Another Great pefau1ter.

The telegraph has announced the ex-
posure of a great crime committed by
the book-keeper of the Union Bank,
New York, who is a dcfaulter to the
amount of 500, 00o. His name is Hen
ry r. Brotherson, and he has absconded.
Suspicious we're first aroused by the re-
port of a Police Officer to the Officers
of the Bank, that Brorherson was a reg
ular visitor to a gaming house and staked
aud lost large sums of money.
The New York Express, in speaking
of the matter, says:
The history of the transaction is not
yet developed with sufficient clearness
or certainty to justify the public journ-
ais going much into detail,-but enough
seems to be known to warrant the con
~clrsion hat the person principally i'm
plicated has been engaged in one of the
most astonishing financial performances
of the day His operations, it would
appear, have been prosecuted with sig
nal success for a long series of years
past in connection with a confederate,
not attached to the Bank, in any official
capacity, but holding relations with it as
one OF Its regular customers. The de-
f%aulter, we are further Informed, has
been in the employ of the Bank for the
long period o twenty-five years. He is
a man of family, a@.d resides in the up
per part of the city. His position in
the institution was that of a book keeper,
and his operations have been prosecuted
by permitting his confederate to over
1ro nv bic ,aoonDtc ood in trrp notip~
his balances agree with the general ledg-
er SO accurately and regularly, that sus-
picion was never directed towards him.
We see by the Times hat Jacob H.
Mott, a broker, reputed wealthy, has
been arrested as the accemplice; he
having drawn out from said Bank $780,

seneca County Bank Bills.

The notes of this Bank. as we learn,
have b en- refused by the State Treasur-
er. and no provision is now made for
their payment. Large amounts appear
to be still N circulation, and the loss
and sacrifice must fall chiefly on those
least abe to bear it
The notes of the Canal Bank are also
worthless. the Agents of the State hav.
ing defrauded the honest bill holder
who has looked TO the securities pledged
with its officers for payment.
Cannot our Legislature at once make
provision for paying the REISSUES of
Bank notes thus secured and purportiDg
to have been burned by the State off
GERS. That the State is clearly liable
there can be no doubt. Should an in
dividual or corporation thus be guilty
of fraud through its agents, they would
be held responsible. AS a matter of
equity and justice, the State should
come promptly forward and assume the
payment of these notes. Unless. some
law can be devised to insure the actual
burning of notes thus returned to the
Treasury, and for the safe keeping of
State Stocks pledged for their redemp-
ton, confidence in this class of ~circula-
ting notes must be greatly shaken.
No one doubts the high integrity of
our present State officers, but learning
wisdom from the past, we ought certain
ly to make such provision for the future
as shall render such issues entirely cafe
and free from suspicion CleUeland

The Columbus correspondent of the
gainesville Telegraph. in a letter dated
March 9th, relates the following
A nice little "sceno" took place at
the Penitentiary on Saturday afternoon
-of which / will try to give the read
ers of the Telegraph some notion. A
ew years since there was sent to that
institution from Hamilton county, for a
long term If years, on the charge OF
burglary, an old Polish exile; an old
man who had fought bravely for his
country and liberty. In this land of
strangers, and with no friends, the old
man had never for a moment entertained
the idea of release, and patiently was
t%oiling through his weary months
Some facts have recently come to light,
as 1 hear the rumor, showing that the
old man was not guilty of the crime
charged upon him. At any rate, the
Governor decided upon his pardon
and Saturday afternoon, Gov. Chase's
daughter, a fair and noble girl of seven
teen or eighteen summers-and who in
her person proves that the generally ac-
copied truth that "great men never have
great sons" does not reach to daughters
takes the pardon and makes her way
to the Prison. Without minimizing her
mission she desires the Warden to ask
the old Polander, whose name 1 have
now forgotten, to come to the sitting
room. The old man, his head white
with the accumulated burden of years
and trouble, was not long in answering
tha enmmons for who Ihouoht he in all
this world could ask for him. The par
don was put in his trembling hand Oil
then the joy-I+w as-aHso so unexpected
and came through such hands! The
old hero fairly capered for joy. He
could scarcely find words among his
broken English, through which to tell
his tbankfulness. Ah, it was a blessed
scene for those who had the joyful privi-
lege of looking on. The fair and mod
est heroine, 1 know, will shrink from
this public recital; but one ,nnot we'll
forbear telling SO beautiful an event.

MURDER IN GREEN CoUNTY.-Thc
Dayton Journal" of the Goth ult.. has
an account of a deliberate and evidently
premeditatcd murder in the village of
Bedrock, in Greene county, on the Sat
urday previous. The victim was John
Stanton, the murderer Andrew Kirby.
Kirby, who is a married man and the
father of FIVE or six children, had been
for a number of years jealous of his wife.
and abused her so brutality as to cause
her to leave him several times. A few
weeks ago Kirby's wife again left bin,
and went to live with her father.
On Saturday evening Kirby entered
the house of his father-in-law, where
were present his wife and Stanton, two
or three neighboIs, and tae members of
the household, engaged in pleasant con-
~versation. Stanton sat in ono corner Of
the room, looking at a book, while Kir.
by's wife sat on tbs stairs, behind two
of the men. Kirby stood by the stove
a few minutes, apparently laboring IN
der much excitement. SudGenly he ad-
yanced towards his wife, who iald him
to keep off, as she did not desife his
company. He replied, ''perhaps she
didn't" and turning away, went bach to
the stove. In a moment afterward he
advanced toward Stanton and plunged a
knife into his side, showing it in with
both hands, and leaving it sticking in
the body.
He exulted in the act, and said he
was only prevented from killing his wife
also, 10y the two men who were In the
room. The wife is highly esteemed.
and has given no couse for the jealousy
of her husband.

He reports that there is no snow in the

He came by the route known only to

horsemen in single file can pass the army
undiscovered. The route passes between
perpendicular rocks for thirteen milos,
ard in mauy places it is only three feet
wide. 1t is completely covered by a
rock roof.
The Mormons are manufacturing small
