Mr. J. +. DEIGGs orM cligan Resumes his
defence against tie charge Of having imnrcn,rly
appointed JouS L. GASLGY as IA cadet at West
Point in ls4. lie publishes new statement on
tHe ,ulJ c, ia Ne S'Jiaqp Enterprise, in which he
produces IN affidavit from GANLGl himself This
person admit, having offered lribc of one
thousand dollars 10 the Hon. GEoscG :. Bour-
WELL for n cal 'lip, but aflrms that for the one
lie got Of Mr. Driccs he paid nothin, to that ger.
tlcman. lie confS,cs, however, that the an.
poinrucu' cost lin $500 paid TO one Grorcr Il
llcHH'. Wien GA>Llr first applied to DercGs.
lac was Informed that it was mpo,sibl, 10 do
anything FOR han, because the place had already
been gwen to HOLMES. Thcrcupon GiNLEY goes
TO HE lucky lloLMLs, aud makes an arrangement
with him to stand aside and let DRIGGs appoint
UANLEY In consideration of this favor. GlNIEy
states thut he bargIined to pay lIoLMr, $500, but
that when he came to close the purchase he was
compelled to put up as much as S5OO-wlich
was all for lIoLMrS, Of course, aud not a cent Of
II for DEIGGs
In connection with IloLMEs's affidavit Mr.
DRiCGs also publishes a statement from physician
to the effect that lloLNEs, at the time he took
GtNLEY's money, was ph, ,cally incompetent 10
serve as n cadet, and would have been rejected
on That account had be gone to West Point. So
that il seems that poor GASLEr was swindltd all
around. Nor il lac the only sufferer for the cir
cua,tanccs Of the Whole case are such as to cast
upon Mr.. DRiGGs an amount Of suspicion from
which the evidence lar published cannot be
said to relieve him. but lie contrary.

Of November, 1853, the Government Of China
placed in the hands Of the United States Govern.
menl for the settlement of claims Of citizens Of
the United States against China, there still re-.
mains about 100000, currency, uncxpcnded
This balance Mr.. SrNNER proposes to refund to
the Chinese, aud has introduced into the Senate
joint resolution to that effect. Let the resou.
ton be passed promptly, by all means. Honesty
and good policy alike demand it, II is u wonder
that the money should have been kept ,afr 80
long, and paying II buck TO its real owners would
crown the reputation OF the country with blaze
