WASHING TON NEWS AND OOBSIP.
Dkath or the Posthaste* Oswrai. ?It w
with sincere regret we announce the decease opi
Hon Aaron V. Brown. Postmarter Geaara!
which occurred at twenty minutes pa>tV o'ekwk
this morning, after a painfnl Olaes* of ?,me
ten days' duration, at hi? residance. pooler of
G and Nineteenth streets. Although this melancholy
event has been expected for several
days, its announcement ha? had the effect of ,
casting a gloom over the miuds of our citixens i
and the public functionaries residing here, to
many of whom Mr. Brown was known personally.
and by whom he was held in highest esteem.
During his illness ho has had all the I
advantages of the bc3t medical skill, and he
has borne his sufferings with composure and ,
calm resignation. His death was an eaey trai - j
sition from the present to a future stage of ex- i
istence. and almost up to the moment of its
occurrence he retained possession of hi? faculties.
The President and members of the Cabinet
were informed of the sad event as soon as possible,
and for the time being all public business
will be suspended, except such as is essential
tolbc welfare of the public interests. The
Post Office Department was closed as soon as j
convenient, in respect to the memory of the j
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 public life of jaore than ordinary
length, ho has acquitted himself of the duties
pertinent thereto with marked ability,
Mr. Brown was born on the loth of August,
IT'Jo and was, therefore, aged sixty-three
years, six months, and twenty-three days. His
birthplace was Brunswick counly. Virginia,
and bis 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 in the orfice
of Judge Trimble, at Nashville, to whom
he attributed much of those habits of industiy
and thorough research into the merits of wliat(
ever business came into his hands which so
eminently qualified him in after life for filling
public stations.
lie practised law in Tennessee a number of j
years, and for several years was in partnership j
with the late ex-President James K. Polk. He
j
was several times a member of the Tennessee
l
I Legislature, serving at different periods in both
houses, ami always acquitting himself with
such credit as to sntisfy political opponents as
well as to gratify his friends. In 1839 he was
elected to Congress, where he served continuously
until 181j. when he was electcd Governor
of Tennessee. In 1RI7 he was defeated in another
contest for Governor, as the State was
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, ho was not engaged in public life,
having refused, through delicacy of feeling, to j
accept any position under President Polk, by :
whom he was tendered various offices. The j
long personal friendship which had existed be- j
tween them, however, remained unabated up i
till the time of Mr. Polk's decease.
Since he assumed control of the Post Office
Department the whole country is aware of the i
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 hi? ef- ;
forts mainly must be attributed that vast and .
noble undertaking of establishing mail routes
through the hitherto unknown interior, and (
1 connecting thus the eastern with the extreme .
western States of the I'nion. The advantages
to arise from this service arc not yet commenced
to be felt, but it may be plainly perceived
that these routes will bccoine in a few
years the trail, as it were, for a line of settle- j
ments across the continent, and lead to the j
rapid filling up of those expansive territories
which would otherwise have lain unoccupied I
for years.
Politically. Mr. Brown belonged to the National
school. Alwnys an unflinching Dcrnol
crat. fanaticism had no charms to attract him
from the path of duty, and ho steadily and uncompromisingly
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 affability
and sincere good-heartedness. won for
him the respect and affection of all his acquaintances,
and many will deeply mourn his deI
misc. Within the sacred precincts of his
j own family, where he was enshrined as the
! object of most fervent affcction. wc will cot
intrude.
Rumors are rife as to who will succeed Mr.
Brown in the Post Offico Department, and wc
hear quite a number named in this connection, i
Among these are Hon. Cave Johnson and Hon.
Horatio King. The former has hitherto filled j
the ]>osition. and the latter is now the First |
Assistant in the Department. The exigencies !
; of the time require the services of an officer ac- ,
' quainted with the Department affairs.
RrSFECT to TUB Mkmouy ok THE late !
: FostmaktkkGkkkkae.?Onthe 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 giving
an expression of their grief at the sad intelligence
On motion of Hon. Horatio King, the Hon.
W II. Dundas was eallcd on to preside, and
i Ilcnry St. George Offutt, Esq., was chosen
Secretary.
' The following resolutions were then submitted
by Thoina? P Trott, Esq. :

at a fitting time, a copy of its proceedings to lie
transmitted to Mrs. Brown.
On motion of Mr. C. Laury. another resolution,
directing the wearing of crape by the
officers for thirty days, wa* added.
Mr. King then made some appropriate remarks,
and was followed by Messrs. J. K.
Peebles and D. Dunn.
The resolutions were then adopted, and the
meeting adjourned to meet again at such time
as would enable the officers to comply with the
second resolution.

Extra Skssios?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 respecting
it. When the exhibit of the affairs of
the Porft Office Department is completed, a consultation
of the Cabinet will be held, and if it
can be avoided, without too great detriment to

CONOR ESSIONAL.
In the Sr.vvris, to-day, the Chair laid before
the body resolutions of a public meeting of citzens
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 np 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 Claims.
Mr. Bright objected to the consideration of
the resolution at this time. He did not sec any
advantage in introducing, at this session, any
innovation to disturb worthy occupants of otherwise
vacant rooms who in no manner interfered
with the operations of the Government.
Mr. Hale replied that the private rooms of
the building were getting to be used for all
sorts of unparliamentary purjKiscd. One was
occupied by a steam doctor as a galvanic bathing
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
a re-arrangement of the private rooms of the
Senate building, and moved that the resolution
be referred to the Committee on Public Buildings
: and it was so referred.
The Senate then went into Executive session.
117" The New York Express quotes an extract
f om a letter written by a gentleman resident at
Lockhart. Hayes county, Texas. It contains the
following paragraph . We could use just half a
million of the black rascals profitably to work tomorrow.
They would be better <11 than in Africa.
and would be a great service to the world at
large, and especially to Texas. They arc a few
smuggled in occasionally. Six hundred have been
safely landed on our coast within the last few
weeks, and still more are on the way. I say, let
them come."
The Memphis Avalanche Office Burned.
An extra of the Memphis Avalanche informs us
that, after repeated attempts, the villainous incendiary
has at length succeeded in reducing that
office to ashes. It attributes the catastrophe to the
independent course which it has pursued on all
subjects?attacking its enemies and defending its
friends whenever duty required?and states that
new material of every description necessary to print

Washington Society.?A Washington letter
writer, in one of the New York |?apcrs. makes
a sensible distinction, which some of the gossiping
scribes forget, between the permanent and
transient population of Washington. lie says:
' In Washington there are two distinct sets of
people?tin- one set consists of those who are j*?rmanent
residents, irrespective of any of the public
offices; a sedate, sober, virtuous and Christian
population, a* is to 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 principle.

are caused by this latU-r class.'>

THE VOICE OF THE PULPIT.
The pulpit of New York city on Sundav vindicated
its high ottice in rebuking the new doctrine
of assassination recently exemplified at Washington.
The subject of the Sickles homicide was
discussed very generally, and it is gratifying to
learn that the tenor of the remarks uniforinlv accorded
with the views which were expressed iu
the Evening Post on the day following the outrage.
Since the tragic duel of Hamilton and
Burr, we doubt if the lieresv of murder, on the
point of honor, lias-received from the clergy a
condemnation so emphatic as was evoked rrom
them yesterday. It will l>e remembered that fifty
vears ago. the discourses of the ministers of religion
at that time, vf which the eloquent ones of
Or. Nott and l)r. Mason are remarkable examples,
banished dueling in a great degree from the
Northern States, and it seems probable that the
more brutal system of street assassination, notwithstanding
the ingenious apologies that have
been urged in its behalf, will also have to fall before
a public opinion informed and enlightened
by the press ana the pulpit.
\mong others who uttered their testimony on
tins theme yesterday was the Rev. Dr. Morgan. ?>f
St, Thomas's Church, who delivered an impressive
and eloquent denunciation of the pleas by
which it is sought to relieve the act r-f Sickles of
its murderous character He would implore mercy
for tlie criminal, but he could not unite with those
who palliated his crime. Taking for the text of
his discourse the conduct of Herod in slaving John
the Baptist to fulfil a foolish and wicked oath the
preacher illustrated the heinousiicssof committing
sin upon punctilios of honor and etiquette, taking
the ground that, exc'-pt iu self-defence, the unlawful
taking of man's life was murder, and that no
pretext could obliterate the guiltof such a usurpation
of the Divine function asserted in the passage.
" Vengeance is mine, saith the I?ord." It is hoped
that Dr. Morgan will publish a sermon so well
adapted to correct the mischievous immorality
whichitis now attempted to bring into fashion
Dr Morgan took occasion to commend, in a very
decided manner, the course of such of tlie newspaper
pre?s as had s|K>kcn in censure of the act in
question.
Dr. Osgood, of the Church of the Messiah, taking
as a text the commandment Thou shall not
kill," protested strongly against the effort made
in some quarters to dignify assassination and to
make a hero of the perpetrator. He also moralized
pertinently en the defective education and
culture of wonian; the fruits of which were so sadly
exemplified in the tragic events of the previous
Sunday.
l>r. Bellows, in tlie Church of All Souls, dwelt
with great energy and i uiprcssi veness on the deep
guilt of taking life on some pretext of houor. The
bloody affair of the previous Sunday was not specified.
but the positions taken wee eveidently snggi
sted by it. and could not but bcdircctly applied
to it by the hearer.
In his concluding discourse on the "Phases of
Life," last evening. Dr. Chapin pointedly alluded
to the late homicide as the "Washington assassination.'?X.

of h poet than his father The truth is. the verses
are not translated from the Castilian of any body,
nor are they Key 's.
One Thomas Moore. who?c name will be recognized
as that of an Irish versifier, who lived subsequent
to the Christian Era. and acquired some
note as a writer of Anacreontics, is to be credited
with the rhymes in question. That --a distinguished
niemlier of the New York bar'" should
have treasured the gem a> unique and genuine for
so many years is rather surprising, considering
the cheapness of this person. (Moore's.) works
and their commonness in every liatid
You, as a live journalist, can hardly, perhaps,
be expected to lie so posted in amatory literature
as to recognize and place, at sight, these saucy
pretenders. Eris.

Yttfhrday evening beiag the time specified for
the ?Jjaniiati#n of our Common Council elect.
n<l the induction rf the Mayor elect into office. j
thn Beard of Aldermen and niemtters elect met in
tV?chaml>er ?f the Common Council for the purpose,
the Recorder. R. Ould. Esq.. in the Chair,
and W. l-iird. Corporation Clerk. a* Secretary
Mr. Tennev offered a supplementary return of |
the election in the second (contested) precinct, j
which he aaid had been presented to the Clerk
and by him refused 1
The Chair refused to receive it from Mr Tennev, 1
explaining that he could receive it onlr from the
Corporation Clerk, the party authoring by law to
present It. He would have no right to receive .
any document, even from the iudg<-s themselves. )
Tlte Chair also refused to receive any order from
the Board of Aldermen or Council upon the subject.
The Cliair then read the return* of the several ,
precinct*, and called the members elect of the
Council to come forward and lie qualified. All '
appeared, and were duly qualified i?y having the ' <
??ath of clttcc administered to them by Justice K 1
White. I
Mr. Magruder inov?| that the convention di* j ,
solve. so as to allow the Council to organize by
choosing its officers, stating that the convention
couhl meet regain and fulfill the object of its meetinv.
This motion was opposed by Messrs Stake and
Pic krcll. and decided out ->f order by the Chair.
The object of the convention, he mid. wa> to 1
witness the administration of the oatii of office ? |
the Mayor elect, and therefore a motion to |>o*tponc
at tiiis time would be out o! order.
M r. Magrudcr apjvalid from the decision of the
Cliair.
Mr. Tcnney spoke at som length to the appeal. ]
discnsKing the contested returns from the second
precinct, and insisting upon tlx- Chair giving his
reason* why the) could not adjourn.
At this point cries of (Question !" "Qiiestii* 1
arose from all parts of the chamber, when Mr. j
Crawford appeared and notified the convention
that he was present for the purpose of being qual- I
ificd sis Mayor. I (
The Chair here remarked that there was a right j
of appeal from hia decision.
Mr Stake called for the veas and iiavs upon (lie 1
appeal from the decision of the Chair; which was
taken, and the decision of the Chair overruled
Mr. Pickrcll did not desire to vote upon the
question. The proceedingm-^rere unprecedented
Mr Magrnder was surprised at the gentleman's
refnstl, and could uot <comprehend the ground
for it
The Chair said the Convention had no power to
l>>gislat*; or to judge of the election returns, its
duty was to witness the formality of the Mayor s '
qualification for olttee.
Mr Crawford here advanced for the purpose of
lieing sworn in. ConsiderableeKcitement o>? urred
at tiie moment, which was soon quieted. and the |
members, many of whom seemed t?> l?e on the eve !
of retiring, again resumed their s<-atK.
Mr Magruder again moved tliat the joint meet- I
i?U adjourn, when Mr. Crawford arose and asked
to )>e heard. which permission wa? granted. He
then argued, at some length, the validity of his
tlectiou, aud entered a protest against the refusal
of the Convention to witics? his installation into
office,and closed by remarking that he was already
Mayor, having been sworn in by Justice White,
who was then present
Mr Magruder replied at some length in reply to
Mr. Crawford, when the vote to adjourn the joint 1
Convention was taken and carried, aud the Alder i
men repaired to their own ctiaml* r
A Iljdc. Es<] . was called to the chair, aud the j
Council proceeded to organize, which was ?o"n
done by the election of John T llanos. Esq .
president; Thos. Jewell, Esq , Secretary; and
Hugh O Divine, messenger to the two boards.
After which, by joint resolution, both boards]
agreed to adjourn to next Wednesday evening.
Before the adjournment. Mr Tciiney read the
legal opinions of John Marburv and RoWrt Onld, I
Ksqs.. upon the subject of the'contested ele? tion
and made a motion that a committee l>e appointed
to have .VKI copies of the same printed for circulation;
which was lost.
Notwithstanding there was an immense concourse
of persons in the chamber, and indeed in
almost every part of the building, all of whom
appeared to l?e more or lc?s excited, the very Inst
order was observable everywhere, notwithstanding
the exciting proceedings of the Councils
The friends of Mr Crawford, after the adjournment
of the Councils. *jot out their baby-waker.
(cannon) and occupied their time iu firing saluUs
until a late hour
The action of the Councils last night, and the
alleged error, is the only theme of discussion
which meets the ear at every point this morning
It is supposed by many that the Councils wUl,
at their nieeting on Wednesday evening, make an
examination into the ballot-box of the disputed
(second) precinct.
