letter OF the tho third instant. | 70.
gret exceedingly that Mr.. Breslin
has not repaid the account advansed
by us to meet the July intereat.
We can, Of course, place no
reliance on the Treasurer of State,
after what has so recently occurred;
and this disables from advertising,
for il stock should be offered upon
our terms, we might at any moment
find ourselves unable to make the
payments.

In October it seems tha. the mon
ey taken from the sinking fund to
cover up tho Treasurer's deficit had
not yet been replaced. The elect
ions were then at hand; Morgan,
running on tho same ticKGt With With
Breslin. with full knowledge that the
treasury had boen robbed of hall a
million-and every state officer on
the Democratic ticket, from Cover
nor to Attorney General, implicated
in the same guilty knowledge. Did
they not by this act become acces
sores to Breslin's crime, if never bc.

Morgan began to get his sinking
fund in order, preparatory to the
change that was then o,ninous. In
September he began to try to draw
some money out Of Breslin, to make
up the deficit. He made draft on
Breslin for $50, 900 and sent it to
EIgerton for collection, with in
structions to protest it if not paid
promptly. 1t docs not appear that
Edgcrton did this. He first wrote
Breslin to remit the money to New
York, and Breslin failing to do this,
he forwarded the draft to w. &.
Deshlcr, OF the Clinton Bank of Co.
lumbur, who took the pay in t,aps-
as he calls them, at various times,
and the whole was not paid till No
vember fifth, forty six days after it
was drawn.
