The Orphan Asylum.

Not long since, we published o
statement of Hon. C. Ben. Darwin de-
nouncing the corrupt management
of the Orphan Asylum funds. The
paragraph was taken from the Du-
.buque Herald and because it was in
the Herald the Iowa City Republican
takes US to task for publishing it. We
wish to ask the Republican if truth is
not the same wherever found Mr..
Darwin is man of some note in Iowa,
has been connected with the Orphan
Asylum enterprise, and has had OPP
portunity to know something about
it. Why not deal with him and the
facts he presents, instead of censur-
ing brother editor for making them
public?
The care of orphans, whether of
soldiers or citizens, is noble and
praiseworthy object, and it is a sad
commentary Oh human frailty that
men and women cannot be found to
carry out such an object who are pure
minded and honest. We have seen
and do know enough about certain
parties, who have been active in this
enterprise Of founding an Orphan
Asylum, to convince us that they lack
both purity of character and honesty
of intention, notwithstanding their
loud-mouthed professions Of philan-
thropy and Christianity. Since the
institution has been located at Council
Bluffs how many of its former noisy
advocates will still continue their eff.
forts in its behalf? Echo answers, How
many!

Rty- Ex-Governor Wise, in recent
address TO the Richmond Light Infantry
Blues, after extolling them for their slor
in the war, gave them some very sensible
advice. He 4" warned them not to en-
courage any thought Of establishing q
separate government Ihey were citt-
zens Of the Union and must remain So;
and the idea if the government got into
war with II foreign power, an opportuni-
ty would be afforded to renew the REBEL
ion was a chimera If they fought again,
they must fight under the stars and
stripes 1t was his flag; it was their
flag He had never seen the day, not
even when ordering his men to charge
those who carried it, that he did rot love
it better than any of them could do. He
said that when more than four thousand
miles from home, that flag was the shell
tering Igis that protected him. 1t Mas
still the symbol of liberty TO the oppres-
sed of the whole world, for it Was only
this country that afforded an asylum from
despotism. He urged his hearers to go
to work not to be idle and loaf about
the streets. He said that he would issue
his last order to them as their General.
1t was that none of them should be
drones. If they could not get work to
do that they had been accustomed to,
then do whatever came to hand. Do
something If they could not get mon
ey for their work, then work for their
food and clothes. If t'ley could not get
their clothes, then work for bread. 1t
was the duty of every man to do some
thing for himself, his family and his
country.
