WASHINGTON. Friday Sept z, 1860.
THE DIS GRoOT CASE.
cbservs that the telegrsphic dispatches hence
OF some Of the New-York papers inpugn the mo-
lives of correspondents who have spOsen facts con-
cernipg the De GrOot case. They are represented
a. persons who wish to back mail the parties in in.
terest Now, 30 far as this correspondence Is con-
cerped, rot one word has been said impuguing any
mans motives. Bat the facts have been truly
stated as understood and believed 10 all Treasury
circles. They ATE that the Secretary of the Tres-
sury two years since, upon precisely such resolu-
ton If Congr ss was passed at the last session,
decided that Mr.. De GroOt had no claim at all, and
gave him nothing.
Some $50 900 was allowed to certain parties
who gave about One-taird Of toat sum to Mr.. De
Groot. New the Secretary of Wac gives MIR. De
Groot $4,000, nearly $4,000 of which is for
constructive damages, or for what his profit would
have beeo had he complied with the contract. If
infamous charges against persons who have simply
stated facts as understood at the Treasury continue
to be made, then it will be mat
ter of duty to make proper defense.
1t seems that the departments are called upon to
furnish information of any KIDD to persons who
have stated facts in this matter 1t remaius to be
seen whether representations that are based in the
general thought of Treasury officials, high and low,
are to be made cause Of prescription o persons OF
the Press who have reflected such thought.
