Report Of the Committee ON Frauds.

We mentioned yesterday that the Senae's committee
appointed to investigate cases OF alleged fraud, abuse
&C., made its report Wednesday. The report, with
appendix containing in detail the testimony which
it is founded in the hands Of the compositos, the
Printing Committee having directed that il be printed at
once. We have not, therefore, had opportunity OF
gansing the manuscript which has been sent
to from the committee The proof-shees of the first
hirytwo pages OF the report before US, and from
them learn that the committee has investigated and
reported on four The first is that OF
tract for the building Of certain light houses in Caor
MIA and Oregon, given privately by Mr. Corwn, late Sec
rotary OF the Treasury, to clerk in his department. 18th
the expectation and consent that the clerk oud sell the
contract at large profit. Before the contract was
cluded the clerk received his partner in the specula
ton, at the instance OF Mr. Corwin, of his personal
friends then unknown to the clerk; and subsequently,,
the solicitation OF this partner he received the third
member of the partnership very near relative of Mr.
Corwin. The contract thus obtained finally sold
TO subconracors late Secretary Of the Treasury
being aware that it offered in the market-at
profit OF fifteen thousand dollars The sub-conractors
accepted place of the original contractors, and the
original cancelled The profit of fifteen thousand
dollars divided between the clerk and his partners, and
paid by draft the treasury of the United States
Subsequently modification ofrhe contract in favor of
the sub-contractors the amount of thousand FIVE
hundred dollars procured through the agency of the
first partner in the original contract introduced by Mr.
Corwin-he fee paid for such agency being nine
hundred dollars These particulars taken from the
synopsis OF evidence given in the committees report,
and accompanied by others OF the gravest char
acer, all of which will be presented by us in detail
when have done justice 10 the second casethat re-
a,ng to the Capitol extension. 10 which we give prece
dence. as well because of its magnitude as for the
reason that we have already made some progress in
its consideration. We say now, however, that every
thing we have stated in that behalf, based repre-
sensations Of the testimony, is fully borne out by the
proofs The report of the committee fully sustans
all the allegations of fraud. abuse, and embezze-
men, which have been put FORTH 10 our knovledge-cer
