An Empty Treasury.

Since our last issue the startling in
ielligence Of the defalcation of NJ. T.
Polk, Treasurer of the State, has
reached US and perhaps nearly all our
readers before this. He is defaulter
for more than 100000. AS to the
amount that will be recovered it is too
indefinite for us to give any reliable
statement. The money is gone and
most likely but little will be recovered.
Mr.. Polk attempted to make bis escape
to Mexico, but failed. He was first
arrested at San Antonio, Texas, but re-
leased. He was captured the second
time at Webb, just before crossing into
Mexico and is now on his way back to
Tennessee in charge of two United
States Marshals.
