"NATIoNAL HoTEL."--A. Dexter, ESQ.,, hal
succeeded Captain F. Black (who has re-
tireD in the management Of this long estab
lished and justly celebrated public house. Mr.
Dexter was formerly next in position to Capt
Black, and therefore is well known, for hi
ready business habits and easy, unaffected
courtesy of manners, to that large portion o.
the public which makes the /" National its stop
ping place in Washington.
Charles b. Calvert, esq, the principal pro-
prietor Of the establishment, with iberality
and public spirit characteristic of his nature,
has been for year past and is now SO enlarg-
ing and improving the great house, that its old
visiters, who have not been in Washington for
q couple of years, would recognise nothing but
its location.
The patronage bestowed upon the National
during the last two sessions of Congress, and
the applications for quarters that could not be
complied with, because the house was full, give
ample warrant for the large additions to the
establishment which Mr.. Calvert's genius and
means have brought about. When completed
the house will be equal to the accommodation
of five hundred guests and no crowding.
One thing in the management Of the "Na-
tionap zoe particularly desire to commend. Its
bar is closed on Sundays.
Hereafter we shall speak Of our other fine
city hotels.

CLERGyMEN IN OFFICE.-We feel it to be our
duty to express our dissent to the idea sug-

lawyers doctors or merchants. They are men,
neither more nor less and should be subject to
the same laws and entitled to the same immu-
mites as other men.

THE RECENT "FAIR BUSINESS TRANSACTION

The RECENT 'FAIR BUSINESS TRANSACTION
The Intelligencer Of this morning says:
I'VE understand that the Grand Jury of the
county of Washington yesterday made present
ments against Geo. A. Gardiner and John G.
Gardiner, for perjury; and against Mears for
presenting false papers"
The Republic has the following
The GARDINER CAsE--AN ARREST. The
Grand Jury yesterday found true bills agains,
George A. Gardiner and John G. Gardiner fol
perjury, in connexion with claim against Mex
leo, allowed by the late Board of Commission
ers, and last evening John G.. Gardiner was
arrested by the MarshaPs officers, A. L. T..
Reese and J. NJ. Wright, and committed to jail"
In jail! What, was there no friend to step
forward at this hour? Where were all the
friends whose aid was SO generously given in
the prosecution of the claim? Alas alas
Later.--One o'clock.-Mr. Gardiner is still
ternoon be bailed out. The amount of the bond
has not yet been named by Judge Crawford, and
is variously conjectured at from eight to sixty
thousand dollars The former is the probable
figure.
presentment is not conviction, and Mr.. J
Carlos Gardiner may be without blame. 1t i.
at least charitable to withhold judgment re
specting him. The whole transaction indeed
may be all right. But just let us suppose it t.
be all wrong, and that Congress, and not the
present administration, should ferret out the
fraud, who would then suffer? Think of this,
ye men Of sensibility, and thank those who have
made this EXPOSURE!
Mr.. Fillmore, we are assured, will omit no
thing that can bring the truth to light. His
administration, and the late Board of Commits
sioners on Mexican Claims, are both interested
in having full investigation into the matter
and we have reason to believe that every thing
will be done that can possibly tend to the con-
vlction of defrauders and imposters, if such
there be.

Colony in Africa. She will carry out full
cargo, and also the largest number Of passen-

pected to arrive in the steamer from Norfolk
this morning, who have engaged passage in the
Liberia Packet Among those who 90 out in
her are Thomas Fuller and Benjamin Jenifer,
two colored ministers of the Gospel, from Dor
chester county, Maryland. Their object in
visiting Africa is to make an exploration of the
country, and to secure the necessary arrange
ments for the reception of their families and
friends, for whom they intend returning in the
fall. The Cambridge Democrat says, that should
their report prove favorable, enough free blacks
