70 The New York Evening Post in
sists on the correctness of the report of
It's Boston correspondent about the Hulse-
man letter. The Post says:
$50 far as we have observed, the sub.
stantial part of our Boston correspondent
allegations have been fully and repeatedly
admitted by the friends of Messrs. Web
ster and Everett. We have, ourselves,
preferred to publish the facts of the case,
leaving the work of commenting and in
ferences to Others"
No one can settle this vexed question
but MIR. Everett himself. We trust he
will speak out on the subject.

PROCEEDINGS OF TO-DAY.

SENATE.-After prayer and the reading of
tho journal, few petitions were presented.
and III. 2S4) bill to establish land office on
the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, was taken
up, read three times and passed.
Mr.. Mason then moved that the Senate should
proceed to the consideration of Executive bu-
siness.
Mr.. Cass rose to introduce resolution for
inquiry on the subject of a certain railroad in
Michigan, which was read and allowed.
Mr.. Mason then renewed his motion for
going into executive session, which was agreed
to.
The Senate was thus engaged when we went
to press.
HoUsE.-To day, Mr.. Stanton, of Ky, re-
ported back a resolution directing the printing
of 10000 copies of 1t. Herndon and Gibbon' s
reports of their exploration of the Amazon
and its tributaries, amended so as to direct
the printing Of but 10000 copies, instead of
10000; which after debate, was adopted.
Mr.. Gray, of Kentucky, asked leave to offer
a resolution calling on the Postmaster General
for copies of any regulation of his department
forbidding members of the Committee on Post
Offices and Post roads from examining records
in the rooms of clerks and also requesting him
to abolish any such order which he may have
made.
Mr.. Phelps objected to the introduction of
this resolution.
Mr.. Gray, by leave, then went on to explain
that having occasion in the discharge of his
duty as member of the House Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads, he asked leave to
examine records in the room of clerk; he was
informed by the Second Assistant Postmaster
General that the regulations of the Depart
ment forbade their examination in the clerk s
room by any person whatever, not belonging
to the Department. but that if he desired 80 to
do, any record of the Department was open to
his inspection in his Second Assistant Post
master GeneraD room, and that he would send
for the clerk to bring down the record in ques-
ton for his examination
Mr.. g. added that he declined to examine it
IN that room, and addressed the Postmaster
General note requesting copies of any such
regulation that ght be in force. He had
received no reply Hence his desire to offer
his resolution. He requested Mr. Phelps to
withdraw his objection to the introduction of
his resolution.
Mr.. Phelps declined.
Mr. Gray then moved that he be excused
from further service on the Post Office Com
| mlttee; agreed to-
Mr. Odds next reported bill from the Post
once committee, modifying the existing rates
OF postage, increasing all the present rates
During the reading of this bill, our report
went to press.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intelligencer copies an article from
the Boston Courier (of April 1O,) upon
the allegation that Mr.. Everett, rather
than Mr.. Webster, was the author of the
Hulseman letter, and pronounces it au-
thoritatiye-as coming from the imme-
date friends and representatives of MIR.
W. The article in question says that
often when that gentleman S health failed,
ne was IN the habit of seeking Mr.. Ever
ett's aid in the preparation of papers, and
that in that way MIR. E. probably uni
ted IN the preparation of the document in
question. 1t further Indignantly scouts
the idea on MIR. Everett's behalf, that be
should claim the authorship of the letter.
We may add, that in Mr.. Everett's Web
ster book, that gentleman pronounces this
same Hulseman letter one of the crownine
acts of Mr.. WIS public life-the fit accom-.
paniment of two of his greatest and most
remarkable speeches. Under such cir.
cumstances, it is utterly impossible that
ne can be a party to any such claim.
The Union discusses the political rela-
tons of the Choctaw and Chickasaw
tribes with each other, and the condition
of their relations with the United States.
The leader of that paper is to prove the
identity of American pulpit politics in
1854, and in 1914. General Gonzales, of
Cuba, who has been for sometime past
IN Washington, "pitches into" the In
tetligeneer with great earnestness for cred
iting the Mutotto, semi-monthly paper,
advocating the adjustment of slavery in
Cuba, to the Cuban revolutionists now
domiciled in this country.
The Sentinel defends anti-abolition
northern members from the left-handed
compliments Of the abolition prints.
