FROM WASHINGTON.

JUNE 23.--Gov. Cummings will take
his family with him to Utah, intending to
make the Territory his permanent home.
Col. Jack Hayes, of Texas, now Sur
veyor General of California, will probably
be transferred to Utah in similar CO.
pacity.
Brigham Young has never recognized
the Uuited State Surveys, but claims pos
session of all the soil in Utah. Not one
of the inhabitants hold lands derived by
Government title, and hence even Salt
Lake city itself is open to prescription.
This is one of the perplexities with which
the federal courts in the Territory will
have to deal together with establishing or
confering titles to lands which may be
derived in pursuance of United States
laws 1t is expected that TROOPS and
civil officers will leave for Utah the mid
die of Jnly or first of August. q 1
Col. Richardson having declined the
Governorship of Nebraska, Gov lizard will
return to the Territory and resgme his
duties. u sselaftog
j. II. Oneill has been removed assdis-
triet Attorney for the Southern district of
Ohio, and probably Stanley Matthews
will be appointed in his place. sH

l am, Respectfully,
WM. II GIBSON,

Treasurer.
But it is said: Gibson has now stated
that he was bearing Breslin's burden on
his shoulders-that this statement was all
snam-a lie-a piece of double dyed
rascallty to hide the default of his brother
in-law." And men there are, who profess
to believe this, while they discredit Glib
sons written official statement. That
will not do Officers and courts do not
act thus. This record was made to last.
If it be false-Gibson is damned by it,
If it be true, he is damned any how; by
his attempt to foist the odium on Breslin.
Again, let me refer you to the law pas
sed April llth, 1856, appointing the so--
called Smelling committees Taylor,
Smith, and Sinnet were appointed "to in
vestigate all the transactions of the public
agents who now haye or heretofore have
had, the custody and disbursement Of the
public moneys" Taylor is banker and
lawyer; keen as razor-well posted in
financial matters Smith was chairman
of the House Finance Committee. Sim
net is clever sort of a man, with honest
intentions, no doubt. They came togeth-
er--noses erect and keen as greyhounds
for the scent. They came. They shifted
here--they sniffed there; but they did not
smell over yonder, (pointing to the State
House.) They smelt great smells--took
long smells; but when they approached the
Treasury, they took their noses betwixt
thumb and finger and smelt-never
smell! Why because their Immaculate
noses seemed satisfied that Gibson had
received from Breslin all he had but the
$2l2, 900, and by his statements and re-
ports had given Breslin, whose security
he was an acquaintance!
The above contain the facts as they ap-
pear upon the record. Mr.. Gibson's
annual Report as Treasurer says he re-
ceived the money; Mr.. Chase's Message
says Gibson received the money; Mr..
Gibson's report to the Finance Committee
of the Senate, says that he received the
money, and specifies the several dates at
which it was received and what amount
at each time; the keen-scented smelling
committee reported that Gibson had re-
ceived the money, and finally Gibson
states a,aaer oath that he received the
money. If with, all these evidences
against him the Republicans succeed in
i exhonerating Gibson, they will certainly
deserve credit for ingenuity.

Making s.. .. =. $203,324 IA
over $75, 900 Of which is secured and will
probably be collected, as Mr.. Kelly re-
ported to the Senate; making about
O,0O0--the actual net loss through
Mr.. Breslin's mismanagement. This de-
fcit-if such it be-has been known since
1856. This is not the defalcation which
now starlles our people and calls for this
meeting. This deficit has long since re-
ceived special attention from our journals,
our officers and our legislature. Ibelieve
that the last Legislature properly ordered
a suit to be brought on Breslin's bond for
this deficit.
The rest of the money-the $547, 900
now absent, is not accounted for by hurl-
ing anathemas against this old loss. AH
the rest Of the money-in Breslin's hands,
as appears by the record, Breslin settled
with Gibson for. This settlement is
evidenced by the statement of Governor
Chase, Auditor Wright, Mr.. Gibson him
self and the Committees.
The first of the record evidence is in
Governor Chase's message Of 5th Janua-
ry last. In his statement he deducts only
$225,S19 as never in the hands of the
present Treasurer, Gibson, Gas paid for
exchange, or placed acih repositories scho
hare used the money and hare failed to re-
store 1t to the Treasury"
On the 7th of April, 1856, the Finance
committee of the Senate reported as in
Gibson's hands all that Breslin had had
in his hands, except the specified losses
above referred to. As long ago as the
5th of March, 1856, Gibson gives the
special sums:
Paid to him by Breslin $S36,10l 81
Add to this the special losses 203.324 IA
And it makes 81 ,039,425 II
The only unpaid balance, as found by
the Finance committee was the losses
specifically referred to by Breslin, and part
OF which is secured as have stated.
do not go into these things to screen
any one, or inculpate any one. This is
the record 1t is for you and me to read,
printed for US, that we may know how and
where our money goes.
BY Gibson's own statement in letter (G)
to the Finance Report will be found the
actual condition of affairs. Here is that
statement as I find it in the appendix to
Mr.. Kelly's Report:
