'Fu2aIOO University Scandal
COmnsu icaIfOm from the
President and Principal.

l. There is no public school at Tagaloo
other than Tugaloo University. which is
maintained by the Am. Missionary A5soci-
alton, except as its Normal Department has
received some small aid from the State, IN
re- turn furnishing a large number of teach
ers for the common schools.
2 No teacher in any department of the
University has ever been accused OF any
scandal
3. The late Business Manager was so ac-
cused, the matter coming to the knowledge
of the teachers about the last of February
T. The teachers Immediately made the
matter known to the proper authorities.
In consequence, the Secretaries of the A.
NJ. A. who CHANGED to be at New Orleans.
came TO the University at once, and made a
thorough and impartial investigation.
5. No affilavits of any kind were taken.
Those pupils who protested to know any
thing OF the matter were patiently and
fairly listened TO. and the result reached
was such that the Secretaries publicly
stated to The school that Mr.. Beals Wa, IN
their iud gment, wholly eXculpated. In this
view of the case, however, the teachers dld
not unite with entire unanlmity.
6. As early as December last. the Score
taries entered upon negotiations with the
subscriber, then residing in Iowa which
resulted i'm his appointment to the Presi-
dency of the University, the date of enter
ING upon said position being assigned for
The 10th of March. At the same time Mr..
5. =. Osborne was appointed assistant to
Mr.. Beals, with the expectation that the
latter would before long retire. His reason
for so doing being his advancing age cover
sixty), which rendered his duties too bur-
densome Nothing was known at the time
these appointments were made of any scam
dalous reports.
I. Notwithstanding the exculpation above
referred TO, Mr.. Beals Immediately request
ed to be relieved, and was relieved April
Sd. Mr.. Osborne having, in the meantime,
arrived and assumed his duties.
s. The University is now in better con-
dition than ever before. The pupils are at
tanning a high standard in study and in
morals. The number in attendance is
larger than ever. New buildings are i'm
peratively required, and will soon be
/ erected.
| To conclude. OF course no one can hope
to be beyond the reach of SANDER. But we
expect to live above any just reproach. We
| invite inspection by all who care to know
| our work or its results Having no quar-
| rel with any, we propose to do our full
share in building up the real interests o.
| this noble State. Excel US who can. HelI
US who will. So may God help every good
/ cause.

Virus i'm the Air.

We know that peculiar poison is evolv-
ed from marshy ground and from the de-
composing filth of cities by the sunshine of
spring, and that this element, which is too
subtle to be detected by scientific analysis,
produces epidemic and endemic fevers, ag-
gravates dyspepsia and all bilious disorders,
disturbs the bowels, relaxes the nerves and
debilitates the general system. Luckily an
antidote TO this atmospheric virus, and a
specific tor the diseases it generates, has
been provided. For a period of more than
twenty years Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
a medicine in which the finest vegetable
tonics and alternatives are combined with a
perfectly pure stimulant, has taken prece-
dence of every other preparation, as a spe-
cific for the ailments most prevalent at this
season OF the year. 1t is agreeable as well
