! In reference to the recent charges of
corruption against C. c. Hutchinson and
the Ottawa University. the Home Journal
says:
That Mr.. Hutchinson owes no moreto
the Governm cut than he viii pay without
any '4arelies" being required to N AXE
up the remainder" 2. That whatever
fund of his own he has put into the Otta-
wa University while Treasurer OF that In
stitution, were put into very good pace,
devoted 10 a good object and further more
to one which is able to pay them back,
8. The searching investigation" has
only proved. as any one will. that Mr.
Hutchinson has acted withpntire integrity
and that his temporary embarrassment is
in no sense chargeable TO moral delu-
quency.. 4 The Delegation of Ottawa
Indians" went 10 Washington on business
ofIheir own of which tbs ab1ve scribber
evidently had no knowledge Delega-
ton which, as well as the Ottawas gensr-
ally, has confidence ii the integrity of
Mr.. Hutchinson. s. "The ultimate loss
to the Indian Department" or to any.
body else. will be just nothing at all.
8. 1.-The University will be required
TO do just nothing at all but
will do what is right, aud will pay what
it owss 10 Mr.. Hutchinson ''or any other
man." 7. The reverend" illusions in
the above paragraph reveal It's whole
animus. Men who do not happen to have
that prefix can be in trouble about their
accounts 10 any amount or for any length
of time and nobody is anxious 10 yenlilaie
their affairs. But when ''TeVeTend"
can be involved. aud good objects hurt by
> hurting him, there are enough to aid in
the enterprise Meanwhile, though we
have no personal interest 10 this matte r
whatever, only so far as our personal
attachment to Mr.. H. makes US interest
ed. we can assure all anxious friends that
. SO far as we know, ''Dobedy is hurt, F"
and what is better, nobody is likely 10 be.
We opine, however. that somebody will
be sorry if nobody is.
The State House trouble of which We
spoke last week, seemslto be at an end.
We clip the following from the Lawrence
Tribune of the 3Oth: ) ~
The contracts for the work on the State
House have been transferred from Messrs
Silvers d Son 10 Bogert d Babeock. Il
, is well known fact that the work has
, seemed to drag all summer Messrs. Sill
5 vers apprecia &c this fact. and ash ed for
meeting of the Board of Commissioners.
; At this meeting, held last week, the con
tracts let last spring, not having been
: wor,ed upon, were resigned by Messrs-
/ Silvers. and since Bogert q Babcock were
the next lowest bidders, the contract was
awarded them. Messrs. Slvers then
transferred their contracts eff last year, so
thai now the whole work is under contract
with Messrs. Bogert d B4bcock. These
trans 'ers are expected to give more vigor
to the work, and this being the earnest
wish of the people, will insure for the
Board the hearty support of everybody.
Messrs. SilVers leave the work honorably
to themselves aud the State. I'VE are glad
of this change. The Board of Commits
sioners will be commended for their earn
est activity. Messrs. Bbgert & B4bcock
are well known. Mr.. Bogert is a thor
ough mechanic in stone work, and Mr..
Babcock IS one Of the most enlerprisiBI
= men 10 the State. Under this charge, we
predict the building will fairly grow with
rapid construction.

lima who had recently arrived in town az

Jail aud died 10 a few bours. Being used
up by his spree and the bad liquor. OF
Manhattan, he was when 6rst attacked too
far gone fer medical aid.-ManAattaa In

from the well on Robert Jennings place
in Solomon, yieIds one pound Of salt to

haitian Radical. %
The Junction Union says that in the
Smoky Hill bottoms, where the overflow
stood IOpg enough to kill all vegetation. 3
stencil slmost unendurable4 arises from
the decayipg matter. That is avery con
vinoing explanation of the cholera out that
way. g
Cholera has almost disappeared at Har-
ker. but is now raging at other western
and southwestern points, InformatioB
from Fort Larusd states that the cholera
is raging at that post, and that there was
great mortality among the Kansas troops.
