DEFALCATION!-THE
State Treasury Minus $550,OO0.!

The Republican Treasurer Resigned!!!
The above announcement contains graf
flying intelligence to the taxpayers OF
Ohio. The State Journal and other ex-
changes put down the deficit at $%55O,0O0!
On the 18th inst, William II, Gibson,
the present Republican State Treasurer,
resigned his Office, and it was found that
$550,000 was missing! Mr.. Gibson charg-
es the whole fraud upon his predecessor,
Mr.. Breslin. A committee consisting Of
VIM. Dennison, jr., of Columbus, and the
State Auditor, has been appointed by Gov.
Chase to investigate the whole affair. As
both members of the committee are Re.
publicans, and both will probably be can.
d,dates soon, it will be nothing more than
is expected if they undertake to white.
wash Glbsons part of the transaction.
There are a few pertinent questions We
would ask without waiting for the commit
tees report. If the fraud was all Mr.
Breslin's, why did Gibson keep it covered
up for eighteen months after becoming
treasurer? If the fraud was all Breslin's
why did Gibson resign as soon as it was
discovered? Why did he not stand up and
face the music, and not draw suspicion or
himself by resigning? If the fraud wa:
committed near two years ago by Breslil
why did not the long nosed smelling com
mittees of the late Legislature ferret il
out? If the fraud was all Breslin's, why
did Gibson on taking the Office recelptf !
all but the 5000, 600 which was then known
to he lost? Why did Mr.. Gibson state un'
der oath to o committee of the Legislature
that call was right in the Treasury De
partment except what was publicly chafg
ed to Mr.. Breslin?"
What was publicly charged to Mr.
Breslin," was the 5000, 600 which he de
posted in banks which failed The
$55O,O0O now found wanting are in ad
dltiou to that, and Mr.. Gibson eitheI
swore falsely to the committee, or he il
responsible for it's loss.
We would not excuse Breslin; so fal
are we from it, that we would rejoice t.
see him punished severely for suffering thu
State to be swindled. What became o
the $3.50, 00O-whether it has gone ives
to speculate in lands, or lines the pockets
of some swindling banking concern, is no
yet known. Gibson is some place in tht
west, and A. P. Stone, of Columbus, ha'
been appointed as his successor.
Our State has been ~singularly u%nfortu
nate of late years in her Treasurers. Bliss
the last wing Treasurer sunk 100000
in the Columbus Insurance Company
Breslin, the late Democratic Treasurer de,
posted 5000, 900 in some Cincinnati bank
ing concern that blowed out; and now
Gibson the first Republican Treasurer, has
$3.50, 900 to account for. This should be
a warning to every party to select none
but men of indisputable capacity and in
tegrity for so responsible a position
Whether any of the lost money a ever
be recovered is not yet developed.

Burning of the Steamer Louisiana,

The New Orleans papers brings US the
particulars of the burning of the steamer
Louisiana, eight miles from Galveston,
Texas; at one o'clock on the morning of
Sunday, the 31st ultimo., by which a num-
Der of lives were lost. We copy the fol-
lowing:
G. W. Grover, a passenger, says that
he had a berth on the starboard upper
deck; that the first alarm was persons as
king where the fire was at about one o.
clock; he stepped out of his room and saw
smoke, but no fire; passed round the stern
to the larboard side, where he saw from
twelve to twenty persons preparing to
launch the quarter-boat, a moment after
the fame burst up amidship; returned to
the starboard side; saw a few lowering
down the quarter boat on that side; went
to his state room, picked up his shoes and
coat and returned, and slid down with 9TH
ers into the boat on the larboard side; the
engines were still running, but fortunate
ly the boat was lowered down without fiji.
ling.
After getting adrift they looked to dis
cover if they could find any person to take
on board, but could see nobody There
were twelve in the boat, all passengers ex.
cept the second mate. Mr.. G. learned from
one on the boat that the tiller rope mus,
have brokcn-was probably buried off
in consequence of which the steamer was
unmanageable at the commencement OIL
the fire. The first efforts of the captain
and officers appeared to be to reach the
fire engine, but did, not succeed. All com
part Of the boat was cut off by the fire
which must have broken out near the fur.
mace.
The larboard boat was being launched
when he went into the other. He saw
persons on the forward part of the steamer
throwing things over, apparently the
h%atchdoors, &C., for the purpose Of saving
themselves. The working of the engine:
caused the steamer to leave the boat rap,
idly, so that those in the boat were unable
to see or hear anything distinctly. The
boat landed on the beach, neal the poin'
about sunrise, where Mr.. Grover landed
fifteen years ago on his return from thu
Santa Fe expedition.
Charles II. Hughes, the purser, confirms
Mr. Growers statement as regards thu
origin of the fire, which broke ont in thu
fire room twenty minutes past one.
He states that the passengers were al
asleep when the fire broke out; that thu
larboard boat capsized; and thinks some
six or eight persons were lost at that time
Mr.. FL. and the engineer Mr.. Finn, jump
ed overheard upon the hatchdoor, which
they had thrown over.
The Galveston Herald has the following
particulars.
The body of Col. cambridge, Of thu
q. S. A., is on board the pilot-boat La
fayette, together with five others. The
Lafayette saved three persons.
1t appears from the best data that WI
can collect that there were 104 souls or
board of the Louisiana, 40 of whom are
accounted for and SIS are missing.

A U. s. Marshall and Slave woundes

Intense excitement a produced yes
terday by a terrible tragedy in the build
ing adjoining the Gazette Office, arising
from the attempt of the United States Dep
uty Marshalls to arrest two fugitives be-
longing to a gentleman residing in Coving-
ton, which resulted in the dangerously,
and perhaps martally wouuding of j. G.
Elliott, one of the Deputy Marshalls, by
the negro man, and the shooting of the
negro, who was also probably wounded
mortally. The slaves were captured and
sent back.--Gin Eng.

Practical Democracy.

In the early part of the year 1855, 9
white individual named Breslin entered
the State Treasury of Ohio. and stole
therefrom the enormous sum of Fire Hun,
dred and Fifty Thousand Dollars Of the
Peoples money. He managed to con.
ceal bis crime for years, until it was dis
covered under Republican Administra-
ton. Heis now a fugitive from justice,
and it is said is residing at Windsor, Can
ada West. opposite Detroit. His law
yers say there is no law to compel him to
return. Breslin was a leader in the
Democratic party. and it may be infer
ed that he carried out the principles OF
the party.-State Journal.
