OUR SPECIAL TEIEGRAPHc CORRESPONDENCE.
WARRINGTON, May 16, 1850.
The two amendments to the compromise bill, offered
in the Senate to-day by Jefferson Davis and Mr. Gle
mems the result Of Southern caucus last night
in the Capitol.
The first recognises slavery in the territories; and
the second gives to Texas all the disputed territory
and removes the Indians at the expense Of the govern
ment.
Such amendments look bad for the ompromise The
Southern begin to entertain the opinion that the
whole question must go back to the people.
The report Of the majority Of the committee the
investigation of the Galphin claim, will be presented
tomorrow, or next day 1t is whispered that it will
be whering, scathing affair. A far as learn
it is not only upon Mr.. Crawford as the paid
counsel Of Galphns representatives, by which that
member Of the cabinet received his share
hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, but it also
shows the Attorney General up in strong colos the
advocate Of paying interest contrary to usage and
propriety Probably, the President will not
cape censuIe for his acquiescence, partic cularly
as he has backed his cabinet up SO strongly
The committee will probably, declare that the act Of
1S4S was the only authority for the payment Of the
claim and that interest, therefore be paid
or at least only from the passage of that act that
teres was pad on the In dsregardt to the usages
Of goverDmen mt and Of law that safe guard should
be established by which interest shall not be paid
less by special act OF Congress- that the conduct Of
the present cabinet shows that person should hold
Office under the government who has an interest a
claims upon the government and that there ought to
be right appeal with respect to claims before ac-
counting officers to make decisions final by the heads
Of the several departments
They may take very bold ground from the facts be-
fore them This Galphin cabinet Is a curious one and
without mercy on the public. the public

Castle Garden, of the friends of the Union Ne
yer has the Empire City presented more noble
frcnt TO the country, in defence of the Constitution

thusastic resi- onse TO call for popular assem-

signing the call on this occasion. The list of
