The GALPIN CLAIM.-Some Democratic pa

and Messrs. Ewing and Crawford are designated as
the benifcares Of the transaction. The latter has
personal interest in the claim, and has demanded
Congressional inquiry, which has been granted

WALKER the late Secretary ofthe Treasury, exam

examine the matter. In the mean time clerk in
the Treasury department under the late adminisra-

published letter generating Mr. CRAWFORD from
