Excitement at West PoiDt-The Cadets Indig-
mint AT the Order Relieving Their ColOred
"Brothcr in Arnss' from Arrest.
WEST POINT, Nov TO- 1870
The greatest excitement that has relieved the
usual monotony OF military routine at this post since
the battle with dipper weapons between Cadet ]. W.
Wilson and (c0lored) Cadet ]. w. Smith occurred
today at the reception OF the news OF the War De.
partments action concerning the verdict OF the re-
Gently convened general court martial. Had the
accused been sentenced to ba led out and shot pub
lie astonishment could scarcely have been greater
The general expectation that, if Smith escaped
dismissal, he would not fail to DC severely
reprimanded. But simply relieving him
from arrest, under circumstances where
severe punishment has been awarded. Is q
especially the Military Academy rules, strictly
suppress all formed opinions and feelings upon
the sub ect But neither officers nor cares can con-
ceal their feelings, which are well known 70 be quite
unanimous. The cadets do not have such class
meetings as are In vogue In ciyil colleges But they
pointed. Not that they desired TO inure the ac-
cused any more than he is already In their estina-
lion, nor to glory In his punishment, because his
long protracted arrest was severe enough. But
they assert that his prevarcailons and incon'
sstencies have condemned his cadetshonor; that,
black or white as he may be, while in cadet
uniform he is Identified with the corps and tnstltu-
ton; that the most heinous military crime Of false
hood has not been cleared from him; that he is
leased from all penalty and responsibility for the
past and in degree promoted to the rank OF
martyr to colo; and race before his sympathlzers In
the nation large. Every IN the vicinity Of the
court martial was convinced that, with the single
exception OF General Howard, the court Intended TO
place penalty equal to the gravity or the offence
against Smiths name. The cadets feel tnat Smith
has not been justified, and they as
against Smith Is more unanimously bitter and
intense than ever. The previously adopted resou-
way with Smith will be more rigidly observed:
Should another collision occqy Il Is plain that the
result would be more Serious than before. Had he

THE BURCaAR1 LITERARY ASsOclATloa.

entire satisfaction OF the performance from begin

exercises followed by four splendid pieces excel

Mozart Quartet. Next came an orat on by Mr..
McRae entitled 1.-THE Struggles OF Liberty IN which
all the histories of the ancient word We're reviewed

London PhIIosophizing.


From the proceedings in Paris at the
present time we can form some idea Of
the sacrifices we should be called upon
to make in the event of London being
threatened with siege. 1t seems that
among the other horrors Of war would
be involved the loss of all our bad char
acters. Two thousand bad characters
have, ii is stated, been arrested by the
Paris police and ordered to quit the city.
These unfortunate exiles are probably
now on the way to our hospitable shores,
where they may depend upon meeting
with the ready sympathy Of an inauen-
tial portion Of our population. An "ad-
dress from the back slums of St. Giles
and the freedom Of White chapel is the
least we can present to them should they
honor us with their presence. Here
they may find home where they will
not be disturbed, and nice Thames
Embankment on which they may
keep their Sabbaths. Nor in pity for
our guests must we forget those whom a
a stern necessity has compelled thus to
part for time from her erring children.
We can only realize what Paris must be
with only good characters left in it by
fancying London in similar melan-
choly position. No roughs with their
playful gambols in park or street. No
men chanting blasphemous litanies in
college caps and gowns Respectable
women able to walk through the streets
without being insulted No elderly gen.
tlemen doubled up for the sake of their
purses, or hurried into eternity for the
sake of their time-pieces. No bad Ian
guage, no violence, no tradesmen selling
adulterated articles with short weights
and measures How little can we in this
favored metropolis, who enjoy the bless
ings of peace, imagine it deprived of
roughs and rascality.
