sauson, 10 make u settlement with the
county and pay to IL his indebtedness
which hc proceeded 10 do. Ihirlteh
! thousand and some odd dollars was the
amount due, eight thousand dollars oi
which was in county scrip. We'll,
Mr.. WhittIesey paid in his money aud
scrip, took his receipt In full, and lclt
happy, no doubt, Hut, unfortunately
for him, on Saturday last. n report
made hy Mr.. Till0tt to the county
court, when he was county treasnr-
cr, was accidentally found, and was
being examined out of curiosity
at the same time some of the
officers were counting and asserting
the batch of scrip paid in by Whitlle-
soy, and ms fate would have, n certiti-
cate OF indebtedness for so, payable to
Il. II. Cushing, was lying on top of the
scrip being counted, and was also in
the report. A comparison was made,
and il was found to tally in every re-
spect-date, amount number and all,
and had been paid by Mr.. Pilot. A
close examination was then made and
up to last accounts, near S5,0OO III THIS
cancelled scrip was found to have been
paid in 10y Whittlesey in his settle
ment with the county.
This cancelled scrip, with the cam
celed marks on il was turned over To
Whi.tlesey by Mr.. Pilot when he re-
tired from the treasurer's Office, but
the cancel marks had been removed
from il,
Sheriff Ashe made aiIidavits against
Whittlescy in two eases, ana he was
yesterday morning arrested, and, waiv-
ing examination, was required to give
bond in the sum of ten thousand dol
lars-iive thousand doliarsi in each case.
He was unable to procure but two
bondsmen yesterday afternoon, ana
was given until ten O'Clock this morn
ine to get his bond, remaining IN the
hands of the sheriff until morning. A
search warrant was sued out, and
Whittlcsey's safe searched, in which
was found, We are told, evidence of the
plans of the spoilers in their pilferings.
We will try and get good look at
these documents, and tell what we see,
