QUB SPECLAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. ‘Wasuineton, Sept. 3, 1859. ‘The Republican Committee sent to the Post Office yes- ferday an immense quantity of documents, under the frank of Mr. Coyode, of Pennsylvania, one of their num_ ber, Postmaster Jones tabooed the whole lot, under tho pretence that the frank was not in Mr. Covode’s own bandwriting. Mr. Covode was on hand and acknow- Jodged the frank, but Mr, Jones still refused to send the documents. ‘Mr, Oovode thereupon appealed to Postmaster General Bolt. He was attending a meeting of the Cabinet, and First Assistant King declined to decide till after a confe- renee with kim, Subsequently the Post Office Department decided that the republican documents could not go be- Dauge gome of them were admitted to have been franked Dy a clerk: ‘Thus the responsibility is assumed of deciding between genuine franka and imitations. It is a delicate matter; ut Postmaster General Holt has norye enough to carry Mt out, ‘The republicans are greatly excited, and charge that it ‘was brought about through the influence of Governor Sib- Yey, of Minnesota, who did not wish documents on the ‘Homestead bill and Pacific Railroad, containing the record of democratic yotes on these questions in the last Con- gress, to reach the people of his State before the election. olor is given to this charge by the fact that some twenty ‘Yhousand documents under the same frank were sent off unquestioned two or three wecks ago, and this movement ‘was only made since the arrival of Sibley here. ile also wishes the land gales postponed for one year. This is Gone as a democratic measure, and is estimated to be worth three thousand votes to that party. The republicans also contend that they have proofs that Judge Douglas, Mr. Florence and others, are con- tantly franking by their clerks, and no questions asked. All they want is for the Post Office Department to decide ‘that democratic members have no more privileges of using the frank than those of the opposition. They say that they fan go before the people of Minnesota on such a decision more effectively than with documents stopped by it. In organizing the next House the anti-Lecompton and Southern opposition mien ure expected to fayor the adop- tion of the plurality rule to apply to the election of officers. In such an event all elections of doubiful members herama highly important, ‘The contest in suunesota will be more desperate than any for & long ume, as with two members from there,nd a decision of contested seats in favor of the opposition, the republicans will generally have a ma- jority by close aftendance. So we must look for all sorts ” of tricks, Wirepulling, roorbacks and intrigues on both rides, The President and Postmaster General are already threatened by the spoilsmen with impeachment, and pro- bably the whole Cabinet may be added to the list before December. One hundred and fifty millions are at stake, and perhaps the government for the next four years also; ‘and all parties are playing their best cards. ‘An interesting case is now before the Treasury Depart- ment, involving the payment of the salary of our Consul at Valparaiso, The Chilean government has withdrawn pur Consul’s exequatur, in disapprobatisn of his course during the late revolutionary proceedings. A vice consul was appointed to perform the duties wutil instructions were received from the government. The law provides that the vice consul be paid his salary by the principal, and by no other method. Both consul and vice consul- Bend accounts for payment. The State Department sus- tained the Consul’s course ; hence ho was never out of office or absont from his post. It also recognized the Vice Consul. Should a consul suffer loss of salary Dy the act of a foreign Power? Ciearlyno. How then Bhall the Vice Consul get his pay? The Comptroller can find no law by which he can be paid, as no such case has before arisen. Jt is deemed of first importance, however, to protect our representatives abroad from liability to lose salaries through caprice of foreign governments if we would haye them efficient. In this instance the Vice Con- Bul, being algo Secretary of Legation, could not legally draw pay for'both situations; so no one will suifer by the decigion In agvordance with the above view. Postmaster Cook, of Ohicago, and Collector Shoomaker, of Detroit, were both in town to-day, but will return homo almost immediately. The former says Douglas’ last mani- festo is injuring his prospects iu the West. It is contradicted to-day that the invitation to Douglas to speak in Ohio came from the State Committee. On the contrary, Douglas offered to speak, and that body refused general invitation, but permitted Sen ator Pugh to invite him to join him in speeches at Columbus on Wednesday next and at Cincinnati shortly after, It is said they fear that his speeches to the mut country places would injure the democratic cause. Nothing new has transpired to-day relative to Leslie, the alleged swindler. He awaits transit to your city. ‘The Department of State is officially imformed of the ratification by the government of Nicaragua of the Lamar- Zeledon treaty, the obnoxious clavse objected to by this goverument huving been previously expunged, The Striky on the.

Rev: Daniel Dana, D.D., died suddenly, on the 26th ult. at his residence. in Newburyport, Mass.’ He had nearly reached his 00th year, Notwithstanding this very ad- vanced age he came down stairs from his chamber alone within three weeks past to respond toacall. His habits of body as well as of mind have always been extromely active, but within a year or two past he has been some- what retired, though retaining to the last his ble powers of conversation. Dr. Dana was an admirable Bcholar of the old school of classicists and divines, an extremely elogant and forcible writer of English, and has always been one of the chief lights of the Presbyte- rian church. His affectionate di ition and nics con- scientiousness made him a most faithful and valued pas- tor, and in all the exercises of his office he was a model, as he had long been the patriarch of his denomination iu this part of the country. Few clergymen were better known—none more endeared toa very extended circle. Dr. Dana was for many years minister of the First Pres- byterian church in Newburyport, afterwards President of Dartmouth Cal and fvally a resident of his carly home, where, whiic unable to fulfil the regular duties of the ministry, he loug officiated as a home missionary , and ‘was received by multitudes as a welcome and venotated uest.

There is a Jewish society in Troy, N. Y., and in that s0- ciety there is or has been one Jewish Bible, the only one in the Daye Itis on parchment, and _m.kes a bulk about four feet long and a foot and a half high. It is a bulky Bible of the medieval style of Bibles. Tt seems to be a requirement of the Jewish discipline that every Jewish woman confined must be confiaed on or over the Jewish Bi It so happened that one night last week a Jewish re was confined. Herman Levy, a Jow tailor, set up a claim for it, swore Out a search warrant and recovered it. This operation created considerable exciting discussion among the Jews, and in one of the debates Julius Law- rence, @ son-in-law _of Levy, knocked one of the anti- Levi Jews down. Lawrence was arrested and taken to Jail. Subsequently Levy bailed him out ; but shortly after Levy himself was locked up on a charge of perjury, it being set forth by the officers of the society by affidavit that the Bible was the exclusive property of the society, hay- ing owned it for eleven years, and paid $80 for it, its origt nal cost being $1,000. Levy claims to have paid $34 for it, and to have owned it since 1858. Levy was unable to obtain his release in time to spend the Sabbath outsi de.

THE PERPORMANCE AT THE CENTRAL PARK YBSTER- DAY AFTERNOON As early in the afternoon ag two o'clock the Third aye- nue, the Sixth avenue and the Eighth avenue cars com- menced to be filled with passengers to an unusual extent, all on their way to the Central Park, and at three o’clock the cars were £0 jammed that there was no space for foot or hand on apy portion of them but the tops or roofs; and it is a great wonder that the male portion of the pasaen- gers cid not perch themselves there. However, allthe passengers were safely conyeyed te the Park on all the Toutes. From Fifth avenue the crowd poured in on the road called the “drive; from Sixth nearly as large a concourse of people thropged the ‘drive’ in that quarter; while from the junction of Eighth ayenue and Broadway an equally dense throng wended its way over another road or drive, allto the Mall,or the main promenade to the west ofthe magazine. This promenade, or Mall, as it is called, is in itself a truly beautiful object—laid out with mathematical accuracy, trees on both sides, transplanted, thriving and spreading their green leaves where a few months ago naught but rocks displayed their mose-covered surfaces. Straight gravelled walks, ro_ lieved on each side by many others winding in graceful curves, with a double row of stately trees inter- ‘vening, together with the wide expanse of green grass, and here and there jutting rocks amid the univereal foliage, renders it in iteelf, aside from the other attractions of the Park, both a relief to the overburdened artizan and mechanic, tired with the sultry heat of the workshops, and also as much to the satiated lover of pleasure, tired and suffocated with the dust and monotony of Broadway. At half past three the band struck up an overture from Beethoven—Son and Stranger.” The grounds entitled the Ramble were then densely crowded. Each walk and road leading to the stand where the musicians were loca- ted was thronged ‘The policemen had great difficulty in keeping the people from trespassing upon the newly sprouting grags. In fact, they remarked 0 our reporter, very innocently, after the buik of the concourse bad dis- persed, that the forty acres of the Ramble were not, b: apy means, large enough for the people. It would be well ines ete a wes te Sate ay preatneepicct chis newly sprouting grass, aad thik, be- fore they tread it bencath their feet, how many wo- worn, sorrowful sinners, it may gladden if it be even for a moment, and shed a ray of light or gladness by its TIPLE Rives cvicr and dewy freshuess that uever can penetrate the dirty, squalid dens of the wretched of our populace, The placards, everywhere conspicuous, “For the pre sent visiters are prohibited to tread on the grass,’’ seems to make no effect. This slight transgression of the rules laid down for the maintenance of the good order and beauty of the Park may secm to each transgressor a very trivial thing, and stil more trivial, perhaps, to notice it; but each fectprint makes its mark, and where thousands are treading iew biades can spring up and grow. The band dor the Wirection of the euterprising Har- vey Douwori, performed its part admirably. “Fackeltany, or Torch Dance,”? by Meyerbeer, was weli executed and elicited very lively applause. Mauy others of the selections were enthusiastically ap- plaudcd, and while the music was shedding its soft aud inspiring influence it would have taken a very searching eye to have detected a single sign of unhappiness in this world by scrutinizing that delighted throug. Atscven o'clock the band sipped playing, and the crowd commenced ag well as it could to wend its way to the gates. Music is delightful, and, they say, has charms wo soothe the savage breast; but to one who loves Variety, enjoys society, or studics human nature, the walk from the Ramble to the gates of the Park will be more enjoyable than the swectest strain of the best in- struments. There one meets specimens of adi classes, all nations, and of all ages, all mingling together in perfect harmony and delight. Iu truth, judging from the smiles beaming on every countenauce, we Would add, that that most obdurate of cistinctions—the distinction of caste, of social position—seomed to be entirely forgotten. Let those who among the grumbiers, that are ever to be found in opposition to any beneficial movement—be It what it may—tuke a walk on any Saturday eveving through the Rambie, and if they do net say that the Central Park is destined to be one of tho greatest blessings that prudence and fore- sight ever pled for our city, then they are beyond the influence of feeling or reason, and as among that class only fit for treason, rapine, murder, &c.; and we would ad- ‘vise them to visit the ‘fombs and contempiate its Egyptlan symmetry in dignified silence, either from the exterior or {iterior, a8 circumstances might determine. Jn tine, it ghouid be mentioned that at Jeast eight thou- sand persons visited the Park yesterday afternoon be- tween the hours of three and seven o’clock, ‘The sight iteelf was most enlivening and inspiriting— one to make an old resident of this city, or a person at all inclined to reflection aud computation, very grave; and at intervals, when the enlivening of the music and the ex- citement of the crowd were losi, settled one quite into a “brown study,” which undoubtediy stretched into many pages of the future still unsviled by events yet to be, and Giercted the mind’s eye fur beyond even the limits of the beautiful Central Park. MUSIC IN CARROLL PARK, BROOKLYN. The second concert by Shelton’s Band was given in Carroll Park yesterday afternoon before an audience of Several thousands. The ladies and children predominated curing the first hour—five o’clock—but after that large crowds of workmen, who bad just completed their daily labor, halted on their way bome to listen to the sweet Strains. The platform for the band, which on the pre- vious Saturday was placed in about the centre of the Park, was removed towards Court street, which position was found to be preferable, juasmuch as the surrounding space was not so much occupied by trees. All preseat appeared to be highly pleased with the entertainment. ‘Lhe doorsteps and windows of neighboring houses were mostly filled with spectators of the ecene.

Of steam; it then dropped down to 60 Ibs. and came up to 55 ibs.; about four o’clock I wentdown to open the furnace door, when I found what I supposed to ‘be three guages of water; the pumps were on half am hour befcre; at this time there were 66 Ibs, of steam on; I turned around to come up stairs out of the fireroom the explogion took place, which blew me up stairs into engine room; the boiler is capable Srey! 150 Ibe.; 1 have had as high a pressure on as 75 Ibs.; bad there been ‘70 ibs. on at the timo of the explosion the steam would have escaped through the safety valve; the only ws which I can account for the explosion is that the which was a locemutive one, was apt to foam so that would think water came out of the guage cocks when was nothing but foam; then the valve of the pump have been choaked up, preventing the water from into the boiler, or there might have been a flaw in the iron; my opinion at the time of the accident the beiler burned through over the fire box arch; I have been driving engines for the last and a half; the first gauge cock is above second one is three or four inches above that; lam sure there was water in the second cock; I bave run boiler without any water coming out of the second which I think was perfectly safe. Alexander Cauldwell, being duly sworn, sonqnea lows:—I reside at Newburg; Iam a_ practi Ddoil ker; I have seen the boiler that exploded, and I opinion, from the examination I have made, that tl fosion occurred from want of water; the crown Fras a bluish color, which indicates that there could not have been enovgh of water in the boiler; the water pro- bably settled down on the crown plate aud was converted into ga, which, in my opinion, caused the explosion; if the pumps were clogged while the engine was in motion it would be difficult to tell whether water passed into the. boiler or not, John L. Peak, residing at173 West Twenty-seventh street, deposed as follows:—TI um engaged in the foundry business, but am by profession an engineer; I made the drawing and superintended the structure of the boiler and engine that exploded; the boiler was run under my supe! for two years; in my opinion the accident resulted from # scarcity of water; had there been sufficient I don’t think: it could have occurred; it is very easy for a man to be de- ceived by a boiler that'foams; at the time the boiler waa constructed Mr. Roach offered a bonne of st least $80 tg the builder to have it made extra strong; was, precaution taken to guard against accidents; the boiler ‘was larger than was necessary for the size of the engine. Dut we got it made large go that we would not be required to force it; we only used about two-thirds of the grate surface; the boiler was made about three years ago. Samuel Secor, being duly sworn, deposed that he wad a boiler maker, doing business at No. 100 Washingtog street; he exumined the boiler before it went into Mr. Roach’s shop, and considered it perfectly safe to carry frem 100 to 150 pounds of steam; I haye ex- amined the boiler since the explosion, and think the accident was caused by the engiueer being de- ceived by the foam; if he had thrown open his furnaca door and thrown in some fresh coal he could easily have seen how much water he really had in the boiler; tha aveh probably Lesame cvorioatet frour tit want of water, and, unable to bear the pressure, exploded. Roach, being duly sworn, said:—I reside at ‘on street; I am general superintendant of 106 Goerck street; my father is the pro- prictor; J left the shop about half-past two o’clock yester- day; before I left I saw the evgineer in the enginé room; he vy} peared very much heated; I asked him what was the matter, when he said he had been making up a freskz fire; 1 returned to the shop a few minutes after four o'clock; I went into the office, looked at the steam guage, and saw that it indicated 45 Ibs. ; 1 then took a chair and sat down; in about five minutes afterwards the explosion took place, and I was buried in the ruins; a week agoI had the pump repaired and the plunger and stopping box thoroughly overhauled; I bad given orders to the engineer to hava the safety valve fixed for seventy pounds of steam; I havo no reason to believe that it was removed from that figure; . fifty pounds was all that was necessary to drive the en- gine; at the usual rate of speed I have always cautioned the engineer to have plenty of water in the boiler, and to See that it is heated before putting it into the boiler; I have always found the engineer sober and attentive; IF have ofteti been in the cngine room and always found me of water in the boiler; the engineer came to us ighly recommended; 1 Lave never seen the steam guage indicate more than scventy jive pounds; the engine was only from twelve to fifteen horse power; from what I know of the engineer I supposed he perfectly understood. his business, J. S. Underhill, residing at 485 Tenth streot, deposed as follows:—I am a steam engine and boiler maker; I built the boiler for Mr. Roach about three and a half years ago; I told him what J would build a first rate boiler for, when he offered me fifty dollars more to build him a good one; I told him I did not want the extra money, but would put the best workmen I iad-oy it; after it was made we tested it to Mr. Roach’s satisfaction and deliver= ed it over; I examined the boiler this morning, and found it good, with the exception of the fire box, which was blown out; I have built thousands of boilers, and never had any accident of the kind n; in my opinion the boiler explored fiom lack of water; the best engineer are liable to be mistaken when a boiler foams; is send common, especially where tubular boilers are useds there might not Lave been more than forty-five pounds Steam on, when @ sudden supply of water from thé Ves would create a rapid rie of steam, which might a pcr _ frSipectceur cis 2 jobn Roach, the proprictor of the foun deposed that he caw the engine about five minutes belece ieee Plosion took place, and then the pumps were going; tha engipe was making about forty-two revolutions per mi bute; did not look at tho steam guage; I believed the boiler to be a first rate one; came highly recommended, butI did not let him take charge of the engine until I had inquired about him myself; an intimate friend of mine, a practical engineer, save oe an excellent character, and I thereupon em- ployed bim.
