One word in regard to Gibsoh's attempt
ed explanation. He says that be redeemed
$4,000 OF Breslin's certificates to county
treasurers. Out of what fund.- who supplied
the meansl In February, 1856, when these
county treasurers made their rsettlement with
the Auditor and Treasurer Of State, these
certificates were taken as so much cash, and
became part Of the revenue for that year,
charged 10 the State Treasurer. The
amount is Included in the foregoing state
ment Of the whole amount of the revenue
Of the State, and il has been shown that with
the exception of Breslin's suspended debis
Gibson has accounted for every dollar Of il,
has either paid il, or had it on hand or on
deposit NoV. Is, 1856.
Again, after the time when Gibson be
came responsible for the redemption of
these certificates, be made a statement OF
the condition of the treasury to The finance
committee, by which it appears that he had
on hard or on deposit sufficient for the re.
demptiOn Of them. "a d. 'ils. .15s-, at. a..
On page so of the committees report, is
Gibson's statement of The receipts and dis.
bursemeuts up to March II, 1856, by which
it appears that the whole balance then in
the Treasury, all that ould be chargeabe to
him, was S92l 1891 ,95--and on that duy he
beld the following sums:
Currency .'S252 o45. 90

1t is very certain, therefore, that two
months after Breslin left the cfficc, Gibson
had in the treasury the funds which sbould
have been there if his sworn statement ne
above be true. II he afterwards lent them
to Bresl lin, or any body else, he alone is re
sponsible. .f'a,
