DErESCE OF GENERAL HOWARD.

WASHINGTON, May g. 1870.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Permit me brief space in your columns to correct
the Measurements that have found their way from
this point into many newspapers concerning the
charges against General Howard now being nve sti-
gated by the Congressional committee.
The foundation Of the charges originated two years
ago or more In the Fl rst Congregational church Of
TINS city. Rev. DR.. Boynton, who was then pastor,
and General Howard, the founder Of the church,
could not agree regard ing the admission Of colored
people to church member ship and c0lored children
to the Sunday school-the former opposing and the
latter avoring the measure. The strife for time was
very bitter between these opposing elements
in the church, and finally DIR. Boynton,
year ago or more, withdrew, with about
100 members, and established new church,
which has decreas ed instead OF prosperng, as the
they left has greatly done and it is these old
roots of bitterness In the Boynton faction that have
undoubtedly stirred up the matter Of preferring
charges against General Howard and attempting TO
impair his usefulness and injure him in the esma-
ton Of the Christian public.
The charge Of misappropriating public money and
using any Of 1t whatever for personal advantage
scarcely needs refutation by those who know the
character and circumstances Of General Howard.
Nothing has been proven In this direction, can
there be- he having abundant receipts, vouchers
and evidences to show that every dollar passing
through his hands In his various capacities was
strictly applied as the government intended It, He
has been conscientious, careful, prudent and sys-
tematc throughout In all the details OF the various
branches Of business under his charge. The
matter Of immense amounts or money being
useessly II not fraudulently, expended to
keep "Howard University" from tumbhng down
has dissolved into few hundred dollars only
that was required for needed repairs or atera-
tions. The lot on which the house of General How
ard Is built, which was brought 10 the notice Of
the committee as being a gift to him for some fraud
in letting government contracts, or something OF
like character, proves to have been bought by him
and its actual value paid therefor. Some personal
friends desired 10 present him with this lot which
he positively declined, and proved the foregoing by
the record, which, singuiarly enough. is IN the hand

shall here lie given,
The three salaries which General Howard Is repre-.
sented as drawing from the goye nment are all
visionary, and proved to the commit ee that he has
drawn and does draw but one for all his various
duties, and that one Is for the position ne holds as
brigader general In the regular army. After having
positively declined to receive any ary as pres
OF Howard University It was actually fixed at the
enormous rate OF one dollar per year by the trustees
which can be readily ascertained to be true by the
records OF the insti ut on.
