PreserviBg Discipline M West Point-Cadets

The President and the Secretary OF War are most
emphatcaliy opposed to the tme-honored custom
West Point oI "hazngn or ''deyiling the plebcs y
as 1t Is called at the Academy It received It's first
check from the late Secretary Stanton, In 1884, and
since then by various measures adopted by the aca
demIc officers II has been brought within compare
lively narrow limits. The Administration, however
seems determined to Danish every semblance OF It
for ever go that even the recolcctions OF it may
time be lost At least such appears to be the plain
construction OF the following order
ORDER-No. 20.
WAR DEPARTMENT.. OFFICE OF THE
INSPECTOR OF THE MILITARY ACADEMY,
WASHiNGTON, Dec. 9, 1870 J
BY direction OF the Secretary Of War the following
named cadets OF the United STATES Military Acade-
my are hereby dismissed the service OF the United
sell French, for wlful violation the night OF the
ldth day OF November last Of their pledge OF honor
not In any manner to interfere WITH haruss, molest
or in jurc new cadets; Cadets Edwin p. Andrews
Myr0n w. Howe, George X Smith and Robert p. p.
Wainwright for unauthorized and highly improper
interference with the cadet sentinel's duty posted
at West Point on the night OF the 10th Of November
last. Edmund SChRIvER,
Brevet Major GeneI al, Inspector.

The irrepresslble colored cadet, ]. w. Smith, at
West Point has again been heard from at the War
Department, IN an order to the following effect
Cadet ]. w. Smith, having been reported for sub
mtting explanation containing disrespectful re-
fecions ON the conduct of the reporting ofcer no
reported him for an offence OF the 2Sth
nit, will be confined To the area OF the
cadet barracks until tho 1st day OF February
next, tnat he may be better impressed with
the importance OF adherng to the regulations oi
The Military Academy While he IL there.
The order designating his punishment is accom-
panied with the following
Cadet Smith has been at the Academy long enough
TO know how to obtain redress for grievance and
had ne pursued sae pfOpea course ane matter would
done him.
It would appear that the colored cadet has not
wholly made up his mind to live in subordnation to
the discipline Of the Academy, and doubtless pre-
sumes upon his complexion ana status for certain
immunities. 1t s nevertheless fact that he is los
ing the sympathy ef many who were disposed to be-
friend him. believing thar ho would have difficulties
