words by Judge Allen. president Of the Ac

audience before him completely wrapped IN
his interesting and well presented theme
The subject was THOROUGHLY discussed
under several different heads and
the trials and tribulates OF editors most clear
" defined. Throughout the lecture Mr..
Kslloch was warmly aPplauded. He vas at

Of Ill our citizens for his liberality toward

be carried into the treasury. II IL with
great degree of satisfaction that the officers
and directors of the Academy note the rapid
" increasing public interest in the success OF
the enterprise and backed BY the advice and
hearty support they will push forward With
renewed endesvors until their plans are fully
accomplished. There is no reason Why
Leayen worth should not shine in the scien-

THE COUNTY TREASURY.
Heavy Delinquencfes Discovered
In the Office.
The Books Refuse to Balance to
the Tune Of go, 900.
Treasurer Smith Unable IS yet to
Explain.
He Signs Over all His Property
to His BOndsmen.
How the Deficiency was first Dis
covered.
An Investigation Of the Affairs Of
the Office to be Made at Once.

EARLY on Sunday morning a rumor val
prevalent to the effect that Geo. 6. Smith,
County Treasurer. had admitted deficiency
of $40, 600 in Ais accounts, and had signed
over all his property to his bondsmen, VIM.
p. BorlaDd, H. w. Gille,t, c. B. Brace,
Daniel Kinnear. E. Hsnsley. II. d. Mckay
and H. S. Foote. This report vas not cred
tied at fret. but a. the news spread and con-
firmation began to come in from every point,
the doub.er. began to fall into the line Of
believers, and there was nothing to do but
accept the report - true. Monday came,
and with il the details of the defalcation.
As early ~ practicable We inter viewed the
deputy in ci,,ge Of the Treasures of6ce
(Mr. Smith beirg sick and confined TO his
bed, and from him learned the true situa.
ton Of Affairs. 1t seems that up to two
veeks ago. even the deputy treasurer and his
assistants knew nothing of the defalcation,
and the FIRST in,imation they had of any
trouble was q want Of funds for which they
could not account. The funds of the trea.
sury were deposited in the city banks and
properly credited on the books At the Trea-
surer's Office, but when the deputy, in the
absence Of Mr.. Smith. attempted to draw
on the banks, he found to his surprise that
nothing was due the treasury. Mr.. Hal
lizard on discovering this state Of affairs, a
once informed the bondsmen of Mr., Smith
1t appears that tie money was drawn
from the banks BY Mr.. Smith
on his own checks, and that
he failed TO notify his deputy Of the with.
drawal Of the funds. OF course no entries
we're made on the books of the ofice and
hence the accounts there remained perfectly
correct.
The deficiency is estimated to be between
$50. 600 and $4,000. Mr.. Smith is q,
present quite sick and unable to give the ex-
act amount Of his assets, but his bondsmen
feel confident that they with the amount Of
property turned over will nearly, if not quite
make up the deficiency. Smith says he has
on deposit in bank of this city beween
1900 and $50. 900 in county scrip and
5000 in 20 U. 8. bonds, but this deposi.
il no where to be found.
Perhaps when the Treasurer RECEIVERS be
will be able to get track of the missing secu.
rites, but at present they are beyond the ken
of his hondsmen or those at present in charge
of the Treasury
A meeting of the b ard Of County Com
missioners will be held on Wednesday, and
an investigation follow.
Yesterday the bondsmen held . meeting
and at their request Mr.. Smith appointed
Edward Burr, Deputy Treasurer, and be
takes charge of the Office until some perma-
nent change is made.

THE PISTOL.
A Kansas Nan Pops Four Bullets
into a Cattle Dealer.

The Kansas City Times remarks that John
Moeiler il . German, having his habitation
at Ellsworth, and being = manufacturer Of
the coverings for the pedal extremities Of
mankind, vulgariy called q shoemaker.
John had prospered in business, and in ex.
tending his operations had established q
branch Of his trade at Great Bend, down on
the A. T. & s. F. r. K. Here he met
Charles S.ranz anbach, . cattle commission
merchant of that place, and between the two
there seems to have arisen a feud that was
destined to have a bloody il not tragic
ending.
Moeller took a respite from his business
and came to Leavenworth Su day, to have q
good time, and thence to Kansas City where
be arrived yesterday evening. He visited
"the Arions," and was enjoying himself
generally and taking his lager in . strictly
Teutonic fashion, a. becomes a American

his pleasure with q crowd of friends on the
streets be called in at Woolmer's oyster sa-
loon to partake of dish of oysters. About
this time Strsnzanbach, with . party OF
friends made his appearance. Thus far an
authentic report; afterwards "a conflicting re-
port. Moeller says Stanzanbach upon re-
cosnizing him commenced an assault upon
him, and in self defense he drew his revolver
and shot him. On the other hand Siranzsn-
bach reports that Moeller, upon being in
iroduced BY mutual friends, denounced him
q s-n Of q BIB and caught
hold of him by the coat, whereupon he struck
Moeller who then drew pistol and fired AT
him repeatedly. AT any rate Stranzsnbach
received four ehots in the left fore arm, from
which he bIed profusely, and fell as dead
man. He was taken up and carried to DR..
Bakers drug store, where his wounds were
dressed BY DR.. Bogie, as-isted by Mr.. J. T.
Swygard and others, and under their minis
trations and the in q hence of a generous tonic
he was soon on his feet and feeling as well as
ever, though somewhat bloody.
After the shooting Moeller made his way
down the street, and was shortly arrested by
officers Hunt and Bird. and. after short re-
sistance, tsken to the Police Station and his
weapons taken from him. His examination
will take place this morning.

SECOND NATIONAL BANK.
The RumOrs in Relation to its
Suspension Wholly With
out Foundation.

For some time past there has been q rnmor
afloat to the effect that the Second National
bank of this city had suspended payment,
and that its affairs were in most critical
condition. The rumor is wholly without
foundation and originated in the following
clumsy telegram sent by Geo. T. Anthony,
revenue collector for Kansas, to the Secretary
of the Treasury.
LEAvENwoRTH, Dec. Sd, 1873.
Secretary of Treasury, Washington, ID. c.:
Where shall deposit collections-Second
National Depository closed.
Gro. T. ANTHONY,
Collector.
The wording of this telegram conveyed
. very wrong impression viz that the
bank had suspended business altogether.
Such however was not the fact, on the morn
ing of the Sd Of December, the bank cent
word to the Collector, that no more govern
ment funds would be received on deposit
The reason for this action can be told In q
very few words. The business was not in
the least profitable. In order to do business
with the government the bank was required
to deposit $l25, 900 in bonds a. security.
These bonds we're worth n least $l35 900.
At no time did the u g. have on deposit
with the bank more than 500, 900.
As will readily appear $37. 900 was the
excess gwen in security agains: . much
smaller deposit. This $37, 900 the Bank
thought it could use to better advantage and
40 gave notice that deposits from the Gov
ernment would no longer be received. The
bank Is perfectly solvent and pays all drafts
and checks promptly. Mr.. Anthony has
written the following letter in relation to
the breeze raised By his telegram.
US. Internal Revenue
Collectors Office,
District of Kansas.
LEAvENwoRTH, Dec, 9, 1871
FIR This Office wss notified BY you
on the 3rd Of December, that your bank had
ceased to be Government Depository, and
that deposits on Government account would
no longer be received. The following tele-
gram Vas thereupon sent to the Hon. Score
,ary Of The Treasury Where shall de-
posit collections. Second National Bank
Depository closed" There was no thought
of conveying more than il clearly expressed
to. Wit That - 4 depositOry. you had closed.
That your bank vas open, and that you paid
all checks whether Of Government or indi-
viduala, I have never doubted, much len
intend to convey different statement.

ANN ELIZA.
The Nineteenth Rib Of Brigham
Almost here.

On Friday, Mrs. Ann Eliza Young. the
Mormon lec,uress, will reach THE city and
on the Monday and Tuesday following de-
liver two lectures before . Leavenworth
audience on the subject of Mormonism. Mn.
Ann Eliza Was intending to spend must Of
the present week in this city, but was in
duced to stop in Lawrence and deliver her
lecture there. Of her appearance in Topeka
the Commonwealth speaks a. follows:
The insufficient announcement, or the bad
condition of the weather, or both, or some
thing or other, prevented the assembling Of
very large crowd at the opera house last
night to hear Ms. Young tell the story Of
her own life and marriages, and Brigham
Young's hypocracy and tyrany. Her lecture
however, vas listened to with marked atten
ton and interest. and produced q decided
sensation. She has . clear, full voice, o:
considerable compass, her articulation being
very distinct She was dressed in . plain
black elk, en- train. with point lace harbe
upon her neck, hair in braids. without orna-
msnt Of any kind.
She vac introduced by Rev. Mr.. Thomp-
son, of this ci y, who took occasion to give
her few words of encouragement in the
work she had undertaken Of dethroning the
poIyeamous lord. In opening her lecture
Nrs. Young stated that the nineteenth wife
a man living in the nineteenth century,
in heather country, would be considered .
curiosity; but in civilized, Christian Amer
ica, where poiyeamy Is tolerated BY the gov
ernment; she WAS nc curiosity. Having
aid this much BY way Of very suocinct
preface. she proceeded to tell "the melan
cholly story of her life from day to day.,
giving brief but comprehensive history o,
her own life and that Of her parents.
