The GARDENER CAsE.-The Washing
ton correspondence of the New York
Herald, writing on Saturday says:
"The evidence in the Gardner case to-
day,it is continuded, will summarily con-
clude the matter in favor of the Ie efendant
Colonel Payne, one OF the commissioners
who decided the claims against Mexico,
testified that the award vas not made 90
Gardner in consideration of his having
title to the mine, but for the losses incurred
in the destruction of his property, and
having been prevented from working
mine Of which he had possession. As
the effort Of the prosecution has been to
show that Gardner obtained the award by
means Of an alleged forged title to mine.
the Importance to him of Payne's testi.
mony is argued. Of course, this will de-
pend upon the discrepancies between the
terms Of the Indictment and the proof"
