THE NEW RLEArTS BIOT-OFFI-CIAIi CORBESPONDESCE. Upou our ontudo to-day will be found an Important budget of telegraphic correspond ence relating to tho New Orleans riot, with on introductory explanation of Its Impor tance. GOVERNOR LYON, OF IDAHO, IX ARREARS. Publication was recently mado that Caleb Ltoi, of Lyonsdale, New York, who haa been Gorcrner of the Territory of Idaho for several years past, while on his way to this city from New York, In the night train, wa robbed of the sum of brfy-iet en thousand dollars. Government lands, which he held as Superintendent of Indian Affairs of that Ter ritory. Governor Ltoi says ho put tho sum of money named in a belt, (which for pro tection sake should be worn around the body,) bnt that when he laid down in the sleeping car he put the belt under his head ; that tho thief took the money and left the belt exactly where the Governor pat it To say the least, this was a considerate thief who pat the belt back under the Governor's head What makes the statement about the loss of the money seem very strange is the fact that Mr. Lvov should hare allowed himself to bring sach a large amount of money upon his person to this city. There was no occa sion for it He could hare deposited it in any Government depository and taken a cer tificate therefor, the stealing of which would not necessarily have subjected him to the loss of the money. It will appear by the record, we under stand, that smce July 28, 1664, the Govern ment haa advanced to Superintendent Lto.v, at different times, about one hundred thou sand dollars, for which, we learn, he has never rendered any account whatever. There fore Governor Ltoi will not only have to account to the Government for the $17,000 taken from the belt under his head, but for the still larger sum named above, the dis bursement of which there is no official detail rendering at the Department We certainly hope Governor Lvox will make a satisfactory settlement of the financial affairs of his ad ministration in Idaho, reference to which we thus allude to publicly because tho subject is a public one, and will probably be brought before tho courts at an early day. Theatricals. The National Theatre has been crowded daring the week as it has never before been crowded since it was in existence. Joe Jef ferson's acting in "Ilip Van Winkle" has charmed the town.
