TELEGRAPMIC INT LLIGENCE.
Telegraphic Summary.

According TO our reports from Washington, there
will be powerful attempt made TO screen the
cabinet from all the odum that has been thrown
upon them, by the allowance of the Galphin claim
and The interest, by The committee Of the House Of
Represe atives to whom subject was referred.
We hope that ii there has been any improper
doings in the matter the committees whitewashing
report will be rgidly scrutnized by the House, and
not adopted unless it is perfectly correct. The
friends Of the administration owe il 10 General
Taylor, and to themselves, to take that course
The allowance of that CAIN, and the int crest e.
pecially, has formed the subject Of good deal of
comment throughout the country; and the people
generally, without respect to party, expect d far
and clear elucdaton and explanation of the who e
affair and the attendant circumstances. If the re-
port be of the character anticipated, and be reject
ed by the House, of course there will be an end to
the present cabinet Such a calamity, however
would not cause many tears for the present cabinet
have not the confidence of the country and have
tended materially to injure, in public estimation
General Taylor administration. While the great
public have always had confidence in the President
they have had any in the cabinet as it is at
prerent formed.

The locomotive became detached ana passed over in
safety but wild panied soon after by the
OF the injured among whom several ladies,
announced the catastrophe. One gentleman
thrown over seven seats, and many persons
severely bruised. Two Of the breakmen killed
The effect of this sudden precipitation towards
the stream was to put out all the lights. to
shatter the cars and to disodge the stoves from
their positions. One was set on fire by the burn
ing Goals but was extnguished After the first
alarm had subsided. the passengers were engaged in
breaking the windows 20 to escape. while the swo
len waters Of the stream sounded dsmally upon the
ear in the darkness and filed the mind with dread
and fearful apprehensions. The Conductor and the
agent Of Adams's express, howsv~- quickly pos
sible procured lanterns. and the passengers
tricated from their peril, some Of them severely,
though not dangerou ly. wounded The locomotive
was sent forward and obtained additional cars and

week. 40 much so that the passengers have on somn

have always advocated the payment Of members Of
the Common Council for their services to the pub
lie. first because the laborcr is worthy Of his hire,
and the people want gratuitous work from any
man secondly. because IL removes all ground for
those claims of an indirect kind the strength Of
which members were in the habit Of eppropriating
10 thcmsclves certain "pckings." Now, one of
the principal arguments urged Cor the payment Of
members was the abolition of the tea room. which
cost the people 80 round every year. But
what do the members Of the Common Council, af-
Ter voting themselves per dem salary They
then pass a resolution making the slsry take effect

had the tea. with all the ccteras. up TO the pre-
cent moment Ths j. no, starting fair on the CON
