New YORK, Sept. 9.
The Washington correspondent of the Tri
6une says the case Of Mr.. Cook, P. NJ, of
Chicago, has not been passed upon, though
the Presidents disposition to favor him is al
legged by numerous partizans. Cook attrib-
utes whatever of wrong has occurred in his
office to persons thrust upon him by the De-
partment, whom he shall oust on his return.
let the consequences be what they may. He
says he does not steal himself nor do his as
sociates. .................r...-, -,,.r
/ Peter c. w ashingtOn has arrived here. of.
ter several months absence in the north and
northeast, which he. spent in ureine the
| claims OF Mr.. Guthrie for the Presidency. It
is assumed ttnt hr. Brsckenridge is not to be
competitor in Kentucky, if the Senatorship
is freely accorded to him.
The Washington correspondent of the New.
York Herald says the North Western island
| difficulty will doubtless become matter of
| negotiation between the government of Great
| Britain and that of the United States. as the
treaty settling the boundary has no provision
! for settlement in the case which has arisen.
| The State Department has this matter under
consideration, and Gen. Harvey will receive
| instructions to act with the greatest caution
until the governments have compared views
| upon the subject. -
The Heralds Washington dispatch SAYS:
Great confederation prevails among all par
ties having accounts to settle with the De-
partments, occasioned by the stringency with
which the auditing rules are applied at the
Treasury. Foreign ministers consult con-
tractors, and disbursing officers in all branch
es Of the public service, and Marshals, Post
masters and Collectors, are all in the same
boat. .........r--rs
Suspicious have long been abroad that
| large sums are constantly abstracted from the
public purse by means Of fraudulent, forced
or stretched vouchers, and some of them are
now being verified. Fabulous sums are de-
manded and are vouched for under the heads
OF clerk hire, copying, translating, &C., which
are intended to cover expenses for dinners,
wine, horse hire, &C., not auditable.
The President is determined to hold all of.
ficers' accounts to the strictest scrutiny. and
when frauds are attempted, to reject the
claims and prosecute the offenders. = Proofs
| accumulate in various cases not mentiopable.
This process is to be retractive and occasions
many absentees amongst those who have had
accounts adjusted during the reign of the
present Administration. The President has
been importuned in vain. He blandly in
forms his friends that he doubts not they
will get all they are entitled to, but does not
Interfere with the duties Of the Auditors.
Gov. Floyd is at White Sulphur Springs, in
much improved health. He will probably
reach this city this week. SsFi
