DEAR SIR. | have to acknowledge the receipt of
yours of March 4, and to express you the delight
with which found the just dis nteres ted and honora
ble point of view which you the proposition it
covered The resolution you properly approved had
long been formed in my mind. The public will never
is made the ground oil merit alone, uninfuenced
by family views; nor they see with approba-
ton offices the disposal OF which they nrus to their
Presidents for public urposes, divided out as family
property. Mr.. Adams de graded himself infinite y by
his conduct this subject, Washington had done
p es to proceed by should be doubly inexcusabIe
to It is that this places the relations of the
President in a situation than if he
stranger, but the public good, which not be efec
ted it its conf euce be lost requires this sacrifice.
Perhaps, too, it is compensated by sharing in the
public esteem with which this transaction fills me for
you. Accept my sffactionate expression of 1T,

ParSon BROW low at Washiu q


called on Parson Brownlow. of the United States
Senate, on last Sunday. He had the most emarkable
OF scriptural palsy that ever saw. He boards
at the celebrated boarding house of Mrs Carter on
Capital Hill, and when l waited him l found him
lying on his back upon a lounge, his hsnds moving
in the slow stless way of one who fingers the cover
let's and babbles of the green fields. Helpless OF
hands; pitiful reaching out for perch, for rest for
support, this was the mans movements but in his fix
ed, concentrated face, without twtch or tremor,
IN IT. there lay the steady purpose OF Wl that never
wavered. The face all rock, the hands were Ill
crab. White they were and thin, and between his
forehead and his knee they futtered like pair of
weary gus betw cen coast and But out of his
pale face, notnoble in its proportions, not high, nor
Intellectual nor large in its bengnitieshis two calm
eyes looked like search warrant, and his smile
easy as a kings pinched face it was; short bony,
with Indian CHI eeks, and the hairs were young and
smooth His mouth was shut SO close that the CHEEKS
him his and in law, dutiful and lespect-
full the former nheritor of his newspaper chair and
like the old man in many things. Brownlow walks
to the Senate every day, and takes his place with
powerful pride. Vanity is his immortal motive.
His ability is like that Of William the Norman-Ter
rible long, unrelent;ng. His Government in Tennes
see has been oriental in its absoutsm yet in its
suits extr aordnary The State is calm, the flag is
upheld there weaknesses in the law for super
fetal sibseryients to slip through. The old de-
creed his Constitution, formed it after the fashion of
a blacksmith vice, and had 1t enacted by compul-
sorry quorum Those vote whom he declares citizens
no more. The South has it revealed to them that
out of the North came the trampers OF their bro
ken spirit, bu Zone of their civilization. An
cient stakeholder and defender OF the Divine right
of masters he who gives them 10 make bricks with
out and the burushes for the chiidrens era
die q Esatf
In many cases Brownlow is generous enemy and
friend. No conventional estimate can measure him.
The being Of a crime and time, he approaches the
ideal Indian Of Cooper ard Parkman, and retorts upon
his enemies the consequences they apprehended for
their treason. He is poor having given away what
his fr ads needed OR would ask for. I'm told
that One-half ofiie profits of his magnificent trium-
pl,al trip Of 1861, between East Tennessee and New
England demanded by General Samuel F. Cary,
OF Cincinnati, in consideration of his services that
OCCASION If this is true it shows very selfish spirit.

The financial condition of the Treasury at the close
of the present fiscal year will undoubtedly be much
more favorable than anticipated. This be
stated sem-officil authority. The receipts from
Customs now promise to be the largest of any one
pear in the history OF the Government. They will
reach, without doubt, Sl9O 600 oooor sl2O coo in
excess of the estimates, and it is not impossible that
they may reach the high figure of 5000 900 ooe.
The internal revenue receipts to the present time
in excess Of s1oo, 100000. The remaining three nd
half months will cover the greater portion of tie in
tax, and the special ia which fall due May

and possibly TO $l6o,oo0,oeo This will be fully up
to Commissioner Wes's estimates for the internal
revenue, and if the latter figure is reached it will be
considerably exceeded.
