During the past few days the L. s.
Senate has devoted a portion of each
morning hour to the consideration of af-
fairs at West Point. The opiaiOns ex-
pressed have been, without exception,
strongly condemnatory of the treatment
melted out 10 colored cadets by their
fellow white cadets, and, in not few in
stances, the officers of the institution
have come in for a liberal share Of the
censure. General Burnside, himself a
graduate of West Point, and at all times
one of the staunchest friends of the in
stitution, recently delivered a carefully
prepared speech, declaring that in his
opinion 1t is the duty of Congress to see
that no one class OF the beneflciaries OF
the Government are allowed to abuse an
other class of beneficiaries; and that if il
is found impossible TO make West Point
national institution, in which all classes
of American citizens shall receive equa
treatment, then it is the duty of Congress
To strike it out of existence. This is thu
sentiment of the press and the genera
public, and indicates that the American
people will tolerate no distinctions o
caste in an institution supported by tn,
generosity of the government.

REDUCING THE AYERAGE.

There is quite as much truth as either
poetry or fun in the following from the
Virginia City Enterprise, as many who
have tried it can, unfortunately, testify.
Out there they know more of these min
ing shares than We; but it may not be a
bad time for people this way to take q

Since the inception of the negro exc

racks which serve as headquarters for
the refugees at Topeka about nine thou
sand people, all save a hundred and fifty
of whom have found homes and settled

association which has ministered to the
necessities of these people has been

Mrs. Comstock, an aged Quaker lady
who has travelled all over Europe and

We think well of Governor st. John

faithful executive. We admire him he
cause of his fearless devotion 20 a great
principle in the midst of crooked and
perverse generation. We regard as a
favorable commentary upon his official
record the fact that the only campaign
documents circulated to his prejudice
are the satirical illusions made by the
Democratic press TO his mustache and
his alleged penchant for hair dye; and
we regard him as safe candidate for re
election because his defamers are largely
