II is painful to us to have to announce to our
readers the decease Of Hon. Thomas JEFFERSON
CAMPBELL, Of Tennessee, Clerk Of the House of
Representatives of the United States. His death
took place at his lodgings in this city, about one
o'clock last Saturday morning. after illness Of
week. His remains were conveyed to the Southern
boat on Sunday, their way to his residence in the
Stale of Tennessee for interment.
MIR. CAMPBELL was Tin language which we re-
peat from the Union) "a gentleman in his princi-
pies, amiable in his temper and manners, and res
Peeted by gentlemen Of both parties" To which we
add that he was man of unimpeachable integrity.
He was Clerk Of the House of Representatives
in the last Congress well in this, and had be-
fore that been himself Member Of that body from
the district in which he lived.

The " Union of Wednesday puts sundry ques-
tons to us concerning claims which the last Adj
ministra,on took the responsibility of leaving un-
decided, and the decision of which has devolved
upon different Departments Of the Government
under the present Administration. Our own pro-
per affairs require our attention too exclusively to
allow of our becoming acquainted with the parti-
culars of claims accounts depending in the pub
lie offices in which we have no interest, nor are
likely to have any. But we are enabled to state,
for the information of the !" Union, that the seve-
raj claims cited by that print yesterday were all
left undecided by the late Administration SO far as
appears by the records of the several Departments;
the only vehicles through which their successors
could be advised of their official acts. What the
heads of the several Departments may have thought
of any or all of those claims whether they formed
opinions upon them, and, if they did, what those
opinions were, we have no means of knowing, ex-
cept in one case, namely, the Galphin claim, which
was in express terms reserved for further consider
alton on the question of interest.

returned the appointment into the hands of the
Governor.
Subsequently to this, the appointment was Offer

Contribution Of Michigan to The Washington
National Monument.-We learn from the Detroit
Free Press that the Legislature at its last session
made an appropriation for the purpose Of procsrng
block Of native copper, to be quarried out of the
mines on Lake Superior, and sent as appropriate
offering to the Washington National Monument
There will probably be no offering more singular and
beautiful than this contribution by any State in the
Union. The offering will consist Of block of ma
tive copper, three feet long, by and half feet
wide, and two feet deep polished, and bearing this
inscription From MICHIGAN: an emblem fiber

more recently Commissioner of the General Land
