THE STATE TREAsURER.-We learn from
the Richmond State Journal of yesterday even
ing that Governor Kemper, at noon yesterday
DISPATCHED communication to the office OF the
State Treasurer, directing Raleigh Colston esq.,
chief clerk in the Office Of the Treasurer, to
take charge of the Office as treasurer ad interim
and exercise the functions of the Office until
further orders. The Journal says: There are
MANY rumors and painful surmises atioat rela-
tive to the whereabouts aud intentions OF Col.
Joseph Mayo, jr., the Treasurer. lie has not
been seen OF bis Office since. Wednesday, when
his testimony as member of the Board OF
Sinking Fund Commissioners was:glveu IN the
Hastings Court on the trial of Coleman. 1t is
possible and highly probable that Col. Mayo
who is hight toned man, of a peculiarly sensl-
tive organization, may have deemed himself
inculpated by the testimony given on that oc-
casion, and gone off in fit Of mental alteration.
Some of his friends assert that be is 10 Baltl-
more tracing up the history of some of the
bonds alluded to in the testimony given against
Coleman. His absence at this particular juno
ture is peculiarly unfortunate, and as painful
to his friends as it possibly could be to him. >
Since the above, we learn by telegraph that
Col. Mayo has returned to Richmond, and
been arrested. His condition is reported as
wretched, and it is said he is out OF his mind.

on target during the day. They were arrested
