THk TREASURY DEFrcIT-0sr confrere OF the
Times IN his evening edition, makes ssweepins
assertion. in the matter OF the alleged oetslcauon
in the city treasury, against the subordinates OF
that Office. This assertion, made, no doubt, from
inform alton received from Mr. Mount, the new
treasurer, duplicates the integrity OF htteen or
twenty gentlemen, lately subordinstes OF hr.
Howell, the retiring treasurer, but removed by
the present incumbent. That circumstances tend
TO show deficit in the sairs OF the city treasury,
or at least a dssimilsrity between the balance on
the treasury books and that on the controllers,
there is little reason to doubt; but II is exceed-
ipgly unjust that " the ordnates"-numbering
fifteen or twenty citizens Of excellent Standing
should he so sweepnely charged with comphciy
in the disappearance OF the money missed, when
il is so easy 20 DIX upon the guilty parties, II guilty
there are. We trust our contemporary will recog-
nize the justice of our remarks, and make the de-
sir ed correction.
