Howard UNIVERSITY AND THE FREED- MEN'S HospitaL.—We learn from one of the trustees of Howard University, that it has no connection whatever with the management of the Freedmen’s Hospital. It owns all the building: nearly all the spacious grounds pied by the hospital, and also the. steam ine and pumping apparatus. All these it rents to the government, resery! in the lease, as port oF the compensation, the use of the pumping apparatus suficiently to keep the tank in the university filled, from whieh the houses of the professors at supplied. The trustees have never protested ay moval of Dr. Palmer, in case there should ap. pear sufficient ground. They have simply requested Secretary Schurz ani the Preside not to make a change without the a reason, because Dr. Palmer is also U of their medical faculty, lectures gratuitously, and affords valuable did to the me sta. dents by their admission to the hospital ; and because they have always had reason to con- fide in his fntegrity and ability. Secretary Schurz assured the ‘President, in the presen of the trustees, that he made no charges whieh reflected on the moral integrity of Dr. Palmer but it was simply a question of efficient: man agement.
