WEST POINT AS A LAW SCHOOL,
it.

At some early day committee of Congress
ought to be raised to visit the National Mill
tary Academy at West Point, to inquire and
report as to the manner in which the import
ant subjects of American history and Ameri-
| can constitutional law are taught in that
! gloomy venerable, isolated, romantic and ex-
pensive institution. The five years course,
costing about one thousand dollars per head
per annum for each cadet, includes consid-
cradle variety of literary, scientific, philo-
sophie and aesthetic branches The disci-
pine is rigid and exacting, so that the really
Incurable cases of duncehood are pretty we'll
sitted out by the end of the third or fourth
year. The graduating second lieutenants are,
ought to be, or are supposed to be, accom-
phshed young men, qualified for almost any
pursuit, and more especially for their des-
tined profession. Itsometimes happens, how
ever, that the educated and commissioned raw
material for heroes become so spoiled in the
subsequent process Of manufacture as to oblit- |
crate all traces Of their acquired knowledge. |
Whatever they may have learned ..about law"
seems to glide away from their relaxed memo
RES with special rapidity. This ought to be
looked into. Some system of teaching the
principles commended for in the revolution,
set forth IN the immortal Declaration, and
crystalized in the great compact of Union,
ought to be devised that would leave impress
sions capable of lasting through campaign
and Of surviving the transition from the rank
of lieutenant to that of colonel Even though
necessity knows no law" it cannot be accept
ed as military necessity that our educated
American soldiers may be excused for ignor-
ance of the fundamental law of the Union.

BONANzAs.

This is an old Spanish word, meaning orig
nally godsend or free gift, and has latel
come in vogue since the alleged discovery il
Nevada OF veins Of silver ore Of extraordi
nary, we might almost say, Of incredible rich
ness. If only one-half of what is reported O
the "Comstock lode is true, there will soor
be glut Of silver in all the markets Of th,
world, and the votaries of initiation in this
country will have no occasion to call for new
issues of greenbacks.
The excitement created in San Francisco by
these discoveries can only be compared to
that which was produced in France and
England by Laws Mississippi Scheme and
the great South Sea Bubble, with this differ
ence, however, that there is at least some
basis for the speculative fever recently de-
veloped on the Pacific shore
An idea Of the extent to which this has al
ready attained may be found in the fact that
consolidated Virginia stock for instance, which
was worth $50 per share in September last,
is now quoted at $780, California stock. worth
S63 i'll October last, now sells for $3.50; Ophir.
quoted at So in October, now yields 500.
These be it remem bered, are purely specula-
the values, no dividend having yet been made
on any Of the so-called bonanza" mines.
According to the New York Times, the tota
gain or appreciation of selling prices of the
three bonanza mines, since the excitement
began, is SIP, IL, 600, and the total apprecia-
ton Of apparent value of the ten leading mines
IN the last three months is about S173, 900, 600
that is to say, these mines are valued at S173.-
100000 more than they were on the 1st of
October, 1874

time what will be the outcome of these new

value 1t at one hundred and fifty millions and
Upward. The yield of all the Nevada silver
mines last year was thirty-ive million dol |
ars, and 1t IS certain that the production is
increasing. As the journal from
which We have quoted the above figures well

likely to flow from these wonderful mines

MERRILL'S TESTIMONY.

Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Grants man, Merrill, testified of the negro
that "the typical crimes of the race ale a
love for theft, and want of chastity among
the women. In truthfulness, the negroes are
fully up to the standard of people of Their
social grade" Vide MerrilPs testimony be.
fore the Congressional Committee now sitting
at the Custom-House.
In other words, Merrill says the negro is a
born thief, and his truthfulness is up to that
social grade; and, as thief, is necessarily and
always liar. Merrill stamps the race as
thieves and liars.
trust Grant, the negro race, and the Grant
party are pleased with this testimony of their
champion witness, and that the press of the
whole country will publish it.
Merrill further testifes that his assertions,
reports, etc, are based entirely upon infor-
nation received from negroes. II did not
mix among the people; l did not hear the
evidence on both Sides OF course not: he
wouldn't mix worth a cent-wouldn't be
allowed to- And yet, upon Merrill's reports
based on information received only from ne
groes, whom he characteriZes as a race of
liars, or else received from army officers who
retalled 1t secondhand from the same race.
the President of the United States bases his
message, and Sheridan his reports, both alike
denunciatory of whole people, and recon-
mending their extermination-sim simply because
our people protest against continuation of
the lntamy OF being kept by the power of
Federal bayonets, under the rule of a race
which Is characterized by their champion as
thieves and liars, and their women without
virtue.
And yet Grant and his administration wish
to force our children, in their childhood and
youth, to be day after day brought into close
union and contact with race of thieves, liars |
and prostitutes. And Sheridan, Merrill and |
other brutes like them are-oh, so anxious to |
be given the army and navy in their control
to murder any and every white man, woman |
or child who, by any word or act, would make |
any opposition to their hellish purposes.
What tremendous witness against his
own side is Grants man Merrill? How he
be does hit his friends l really would like to
know what Longstreet, Badger and the Metro
ooltan brigade think of Merrill after the left
handed compliment he pays to their man
lood and courage, when he speaks of Gen
)gden's SIX or seven hundred school bows.
That is very hard.
