Ad tournament Of the Senate.

The snecial session OF the L. 5. Senate, called
bv President johnson to dispose Of Executive
business. was closed on Saturday night at 9
O'Clock. There had been a hard struggle in
regard to appointments, the Radicals rejecting
A large number Of the Presidents nominations,
and among them some Ofthe most distinguished
officers Of the late war. A Washington dis
patch to the Baltimore Sun, says:
The Senate having failed to confirm all the
nominations Of the President, it now becomes
necessary for the administration to determine
how vacant offices shall be disposed Of under
the tenure Of Office law.
A number ofpost-Ofices in the various States
are vacant. and there is no authority for APP
pointing any one to take charge Of their affairs.
The law does not authorize the appointment OF
deputies. and the Offices are absolutely closed
II is understood from an authoritative source
that the nomination of Gen. ThOs. Kilby Smith
for consul 10 Havanah was not acted upon by
the Senate. This nomination arrived but ht-
teen minutes before the adjournment, and too
late for action upon the case.
The President has not decided what shall be
done with the Austrian mission, the Senate hav-
ing failed to confirm Mr. Raymond. The mat
Ter is to be disposed Of in a few days In the
meantime, the Secretary Of State has instruct
Ell Mr. Motley to deliver the official papers, and
documents, &c. to the vice-consul at Vienna
and Mr.. Motley is thereupOn to be relieved
from duty. This official order was forwarded
20 Vienna several days ago.

DEATH OF AN EMINENT MAsoN.-The Ma
sonic Fraternity have experienced great loss
in the recent death of the Rev. Brother George
Oliver. D. D., one of the most bright and shi-
ming lights Of Masonry. DR.. Oliver was one
of the most voluminous writers on subjects of
ancient and modern Masonry, and one Of the
best authorities on almost every branch Of the
Masonic art, literature and science. His wri-
tings are very numerous, and constitute, in
themselves, library. lie has been, for the
better part of a century, more universally
known in Europe and America as master and
a teacher than perhaps, any other living Ma
son. He died full of years and usefulness, very
much beloved and honored to the last.-Ohar-
