The causes of some of the curious results which are set forth in this article, are quite obvious to us, as they may be to our readers, and we may allude to them on future occasions. Tue Rerorten Resi@nation or Mr. Wes- | ster—-Tne Tarcorr Court Marriar.—The public mind has been excited and toraented, for the last few days, by contradictory reports and | assertions concerning two subjects of greatinterest, | and it was not until Saturday evening that there Was any satisfactory solution of either. We allude to the resignation of Mr. Webster, Secretary of State under Mr. Fillmore, and the verdict of the Court Martial on Gen. Talcott, at Washington. In the one case, it wag pronounced, with an air of confidence and authority, that Mr. Webster had se- vered bis connection with the present administra, tion, and had determined upon making a voyage to Europe, for the purpore, we suppose, of seeing the | World's F The assertion was denied on the same day, but reiterated the next. Again it was | asserted, and again denied. It was the same with the verdict of the Talcott Court Martial. One despatch asserted that this distinguished soldier had been acquitted of all the charges that were brought against him, and that the verdict had been approved by the Presiden:. Another asserted that he had | been found guilty of all the charges—that the sen- | tence was, dismissal from the service—and that the | fentence met the concurrence of the Executive. The Herald removed all doubts concerning the lat- | ter case, by publishing in full the finding of the court, the approval of it by Mr. Fillmore, and the censure passed upon Col. Huger, commander of Fort Monroe Arsenal, for alleged irregularity and negligence inthe discharge of his official daties- | Itisno more than right to say that this sentence | although it met with the concurrence of the Execu- | tive, does not give satisfaction to the public. Eve- | | ry cne who read the testimony, and the elaborate | defence of Gen. Taloottexptétef a result totally | different. The General is looked upon as a martyr | tothe spleen of the Secretary of War; and, al- | | though he bas been dismissed the sorvice, he has | lost none of bis character ‘as an oficer and a gen: tlemen,” in public estimation. | Iu relation to the resignation of Mr. Webster, that gentleman bas authorized a contradiction of it. ‘This is all very well, ae far as it goes; but we have rearon to believe that he has, for some time pas‘, | contemplated taking sach a step; and, if we do not | much mistake, the only fault that can be found with the report of his having actually resigned, is, thet it was premature.

According to present appear- ances, Mr. Webster stands an excellent chance of nomination by the National Whig Convention. | Gen. Scott's nomination is, as we expected it would be, very unpopular at the South, and at some points at the Weet, and is by no moans strong at the North, as was anticipated by many of his friends. Candidates for the Presidency must have | more than the past to help them into the White | | House. What they will do, if eleeted, is the eapitay to go upon now s days. The press of the South hae spoken against Gen. Scott, and warned the whigs of the North not to persist in holding him up asa candidate, for they will never support him, identified as he ie with the Northern whig abolitionists, with Seward at their head and Weed at their tail—with the abolition sliding scale platform of the Pennsyl- vania Whig Convention, and the dodge platform of | the Obio whigs. Mr. Webster is now brought regularly in the field, by his own consent, a¢ @ candidate for the Presidency. As the country is at present situated, he ie a tower of strength ; bat in all probability, questions as grave and as important as the compro- mise subject, and closely allied to it, will arise be- fore the meeting of the national conventions.

Tue Gaseiine Bi.t.—From the moment when the disclosures were made public, by Mike Walsh, concerning the attempt of Mr. Bull to levy black- | mail on some of the prominent gambling- house keepers of this city, a determination was formed by the members of the Senate, to purge themselves of the imyputations that were cast upon certain members of their body, and to push through the Anti-Gambling bill, for the double purpose, of | revenging themselves on the gamblers who dared to expose them, and of whitewashing them- selves. In accordance with this determination, the Dill, with some modifications, was passed by both houses, and is now the law. We have carefully read it over, and we find nothing very new or stri_ king in it. It provides penalties against keeping gambling houses, against dealing faro, against ven ding lottery policies of any public or private lottery, it authorizes magistrates, &c., to issue warrants to search the persons and places of individuats, who, there is good reason to believe, have gambling appa ratvs concealed; it directs that such gambling ap- paratus shall be broken and sold, and the proceeds Thi ons, which gumous bill contains other similar pro we way refer to at another time. We do not see that this bill —this exhibition o whig-abolition spleen, under the cloak of morality —is any improvement on the former laws agains gambling; and we venture to say that, like them, it will never be enforced, unless, perhaps, when some of those members of the Legislature, who were loud. est in insisting upon its passage, visit some of the fashionable gambling houses around town, and en- gage in a game of rouge et moir, or the scien tifle play of faro. Notw'thstanding their loud- mouthed advocacy of morality, and their ede | nunciations ef the impropriety and evil effects o | gambling, it would not surprise us if at some time, some of these very men were the first and perhaps The knowing gamblers of New York will snap their fingers at it, and care no more about its provisions than they did about the old laws. But can any of the extreme moralists who went on a regular junketting when the Legislature were here on a visit, a few month | ago, and made night hideous in the classic logality of the Five Points, by the'r orgies, inform uz what | use there is in directing that the gambling appara- tus that may be seized under the bil, shall be broker to pieces by the sheriff and the fragments sold, and the proceeds placed into the treasury for the Can they tell us how much the fragments of a faro table would bring at a public auction? We opine neither the treasury ror the common schools will benefit much by this sapient provision, ‘The anti-gambling law, kowever, has been passed; the last Legislature has been whitewashed of the im- putations, aimed at certain of its members, and they now stand before the world, in thei. own estima- tion, but not in that of the public, clear of all charges connected with attempts at levying black mail, ina eonfidential and private way. It is regretted that they did not attempt to clear themselves of the im- putations contained in Attorney General Chatfield’s letter. After they had heaped all the abuse possible on that gentleman, he turned round, and, in a powerful and well written letter, made charges against them of a very serious charac ter. The explosion which the literary missile caused was as loud as what followed Mike Walsh's bon.bshell. They declared they were insulted, grossly insulted, and that the charges would not have been made if the Attorney General had not known that the Legislature would not pro- tract the session for the purpose of investigating | them. This will not do. This excuse will not acquit them in the estimation of an impartial pub- lic. Two days, oF three at the utmost, would have sufficed to make the investigation, and arrive at another whitewaehing conclusion. The truth is, the mojority of the last session were corrupt—mere trucklers, to do the bidding of the demagogues be- bind the curtain, and make something for their friends, at the expense of the treasury. It is to be hoped the Capitol will never again be occupied by tuch a worthless parcel of contemptible, time- serving polit: Fiorma Ixteresr Crams axp Mexican Ciaims.—A letter from George Mackay, Esq., counsellor at law, of Washington city, the agent and attorney for many of the Florida claims, being an exposition of them, which he deems called for by references to them in the newspapers, n com nection with Mr. Corwin, appears to-day. The Herald has expressed no opinion against these claims, or on the justice and propriety of their being allowed by Congress. information as to their merits or demerits; but it did say, that the proper tribunal to allow them, under the circumstances, was not the Treasury De- partment, till expressly authorized by Congress, and it did denounce the corrupt and corrupting practice of Senators and Representatives in Con- | gress, and cabinet officers, and heads of bureaus, and clerks at Washington, (though the latter are the most excusable), being concerned in any | claims, just or unjust, indisputable or doub:ful, either as lawyers, agents, counsel, or purchasers, and whether the claims were before Congress, or before departments or bureaus, or ‘‘ boards” there. ‘This was the error inthe Galphin case. And we take this sccasion to remark that with respect to Mr. Corwin, the Herald has not, direstly or indi- rectly, made any charge as to the facts of bis in- terest or bis course, in the Florida cases. ‘The facts have all been furnished by the Republic, the Tribune, the Journal of Commerce, and other presses, mostly administration organs, or claiming to be euch. We took the allegations as made in such papers, and republished them, preferring to do that, to giving statements of circumstances sent to us, less favorable to the Secretary than those which did appear. Our co and *trietures were upon his conduct, as it was represented by his own friends, and we used no language of condemnation that we have yet any reason to regard as barsh or uncalled for. We kaow of nothing in the history of the government, that more deserves repréhension than Mr. Corwin’s conduct, if the facts stated by the “‘ organs” be true. The propriety of his course dows not depend on the justness of the Florida claime, in any degree. The very justifications and defences made in be balf of Mr. Corwin were the most unfavorable facts against bim, commented upon by the Meruld The predicament in which Mr. Corwin found himself on becoming Secretary of the Treasury, the decision of the case in which | counsel, cast upon him by law, and the eourse pursued to shirk out of this difficulty, by reference of the ease to the Secretary ef the Navy and At tormey General, proves our views were sound. But the claimants should not be prejudiced by Mr. Cor- win's connection with one or more of the caves.
