CARRIED UP TO THE COuRT OF CLAIMs.-At the
session of Congress before the last, the House
of Representatives passed resolution appro-
priating certain per centage of extra pay to
it's employees, clerks, messengers, pages, &c.
But under the general wording of the resolu-
ton, Col. Nicholson we understand, then the
editor of the Cabinet organ, and Printer to the
House, put in an extra claim for printing, as
an employe, for twenty thousand dollars. Sec
rotary Guthrie refused to pay the bill. The
President referred the matter to the Attorney
General for his opinion, and of course Mr..
Cushing decided that the bill was all right.
Armed with this authority, Col. Forney, in be-
half of Nicholson, again called at the Trea-
sury; but the Secretary fatty said it
was no 60. He knew Us much about the law
as Mr.. Gushing, and the money should not be
paid. Col. Nicholson, II is said, then demand
ed new Secretary, and referred to the Jackso-
MAN precedent Of the dismissal Of Secretary
Duane upon his refusal to remove the govern
ment deposits from the United States Bank.
But Mr.. Pierce wisely concluded to surrender to
Guthrie. Subsequently, the House of Repre-
sentatives sustained the Secretary in the rejec
ton Of this extraordinary claim; and DOW, We
understand it is before the Court Of Claims,
with many other cases Of a Gardner or Gal
phin type. There, for the present we leave it,
without the slightest disposition to forestall
the judgment Of the Court. Besides what is
trihe Of twenty thousand dollars to Uncle
Sam, when Gardner got upwards of half a
million? And why make fish Of one and flesh
of another? Impartiality is the very essence
of iustice,
