MUNICIPAL ELECTION PosTPoNED.-N has
been already mentioned in the Mercury that Gov
Orr had written strong letter to Gen. Candy on
the subject Of postponing the municipal elections.
On Saturday a number of citizens presented pc
tition to the General on the same subject, and the
following order was issued from the headquarters
of this Military District on Saturday afternoon:
General Orders No. 81.
So much of General Orders No. II, Of April
2S, 1868, and the Circulars of May and May IA,
1863 from these headquarters, as provides for the
election of municipal officers in cities and incorpo
rated towns in South Carolina on the I'd of June
next, is hereby revoked and the officers to be
chosen at that election will be only the county Off
GERS named in Paragraph III of General Orders
No. II, above referred to.
We presume that the reason Of the distinction
made between municipal and county elections is
that county officers are regarded as belonging to
the Executive Department of the State Govern
ment, and, according to an order already issued,
will not be allowed to assume the duties OF the
Offices to which they may be elected until after the
State is admitted to representation in Congress.
Then the only oath necessary for them to take, in
order to qualify, will be the oath prescribed by the
constitution recently carried by the forms Of al
election in this State.-ChUleston Mercury

One Of the most painful circumstances connect
ed with the heroic defence Of Charleston, during.
its three years Of SIEGE Is to be found in the fact
that during all this Time there were persons In the
city, 'in nigh ne, who were engaged as spies In
sending information to the besiegers. Drawings,
of the Notifications were furnished, weak points
noted, and the movements Of troops fndicated as
soon as begun; and the feet notified OF the tina
ofarrival and departure Of blockade running yes,
sells. SO cautiously did these emissaries Of the
enemy conduct their work, that SoraI long tmsthel
skill Of the most eminent detectives was bafHedf
in their endeavors to break up the Illicit cores
pondenee. These spies were the source or e1-
treme annoyance to the Commanders In Charles
ton, and the information they were enabled TO fur
nish, often thwarted their best matured designs
upon the enemy. AS proof of the completeness
Of this conspiracy, 1t may be remarked, that the;
Rspg5s tSa se he same day
The author Of "1soLErTE, OR THE FE-
MALE SPY" has taken the principal characters
ling, and well written romance, historic and in
aginafive. The circumstances, Of the story are
detailed as beginning on James Island, and In con:
ments stationed there. After many thrilling ad-.
ventures in which the female spy" figures large
ly, the heroes Of the plot follow their regiment to
Virginia, before the walls Of Petersburg. The
surrender Of General Lees Army in 1855, finds
them again among the santee hills, where thenarS

Sd. He was once convicted, with
much difficulty, when his offense was
of recent commission, and the current
of popular feeling incident to official de-
linquency was strongly against him.
The verdict was set aside. 1t would
be scarcely possible to secure second
conviction against the current of popu-
lar sympathy which the brilliant
achievements of his recent gallantry
has turned in his favor. Whilst the
charge for which he stood arraigned
was yet pending, he was not deemed
unfit to be entrusted by the State with
the high commission Of defending her
institutions and her honor, and of lead
ing her sons to battle. He was the
idolized commander of the gallant
Forty-ninth, whose obstinate courage
contributed so omuch to save the fortunes
of the day at Shiloh, and cut the en-
emy's lines on the bloody field of Stone
River. His brave comrades bad shared
with him the common perils of the con-
flict; they We're entitled TO share the
common glories Of their victory, unsul-
lied by the reflected igIominy which
the conviction of their commander
would shed upon them. Against this
their scars plead ''tFumpet tongued,"
and the appeal was irresistible. As
the Nation was freely psrdoning its
traitors, the State might at least forgive
its patriots. Colonel Gibson's techni-
I cal offence against the public law was
fully Cancelled by the obligations sof
public gratitude. To the heroic sacri-
fees of himself and his companions in
arms, we are indebted for the existence
Of the tribunal through which alone bis
conviction could be wrought, That he
should surrender his commission un-
sullied with dishonor, and return his
sword uutarnished with disgrace, and
secure the felon's reward and the felon's
cell, through the agency of those laws,
whose power to make him their victim,
his blood has contributed to preserve,
was more than l believed the public
sentiment of the State demanded. For
these reasons these prosecutions were
dismissed.

THAT TREASURY DEFALoAr1oN.

lFrOm the NorWalk RefectOr.l
That the report of the treasury de-
falcation being published in the Cop
perhead papers of this district, is par
tizan in its character so far as General
Gibson is concerned, we believe. That
there was a defalcation in the treasury
is true, but it occurred before Gen. G.
came into Office. He receipted for all
the money that was in the treasury as
appeared from the books of the office,
and for that he accounted. But it is no
doubt true, that as he says, large
amount of funds had been received
from the county treasurers by his pre-
decessor or predecessors, that did not
appear on the books. Whatever of de-
falcation there was, occurred before
Gen. G. came into Office, and it was
only by his evidence before the grand
jury, that case could be made out at
all. When the matter came to light,
Mr.. G. was in New York, with $780,
900 of the State's money in his pocket
As treasurer of State be could have OBJ
tanned tens of thousands more, with
which he could have stepped on board
a steamer and gone to Europe, as many
COpperhead, under similar circum-
stances, had done before him. But no;
like an honest man, he returned at once
to Ohio and paid over the money that
was in his hands, belonging to the
State. The truth is, the treasury was
robbed before Gen. Gibson came into
office, but so cunningly had it been
done that it was not discovered, and he
was made the ''scape-goat" for the
wrong doing of others. This is the
substance of the matter as we under
stand it.
II is said he was tried and convicted.
Yes, but the verdict was set aside by
democratic" Court, which granted
him a new trial, and reduced the
amount of bonds. Below we give what
Attorney-General West says, when he
nollied the proceeding. 1t may be
found in the volume of Executive Docu.
ments for 1865, pages $40 and 52l:
The prosecutions SO long pending
against Colonel Gibson were discon,
tinued during the last summer. Several
reasons combined to induce this action.
Ist. His offence was technical, rather
than of moral turpitude. The chief
ground of accusation against him was
the unauthorized application of the
bonds deposited with him as Treasurer
of State, to secure the circulation of
the Seneca County Bank, 10 the pay
ment of the interest on the State debt.
No evidence could be discovered that
any pecuniary advantage resulted to
him personally from the transaction.
I'd. His delinquency was the fruit of
generous but fatal friendship. His
kinsman and predecessor, Bresln, had
proved defaulter to large amount
In his. efforts to conceal the financial
embarrassment of the State, and pre-
vent the ignominions exposure of his
kinsman, until promised restitution
should be made, Colonel Gibson be
came himself the victim. Criminal
proceedings against the chief offender
were discontinued by Mr.. Critchfeld.
It would be exceedingly hard that he
60 unwhipped of justice, and his victim
alone suffer,
