From the Chicago Republican, April'24.
The Chicago Times DenOunces Gen.
Grant as a Thief and Murderer.

The Chicago Times has not forgot
ten its malice. 1t may have been re-
pressed, but never diminished, and
the murder of the Deering family is
seized upon as the pretext for repeat
ing its denunciation of Gen. Grant as
a thief and murderer. Itfnds in An
thony Probst, the slayer of the Deer
ings, another Grant; it finds in the
$500 and pair of boots an induce
ment for crime fully as honorable as
the capture of Richmond, while the
murder by Probst of those defenseless
women and children is no more in
famous than the slaughter at Gettys
burg. Probst, it insists, is the hero of
a bloody action not equaled, unless
by some of those who fought around
SpottsVylvania Court House.
Probst wanted the $500 and the
boots; Grant, wanted Richmond; the
Deering family stood in the way of the
money, and the rebel army in the way
of Richmond. Probst murdered all
the persons who could prevent his
theft; Grant did the same. Probst
did no more than Grant, but as to the
atrOcity of his act, was fully equal to
him; Grants motive vas fully as
criminal as that of Probst's, and to
accomplish his success, he murdered
more people, and as Indignantly as
Pr0bst. The two men are classed to-
gether-equals in crime. and entitled
to the same h6nOrs and fame in the
estimation OF their country. AsGrant
Is awarded higher honors by grateful
country for his deeds than have been
awarded to his comrades, so Probst,
it insists, should be exalted and hon
ored above all murderers except
Grant. It thus closes its comparison
between Grant and Probst:
He [Probst] needs honors of some
sort. 1t would be an insufficient ac-
acknowledgement to make him a Briga-
der General of murderers. A Major
Generalship in the grades of slaugh-
ter would be beneath his deserts. We
must look higher. He outranks the
regular and highest of the customary
official distinctions. He should be at
the very least a Lieutenant General z
To the extent that Grant is a thief
and murderer, whose deeds can only
be classed in the same grade with the
atrocious slaughter Of the Deerine
family, SO also must be classed the
acts of Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas.
and their associates, rank and file,
who, during four years, carried the
flag and the sword of their country

Editors Journal:
There was large and enthusiastic
meeting held at the college chapel on
last evening, at which effective adj
dresses were made by the Rev. Mr.
Hight and Col. Ray; after which the
pocket-book began to speak, and at
the close of the meeting the contribu-
lions amounted to fourteen thousand
dollars ($14,0OO). Many liberal and
wealthy men were not able to be pres
ent who intend giving, and the contri-
buttons, with little trouble, will doubt
less be augmented to twenty-five thou
sand dollars.
The students and alumni of this in
stitution intend endowing Chair of
$25, 900; and it is requested that old
students give their donations to this
object. One-fourth of the amount is
already raised. -
The roll of Asbury numbers over
four hundred students, one-half of
whom fought in our army IF the
people of Indiana give what is asked,
and reasonably expected, before FIVE
years the institution viii catalogue
three times four hundred.
1t is intended to make this institu-
ton irregular University-not a COM
mon College-to erect large buildings
on grounds already purchased to in
crease the faculty, to endow Chairs of
Law, Nedicine, Theology, .Agrieul-
ture, &C., that young men may be more
peculiarly fitted to enter the profess
ion they expect to follow in life.
1t is fortunate for the educational
interests of Indiana, that Ann Arbor
is so far distant. We should have an
Ann Arbor in Indiana, there is room
for one in any State where there are
facilities.
There seems to be a general interest
manifested in this enterprise, not of
Methodists alone, but by the friends
ofeducation all over the State A law
yer of Peru, a Presbyterian, expects to
give the Institution $4,000.
The students of the Institution are
governed by no sectarian rules; we
are bound to no creed; it is left en-
tirely optional with each one what
views he will entertain-what church
he will attend.
DIR. Bowman is very actively en-
gagged in the present enterprise, and
with the cooperation of the friends
and patrons of the Institution, Asbury

man engaged in this war whose hands
are not bloody with the gore of the
national defenders, is, by the Chicago
Times, pronounced thief and muir
derer, who, in all that constitutes a
hero, can only compare with Probst
in the proportion that they took part
In Grants cold blooded murders.
We do not remember to have seen
during the war, even in the rebel
newspapers, more malignant and sour
rilous defamation of Grant and the
Union Soldiers than that which APP
peared in the same issue of the Chi
cago Times of April I'D, 1866. 1t is
brutal in its taste, infamous in its OBJ
ject, cowardly in its manner, and in
sulting in ali things to the survivors
of the army, and to their relatives and
countrymen, who claim for both liv-
ing and dead the honored crown of
patriots and soldiers.
