The only colored cadet now at West
Point, johnson c. v niitaker, complains
that the white cadets will have no social
intercourse with him. This is the old, old
story; and it is getting trifle wearisome.

they are no better than their colored fel-
w-citizens before the law, and have no
right to cSsame that they are in any other
respect. Let them prove it first.
