OHIO, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1851.

All this was done without tho knowl.
edgeof The Auditor Of State aud Mr. Bres.
lin was not required 10 make an exhibit
of the fuuds, thus held in his possession
This was a dangerous liberty TO which
both Auditor Morgan and Gov. Me lill
had repeatedly called the attention Of the
Legislature. These certificates were left
to be redeemed by Mr.. Gibson. He had
scarcely been IN Office fortnight, when
the 6rst one, Of six thousand dollars, was
presented by the Treasurer Of Carroll Co.
This immense sum Of seven hundred and
sixty thousand, six hundred and sixty-sev-
en- dollars, and seventy six cents Mr. Glib.
son has represented all along, as being in
the Treasury when Il actually was not.
Gov. Chase, on assuming the duties Of
his Office, called the attention Of the Leg
islature 10 the wretohed condition Of the
Treasury and the Senate, acting upon his
accommodation, appointed Finance
Committee Of which Alfred Kelley was
chairman, to ascertain aud report "the
amount character and condition Of the
Treasury" Our resders win remember
with what bitterness Mr.. Gibson opposed
this investigation, as not being legal with
out a concurrence Of the House. Il was
thought then by many, that there was a
"uigger in the woodpile." Mr. Gibson
finally yielded aud, on the l4th Of March |
following, gave detailed statement Of the
condition Of the Treasury. In this STATE
ment, the following table appears, Of the
gross and several sums Of money paid him
by John G, Breslin. late Treasurer. on ae
count Of balances due from him:"

ism is openly preached, should be al

This was thought, at the time, to be the
extent Of Mr.. Breslin's defalcation. His
course however was apologised for and
defended by his party, who declared that
this was an accident, Unforeseen and
therefore unavoidable. The people how
ever did not SO decide and consequently.
in the fall Of 1855. NJ Bresl:n was de-
posed aad Wm. II. Gibson elected in his
stead, But before retiring from Office,
Mr.. Breslin, it appears, drew upon and re-
ceiyed from County TreasuFeFs, ostensi-
bly, for the purpose Of meeting the inter
est on the State debt then due, the enOr-
nous sum Of seven hundred and sixty
thousand. six hundred. and siXty-seyer
dollars and sOventy-six cents, This h'
did when. according to Ais OUa books, h,
had money enough 10 the treasury TO NEE

do not show that one cent Of this sum ha
ever been returned 70 the state, although

This is wise provision. which, il it
had been enforced years ago. would have
saved the state at least half million of
dollars.
The above are the principal facts con
nacied with this great swindle. That
they are substantially true. we have not
doubt. They are corroboratsd by the
statement of Mr.. Gibson himself and by
the record. Mr.. Breslin has made no
public denial of them although he has
had ample time 10 do so. What the re-
port of the committee Of investigation,

The money was subjected to actual
count and every dollar was found to be
there as reported. Where Mr.. Gibson
got the money, TO make this showing,
does not ystappesr; but Il Is generally
believed that he effected temporary loans
to meet the exigencies Of the occasion.
Mr.. Gibson has concealed the real state Of
the Treasury until now, and in this he has
done wrong--very wrong. We have not
a word in his defense.
According to a law, passed last winter,
which took effect on the eth of March,
no drafts are made directly upon the State
Treasurer. When the State Treasurer
wishes to draw upon County Treasurers,
he must do it through an order from the
Auditor, as follows:
