From that we'll informed pa
per the "American" we learn
that the removal of Gen. Scho-
field from tho command at
West Point has been resolved
on, and that he will probably
be succeeded by Gen. Howard.
This is because Gen. Schofiel,l
gave expression to the feeling
which prevails, not only among
the students of the military
academy, but among the white
people of the North generally,
with reference to any ATTEMPT
to enforce social equality be-
tween tho races. The American
| takes occasion .. cast signiti-
can't slurs upon the spirit OF ar
lstocracy and eXclusiveness
Which it seems to think prevades
army circles. Abiding to Gen.
Schofield's report it says: "Ho
resents the attempt to force
colored cadets into tho sacred
company, out of which our mil
itary aristocracyis is to be devel-
oped by various elimnations.o
If pride opposition and ESPRIT
dat corps will more strongly
apply to the army than to any
other, and the officers of that
adjunct of the government arc
among the last who will be
found making innovations up
OH the established usages of
good society. 1t social eleva-
ton is therefore sought for the
race, it would DO better
for the people from whom the
army officers are drawn to take
the Initiative in changing the
social laws which govern the
relations Of the races in the
country.
If the American should read
wholesome lectures to the lead
ers of what is called good So
;iety in Philadelphia, and sue
'eed in overcoming the repug-
lance of it's members to associ-
ltion with the colored race, it's,
Effects might react upon even
he aristocratic officers OF our
lational army organization.
5ut it is absurd to attempt to
orce upon this proud body OF
nen an intercourse which is not
reputable among the
'cople from whom the tone of
heir social ideas is primarily
lerived.
The true position in regard
0 the colored race is, we think,
D treat it's people just exactly
S white people are treated, and
nat is to give them every legal
ght of a citizen and leave tho
chievement Of social position
} themselves.
For all time probably the
olored people will feel more at
Use in the society of one an
her, and will have little dis
osition to mingle on terms of
'cial equality with the other
co. If they do tho white peo-
Q should have the same right
reject the association if it is
IT agreeable to them. TO at
mpt to force any thing differ
It upon tho white officers of
@ army, in the face of their
cply grounded prejudices,
Duld be, it seems to us re-
in cruelty. Gen.
oward or any one else who
teMpts it will certainly fail :,

THE CAUSE,

iepea1ed failures of our courts to ,netc
OUT justice to offenders. We ut the same
'ilhe propose in q few words to show
where tho blame lies. We hear on every
nand the complaint that none are made

poor and friendless and that tho laws Of
our statute books are so constantly vio.
.aeea with lmpunity that they cease to
INSPIRE even an ordinary respect. These
s'riotures are only too true, and the mel
s'"ch"y TACT will 1emain rs leng as the
cause exists. The blame is usually visit

The weather is still dry and hot but the

US to-day. A flood is reported on its way
out of the Upper Mississippi, but no incon-
venience from high water from that source
is anticipated here.

slow TO create even ripple on the surface
Of trade, but as these are the reports from
all the trade centers around US, we have no
special reason tor complaint.

demand for old stock and only light sup

Who IS Mrs. WINsLow.--A this qucs-
ZION is frequent asked, We will simply say
that she is a lady who for upwards OF thirty
years has untiringly devoted her time and
talents as female physician and nurse,
principally among children. She has es-
pecially studied the cons titution and wants
of this numerous class, and, as result OF
this effort, and practical knowledge, OBJ
tanned in lifetime spent as nurse and
physician, she has compounded Soothing
Syrup, for children teething. 1t operates
like magic--giving rest and health, and IS
Moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In
consequence of this article Mrs. Winslow is
becoming world-renowned as a beneiactor
Of her race; children certainly do rise up
and bless her; especially is this the case in
this city. Vast quantities Of Soothing
Syrup are daily sold and used here. We
think Mrs. Winslow has immortalized her
name by this invaluable article and we
sincerely believe thousands Of children
have been saved from an early grave by its
timely use, and that millions yet unborn
will share its benefits, and unite in calling
her blessed. No mother has discharged
her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given it the benefit Of
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. Try it,
mothers-try it now.-Ladies' Visitor, New

Look Out.

The readers of The Leader will bear us
i'm the assertion that we have studiously
avoided all personalities of an unpleasant
character. Knowing, as we do, that, as
race, we have our foibles and weaknesses,
in common with the men OF other races,
we have preferred to find and hold up for
emulation that which is good, leaving to
unfriendly hands the exposure of our
shortt omings Nevertheless we believe
that in the course of human events it some
times becomes necessary to remove the
lamb like habilaments from the repulsive
carcass of some fiendish wolf that has
crept into the fold; to lift the veil, as it
were and let the public 'see for itself, and
not for another" the life record of the iend +,
who, stepped all over in infamy and crime,
seeks to tarnish the good names of those
who by we'll doing have risen above him
in the scale of morality and worth.
There are few ward politicians of the
smaller and baser sort in the city OF lndj-
annapolis, who would do we'll to go into
their holes and pull the hole in after them.
Some of them are thieves and blacklegs OF
the worst SORT and yet they can be found
on every street corner, retailing tales OF
scandal about men who by industry, hard
work and persistent study are endeavor.
ing to be of some value to themselves and
the community.
We have taken the trouble to look up
the records of few of this class In some
cases we find that they are convicted
ihieves: men who have been expelled
from every church and social organization
to which they ever belonged for downright
robbery. In other cases they have been
guilty of immoral conduct which, if gen.
orally known would make them the veriest
outcasts of the community, if it did not
place them behind prison bars. These
characterless scamps believe or affect to
believe, that there are no upright people
in the world aud if they find in the com
munity person who is above reproach
they immediately set about defaming his
character, To such We say, beware! We
have made up our minds to give the pub.
lie the record of few of these persons
| in order that they may receive the con-
tempt and execration of the community
| We have before us the biographies of two
of these persons, which we withhold fol

we shall be prepared to prove. We wou.o
rather be spared the unpleasant duty, but
we will not shirk it, if it seems necessary
to the common good. Let slanderers lool
