"PIensaptrIeso Among the Pup.Is-AIobSing
Refractory iebs-DisgracetnI Doinas-An
Investigation Needed.
PoUeHKEEPsIE, Jan. THE opinion is fast
gaining ground in the river counties that affairs
OF all kinds at West Point should have an im-
mediate and strict overhauling. From reports
of all kinds the discipline needs attention. The
latest disgraceful occurrence was the "mob-
bing" of three ''plebs." The act can be called
by no other name after having listened to the
reports of the tame indirectly from one of the
mobbed victims. 1t appears that short time
since three plebs, through some means or other,
Of course unknown to the authorities, got
ON SPREE,
and towards the close of their revelry, and after
dark repaired to their quarters. The sentinel
on post inquired at their window if all was right,
and was answered in the affirmative. Soon after
the inquiry was repeated, and similar answer
given, though at the time one of the three was
absent He returned soon after, just in time to
answer to the third challenge and for those
false responses all were reported. Then,
according TO the statement of one of them,
named Barnes, the first class, almost en- naGsse,
dragged them from their quarters aud uncere
monioUsly conveyed them TO Fort Put in the
dead of night, while

that If they did they would receive q coat of tar
and feathers. President Grants son supplied
one of the victims with coat and some spend
ing money, and then the ''mobbed" plebs struck
into the woods and disappeared into the dark
ness. Their absence the next morning was a
mystery, and so secret was the whole affair
kept that over twenty hours elapsed before
the first nkling was had, and even then no one
could tell what had become of the poor plebs

when they were given shelter at the house of an
old schoOlmate, to- whom thev related the above
story. They expressed themselves extremely
sorry for the intoxication, which occasioned the
trouble, and then sat down and wrote q clear
statement of the whole transaction to the com
mandant at West Point, asking to be allowed to
return to the post, not as deserters, bat to re-
sign or be dismissed. Soon after an officer ar
rived from the Point, and last night he con-
yeyed the absent ones back to the stronghold,
there to be dealt with according to the law
made and provided TOR such cases. 1t would
seem from all of the above that the summary
action of the first class needs at least inyesti-
cation.

A Scene in North CarsIIna Negroes In the

A Scene in North observation-disclosures In the
Jury Box.
A correspondent writes from North Carolina:
in Fay etteYille saw an evidence of the new
condition of affairs in the jury box of the court
house. Six white men and six black men sat
apart to hear and give the judgment of righ-
teous impaTtiality In cases of contention. The
foreman of the jury told me how the thing was
managed. He said these men were, every one,
of the very common sort of darkeys.
TIE proceedings of the court were an inexpli-
cable nuddle to them, and by the time trial
was over they had no opinion whatever on any
case, save as the echoes of the last speech of the
last laWy er might linger in their minds. When
retired in deliberation, the white men, COM
pairing notes, would agree upon a verdict. Then,
turning to the eolored jurymen, they would say:
"Well, boys, what do you think of this z"
stating the conclusion. Invariably the answer
would be:-"Dats all right. We thinks jes so.
Jes as you say"
There is too much to burlesque the idea of
citizenship in the present position of the negro
to allow one to see him, in his new relations,
with unmixed pleasure. Something better
could have been devised for him. and certainly
for the country, than the immediate elevation
OF all this colored mass TO the station of full
hedged citizens. Kindness to the negro would
have kept him out of the jury-box-would, for
the present at least, have kept him back from
offices which he has had no training and has nc
fitness for. This is politics. heresy, of course,
but the facts are in support Of the heresy.
