Telegraphic Summary.
In the Senate, the hours devoted to the public
service were not very proftably used-though this
Is no uncommon fact The Compromise bill of Mr..
Clay came UP, and Mr.. Foote having moved an
amendment to Mr.. Hale's amendment of the pre-
seding day, with respect to the formation of two
States out of California, the Senate adopted, by a
vote of thrty-three to FIVE, "that California shall
be admitted with or without slavery, as her people
msylelect."
In the House of Representatives, the whole day
was passed in a discussion upon the new charge
brought against the Secretary of the Treasury, by
Mr.. Sweetzer, for using and appropriatng large
sum of money from the surplus fund The
record of the discussion is highly interesting. The

Washington, andnot without reason. We have no.
settled the first piece of Galphnism and yet have
another thrust forth TO perpex the country. On
the twentyseventh of June, lSi7, under Mr.. Folks
administration, one hundred and 6fty-two thousand
dollars were transferred from the contingent fund
of unexpended balances, TO the national treasury.
In December, lSi9, the present cabinet did take
from the treasury this amount, and re-appropriated

rious charge, and, with other circumstances, can
not be overlooked. When il comes up again, we
hope it will be treated with becoming decorum, in
accordance with the importance of the subject.
The public are alive TO the corruption in high places
at Washington, and desire thorough Investigations

present cabinet one of these days

both the black and the white races and, by costly
presents, is endeavorng to the whites to sub

gard, Sir Robert Shambourg, the English secret
