A Columbus correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette says that the Treasury investigating
Committee have made thorough overhauling
of the Treasnrer's books, and have prepared a
statement showing that the defalcation amounts
to S7aS.6sl. Breslin, and he alone, is the pee
ulator; the offence of Gibson, the Republican
Treasurer, consisting solely in concealing the
.hcft; and he AYERS that his motives we're to
protect his own and the States interests. The
account says:
He (Gbson) was personally liable on his bond
for $3.50, ,OOo-his dearest friends in Seneca Co.,
many of them induced to become SO by himself,
were also Bresns securities. On learning OF
his predecessor d.falcation, he deemed il to
be his and their interest to save him and them
from loss. For the interest of the State he
deemed it best 10 conceal it and obtain as much
Of the money back as he could by carrying the
load on his own shoulders. Fatal determine
ton. He claims that not dollar Of the money
of the State has been used Illegally, or misappli-
ed by him, but that the chances are that the
three hundred and three thousand dollars OBJ
,aiued from Brcslin by him, would not other
wise have been brought into the Golfers Of the
State. BY his exertions he claims that 6fty
thousand dollars was secured Of Breslins sus
pended debt from Dayton Bank, of the Beckel
claim, part OF which has been paid. Tha. Mr..
Bresln would have, if then exposed, left imme-
di.,ely for Canada, and that he relied upon bis
personal influence with Bresin, ana confded in
his promises, and carried the load he did until
it crushed him."
Much OF the p.under was expended by Breslin
in doing the work of the Democratic party, OF
which he was faithful and jealous member.--
The SUN Of Sl0, 900 is said to have been expend-
ed in Maryland, TO keep in existence the charter
Of n bank in which he exploited" From $780,
600 to 100000 is said to have been lost in
gambling, ebout the time the National Demo-
cratic Convention met, by parties with whom
Bresln was connected. The hotel and other
hll.s of the "Miami tribe" OF Democrats arc also
SUPPOSED to have been paid out of Breslins
sae;,.gs. The rogue is now in Windsor, Cana
da, with his family, and means to remain there.
Gibson is under bonds of $4,000 to appear at
the Franklin County Court in October.
ROLLINS ON BACHELoRs.-The following is q
specimen Of the free and easy style with which
Rollins, the opposition candidate for Governor
in Missouri, has been addressing the people Of
that State. There is a genuine sparkle Of humor
and genius in his speeches that show him to be
no ordinary man; and although he may be
beaten now, he will be heard from again. The
extract ia in the best vein of Western stump
speaking:
All lhave to say is this, if you should elect
me Governor, think the administration Of the
State, and the City Government, under my friend
Winner, will 20 on harmoniously and swimming
ly together. will avail myself of his services
in advancing the interests Of the State. Ii

twelve long years, and had failed. Laughter.
