he does. that he should sioop to make a

Col. Oakley, is certainly matter of sur.
prise to- every one acquainted with the
facts in the case. He states that the
charges preferred against the sChief En-.
gIneerare not supported by proof and are
without foundation in fact" il is obvious
that this statement was made to have an
effect upon the public mind in favor oC the
Ohief Engineer. Is such a course fair,
and Isl justified by facts and reason ? 1t
is well known BY Judge Dickey that Col
Oakley did not appear at the inyestiga-

None OF his witnesses were examined, as
an opportunity for, him 70 collect his tesli.

Judge Hickey heard but one side of the
case, upon which it appears he has deci-
ded. 1t was the determination of the for.
eign Trustees to acqult their agent at the
examination referred TO as their acts sub.
sequently proved. Knowing these facts,
we are astonished that Judge Dickey
should make the statements he has, when
the public are satisfied Of the business of
the State Trustees charges. a-#
Judge Dickey also certifies that he has
"entire confidence in the management
and ability of the Trustees on the part of

there exists no good cause of dissa,isfac.
