The Wabash Express has the following. For the
cause of humanity, hope that there is no ounda-
ton for such remarks or such charges With the

We find the following in the Quincy Wing. We
hope for the good of the cause there is some mistake
in this matter, and the charges here made will prove
TO be without foundation. Of course, the Grand

of these charges. for if true it will cripple The parent
stem of much of It's intended good, aud the subordi-
mates will cut themselves aloof from it totally. All
the branches must know to what ends the funds are
appropriated or they will not send up their usual
dues:
