The Gardiner Investigation.
OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
WAsuINoroN Julv III lS6

The f"felie'ncer Of yesterday morning, contained
correspondence between Mr.. Charles Gardiner
and General Jarero, in reference to the pubcstior
Of the Genei ais evidence before the Grand jury
as published in the Herald. The letter OF General
Jarero. although it does not by itself, call in CUES
tiop the accuracy Of the evidence as there given,
yet, taken in connection with MIR. Gardeners note,
may possibly bear such q construction As, frc6a
he facts, thi, could not have been intended gen.
leman yesterday addressed note Of enquiry to Cen
Jsrero, who promptly repudiated any such inter
probation, and at the same time called in question
the accuracy Of the translation of bis note sent
the in'd'igen'1 by Mr.. G. Gardiner.
In all that | have co nmunicated to the Herald,
have taken 10 sides, either for against DR.. Gar
diner. My duty has been to give facts. DIR. Gar
diners claim may may not be just one. | sin
cerely hope that the investigation which is now
going on, will prove that it is just claim; but in
any event, feel convinced that not ono single
shadow OF Suspicion rest upon the character of
either ofthe members of the Board, or the gentle
men who acted as counsel in prosecuting it.
The following are the letters vaich appeared in
y.s'eroay's mthgem1 -
