dent of the New York Tribune, writes on
the 18th: For some reason or other, yet
to be explained, no satisfaction of these ac-
counts could be procured from the Office Of
State Auditor Of the Treasury, where they
are adjusted, until Friday last, and finally

back is not yet know positively, because the

Holt details this defalcation to his own
satisfaction on Friday. He Submitted the
matter to the President, and required Mr..
Fowler's immediate removal
