Brown vs. Gresham.—The Cbicuco Inter-Ocean publishes the following Washington special: Jack Brown, of Georgia, a prominent Southern Republican, has for some years practiced before the Departments here. The other day he called upon the Postmaster General In behalf of a client. He says he was horrified upon being told by Mi .

Had Graut m any other man for whom I entertain respect manifested the same spirit I should have downed him on the spot. Northern and Southern Republicans entertain a very high opinion of each other-
