Respectfully,

cent twelve year bonds for S13l,412 % are
included In the above sum of $500, $500
permanent funds. All facts connected
with the history OF the bonds for S134,-
al. 20 are set forth In a document hereto
appended and marked document b,
from which IL is clear past all oontrover-
~ that the bonds In question do in law
aud justice as legltlmateiy belong to the
university funds as any other portion of
those funds. These bonds are lying In
the treasury. Some slight legislative
action, however, 10 needed TO restore
them TO their Lee, Innate place. Nothing
10 needed now except for the legislature
70 make an appropriation that has been
heretofore deferred for payment OF inter-
est thereon.
Il was wise in view ofthe condition of
our financial Affairs that the legislature
postponed the payment of the interest
due on these bonds. The university was
not established, and IL would have en-
barassed the revenues needlessly to set
aside to the university fund the interest
~ IL accrued. But now. since the rev.
enues are ample, and even excessive in
support Of the state government, and in
nsmueh as the university needs all Its
lust and legal available resources, it Is
certainly proper that this long deferred
settlement should be made by the re-
transfer Of these bonds and interest g

of this place. First let us say that
this torrent rushing down to the north
west, has scooped out deep wide
basin, from the Canada side, as nearly
semicircular in its shape as it could
be made. When the waters finally
escape theis confinement they rush out
sharp to the northeast.
Those persons who declare that
there is no whirlpool, but merely a
succession of small eddies, can not
have used their eyes. The torrent
comes in with the same mighty rush
aud uproar that has characterized it
in its course from the suspension
bridge down, shoots perhaps three
quarters of the way across the chasm,
takes a swirl in to the left. and comes
straight back, with diminished force,
it is true, but still with a powerful
current, and again falls into the main
torrent. The other third of the basin,
toward the shores. looks compare
lively calm, but it is in fact agitated
bv ceaseIess suctions and under-cur-
rents, and from this side the great
volume of the water escapes down the
stream.
None of the swindlers, pseudo
swimmers. and high brags, who have
visited Niagara this summer. have
displayed any anxiety to enter the
river at this point and try their fur.
tunes in the grand round of the whirl-
pool. Most Of them have pooh.pooh
ed at it, and advertised the most cheer
ful confidence that he who passed the
rapids safely would have no difficult,
here. but none of them have tried 1t.
All such remarks are merely TIT
offspring of ignorance. Old inhabitant'

opinion that no swimmer cOult

MurdeTed While Asleep-A Man Arrested
 Suspicion of Killing His Wife.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 23.-Andrew Koerner, a dairyman living near the city, is under ar- rest for the murder of his wife, who WAS found dead in bed yesterday morning with the man standing over her body. Koerner married her less than seven years ago and three children are the result of the union. The family live in a squalid tenement of three rooms, one of which is occupied by the hired man named Henry Wampt. Koerner has long borne the reputation in his neigh. borhood of passionate man. The quarrels last summer she prosecuted him, owing to his brutality, and he was placed under bonds to keep the peace. There was 8 heavy cut on the body of his wife near the right tenn pie made by blunt weapon; her nose was broken, the lips cut and several teeth dislodged, and the indications were that she must have been struck while asleep She was dressed fully, but over her was drawn the usual covering of the bed. Prior to the arrival of the authorities Mr. Koerner told several conflicting stories, and he even attempted to cast suspicion upon his brother Valentine, who lives short distance away, by saying: Maybe he done it, for he and my wife didn't get along together. He didn't like her, and they were quarreling about some Christmas doings '' Then he told his children that .'oolored man got in and killed mother, and took his pantaloons with $4 or $5 in money" The pantaloons were afterwards found in the yard The man told several other conflicting stories ,and was finally taken to jail, where at late hour he was oloseted with his attorneys. and de- clined to make any statement. Wampt, the hired man, was at first suspected of compile ity in the murder, but he tells plain story. Koerner's attorneys say their client is inne. cent, and that the wife was killed by a tramp while her husband was out milking, duty he begins at 3 o'clock in the morning.

 SAN FRANCISCO, December 23.-If Stan dard, Huntington and Crocker had known of the existence of the letters written by Hunt ington to Cotton during th> period from 1876 to 1879, 1t is likely they would have compromised with Mrs. Colton rather than have their alleged corrupt practices exposed and risk congressional investigation. The Chronicle publishes to-day the entire series of letters, numbering three hundred and covering three pages. The correspondence exposes the fact that for years past the Gen. tral Pacific officials have been engaged sys- tematicalIy in debauching senators and rep resentatives, have purchased legislatures, newspapers and Associated Press agents, have presented fraudulent reports declared dividends with borrowed money. gobbled up steamships and railroad lines. and committed all sorts of wickedness. The letters are nearly complete history of the infamous lobbying which disgraced the country while the Texas Pacific bill to guarantee the inter- est of the bonds of the road was before Con- eress, showing oonclusiyely that the methods adopted by Tom Scott were fully as corrupt

The small estimation

as Huntington's. TheJ small estimation which Huntington entertained from promi- nent politicians in and out of Congress is justified from the fact that he was enabled to bring large number over to his side, or, as he terms it, succeeded in convincing them.'' Huntington speaks of Senator >Conever of Florida as man who can be ''convinced. and afterwards alludes to him contemptuous. ly as ttnot worth spending money on." Senator Gordon of Georgia, who posed as southern responsibility personiied, is alluded to as the more than eager friend of the Gen. trsl Pacific and instrumental in getting up an excursion party to visit the Pacific coast in the interest of the Southern Pacific, while in the senate his arguments against Thur mans sinking fund bill were those emanatipg from Huntington. The fact is suggested from the letters that every southern Congressman opposed to the Texas Pacific had been ''con- vinced' by Huntington. Gilbert 0. Walker, ex-Governor of Virginia, member of the Fort sixth Congress, is spoken of as a stslippery fellow'' and Colton is advised to do the best he can with him, but not to trust him too much. Dr. Gwin, ex-United States Senator, or, as he is called on this coast,
 
 to go through the South denouncing the Texas Pacific scheme. His employers instructed him to carefully conceal the fact that he was working in the interest of the Central Pacific. Hunt ington was pleased with Givin, rebuking him but once when he made mistake in riding over the ground in the same car with one of his masters, Charles Crocker. There is professional lobbyist of this coast, one Billy Carr, who was on the most friendly terms with Gorham and Sargent. The latter, re- ferring to Carr as stmy personal and political friend Billy Oarr,' according to these letters was in the employ of the Central Pacific. In the letter of December 2, 1875, Hunting ton writes about an interview had with Sar- gent and Gorhsm. Sargent was mad and Gorham complained that they had been treated shamefully bad; that Carr had not been paid. Cotton replies by telegram that Carr had been paid $60, GOO in Southern Pa cific bonds and asking how much Carr's ser vices would be worth in the future. Hunt ington's answer is that it depends upon whether they want him in the future, that if Carr could control his friends such services might be worth $10,o0O or $2O.OOO year. To Jay Gould he pays the compliment of saying T think him the worst man to do anything with ever knew"
