed as to allow said contractors to earry it by any route they may select. In support of his amendment he remarked that the present branch route from Memphis, through Arkansas, had been se- lected, because the Postmaster (teneral owned @ large body of land in Arkansas. Mr. Blair and his friends must have a very poor opinion of mankind in general, to suppose that a gen- Ueman of Mr. Brown’s standing and wealth would sacrifice his official integrity for the piti- ful pecuniary advantage to enure from the lo- cation of a branch mail route through the State in which he owns land. However, the disrepu- table insinuation disloses the tendency of Mr. Blair's sooret thoughis. Men, the World over, Sreprane to suspect others of being actuated by motives that sway their own conduet.

This rank gives | no additional authority in a military sense. | and no reference to other quarters on board | ship. It is then simply as a matter of etiquette | bestowed on these according to duration | of service. Now, sir, why should not boatswainsy gun- | ners, carpenters and sailmakers have similar honors conferred upon them for their services? Are they not Americans, springing too from | the very bone and sinew of the country? Men | whose hands are hard with labor. and who } Saxyed through years of toil and | eidecangee on the fo at the carpenter’s bench, or in | the sail-loft. What difference does our free | country recognize between a hewer of wood nd a worker of iron. or between a sewer of sails and a sewer of wounds? “ Should not the man who “fishes a sprung mast’? be on the | same footing with the man who splints a broken arm. It is clearly justice, then, that the for- ward officore should have an assimilated rank assigned to them. since doctors, pursers and engineers have. Let a boatswain, gunner, car- penter or sailmaker of twelve years standing | rank with a surgeon, and so on downwards. To consummate this, I, as one of them, re- | quest that the Fas may come to the rescue of | the /aboring class of the service. Your obedient servant, Truxioxs.

Ix tux Hovse, the Post Office iation bill was considered in Committee of the Whole, and various amendments were received. Mr. Avery offered an amendment ratifyio, the contract of the Postmaster General wit Messrs. Butterfield & Co., for carrying the overland mail. Mr. A. replied to Mr. Blair's imputations on the motives of the Postmaster General in loca- ting the route, uttered the previous day, and aa the churacter of the Postmaster General elevated him far ahead of all such reflections. Mr. Blair was glad the gentleman had no- | ticed the matter. His statement was made on good authority. and if the facts were as stated the Postinaster General was not above the sus- icion deducible from them. The assertion he baa made was that the Postmaster General owned a large bedy of land which would be benefited by the route. Mr. Atkins said the Postmaster General did not own land within cighty miles of the route. Mr. Blair said he was told that it was in the Sevond Congressional district, by Messrs. Eng- lish and Craig. At the solicitation of the na- i democraey of his State the route had Leen altered 100 or 80 miles west of its original location, which would make that location about where the lands are said to be situated. He | made no imputation on the Postmaster (ieneral except such as was inferred from the facts. Mr. English denied having made the state- ment imputed to him. Mr. Craig. denied having made any state- ment from which the imputation against the Postmaster General could be drawn. In the conflict between the Butterfield route and the South-pass route, the motives of the Postmaster (ieneral were called into question, and in re- peating this he may have been understood as making the representation himself, but he had never said the route ran through the land of the | Postmaster General. | Mr. Blair denied having quoted Mesers. English and Craig, as having cast any impu- | tation on the Postmaster General; he only | -quoted them for facts. He wished to know if | the friends of the Postmaster General deny | that the original route touched his lands. Mr. Florence, on the authority of the Post- master General, said that it did not pass within eighty miles of it. The route originated with Gen. Rusk, and not with Mr. Brown. Mr. Blair was willing to accept the answer from the Postmaster General. Mr. English admitted that he might have alluded to the rumor Mr. Craig had mentioned in the presence of Mr. Blair, but had no recol- leetion of doing so. The bill incorporating the Washington Na- | tional Monument Association was passed. | Mr. Covode stated that Harry Counelly. for | whom a warrant was issued to bring him be- | fore tho Printing gating Committee to testify, had appeared before the committee of | his own accord. and then delivered himself up to the Sergeant-at-Arms; he therefore moved that he be discharged; agreed to. Mr. Hughes made an ineffectual effort to in- troduce a Tariff bill. In the evening, Messrs. Grover, of Oregon, and Stevens. of Washington Territory. advo- cated the justice of the Oregon and Washington | war claim. Adjourned. Proceedings of To-Day. Ix tHe Sesate, to-day, Mr. Houston gave notice that, on Monday next, he would scek the floor for the purpose of making a personal explanation. Mr. Bayard. from the Committee on the Ju- diciary, reported adversely on the bill provid- ing for the consolidation of the two judicial districts in Texas. Mr. Davis, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill for refunding to the State of Massachusetts certain moneys expend- ed by her in the war of 1812 A motion to print 10,000 copies of the Smith- sonian Lnstitution report was referred to the Committee on Printing. The General Appropriation bill being taken up, was under consideration when our report closed. Ix tHe House, Mr. Hughes moved to su - pend the rules to enable him to introduce a Lill to revive the tariff act of 1846, and repeal- ing that of 1857; rules not suspended. They next went into Committee of the Whole, and resumed the consideration of the Post Of- fice sPicotaies bill Mr. Montgomery moved to amend by insert- ing another article repealing the tariff of 1857. reviving that of 1846, and providing for specific duties on iron, &e. The Chairman decided the amendment out of order, and the committee sustained the de- cision by a vote of 109 ayes, noes not counted The committee then resumed the considera: tion of the amendment of Mr. Atkins, confirm ing the contract entered into by the Postmaster i General with Messrs. Butterfield & Co., and compelling the latter to abide by the terms of that contract in carrying that mail. Mr. Blair moved to amend this by allowing the contractors to carry the mail over a route of their selection. Mr. Atkins further amended by that in ease of a change being made in the route, the parties iGesedd Feaige their title to | lands selected under the law on the former route, and which they are allowed pre-emption claims. ‘The latter was ruled out of order.

SECOND STAGE. From this period the gee is aware of some unusual and disagreeable feeling, though be sel- dom takes the hint until it goes from bad to worse. Catching cold from the slightest exposure, which he cannot avoid. in consequence of t in a diseased and corrupt condition for a long time previous to the appearance of those troublesome yin ptoms, through the impure state of the blood, at every breath the ent draws he inhales a siujlar quantity of fresh air by the nostrils and mouth, which keeps the tickling that exists in the throut and bronchial tubes in a ferment of irritation. This isthe reason why some le complain of catching cold, even conti to their rooms. Hence the sufferer is hacking. hawk- ing. or expectorating a little at a time, with the impression that there is something in his throat that wants to come out, and which he desires to get out. There is a frequent desire for heavy ighing. with a dryness of the nostrils, which in- clines the patient to pick or scratch them; sleepy, drowsy, dull and heavy; loss of appetite and con- fused memory; a stuffing tightness and ion of the chest. ‘with a rawness and soreness of the gullet of the throat. ‘This iscansed by the silent enemy that has lurked in the system for months, aud even oe and has at length roused your fears; and well it might; for out off one bandsed who die of consumption. nine- ty-nine are owing to disease of the throat alone; though simply called bronchitis, and wretchedly treated by mercurial physicians. who have prov. a curse to the human family. ‘They treat their pa- tients on the following abusive principle. by eut- ting the tonsils and palute from the throat, as you might cut the gills of a fish. Next comes the so- lution or wash of nitrate of silver or caustic, and the whalebone swab, to wash and burn away the disease that has eecupied the throat. Then comes the application of blister and Croton oi! externally to the throatand neck. to draw out the inflamation, as the physicians suppose. [What blind phy!] Then comes the quack sheet of the! ria medica—Calomel, Antimony, Morphine and Opium—to salivate and lull the feelings of the pa tient. which adds to the diseases and Toonenees the suffering, by giving the disease an opportanity of triumphing over nature. What a delusive idea, to think the above treatment would be available in having recourse to those debilitating and irri- tating remedies of cutting. burning, blistering, rging and starving. Which is of itself sufticient Ay lower and reduce the constitution of an ox. THE THIRD STAGE Confirms the above remarks. While madnaiing this a hen the constitution gradual- ly failing and yiving way, in giving rise to more ing symptons, evidently preparing its victim for the shroud. while the physicians and friends fail to sce the cause until these confirmed symptoms of consumption set in, but foolishly the cause to some other besides the genuine one. till the discase has reached its meridian, with a com- plication of fresh symptoms, breathing short and hurried. cough frequent, with an accumulation of corrupted matter. sometimes strexked with blood ; profused night sweats, emaciapation and debility; cold chills in the forenoon, with burning fever af- ter; flesh soft and flabby ; the limbs scarcely able to support the body ; a Susceptibility of catching cold upon the least exposure, attended with « hoarsness and a loss of voice, with heavy expect- oration in the forenoon, flying pains in the chest, sides. and shoulders. with a severe fit of coughing in the morning, or on awakeuing from sleep. The painful crisis is fast approaching, with a owelting and putting of the feet and ankles, and frequen attacks of the diarrhaa. Tn females the symptoms are more distressing at au earlier period tian in the males, with a weak- ness in the back and loins, a sinking and exhaust- ed feeling at the stomach. nervous and excitable, with ¢ ual and frequeat interruptions of the mouthly flow, and as the disease progresses, a total or tinal cessation of it, with the harbinger of a broken down constitution. No patient treated longer than three weeks, un- less there is ample benetit derived. I remain, respectfully, &e., J.D. Drexix, M. D., Physician for the Throat and Lungs, of N. York.
