Mr.. Preston S. Brooks Of South Carolina died
At Washington at o'clock last evening. His
disease was in the throat, resulting in Group; and
hewas attacked with il only on Saturday last. lie
leaves behind him, with the world in general,
most unenyiabe reputation, on which we need not
here enlarge.
It is perhaps proper now to say with regard 70
the act which will be connected with the memory
Of this person az long as it shall i've that We do not
suppose it to have been undertaken by him spon'
taneously, and Of his own mere motion. We have
the impression that it was determined upon at
meeting of the South Carolina delegation in Con-
gress and that Brooks was but the tool to execute
the will of his colleagues. To that infamous office
be lent himself voluntarily, it is true but not till it
had been decided that some one of the Congre'-
sional Representatives Of that State must perform
il. Brooks came forward then, as the member
from the District in which Mr.. Butler resided, to
discharge tie function Of ruaian, and in case OF
need. of an assassin. He has his reward IN the
Judgment which men of honor and unprejudiced In
tegence pass upon his act, but it can never be for
gotten by the impartial historian that he undertook
it in compliance with the nearly unanimous decision
of the whole South Carolina delegation in Congress,
and that after it was done he was sa'uted by the
enthusiastic applause of the people of that State as
their noble.t champion whom they could not enough
admire and honor. As for Brooks himself, then,
now that be has gone to the grave, we imagine that
the worlds condemnation will be somewhat lifted
from him, but it will only be to rest with heavy
and ineHaceable blot upon the escutcheon Of his
State,

THE LATEST NEWS.
RECEIVED BY
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune.

Spec!sl Dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday JAN q, 1857.
Mr. Buchanan dropped quietly down this morn
ing, much 10 the surprise of the knowing ones. lie
came unattended, and was established at his quar-
tiers costly, while the expsotants were discussing
their prospects elsewhere. This mode Of sudden
coming to avoid the parade Of office. seekers, was
determined, and announced in this correspondence,
a month ago. He will remain here fortnight,
confer freely and then return to complete so much Of
his programme as is not yet determined, for,
notwithstanding the statements to the contrary,
some points have been settled and some men desig-
mated.
The impression in diplomatic circles from the last
foreign letters is that Lord Napier will so time his
departure from England as to reach here about the
period of the inauguration and thus be presented
to the new Administration. Six weeks are usually
allowed for preparation,
Mr.. Wendell, Hugh Tyler snd others, supposed
to have been in combination for the public printing,
were before the Investigating Committee to-day,
but did not sbed much light on the inquiry.
A proposition was discussed in the House, and
laid aside temporarily, putting the control OF its
own contingent fuId under the Committee Of As-
counts, and virtually regulating the censorship
which Mr.. Whttlesey has attempted to establish
recently. This subject has excited much feeling in
Congress, and strong disposition exists to empha-
sise the resentment. Mr. Cobb gave Mr.. White
.ey heavy broadside, which was significant, COM
ing az it did from the prospective Secretary Of 1he
Treasury.
Mr.. Campbell reported his substitute for Tariff
hin to-day. II embraces six schedules, Of 50, 30,
% and 10 per cent, and free list. The material
char Qes are in reductions of brandy and spirits
from 100 to so per cent; and tie new 10 per cent
schedule, enumerating the articles mentioned in
,e,terdsys dispatch, and the extension Of the free
LIST. Taking the basis Of imports Of brandes end
srt:ces now rated at 10 per cent, for the past
fiscal year, and applying their proposed change as
,ganst existing duties, there would be reduction
of about 81, 500, 600. Tie increased free list and
the chsDges on other schedules SUN up directly
about s., COO,000 more. 1t is no. believed tha' this
bill can pass tie House, and no such expectation Is
entertained by the Committee The pracseal
effect may be to prevent any action this session,
which would be better II sn imperfect legislation.
The House having refused to take up Mr. Lane
bill, providing nearly million dollars for ladian
wars in Oregon and Washington Territories for
the reason that the Commission appointed to inVes-
t;aate the claims have sOt reported, movement
was made in the Senate to hitch the appropriation
on the Indian bill. Mr. John Eel raked tie whole
policy pursued toward the Indians very sfectualy
showing that wars had been incied ~ designing
partie. to promote personal inttrests-

Mr.. CAMPBELL Ohio from the Committee o.
Ways and Means, reported an amended Tariff bill
perfecting the former one for as majority OF The
Committee ore concerned. lie states that II reduces
The annual revenue sli 600 600.
The House discussed the bill giving to each branch
of Congress the Ell tire control of its contingent fund.-
without the revision Of the Accounting Officers Of tho
Treasury.
Mr.. JONES Of Tennessee saw no necessity Tor sucb
a law, conceiving il would be unc institutional.
Mr.. COBB OF Georgia said the House was not sunk
40 low az 10 refuse TO review the action OF the Frs
Controller who had undertaken to lecture the louse,
not only for increasing salaries OF then Officers, ba
their own.
Mr.. JONES inquired whether Mr. Cobb ever hears
of any care where the Controller refused to allow tns
vouchers of the Clerk Of this House when certied ~
the Committee of Accounts
Mr. COBB replied that If the Controller never 20
refused the evidence is conclusive that the Commse
of Accounts have discharged their duties even ID ths
satisfaction of the Controller Laughter.
The further consideration OF the bill was psspcnss
till to morrow.
The Senate Submarine Telegraph bill was referred 70
the Committee on Ways and Means.

Mayor Wood is receiving no little praise Tor the
rare virtue implied in recent c'muunicaaon
sent by hin to the Board OF Council men, declining
sn increase Of salary aud hoping that the present
Board would not follow the example Of their prede
ce.ssrs in adding to the already enormous taxes Of
the city. The peculiar irony Of the latter recon-
merdation is readily appreciated when the reader
remembers that the Board had jus. added eigh.
hundred thousand dollars 10 the Tax levy, very
large share being at the express solicitation Of toe
Msyor. As to his disinterested motives in decln-
ing before it va. ofiered) an iBere.se of salary
for bimsef or clerks in his ONCE, we think the
document published in saCta5r part Of this paper
will reasonably explain his sudden spasm of virtue

thy ia uDquestionably nuisance to be abated as
speedily az posible but that ito intrinsic value is
anything ike 20 per cent less than its nominal valu-
ation we do net believe. 1t seems hardly equitable
that the Government after having neglected it's duty
of supplying the country with plentiful and uniform
currency, and after having cOuutenanced at least,
il not legsljzed, The circulation of Spanish coin,
should now shirk all responsibility, and, what is
worse, create a panic by which good many poor
people will be swinded out Of very considerable
sums. Following the hint given by Congress, some
of the largest receivers of small coin in this city
have already commenced the reduction, taking 64-
cent pieces at cents; l2i cents at 10 cents. Some
of these still continue to receive quarters at the old
count " % cents and others have already reduced
them 10 the value of two dmes. This opens field
for small populations against which people should
be warned. OF course, every sharper will endeavor
TO crowd of all the coins on hand upon the uuwAry
az their old and familiar value, and then ne will
take in Others at the reduced rate aud pay them
olt at 20 per cent profit and finally the loss will fall
upon women and children and that class who work
most and read least. Now, this is chea. aud
deception unworthy Of any government, and espe-
cially Of the Government of the United States.
There was another course which might have been
pursued, and which il is not too late TO pursue.
The reduction might have been made prospective;
receivers might have been authorized 10 take these
coins at their former value and send them to the
Mint to be recoined. In this way the loss, what
ever It might be- would fall where it ought to fall
upon the whole people, and not upon class.
The idea Of the depreciation OF Spanish coin is
yery much exaggerated. There is a constant de-
mand for it for the South American and Cuban
trade, ard some houses are now buying il d. par,
and quarter. are purchased very freely at % cens
Rather than submit TO d "shaye," We should GER
taiay advise people to take li::e trouble and
carry their smooth siIpences aud shlulng' 70 tne
best market. It has been suggested that tins CON
might he bought at the Mint by weight, at Its real
value: that Government should offer TO buy /; up
for certain period, and take some little pains to
let the ueople know tina. it is thus ready. In SIX
months if such policy was steadily pursued, we
honestly believe tina. all this nuisance OF sxpences
and shliDgs would disappear from general CRED
