The Gsrdiner Claim.
From the New York Herald.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20, 1851.
! have just had a conversation with a yery
candid and intelligent member of the Grand
Jury of this district, which brought in true
oills' for perjury, against George A. and j.
carlos Gardiner He says that most Of the pa
pers upon which the late Board of Commission
ers awarded the Gardiner Claim and the Mears
oiaim were before the Grand Jury, subject to
inspection and comparison, at the time the true
bills for perjury were rendered aA aay
lie states that there were three memorials
addressed to the Board of Commissioners all.
as was understood. i'm the handwriting Of Gen.
Waddy Thompson, which were signed, respec-
nyely,. by George A. Gardiner, j. Carlos Gar
diner, and j. II. Mears. The memorial signed
| by :. Carlos Gardiner was, in many respects,
word for word, the same as the one signed by
DR.. George A.. Gardiner. gT
Although 1t was not leading point OF in
curry for the Grand Jury to ascertain the where
abouts OF the sum of $428, 75O, paid out of the
Treasury on the Gardiner award, yet this
branch of inquiry came up incidentally. The
papers showed the several sums paid to DR..
Gardiner, his agents, and attorneys The
Grand Jury added up all the amounts paid to
Dr. GARDENERS agents and attorneys, and, sub
tracing the aggregate of these amounts from
the award of SS428, $50, it was found that the
sum of $4,000 was left--which sum was paid
49, " -. oaiuihVH. W. luIorIuhut blhLeS
that a small part of this sum of 1856, 900 DIR.
Gardiner took with him in money; that he de-
posted the remainder with the banker, w. w.
Corcoran, esq, but took letters Of credit for
the whole amount which he carried away with
him. ..a..a u@E t '...
Among the papers was memorial to the
Board of Commissioners, from VIM. w. Corco-
ran, esq, praying to be allowed one quarter Of
the award on the Gardiner Claim which he had
purchased; and also a statement from the Trea-
sury Department, that $107 ,O00 and upwards
of said award had been paid to said Corcoran
This statement is somewhat in conflict with
the one rendered by Mr. Corcoran before the
Court Mt the time Of the arrest Of Mr.. j. Car
los Gardiner, when he stated that he had no
interest in said Gardiner Claim. s#E a
The more this whole subject is explored, the
worse it seems to appear. General Waddy
Thompson, one of the leading attorneys for Dr.
Gardiner, has been staying with Gov. Corwip,
another of the attorneys, at the latter's resi-
dence, for some ten days past, looking with the
Secretary of the Treasury over the underground,
to see what can be done, and what is best to be
done in the matter. He has now left for his
home in South Carolina. Before leaving as
am informed, he stated to friend, that if the
Gardiner Claim should be proved to have been
an out-and-out forgery, he would give up that
portion of the award on it which he received
for his services; but if it should prove to have
been only an exaggeration, he should do no
such thing. III 54#
