With all these resources at bis com.

There was no obstacle to the use of the

Gibson, 350,54S SO
The act of 1916 authorized the Treas
urer of State to call upon County Treas
urers to deposit in advance of their Feb
ruary settlements: Mr. Breslin was not
backward in avaling himself OF the pow
ers conferred on him by that law. The
County Treasures were liberal in their
deposits. In 1856 he refunded to them
61,827 40, which they had paid above the
amount of taxes due from their counties
to the State. At the annual statement in
1856, Mr.. Gibson refunded to them an
excess of 44,1S3 SO, which had been de-
posted with Mr., BresIin previous to bis
retiring from office.
WHO IS THE DEFAULTER
The evidence against Mr.. Gibson con.
sists of acknowledgements made by him
to public officers and CO mmittees of the
Legislature in his official character and
under the solemnity of bis official oath
There is nothing in the testimony of the
witnesses indicating that he had embez-
zled the public funds. Though we have
made diligenti inquiry we have found no
trace of any investments made by him
beyond what his private pecuniary resour-
ces would justify.
The books of the office do not show
that any portion of the balance due to the
State from Mr.. Breslin has ever been paid
to Mr.. Gibson, or that any funds were ev-
er placed in his hands to redeem out
standing certificates to county treasur-
ers.
In his settlement with county treasur-
ers in 1856, Mr.. Gibson received the GER
tiicates of deposit or receipts issued by |
Mr.. Bresin, and charged himself with |
them as cash in his account with the sew
eral classes of revenue. The act of 1916
required the county treasurers to make
their deposits to the State Treasurer, and
prescribed the time and manner of making
them.
They had been made in exact eonformi-
ty with the provisions of the statute. 1t
was not, therefore, competent for him to
pronounce them illegal, or refuse to cred.
it them on the account of the several par
ties to whom they~had heen issued.
In the Settlement Book" these certifi
Gates are marked with the identical mark
Or full name of Mr.. Breslin.
Mr. Gibson has kept his accounts and
made his reports in manner which i'm.
,ied that Mr.. Breslin had paid in full the
1aance due from him to the State. He

Total amount 836,I01 81
This includes ALL that have received
from the late Treasury to this date.
There is yet outstanding $4,000 of lis
certificates, held by the Treasurer of
Hamilton county.
In the gross receipts, I have included
the redemption fund of the Canal Bank
Of Cleveland.
I am respectfully,
W. H. GIBSON,
Treasurer.
In a statement Of the conditien Of the
Treasury submitted by him to the Joint
Committee on the 18th Dec. last, the
balance due from Mr.. Breslin, exclusive Of
the suspended debt of 2o4,636 65 is said
to be $500 90, which it was understood
Mr.. Gibson was willing to assume, and
for which he was liable to account.
The 9th Section of the act supple
mentary to the act prescribing the duties
of the Auditor and Treasurer Of State, re-
lative to the receipt, disbursement and safe
keeping Of the public money and account.
ing for Them" is as follows:
"1'be Treasurer shall, during tie first
ten days Of each month, make out and
publish in at least two daily and weekly
of general circulation, printed
in the city of Columbus, an abstract ex-
hibiting the true condition of the Treasury
and it shall have existed on the first day
Of the month; which abstract shall set
forth the amount of money actully in
The Treasury at Columbus, the amount Of

,es of debt held by the Treasurer, speci.

had been silent about any deialcatiOn Of
bis predecessor. His silence raises the
presumption Of payment. The legitimate
inference, under ordinary circumstances
would be, that the indebtedness had been
fully discharged; but 10 the financial trans
actions Of the Ohio State Treasury, such
reasoning would be illogical.
Mr.. Bliss transferred all the balance due
from bis predecessor to bis books. vet II Is
well known .sst ..si:st u har. Whitehouse, without
authority Of Law, .s.s;ii .S.siasa i 900 Of these
balances. 1t is true, and but justice to
Mr.. Whitehouse to say, that upon close
scrutiny Of his accounts, this sum has
been found really due and has been allow
ed to him.
BY the same process Of book keeping,
Mr.. Breslin concealed a deficit Of $4,000
for his predecessor He not only conceal.
ed it, but in response to a resolution Of the
Senate ayered that Mr.. Bliss had paid
over to him the balance which appeared
on the book Of the department. 1t has
been the uniform practice Of successive
Treasurers to carry forward the balances
due from their predecessors without regard
to the fact Of payment. The manner
in which the books Of the Office have been
kept, docs not therefore prove that MI.
Breslin furnished Mr. Gibson with means
with which to redeem outstanding certif-
Gates, or paid him any portion of the put
lie funds in his hands at the expiration Of
his official term.
The statements Of Mr.. Gibson, made
on numerous occasions, in his official
character and over his official signature
make a very strong case against him.
In letter of March l4th 1856, ad.
dressed to Mr., Kelley, chairman of the f.
nance Committee of the Senate, he says:
MY predecessor has provided means from
time to time to meet these certificates, and
but 10000 are now outstanding; when
he fails to place me in finds, | will re-
refuse to receive these illegal certif-
Gates"
The certificates issued BY Mr.. Breslin
in 1855, amounted to 76O,7l5 80. The
foregoing statement is equivalent to an
acknowledgement Of the receipt Of $780,
6l5 20 at that date.
In an official statement Of the condition
of the Treasury (which has not been pub
lished, but which is in our possession) fur
nished by him to the same committee, he
acknowledges that he had received from
his predecessor in office, up to the 10th Of
February, 1856, the sum 5C9605 10.
His letter of the 29th Of March, is more
explicit and uuequivocal than either OF the
preceding statements. 1t is perhaps the
strongest item Of evidence against MIR.
Gibson. which has been submitted to our
consideration. 1t is so specific, minute
and circumstsnciaI in its character that
we deem it proper to give it in full. 1t is
as follows:

Zimmerman, the Millionaire.

Samuel Zimmerman, who was killed by
the Great Western Railroad accident, was a
native of Huntington county Pa, but for
some time resided at Niagara Falls, owns the
Clifton House. and at the time of his death
was estimated to be worth at least million
Of dollars. Mr.. Zimmerman, less than twen-
ty years ago worked at his trade. which We
believe, was that of blacksmith, in the cen.
trail part of this State. He, however, pulled
up stakes one fine morning, turned his face
towards the setting sun, and his family in
Pennsylvania lost sight Of him entirely. In
the meantime younger brother, by frugaiy
taking care of his earnings, was enabled to
start coach line between Spruce cIeek and
Williamsburg, consisting of four wheeled
vehicle and two horses, which he drove him.
SELF Several wears ago gentleman stopped
at Spruce creek and desired to be driven to
Williamsburg, but there being no other pas
senger the proprietor of the Aforesaid 'line''
at first objected. He nevertheless consented
and when the stranger got out he handed him
instead of the usual fair-three dollars
three hundred dollar bill. This began to oper
Bills eyes to the importance Of his passenger
and he soon discovered that he was no other
than his brother Sam, SO disguised in goot
clothes that thirty miles ride had not unde
ceived him. Subsequently the now wealthy
bunker bought his poorer brother a farm
