STARTLING ExPosITIoN.--It was sta

since, by the Hon. Mr.. Southgate Of Ken

sub-treasurers, in and out of Office, who
are defaulters, have in their hands at this
moment the enormous sum of one million
nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars of
the public money, and that the defaulting
custom-house officers, not now in office, but
who have been fully surfete4and given
way for fresh set, have in their hands the
round sum of one million four hundred and
twenty-seven thousand four hundred and
ten dollars ofthe peoples money-making
in all, the sum of $3,377,410. This i'm
mense sum, however, it was stated by Mr..
Southgate, did not include the two thou
sand and more of defaulting postmasters
or the custom house receivers now in Of
flee, who are defaulters to the government,
and various other receivers and disburs-
ers of the public revenue. Mr.. Southgate
dared any gentleman friendly to the ad-
to deny this statement, and
he would prove it from the records.
