The NEGRO CADET. The Negro
cadet Smith, has caused no liulc
trouble at West Point. When his ly
ing letter was published, giving false
account Of his treatment by tho white
youths Of his class, the Radical news
papers advised him TO stand up for BIZ.
tights and fight his way out Of his
troubles, and he received a number OF
letters from prominent white Radi.
Gals urging him TO pursue the same
course. The ebony scamp plucked
up courage and undertook to follow
the advice which had been so freely
given. With bis fists aud an iron la.
die he made vicious assault upon a
white comrade. For this breach OF
the peace, and for lying aud other of.
fences he was tried by court mar.
lial, and sentenced to the very mod.
crate punishment of bcirg compelled
to "walk post under charge Of a cadet
from two o'clock in the afternoon un.
Ill retreat for six consecutive Satur.
days" The case was takon up by
the Secretary Of War aud the sen.
tencc ordered to be rcmillcd, so that
the colored cadet escapes Punishment
altogether. lfa white boy had been
guilty of the offences the chances are
that he would have been summarily
dismissed from the institution, and
the Secretary Of War would not have
interfered to prevent the carrying
out Of the sentence. Lancaster Intel.

FREE RELIGION AMONG THE INDI-
ANs.-A new Indian policy has been
inaugurated. The redskins are being
put into the hands Of the principal ro
ligious denominations and missionary
societies. Soycral OF the scots and as
socialions have already responded "a
the invitation to designate suitable
persons, for whose conduct they will
be responsible, as Indian agents; and
some Of those thus recommended have
been commissioned by the President
Hereafter no Indian agents will be ap
pointed unless they have a proper re.
ligious recommendation. The idea is
to give the religious sentiment of the
country an opportunity for exercising
its influence in the efforts TO civilizo
the sava.cs. Politicians had a chance
as Indian agents, but they generally
robbed the redskins, taught them bad
habits and brough, on expensive wars,
principally for tho benefit of army
contractors. Army officers awaiting
orders have been assigned rs Indian
agents, but it seems that, though
many Of them have done very well,
the precedent is now discouraged
The Friends have tried their system,
and il has been in somo degree sue
cessful, but il would take long time
to Transform savage Indians into
peaceful Quakers. Now all the sccts
are invited to use their influence
among the aboriginies Here is q
fine field for missionary work, and we
hope the labors Of the new agents will
produce desirable results.

New York is not the city in this
country where coats Of arms may be
seen on the carriages Of tho wealthy
Coats Of arms and liyoricd servants
