GOVERNOR LYON, OF IDAHO, IN
ARREARS.

Publication was recently made that CALEB
LYON, Of Lyonsdale, New York, who has
been Governor Of the Territory Of Idaho for
several years past, while on his way to this
city from New York, in the night train, was
robbed Of the sum Of forty-seren thousand
dollars, Government funds, which he held as
Superintendent Of Indian Affairs Of that Ter
ritory. Governor LYON says he put the sum
Of money named in belt, (which for pro-
lection sake should be worn around the
body,) but that when he laid down in the
sleeping car he put the belt under his head !;
that the thief took the money and left the
belt exactly where the Governor put it. To
say the least, this was q consderate thief who
put the belt back under the Governors head.
What makes the statement about the loss Of
the money seem very strange is the fact that
Mr.. Lyon should have allowed himself to
bring such large amount Of money upon
his person to this city. There was no occa-
sion for it. He could have deposited it in
any Government depository and taken GER
ti6cate therefor, the stealing Of which would
not necessarily have subjected him to the
loss Of the money.
II will appear by the record, we under
stand, that since July 2s, 1864, the Govern.
ment has advanced to Superintendent LYON,
at different times, about one hundred thou.
sand dollars, for which, we learn, he has
never rendered any account whatever. There.
fore Governor LYON will not only have to
account to the Government for the $47 ,00O
taken from the belt under his head, but for
the still larger sum named above, the dis
bursement Of which there is no official detail
rendering at the Department. We certainly
hope Governor LYON will make satisfactory
settlement Of the financial affairs Of his ad
ministration in Idaho, reference to which We
thus allude to publicly because the subject
is public one, and will probably be brought
before the courts at an early day.

BosroN, Dec. 2l.-The Common Council
held o long and important session last even
ing. The committee on the South Boston
flats, after seven months consideration Of the
subject, presented voluminous report, ia
voring the filling up Of large area Of the
fats between the city proper and South Bos-
ton and Castle Island, The city limits will
thus be increased one-third or more in area,
and an immense amount of taxable property
added, including hundreds of wharves. II Is
thought that the United States Government
will also occupy some portion for navy yard
purposes. The peninsula Of South Boston
would thus lose its present shape, and por-
tions Of it become almost the heart Of the
city. It is estimated that the cost Of the
improvements will be about 81 ,000, 900. :. Or
