t%rations.

wholly fulfill the reasonable ex'

Exciting Debate.

During the debate on the West Point Ap.
preparation bill, in the United States House Of
Representatives., yesterday, Mr.. Reagan, of
Texas, offered au amendment providing that as
vacancies occur 10 the Academy every alternate
vacancy shall remain vacant for one academic
term, so that there shall be for the future one
half the present number of cadets.
Mr.. Hewitt, OF N. Y, rose to explain re.
mark that had been attributed to blm, and,
which had been misconstrued into an assertion
that he had slandered the South.
MIR. House, of Tenn, replied to MIR. Hewitt.
IF that gentleman intended no reflection on
Southern Representatives, be (hlr. House, was
glad to hear it. lie had understood it. how
ever as a reflection on every Southern mem
ber-as a statement that the remark OF the
gentleman from South Carolina (Aikeu) had
been inspired by Southern hostility to West
Point, because through the skill and proves
of West Point officers South Carolina and 9th
or Southern States had been whipped back To-
to the Uoion. lie thought that Southern
Representatives should be permitted to discuss
questions Of public policy without having the
fact that they had participated ln the war

from the lips of the gentleman from Tennessee

We have persistently urged that the attemp t
Of President Hayes to conciliate the radical
wing Of his party must, from the very nature
of the case, prove unsuccessful, unless he shall
lenounoe and repudiate his Southern policy.
We have done 30 upon the ground that peace
10 the South is incompatible With the supre.
macy of radicalisu. The assertion now made
10 some Of the most ultra radical papers. 10 re-
gard to tue Presidents reported determination
to investigate the case of tho members Of the
Louisiana returning board, that "he will soon be
back:.in bis party" while sustaining our views,
is by no means consolatory. and assuredy is
not propitious to the welfare Of tho South, as
it shows but too plainly how easily he can re-.
corole himself 10 that element of bis party
whose inspiration is derived from the hatred
they bear to Southern men and Southern TO-.
stitutions.
