THE ALEPPo AND THE MERRIMAC. -
The cable corrobola ted the supposition
that the Cunard steamer Aleppo was the
vessel that run down the bark Merrimac
portions Of which had been picked up in
Boston Bay. The disaster, it appears,
occurred during dense fog, three miles
from Minot's Light and the bark was
so badly damaged that she was left to
sink all on board succeeded in reaching
the steamer, and were taken on to
Queenstown The neglect of the captain
of the Aleppo in failing to touch at Cape
Ann, and thus relieve the deep anxiety
that would be created concerning the
fate Of the bark's crew, is explained by
the condition of the weather The risk
of making Cape Ann under such circum-
stances is held as justifying him in pro-
ceeding as he did, aud relieves the act
of the apparent want OF feeling that
seemed to characterize it, Captain
Nichols and the crew of the Merrimac
will leave the other side for Boston, in
the steamer Tripoli.

ing race chooses to call vice.
The critics of Cadet Smith should not forget
that the air of West Point has magical
quality about it which instantly transforms a
wcarer OF bell-buttons into an aristocrat. The
most wonderful presto-changes have taken
Mace in that atmosphere Of glamour every
year. The youths that go there are taken from
farms, from workshops, from dairies, and from
behind the bars Of corner groceries; their
heads may be full of hay-seed from the pater-
nal barn; their hands may retain the lacteal
odors of the COW they groomed; and yet, from
the hour they don that graceful garb of gray
and brass, they suffer change into something
rich and strange. If they manage to rnD
through the curriculum at the national ex-
pense, they feel a grievous sense OF wrong at
meeting in the regiment to which they are
assigned some young gentleman from civil lie
who has received better education at school
and university, who has Travelled abroad and
seen something of the world, and finally ex-
posed his life on the battlefield from patriot
ism or q taste for the service. The west
Point man positively thinks he Is more con-
siderable person than such an one. When we
see that a cOncet so stupcndOus Is bred III
Anglo Saxon minds by the charmed air that
blows over the nursery of warriors we cannot
wonder that the more susceptible African
should likewise suffer from it.

TIE TROUBLE AT THE POINT.


Evidently there is no such disturbing ele
mcnt in all our social chemistry as the Amer
lean citizen of African descent. The presence
of one young man at West Point whose skin
is only little whittier than the average Latin
hide. has shlkcn that time-hoaOrcd institution
TO its very foundations 1t rs not so much
the rows and squabbles and courts martial,
the excOriaton OF shins and the banging OF
heads with dippers, that deserve attention as
notable consequences of the introduction of
this new element into our aristOcracy. A far
more important and interesting result has
made its appearance in the Academy, II we
may trust the statements of conservative jour
ras who are in mourning for the glory which
has departed. Not to put too fine point on
it, they say that the intruding African has
exercised so powerful an influence upon the
susceptible CaucasiaDs who are nOurishing a
youth sublime on the banks of the Hudson,
ms to turn them into body of prompt and
incOrrigbc liars. A Democratic paper of this
city yesterday refers to the canker of false
"hood which has eaten its way into the vitals
"of the Military Academy and attributes it to
the baleful presence of this accursed son of
Ham.
We shall have to go hack and reconstruct
all our old d-fashiOned theories of human na-
ture The high-toned chivalry of Sparta could
think Of no better way of disgusting their
children with intemperance than by intro
ducing drunken IIclOt occasionally into the
family circle. We were frequently told in the
good old days of Slavery that the vices of
servitude were the best school of virtue to

able to expect that when Cadet Smith adopted
the shOvel-tailed coat and the bell-buttons of
our sucking thunderbOts of war, the cXhibi-
ton Of his infiImities would paint the lily OF
our West Point pcrfectiOns. If he were liar,
they should have sworn q closer worship to
truth. If he were quarrelsome, they should
have adopted a sweeter dignity and courtesy.
If he were profane and unclean, they should
have robed themselves in more spotlesS purity
of walk and conversation. But If we may
credit the brolien-heartcd report of chivarous
officers and negrOphobic journals, mania of
unwholesomc emulation has burst out in the
Academy, and the proud Caucasians are in-
volvcd in n desperate attempt to out-lie, out
squabblc, and out-Cutlee generally the sable
brother who was to serve as a warning instead
Of an example
There is one singular charge made against
Cadet Smith in the journal we have quoted,
and that il, in substance that he is not Niger

rbyming version Of David's Psalms. Whether
the stanchness of their faith in these
two points Of doctrine entitled them to rob
Mr.. Stuart and his friends Of the church they
had built was the issue brought before civil
court for settlement. Judge Williams's charge,
which was an exceedingly able one, bore heavily
against the want of moral or even legal justice
in the entire action of the Ecclesiastical Court.
The jury, however, were discharged without
agreeing, and the property remains in the
hands of Mr.. Stuart and bis friends.
The common sense of the country, however,
will find no such difficulty in arriving at
verdict on the matter. Whether a man sees
fit to worship his Creator on his knees or
standing, by feasting or fagellation, 10y sing
ing hymns or i'll silence and consrtiOn OF
soul, his mouth in the dust, is at the most
one of the lesser matters Of the law. But
there are requirements in which all mankind
recognize a divine ongin: justice, truth, the
high honor, the infinite love to our brother
man which Christ Taught Whether the Synod
of the Reformed Presbyterians choose to sing
HYMNS or psalms is a question which the world
treats with the Indifference it deserves;
but when they rush before the public to ylo-
lato the plain principles Of justice and every
day honesty for the sake of greedy acquisition
all good men must regret that they have so
far forgotten or failed to comprehend the
teachings of their Master.

CHURCH DOCTRINE And HONESTY

The March term of the Nisi Prius Court in
Philadelphia has been occupied by the case
of George ii. Stuart VS.. the Reformed Presby-
terian Church, a case to which the attention
OF the whole country has been drawn; not SO
much because of the value Of the property in
vOlved as from the desire to see with what
integrity to its high Christian principles a
religious body deports itself when it enters, a
greedy claimant, into civil court The facts
of the case are doubtless familiar to all our
readers.
George II. Stuart largely contributed to
build and sustain the First Reformed Pres
byterian Church in Philadelphia A few
years ago, the General Synod of that
Church excluded him from Office and then
from membership, on account of his having
sung "uninspired hymns" and communed with
other denominations of Christians The cler-
gyInan and a majority OF the congregation
sustained Mr.. Stuart, and consequently were
also excluded, in 1868, from connection with the
general body. In 1869 the Synod began to
cast cOvetous eyes on the church edhce and
valuable property attached thereto, and to re-
grct that they had left il in the hands of the
men who were its original owners. They
therefore entered suit for it in the name of
the small minority who had left the congre-
CATION in consequence OF their faith that the
Supper Of our Lord and the benefits of His
Passion which they enjoyed were designed
exclusively for ReiorIned Prcsbyterians, and
that the God of the Universe could be
acceptably worshipe'i by no language,
or tongue, or people other than those

Mr.. Geo. II. Stuart, Mr.. Nm f. Dodge, ana
the other gentlemen acting as Indian Commis-
sioners on the Board appointed by the PreSi-
dent, are giving their personal attention
to the purchase Of supplies in this
city. They have broken up the
fraudulent habit of allowing aggregate bids to
be reckoned whereby the member of the
Ring bidding below the market rates on
five articles which he knew would hardly be
wanted at all, and above market rates on the
sixth, which he knew would be wanted
in large quantities would make his average
fall below that of the honest bidder, and yet
swindle the Government in the contract. I'm
der the changed condition of affairs our most
merchants are competing freely for
this business, and if the Indians are swindcd

The decentralization of the Police since Tam

has been frequently evinced by the brutal ana
upiustjfable clubbing of citizens by drunken
or inhuman officers. A citizen who was lateiy
maltreated in this way by three police
men has recovered five thousand dollars dam
