Subtracting this amount from $72s,749-
81, (the balance shown in the foregoing ab-
tract) we have the sum of$574,112 SO which
is not accounted for, and which is, therefore,
the real amount of the dcfalcation. The
balance of $4,000 due on the claim against
Beckcl we consider secured, and have, there
fore, included it among the cash assets in
the Treasury, and turned it over to the pres
ent Treasurer of State as such. Since the
commencement of this investigation, Mr.
Beckel has paid on the claim the sum Of
$4,000. There is no doubt but that the
whole of the balance will ultimately be paid
He still owes tho State the sum of $7s5 AS
which has not been secured, and which j:
included in the foregoing statement oftht
amount of suspended debt" in the hands o
repositories.

Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1857-08-28

The account shows an excess of $20,302
of stocks over the amount actually on de-
posit in the Treasury.
We have no reason to suppose that the
circulation exceeded the securities for its
redemption, but We have not the means of
ascertaining the true state of this branch of
the account.
The transactions of the Treasury with
this Bank since the sale of its stocks in 1854
and 1855, are fully exhibited iu the follow

The object of the foregoing statement is
simply to ascertain the deficit in the public
funds on the 18th of June. No notice has,
therefore, been taken of the fact that several
of Mr.. Breslin's repositories failed, with
money of the State in their hands, which
has not since been paid or secured. The
names of these repositories and the amounts
in their DossesSion. arc as follows.

On the books of the office Mr.. Gibson has
credited himself with the payment Of 97,-
IS to the Clerk of the Department, for sal
airy previous to December, 1855. There is,
however, no voucher for the credit on file,
nor any other evidence of his having paid
it. We have therefore omitted it in our
statement of the account.
