WASHINGTON.
The West Point Affair.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The inves-
tigation made last session into the riot
at West Point Military Academy, which
resulted in the adoption by the House
Of a resolution declaring the opinion OF
that body as to the course the Secretary
OF War should pursue in the premises
has proved entirely fruitless. No atten-
ton has been paid to the action Of the
House and it ls not expected that any
will be. Fleckenger, one OF the three
cadets who were driven away by the mob
of the first class, has been reappointed
by his member of Congress and will
re-enter the academy in June. The
other two, Baird and Barnes, have not
been reinstated, nor can it be learned
that any measures have been taken to
punish the persons engaged in the
lynching affair. The Secretary Of War
felt under no obligation to regard the
House resolution, because they recon-
mended him to do what the law would
not permit, namely: to convene a court
OF inquiry, which can only be done by
the President, and the President is un-
derstood to have said that the resolutions
OF the House were of no more conse-
quence than the doings Of town
meeting.
Morton 70 Succeed BoutweIl-The
President Will Not Press the san

New YORK, March 22.-Washington
correspondents again give currency to
the runor that Secretary Boutwell, will
shortly retire from the Treasury Depart
ment, and that he will be succeeded by
Senator Morton, of Indiana. The story,
as told by those who circulate it, is that
the President has become satisfied that
Boutwell's financial policy Is unpopular,
and that if continued it will get the
administration into inextricable trouble.
The President stated to several Sena-
tors yesterday that he had no intention
of pressing the San Domingo business
at this session, Should the Commits
sioners arrive before Congress adjourns
their report will probably be sent in,
but it is stated that no treaty OF annex
alton will be submitted. 1t is consid-
cred by the warmest friends Of the meas
ure that to press annexation now would
simply insure its defeat.

KINGSTON, JAMAICA.
Indirnation at the American Con
suI-Fears I'm Regard TO the Visit
Dof Nantasket to Port-au.Prince.


KNGsroN, March 2l.-Popular in
dignation is high to-day, in consequence
of the discovery that the American
Consul is paying the negro police Ej2
for the capture Of twentyseven sailors
belonging to the Tennessee and who got
on shore here. The effect is regarded
as mischievous in the extreme, because
it offers an inducement for prostitutes
to act in concert with the police, and
drug white sailors, with the prospect Of
an offer Of reward, when the police will
know where to find them. The de-
fense of the police is that the Tennessee
offered reward Of $40 per head for the
arrest Of the seamen.
Fears are expressed by the Haytien
refugees that If Nantasket visits Port
au-P Prince the enemies TO the annexa-
ton OF San Domingo may make a de-
monstration offensive to America, and
that retaliation By America would then
follow.

Smith, Jr.
"My dear sir delighted to SEQ you r. had
been his greeting. "Been expecting you
all the afternoon, and feared some accident
might have happened. Explanation and
apologies? oh, never mind explanations
and apologies just now. Your room is all
ready, and I shall be delighted to introduce
you to my daughter and a few friends
whom we are expecting this evening"
And so, without moment allowed him
for explaining his identity and his errand,
Mr.. John Smith had been hurried off TO
his room-to my room, and there left to
muse upon the "situation." He made the
best Of it, and strong in the confidence of
social position and unblemished name and
reputation, duly presented himself in the
parlors at the proper hour, and was intro
ducod TO Miss Brownson, who, under the
impression that this was her destined hus-
band, accorded him n m ost gracious and
winning reception. The result may be ca
silly surmised. Mr.. John Smith and Miss
Clemendna Brownson fell irrevocably in
love with each other to the extent that,
whop-the explanation of his mistaken
identity was made on the following morn
ing, the case was for me altogether hope
less. Moreover, it turned out that Mr.
Brownson knew something of that family
of Smiths also, and the gentleman him
self found some acquaintance among his
hosts guests, there could be no reasonable
excuse for turning him out doors, and so
he was requ ested to remain, which invita-
tion he accepted. And for the two or three
DAYS in which | remained an invalid, he
would come to my room, and sit talking in
his frank, cordial, free and easy manner,
until despite myself came actually to
like the fellow.

drcading Il Little the meeting with Miss
Brownson, and resolved to take my depart
urc on the day following. And the very
first person my eyes rested upon as | en-
tered the drawing room, was the slight,
graceful form of Alice Boyne-an old
school mate, by-the-by, of Miss Brown
son, as that young lady explained to me.
I didn't 60 next day. And when, at the
end Of week, we finally took our depart

Important telegpphic enterprises are
now on foot in South America. A line is
being completed which will bring Buenos
Ayres and Montevideo in communication
with Rio Janero. Another wire il being
extended northward from the Brazilian
capital to the delta of the Amazon. a
"transandine' telegraph has been complet-
ed from Buenos Ayres to point in the in
terror Of the Argentine Republic. Thence
it will be pushed TO the Andes, where a
"snow cable" will be laid over the highest
mountain of the COrdilleras, thus bringing
Santiago, the capital of Chilli, in the connec-
tion. From this city lines are projected
which will reach Lima and Callao, thus
nearly encircling South America with wire.
If a line then be constructed from Para TO
Panama, a distance of less than 2O00 miles,
the principal cities of the southern part Of
the New World will be brought in momen-
tary communications with the United
States, Europe, and Asia,
The fastest railroad train in the world
is probably the new express on the Exeter
and Great Western railway, England,
which runs from Plymouth to London,
one hundred and ninety-lour miles, in four
hours and a quarter.
