President has managed this subject, they owe

ta Late New Orleans papers contain long
articles in regard TO the lately discovered de.
inlcation of the City Treasurer, Col. William
III. Garland, but the amount of his deprcdu.
tlons is not known. One paper says they
will not fall short of 100000, but that the
city has probably suffered, during his eight
years Of Office, TO the extent of at least a
million OF dollars. Colonel Garland has been
imprisoned in detinl. of bail. Proceedings
have been taken by the city to obtain pos.
session OF al the property owned or supposed
to be owned by him, as some security for his
alleged deInlcaticns. A portion of the press
of New Orleans are underwriting to make
political capital out of the ati'lir, by usnr il
as pretext for assailing the Know Nothing
party. 1t appears, however, that Col. Garland
WAS not at the time of his nomination for
