SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT. 10. 1881.
A Silly Performance.

we PRINT some striking correspond
ence between the secretary of the board
of trustees of Miilersville normal school
and one of the graduates of the institu-
tion, whom, together with another alum
nus, this board in its wisdom has seen
fit to exclude from the grounds and
buildings. On the face of the cores
pondence no reason appears for this ex
treme act of the board, and it carries
with it the condemnation of that body,
for its lack of common sense as we'll as
common justice. From Mr.. Myers we
learn that there has been no previous
correspondence between him or Mr.. Wit
mer and the board in relation to their
exclusion from the grounds of their alma
mater and the libraries of their literary
society, and that his only knowledge of
the causes leading to this remarkable
action is Il private intimation, from the
steward of the institution, that the
faculty and board weIe Gispleased
at his active sympathy with the
students who cOnflicted with the
faculty last term, and for that the
board proposed to exclude him from the
grounds. We need not say that this is a
wholly Inadequate explanation of what
is pri"ra tuc;c in arbitrary, if not lille
gal, action by the trustees OF a public cd
ucational institution partly under state
patronage. We have no idea that the
board can make good its action or sus-
tain itself before the law in the attempt
to exclude from its grounds and halls
persons who have at least acquired a
legal right to access to and use of the
society libraries. But apart from the
legal aspects of the case-which we
trust Messrs. Myers and Wilmer will
submit to judicial examination
if their exclusion is insisted upon
in Il moral view the action of the
board can only he regarded as
ill-advised and contemplate. 1t can
not he denied that alumni of the
institution and members of the societies,
living in the village and close to the
interests Of the students, are entitled to
a consideration which strangers could
not expect from the management Of the
Millersville school. Ii, then, the active
sympathy of such persons with the cause
of the expelled students warrants their
exclusion and expulsion from the
grounds how much more defensible
would it be for the trustees to issue
their uhase against everybody who was
of the same mind! And how can they
consistently refrain from doing SO :?
Such a logical performance on their part
would bar the gates of their enclosure to
the editors of the INTELLIGENCER and
of a score of other papers in the state
and against thousands of their readers.
If the authorities mean this, why do
they not say so?

REPORTED RASCALITY.
RuMoRs OF A Plot TO AssASSlNATE
PRESIDENT ARThUR.
Statement Of Mr.. BayIey Of the Army Medi-
cal Mussum-What He Overheard
Monday Night-Two Men
Plotting President
Arthur's Death. .-
NO SERIOUS FEARS OF TROUBLE

WASHINGTON, September 2s.-A Mr..
Bayley, who is employed in the Army
Medical Museum, has created something
of sensation in police official circles
BY filing a sx orn statement with the
Chief Of Police that he had overheard a
plot TO assassinate President Arthur.
Mr.. Bsyley's affidavit is to the effect
that about midnight last Monday, while
living in his bed, which was in lower
front room fronting on Missouri avenue,
he heard two men talking OF the assas-
sination OF President Arthur. Bayley
states that his window blinds were
closed. The two men were leaning
against tree box Immediately In front
OF his window; that one OF the men said
it would happen in one month; that he
(referring to some man whose name was
not mentionsd,) y had sworn to kill Pres
ident Arthur within that time; that the
man who had thus sworn, was
A Garfield Republican.
Bayley says he was 30 much agitated
that he didn't know what TO do. That
the next day he informed the Chief
Clerk of his Division OF what he heard,
and he advised Bayley to report the
facts to the police. Upon this advice
Bayley filed his sworn statement. The
police authorities do not attach much
Importance to this matter, but they
have quietly taken some precautions
for the protection OF the President.
There seems TO be no doubt but Bayley
overheard the conversation he reports,
but it was probably some half drunken
fellows who were talking. Bayley is a
nephew of II. P. II. Bayley, OF Virginia.
who was the Republican candidate for
Congress last year, and he was appoint
ed to office by Senator Logan. He has
written Senator Logan an account OF the
affair.
The reported plot to assassinate the
President has put the police on the qui
pire, although the general impression is
there is more imagination than reality in
the story. Tonight four officers are on
duty in the vicinity OF the Jones man.
sion and visitors are closely scrutinize,i.
The Presidents household are disposed
to ridicule the report.
Mr.. Reed, Private Secretary to the
requests the press to deny
the ports that the President has suffered
from Malaria. His health is good and
he has suffered from nothing but from
fatigue and anxiety during the summer.
He will not occupy the White House
until December at the earliest, much
preferring Capitol Hill, especially in
such weather as that now prevailing.

The Mrs. Garfield Fund.

NEy YoRK, September 2s-The pro-
jector Of the fund for Mrs. Garfield in a
card referring to the suggestion that
some Of the money be given to the dead
Presidents mother, states that under
the terms OF the subscription papers
sent out not cent of the sum subscrib-
ed can be devoted To any other uses
than those specified in the subscription
papers-that is, for the Presidents wife
and children. He has this afternoon
received two checks, one for $500 and
one for $3.50. for General Garfield s
mother, which he will forward, with
any other sums received, to her or in
vest as she may prefer.
