WASHINGTON, December &c.

An astonishing disclosure has been made in
the War Department. system of fraud has
been carried on in the De partment, which will
asonsh the public, although they may have lit
tie confidence in the management of p ubc af-
fairs. Gov. Cass and his associates, have it is
discovered, cheated the Government out of near
ly tro millions Of dollars. The discovery was
no; made till Monday-it became known gener-
ally, not till this morning. The War Office
and the Palace are in state Of unutterable
confusion and excitement at the disclosure
The frauds perpetrated through expenditures
on account Of the Indian service. Carey A.
Harris, late Super intendant of Indian Affairs
has been sent for by the President, with view,
to his assistance in explaining the matter
Harris answers, on account Of which he was
compelled to resign, have been lately looked
into, and they were probably the clue to the
discovery. Many officers now in the War De-
partment must have been concerned in the
frauds.-Mr. Poinsett came into office, ignoran;

Eaton and Cass, and TO his honesty the unto

to Mr.. Cass' affair. His friends saw that he
has been recalled but only for the purpose Of
aiding the Department of War in examining
the condition of the Indian service. Others
say that Gov. Cass was concerned in specula
tons, but concerned with others who begar

Cass has been peremptorily recalled. 1t now

awful discovery made on Monday. Hence thu

PREDATORY Remarks.

The Sc ect Committee, chosen by the
House o! Representatives on the l7lh and
l9;h ultmo, to investigate the defalcations
ofSamuel Swar.wout, late collector Of the
customs at the port Of New York, and Of
other officers, have devoted to the faithful

limited time allowed for the purpose by the
shorlness Of the present session ofCongress.

whole field of inquiry presented by the
resolution appointing the Committee, not be
properly lraversed to report thereon. either

Notwithstanding the disadvantages adVeried
to, cannot fail to inspire the country with
confident hope, that the high obligation
which will rest upon the successors Of the
present Congress IN the Legislature OF the
nation, to resume ard complete the great
work of investigation and reform of the
alarming condition and abuses of the Exc

which its magnitude demands.

the Committee cannot resist the CONVICTION,
that at no period in the history OF the Federal
