The Senate is engaged in sort of par
aiicl debate on Intervention and the Irish
.Exilcs, alternating daily between those
two subjects, both of which have crept
into the Senate as an episode to Foote's
resolution. 1t really strikes the "Obser-

batting sympathetic resolutions in behalf
Of Hungarian and Irish Exils, that the bu-

was occupied tho whole Of yesterday in
debating Gen. Lanes resolution providing
for passing certain troops on the route to
Oregon and California to protect emierants,

WITH 1T.
Below we append the commets of the
Washington Union upon the GARDINER
fraud, made upon publishing The report
.of the committee appointed by the House
Of Representatives 10 investigate the
claim. This article states sundry facts
in relation 10 this fraud, of momenlous
interest 10 the people of Ohio. We call
attention 10 this article. The facts stated
are all sustained by the Report, which
we shall publish in full on next Tues
day: +"
The report oftha committee appointed
to investigate the connection Of the Hon.
Thomas Corwin with the celebrated Gal'
diner claim, will Le found at length in
the columns Of the Union this morn
Il ing. As it is a document that has been
long looked for, it will De read with deep
interest. The report is signed by two
democrats and one whig, and lis state
ments ale The result Of a Iaborious and
candid investigation of the facts. We do
not intend at the present lime TO enter
into any lengthy commentator the evil
dence disclosed by this committee, the
conclusions agreed upon, or the parties
implicated But we do not hesitate to
say that the Report presents picture Of
political proAiqacy and ofpersonal abase-
ment which has not been parallelcd in
the history Of the present administration,
from the days of the Galphins down TO
the present hour.
Our readers will recollect that the
committee to investigate into This claim,
was raised at the last session ofCongress,
upon a resolution offered by Hon. Edison
B. Olds, of Ohio, and amended6y Hon.
R. II. Meade, of Virginia, and that, in
the course OF the discussion preceding
the adoption of the resolution by the
House ofRepresentalives, Hon. Lewis D.
Campbell, Of Ohio, the friend Of Mr..
Corwin, and now one of the immediate
abolition friends of Gen. Scott, made The
following declaration:
"The proofs were furnished by Gar
diner and his agents; and have the an
,bority OF the members of tho board of
commissioners, composed as il was, Of
distinguished men and able lurists. for
saying that there was no clearer case
presented to that board than this Of
Gardiner The papers were most per-
feet, bolhin matter Of form and substance,
and contained internal evidence, by a
combination Of coroborative crcumstaIi-
ces, TO force the conclusion that the
claim was just. It was allowed"
DR.. Olds, In reply. took issue with this
statement; and the fact is now es;ablish-
ed upon the amplest evidence, that the
Gardiner case WAS FRAUD THRoueHoUT,
AND THAT 1T WAS SO BASE A FRAUD THAT
THE COMMISSIONERS WHO DECIDED 1T.
HAVE RECEIVED THE sEvEREsT REPRE-
