He died at his residence, in New Orleans, on
the 18th inst, in the 37th year of his age.
Among his many 81 virtues of husband
father and friend, lid distinguished for his
love of Masonry; and it was but recently that

There IS scarcely a report that has been
made to Congress, by the present headsof the
Treasury Department, that has not been erro.
neous and deceptive. It. hard TO understand
how he could have made blunders so obvious
and Of such startling magnitude. His expen-
diture last year, exceeded his estimate $l3,-
100000, and in his last annual report to the
present Congress, he has made an acknowledge
cd error of S6,O00,000, The whole of this elab-
crate report was recently dissected by the
tlon. A. Stewart, showing it to be one. tissue
of mistakes and mis-statements, Of the most
obvious kind. The latest error was in the re-
cent loan, for which he advertised for bids TO
tho extent $5,00O,000, but accepted them for
100000 lhinkinghe had undpr.estimated the
amount required one million, instead Of which
on investigation, he found he had originally
oUer-estmeted them 81 100000, having already
borrowed this latter sum but the amountboing,
we suppose, so trifing had been forgotten, We
always thought the Treasury kept regular
books, where even such a triftug loan as ST.
100000 ought TO have been recorded. The
Washington correspondent Of the Bee thus
writes on the subject.
"Another blUnder Of the Treasury has beer
recently detected, which goes to confirm thu
general conviction, that no reliance is to b.
reposed in the statements made by the heat
OF that department. Mr.. Walker advertised
for bids for a loan Of five millions Of Treas
ury Notes, and proposals to that extent wer;
accepted. After the apportionment cOmmenc
! ed, it was discovered that a million and a hal
OF dollars, had been borrowed by the Treasury
I Of which no account had beentaken and whicI
!, reduced the loan to three and a half millions
instead Of five. This subject has been under
!, going the investigation OF the Committee o
Ways and Means, but, thus far, without an
a satisfactory result. Mr.. Mckay, the forme
chairman, who represents the administratio
: on that Committee, and who is the acknowl
edgedleader Of the party in the house, decline
when first INTERCEPTED, TO offer any ~explana
r ton, But when a resolution Of inouiry wa
n signiied, he condescended to say, that the de
& paitment had borrowed a million and a hal
Of Alabama, which it had "forgottenn t
charge. This system Of obliviousness, an
!, this method Of disappearing the conditio
y Of the Treasury, has been practiced to a dis
n graceful extent, ever since Mr.. Walker en-
Q tered the walls Of the Treasury, His report

France.

In our summary of Foreign news, yesterday,
no mention was made OF the grand focus of rev.
oution, IN belle France. The Intelligence
brought by the iIiberna was of but four days
later date than that received by the Washing
ton and though this space, as matters are now
managed in Europe, is ample for the most fun
damental changes and revolutions in the gravest
concerns of politics, yet, as might ordinarily be
expected, 10 remarkable alterations had occur
red in France. The elections of the members
of the grand Constitutional Assembly were APP
preaching, and preparations FOR them were in
active progress throughout the Republic They
occurred last Sunday. and upon their results
nacter of the Assembly which is to form Il Rcpub
iican Constitution for the French people, will
of course, foreshadow the character of that Con.
stituton-whether it shall be conservative OF
radical-Jacobn or Girondist-likcly to lead to
well-reguated Liberty or to the worst of all gov
ernments, an oligarcbical Dcspotsm.
We confess that. with Us, fears and hopes are
pretty eGutaby balanced. The public mind in
France. the most eilcrvescent of all public
minds, is yet in a complete iermcnt of excite
ment. The astounding events that have oc-
Cured, completely altering political and social
relations, and naturally filling the heads Of the
uninformcd and the unrelecting Ga mon~trous
class with visions of liberty, equality. and aug
mentcd prosperity that are as incoagruous and
ill-deined as riSionS usually are, and that cooler
calcu.ators never expect To see realized, are moi
favorable to the development OF that Judgment
and sagacity that are called for both, in the eX-
ercise of the electoral franchise. and in the per
Torrance OF the mighty work of framing con,ti
tutions.
