Tho Great Defnlcation.

We give below a statement made by the
late Treasurer Gibson through the Tiffin pa.
per to his moro immediate home-friends,
yet Of course as directly connected with the
astounding breach of faith in the Treasury
department, the statement possesses gene
raj interest. In this statement Mr. Gibson
AYERS investigation will show that not O
dollar of the public money has been lost
through his mismanagement, but that the
whole defalcation occurred previous his as
suming the duties of Treasurer. The San
dusky Commercial Register says that "M
Gibson made the same statement verbally
some days ago, and it has been suffered tc
go uncontradicted, though the person upon
whons IL Mrows the responsibility is al
hand, and would, VIC may suppose contra
dict it, could he do so successfullv."
We give Mr. Gibson's statement as fol.
lows:
