\\’hen I fir~t enterctl it, I thought I never saw a
finer set of heads than the forty-six before my
eyes-—two only beiugabscnt, atitl the Union then

countenance first fixed my attention; the
splendid eye, the straight forehead. surtnountctl
by a l0:l(l of stiff. upright, dark hair; the stern
brow; the inflexible moutlt—it is one of the
most remarkable heads in the country. Ntxl
him sat ltis colleague, Mr. Preston. in a singular
contrast—stout in person, w-ith a round. rutltly,
good humored face, large blue eyes. autl a wig.
orange to day, brown yesterday. antl golden to-
morrow. Opposite sat the transcentlcnt VVeb-
sler. with his sqtiare forehead atttl cavernous
eyes; and behind him the homely Clay. with
the face and figure of a farmer. but something
of the air ofa divine. from his hair being coinbt-d
back frotn his tetnples. Near them sat Southard
and Porter; the former astute autl rapid in
Cttllnt-'-Etlunce and gesture; ihu latter strangely
mingling a boyish fun antl lightness of in:-inner
and glance. with the sobriety suitable to the
judge atitl the senator. His keen eye takes in

ligiotts gravity of Frelingliuysen; the gentle-
manly air of Buchanan ; the shrewdness of

striking; and for nothing more than tltcir total

The C‘/zit;/"Justice ofthe United Slates.-\Vith
Judge Story came the man to whom he looked
up with feelings little short of adoration; the
the aged Chief Justice Marshall. There was
almost too iniiclt tnutiial respect in our first
meeting; we knew something of his intlividuat
merits atid services; antl he maintained through
life. and carried to his grave, a reverence for
woman as rare in its kiitd as in its tlegree. It

grounded upon an extensive lt'fl()\\’l€(l;_7e of the

not only the love and pity which their offices and
position _con-imaud. aul the awe ofphrhy which
they ‘excite rn the mitiils of the pure, but a steady
conviction of their intellectual equality with men;
and with this, a deep sense of their social in-
juries. Throughout life he so invariably sits-
tained their cause. that no indulgent libertine
dared to {latter and humor; no sceptic, secure, in
the possession of power, dared to scoff 3, [he
claims of women. in the presence of Marshall.
WhO:lllatl8 clear siglitetl by his purity, knew the
sex far better than either. How delighted vie
were to see Judge Story bring in the tall, tria-
jesttc bright-eyed old man .'~old by chronology,
by the lines on lllS composed face. and by his
services to the repttbltc; but so dignified. so
fresh, 50. present to the ttrne, that no feelitig of

The city is filled with rumors, respecting the
(fll€in._S_7_8S in the Cabinet. They have been cir-
culatctl tnore or less during the whole winter;
but within a few days they have become more
rife. I place no confidence in any of them:
bttt I cannot refrain from noticing one.
with the reasons aSSl,'1llPtl for thet-ontcmplaletl
changes. It would exhibit such a Ct)l|lp()utItl or
mixture of profligacy with the ridiculous, that I
know not which would be the tnost predominant
ingredient. It is said that Mr. Kendall is to
resign. as Post::1astcr General antl to step into
the T.e."isury Departirtcnt. And why? Be‘-
cause the 71tZUglIl_7/ Supreme Cotirt have decitled
that he shall. in the tlischarge of ltisofficial duty,
obey the law of the laritl. Mr. Kendall's feel-
ings are said to be so refined and so tlelicate. that
he cannot consent to be compelled to subtnit to
the law arid the decisions oftlic-Jtitlicial tribunals
of the country. and therefore he is to resigii to
avoid the mortifioatitm ofcompulsorysnbrnission.
Btit will his resignation purge him of the con-
tempt he has alreatly conimittetl? Certainly
not. antl there lies the folly. But ifit would. is it
to be believed. that the President of the United
States would reward hitn for his t.-outumacy?
I say, no—I do not believe a wortl ofthe rttmor.
But ifhe did. it would evince a degree ofprofli-
gacy with which I should never charge Mr. Van
Bur en without proof positive.

In my letter of yesterday. I spoke of the
rutnor that Mr. Kendall was to flee frotn the
mortifying position of being compelled to submit
to the decision ofthe Supreme Court, by resign-
ing his present otlice. You may recollect that
sotne time since. one ofthe eastern Loco Foco
papers said—" The Supreme Court at VVashiug-
ton has decided the ntantlamus case against the
l’osttnaster_ General. we s/ioultl like lo lcnou; how
it will cnfcrcc its a’ecision..” Now I will gratify
this gentleinan. The Stiprcme Court have
ordered hack the case to the Circuit Court of this
District. to enfhrce its own decision. Durin ;the

unavailing, and that the insolcnce of office iti-
creased in the same ratio that they evinced for-
bearance. they deterniiuetl to apply to the Court
to enforce obedience to its mandate; according-
ly, on Tliurstlay last, Mr. Cox as counsel for
against Autos Kendall. The writ is made re-
turnable on 'FtIۤtl';l_V next. The friends of the
Postmasttr General have talked loud and hois-
terous. and like the Boston Post.enqnired——" Ifow
will the Court enforce its rlcrrision .7" The un-
swer is at hand—-by making Mr. Kendall peep
through the prison gates, ifhe does not obey the
decree ofthe Court and pay the tnoney. \Vill
he obey? Yes; on his hands antl knees, if re-
quired of him. Oti Tuestlay next. my word for

WASHINTON, 2d April, 1838.
This morning, immediately after the meeting
of the House the death of the Hon. Isaac Me
Kim was announced ; whereupon, after passing
the usual resolutions, it adjourned until to-mor-
row, then to attend the funeral of the deceased.
In Senate, sundry bills which were upon the
desk of the Vice Presitlcut were disposed of;
and then the Hon. Mr Grundy. of Tennessee,
announced the death of Mr .McKim, and
amoved the accustomed resolutious,|which were
unanimously adopted, and then the Senate ad-
jt)Ul’l’lt d.
The body of the deceased will be retnovcd to
Congress IIall to-morroiv morninur. The fu-
neral ceremonies will be performed, and close
with the Officers and merrtbers ofthe two Houses
accompatiyittgit to the rail road cars. which are
to convey it‘to Baltimore for interment. It is
probable therefore, that no business will be
transacted by Congress.
To morrow is the day when Amos Kendall
Postmaster General of the United States , is to
answer before the Circuit Court: of this district,
for contnmacy, in knowingly and wilfuly viola-
ting a law of theland, and audaciously presu-
ming to disobey a mandate of the Court. For
courage and boarding the Court, while, in n
dignified manner, it was pursuing the even ten-

and the well cstablislied its-ages of our judicial

the authority of the Court must be kternly ex-

I'V‘trs/Linglon, A pril 3.
This morning, as I informed you yesterdav I
would, I attended the Circuit Court to hearihe
return on the writ of attachment. in the case of
Stockton 65 Stokes. vs. Amos Kendall. On
opetiingihe Court. it appeared that the Marshall,
who had the return. had gone to attend the
funeral of the late Mr. Mt-Kim. In the mean
time. the auditory were on the qui cive, asit was
understood that the Marshall had preparetl. in
ample order. a room in the prison. for the special
accommotlattoir of Mr. Kendall. Tlte room
selected. and cleansed was the room fbrmerly
occupied by Mr. Lawrence. wh_o in a fit of ile-
rangemertt had attempted to destroy the life of
“ the greatest and the best."
At length the Marshall appeared. and put an
end to all the anticipated sport ofthe boys. Mr.
Kendall returned, as I had no dottht he would,
that the amount oftlte award. about forty thous-
and dollars was carried to the oreditof the claim-
ants. But the counsel of M r. Stokes, antl I sus-
p1ect Stokes himself. seemed to have some Loco-
l' oco notions. They did not like the "credit sys-
tem_.” and therefore traveled, off to the Post
03108 Department to ascertain whether they
could not transfer this credit into the breeches
pocket ofthe claimants. which I understand they
Stockton antl Stokes. moved for an attachment,
‘received a warrant for the amounrof the award
without interest. but they mean to contend for
the interest also, having first secured the princi-
pal. Thus has terminated all the blusteriug of
the Postmaster General. after running the Go-
vernment iu costsand counsel fees to an expense
of between five hundred and a thousand dollars.

VVASHINGTON. April 4 1838.
The Hon. J. R. Poinsetl, Secretary of War,
is dangerously ill. Yestertlay afternoon strong
apprelit.-nsions were entertained. that he would
not survive through the night. But to day, he
is much better, althogli vet in it very precarious
situation. The death of Mr. Pains?‘-t‘. would
create it vacuuniiu the Cabinet: which the Presi
dent could not readily supply, from the ranks of
his political friends. Mr. Poinsett is it gentle-
men of bland and courteous manners; of an,
acute and discritnntirg inintl : energetic and prr-
scveriug. He is by far. the most able, as well
as the must admit of Mr. Van Burcn’s Coti-
stitutional advisers‘.
In Circtti‘. Court, this morning, Mr. Cox.
moved to quash the return of Amos Kendill. as.
incomplete; lsecaitse the amount paid the claim-
ants was not the full sum due to theut, it being
only the principle withoutgthe interest ; and be-
cause the return itscif. was disrespectful to the
Court, ivastnuch as the Post: Master General
pcrsistetl, after the Court had decided otlierwise.
that he was not responsible for the payment of
the money, without a report from the auditor.—
The Court have taken the motion into consid-
eration and will decide hcrcuftcr.
The Senate has been occupied much of this
day on private bills, after which they took up
the dttrllingltuv, and made some [)rngr6'SSLl1el'B-
on. Mr Preston spoke at coitsiderable lengtl‘-.
and with force, against certain provisios of tltc
bill. It is probable that a law will bcpassctl on
the subject; but it will be such a. law as will re-
main dc.:d on the statute book. There is, evi-
dently, a reaction in public opinion; not in fat-
vor of duclling, but against manufacturing pub-
lic opinion. for political effect.
In the House, after the journals were read,
the rule was suspended by at vote of aycs 110,
noes 29, to enable a member to offera resolution.
that the House hereafter meet at eleven instead

tion was then offered and carried : so that the

become useless. In short, it is an excellent
foundation, upon which may be erected a com-
plete and cfiicicnt system of reform, in regard
to the police and the contingent expcnccs of
the House; and for this praisewsrthy coin-
mcticcmciit of the good work, the people are
jmainly indebted to the industry and persever-
fttnce of the Hon. VV. Cost Johnson, ti Repre-
