For the Charles City lntelligenceI
The Agricultural College.

Mr.. EDITOR Il notice in your paper
of the 18th inst. a paragraph concern
ing the doings of the Trustees of the
Agricultural College at their recent
session in Des Moines, which to say
the least, is slightly erroneous, and l
take it for granted that you will glad
ly correct any error that may obtain
circulation through the columns of the
Intelligencer
You say first, 1.-THE Trustees of the
Agricultural College at their recent
session in Des Moines, voted them.
selves four dollars per day in addition
to mileage" They did nothing of the
kind, never voted themselves a cent of
pay, nor had they any right to do so.
The Legislature gave them mileage
not more than three times per year,
and nothing more. .:.
The Board did appoint a building
committee as required by law; and
required of each one of said commit
tee a good and sufficient bond for &c.
600 for the faithful performance of their
duty, and fixed their pay at four dol
lars per day, for time necessarily en-
ployed as such committee. Is there
anything wrong about that !? take
it, that men competent for such service
would not leave their ownrbusiness to
attend to that of the State either for
pleasure or any honor that may be at
tached thereto and further, do not
believe the people of the State would
feel willing to have such service rem
dered them gratuitously. "The labor
er is worthy of his hire" The COM
mittee consists of three persons.
Said paragraph also contains fur
Their statement, as follows :" Mr.. Fink
bine skillful, architect and an honest
man, was removed from the superin-
tendency" Mr.. Finkbine never acted
as superintendent of the College build
ing or farm. The law made it obliga.
tory upon the Board at its first annual
meeting to appoint a superintendent
On the first day of the session Mr.
Finkbine was unanimously elected said
superintendent but we subsequently
reconsidered our action as we had a
perfect right to do, and another person
was appointed, and that is just how
much "a skillful architect and an
honest man was remored from the SUI
perintendency"
The last clause of said paragraph is
strictly true, to the effect that the Board
meet again in June. An executive
committee was also appointed with pay
the same as the building committee.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE FESIAN
fUHDs-The imbscility which characterized
the late hostile % movement Of the FenIan
leaders, has aroused the indignation of the
millions Of warm-hsarted Irishmen in this
country who have freely given their means 70
aid in the WORK so dear to them. of iIberating
their native land. A few days since 8 delega.
tion from the Philadelphia circles visited New
York to learn the actual condition OF Affairs
and from their statements, il would appear
that the funds, gin many cases hard earned) so
literally contributed by Irishmen throughout
the country, have been SO uandered In the most
reckless manner by the leaders. The Phila.
delphia Telegraph gives the following brief but
comprehensive statement Of the condition of
the fenian Treasury at the present time: ssAt
the beginning Of the year the Secretary of
the Treasury had under his control about
s210o0O. OF that sum, Sl77.OOO have been
squandered on what il termed organizing and
organizers, which means supporting certain
favoritss out Of the general fund. $4,000 more
were sunk in the expedition against Eastport.
The rent OF the palace on Union Square and
other extravagances have consumed about
$1,000. The total aseets at present in the treas.
ury Of the fenian Brotherhood do not exceed
the sum Of $500"
