SPIRIT OF THE basen pea PRESS. The Union, treating upon “ Administrations and their Defamers,”’ says that the protracted civil agitations in France, which eommeneed in 1841 and ended in 1848 by the overthrow of the dynasty of Louis Philippe and the establish- ment of the socialist and agrarian government of Ledru Rollin and his confreres, were con- ducted in ‘the same manner and on the same general plan with those pursued by the oppo- sition now assailing the Administration of the Democratic party. The same paper contends that the post office bill was not a revenue measure of a nature to constitutionally prevent it or its amendments from originating in the Senate. The Intelligencer, in an article on the New Hampshire election, which’takes place to-day, adverts to the disability under which many of the States of the Union would be compelled to suffer in case an extra session of Congress should be called, and remarks upon the incon- venience to which the public service might be rendered liable in ease the President should not feel authorized to cali a special session, simply because many of the States have not yet chosen their delegates to the House of Repre- sentatives ~ ee i Among the “ passengers,’ by the City of Manchester, are three famous trotting horses which are sent out on Mr.'Tra Broeck’s account, viz: ‘ Stark,” “‘ Ranger,” and + Lexington.’ 17" The British are making every effort to set- | tle the Fraser River country and Vancouver's [s- land.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND i Deara or THE Posruasr et @ugphai abla with sincere regret we announce the decqas Hon. Aaron V. Brown, Postmaster G which occurred at twenty minu' tY oFelock this morning, after a painfal 3,0f some ten days’ duration, at his residence; corner of @ and Nineteenth streets. Although this mel- ancholy event has been expected for several days, its announcement has had the effect of casting a gloom over the minds of our citizens and the public functionaries residing here. to many of whom Mr. Brown was known person- alty, and by whom he was held in es- teem. During his illness he has had all the advantages of the best medical skill, and he has borne his sufferings with composure and calm resignation. His death was an easy trat- sition from the present to a future stage of ex- istence, and almost up to the moment of its occurrence he retained possession of his facul- ties. The President and members of the Cabinet were informed of the sad event as soon as pos- sible, and for the time being all public busi- ness will be suspended, except such as is essen- tial to the welfare of the public interests. The Post Office Department was closed as soon as convenient, in respect to the memory of the deceased. and will so remain until his funeral, except in cases of urgent necessity. The deceased eminently deserves to be classed among the eminent men of the present age, for in every position he has been called to occupy during a pubiie life of more than ordinary length, he has acquitted himself of the dutics pertipent thereto with marked ability. Mr. Grown was born on the 15th of August, 1795. and was, therefore, aged sixty-three years, six months, and twenty-three days. His birthplace was Brunswick county, Virginia, and his father was the Rev. Aaron Brown, a minister of the Gospel of high repute in the Methodist Episcopal denomination. Mr. Brown was educated at the University of North Carolina, and during his absence at school his father removed from Virginia to Tennessee. After he had graduated, he also went to Tennessee, and studied law ia the of- fice of Judge Trimble, at Nashville, to whom | he attributed mach of those habits of industry and thorough research into the merits of what- ever business came into his hands which so eminently qualified him in after life for filling public stations. He practised law in Tennessee a number of years, and for several years was in partnership | With the late ex-President James K. Polk. He was several times a member of the Tennessee | Legislature, serving at different periods in both houses, and always acquitting himself with such credit as to satisfy political opponents as | well as to gratify his friends. In 1839 he was | ously until 1845, when he was elected Governor j of Tennessee. In 1847 he was defeated in an- | politically Whig and his opponent was a very | popular man. | From that period until called by President Buchanan to fill the position of Postmaster General, he was not engaged in public life. | having refused, through delicacy of feeling. to | accept any position under President Polk, by | whom he was tendered various offices. The | long personal friendship which had existed be- | tween them, however, remained unabated up till the time of Mr. Polk's decease. Since he assumed control of the Post Office | Department the whole country is aware of the efficient manner in which he has administered | its affairs, though his usefulness has been great- ly restricted at times by the adverse action of Congress. He has added vastly to the mail | facilities of the entire country. and to his cf- | | forts mainly must be attributed that vast and noble undertaking of establishing mail routes through the hitherto unknown interior, and | ' connecting thus the eastern with the extreme western States of the Union. The advantn; to arise from this service are not yet com- menced to be felt, but it may be plainly per- | eeived that these routes will become in a few years the trail, as it were, for a line of settle- ments across the continent, and lead to the rapid filling up of those expansive territories | which would otherwise have lain unoccupied for years. | Politically, Mr. Brown belonged to the Na- | tional school. Always an unflinching Demo- | erat, fandticism had no charms to attract him | from the path of duty, and he steadily and un- compromisingly resisted all her approaches. | whether they came from North or the South. | In losing him, the nation has lost another of its leading minds, and his State has suffered a misfortune. In social life, his uniform affa- says a correspondent of the | bility and sincere good-heartedness, won for | him the respect and affection of all his acquain- | tances, and many will deeply mourn his de- mise. Within the sacred precincts of his | own family, where he was enshrined as the | object of most fervent affection, we will not intrude. Rumors are rife as to who will succeed Mr. Brown in the Post Office Department, and we hear quite a number named in this connection. | Among these are Hon. Cave Johnson and Hon. | Horatio King. The former has hitherto filled | the position, and the latter is now the First | Assistant in the Department. | of the time require the services of an offiver ac- | quainted with the Department affairs. Resrect to Tix MeMony of THE LATE | PostMasrex Gexeran.—On the announcement | being made of the death of Postmaster General | | Brown, a meeting of the officers of the several | Bureaus of the Post Office Department, together | with those of the Auditor's Office attached. was | called at twelve o'clock for the purpose of giv- ing an expression of their grief at the sad in- telligence. . On motion of Hon. Horatio King, the Hon. W. H. Dandas was called on to preside, and Henry St. George Offutt, Esy., was chosen Secretary. The following resolutions were then submit- ted by Thomas P. Trott, Ea. : Resolved, That although we have during sev- eral days received from hour to hour such reports from the death-bed of our beloved frien and respected chief—Aaron V. Brown, Postmaster G I—as have prepared us in some measure for the announcement just made to us of his decease. yet we are chilled and terror-stricken by this fin: shoc Resolved, That as some small and inadequate testimonial of our high rg for him asa public officer, our admiration of him as a*high. led gentleman, and our love for him asa kind. and true- ral in a body. Resolved, no time for us to invade the sanctity of family grief, and that we can do nothing to heal a wound so recent and so dreadful—the pain of which can only be assuaged and blunted by time—we never- theless desire to tender to the family of the de- ceased our heartfelt sympathy and condolence, prea he “agagh ood ipysinms yf this woting to cause, me, 2 c; its to be tranamitted to Nes. Brown. Proceedings On motion of Mr. C. Laury, another resolu- tion, directing the wearing of crape by the officers for thirty days, was added. Mr. King then made some appropriate re- marks, and was followed by Messrs. J. E. Peebles and D. Dunn. ‘The resolutions were then wlopted, and the enfal friend, we will attend his fune- meeting adjourned to meet again at such time |: as would enable the officers to comply with the second resolution. Coxrinuep.—The Senate yesterday confirmed the Hon. Robert McLane, of Md., as Minister to Mexico; and Mr. La Reintree, now in the Attorney General’s office, will accompany him elected to Congress, where he served continu- | | other contest for Governor, as the State was | The exigencies | Ximhat while we well know that this is | os Segretary O€ Legation, Mr. McL. will not ular governmentin ‘event shall occur to render Protrsror Post Orrice Drarts.—The Bal- timore Exchange has thefollowing: = “On Saturday last, @rafts of the Post Offiee De- partment from Contractors to the extent of | Were protested. This is the first fruits of the feat of the Post Office Appropriation bill.” This is a mistake. No drafis were issued in | consequence of the death of 3d Assistant Post- master General John Marron, oxcept such as have been duly met by the Department. The appropriations to have been made by the bill that was defeated, would not have been avail- able until after June 30th. Extra Session.—There continues to be a great deal of speculation about the probability of an extra session of Congress being called, but as yet nothing can be definitely stated re- specting it. When the exhibit of the affairs of the Post Office Department is completed, a con- sultation of the Cabinet will be held, and if it can be avoided, without too great detriment to the public interest, there will be no extra see- sion.

Se eee CONGRESSION. ———— Is The Senate, to-day, the Chair laid before | the body resolutions of a public meeting of cit- {zens in Nebraska Territory, remonstrating against the annexation to said Territory of that part of Kansas Territory not organized as a State. Mr. Hale moved to take up the resolution offered by him yesterday to the effect that no room in that half of the Capitol assigned to the Senate. and under the direction of the Vice | President, ought to be occupied for any purpose | not connected with the appropriate duties of the Senate. Supreme Court, or Court of Claim: Mr. Bright objected to the consideration of the resolution at this time. He did not see any advantage in introducing, at this session, any innovation to disturb worthy occupants of oth- | erwise yacant rooms who in no manner inter- fered with the operations of the Government. Mr. Hale foaled that the private rooms of the building were getting to be used for all sorts of unparliamentary purposes. One was occupied by a stenm doctor as a galyanie bath- ing establishment, and if a stop was not put to the abuse soon, the building that has been | reared at so great a cost for a national Capitol, | would be used as a grand central depot for all | the quack medicines in the country. | Mr. Bright said that he was not opposed to | @ re-arrangement of the private rooms of the Senate building, and moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Public Build- | ay and it was so referred. The Senate then went into Executive session. soe i197 The New York Express quotes an extract | from a letter written by a gentleman resident at | Lockhart. Hayes county, ‘Texas.

Wasnincton Socizty.—A Washington letter writer, in one of the New York papers, makes a sensible distinction, which some of the gos- siping scribes forget, between the permanent and transient population of Washington. He says: “In Washington there are two distinct sets of people—the one set consists of those who are per- manent residents, irrespective of any of the pub- lic offices; a sedate, sober, virtuous and Christian population, as isto be found in any city of the land. The other is the transient population, on many of whom there is little restraint, and over whom there is often a slender dominion of prin- ciple. Most of the brawls and public dis, are caused by this latter class.’ pee Se ee ee Private THeatRicats.—An prican trage- dian.’ who has just concluded an engagement in Lonisville.
