sists ofDr. Howe, Elk Senasor Ben Wade,

Cadet Smith, the colored boy at West
Point about whom so much has been
said, Of late, and who has been before
two Court Martials, has come out first
best again. 1t was shown that the white
ninnies at West Point were inclined to

Captain Eyre, of the steamer Bombay,
whose conduct at the time he ran into
and sank the United States steamer
Oneida. caused his suspension for the
term of six months, has, at the expira-
ton of the time been notified by. the
Peninsular and Oriental Steamship Com
pany, his employers, that his services are
no longer required. This, to Capt. Eyre,
has probably proved more severe pun
ishment than the mere suspension.
His thousands of friends throughout
the country will rejoice to learn that gen.
eral John A. Logan has been nominated
for Senator from Illinois. He was op-
posed in tho most bitter and contempti-
Bile manner by the Democracy and few
pretended Republicans, yet he was nom
mated two to one. The victory is a
grand one-both for the gallant general
and for the Nation. The West may we'll
feel proud of its Senators. It is seldom
we find ADLER men than Howe, Carpenter
and Logan.
