SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, speaking of Mr. Grow and the next Speakership. says that reflection on the subject only brings out in new colors of repre- hension the action of Mr. Grow and his asso- ciates in defenting the annual appropriation bill for the Post Office Department. Tt says that the game for the next Speakership was almost certainly won, and he desired to make assurance doubly sure—that he desired to pre- cipitate the organization of the next House, by foreing on an extra session, at a time too early to permit elections to be held in Califurnia and Oregon at least, if not in some of the Southern States, in time for the elected members to reach Washington before the organization of the House. The same paper, speaking of the neglect of Congress to provide mail service to California and the other States on the Pacifie coast, ex- presses the hope that contractors will promptly signify willingness to continue the work with- out exseting of the Department any agreement to pay, but leaving the subject to Congress.

More open and barefaced perversion of the truth war never essayed than that of the paper presented .o the House from that committee by Messrs. Sherman and Ritchie—an achievement in its way quite equal to the never-to-be-for- gotten report or speech of Gold-Spoon-Chariey Ogle, which was not more glaringly based upon fictitious premises. Thé idea of endeavoring to cast censure upon the President because he sent to the Navy Department, to be there filed, the letter from Mr. Patterson, will be recog- nized by those who understand the method of transacting such business in the Department here. The chances are one hundred toone that the President saw no more of the contents of that letter than he sees of at least a hundred letters per diem, which, being addressed to him, are, as soon as sufficient of each is read to ascer- tain to which Department’s business they ap- pertain, immediately folded, endorsed over, and sent there. Nothingis more common than for such letters, when received from a person in whom an Executive confides more or less, to be forwarded, without being read, to the De- partments, with a single line from that officer ealling especial attention to them. Were the President to attempt to read a tithe of the let- ters addressed to him he would have no time arb! ih per diem would be too short a time in which to | accomplish that task. Of these aitempts to misrepresent the testi- mony above referred to, the Pennsylvanian | pertinently says : “+ Among the charges made is that of gross fa- voritism and corruption in the award traets by the Navy Department, and the allegation | isthat both the Secretary of the Navy and the President Lave overstepped the limits of an honest discharge of their official duties in counection with certain specified eases. One of these cases is that of Merrick & . of this city. What are the | the facts on which this charge rest? ‘These gen- tlemen were bidders for a contract for machinery Among the letters written in relation to their © onsideration was one from William C. | Patterson. of our city, a high-toned. honest. uj. right gentleman. in which guests the imipor- sance of awarding the contract to Merrick & Son. if the same can te done without prejudice to the pudlic service. ‘This is the point of the letter, and the faet that it contains certain political allusions does not render it liable to a construction ditfereut | from what the writer ce. “Thi ter the President Cy ati is actof the President is It the Presi- stions ¢ Seere- Navy, that would have been a cause for | Just complaint.

Neither Mr. Baker nor Mr. Patter- son urged upon the President or Secretary Toucey to award the contracts to certain men because they | are Democrats, if the public judiced thereby. But this Minority places upon the letter, and they attack + Mr. Buchanan and the Secretary of the Navy from that position. But the whole attempt has proved a failure, and the originators of the vile, disrepu- table political scheme have received the scorn and contempt of all Lonest men. “The fact is. there ix nothing proved, so far as we have seen, showing that iu any of the con- tracts. the interests of the Government have been sacriticed. On the contrary, the contracts were given to responsible parties, at fair prices, mage opinions of the different n them a jemonstrate that this consideration was y, and not paramount as ischarged in the Report to Which are alluding.”’ Tur Travet.—The travel both ways, to, from and through this city, is just now very large. The usuual Spring caravans of South- ern merchants going North for goods, are daily passing over the Orange and Alexandria and _ Potomae and Richmond railroads. They scem to journey in large parties, and are a very jolly set of fellows, indeed. Apropos—The story of land slides in the mountains upon the great Southwestern line is made of whole cloth. It was doubtless manufactured to injure the busi- ness of this great and important line. Passen- gers who have just come over it from New Or- leans to Washington City, assure us that no other railroad line in the world can be in better order or more agreeable to travel over. We may say as much for the greut Southern line via Petersburg and Wilmington. The rivalry of the Southwestern line has spurred up the companies composing the Southern line to the point of availing themselves of every improve- ment in their reach likely to induce travelers to choose their route. The consequence is that two more splendid and delightful great lines of railroad connection. Tu Washington city this the New York and Illinois lines, the Pennsy!- and Ohio line, through the Federal Metropolis. Tue Treasury Exrexstox.—No part of the Congress is more regretable than their failure to appropriate for the continuation of the work on the Treasury. Extension. There can be no doubt that the pressing requirements of the metropolitan business of the Treasury Depart- ment absolutely demand for its convenient and Proper transaction the increased room to be obtained by the completion of the work. The cost of the Department in our midst—its ex- penses—will be materially lessened by the in- creased facilities it will enjoy from the comple- tion of the building as designed. The policy of the House with reference to the Appropria- tion was therefore eminently penny “pound flish,” if penny wise.” The fifty thousand appropriated to securing the work from dilapi- dation for the time being, being so much worse than thrown away. Fortunately, there is said to be $250,000 of the last appropriation for the work still unconsumed. We trust that Seere- tary Cobb will feel at liberty to continue touse it for the purpose for which it was set apart at the last session; the late action of the Hovse | clearly having no reference whatever to it. Tux New Tump Assistant PostwasTer Geyer au.—Mr. Zevely, the new Third Assis- tant Postmaster General, has grown old in the service of the Department, wherein for some years past he has occupied the place of great- eat trust and responsibility, next after the po- sition of an Assistant Postmaster General. He is @ gentleman of few words, great industry and caution, excellence sense and sorupulous rectitude of character—qualities which fit him eminently well for the satisfactory duties of the position. We do not know that Mr. Zevely has any particular politics.

H. 8. Gilbert, dated January 9th, at South | im the Rocky Mountains, the Interior ‘Department is informed of the murder, t place, on the 4th of Jarary, of one of its em ployees, Mr. Charles Miller, by a man named C. E. Blakeslee. Mr. Miller was an attache of | the party who accompanied F. W. Lander, | Est.; in the construction of the wagon road to California, by the way of South Pass. ‘We was left therein charge of sonie” articles | belonging to the expedition, and, during the winter had rendered himself extremely service- able by taking meteorological observations, and performing such other duties as were calculated to be of advantage to persons traveling across | the continent. Blakeslee. it is said, foreed hith to a quarrel, and then shot him. He died im- mediately on receiving the wound. The murderer was sent to the military court at the bridge across the Platte river, but as it is understood that tribunal has no jurisdiction in the case, he will most likely be set at liberty. AppoixtEep.—Mr. Louis Watkins has received an appointment to a Clerkshipin the Post Office Department, at a salary of $1.200 to fill a va- eancy oceasioned by the promotions consequent upon Mr. Zevely’s appointment to the Third Assistant Postmaster General, viee John Mar- ron, deceased. Mr. W. bas been heretofore engaged as a temporary clerk in the Depart- ment, and was one of those dropped on account of the refusal of Congress to make an appro- | priation for an extra force. | Tue Texan Bovnoany Cowsissiox.—From a private letter dated Feb. 10th, we learn that the work of surveying and marking the boun- dary between the United Stutes territories and ‘Texas is progressing rapidly. notwithstanding the inclemency of the season. The weather is represented as having been extremely cold luring January, the thermometer being some- times as low as 45 deg. below freezing point. The party were all in good health. Ture Arwy Appropriations.—On Friday night and Saturday last a report was rife here saying that the President had not signed the Army appropriation bill on account of the clause in it for liquidating the claim of the | State of Massachusetts for the services of her militia in the war of 1812. The rumor created quite acommotion among the large numbers * of persons in Washington connected with that branch of the public service.

We hear, too, that | he has been inundated with farewell letters from all quarters of the country. Heattn or tHe Postwaster Generay.— At the time of the Star's going to press Post- master General Brown was still alive, but with very slight hopes of his recovery.
