The investigation into the case of
Whitaker, colored cadet from Charles
ton, at West Point, who short time ago
was found in his room tied to the bed
stead, with both ears mutilated, is still in
progress. The Court thus far has been
unable to elicit any evidence fixing the
outrage upon any one, or to exculpate the
cadet from the suspicion that he inflicted
the injuries upon himself as an excuse
for his probable failure in the approach
ing examination of his class, as we'll as
for political effect in the coming elections.
We gather from correspondents and news
papers that public opinion is very much
divided on the question. If this outrage
was perpetrated by others than himself,
they should be dealt with and receive ex-
emplary punishment, buff by Whitaker,
we of the South are not surprised, as we
have illustrations of riot and bloodshed
produced by Radicals for political capital.
The evidence in the case, however, does
show that Whitaker has no easy times
at West Point. He has been unable to
keep up with his classes, and has been
socially ostracised by the sons of the
leading Stalwarts of the North on &C.
count of race, color and previous condi-
ton. One of the Republican cadets
from Michigan refused to "fall in" by
the side Of Whitaker, and in the 1nsti-
tuition he has no associates. This should
teach the colored people of the South
that those whom they have known all
their lives are their best friends, and that
they have nothing to expect or to hope
for from strangers, who care nothing tor
them except to use them as party ma
chimes. The sooner the colored people
learn this truth the better it will be tor
them.

place to spend few hours. The ride up
the river gives a very good view of the
western portion of the city, but is other
wise monotonous. The most important
phosphate works are located on this
stream, but as the boat made no landing,
we did not have the pleasure of visiting
them. The boats are supplied with eve-
rything good to eat and drink, (the An
derson delegation confined themselves
strictly to lemonade, unreasonable prices.
After spending the forenoon on the
water, and eating hearty dinner, one is
prepared to visit the places of interest in
the city. The Custom House, Charles
ton Museum, Magnolia Cemetery, and
other places are visited in succession'
each with its peculiar interest. We ad'
wise all our friends visiting the city by
all means to visit the Museum, as it con-
tains more curiosities than any one place
in the city. Birds, snakes, girafes, bugs,
turtle shells, alligators, sharks, fish, tigers,
leopards, wolves, minerals of all kinds,
and thousands of other things, can be
seen.
Business in Charleston seemed to be
rather dull. East Bay, where the prin-
