Genoa correspondence of THE TRIBUNE, pub
E,hcd to-day, gives interesting and touching
dr,a..s az the last hours of Mazzini and of the
o5-.piies of the great patriot. These accounts
convey come faint impression of the grief of
IN, people Of Italy manifested at the death
and burial of the hero and statesman.
TIL. efforts of the Spanish Cabinet to control
a.. election of Deputies to the COrtes have
br,n apparently successful. The Ministry has
secured ALMOST two-thirds of the members
tAa, far rcpxted. Twenty-seven Republicans
arc said % he elected, including the principal
l,.le~s of the party, Orense, Figuoras, Cas-
ic,lr. and ri Margall. This insures a whole
SOM. amount of criticism and opposition, but

r. -, Secretary of the Treasury has no
worth.er defense of bis policy Of boarding gold
Than tiat offered in the House of Representatives
ou saturday, the least said about it the better.
l. - urged that he has, by keeping on hand
great surplus Of coin, been able to check a
fictitious rise in gold and has facilitated return
a. specie payments 1t may be well to plead
a. $. but the fact is that the Secretary has not
rhccked speculatiOns in gold nor is he, appar
emily, any nearer resumption Of specie pay
mrnts han year ago. And there is over
t!2O.O))O0O Of gold in the Treasury.
I, i, q matter for regret that Congress will,
probably. be obliged to leave a revision of the
tx laws untouched. Our Washington dis
patches Indicate that the attempted tinkering
If The Tariff by the Senate has resulted in
sIch IN unhappy complication of affairs that
the country will, after ali, get no relief in the
matter OF internal revenue taxation this
session. A little more craftsmanship and a
Lttle less politics might have prevented the
tx N incomes, and few other such unpOpu-
lar lmpo,ts. from being kept on the statute
book any longer
Although the immediate admission of Utah
10 lie family of States is about as likely as
the immediate abolition of Utah's peculiar in
slf.tion, the Territorial Legislature has act
rally elected two United States Senators. The
Hon. ". II. Hooper, present Delegate in Con-
grrN, from Utah, and Thomas Fitch, lively
p.nt IAN from Nevada, have achieved the
honor OF representing the nascent State of
Dr4elef in the lobby of the Senate. They will

A T.ya. Grand Jury has made a formidable
