charged and retained by the late Treasurer
as amount paid BY him for exchange during
the four years of his administration, make
up the aggregate named BY us above. Not
any of this money, We beIieye,ha ever been
received into the Treasury. How much Of
il can be recovered from the depositaries or
from Mr.. sBreslin is wholly uncertain. a
large proportion of it is lost without doubt
The whole amount Of the deficit under Mr.
Breslin's administration of the Treasury is
about seten hundred and seventy -fre thousand
dcsidrs.
On the same day after maaing the disclo-
sure, DIR. Gibson left Columbus, for Tiffin,
from whence be did not return till late on
Friday night. In the meantime, and at the
earliest possible moment, Mr.. Wright CON-
munica;ed the state of affairs to the Gov
ernor. A dispatch was sent to the Attorney
General at Cincinnati, requiring his pres
ence, and early on Saturday morning the
Governor ana Fund Commissioners had an
interview with Mr.. Gibson, the result of
which WAS his resignation in the afternoon.
In the meantime. the keys of the safes had
been plac BY Mr.. Gibson in the hands OF
the Governor, who retained them until he
handed them over to Col. Stone, his success
sor, who was appointed Immediately after
the resignation, and proceeded at once 10
obtain the necessary sureties on his bo nd re-
quired by law to be given in the sum of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. with not
less than six sureties. This of course, with
the execution of the bond with the execu-
ton of the bond by the Treasurer and his
sureties, wss the work OF some time. The
Governor did not leave his Office on Srtur-
day evening until all was accomplished =
the bond given, the oath tsken, and the new
Treasurer in his Office.
This morning (Monday) Mr.. Stone on re-
ceiving the keys of the safes from the Gov
ernor. invited Mr.. Dennison and Mr.. Spar
row, late Post Master of Columbus, to be
present at the opening Of them, and to as
sst him in taking an inventory of every
thing found 10 the Treasury. Mr.. Denni-
son has also been appointed by the Govern
or, under the act of last winter, to make in
conjunction with the Auditor of State or
one of his clerks the examination of the
Treasury required, BY that act, to be made
once in three months. Mr.. Morgan, late
Auditor of State. was invited by the Gov
ernor to act with Mr.. Dennison in making
this examination, but being obliged by his
engagements to decline. recommended the
appointment of w. s. V. Prentiss who, we
understand, has consented to act.

Another Fugitive Slave Case-A
Sanguinary Reeounter-A Uni
ted States Deputy Marshal Sc
verely Stabbed, and one of the
Slaves Shot.
Week before last, two slaves, man and
wife, named Irwin and Angeline Broaddus,
the property of Col. C. A. Withers, well
known resident of Covington, KY, and the
Superindent of the Covington and Lexing-
ton Railway, escaped from their master ,and
were not heard of until intelligence was re-
ceived last Friday that they were hidden
somewhere in this city. United States
Deputy Marshals Churchill, Anderson,
Woodward. Elliott, Lowe and Carly, were
on the alert, and on Saturday morning
learned that the slaves were concealed in
room No. ls, in the fifth story of Judge
Tart's building, on Vine street, just above
Fourth. The first story OF this building is
occupied Sy Bly's chronological Bookstore
and Duncan and Innes' periodical establish
ment; the second by Judge Piatt and others
as law Offices, and the upper stories are lei
as lode ing rooms, in one of which, rented
and used by VIM. NJ Connolly, .or somf
months past a local reporter for the Daily
Commercial of this city, the negroes were
secreted.
To this apartment the U. S. Marshal
proceeded, and found No. Is locked. After
knocking at the door and obtained no an
swer, one Of the posse, Jno. C. Elliott
climbed up and peeped through the transom
and said the negroes must be inside. for ht
saw their dinner, "a number of dishes con
tanning food were on a table IN the apart
menD. He then crept partly through tht
aperture over the door and exclaimed: Here
they aren (the negroes it seems, were in I
small apartment adjoining the main one,
and Immediately after half fell and hal
stepped back, saying he was stabbed
At this moment the door was burst open
revealing the negro armed with a sword
cane, and pistol was fred by one of thu
party, wounding the slave, who fell to The
floor. He was Immediately leaped upon BY
the Marshals. and though he made stout
resistance, was disarmed and bound.
This wound of the Marshal is in the lef
breastjust above the heart land OF the negre
in the abdomen. Beth of them are seriousl
injured, and it was thought. on Saturday
they would debut at late hour last nj ight
they were improving, and the probably was
they would recover.
The Slaves ware taken back to Coving
ton without the least opposition after ;

S. Commissioner Newkirk, by whom a war
rant was issued for the arrest of Comelly

Who is the Defaulter?

The subjoined able article from the Co
lunbus Journal, upon the recent defalca-
tions in the State Treasury, will be read
with great interest.
No sooner was the matter published to
the world, than fierce howl was set up BY
Locofoco papers all over the State. Now
we will not attempt defence of Mr.. GLIB
sox, for be has proved himself unworthy the
post he occupied bat we think the cry oi
BLACK Republican corruption" comes with
very bad grace from party that did sup
port and elect JoHN G. BREsLIk, a heavy
defaulter to the office of Treasurer of State
for two terms.
1t will be remembered that at :he time
Mr. BREsLls took charge of the Treasury
efice, the accounts were not correct there
was then, we believe deficit. This deficit
was concealed by Mr.. BREsLIN, probably OF
account of the relations existing betw cen
himself and Mr. BLIss-tAat of brother-in
law. During BBEsL1N's term Of Office thi'
deficit vas largely incressed,-equal, pro-
badly to the amount now reported. Upor
Mr.. GiBsos's accession to the office, Mr.
BREsLIk, also brother.in-law of GIBsoy's
promised to make COED the amount due BY
him to the State, provided he had time to
make the restitution. This time GIBsot
agreed to give him, and he has never, to
THE day paid back one dollar of it, Fhss
il will be seen, that all this time Mr.. GIB.
son has born the weight of this vast load OF
debt, until, the interest on the public debt
falling due in July, he had to show his hand.
Gov. CHASE it will be seen has appointed
Wa. DEsNIsos, ir., and w. S. V. PREkTIss
in conjunction with Auditor WRIGHT, to in
vestigate the matter.
Aside from party interests or individual
feelings, let the whole truth appear. The
People of Ohio demand an investigation
Let all the facts be brought TO light, and
the guilty suffer.
MIR. GiBsos's bond is one Of the best ever
given in the State. BREsLrN's is said to be
worthless.
The Governor has appointed Hon. A. P.
STONE, an old merchant of Columbus, to fiji
the vacancy occasioned by GrBsoK's resig.
nation. This is one of Gov. CHAsE's bes
selections. Mr.. SToKE is good bust Ies'
man, and above all possesses the Jefersoni
an Qualification of "honest, capable ant
faithful"
Taxpayers, here Is the article, read it
and then judge where your money has gone

The announcement made by Us on Satur-
day of the res signation of William II. Glib

by the Governor of A P. Stone to ill the
most, and the defalcation TO the amount OF
nearly Eve hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars ascertained to exist in the State Treas
ury, created, as may be supposed, an excite

a statement more in detail of the facts of
The case.
The interest. upon the State debt, which
falls due on the first of July had to be pro-
yided for and the State Auditor, Mr.. Wright,
had an interview ON Wednesday with Mr..
Gibson in relation TO it. Then it was that
Mr.. Gibson first disclosed the existence OF
the deficit in the Treasury.
MIR. Gibson stated to Mr.. Wright that
when he came into Office he found Mr.. Bres.
lin his predecessor in the Treasury ofiice to
be large defaulter, and that be was in
duced Ebv representations made 10 him by
Bres,iu 10 the effect, THAT if nothing was said
In regard to the default and if time was
oyen him, that the whole deficit would be
made M, and the State would not lose any
thing BY his operations with the State funds
In an evil hour Mr.. Gibson agreed 10 the
proposition made to him by Mr. Breslin,and
from that time until the present be had been
shouideriDg this vast load of debt. The
whole amount of deficit in the Treasury ex.
elusive of the sum of two hundred and TWEEN
ty.6ve thousand eight hundred and nireteer
collars and thirty cents, long since made
public, at the time MIR. Gibson entered upor
his duties, was about FIVE hundred and hity
thousand dollars MIR. Gibson further ststet
that not one dollar of the public funds hat
been taken BY him, or used illegally by hin
since he hsn been in Office, and that the en-

Gov. Walker and Stanton Denoun-
ced at the South-Speech of Keitt.
The following remarks by Keitt, M. c.,
from South Carolina, were delivered at q
public dinner in Cheraw, s. c.:
sHe expressed his want of confidence in
Walker and Stanton, both whom he de-
nounced as unprincipled trading politicians,
who were ready to sell the shareholders in
terest in Kansas for price. He spoke OF
the national Democratic party-of ito want
of principle, and its readiness at all times to
sell the South at any price which would Sc
cure to its leaders the glorious spoils of vic
tory. He said he went with the Democratic
party, but was not of it.
HE spoke of Mr.. Buchanan Said he
had some confidence in his honesty and in
tegrity but feared his power to stem the tor
rent of B lack Republicanism arrayed against
him.
sHe was graphic in his description of the
corrupt scenes TO be witnessed in Washing
ton. How men. fallen from their high es-
tate, paraded the street, filed the lobbies of
the Representative Halls, and thronged
around the Executive Department, with
their price placarded in figures upon their
heads. OF these were Walker and Stanton,
the one Pennsy lvania bankrupt, and the
ether an unprincipled political gambler.
Both had sought and obtained position and
power in Kansas, and were willing to WELD
it at The bidding of the party which would
pay best. Walkers proposition to have a
constitution of the Kansas Convention sub
mitted to the people before it was presented
to Congress with demand for admission
into the Union, he denounced in no meas
ured terms. He said it was unprecedented,
and intended only to restore the State to
Black Republicanism.'
