THE CoLoRKD CADET INvKsTIeATIoN.-The
report Of the court Of inquiry which was sppoin-
ted to investigate the complaints Of the colored
cadet at West Point has been received at the
War Department. The court finds that the state
ments Of the colored cadet, - contained in his
letter which was recently Published, are not in
the main correct. That he had been subject to
some ill-treatment has been proved BY the
evidence, and the court recommends that both
the colored cadet and the white cadet in fault
be tried by courtmartial. They also find that
all the officers and academical authorities
treated the cadet who makes the complaints
which led to the inquiry with the same con-
aderation that the others are treated, and that
they did everything In their power to prevent .
misdemeanor. Secretary Beiknap disposed Of
the case by causing cadets Gilmore and Smith,
who were recommended to be tried by court
martial to be reprimanded by the superinten-
dant, taking this course With the belief, based
npon the opinion Of the court Of inquiry, that no
further Irregularities Of the kind win occur, at
the same time assuring the cadets that IL this
reasonable expectation OF the department is net
responded to, offenders in the future will be
dealt with in very summary manner.

A Pen Picture Of BrownIoyy.

OF the writings and venomous
clutchings of the palsied Parson, u
correspondent of the New York
World writes thus:
There is spectacle in the Senate
which ought, perhaps, to receive,
but which oftcner repols the com.
misscralion of those who look upon
it. This is the palsied, perishing
igure of Parson Brownlow.
AS regularly as the noon the al
most completely helpless old man
is assisted to his scat-a hair.cloth
easy chair on tho left Of the Speaker
in which he rcclincs, trembling
all over, and constantly, like a
shaken jelly. Seen from the gal
lery, his swarthy face looks like that
OF a malignant Indian. His lips
comfort themselves unpleasantly,
and his hands, twitching in every
finger, remind one of a couple Of
spiders crawling over his legs and
along the arms of his chair.
Onco in a while the right hand
makes a tremulous expedition to
the desk in front and returns with
handkerchief dangling between
fingers and thumb. Sometimes,
with great effort, it carries glass
of water from the ridge of the desk
to the old mans mouth. Part of.
tho time hc sits with q leg hoisted
on corner Of the desk, or crossed
over the opposite knee. Heis never
motionless. His eyes see and his
cars attend to all that transpircs.-
Whenever the debate is earnest, or
an interesting question is upper
most--particularly if it concerns
ting South, or his own State of Ten
sessee-hhe !;s.cas i. .c.s &c !. % i were
through every pore; the big dark
veins on his temples grow bigger
and darker; the desk shakes with
the shaking of his legs; his hands
clutch venomously at his trowsers,
and the peculiar writhing of bis lips
makes it appear as if he would give
up all his life after that one moment,
if for the moment he had strength
to get on his feet, and pour forth as
ofold food of vituperation upon bis
enemies. But he has no strength
left to speak, and was compelled
the other day to have the personal
explanation of his course in regard
to recent political events in Tennvs-
see, which he had prepared in man
uscript, read by the clerk. Some
expressions in it were abusive of
Butler and other members of the
House, and the Vice President stop
ped the reading. The emotion Of
the dying man in the easy chair so
racked him al this juncture that an
other Senator, plying him, request
ed that solely on account Of bis fee
bic condition the reading might be
suffered to proceed. This was as
scented to. Had il been otherwise,
perhaps the anger of the Parson
would have consumed him where
be sat.

ANOTHER MINING HoRRoR.-On
the morning of the 18th of Decem-
ber another terrible accident occur
red in Pennsylvania. A coal mino
caved in, filling the shaft and tun.
mel with enormous masses of earth,
carrying two large houses down
with it, and choking the entrance
to the mine. There were several
persons in tho dwelling houses at
The time of the accident, and these
wore carried down in the falling
lnass, burned in the ruins and doubt
less instantly killed; at last accounts
it was impossible to roach their bod
les. Some men were in tho mine,
it is reported, and they are suppos-
cd TO have been killed. Ten per-
sons in all lost their lives. Tho
houses fell distance of forty feet,
and were broken to fragments. One
block of houses was swallowed up
in the cavity so quickly that two
families living in them had not
time to escape. A girl who. had fled
from one of the houses as it went
down, but not fast enough to escape,
fell on the top ofthe houses and was
rescued.
The accident is said to have been
caused by working the breast in the
colliery too near the surface under
the houses, there being only about
twenty feet space left where they
cavcd in.

The DEMOCRATIC LEADER IN THE

The DEMOCRATIC LEADER IN THE
UNITED STATES SENATE.-The Dem
ocracy, it seems, have at last got
leader in the United States Senate,
which they feel proud in following.
We have reference to Senator Thur
man, of Ohio. The Washington
correspondent of tho New York
World, in speaking of him. says
that his mere physical appearance
is imposing, and his bearing the
manifest that can be supposed. His
intellect is q lantern which, when
ever he speaks, fairly irradiates the
chamber. AS debater he is now
confessed to stand in the foremost
rank. He never speaks without
having something, nay much, to
say, and that something is always
driven straight to the point at issue
He invariably commands the atten-
ton Of the Senate. Few have yet
been bold enough to enter into bat
Ito with him, and such rs have ven
turcd a skirmish with him havo re-
tired wdrsted. His logic, sarcasm,
and bitter or playful irony are alike
the best weapons of their kind.
Fearless, resolute and scornful, yet
often gentle, mover discourteous, and
very rarely unjust, this Senator has
already made himself feared and
respected as an opponent, and is
spoken Of with great cordiality by
those who have had the pleasure Of
meeting him in private life.
