ENTERESTING LETTERS. ww Our Washington Correspondence, Wasuineron, Sept. 3, 1952. ‘Whe Printing of Congress--- Patronage—Generosity awith the People’s Money--- Messrs. Mangum and Webster—The Latter Prepar mg to Fore aa Gun, &c Durning a recent debate in the Senate, Mr. Hale, ‘With the freedom and bolduees for whioh he is dis- tinguished. accompanied the oroposition which he introduced, for the catublispment of a government printing ofice, with some trutb/ul remarks, daring which ho said, there has beew one paper which was made the special organ of the great interests of a great portion of this country, und yet it could not dive. It died, and the otbers sro suffering under the samo complaint—s surt of collapse of the eto- mach—and, unless somethivg is done fur their ro- Jef, they must follow the fate of their illustrious predecessor. It had no bras, and therefore could not think; it had no besrt, wad tierefore could not feel; it had no cash aud cherefore could not live. With this complicatiou of disorders, it had gone the way of all curth, aud has leita mournful valedictory behind it. Such is a true picture drawa of the Southern Press—a papor that paid tho debt of aature wish forty thousand dollars due cv its proprietors from its many subscribers. Whoo » uc #spepor is really of interest to the couvtry—like tho New Youk Hgratv—the people will pay tur it, aud, iustend of allowing it to go into utwr bankruptcy, will amply xeward the editor for his tot Tho Union, with great glve, uanyunces the ‘uni- versal union cf the demucravy” upou the caudidates of the democracy, ** as ine 6-8. assurance that we have not hesitated to do ove suoiv duty to our paiement The pabulum furcimied to that esta- lishment by its friends tu Cougress—viecting its pro- prictor printer, by a large mujurity overa dozen others voted for—enables that priv, to speak with moro boldness thon heretofore, voi uerves it vo more elli- font duty in the peuding potion! campaign Aad Fathor Nitobio, after the lobors ot halt a contary, ag tho conductor of on organ, resires 40 the eaades of pore life to the tune of chinking dollars, to on- iven him in hie declining days; whiie A. Boyd Hamilton hus been awarda ts wie woustary comfort, in consideration of giving up his contract, that General Lobert Armstrong uay rep (ae profits of the Congrestiounl printing ; wt Joua O Loves, and even his reporters, have add!s orally been feasted on tho government bounty. Thus democrats have becn woll provided for; avd, we presume, ifthe conductors of the Southern Press hud bad a litte more credit, and contuued the publication of thoir country-looking sheet a while longer, a fat job would have been thrown iuto iss way, to sustain life until it could have died a decent dowh. But, not only were favorirs printers sapplied with Bn extraordinary portion of pp from tke treasury, which ie ruaunibg over wito etzhtesa millions of dollars, the govornment emplosecs ia tho logisin~ live and exocutive departments had, in gross, up- wards of five hundred thousand dollars added to their unitod saleries for the current year. The workingmen engaged in the publis works, however, wore excluded from too liovrat provisions probxbly because they do not stimulate Congressional libo- rolity by doses of bad brandy, aud because they do not whine and importuue for more pay around the Aobbics'and drinking-houses in the city. 1 do not quake this charge aguinst the clerks; but it sooms atrange that bat few honorable geationen thought that the price of marketing is high to all alike, and that the working man’s buskes is not filled ot a cheaper rate than that of tue clerk, unless it be with the grossor kinds of aliment, Mr. Mangum having, on a recent occasion, alluded to Br. Webster, as having besa guilty of waworth and paltry tricks, besause be sulected those anti- Scott papers. the 1Vidmingion (NC), Commer. cial, and the Knoxville Wig, so ve the publishers of the laws of the United States, Me Webster defends himsolfin a oard this morning, expressing a hope, in conclusion, that, under the cireumstances, he may be pardoned ‘for this intrasiou on the public,’ so unusual with him, to defeud his * official condact Yrom mere raudom vituperation.” Thie case reminds us of the generally understood Sact, that Mr. Webster is preparing aa addross, which will shortly be published, oa the subject of the Presidency, in which he qill, (reluctantly, of course,) cave in to the sapport of General Scott. It will be a bitter pill for hia to swatlow, having an aversion to ‘‘mere military chieftains,” when he eonsiders his own intellesmal might. Bat the failure to receive the nomisation of tho whig coa- vention cannot now be cured, aud, therefore, 1% bo- comes the part of wisdom for biw to yield with “Christian fortitude and resignation,” ia view of the ‘* fixod fact,” with the resolutions anaexed, of that late distinguished corps of eag neers ated a protracted and unnecossary debate on the re- A Postmactem wt Tnovece.—The postmaster at West solutions, in reply to what is termed the speech from | Killingly, Comm., bas boea arrested and held to bal by the “throne,” in which thero was really no peg on which to bang an objection; and even had there been, all oppesition would have been fruitless, the government huving a large and very determined wojority in its favor. Before | commence any account of its proceedings £0 far as they are generally interesting, 1 must be permitted to devote a brief space to the mauner in which travellers are treated by tho railroud cem- pany, which professes to deliver passongers at Mont- yen] on (be ovening of the day on whigh they loave Boston, or subsequent to that on which they are de- spatched trom New York; aud which should be uni- vereally known. , When I left Boston, it was with the undoratand- ing that 1 was to proceed by lund to Rousse’s Point, where the line connocts with that to Montreal, for which purpose I took a ** through tioket,” und re- ceived cheques for my luggage; bat on the route D cizcovered | was to take boat at Burlington for Rousse’s Point; on reaching which place, however, we found xo boat in waiting, she having been de- taincd, as it subsequently sppoared, owing to tho cus having run off the track between New York and Troy. After remaining on the wharf upwards of an hour, I accidentally discovercd that the passeagors for Montreal had been sent on by the laud rouco— at leart thoee who were so fortunate as to hear the notification, Not being among that foriunae number, with anothor, 1 was cousequently loft be- bing; and to mend tho matter discovered that the checke ] had received for my baggage would not pass it beyond Burlington. it wae impossible to discover from the railroad people why it was that passengers had to take bout it burlington. and it was not till I rosohed the Vearl Street House, at somo distanve from the land- ing, that Ttouna out that there is a dispute pro- greesing betweon the compauy which had turnished moe with tickets and the Vermont Central Roilroad Compuoy: and as the latter baud to be paid for ali passengers sent on by that route, it was easy to ac count jor my not having the notification, Which £ wos informed had been made at the whart. y this time it was past six o’clook ia the after- noon, witha prospect of remaining till three on the following morning, and then taking a boat cutled the Whiteuall, which was desombed as no botter than she ought to be. At this jaucture, it wasas- cortained that the boat wae as the landing, aad al- though there was but little chance of my reashing it in time, yet the porsonin charge of thy house promptly harnessed a very fine horse, and by pro- ceeding at full gallop, I sheceeded in getting on board ing to watch my luggage the remainder of the distance. We reached Rousse’s Point about ten o'clook ie up at a very excellent house, called the § House, at the place of landing, and the next i ing, at hulf past cight, started for Montreal, hav- ing waited some time for the Burlington boat, which, however, did not make her zppewrance; eo that her paseengere would have to remaia over till tho afternoon, of whom I ould havo been one, had it not been for the kindness of the people at the Pearl Street House, and which, from what I saw of it, I would recommend to strangers visiting Barling ton. The fast is, persons leaving New York for Lowor Conoda will find it the preferable course to take tho lem or Hudson River route to Albany, aad tho raihoad thence to Whitehall, where they will meet a stcamer ready to convey them to Rosse’s Point At all events, if they take tho land route, whother proceeding from New York or Boston, they sh ¢ careful to take the Vermont Central Railroad lino, avoiding the Rutland snd Steamboat lino, particu- larly at this season of the year.

THE LATE HON. JUDG! SANDFORD. Tho Mayor here entered, and haviog taken the chair, the Recorder took his seat at the vourd. Alderman Oscan W. Srunrevant exid—Mr, Mayor, it is with feolings of sorrowful regret that I nise to offer a resolution which I hold in my band, for acoption by this Board. It is, sir, a resolation directing the Comptroller to pay the widow of the late Judge Sandford the salary which her distia- guished Husband would have been eatitled to, had it pleused Almighty God to lave spared his valua- ble life. Jt is a resolution that needs no remarks from me. The character of Judge Sandford and the Gistinguished services be rendered to our city in tho various judicial stations he was honored with, are known to every member of this Bourd, and his fame as # jurist is epread far beyond the limits of our ex. tonsive country. His decisions and able opinions have been quoted inthe highest jadicial tribunals in England; he was not only an ‘ornument to the bench, but an honor to our city. Wiih these few remarks, I move the adoption of the following reso- unong :— d, That the city of New York has sustained a great aud irreparable loss in the desth of t Jon. Lewis IL. Sandford, who, in all the excellent qualities of a great judge, etood preeminent, adorning tho bench by his leerning, his intetlectoal clearness and powcr, his labor, research, real. and stainless labor, Resolved, That the salary, as Judge of the Superior Court of this city, to which Judge Sandford would have been entitled ving, fur the balance of the earrent yeor ending én the Sist of Decomber next, left vacant by Uhis melancholy event, be paid to his w dow, The Reconpen, in rising to second the resolutions, said he could not allow them to pass without a few words in relation to the distinguished individual referred to.
