quify 10 be made here about his past
history. The records Of the Treasury De.
partment chow that Whitaker Is at this
moment defaulter TO the amount Of
about 5000, 900 to the United States. The
circumstances OF his deialcation are as
follows:
When New Orleans was captured by the
Federal troops, Thomas May, Special
Agent OF the Treasury, was placed In
charge Of the Sub. Treasury. and remained
In position OF Assistant Snb.Treasurer
until he became President Of the First
National Bank. Whitaker took his place
as Assistant Treasurer, and May became
one Of his bondsmen. 10 1867 informa.
ton was received at the Treasury De-
partment Of transactions between the
First National Bank Of New Orleans
and the Sub.Treasury, whereupon
Knox, now Controller Of Currency,
and Meliue, Of the Treasurers
Office, were sent 10 Louisiana
to make an investigation. Whitake. was
absent. Upon examining his office they
found II short about 100000. Demand.
Ing OF the cashier where the remainder
Of the funds were, he replied that they
we're In Whitaker's tin box. The box
was found to contain promisSory notes,
bills Of exchange, and memoranda, out Of
which the government realized about
100000. Among these papers were sey.
eral drafts for large amounts on oAkes
Amep, which were protested, Ames as.

had no authority. May aud Whita.
ker both turned over all their
property 10 the Treasury Depart
msnt. 0ut OF May the government
realized about S500,000, but only q tri.
fling amount has ever been obtained
from Whitaker. The deialcation, as Il
now stands, is about 5000, 900, for which
Whitaker IL wholly responsible. The
officers Of the department never knew
exactly how much Of that s., ,l00, 900 was
taken from the Treasuary during Whita.
ker'A administration. Whitaker was q
Collector OF Internal Revenue, and there
still remains Il balance Of Sll 600 on his
account with the Internal Revenue
Bureau that has never been settled.
Whitaker may end that the United

him.
