The Gardiner Claim.
The following extract from the National

to show that Mr.. Corwin had the least cause to
suspect its true character. Indeed, Mr.. Corwin

and entitled to credit.
"The committee not only acquit Mr.. Corwin of
all blame in the matter, but give extracts from the
evidence showing that he sold out to Mr.. George
Law, of this city, all interest which he had in the
claim; and that, after he went into the Cabinet, he
refused to be consulted or advised with on any
matter connected with that or any other claim
against the Government for the prosecution Of
which he had been previously employed. Under
these circumstances we must express surprise
that the editor of the Herald should have inserted

be permitted TO say, in very unmerited terms.
The only explanation of such article, consistent
with the fairness and candor which we are sure il

one Of his numerous employees. to whom he has
referred the subject, has abused his confidence,
and perpetrated great injustice, which the editor
must regret. Mr. Corwin is political opponent,
but it is due to his high position, and to the honor
and character OF the press, that he should receive
Justice at our hands."
