into the path and follows him. It is too
light at present for his deed OF darkness,
and too near the entrance Of the wood,
but he knows that shortly the path will
branch off into two, and the right one for
the boy to take will be dark and lonely.
But what prompts the little midshipman,
when not fifty rods from the branching of
the path, to break into sudden runp 1t
is not fear-he never dreams of danger.
Some sudden impulse or some wild wish
for home makes him dash off suddenly
after his saunter, with q whoop and
bound. On he goes. as if running race;
the path bends, and the man loses sight of
him-'But l shall have him yet,' he thinks,
'he cannot otkeep upthe pace long, The boy
has nearly reached the place where the
path divides; he puts up white owl, that
can scarcely fly as it goes whirring along
close to the ground before him. He gains
upon it; another moment and it will be
his. Now he gets the start again; they
come to the branching of the path, and
the bird goes down the wrong one. The
temptation to follow it is too Strong to be
resisted; he known that somewhere, deep
i'll the wood, there is cross track by
which he can get into the track which he
has left; it is only to run little faster,
and he shall be home nearly as soon.
On he rushes; the path takes bend,
and he is just out of sight when his pur-
suer comes where the paths divide. The
boy has turned to the right. and he makes
the left, and the faster they both run the
further they are asunder.
The white owl still leads him on, the
path gets darker and narrower; at last
he finds that he has missed it altogether,
and his feet are on the safe ground. He
founders about among the trees and
stumps, vexed with himself and painting
after his race. At last he hits upon anoth-
er track and pushes on as fast as he can
The ground begins sensibly to descend;
he has lost his way-but he keeps bearing
to the left; and though it is now dark he
thinks he must reach the main point SOON
er or later.
He does not know this part of the wood,
but he runs on. Oh, little midshipman
why did you chase that owlP If you had
kept the path with that dark man behind
you, there was chance that you might
outrun him; or if he had overtaken you,
some passing wayfarer might have heard
your cries and come to save you. Now
you are running straight on to your death,
for the forest water is deep and black at
the bottom of this hill Oh, that the moon
might come out and show it to you.
The moon is under thick canopy OF
heavy black clouds, and there is not star
to glitter on the water and make it visible.
The fern is soft under his feet as he runs
and slips down the hill. At last he strikes
against stone, stumbles and falls. Two
minutes more and he will fall into the
black water.

T1MMANY AIARAfED

We give elsewhere an account of the expe-
dients by which the incriminated authorities
are endcavoring to gain time for further
schemes and combinations to defeat the ends
of justice. In spite of the swaggcring air they
have attempted to assume since the beginning
of the storm which is now at its hight, in spite
of the feeble jests of their literary apologist
and accomplice, and the sneering pretense
of indifference which comes every morning
from their sole defender in the Press there is
no doubt but that the corrupt oligarchy which
has ruled us so long is beginning to be seri-
ously alarmed. The absolute refusal of the
affair to blow over; the evident interest of the
people at large in the fight which was begun
by the Press; the failure of the
efforts made by emissaries of the Ring
to obtain control of the meeting of citizens
held to denounce them the great and impos-
ing success Of that meeting when it took
place-all these successive incidents have at last
made most disagreeable impression even upon
these hardened hearts and cOnsciences. They
had hoped the popular indignation would evap-
crate at the meeting In mere talk and music,
but they have been startled at the prompt and
practical manner in which the Committees Of
Citizens and Taxpayers have gone about the
work of fulfilling the duties devolved upon
them by their fellow.citizens. 1t was with q
feeling little short Of CONSERVATION that they
learned yesterday morning that legal measures
were to be instantly taken against them in the
regular courts Of the State. By the use of
the resources which they have always at their
disposition, they have gained days delay in
the proceedings. This morning the effort will
again be made to ascertain whether there is
any law in the State of New-YOrk against THO

The report of the Board of Visitors to the
Military Academy at West Point does not
seem to receive the approval of all of the
Visitors But the most remarkable point Of
difference among those gentlemen is upon an
article which certainly ought to command the
instant and hearty approval of every man who
knows anything of the irregularities which a
lack of discipline has brought into the Academy.
And yet three of the Board of Visitors took
exception to an article which recommends
severer discipline, and especially cessation of
that familiarity between cadets and officers
which has been so fruitful heretofore of abuses
and disorder. West Point is not creditable
institution in many respects, and, Judging from
our abstract of the usual annual report of its
lvuI.,ion. lv;uI3.;,.ion. it is not in fair way to command
the confidence and esteem of the country.

men who boass,ot their ability ID, use the ia.
diciaty to screen their crimes.
However this especial effort may result, the
case grows every day more hopeful for the
side of honesty and reform Every denial OF
justice in the interest of the rogues will assist
in strengthening and confirming the aroused
public feeling against them The case OF the
Ring has now become 90 bad that corruption
itself will be damaged If arrayed in their IA
vor. A suspected Judiciary might do itself In
finite service in furthering the purposes OF
justice now; while, If it espouses the falling
cause, we may find that in the fall OF Tam
many it has carried its judges down with IT,
There are no good grounds for fearing that
a temporary delay will defeat the suit to re-
strain the Ring leaders from plunging the city
still further into debt. II was not to be expected
that the party of reform woGld succeed all at
once. It is most natural that the litigation
should be long and tedious. Every trick and
quibble which the ingenuity OF Ring lawyers
and Ring politicians can devise to defer and
defeat the final judgment against them Will
certainly be called into reputation. But they
cannot disregard or override this legal pro-
ceeding. The application Of Mr.. Foley is
regular and lawful one, and 1t is supported by
influences too powerful to be met with inso'
lence or outrage. The Committees Of citizens
who have the honor and the interests OF the
city now In charge are too strong and too
respectable to be treated like former Commit
tees which have begun in hopeless feebleness
and ended in treachery.
public opinion 80 strong and compact has
been gradually built up in this city during the
past year, that It will enforce respect even from
the cynical band of plunderers encamped In the
City Hall. There Is q far brighter prospect
now than there has ever been for some def
mite and practical result. Mr.. Foley, as the
representative of the Citizens and Taxpayers
Association, can go into court to-day with
security of person which was denied to John
Hecker as the representative of the Citizens
Association of 1894. If Judge Barnard has any
of the worldly wisdom his friends claim for
him, he will not refuse to entertain the appli-
cation which is to be made to him; and the
Tammany officials will do well in their own
interest not TO aggravate their present condem-
nation by an attempt to prevent by chicahe or
violence a legal inquisition into their recent
wasteful and corrupt administration.
New-York tribune., 1871-09-07

1t is not pleasant to be continually quarreilng
with ones neighbors; but it must be admitted
that the United States Government has put up
with more impertinence from our neighbors on
the Rio Grande than would have been borne 80
silently from stronger power. The shameless
and annoying practices in the Zona Libre and the
repeated raids across the Rio Grande are cases
in point; and just now we have new cause of
grievance in reported outrages upon American
vessels loading at Mexican ports. We cannot
tell just how much dependence is to be placed
upon these statements, which are one-sided, of
course, but they are so characteristic of the
quarrelsome and lawless Mexicans that we are
forced to believe them mainly correct. We
have been magnanimous to Mexico, because
she is feeble Republic; but it is little ex-
asperating that our magnanimity should be 80
abused.
