A lengthy answer to Bullock's
charges on tho professors, appears in
the Stale Journal, signed by several
prominent citizens of Lincoln, the
most conspicuous of whom is Hon.
O. P. Mason. They write a strong let

lock's 20 charges are denied. They ar
raign tho three regents, viz: Carson,
Fifield and Pershingor, saying they are

Now if Conkling accepts, the cry
will be, "We told you sol The idea of
his not taking anything ho can get."
If ho declines, ureat will be the indig
nation that tho President should send
it nomination in "just for effect."
Other men have been nominated for
positions and have declined, and no
one objected, but of couise there must
bo a different rule for Conkling than
anybody else. Inter Ocean.
Another attempt to assassinate
Queen Victoria was made on tho 2nd
Inst. She was fired at at tho Windsor
railway station as sho was entering
her carriage but escaped unhurt. Tho
man who fired at tho queen was about
to (Ire again when ho was seized and
disarmed. lie was a hard looking
wretch, poorly clad, by the name of
Roderick McLean. Tho citizen by
staudors would have killed him had he
noV been protected by tho polico. Ho
is said to lie a clerk and a native of
London. I for intiiHst.v wiih rtinidlv
driven away, and did not know sho
had neon shot nt until afterward, and
did not seem at all shocked over the
affair. She has been shot at so much
that she Is getting used to it.
Tho Eogenta did not Violate tho Law.
Immediately after tho Jate mooting
of tho Regents of tho University it was
declared by tho Lincoln Democrat and
others, that tho manner adopted by tho
Regents in disposing of those three
professors, was in violation of law.
This charge although soon corrected,
and retracted, oven by tho Democrat,
Is still harped on by some people
'whose only source of information is
what they hear other ignoramuses say.
The truth Is the Jtcgenis nan run au
thority of law for what thoy did and
tho way they did It. The newspapers
that have been pltchlnglnto tho Re
gents, although they may not liave
mado tho dlfect chargo of violation of
law, know1 that such an impression is
abroad, and if thoy mean fair play and
tho whole truth, thoy wll say some
thing in their columns that may re
move tho falso impression from tho
minds of their readers.
Number Two.
Editor AilrortUor.
In your issue of Fob. 10th I find n
reply to No. l by an old church mem
ber. Now, for his sake and his kind,
wo would say that Plaindealer is not u
salaried preacher, and has not been for
ton years, and noVei4 expects to be, con
sequently all his efforts to show that
Plain Dealer was a mercenary nnd
elovonfooted preachor, falls to tho
ground with all tlio rest of his batch of
nonsouso. We did write what, wo bo
liovo was right, and soo no reason to
change our mind. Wo would also any
that as it is posslblo for Plaindealer
to liccomo Old Church Mcmbors' pas
tor, he need not feel any alarm about
his family starving, or going half clad,
or being driven to tho barn to freozo.
No, no, Old Church Member, pay your
preachers better and God will never
let you or yours Buffer. Ho loves h
cheerful giver, but ho that gives spar
ingly will receive sparingly. Again,
Plaindealer has been pastor of stations
in cities of second, third and fourth
olass; pastor of circuits of towns nnd
villages and country, and ho novor had
such insinuations thrown nt him be
fore We presume the reason was he
never preached for such enlightened
and liboral hearted members and peo
ple as Old Church Member May tho
good Lord bless Old Church Member.
May ho live long to do good in tlio
world. Ainon. More anon.
