DEATH OF HENRY VAN PELT, ESQ, OF THE
MEMPHIS APPEAL.-The senior editor of the
Appeal, the true and noble hearted Van Pet, is
no more. He died at Memphis, after a short
illness, week ago to-day, in the fifty-fourtl
year Of his age, and in the meridian of his inilu.
ence, and moral and intellectual power.
The deceased was a native of Kentucky
where he commenced his editorial career, neary
a third of a century ago. In early life, however
he came to Tennessee, and was an editor both
in Nashville and Franklin In 184l he came to
Memphis and established the Appeal, the paper
that is now shrouded in mourning at his de-
cease. He was Democrat in the noble full
ness of his nature, and with the full purpose
and integrity of his whole heart Still, he was
kind and benevolent in his feelings towards
those who differed from him, fully sensible Of
the immutable right of freedom of opinion and
discussion which is so closely connected with re-
publican liberty.
Kind, benevolent in his disposition, and en-
dowed with the richest measure of the socia
virtues, Van Pet had the happiness to see some
if not all of his accomplished children, settled
in life, before he was called to depart from it
He came to his end Ike "a shock of corn fully
ripe"
In person, although of smaller size, he resem.

The same style of intellectual beauty, irradia
ting features flofty symmetry and noble proper
ton. Long will bis memory be revered by al
who ever had the happiness of his acquaintance
Pre-eupent among all the editors Of Ter
nessee, he was almost alone in that State, in hi:
stern uncompromising and untlincing defence o.
Southern rights, and turned his contemp.uous

compromise measures, by which Northern in

rate and admirable as bis performance is, it is not
electrical-itis not sympathetic; it Is the admi-
rable accuracy Of machinery, and we could az
soon glow with delight at the perfect play OF a
steam. engine. We were glad that the talent and
skill of the artist were so warmly appreciated by
the audience, for a universal encore drew him
sgain upon the stage, and he played some bird
MARBLES of variation, brilliantly and well.
Mr.. HAUsER is clearly very accomplished ar
tist-and an audience may be always sure of sat
isfaction although the individual will never be
kindled into enthusiasm at his performance.
The concert concluded with Strakosch's Fllrta,
ton Polka performed by the orchestra, conducted
bv the composer. We suggest to future mana
gers of Concerts to put upon the programme one
more piece than they intend to perform, by which
pardonsble subterfuge they may cheat one part oil
the audience into good manners-and enable the
other to hear the music and not the scuiiling Of
retiring feet.

Our notice of the benefit Concert of Maurice
Strakosch which took place on Saturday evening
at Tripler Hail. can only be arepetition ofpraises.
The pieces of the programme were so well adapt
ed to the peculiar powers of the artists-that the
impression was throughout Of the most pleasant
and satisfactory character. We did not reach the
hall until the commencement Of the second part,
and were sorry not to find larger audience-for
the Concert and the occasion should have filed the
room. The overture to Tampa, which opened the
second part and which is a brilliant bit Of dance
mssic, as the Germans would say, was performed
with the utmost spirit. LoRISI followed with the
tenor aria from Gioranna, which is so sweet
song and he sang it so well that it was unani.
mously encored. 1t has genuine melodiouS ten
derness that will win for ta pleasant place in our
musical memories.
Mr.. STRAKoscHs performance the Quar.ette
from PuritaHl, was another of those popular
piano triumpha which he alone knows how to
achieve. His style is so fluent, clear and crisp,
tnat the effect OF his performance is that Of a cor
ruscation or capitalization, aggregate of bright
and sparkling points. There is no starring or con-
fusion in his plsyiDg-he has subdued his instru-
ment and does with il ell that be cares to do. In
the TarenteHa which followed, his fingers rocked
and swayed over the keys with the true Neapoli
tsna5GndOR and spirit that carried US far and far
back again to the fiesta of Madonna del Arc0 and
the luxurious lap Of waters on Naples Bay. We
regret exceedingly that Mr.. Strakosch has played
80 little this winter, and that he leaves as so soon
His is the champagne Of piano-plsyiRg it fecks
Us with rainbow foam. But he follows the coun-
sci Of courteous Chesterfield, and makes his bow
after his best thing. We can assure the young
Maestro-for whom N ay our warm wishes be ia
vorable gales-that we shall not forget ia the
graceful righteousness Of Gi0raRm the genial

Correspondence OF The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Friday, Jan. IL.
Two Of the men shot during the Firemen's riot
last night, have today died of their wounds
Whether they belong to the Philadelphia Company
or to this city, did not learn This propensity to
riot on the part of Firemen, in many of the cities
should induce the passage Of some stringent NUM-
cpal provisions restricting the membership of Fire
Companies to young men Of good morals, and
quiet and peaceably disposed citizens. The oc'
currences of last evening are severely notifying
to the good people of Washington. 1t is but fair
TO state, that the companies who were visiting
the city are universally acquitted of any original
blame in the matter. The quarrel originated with
members of different companies here.
The Postage Reduction Bill passed the House
more triumphantly than was anticipated. There
is much good feeling existing in the Senate with
reference TO its sweeping reforms, and there
be but little doubt of its speedy passage in that
body.
The statements Of the correspondent Of the
Courier with reference TO Nicaraguan affairs,
do not find warranted by the information in the
possession of the State Department At least the
conclusions he draws from certain premises are
such as think are scarcely warranted. Specula
tion upon the subject is however, useless, for the
reason that it would require more elaboration
than could go into in diplomatic affairs which
are supposed 10 be secrets, and now we shall
have them in answer to the resolution OF inquiry OF
yesterdays session. There Is no ambiguity IN
the language of Mr.. CLAYTON, with reference to
British and American rule in the portion Of Cen
trail America designated in the Treaty. and the
present Government have no excuse land I'M

the foregoing, we observe that the two and
half cents is only to be paid on such Let
tiers as shall be called for. That alters the
case, and it may do to give two cents on
each letter called for. But that is a bad
rule: the Newspaper does the work any
how, and should be paid : the chance OF the
person addressed calling or not calling tor
his letter does not affect the service and
should not the compensation for it.
10. The proviso that Newspaper re-
fusing to print Lists of Letters at an arbi-
trarily established price shall in effect be
deprived of the use of the Post Office, is a
piece of wanton and foolish tyranny. We
believe the Supreme Court would pro-
nounce it unconstitutional. There is not
the least need of it; for newspapers
always did and always will be glad to print
the Lists of Letters at low prices, because
they are looked for with interest by large
class of readers. 1t would be just as wise
to enact that any man refusing the office OF
President should be taken over to the Ma
Wy Yard and shot at three hours no.
tice. We hope this ill-favored proviso
will be Topped off by the Senate. Let the
Postmaster offer the Lists of Letters to
the journal having the largest circulation
if refused by that, then to the one having
the next, and so on. He will seldom or
never have to speak twice. But better let
List go unpublished occasionally than en-
act such a tyranical proviso.
IL. We presume Sec. is all right, but
we do not very we'll understand the subject
of penny post delivery. This seems harm
less, however. We had supposed that
what is here provided for might be effected
under existing laws.
On the whole, the House bill for Post
age Reduction is a great step in the way of
Reform, and we hail its passage with salts
faction. Far better have this pass than
nothing, butt may be materially improved,
as we trust the Senate will demonstrate.
SMART.-The Legislature of Vermont,
at its last Session, passed Resolves in ia

There was no word or sentiment therein
which could be deemed exceptionable by
the most fastidious. Yet the Virginia

of Mr.. Boiling, adopted the following, by
