New. York, Nov. 23.-L. J. There's
son, Of the law firm of Theresson &
Bryan, of'No. 10 Pine street. WAS ar
rested to-day upon orders issued in two
civil suits against him in the supreme
court, in which he is charged with the
embezzlement of large sums of money
belonging to Zabriskie s7 Tate. amounts
ing to upwards of $l30. coo Tor the past
Is years. Theresson had the entire
control of the property Of the late Mrs.
Marcellus. mother of Mrs. .Zahriskie, and
such was the confidence reposed in bim
that up t9 the time of her death in Sep
tember last, he was never called upon
to make any statement Of moneys. In
making her will. he was named as one
of the executors. The reluctance with
which he forwarded the probate of the
will and secured papers of administra-
tion Of his CO. executor, A. G. Zabriskie
first attracted attention of the family.
When asked for an accounting by Mrs.
Zabriskie. Theresson stated that he had
lost all the vouchers for the first fifteen
years. and when further questioned ad-
mitted his indebtedness to the estate in
the sum of $40, 200. This led to an in
vestigation. from which it was found
that Theresson had appropriated at least
100000. Money entrusted to him by
Mrs. Zabriskie, amounting to $50, 900,
has also been appropriated by There's
son. In the FIRST suit, brought by A. G.
Zabriskie, bail was fixed at 500 900,
and 10 the second suit, brought by Mrs.
Zabriskie, bail was fixed at ths same
amount. Being unable to obtain it,
Theresson was locked up in Ludlow
street Jail. Theresson was promi-
nent member of the church of Incarna-
tior, and superintendent of its Sunday
school, and stood well in social circles.
CHICAGO. Nov. 22.-The Inter- Ocean s
Washington special says: Death and
treason have so reduced the Republican
majority in the senate that yesterday
for the first time since March, 1861, it
was in the grasp of one man. In the
absence of Sharon, the Republican ma
jority is three. Patterson left to avoid
voting. and Conover voted with the
Democrats on the proposition for an ex-
ecutive session in bold, loud ave :"
that caused on interchange of expressive
looks around the chamber. Conover,
Patterson and Davis will vote with the
Democrats, and Butler will be seated,
but not this session, as the ten days will
be exhausted in debate. Senators Cam.
eron and Christiancy have ready their
review of Buffers record as a negro
murderer and will now present it as
from the committee who went to South
last winter. One of their facts
which should vitiate Buffers election
is, that the assembly which elected him
bad only seven members. Patterson's
excuse for voting with the Democrats
is that their persecution of him will
stop. Conover's excuse is a sad COM
on the presidents policy, and
it is that he owns property in Florida
and dare not 60 back there to live upon
It unless he does something to counter>
lct his record as radical, and concili,
stes the Democrats. This will be
called to the attention of the president.
Gordon and Lamar, the men he coun-
sells with, are men who thus threaten
Jonover. This vote will have more ef-
ect in harmonizing Republicans among
themselves and with the president than
dozen caucusses. Conover said last
hight he would not reconsider his vote
'ut would act no further with the DEM
'crats. He was under personal obliga>
ions to vote for Butler.
The president said to day upon read-
ng the dispatch stating that he would
'eto the silver bill. II have authorized
10 such statement. and on repeating
lis denial, he said: II not only have
lot authorized it, but I have mede no
uch statement, and hope that is sat.
