torinity with the provisions Of an act of Assem-
bly,, the Funds OF that Institution subject to GER

to the use of the College 1T Lexington, on cond-
ton that II establishes Proiessorship ofFortitica-

funds thus paid over, consisted of u. States and
state Stocks, which were payable and were ac-
tuai paid in the course OF the year 1925 Ii APP
pears mat Mr. Is. did appropriate part OF these
funds 10 the purchase Of so odd Bank shares
but there is every reason TO believe that about
SIO,Oo0 OF the Cincinnati Fund was wasted
by him, OF which he has given no account OH the
books oil the Treasury or any where else. The
tch0ie of his defacdton cannot, therefore, be es-
na'ed at less than from 50 10 $4,000 dolls The
Cincinnati Fund paid directly into his hands

Is the usual regulation with the Conmonwealth's

THE POST MASTER GENERAL.-Binns
has issued long manifesto, having for its object
an inquiry into the public conduct of Mr.. MLean,
lii Post Master General, and his subsequent re-
moval from office. As il is usual with this ouin-
tessence of ego,ism 1t is stuffed full Of SELF anu in
teriarded with hypoclitcal regrets for g wound
ing the feelings OF Individuals. NV e well remcni-
ber, says this flower OF mOdesty, "when we first
called public attention TO the conduct of former

we have heretofore expressed our belief, that
this trained hound his been slipped from hi leash
by those who feed him for his tact hunting
down character. The labored article we refer 10
has strong internal evidence OF the fact. Among
oher things, 1t refers 10 private conversation he
tween Mr. Jonn Sergeant and the Post Master
General relative 10 the appointment of the Depu-
W Tor TINS city, and subsequent priU0te
communication between. Mr.. Mclean and
dental language said TO have been used
by Mr.. Mclean, this occasion, nay the
impressions said TO have been made upon the Pre-
sident by IT. are detailed by Binns. From no
source could such Information be derived other
than Mr.: Adams, for if eves-droppers could catch
Nh McLean's words they could not discover Mr.
Adams thoughts. If Binns, therefore, has any
authority Tor what he says, il cannot be less than
than that OF the President or his Secretary.
Adams and Clay have resolved OH the sacrifice
OF Mr.. Mclean. They want the OF what
Binns calls . the extensive patronage of his Of
uce, aud Tor the purpose of obtaining first some
Pretext for the removal of Mr.. Mclean, assai his
moral character and oificii integrity. We say,
MS moral Character is assaed, for the President,
