Drawing ON Ima 9inatlOn for Facts.

In Sundays Bulletin appears "protest :"
from Mr.. X. NJ. Lusher, purporting to rec i,e
facts in connection with his invasion and
evacuation OF the Office of the State Super.
intenient of Public Education. There are
two grave inaccuracies in this docu ment
which. in the interest OF history. we desire
to correct. 1t is alleged that when the office
was taken. it had been voluntarily aban-
doned, whereas the truth is that it was
open all day Monday and closed at the
usual hour. and on Tuesday the whole
street on which it is located was blockaded,
and all entrance to it denied till Wednes.
day. when the doors were forced open by
the White Ieaguers and Mr.. Lusher placed
in possession. There was no ''abandon.
ment'' in any sense. But if there were,
would the abandonment" Of an office by a
holder entitle any envious outsider to seize
it It is also alleged that Nj. Lusher was
violently extruded by M. Brown to recover
the office. The truth is tha. the State Su.
perinterde.:, obeying the executive order
to resume his duties, directed Rev. NJ. c.
Cole, - secretary. to proceed to the office
and demand it, which he did. Professor d.
n. Whitaker. who sat in the Superintend-
ert's chair for three days. decently ''surs
yen dered under protest." delivered some
keys he had possessed himself of. and, after
exc hanging civilities with Mr.. Cole. de-
pa rted. These are trifles. perhaps. but as
Mr.. Lusher is particular gentleman. we
must cOnfine him to strict recitals.

The state House.

Everything was Remarkably quiet around
the State House yesterday. The Governor
wen. early in the day to the Cestomhouse
to confer with Hon. Benjamin II. Cowen,
Assistan. Secretary OF the Interior. and Ad-
miral Rogers. Of the United States navy.
These gentlemen recently arrived here
from Washington on governmental mis-
sion. They were in consultation with Gov.
ernor Kellogg and Marshal Packard for
about three hours. but as the meeting was
strictly private it was impossible to ascer'

it may have some connection with the re
