The BALL AT THE HARDY lTousE-Wc were

at tho brilliant ball which came Of T., the

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY June, %, 1852.

The journal of Saturday having been read,
Mr.. OLDS asked leave to offer lengthy pre-
ambe and resolutions, in reference to the alleged
connection of the Secretary Of the Treasury, Hon.
Thomas Corwin, with the Gardiner claim and
providing that a committee Of five be appointed
to investigate all the facts touching the conduct of
the Secretary in relation to said claim.
Mr.. TOOMBS objected to the resolution. IF
any gentleman would prefer charge against the
Secretary, he should not object, but he did not
choose that charges founded upon public rumor
should be made against any one,
t Mr.. OLDS replied that public rumor was such
hat the matter required investigation.
Mr.. TOOMBS said that he would never put
anybody upon trial merely upon rumor.
Mr.. POLK thought that the matter should be
referred to committee to ascertain whether or
not the charges were true.
Mr.. TOOMBS. Let somebody farther the
charges.

PUBLIC MEN.-In the North British Rern,o
for May we find an article on the prospects of
British statesmen and policy, which 10 quite as
applicable to the state Of things in this country
~ Great Britain:
"When such are the tremendous-and though
not irresponsible yet certainly uncontrolled
powers which We place in the hands of those
who administer our national affairs, when every
decision which they take involves the welfare
and happiess Of Thousands when the country
may be called upon to expiate with it's dearest
lives and its richest treasure every blunder they
commit through imperfect knowledge or made
quate capacity, who shall say that we do not
require in our public men the most commanding
ability-powers the most special and the most
rare. The magnitude of the interests at stake
cannot be exaggerated at too high a standard
The well being of nation, and Of that portion
OF human progress which it influences and de.
cides, has to be provided for. How cautious,
and how deliberately tested ought to be the
choice of those to whom it is confided how
rich, numerous, varied, and select, ahould be the
list Of candidates out of whom our selection
must be made"

Wa learn from the papers that it is not tn
;.tanton either of General yScoTr or OF Dbl
Sacretsry GRAHAM to resign their present OH
ces until the Presidential election. Although
wa do not intend to support any Of the nominees
4, this canvass, and care very little about thu
result we are concerned in the maintenance o
those general principles of propriety and dut,
that bind all parties.
General ScoTT is general-in-chief Of thu
Army. and candidate for the Presidency
Now, the Presidential election may be contested
There may be fraud or force, or both, exertee
on the day of election, and the ballot box may
thereby be vitisted But there is no provision
in the Constitution or laws for contested Presl-
dental election; and hence each party may act
according 10 its convictions, its interests, or its
passions. Hence force may be resorted to, and
hence we protest against General SCOTS con-
tinuance as general in.chief of the Army. The
improperly is too obvious to need further
comment. So, also, we protest against Mr..
GRAHAMs continuance in the Navy Department
during the canvass. Why, here is the control
of the Army and Navy in the hands Of two can
didates on the same ticket Is that a decent or
proper attitude for them to have?
1t is true that the President is commander
in-chef of the army and navy, but then all
orders to each are transmitted through the
gensral-in.chief to the army and through the
Secretary of the Navy to the navy. And in Gaze
of contested election, with parties nearly bal
anced and highly excited, how absurd to entrust
the control of the army and navy to the two men
precisely, whose personal ambition is the most
deeply involved in the result. How utterly ab.
surd when the Constitution itself expressly pro
vides that mere Presidential elector shall hold
no office of trust or profit under the United
States. 1t must be considered that implicit
obedience to the orders of superiors is the law
of both army and navy-and hence both can be
concentrated at the seat of government at the
pleasure of their respective superiors.
As for General SCoTT, we don't know how
far he could be trusted if the Presidential prize
were before him. But the Secretary of the
Navy we know is not to be trusted with the exc
cution of law merely to regulate the executive
printing, when partizans or half partizans are in
volved.
