WEST POINT MILITARY AcApEMY.-
Tho board Of visitors to the Military
Academy at West Point have rendered
their report, from one portion of which
three of the members dissent. The New
York Tribune thinks it remarkable"
that they dissent upon an article (which
certainly ought to command the instant
and hearty approval Of every man who
knows anything of the Irregularities
which lack OF discipline has brought
into the academy" This article recon-
mends severer discipline. and especially
o cessation of that familiarity between
cadets and officers which has been so
fruitful heretofore Of abuses and diaor-
der. "Wost Point" says tho Tribune,
''is not creditable institution in many
respects, and Judging from cur abstract
Of the usual annual report Of it's condi.
ton, it is not in fair way 10 command
the confidence and estoen Of the coun-
try" And yet, the contrary nsed to be
the case.

The SPIRIT OF COMPROMISE. This is
the age of compromises. The war spirit
and Its attendant bitterness has, in great
measure. passed away. Men of all poll
ticnl creeds see the folly of pursuing mn
extreme course Of action; the many
grave and serious changes and counter
changes made by and against each other
are found to be of no advantage to
either, and hence there is IN evident dis.
position to leave these old grounds OF
combat and fight the next battle upon
new and living issues. The question now
has resolved itself into one of self-pre.
servatioD, and all men feel the absolute
necessity of combining to overthrow the
corruption which everywhere prevails.
Upon this point all are agreed that q lie.
cessity exists to end, if possible, the
widespread system of plunder going on
at every hand How shall this be done?
Will it be done by suffering Tho Repub.
licnn party to put in Office men of their
own selection? Unqueationably not.
Experience of their officials forbid the
assumption. On the other hand, it is
useless to suppose that the Democratic
party can elect their men, because the
majority against us is too large to be
overcome. Shall We, then, accept any
honorable basis OF compromise which
the Republicans offer us? Or shall we,
losing sight Of our own State, and the
benefits to be derived from such compro-
mise as is above suggested, adopt the
national Democratic platform when il
shall be declared, and fight it ont, rely
ing upon the overwhelming evidence
against Grant rs an incompetent and
corrupt President, for O national victory
1t is absurd to think TINT we can again
60 before the colored people and offer
them such terms as we did in the last
campaign, for our overtures being then
ignominiously rejected, we would saori
tice every principle of honor to repeat
the offer. All propositions looking to
onr cooperation must como from them.
The complete binding of the great mass
OF them by their lenders is not Mt NIL sur
pfisng, rs we have before shown; but.
Of late, some hopes have been enter
tanned by us that light was breaking in
upon their hitherto darkened minds.
They have it in their power to do them
selves and na lnsting good. They hive
practical evidence OF how they are treat.
ed and their rights respected by Demo.
cratic officials in this and other towns
and cities in this State, and they will
find that the same will bo the case if De.
mooratic rulers arc elected to fill the
State offices. It is left to them to make
the overtnres, to seek our aid, and we
look to the more intelligent among them
to take the steps we have pointed out in
this and former editorials.

SUSPENSION OF THE REpUB1IoAN.-The
publication of the Charleston Republican

publication Of the Charleston Republican
was suspended on Friday. We extract
the following from its last issue:
"We are obliged to inform our readers
that with to.day's issue We suspend the
publication of the Daily Republican.
It is unnecessary for us to say with what
regret we make this announcement. The
regret is no less because for some time
we have anticipated the coming OF the
period when we would have to sny these
words to the public. We would gladly
also avoid saying anything OF the causes
which make this suspension necessary,
if we could do SO consistently with our
duty to ourselves, and to the Republican
party. In brief, then, this paper dies
because the Republican administration
at Columbia Wills it's denth.
cit is no secret to any one who has
been inside Republican politics TINT this
paper has not been n fnvorite with our
administration during the past yenr or
more. One mau says it is because we
are too decent, another that we are not
Radical enough, &C., &C., but the real
secret of the dislike is that We have re-
fused to be tho medium for gratifying
the petty spite and personal hatred OF
Individuals, or the ready tool of those
who would use the State Government
for tho purpose solely Of advancing their
own pecuniary aud political interests.
We now tell our friends, both in the
State and outside of it, who, from time
to time, have spoken good words Of us,
and wished us long life, that for our
death Governor Scott and those who,
along with him, control the patronage oil
the government, nro solely responsible.
We have never asked favor which We
had not right to usl1; indeed, we have
not asked favors at all, but have simply
insisted that the government in the dis
tribution of its patronage should not for
get that we who had borne the heat and
burden Of tho day. aud who had never
failed in support Of purely governmental
measures, however much we mny have
shrunk from supporting schemes con-
cocted for the aggrandizement of indi-
viduals, were entitled to full share Of
that patronage in virtue Of ouf position
as journal representing and advocating
Republican principles and measures.
I'VE do not speak to serve any per-
sonal ends to-day. To our personal in
terests. it can make but very little differ
ence whether the paper lives or dies, but
Republicans throughout tho State, to
whom this paper has come to be q neces-
sity, have right to know whether any
injustice has been done it by those who
occupy places of power and trust"

An alligator's mouth isn't the pleasant
est place in the world for one's head, yet
Louisiana woman tells of her expe-
rience in that frightfnl position. Pass
ing through the bushes near her home
the terrified woman was seized by a
monster concealed in the bushes, and
after vigorous struggle was drawn into
the water by her powerful enemy. Here
the alligator relinquished her Iacernted
arm, and caught her head between his
massive jaws. This might be considered
the end of the struggle when the strength
OF the beasts jaws is remembered. But
the woman still resolutely fought her
amphibious foe, and, Incredible to say
reached tho bank, and with tho MD of
neighbors escaped the monster. Her
wounds were frightful, the marks made
by the teeth of the alligator presenting
the appearance Of incisions with steel
instrument.

John Bull will now enjoy little peace
OF mind, his nerves being soothed by the
belief that the battle Of Dorking will
never be fought. The reliance of the
nation upon its troops is proved to be
well founded by the great mannuvre of
Monday last. When the Kingof France.
with 10000 men, marched up the hill
and down again, he performed piece of
strategy which has become famous in his
tory. But hereafter that memorable
man@uvre will pale its Intellectual fires
before tho record of the great movement
of 1871, when $4,000 gallant fellows
resolutely marched from Aldershot to
Sandhurst, and, after enduring the fn-
tigue of that nine miles march, they
resolutely pitched their tents, and. ut
numerous camp fires, cooked their din
ncrs, which they ate with great relish /;
and. after having smoked their pipes,
folded their tents. like the Arabs, and
stole silently away to Aldershot. where
they arrived in good order aud but little
blown from the severity of the return
march. When Won Moltko hears this
he will at once advise Kaiser Wilhelm,
Our Fritz aud Frederick Charles to give
over the idea Of invading England, since
it must be apparent that soldiers who
can march eighteen miles day, and can
eat their dinners also, are entirely too
valiant to be met on the bloody field,
unless the force to be brought against
them is overwhelming, or by some deep
strategy might be possible to capture the
commissariat and deprive them Of their
dinners.

The betrayal of General John Morgan,
the Confederate cavalry officer of Ken
tncky, which resulted in his death at
Greenville, Tenn, on the night of Sep
tember 3, 1864, has been generally as
oribed to Mrs. Williams, daughter
in-lnw of the lady at whose house, in
Greonville, Morgan and some members
Of his staff were stopping at the time.
A letter has recently been published,
however. written by Gen. Gillem, whose
command surprised Morgan, ton gentle
man of Vicksbufg, in which Gillem
gives the true version of the events con
nected with the information upon Which
he acted when he sent his brigade to
surprise Morgan and his staff. Tho in
formation, Glllem says, was given by n
boy, who had been captured by the Cu0-
federates, and who subsequently cs-
capped, and conveyed the news of Nor
gan's presence at Greenville to the Fede-
ral commander. This letter relieves the
Indy in question of tho odium that ne
cessarily would attach to 30 unwomanly
proceeding, besides vindicating the
truth of history, which is 30 frequently
debauched by unscrupulous partisans.

THE GRAND VIzIER.-The Grand vi
zier is dead |! Sandjacks. Silihides, two
tailed Bashaws, Moslems, Ghebers and

tians are expected to mourn yohemently,
but tho little children and the big boys
and girls Of the period will be panied
immoderately. 1t is impossible to toll
exactly when the Grand Vizier was born.
1t was he who used to tell those soldiers
in big breeches with the ourvilinear
swords to out off the other fellows heads,
which he always did. It was he who
used to carry that great bag of money
behind the GRIND Caliph Haroun al
Raschid, and when the Caliph told him
to give the poor knifo-grindor thousand
dollars lie always did it. It was he who.
when Sinbad the Sailor was wrecked
upon foreign shore. with nobody
around, but the ghouls of Baccaocio and
the Old Man of the Mountain, entered
proyidentially by sideways course and
saved the noble sailor from un ignoble
death. Many other incidents might be
mentioned in connection with the life of
this great man, but these being the lead
ing points Of interest in his long and ad-
turous career, catalogue of his virtues
and achievements is at present unneoes-
