Roport of tho Committeo on tho
State Collego.
Mr. Ackorly, from the committor to 1
investigate the Pennsylvania State Col
lege, presented the following report:
In submitting tho evidence the commit
tee bog leave to report as the result of
their investigation into the attain of the
Pennsylvania State College, that while the
evidence does not show actual fraud or dis
close corrupt management of the funds re
ceived by said institution, yet your com
mittee are of the opinion that tho testimony
does conclusively indicate that the in
stitution has been very badly managed ;
that its location is a very undesirable one;
that the building Is entirely uoauited for
which it was erected j that the agricultur
al department which was intended to be
tho leading object of tho institution, ha
never been a success, and that the State (
has never received ainl is nt now receiv- j
ing benefits at all commensurate with the '
amount of money which has been appro- '
priated to said institution by tho United |
States and this State. We also Had the '
congress of the United States granted to
the State 780,000 acres of land, which by
bad management, netted the State only
$43'J,000 ; the act of Congress granting
this vast amount of land required that the i
proceeds thereof should be used by the '
State mainly in the interest of agriculture 1
and the mechanical arts ; that tho internet |
accruing from this fund, in addition to j
some $400,000 appropriated by the State
legislature, is used and controlled by tho
trustees of said agricultural college ; that
in addition the trustees aforesaid hold the
bond of the State bearing "> per cent, in- j
terest, dated February if, IBTg, calling for
$-100,000, and falling due 60 years from
date, from which the said trustees derive a
revenue of $-"!<•,000 annually. Your com
mittee find the evidence disclose, the fur
ther fact that tho deeds for all the freehold
belonging to said Pennsylvania Slate Col
lege, including the experimental farms, are
held bv the aforesaid trustees, not in trut
for the commonwealth but for the afire
said trustees and their successors. Your
committee also find that the eijerimcntnl
farms owned by said trustee* which were
to be conducted solely in the interest of
the agricultural class of the common
wealth, have utterly failed to accomplish
the object intended. This i notably so in
the case of the western farm located in
Indiana county which is not now a third
class farm nor in as good condition as
when purchased. Your committee also
find that at the present session of the col
lege but forty-six students are in nt
tendance, many of whom are non-residents
of the State, and that there is now in the
employ of the college eleven professors,
which we deem out of all proportion with
the number of student, in attendance.
Finally, your committee is of the opinion
that the trustees have signally failed to
carry out the object for which the mngnifi
s-ent land grant was given by the United
States and which was further sought to b
accomplished by most liberal appropria
tions on the part of the State.

In connection wijh the above report
Mr. Ackerly offered the following reso i
lution:
RrmtlrfA (if the senate concur), That
the State treasurer be and is hereby in
structed to pay no more money to the said
Pennsylvania State Csdlego or to any of its
officers, agents, or representatives until it
shall be satisfactorily shown to this or sue- .
reeding legislature* that said Pennsylvania
State College has fully complied with the
requirements of the act of Congress of
July 2, 1802, and with the several acts of
the legislature in relation thereof, nor un
til such time as this or succeeding legis
latures shall be fully satisfied that the ag
ricultural and mechanical interests of the
State are receiving from such uollege act
ual benefits which are commensurate with
the amount of money expended for its sup
port and maintenance.
The report and the resolution were
then adopted by the house.
The above is a moat remarkable ro
port in more particulars than one—it
in as remarkable for what it omits a*
for the many palpably false state
ments it contains. It says "that while
the evidence does not show actual
fraud or disclose corrupt management
of the funds received by said institu
tion, yet your committee arc of the
opinion that the testimony docs con
clusively indicate that the institution
has been very badly managed." Just
what kind of evidence would be suffi
cient in the minds of this committee
to indicate a thing which was not
proven of course we are unable to
say. Hut surely this committee should
have informed the legislature in what
this had management consisted ; when
it occurred; who was responsible for
it, and what remedy is now necessa
ry to correct it. Was this had man
agement all in the past, or does it
continue now? In what department
did it exist—in the expenditure of the
funds of the College, the course of
instruction given to students, or the
mode and extent of conducting agri
cultural experiments? Surely if this
committee f.niud had management
thev should linve been aide to tell
what it was. The truth is, no single
member of the committee ever in
quired into, and now knows nothing
about cither the past or present man
agement of the College.
"That its location is a very unde
sirable one." In what respect pray?
Is it off to one corner of the State?
Is it located in a sickly or unhealthy
neighborhood ? We are of course at
a loss to know what would consti
tute in the opinion of this particular
committee, a desirable loration for a
State college. Hut we do know that
a large committee, composed of lead
ing, distinguished and disinterested
gentlemen from various parts of the
State, after visiting and fairly and
fully considering every location offer
ed for the State College, selected this
location over all others in consequence
of the many advantages which it pre
sented; and we know further, that it
is most central, healthful, beautiful
and economical. What advantages
any other possible location could jxt—
sess over these we are uuakle to im
agine.
"That the building is entirely tin
suited lor the purposes for which it
was erected." Here again we are left
in tin- dark, for the commit tec docs
not deign to inform the legislature, or
the people, in what respect this build
ing is faulty. Is it too large or too
small? Is it too sulstautiil or too
frail ? Is it too high or not high
enough ? Ha* it too many or too few
rooms? Is it the exterior appcar
anecs or the internal arrangements
that fail to satisfy the architectural
ideas of this legislative committee?
Arc the private rooms of the students,
the recitation rooms, the society halls,
the laboratories, cabinets, the library
rooms, parlors, or the chapel, or nil of
them together, that are unsuiteil for
the purposes for which they were in
tended ? The truth is, n larger, more
substantial or more commodious Col
lege building does not exist in the
State of Pennsylvania. It i true
that n defect exists as to the lighting
of the halls, which is rapidly being
removed. Hut this very slight def.-ct
is surely not what the members of the
committee had in their minds when
they coudemncd it as a whole.
"That the agricultural department,
which was intended to be the leading
object of the institution, lias never
lieeti a success." Here agniu we are
in a sea of doubt as to what this im
maculate committee means. I)o they
refer to the instructions given in the
agricultural counsel to the students in
the College, or to the system of experi
ments in practical agriculture carried
on iipoit the experimental farms, or to
Ixjth ? No individual member of the
committee was coni|>ctcnt or qualified
to judge of either, for the simple
reason they knew notliiugalmut either,
and refused to learn. While at the
College they never inquired what was
taught in the agricultural course or
asked to examine an agricultural stu
dent to know whether he was learning
anything useful in that department.
The committee did not visit any one
of the cx|>crimciital farms to see for
themselves what was leing done, nor i
do we believe that any member of the
! committee ever read one, of the de- |
tailed reports of the results of the ex
periments which have been carried on
for the last Urn years upon the eastern
and central experimental farms and
which reports have been published
annually and could all have been
found among the legislative documents.
" And that the State has never re
ceived and is not now receiving bcue
fits at all commensurate with the
amount of money which has been ap
propriated to said institution by the
United States and this Btatc." Here
again this astute committee fails to
make its meaning clear. They have
failed to fix the standard of benefits
which in tlioir opinion wouhl he com
inenmirnto with any given MI in of
money. Of courmt tliii committee
liml a very clear conception of pecu
niary worth of educational advantage*}
and iu the niimU of it* iiicinhern they
mensural accurately, the ndvnntnges
which the State had received, in now
receiving and will hereafter receive,
I and found tlicy were not commtiuurate
♦villi the amount of money heretofore
appropriated. But having failed to
give the public this standard we are
unable to go over their calculation*
j and thus detect any possible mathe
matical error which they have com
mitted. Seeing however an error in
I one their factors, to-wit, the amount
;of money appropriated, we have a
right to conclude that their whole eal- 1
culution is necessarily erroneous. The
committee Matt* that the College is
receiving the interest of 84311,000,
the proceed* of the sale of laud scrip,
iu addition to some $lOO,OOO appro- j
printed by the Statu legislature, and
in addition the trustees hold the bonds
of the State hearing six |HT cent, in
terest for $500,000. This makes an
aggregate of 81,330,000. Kvcry mem
ber of the committee knew this state
ment was absolutely false, or such
member was a horn idiot. The Col
lege is receiving the interest on the
$500,000 bond last mentioned, and no
more. This bond includes the pro
ceeds of the sale of the land scrip and !
all State appropriations except those
made originally towards the construc
tion of the building, and one of SKO,-$ K 0,-
000 made ill IHTH to pay a mortgage,
placed on the College property iu 1
by virtue of an net of the legislature.
No part of which last appropriation
had been paid when this committee
madc its rejeirt.
" Your committee find the evidence
discloses the further fact, that the !
deeds for all the freehold belonging 1
to the -aid Pennsylvania State College,
including the experimental farms, are !
held by the aforesaid trut<ea not in
tru-t for the Commonwealth hut for
the aforesaid trustees and their succes
sors." This is another statement a
barren of truth as the committee wa
of common sense. All of the title
deeds for the College projtcrty were at
the College when the commit Lee was
there. They might have examined
them if they had dsircd to do so, hut
they did not. These deeds are all re
corded in the counties where the pro
perly is situate! and the records might
have lieen examined hv these Sdons,
had they kuowu enough to have look
ed for tlieui. If they had read any
of thes- deed- or the record* of them,
one member of the committee proba
bly, (for he is reputed to IK- a fair law -
yer', would have seen that the title is
et held by the trust"-** in trust for
themselves or anybody else. The title
for all the real estate was made direct
ly to the corporation, and is not held
by anyliody in trust for it, or for its
truste*. The original deed from (ten.
dames Irwin fur the four hundred
acres of land in Centre county was
made to the " Farmers' High School
of Pennsylvania," which was then the
name of the corporation. The eor
porate uaiue having been changed to
the " Agricultural College of Pennsyl
vania," the deeds for the eastern and
western experimental farms were made
to it. llow the title was held, should
have been known to one member of ;
the committee at least—.Senator Tho*. !
St. Clair —for, as President of the In
diana County Agricultural Society, he
purchased at 8400 per ncrc a portion
of the western experimental fnrrn
which this re|Krt denounces as hut a
third rate farm; and rSreivcd a deed
therefor, not from the " aforesaid
trustees," hut from the Pennsylvania
State College, executed under its cor
poratc seal.
The re|K>rt further states, that there
are eleven professors now in the em
ploy of the College and hut forty-six
student* in attendance at the present
session. The statement as to the num
lier of professors is correct, ami is the
only single grain of truth contained
in the entire report. The statement
as to the nuinlier of students each and
every mcml>cr of the committee, of
liia own knowledge, knew to IKS false,
as there were one hundred and five
students present in the College build
ing on tho day the committee was
there, nud ninety-five of them were
in the ehapel, when Senator St# CI air
addressed them, congratulating them
upon the many and great advantages
they possess for obtaining a thorough
and useful education at that in*litu
lion.
The most surprising tiling to us
about this whole report is thut Hena-
I tor Allen Craig and Representative
: Provins could have been induced to
j sign such a tissue of falsehoods. They
i both appear to he intelligent and fair j
j men,and we cannot imagine that tlicy
would intentionally ami deliberately
do such a gross injustice to a public
institution of their State. The re|x>rt
was probably prepared anil presented
to them in the hurly-burly of the last
days of the session and they signed it
without actually knowing what it con
tained. This is a charitable view to
take, hut even this is not compliment
ary to the care and circumspection of
two representatives acting on behalf
of more than four millions of people.
As to Representative ,1. T. Khocncr,
he is a light weight and would proba
bly not understand this report if lie ;
would read it now. As for the chair
man of this committee, Representative
A. I. Ackerly, in order that our read
ers may have his full measure, it is |
only neces-nry to state thut he repre
sented the Mollie Maguire- of I.ucku
wanna; that he was an ardent sup
porter of the four million steal, com
monly known us the riot hill, and
voted ngninst the expulsion of I'etroff,
Ruuilmrger and Smith, the three mem
ber" couvicted of violating the provis
ions of the Constitution and Statute
against bribery and corruption. The
Penusylvauia Suite College will not
suffer very materially from tin i
wounds made by the gaffs of this
Lackawanna roonter. Sriator Tho-.
St. Clair for the last four y ar- ha
bcn trying to instruct his fellow sen
ators u| sin the "ciijinbilliim" and "i>oW

Ifiiycs and His Votoca No. 2.
Wno#n lar lh <"SWTS liinxtii.
Fr-im what ha# Imeh said, It is rb-ar n<l
'snnot ls> contradicted that the Sun*
united in forming the union of State*
known as the I'niU-d Slate# of America,
and conterr.-d all the limited |>wcr# con
tain" 4 in the Constitution of the I'nin-d
Mati-i, and that th<* Constitution i nferr—l
no power to the Slat"*. And it is the i
duty of every American citizen to warn
the people of the encroachment* of the
t'niK-d St*to* Executive, which, clothed
with tilt- pretext of noeity, or disguised
by argument* of expediency, may yet e
tabiish pr<v .-denU who b may ultimately
devote a generous and unsuspicious people
to all the consequence* of un#ur|H-d power.
These atn-mpu furnish the strongest incite
ment* U|s>n the Stale legislature* arid the
|ss,pl, and im|**c upon them tho strong
<-st obligations to preserve unimpared the
line <>f jxirtitmn ftahlitherf hetween the
State# and tho federal government in that
charter. A* it is manifest that tho Con
stitution does not Iswlow upon the Presi
dent despotic power over the right* of the
States, such measure# ls-ing jricon-itent
with our Constitutional principles, a* lie
may confound monarchy with Republican
ism. Ho may varnish over the dexterity
which ambition never fails to display,
with the pliancy of language, tho seduc
tion of ex|>odiency, or the prejudice of tho
times, and he may como to avow that so
extensive a territory a* that of the United
States cannot be defended except by United
States Marshals, standing armies, Ac., and
that it cannot be united except by consoli
dation. It is a trite remark, that a nation
of freemen can never find a master until
they have become fit to bo slaves. What
ever truth there may lie in the oliservation
the d- scent from liberty to despotism is so
easy—power is so porpeiually stealing
from the many W> the few—and so spacious
are the pretests witn which the sppr<iach<s
of tyranny are marked, that a generous
people are liahlo to I*> betrayed and may
find themselves in cbaina before they are
aware of the appr<.aeh of danger. The
history of the United States forcibly ad
monishes tho citizens of America that they ■
should suffer no intrusion of their political
rights and constitutions, however trivial
the instance may ap|>ear, to pass away,
without a determined, porsisling resistance.
Kvery unreprovod invasion of our politi
cal rights invites the crusaders of arbitrary
power against the public liliertim.
Messrs. Editors, time will not permit
to report the debates in the convention
that formed the Constitution of the United
State*, where it will be found that the
Slate* in their reprneenlative rapacity,
formed and ratified it a* Stale*, and as I
said beforo every President and Vice Pros
dent, except the first and third, were elect
ed under the provisions of the 12th article
of that instrument, except Mr. llaye*.
How are the Presidents elected 7 The 11 Hi
article of the Constitution points out the
method, via: "Each State. shall appoint,
as the I,ogi*laturo thereof moy rfi rtet, a
number of elector* equal to the whole num
ber of Senator* and Representatives to
which tho Slafi may be entitled in the
Congress," Ac. "The electors shall meet
in their respective place* and vote by bat
lot for two persons," Ac. And in the 12th
article, "hut in choosing the President the
vote shall bo taken by Statu," A<\ And
the oth article declare* "the enumeration
in tho Constitution of certain rights, shall
not be construed to deny or disparago oth
ers rotnliiod by tho people." From those
extracts it appears that tho States liavo the
right to choose elector* for President and
Vice President without molestation or in-
J tiro illation from United Slates marshal*,
; supervisor* or tho army on election day
Hut tho question recurs, w* Mr. Hayes
elected President tinder tho provision* of
the Constitution of the United State* ? No
one having a due regard for honesty, truth
and intelligence will a-errl that he was.
! Let us see how he was placed in the
Presidential chair. In 1870tho Democrat
ic party nominated Marnu'd J. Tiiden a#
their candidate for President, and the Re
publicans nominate"! Rutherford It. llaye
as tlu-ir candidate. The election was bold,
and it is clearly proven Tiiden wa- elect
ed by the votes of the people by more
than Is sal fa million majority. Hut the < ir
; cumtlartcc* and proven fact* showing the
result of lhaleleclion by tie* manipulation,
fraud, jx rjury and forgery, supjiorted by
federal troops in Florida, Louisiana Kiel
South Carolina are so recent and well known
! to the American people that it would be
superfluous t/i go into details. Suffice it to

bio murder w*s committed in an ele
gant residence on Forty second street,
between Sixth and Broadway, New York
city. The victim was Mr*, .lane 1.. I>
Forest Hull, an aristocratic lady who
moved in the best circle* in New York
society. Mr*. Hull, at the time of her
death, wa* fifty eighty year* of age.
She wa* married at sixteen and two
year* later went to Ixindon with her
husband, where they lived a number of
year*. She was deecril#ed at that time
a* a mwl beautiful women. U|on her
return to thi* country she grew very
tle*hy and lost much of her beauty.
She weighed nearly three hundred
pound*. She wa* a descendant of the
old and well-known 1 Forrest family
and was born in New York, ller
1 brother, Theodora lb# Forrest, wa* at
one tune connected wiih the f'rolon
Hoard. So proud waa she of her an
ceatry that in making her signature
she invariably prefixed her full maiden
name of Jane I*. lie Forreat to the
name of Hull. For a number of year*
she wa* an active member of Borosi*. a
pronounced aupporter of the cause of
woman suffrage and a member of the
Woman's Huifrage Society, which held a
meeting at her house about two month*
ago. Unlike the majority of the other
active member* of that organization,
she aeldom, if ever, addressed audi
ence#. She was also a firm believer in
Spiritualism. A few year* ago she was
well off, hut it ia suppose"! that she io*l
much of her property in speculation.
Among the articles which the robber*
secured were the contents of two pur
aea, a valuable gold watch and chain,
the rings which were torn from her
finger* and various other ring*. Among
theae were a solitaire diamond, a clutter
diamond, an emerald set with diamond*
and a very valuable cameo ring with a
mosaic setting. A pair of diamond
aoliuira ear rings i* alto minting, as
well aa a pair of vaiuabla cameo ear
rings and a diamond cross. In all not
