The Patriot, of Welti lev morning March 26, contains hii article purpor ting to give an sccount of tin' proceed ingsof the hoard of trustees of the State College at its nicetingnn the evening of the2">tli. wtiich is soexsctly theopji .ito of the truth, that I am sure you will do sire to correct the error into which you have been unwiuinglv led. 1. The statement that'" ihe o->mmit tee could not work in harmony' is un I true, hut if thewriteronly meant tos\ that they could not agree in their con elusions, that wouid state the exact fact. 2. It is not true that "the pros dent of the college insisted il|>nn reaming l the large faculiyof sixteen instructors The number is not 100 large for the work required, hut it was apparent that some reduction of the (orro would have to be made, in order to hring expendi ture withm income, and the president of the college, accordingly, long before the appointment of this committee was ; msde. proposed to the executive com mitteoof the hoard of trustees theids. 1 lion of the study ot Greek, and later when the specinl committee met he propose.' a still further reducl'nti though not so great nor of such kind as was hy the tr.ajori'y of the j committee. 3. It is not true that th-- report of th. msjeritv of the committee was adopted. <'n the contrary the report of the pre*- dent of the college (the minority of the committer), was adopted with only a single modification, viz: "Combining with another chair one that hebelieved it better to msiniaeted t>jr the trils tees. First, because it was regard"! a a dir.-rt violation of the 1 iw of congress governing the inst tution ; and, second tier "it-e i- was no' fi|ieei to lie in ac COTd with the prevailing public opinion or MISU. I lie law oi tongresa, which i the state of Pennsylvania has accepted, "with all its provision* and condition*,' defines the acoj e of the institution' in these words; "The leading ot.j*rt j shal he, without excluding other , scientific and classical studies, and in '• eluding military tactics, to teach such brunches of learning * are related to j agriculture and the mechanic arts, in auch manner as the legislature of the atate may prescribe, in orderjto promote the liberal and practical education o( the industrial classes in the several j pursuit and professions in life." It will he seen that this law requires provision to be made for teaching in the" branches of lrarning relating to j .mechanic arts,"' a* fully as in those re- I lating to agriculture. At the same time, the institution is to be a "college" devoted to "liberal 1 a* well as "praoti cal ' education. Accordingly, th. strength of the institution is devoted to instruction in the mathematical, physical, and natural sciences, with a view to giving that broad and deep foundation ol exact knowledge which will oreeare the student for a suc cessful career in any of the great indu* trial activities of our time. We are doing more in the direction of scientific and progressive agriculture than when that w.m the exclusive work of the institution; but, io addition to that, we are furnishing a sound jind liberal college education, on the basis of the modern languages and modern •cienoe*. The decision of the trustees was aim ply to continue in this line of work which is meeting with so many gratify ing evidence of public favor, and which doss justice to all interests, with iojus tier to none.

His Health Equally an Qood as it Was Four Yours Ago 111 T LIT DOES NOT IVANT THE NOMINATION ANII CANNOT TAKE IT HALTIMORK, April I.—The .Vim yester day sent one of its most trusted enrres pendents to seo Samuel.l. Tilden, and to-night received a dispatch from him, in which occurs the following : Gov. Tilden sat in an easy chnirin front of an open fire in his library at 10 o'clock this morning, looking quite comforta bio and satisfied with himself and the outer world. As I entered he arose, and with smiling welcome extended hir hand, Governor Tilden shows scarcely a perceptable change in appearance in the last four years, except that hi* voice may be a trifle more feeble; ho has a fin healthy color, his hearing is acute and his eye as bright as it was I twenty years ago. In the course of ; convetsalion, he exp,cs>ed himself quite freely several time*, hut immediately followed bin remarks with the Injuc I tion lie was nor speaking for publication- John Ihgelow, who was present, ex I plained that Governor Tilden had been so cruelly misrepresented in print ; sometimes, perhaps, unintentionally— , ibe hid determined to author /e no more interview. Gov. Tilden asked me about the progress of legislation in \S a-h ingtoti and what the democratic nia j jority of the House would do. Ho had decided op.nions in this respect, hut lid not wish theni recorded. I said to hitn tl. re was a very gener .1 feeling in political circles in Washington that the democratic party had gotten into n muddle; that he was the only man who , could extricate it and that his candid icy was a necessity. At this ho leaned'over close to my ear and *sid very slowly and distinctly "I do not want the notn ination and cannot take it." Then he repeated, "No, 1 cannot give up the peace and quiot which I enjoy here for . four years' toil and strife. I am seventy years old I cannot do it." I thin said, I it ha I been rutnor>-1 it e In* purpose . to write a formal letter announcing bi position with reference to the I'resi dency. He said "Yes, I had though of that, and it is not improbable I will do it, but not yet." I then suggested that perhaps he would follow the same , course as in 18*0, and entrust the letter to some friend to te laid before the Convention when it assembled. He said ihgelow did not want him to write a letter a: all. Bigelow spoke up and said, "That's so. There is no-ufli< cut pretext for writing any letter at present nor should there be any misapprchen sion as t<> Mr. Tilden's altitude on this subjuct. He is not called upon to make any further declaration mov." i Upon rising to leave I said (o Mr. Tilden tint his friends and adtnirr r* hoped i e would enjoy good health md prolonged life. His fare brightened up he • tid I"I do enjoy good health: I li.ia <• no complaint to mvke on that score. He then raisciand let fsi I e. h arm, s'rurk out from both shoulder* and followed this with vigoron* stamping of first one foot and th-n the other on th 'carpet an I said quit* jocularly. ' N" ■ paralysis there." Taking my arm he walked with a firm *t -p the *h !<• length of the spacious library, and par ted from me at the door with crdiJ grasp of the hand and with h*r > hi* I friends in Maryland. "Governor Tilden," adds the i'orre< pondent, "snid enough to convince nr* he is entirely -incere in his nnnunr, I disinclination to stand for the Presi dency ; that he prefers luxury and ele 'ginryathis own pl*ndid home, and the charm of a small Tut selc. t circle of congenial fr ends which centres around i him, to the White House bauble. But ! this is no reason why, when the Hem : ocratlc Uonveniion n>*et, it should not nominate Mr, Til len if its merol*>r* think he is the best available man. A responsibility would then be fixed upon 1 him, which, however, much as he may magine to the contrary it i* impossible j for him to realise now." Important Deciaion A decision was rendered by the Su preme <'ourt of the United States to day in a case which involve# an inter eating question a- to the re#|>on*ihility of the National bank for certificate* of it* stock fraudulently issued by one of its officer* for hi* own benefit without the knowledge of the director* or other official* of the bank and without record on the hnnk'a books. The case is that of Carolina A. Moore. plaintiff in error, against the Citizen-' National Bsnk of I'iqiia, Ohio, an error to the Circuit Court of the United States Southern District of < >hio. The fact* in the case are briefly a* fol lows; Mr*. Moores, plsintifT in error, icnt a sum of money to Hobert B.

The Presi dent and earthier v ere authorized to i**uo now cert ifionte* on Mirrendor of old one*, and tho President hud signed and ioft with tho cashier blank certificate* to ho u*ed if necessary in hi* absence, and Iho certificate issued hy the ra*hior to Mr*.

A More Honeet Anawor •A Workingroan," of Ashland, | Schuylkill county, writes as follows to the Philadelphia I understand that a Tariff levying duties with the view ot Protection is a Protective Tariff, hut is a Revenue Tariff, or a Tariff confined to the revenue necessities, necessarily a Fre< TradeTariffin principle? There is much misunderstanding about the matter, and i ask an eiplanalion from your always accurate journal, on behalf of many j others besides myself. The Timet answer* thi* enquiry in an article two-third* o( a column in length hut which can be resolved into simply this : "The present tariff is oppressive in many of it* features and need* revision. The Democratic Presidents -Five-cent gingham Herman'*. nm i itaiii ii11 y iii . - lt. B. Hpanglnr keeps the best mattress in Bellefonte.

The Morrison- Carlisle school is,however, a fr < trad* school and their uieaMire u lice trade measure." I'be first three of th**n four state ments are torreot. 'I lie fourth is t> downright untruth, deliberate ly t aid with the intention of deceiving. "A Workmgmiui" i* Informed that all who deal ,witn the tariff tuey be diviiled into three general schools, a* follows : i. Thr*e who want Free Trade amino protection whatever. 2 Tboae who want protection, a* they call it, without reference to tbe question of revenue. 3 Those who want a tariff, primarily fur revenue, with the duties to adjusted n* that, while incidentally n*i ting American industries, they shall not aisist in building up or maintaining monopolies or unduly oppre consu mors. The first i* to dream of a lew men in the Democratic party like Watterson. ! Kurd and Mills, an I a somewhat larger j number in the lb-publican party lik* tieorge .lone*, o( the New York YWc, 1 .In*. M-dill, of the t'hiesgo '/Vi'xn. | Henry Ward Beechcr, Thorn* r the m. titenanr, of the government upon home products, in comes, real rotate or other | roperty. I'herrfnre the free trader* would continue import duti< hut only upon such article* as' do nr-t c-.me into com petition with Ann-rican products, principally articles which find their con sumplnn among the wealthy. I Tbe second sre those who look upon the tariff as a means of enabling tbrm t > < barge price* for their j ro-luct* that will cover whatever other natural or other disadvantage* tbey may labor under, to pay them percentages upon th" c*p tal employed that involve ruinous levies upon all other industries to recoup them in bad year* for what ever they may happen to run short ol in good year*, to make them to all intents and purposes, monopolist*. These preach the specious theory that a high protective tariff is essential to enable them to pay better wages than are paid in Kurope. Much preaching is an insult to ordinary intelligence. There i* no sudi difference in wage a* is not more than covered by th*Mi|-ror natural advantages of thi* country and the distances foreign goods must be transported to bring them into com petition with our product* inourown country. For these people the higher th" tariff the belter. If it were twice as high— ten time* as high a* it now they would still pifotest aga:n*t any rc luction. and wou'd have the help of such men like McClure, of tbe 7Wi and Kmory "rnith, of the I'm/, to a. i thrni. The third f the Democratic party a*e gathered. Tt>- party |!it(irm* have no declared in almost every instance. The | rcent Democratic majority was oho*rn on that issue. They arc expected hv the voter* to ci r'a,n wherein the pr< -cm tariff is defective, wherein oppressive, wherein monopolistic in it* tendencies, and to modify it in those particular*. In endeavoring to di*chargc this trust they find themselves a* yet not quite sgreed a* to how far it i* wise and nec j easiry logo. A few think the matter ' ought to be postponed for the present- All admit th.if sooner or Inter a reduc tion should !•* made. Mr Morrison and Mr. Carlisle think 20 pet cent, lit j tie enough, and since the Republican Tar.ff Commission recommended twenty five and the Republican Presj dent and Senate, in approving the Mexican treaty, have added eighteen articles to the free list, it would seem that tbev have some justification for their belief. Oilier* think twenty per cent is too much and would make the reduction less. All, however, are seek ing to mako only such reduction* as are against monopolies, against the accumulation of treasury surpluses and as well leave the employer* no honest excuse for reducing wages. Thc*c difference will he reconciled •lid the party will go into the campaign united upon the old platform, all the self interested predictions of the Rcpub I lican* and assistant Republicans, the monopolist* and assistant monopolist* to the contrary notwithstanding. F.ven the failure of the party reprrs entatives to agree upon and paa* a bill would not e(Vcct£|tbe party principle. Tbe principle la a correct and honest principle, capable of practical applioa tion and sooner or later its advooataa will predominate. And the quicker tha Democratic leader* cut thameelvea wholly loose from the paid lobbyists who art trying to get them by the ears on the question, the better It will he for both periy and country.— Wilkttba-re Union LtaJtr, • Of th<- prominent candidate* it may * he id tliut Arthur.
