ing them they diminish the ability of

Of the officers designated below, such ar

The officers designated by General Ice,

they can render great service to the cause

the efficiency and strength of the army,
particularly the cavalry, and render it
better ablo TO protect tho homes and

The Chicago Republican combats the
view that Congressional representation of
ihs hitherto slsveholding States will bs
greatly increased by the transfer of the
slaves from the condition of "all other
persons" to that Of free persons. The
constitution provides that the enumeration
of the inhsbitsnts for the purpose of ascer-
tsining the number of Representatives to
which each State shall be entitled, shall be
taken once in every ten years, commencing
in 1890. The obvious meaning and in
tention Of the provision is, that the sppor-
tionment shall be made on such enumera-
tion, and shall continue until the next cen
sus ten years later. Such has been the
uniform practice from the foundation Of
the government and we do not see how it
can be changed. The representation of
the Southern States viii, therefore, remain
unchanged until the sppOrtionment which
shsll be made under the census Of 1870.

In regard TO the standard Of admission

which has come down to US from several
previous generations, the Superintendent
aad the Board of Visitors are sgreed. They
think it entirely too low. A boy needs
now only TO be familiar with arithmetic
and know how to read and write the Eng
lish language, TO secure admission. As this

simply make pOt-hooks snd read passsblY

metic, and the rule of three. The result i5

himself confronted with the arts and sci
ences of the world and all that therein is,
he hsgs, fsllers, fzzles and is "fOund'
(wsnting, understOod.) l ascertain from
the record of tho past that the total num-
Der entered at the Academy since the
year OF It's foundation, 1902, is 4,701,
Of whom but 2, ia were graduated. The
great msjority of the 2, ,58T who were not
graduated broke down under the strain
upon their mental, moral, or physical cons
stitution, and left, not necessarily il dis
grace, but from causes too numerous to
mention.
Does not this teach lesson, and, if so,
is it not that higher standard of admis-
sion should be sdopted2 The General
proposes, we understand, that, in addition
TO the present demands, the cadet should
be qualified in grammar, geography and
the history of the United States. -Four
hundred cadets can be comfortably sccom-
modsted without increasing any depart

hundred and forty-fve are in the course.
Soma radical change will doubtless bepro-
posed by the present Board Of Visitors,
and indOrsed ythe Superintendent, which
should secure the respectful attention Of
the powers that be. The question of age,
too, has attracted the attention of the
Board; it now stands from l6 TO p, and
they propose 70 make it from II TO 81.
