The Galphin and Gardiner swindles.

1t will be remembered that great swindles
were perpetrated upon the government during
the administrations of Gen. Taylor and Mr..
Fillmore On examination, Instituted into the
character and testimony upon which the Gar
'tairer cia1m was Obtained, It was found that a
large mass of thepapers presented asevidence
of this claim were impudent forgeries. The
award of $431 600, was made under the treaty
of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, upon mass of writ
ten evidence showing an interest in mines,
&c. The money was paid to DR.. Gardiner
and his assignees in the spring of 1851
About $250O00 of the amount was deposited
in banks in New York and Washington, and
with $4,000 the successful claimant proceed
ed to Europe. 1t appears that the money
had been attached in the funds of the depos-
itaries as soon as the forgeries were detected.
Upon the discovery of the fraud, however,
Gardiner returned from Europe, boldly pro-
claimed his innocence and demanded a trial,
which he had, and the jury failed to agree
In the meantime commission was dispatched
to Mexico to take testimony, &c. Gardiner
accompanied it and returned with it. The
testimony taken was fatal to him, however
and he was convicted on the Both of May,
1854, and sentenced to ten years imprison-
ment but Immediately upon entering his cell
the unfortunate man swallowed strychnine
and died.
1t appears that of the money thus fraudu-
lently obtained, Gardiner deposited $4,000
in the Mechanics Banking Association of New
York. This sum was claimed by the United
States and by John Charles Gardiner, as ad-
ministrator of his brothers estate. The final
ward gives the United States the principal
and the administrator the accumulated inter-
sst upon the fund at five per cent, amounting
% $4,000.
This is consequently the end of the celebra-
ed Gardiner fraud.

LAGRANGE, California, June 1859

LAGRANGE, California, June 1859.
Editor Mississippian
Politics in California are mixed, twisted,
screwed and highly colored.
First-We have the National Buchanan
wing Of Democracy, which is termed by the
opposition, the "Chivalry and Custom House
Democracy
Seoond-We have the Douglas wing of
Democracy, who worship at the shrine of
"Squatter Sovereignty" and who howl con-
tinually against the Buchanan wing but
when you come to analyse their song you
will find the nigger' question is the chorus.
Third-We have the Broderick wing Of
Democracy, as they call themselyes-but the
difference between it and the Black Repubi-
can wing is so indistinct that it is hardly worth
maintaining, for it is conceded that they will
fuse before the election.
Fourth-We have the Black Republican
wing of @Higher Law and Anti-Slayery
notoriety. They present a bold and undis-
0uised part-teeming with fanaticism and
Anti -Lecompton should they sue
ceed in absorbing majority of the Douglasites,
and fuse with the Broderickites, they will
carry the State at the September election.
There is only thing that will save the
National Democracy from defeat in this State,
and that is the Foreign vote. The Irish and
Germans stand firm with the National Demo-
cracy.
It is to be regretted that the Southern
States continue to be divided, when they
ought to be as a unit, for house divided
against itself must fall. Abolitionism is get
ting bolder and presenting a more formidable
front with every recurring year. M.
