Summary OF Ne we.

Our special correspondent at Washington, who
reported that evidence had been received which
tett DO GOubt that fraud had been practised in
respect 30 the Gardiner claim, reiterates the as
sertiop and states that the proofs of fraudulency
we're obtained by our Minister to Mexico, and
are bov in the possession of the Secretary of the
Treasury. II is also animated that suspicious
are saoat that rome of the members of the Cabinet
are compromised IN the affair Very likely Hsw-
ever, Galphinism, and the peculiar method Of
paying Mexican instruments, combined with other
extraordinary financial operations, seem to have
aroused spirit of inquiry among members of
Congress; and n general overhauling Of the trans
actions Of government functionaries, from the
highest to the lowest, is now the order of the day
The House yesterday passed a resolution calling
Ser information concerning the number, nature,
snd amount of claims paid during the present ad-
ministratio which had previously been suspended
set aside for want of sufficient proof to their
legality. From present indications, little sur
prise need be manifested if some astounding dis.
closures arc made be fore the session is over.
The kossuth correspondence on board the Mis-
sissippi, lie about being brought to light. A rcsolu-

Quite spirited debate took place in the House
OF Representatives, yesterday, motion to enter

strong: OFT Union newspaper, for the printing
sFthe Census. Mr.. Evans (whg) stated that the
matter appertaining to each State, would, preba-
lily, make one large volume, and that, when
finished, the work would number thirty. one
volumes, or more. If this suppo sition is correct,
sbe expense Of printing the Census will amount to
an enormous sum of money. 1t was contended by
some OF the menbers-democrats as we'll as whigs-
shat it was decidedly wrong to mention the names
Of MessTe. d & A, in The resolution authorizing
he contract, and that it attempt to bolster
az rar.izan press. by giving it profitable job, in
order that the editors in question might have the
means of manufacturing public opinion" and
disseminating the same throughout the country,
during the coming Presidential campaign. This,
ia reality, is the oDy reason way the politicians
take SO much interest in the business of public
printing, and we ere pleased to observe taat many
members have adopted our views with regard to

But little business worthy OF note was transacted
in the United States Senate yesterday. A bill to
grant land to Iowa, for railroad purposes, having
provision was unjust and moved an amendment,
by which over fourteen millions OF acres Of the
public domains would be divided between seventeen
states, according TO their federal population. He
