Treasurer Polk.

On Saturday morning last, at 8
o'clock, Treasurer Polk, in charge of
his captors, H. L. Gosling, U. S. Mar
shall, and Others, arrived in Nashville.
Several hundred persons were assembled
at the Chattanooga depot to witness the
return of the defaulting Treasurer.
When the train arrived the party 10
charge with Mr.. Polk made their way
to carriage in waiting and were driven
to the county Jail, where Mr.. Polk was
turned over to the officials of that H.
stitution. Mr.. Polk refused to make
any statement in reference to the mat
ter of the State finances or himself.
The joint committee to investigate
and settle with the State Treasurer has
made lengthy and elaporate report of
the States finances, which shows de-
felt of cash in the Treasurers accounts
of 18,377.41. This, we believe,
does not include the $50, 900 in U. S.
bonds and coupons due on same which
would amount to $S4, 2S7 so. This
added to the deficit in cash would make
the total deficit about $402, 666.91.
There seems to be cash on hand and re-
naming in the banks to Folks credit,
belonging to the State, the sum Of
209,598.7S. From the property anc
claims of MIR. Polk attached, and from
his sureties on his official bond, the
State may possibly recover $l5O,OOO tt
$175, 600 more.
According to the report of the com
, mjttee, some of the prominent Nash
vile banks and banks of other cities
allowed Mr. Polk to make false entries
even going so far as to enter upon thei
pass books held by Mr. Polk as evidenc
E of deposits to the amount of over $3.50
D.. 600 to help Mr.. Polk pass the exam
. nation and settle with the Legislator
5 two years ago. The committee think
/. that these banks that thus aided MI
e Polk in covering up his then detalcf
$ ton of probably more than $4,000
n are morally and legally bound to max
. good to the State such losses as tn
d State has sustained in consequence
is Folks continuance another two yea
Is in office. As to the correctness of ii
9 report of the committee as to the Ii
e bility of those banks which are alIegt
/ to have assisted Mr.. Polk to bridge ov,
e his defalcation two years ago, we a
N not informed, but hardly think muC
le will be collected from the banks on I'll
C account.
< Col. Polk is still in jail. The graz
r. jury of the Criminal Court have -four
,r a true bill against him, and he will pr
es badly go before the Criminal Court f
ne trial instead of the Legislative Coz
IN mittee. He may, however be exaI
ia ined by the committee.

The Normal Cabinet for March is one
of the best numbers yet published. The
original matter, OF whi:h there is more
than usual, is fresh. practical and just
such as is calculated to make publ
cation of this kind popular, and the care
and taste displayed in making up the
selections is worthy of note. Miss Lulu

very charming production and does that
young lady eminent credit. Mr.. Gala

their best endeavors to make the Cabi.

to the institution from which
it emanates, and their efforts are
by no means futile. If cur young friends
continue to do as good work in the fu-
ture as they have done in the past there
can be no possible grounds Tor COM

peruse their publication and from time

The museum of the Emporia High
school now consists of over 1000 speci-
mems illustrating every department of
natural science This is being contin-
ually increased by exchanges and con-
tributions. About 200 are alcoholic
specimens secured from a series OF
dredging excursions off the coast of Mas
sachusetts. For these the school has no
cabinet of their own-the one the speci.
mems now occupy belonging to Prof
Carmichael. They also possess about
100 volumes of books that are greatly in
need of case. In order that these wants
may be supplied a number of Emporia's
