Corporation-Counsel Bonfield returned from Washlngton yesterday, and a TRIBURE roporter went to him to find out what he knew about Valentine scrip, and other matters concerning the lake-shoro property. “What do they think of the scrip at ths Cap- Jtal1" was the introductory questlon. “Everybody sad it was an intamous swindle. All I saw who had pald any stteation to the matter wero of the oninlon that tho rizhts of Chleago wers clear and should bo sustained.” 110w {5 the House bill gottlog alongt? 4]t has been road twice, and ta backed by the whole Committes who reported it. Tt will come up under tho call for commuttecs, and bo put on ternal atanding with his brethren any longer an openone. The declsion of the Councll is per- manent. Consisting of thirty members from scventeen different and influential churches o Chicago and vicinity, well versed In (.‘onzmi’m tional nnd Christian polity, thelr result will ba accepted as final. And’ an humble and sc- knowledged acquiescenca fn that result by those who hava incuered itscensure Is theonly method by which they can bo restored to a good and n'imlur standing. fow Ior the members of the Council and others whom the President, in his characteristic style, has done tho honor azain to malign, may think {t worth while to ropel his nspersions, it is for them to judge. Ife has pald myse!l more respeet than'd really merlt, and Tam still quite satisfied with the fladings of the Council. But It does scem oo bad that a portfon of the pub- Me who do not know tho Presldent should be so persistently Imposcd upon by his sophistry and falschood. When ho represents that my pecuniary cialms were preferred upon strictly and technically legal grounds, conceded to be of doubtful ten- uro, he must know that ho makes a falsc im- preasion upon the public mind. And when he would maKe it appear that those claims were based upon *‘letters procurcd thirteen years Iater to make out a casc,” ho knows that ho rverts the truth, becauso ho knows that those etters are only written forms of a wish ex- pressed when ny endowment was ralsed, which endowment could have baen ohtained from those sources for no one elsc, and that the wish would have been put into the bond but for m; own exoressod preference to rely upun what then supposcd to be the honor of the President and hia coadfutors. “Vhie truth of what 1 say Is llm:nrcnt from the followlng extracts from those ctters: the land"! His commendations, {ndecd, sccord- ing to his wont, hiail been fulsome ad nausenm. The Rev. J. B, Walker, D, ., has dona mo tho honor (1) to say that, In his opiniou, I was as well qualificd {or my position as tho President was for his,”" and to state uncquivocall that “thére were more reasons why hie ahoul resign than why I should.” According to tno testimony of many of our best graduates and otners, who understand tho merits of our con- unvenr It 1 had been as subscrvient na desira- ‘blo not| l‘n‘ would have_been heard of iny fn- competency. Nor have I tha vanity to boast of any distinguished abilitics, mental or moral, Brit 1 will say that if 1 am ‘‘not combelent to be s guido of our youth,” I think I am compe- tent to resist such tyranny of opinfon and un- scrupiious measured as 1 hnye encouutered In the administration of Wheaton College, And it 1s hardly a question in my mind that for o place in it Faculty incompetency to resist the will of its cxecutive head is a superlor quallfica- tion to a meutar aml moral ability to cuitivate in our youth the purest taste and the profound- cst and, at the same time, the most truly cath- olie Chriatian principles, = ® But these few references to the Prestdent’s misrepresentations of my case must sullice as speclinens of the whole,” They are cnough to show the foundatlon of the popular Impresslon that his statoments where his own interests are {nvolved peneraliy need confirmation, and that “he does not really know when he {s proven o perverter of tho trutl.’? And b Is just shrewd enough in the insinuation of his slanders avainst his brethren to avold ground of civil prosceution for libel. But with the unequivocal declsion ol the late covneil to which, fu its pub- lshed ¥ report,! the attentlon of the public is fnvited, and with o good conscience io the sight ot itm who knows all hearts, I ean scurcely concelve of a future occaslon for any further persunal defeuse against the cowardly, cruat, and false accusations of President Blanchard, J.
