WASHINGTON. Feb. 3, 1851.
The funeral ceremonies over thu
remains Of the late Mr.. Kaufman.
in the hall of the House Of ReDre'
sentatives, to-day, were very solemn.
imposing and appropriate. The
scene presented an instructive lesson
to all present, The two houses of
Congress, the President and his Cabi.
net, Major General Scott and other
officers Of the Army. and officers of
distinction in the Navy, were there
assembled, to pay their respects to
The memory Of the dead, and to bury
all animosities Tor the time being,
and listen to the truthful admoniiion
that all Of earth must die.
Tomorrow the legislative business
OF the two houses OF Congress will
be resumed. Four more weeks only
remain Of the session. A vast
amount Of important business is yet
TO be done, or left undone.
The National Intelligeucer of this
morning contains a letter from Mr..
Commissioner Ewbank, Of the Pa
tent Office, to Mr.. Secretary Stuart,
OF the Interior Department. The
Commissioner is as hot rs pepper in
his denunciations Of Mr.. Hugh
White, New York member Of Con-
gress Of high character and standing,
and of Horace H, Day, Esq, Of New
York, and others who have preferred
charges against him, for official par
tiality and unlawful conduct, and
submitted said charges, in pamphlet
form, to the President OF the United
States.
Mr.. Hunters tariff "ixings," pas
sed by the Senate, yesterday, will
not set protection to home industry
back any, if they do not set il for
ward. A further and better plan
will be pushed hard in the House,
when the subject comes up in that
body, but with what success remains
TO be ascertained.
The Senate to-day disposed Of the
everlasting bill for the settlement Of
land titles in California, by ordering
it TO be engrossed. Mr.. Benton gave
notice that when it should come up
tomorrow morning on IFS final pas
sage, he would call for the yeas and
nays.
The Senate took up and spent
some time on the joint resolution
from the House in favor of making
the las; granted land bounty warrants
transferable. The work done on
the subject was dull and unint;res.
ting. | did not wait TO see the end
Of il.
In the House, yesterday, the New
York Branch Mint Bill, was, after
hard struggle on the part Of its
friends to save it, laid on the table
killed. II any one man killed it,
that man was the able, adroit, elo-
quent and popular Joseph R. Chan
dler--and / don't thank him for it,
for was in favor Of the passage OF
the bill.
To-day. the friends Of the bill
made another rally upon it. They
worked like heroes, and implored
like drowning men to get the bill up
from the table and once moro before
the House. But all in vain. Chan
dler and his Old Guard OF Pennsyl-
vanians brought too many guns to
bear for the Manhattanites. The
bill was dead-Past all remedy. 1t
could not be resuscitated. Old DR..
Jacob Towsend's Sarsapa-illa could
not restoreit it. This the gallant New
Workers saw, and sighed to behold,
while the Pennsylvanians wore smi-
ling faces, and gave signs that laugh
ing was going on--in their sleevesl
Some territorial business was then
taken in hand-after which, the
House adjourned.
