We understand, and we have good
reason to believe that "some gentle
men," whether the dismissed profess
sors or not Eve do not say, are bear
ers of these missions of Mr.. Marshall
and Wilson to the Oranges of the
State, and thus they are stirring up a
hcated ana angry iUeiing, that is
likely to drive thousands Of good ana
honest Changers in the State into the
position of rrejudging the case, and
also to bring to bear the Grange influ-
ence of the State upon the Legislature
for the reinstatement of the gentle
men aggrieved. 1t is no trivial influ-
ence towards bringing about q predju-
diced feeling on the part of many
Changers, that Gen. Wilson, the form
er editor of the Homestead, and the
organizer of the Grange order in this
State, should say to his brethren that
he believes the Grange sentiments of
the dismissed professors had, to quite
an extent, been the cause of their re-
moval.
The aggrieved professors may have
been mistreated we by no means de.
ny or affirm their statement to that eff
feet, but neither the Changers of Iowa
nor any other citizens of the State are
the judges to determine such q ques.
ton. We are sure that this course is
erroneous and predjudicial to the best
interests Of the very gentlemen it is
sought thereby to assist. We have
presented our view of the matter, that
If inconsiderate action might be had
by Changers of this county in the mat
ter, 1t shall not occur without having
before them what information we are
in possession of.
P. S.-Since writing the above we
have received an Ames InteNigence,'
Extra, from which we extract the fol-
lowing, which speaks for itself:
"This is tc certify that l had nothing
to do with getting up certain circu-
lar headed 'sConfldential Letter. and
sent out to the Oranges of Iowa, by
Professor A. EFF cote nor did I have
anything to do with placing my name
to said circular; and do not hold
myself as endorsing the contents of
said circular, except the Certificate
that Prof. FOote is q member of Ames
Grange, to which attached my name
officially, separate and apart from said
circular, and in my opinion prior to
the time of writing and publishing
said circular. RoBT. MARSHALL,
Late Master Of Ames Grange No.

p. ST. will further add that nv
opinion that the Grange sentiments of
Prof. Foote and Mathews were parti.
ally the cause of their expulsion, was
was made and formed by what Prof.
Foote said, viz: that the two members
of the Board that voted for their con-
tinuance in the faculty were the only
members of the Grange ON the Board.

LEHE

Matters in this State Institution. in
stead of getting better, proceed from
bsd to worse. 1t seems that three OF
the professors have been in some man.

James Matthews. Professor of Pomol-
osy; DIR. A. f. Foote, Professor of
Chemistry, and George ". Jones,
Professor of Mathematics. J. y.
Roberts, Professor OF Agriculture, re.
signed. The balance Of the Professors,
including President WEIGH. have been
retained.
The three Professors thus thrown

treatment, and are now demanding a
thorough investigation into the affairs
Of the institution. As rule we dis.

are not, however, very fsvorsbly i'm
pressed with the manner in which
Chat institution has been run, aud this
view dates back long ways. We do
think that in one way Or another
there has been much wrong resulting
TO the State from the conduct of af-
airs there. II was originally an in.
stitution peculiarly pertaining to the
farmers OF tho State. and generally ii
has been in the hands of trustees, who
we're of the agricnltarist class. There
was, however, great difficulties arts.

sion of the building, and their work
is now reported to be OF the most

aciently to form any just opinion, but
we hope that the farmer members Of
The Legislature will recognize that
this institution has always been one

that they will now take it in hand and

above letters, and hope that you will
cooperate with others in securing full
Justice to brethren whose positions
have been wrested from them without,
as believe, any Just cause.
WIN. DUANE WILSON.
The above appears in the znte1lagea.
Ger, and also a quite lengthy letter
from Robert Marshall, Master, &C.,
in which he says that gross outrage
has been committed upon Professors
Mathews and Foote, in their removal !;
and further says that President WEIGH
has made personal attack upon them,
for various reasons, chief among
which are, that they have been oppos-
cd to the illegal use of College funds ;
that they expressed opinions in the
Faculty that he did not like, and that
they voted for the Anti-Monopoly
candidate for Representative. Var.
ious other charges are made which we
will not now notice. The letter,
which is addressed "Dear Sir and
Brother" closes with:
"Our objects are to afford Justice

At large and enthusiastic meeting Of the

S0th of July, aud continue three days. A
committee, consisting Of Mack Bruce, George
Afford, William Hooker, Austin l.. Hail,
George Bright, j. w. Wcatherford, and Josh.
Swope, was selected to solicit stock, preference
to be given former Stockholders, and request
ed to report progress at the next meeting,
which will be held tomorrow Saturday af-
ternoon at O'Clock. The company will then
organize and elect officers.
We urge upon our iellow-ciiilens to CT. r.
actively into this movement, and have a fair
that will reflect credit upon our county. We
have had the most interesting exhibitions in
this part Of the State heretofore, and il is be-
yond question that they have resulted profta-

men generally, and proven quite as interest
ing as those held in large and elegant amphi-
