THE LATE TREAsURER's DISHONESTY


NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The defalcation and
death of Benz G. Bogert, late Treasurer of the
Produce Exchange, was the sole and absorbing
topic of conversation in and around the Ex-
change this morning. Some of the members
were inclined to find fault with the finance
committee, but others said no blame was to be
attached to them, as they had every confidence
in Bogert's honesty and fair dealing, and not
whisper of suspicion was heard against his char
acter. Superintendent Grant knew nothing of
the matter, except what was published. Mr..
Bogert, he said, was appointed treasurer of the
Exchange in 1861 and had served in that Ca
pacity up to the present, except for brief
period in 1865. A meeting of the Board of
Managers was held this morning, at which
Samuel Jacobs, member of the finance COM
mittee, was appointed treasurer pro tenn. Pres
ident Hencken said: "Mr. Bogert's defalca-
ton and death were quite a surprise. All had
faith in the man, and had he asked me for a
loan of $25, 900, Or even $4,000, 1 would have
given him my check for that amount" Bogert
has not been at the Exchange since Tuesday
afternoon. He was a flour jobber in Barclay
street and did large business: 1t was not
thought the finance committee was to blame,aS
they could not tell how matters were going
Mr.. Bogert kept his account with the Third
National Bank and it amounted to over $780,
600, and it was the determination of the fl
nance committee to remove their account to
the Corn Exchange Bank that led to the ex-
posture. The committee used to do business
with one bank by means of bank certificates,
but abolished that because the certificates
never showed how the committee stood, and
afterwards the account was carried on by
means of a bank book President Hencken
thought that Mr.. Bogert must have had two or
three books and shown only one in which he
made entries of the purported bank account,
while the real account he kept in the back
ground. A good deal of anxiety was felt about
the bonds of the building fund, which were in
a box under care of the Safe Deposit Company,
but they were found untouched
Mr.. Bogert's bondsmen qualified in the sum
of $4,000, and are good for the amount. One
of them stated this morning he was willing to
pay his share of the deficit. This will leave
margin of over $11 900 loss, which will have to
be borne by the Exchange. 1t is not known
whether Bogert committed suicide. He was
about So years of age. The finance committee
are making an investigation into the affair.

Justice to Judge Libbey.

Hon. S. S. Brown authorizes us to state as a
matter of justice to Judge Libbey, that what
the judge said to the Governor, on the
occasion spoken of in our former issue, as to
the legality of the rejected returns from GER
tain cities, was the next week after the votes
had been canvassed and the certificates issued,
and that when asked his opinion, he explicitly
stated that he had called to pay his respects,
merely, and did not desire to talk upon any
matters acted upon by the Governor and Coun-
Gil; that any opinion he might express would
be an off-hand opinion, without any examina-
ton, but that If the Governor desired it, he
would state his impressions, as one gen tleman
would to another Judge Libbey now says he
entertained the impression that the law was
as he stated it to the Governor, but upon ex-
animation of former decisions, and hearing the
views of his associates on the bench, he enter
ia ms no doubt that his first impressions were
in correct, and he fully concurs in the opinion
of the court as expressed in the answers of the
judges to the Governors questions, recently
submitted.
If we had been aware of the facts, as stated
by Mr.. Brown, and that what was said by
Judge Llbbey was in private conversation
and after the certificates were issued, we
should not have deemed it proper to publ ish
the statement in our Thursdays and Wednes-
days issue, as the facts show nothing incon-
sstent with Judge Libbey's answers to the
questions put to the court; but still it show S
that the question of the validity of city return
was one upon which men might honestly diff

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.


AUGUSTA, Jan. 9.-In the exciting state of
affairs this NOR ning the rotunda was packed
full of people all eager to ascertain every
thing possible as to what was going on in the
legislative halls. The reason of this crowd is
made apparent by the fact that nobody but
Senators, Representatives and those bearing an
order signed by Gen. Chamberlain, were admit
ted even upon the stairway to the halls, OF
course such proceedings created a feeling of in
tense interest. Gen. Chamberlain has as
sumed supreme control of the militia and will
be in command until Gov. Garcelon's success
sor is appointed, and it is understood that his
orders have caused this stringency in the rules
governing admissions.
One of the reporters of daily paper in this
city went to his usual entrance to the Senate
chamber this morning, but found it guarded
by large posse of police who refused to per-
nit him to pass without an order from certain
officer. On applying for such an order he was
notified that none were to be issued to-day and
consequently he was counted out 'and his work
must remain undone. Fortunately, however,
a friend who had the "open sesame" appeared
and saw him escorted to his accustomed chair.

gallery to-day, "a fact unprecedented i'll the

The Convention.

On next Wednesday and perhaps
Thursday will he held In this city
the largest political gathering ever
called together In Nebraska. 1t has
been heralded here and there, over
the State, by those who don't know
Columbus, that her hotel accommo-
dations will not be ample enough
for the crowd of people that are to
be here; delegates have been serio-
comically advised to bring their
board and bed with them. The
Lincoln papers especially have spok-
en- disparagingly of Columbus as a
convention town, and it becomes us
to make a little effort, and see to it
that none who attend are without
good meals and good beds, which is
more than many delegates ever got
at Lincoln, by even paying large
sum. The convention is composed
of 373 members, and there is good
reason to believe that they will all
be here, besides at least as many
more who take lively interest In
shaping the action of the State on
the presidential question.
Let the guests of Columbus be so
treated this time that they will wish
to come again.

THE GREAT VAN AMBURGH.
A Monster Institution.-The Great
Show is Coming.

Van Amburgh Il Cos Great Golden
Menagerie, Roman Circus and Col
osseum, the largest combined men,
agerie and circus now travelling, will
visit Columbus on Thursday, May
18th. We venture the assertion that
as a whole, this monster exhibition
is by far the most attractive in all
of its features ofsny like institution
that has ever visited this section of
the State, and that it will meet with
the most generous patronage from
our citizens and our country readers
is placed beyond 3 doubt. The
Golden Menagerie has the most ex-
tensive collection of wild animals,
birds and reptiles that has ever been
brought together under one canvass
In this or any other country, in the
list of which will be found the
great Behemoth of Holy Writ, the
only living Nondescript ever i'm
ported into this country, the largest
elephant in America, and twenty
nine cages of other rare wild ami
mails. The circus performances will
be of startling and amusing char
acter. A troop of nearly one hun
dred equestrians, equestriennes,
gymnssts, acrobats, athletes, leapers,
&c, all of whom have been selected
for their peculiar speciality acts.
The clowns--three of them-have
been chosen from the best and wit
tiest in the profession, and, in short,
everything in this gigantic show is
of the most elaborate and glittering
description. We expect to see the
mammoth tents the Van Amburgh
Show crowded at each performance
next Thursday. Who is there that
dislikes to see good horse? No
one. Who then will fail to see not
only scores of the finest bred horses
in the country dash into the magic
ring of the circus, each one of these
carrying an equestrian, who from
infancy has made the art of riding q
horse his study? Who can listen to
the quaint sayings of Mr.. Mcrryman,
the circus clown, without starting
button from his vest with involun-
tary laughter! What boy will hes
itate to ride the mule when the
ring-mas,er offers a five dollar gold
piece to the lad who succeeds with
out getting his neck dislocated? Oh,
it is fun 10 ride the mule. The man
who can throw a somersault over
twenty horses is with the show, and
he will do il or break his engage
ment with the management, for he
is hired for that one feat. The lion
tanner will enter the den of the for
est king, and not only play "hide
and 90 seek" with half dozen of
them, but will feed them with raw
meat in the presence of the whole
audience. No mistake about it,
menagerie and circus is just what
Is most desired at this time by our
citizens. and they will not fail to
crowd the spacious tents of the
great Van Amburgh at each per-
formance. Remember the day.
Read the advertisement In this
weeks paper, and fail not to visit
