The Galphin cabinet got another very severe
xsawling in the House of Representatives yester-
day. They were handled without gloves, and
received a terrible esstgation from wkigs as
well as democrats, Northern men, and Southern,
Eastern and Western. That body passed, by
vote of one hundred and sixteen to sixty-six, an
amendment decidedly disappearing of, and dis
sentpg from, the opinion given by the Attorney
General, in favor of allowing the interest on the
Gslphin claim, and from the action of the Secre-
sary of the Treasury in paying it. The vote was
composed as follows

After this strong vote was taken, Mr.. Sehenck's
amendment, which we published on Sunday last,
was rejected by vote Of l63 10 80, and after that
the House passed resolution, by vote of I52 TO
~, that the Galphin claim was no, JUS, demand
against the Treasury Of the United States. One
report rays that the House next passed esolu-
non that the act of Congress made il the duty Of
the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the principal
of'he claim. This report may be right, but it i,
no, very clear TO us. Afterwards, az we learn,
they pronounced, by vote Of ll7 to 81, tina. the
Secretary Of the Treasury was not authorized to
pay the interest on the claim, and that il was con-
rary 10 law and precedent to do 90.

The Washington Globe, in its summary of Foreign
news says that the President ofthe French Republic
has carried his point in the matter of raising his sal
ary which is now 5000 000 francs, equal to $685.,
about twentysevcn times the salary of the President
of the United States. What services Prince Louis
can render for this enormous sum, squeezed from a
wretched and starving peasanry, and drawn from an
exhausted Treasury, we do not know, but cannot
believe that there is anything like quid pro quo.

Fourth of July celebrations in south Carolina.

The fourth of July has ever been considered day
too hallowed for the breath of dsunon to enter its
precincts, But such appears not 10 have been the
case during the present month, in South Carolina.
We have an account of three celebrations of the
anniversary of American independence in the last
Charleston Mercury just received at this Office. The
first is called the Three Mile Celebration in Barnwe
District. The Mercury says, the Orator mot only
recounted the deeds of our sres, but his effort was
replete with stirring appeals to their sons, to grd up
their loins for a coming storm.
The following are amongst the regular toastS,
which the Mercury says were duly honored:
The Union-Preserved and maintained in its original
spirit, fountain of blessing and glory; but perverted
and controlled by the fanatics OF the day, instrument
of wrong and tyranny alike oppressive and odious.
The South-Give us liberty and equality or give us
death.
The Constitution as adopted and expounded by our
sires-a plain instrument made by plain men, If its
provisions to be ramped under foot, away with the
Union.
The Compromise of Henry Clay-A virtual acknowl-
edgement OF Southern ineriority cowardy surrender
of Southern rights.
Marion, Sumter, and Butler-Some ofthe Game Cocks
of the South that show the breed is exnct witness
the fields of Churubusco, Chepultepec and Mexico.
Another celebration of the Prince Williams
troop. The Mercury says the Orator of the day
"advocated the Nashville Platform because Southern
honor pledged to support it; but argued that its
rejection by the North, if it would unite the South
on the measure of separation would more surely ad-
vance true interests and the safety Of our institu
TONS He maintained the necessity of slavery to the
permanence of Republican Government"
The following are some of the regular toasts:
The Compromise-An image of brass with feet Of
Clay.
The Nashville Convention-Truc to their trust the
South will stand on their platform.
African Slavery-The last stronghold Of conservatism
without it Replblcanism is but Mobocracy.

Matters at washington.

The correspondent of the New York Journal of
Commerce of the 18th inst. states that Mr. Fillmore
will have Cabinet that WILL after the settlement Of
the territorial question: give rise to little opposition
except what is merely of political character. They
will take the old Wing platform, and unite far
possible the old whig party.
The Compromise bill is lingering in the Senate,
from gradual consumption. Mr.. King and Mr..
Berrien both declared to-day, that they should not
vote for ii as it is. All the amendments talked of
have been rejected.
Mr.. Clay evidently gives up the bill, and hopes
that some Senator fortunate than himself, will
take up the subject and propose another plan. He
viii address the Senate on Monday, and as soon as
the bill is definitely disposed of be leaves the Sem
ate, at least for time, on account of his health.
He will go to the sea shore.

Funeral of President Taylor.

This was the most magnificent pageantthe country

the most imposing ceremonies over the remains of

one hundred thousand dollars. A large sum TO bury

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1850.
The Galphin Cabinet.

Congress, by an overwhelming vote, having con-
demned Crawford Meredith, and Johnson; and the
Richardson committee, who will soon report having
ferreted out numerous frauds on the Treasury, COM
mitted by Ewing, and the laundering diplomacy and
the constant inebriation of Clayton left no alterna
tive with the new President but to dismiss them
But the most unfortunate of the whole batch are
Messrs. Preston and Collamer, who men of
good character, and played well their part as whig
ministers; but they had to CO. not because they had
committed any offence, but because they were found
in bad company. 1t would not do to contaminate
the new Cabinet with the least taint of Galphnism.
A sensible decision. We clip the following article
from the New York Herald, a Taylor paper, written
a few days before General Taylor's death:
But we are tired of the unpleasant duty of tracing
the torous windngs of the present Cabinet from the
time when they got into office until the present. We

was to point moral to show politicians or statesmen
that when they prove themselves unathu the trusts
reposed in them-that when they attempt to their
offices and their official influence to their personal
purposes and views instead of the good of their

that later retributve punishment will be in

confidence of the country and of their party being

the House of Representatives, unworthy of the offices

hope of all good men is, that their places will be

The New Administration.

Millard Fillmore of New York is now President,
made so by the dispensation Of Divine Providence
and the forms Of the Constitution. He has selected
new Cabinet, who will be his Constitutional advis-
With their portfolios they win be at their
posts, and their line of policy win be marked out.
Mr.. Fillmore is under no pledges. He is whig,
old fashioned National Bank, High Tariff, and
Internal improvement whig-a -lenry Clay whig-
and his friends say, national whg, without the least
alloy Of abolitionism freesoilism, and in
clned to believe such is his position But we are
not in possession of whg Secrets and therefore
unable to oreshadow his policy. We have no desire
TO do So We shall make no factious opposition to
the Administration, but shall approve such measures
as we consider right and disapproye those that are
wrong We shall Judge the tree by its fruit; although
we confess we do not expect it will bear fruit Palat-
able to our taste The democrats can truly say,
Blessed they that do not expect any thing, for
they shall not be disappointed"

Thomas COrwin.


In the division of spoils under the new Admins
tration, the northwest gets the Secretary of the
Treasury. To Thomas Corwin of Ohio has been
given the keys of the strong box. The wings gen.
orally regard this popular appointment, and
which will add strength to the Administration He
is in favor of the most stringent and radical whig
measures, and what will add to his popularity with
the wings, is the fact that he was the most violent
and unscrupulous opponent of the Mexican war
When our patriotic soldiers were upholding the glo-
rious flag of country and pouring out their blood
to sustain, unsullied its stars and stripes this same
Thomas Corwin, in the Senate of the United States
was invoking the wrath of Heaven on their heads
and praying that the Mexicans, with bloody hands,
might welcome them to hospitable graves. This in
famous and anti-American speech translated
into the Spanish language and published in all the
Mexican papers, to give encouragement to our enc
mics, and to show them that one man, in high
place, sympathized with them, and prayed for the
indiscriminate slaughter of his own countrymen.
President Fillmore, as a compliment to the north
western States, has appointed him Secretary of the
Treasury, and the Senate has confirmed his nomina-
ton. He was a member of that body, and it would
have been ndecorous 10 have rejected him. But we
gratfed to say that Indiana show clean hands
in this transaction. Senator Bright, with his usual
boldness and energy, denounced his appointment on
the floor of the Senate and both the Indiana Senators
recorded their names against his confirmation.

that occasion is to be taken as a specimen, it will
prove to be Capital House in more sense than

have been much pleased to have participated in the
ride and the good things at the dinner, but we had
made arrangements to go into the country to hear
the candidates. We, however, were very pleasantly
situated in the dinner line well as agreeably
tertained by the candidates Our old friend, Esq.
Morrow, spread most bountiful table, and we had
the pleasure of dining with larger number of can
didates than any previous occasion. They were
good-humored set of fellows, and appeared to en-
JOY the canvass very much. The old Governor shook
his fat sides, and our old friend Mcguire looked at
least foot taller. Chapman was the smallest man
of the crowd but we believe the most conspicuous,
as he had a word for every Major Morrison was

stitution to the crowd in the grove, while were

Cannelton, Indiana.

BY the politeness of Hamilton Smith, Esq, Of
Louisville, Kentucky, we have received pamphlet
ofupwards of one hundred pages, entitled :" Camel
ton, Perry County, Indiana, at the intersection Of
the Eastern margin Of the Illinois Coal Basin, by
the Ohio Rirer; ats natural advantages site for

mel Coal Company
The object of this publication is to give informa-
ton in the manufacturing districts of New England
and Europe, and to attract skill and capital to the
Mineral District of Indiana No Western State in
the Union better situated than Indiana for the pro-
fitable development of our mineral resources, and
these, believe, but little understood, even by
those who have made much research. Our immense
coalfelds and iron mines will astonish when further
developed even the most enthusiastic of our citizens
The location of Cannelton is good for manu-
featuring purposes, and it is luckily in the hands of
enterprising citizens, who determined to make it
a great manufacturing city In few years from
this time there will be Railroad facilities psssing to
