A deficit has just been discovered in the Treasury of North Carolina, of $70,000. It will be recollected that John Haywood, the late Treasurer, died a few weeks ago, and that his son, John S. Haywood, was appointed his successor. On discovering the deficit, the latter gentleman, in a very feeling letter, addressed to the Legislature, resigned, under the impression, that, if the fact of his father's defalcation had been apparent, at the time of his election, it might have had some influence on the voters.
Mr. William Robards has been elected by the Legislature the successor of Mr. Haywood.
