The report OF the phin Committee in to-day
The report of Disneys the majority report, condemns
beth principal and inierest-that of Burts the mi
aorty report, the interest alone. The wings have
tried 10 whitewash It AZ II rascally concern.
Tho resolutions reported by this committee are sc
vpre but the speech of Brooks has excited quite st
among the cabinet. OF course, Crawford Is not ex
pected to resign. hut with the House against him
there will probably be no appropriation for his debt
till he leaves. Meredith is implicated in the affair
1t gvon out that thy will carry the matter up tc
court before they will refund the money,
1t appears that Mr. Burt submitted the Galphn re-
port and Msssrs Breck aud Disney submitted scpa'
rate statements or arguments Mr.. Burts report
ended with three resolutions =:
Prst That the claim II The representatives. OF George
Galphin was not just demand against the nitod

tkerstope, Jackson n Il VI IN Non 'eoncurred in by
Mcssrs Conrad Brick Grinn'il and King
Second That the act of Congress made It the duty
f the Secretary OF tn" Ir"Sny TO pay the prlncpsl
Of said claim and It therefore paid in conformity
with law and precedent. The full committee concurred
Third That the act ,iorrssd did not authorize the
Secretary Of the Treasury I" :ho interest ON said
claim. and its payment "as not in conformity with
law and preceTent. Concurrd In by Messrs. Burt,
Disney, Featherstone, Jack o., and Mann Non-con-
cured In by Messrs Beck Grinnell, Conrad and
King.
The general impression il that an impeachment and
suit to back the money will be agreed upon
by tn, gIIouse. 1t looks very back.

CONTESTED ELECTION.

We received the following by 'rele-

WASHINGTON, D. G.. June 30, 1850.
Congress has sent Thompson and my.
self back TO run our election over.
will speak in Keokuk this day two
weeks. ID. F. MILLER.
By the above, it will be seen that the
Locofoco House of Representatives have
in a sneaking and cowardly spirit, at
tempted to carry out the bold rascality,
which was commenced in this Distric
by the stealing of the poll Books of the
Kanesville precinct.
Ii is clear that either Miller or Thomp.
son was elected by the voters OF this
District in August ls48. There can BIZ
no possibility of mistake as to this prop.
osilion. And it is equally certain tha
the fact was undeniable and well known
to the House of Representatives. Had
Thompson been the individual elected
he would have had decision in his ia.
vor. But Miller was the man, and sc
the election is referred back to the PEG.

Secretary OF the Treasury.

Some portion of the majority Of the
House of Representatives begin TO show
signs of shame for their attacks upon
the Heads of the Departments. On the
18th, on the motion of Mr.. Sweetzer,
who halls from some where in Ohio, a
resolution was adopted appointing Sc
lect committee TO inquire whether the
Secretary Of the Treasury has not used
or appropriated money out of the sur.
plus fund without authority of law
The committee was named, but after this
was done, motion was made for the re-
consideration of the resolution, and il
was carried. Mr.. Sweetzcr, after this
rebuke from his own party. modified his
resolution, but it was still not acceptable,
and another was offered by Mr.. Chandler,
of Philadelphia, insiructing the commit.
lee Of Ways and Means to procure and
report to the House an account of all
sums Of money which may have been
taken, if any, from this surplus fund.- ;
In this shape the amendment was agreed
to-yeas lO6, nays 0O-Mr. Jones, Of
the committee Of Ways and Means, re-
marking that they wanted nothing to do
with the subject. Before the resolution,
as amended. was disposed Of, the House
adjourned.

who like Mr.. Hem, have been very ac.
commodating-and who like him too
have been well paid for il. They. no
doubt, will claim that they ought to be
vastly popular, because while officers,
they were accommodating to the people;
that while they extended the cordial and
friendly grasp Of the hand to all, and
pra,ed loudly about their interest in the
peoples welfare, they extended the othel
hand to receiye--an extra dollar! Such
men will be popular 'swith vengeance. y
