occupied nearly two hours Hon. ID. D. Barnard briefly
addressed the meeting, and stated that dsgraceful
to some persons was the statement of facts made,
they did not admit of gainsay. The history given
by Professors Henry and Bache was true-there
Barnard then proceeded to speak Of Professor
Bache, and in most eloquent language al
luded to his services in the cause of science and
spoke Of him az man who stands as an
astronomer without superior in the wide
world The motives Of the trustees who had deter
mined to dismiss DIR. Goud are not known, neither
will they be il the trustees can prevent it. He
claimed that before DR.. Gould came to this city it
was decided by the aforesaid majority that he should
be removed, and after he came here they concluded
to starve him out He pronounced the statement
presented by Mr.. Olcott, President OF the Board,
and published in the papers, to be most deli.
berate attempt to strike down Dr. Gould
and destroy his character and reputation.
He had never known such paper to emanate from
any man OF responsibility. 1t dsgraceful and
disgusting, Could the trustees expect any scientific
m and In rharO nf ni,aarx ofnrv
