State University of Iowa.

Mr.. EDIroE:-My communication on the
State University published il the journal Of
the 18th ult, showing how the affairs of thai
Institution had been conducted, its presen,
condition and future prospects has called
out some very bitter denuneiations. l an
accused of having made gross misstate-
ments' and Infamous charges which cannot
be sustained, and which are likely to pref
udice the public against the Institution'-o
having falsly rallied againstthe Professors as
Incompetent and charging the people OF
Iowa City with 'neglectirg the Institution
and feeling no interest in it, sc. The Iowa
City Republican of the 2lst admits that the
Institution has failed to fill the place, and
accomplish the good its liberal endowment
would warrant the people of Iowa to en-
pect;' and my object in spreading these facts
before the people was not to create pref
udce against the Institution but to show
tlfat this failure was the result of misman-
agement On the part of those who had
charge of the University, and think the
facts will bear HE out.
A writer in the Journal Of the 22d ult.,
evidently one Of the late appointed Profess
sors who feels the dignity Of his position
and late promotion nearly loses his temper

He calls me an old fogy, and says l don't know
anything about the University, and insinu-
ates that forced my attendance on the
meeting of the Trustees when had no bu-
siness. After fully establishing his claim to
"a fuller knowledge of the theoretical and
practical working of the Institution and
telling US what things the University was
framed to do, he admits that Some of the
former Trustees did indiscreetly purchase
some of the University lands, and he was
glad to see the decided action by the Legis-
lature last winter in declaring these pur-
chases illegal' lie also admits that at the
first election Of Professors two years ago the
Trustees, it is generally conceded, did APP

MURDER AND LYNoHING IN KANsAs.-The
st. Louis Republican of the 5th states that
a murder and the lynching of four desper-
ADDE'S occurred at J.eavenworth last week.
Two of the desperadoes were hanged. Their
names were Quarles and Bayser. Quarles
was gambling house keeper at Leaven-
worth, and was charged with numbering
and robbing man named Stephens whom
he had seen receive money at the bank
Stephens was decoyed by Quarles into the
woods where he was murdered. Two other
members Of a. supposed gang of murderers

last accounts and it was thought they would
$50 be hung. Their names were Wood and
knight.

We find the following in the report of the
President and Directors of the NJ. & NJ. r r.
The reader will remember that the Oskaloosa
branch of this road has fair share Of the
immense coal region here alluded to. We
anticipate heavy coal shipments from the
West to Muscatine as soon as the cars CON-
mence running as far as Mahaska county,
which is represented as abundantly supplied
with coal. ssThis road traterses the coal
fields Of Iowa for distance of one hundred
and seventy-fye miles. At the least esti-
mate the road, when completed, will trans
port one hundred thousand tons Of coal to
the Mississippi river. One hundred thou
sand tons at So so per ton would bring a
frcightage of $4,000. The total quantity
Of lahd tributary to the railroad is $780,
600 acres. At present only $3.50 acres
are improved, or about one acre in twelve.
1t is low estimate to say that one acre in
FOUR will be improved as soon as the rail-
road is completed. Hence the products will
be three times as great as at present, and
the tonnage of the principal agricultural
products, assuming the latest statistical data
for basis, will be 1,6l9,9s5 tons, one half
of which ut 50 per ton will be 81 ,6l9,9S5.
1t is also low estimate to say that the ter
ritory of the counties tributary to the rail
road will continue three times as many in
habitants when the road is completed as it
does now Or total population of 522,2O4
souls; and the travel Of one half will average
at least 50 per head, Or over half u million
per annum.

LOUISA Co. is also reported to have gone
Democratic! Local politics, however, pro-
