Argument for his Reiusfatement.

His Case Considered In Cabinet Session
Argument for his Reinstatement.
WASHINGTON, December 2S.-With the
exception OF Attorney General Dsvens, al
the members OF the Cabinet were present
at to.day's session.
The Whitaker case was the principal
topic under consideration. No definite
conclusion was reached, however, and the
matter was not disposed OF. The impress.
sion OF the Cabinet officers on this sub
iect is that all intimation to the effect tina,
Whitaker will be given another chance
at West Point will prove erroneous. Itis
thought the case will be finally disposed
OF in the course OF few days.
The argument in writing, recently sub
mitted to the President and Secretary oil
War, by Prof Greener, contains two alter
natives. viz: First. That he be granted a
trial by Court Martial. Second, That be
be reinstated at the Academy. The argu'
ment, in support OF the first proposition,
maintains that the finding by the Court oil
Inquiry we're but partial, and that the
cadet was placed at a great disadvantage
by that trial by being compell. d to prove
imselfinnocent. Regarding his reinstall.
ment, the Professor argues that during his
absence from his classes while attending
the Court OF Inquiry, he necessarily fell
behind in his studies, and further that biz
marks in discipline and military tactics, as
shown by the Academy records are not so
low as to justify his expulsion.

An Old Ncternn Gene.

We record the death this morning Of
one Of our notable local characters, Mr..
Anthony Deiters, soldier OF the Napo-
leon wars and citizen OF Wheeling for
nearly half century. The old veteran
passed away yesterday at the age OF 81,
haringsurvived by almost quarter of a
century the three score years and ten al.
lotted to man. The story OF his lie and
adventures ia tolerably familiar to the
readers OF the TNrELLloEScER, having only
recently (since his iIlneSs) been write n
up FORTS columns. He was born in the
district OF Westphalia, Prussia, in 1855,
three years before the adoption Of the
Constitution Of the United States, and en-.
tered the German army as substitute
Tor his father. He was taken
prisoner by the French, and inasmuch as
his family were then living in Lorraine,
and that province having been ceded to
France, he cast in his lot with the French
people, and became { soldier under Ma.
poleon, and was I years a follower OF his
destiues. AS such he took part in the
great battles OF Leipsic, Borodino, Cam.
paang, Austerlitz and Waterloo. He also
was with Napoleon in the memorable and
disastrous Russian campaign, and wit
messed the burning OF Moscow. He be.
IOnged to Marshal Ney's corps and was a
member oil the "Old Guard"
Mr. Deiters was man OF considerable
education and at one time practiced law
after his discharge from army lie, aud
alter his return to his old home. He had
t'aveled a great deal over the world, and al
one time was in the service OF the East
India company atthe Cape OF Good Hope.
ltissSid that he was a member oI the Ma
ionic orderior seventy years, and was prob
ably one Of the Oldest, II not the very Oldest,
Mason in the country. Before the break
down Of his faculties, and up to O
very recent period, he was fond oi
relating the experiences Of his life, and
was greatly attached to the memory o.

Blaine May Heal the Quarrel by Taking
the Portfolio OF state-RIce Mentioned
For the Navy.
BosroN, December 2s.-It has been
hoped by many persons in this city that
Hon. Alex. II. Rice would find place in
President Garfeld's Cabinet as Secretary
OF the Navy. and at one time it was thought
he stood good chance Of getting such an
appointment which would be entirely ac.
ceptable to him. Friends Of Senator Blaine
in this city and Portland profess TO be very
confident, however, that Mr.. Blaine will
heal the Senatorial quarrel In Maine by
taking the position of Secretary OF State 10
Gsrield's Cabinet. resigning his position
In the Senate and allowing two Senate.
rial chairs to be filled instead OF one.
People who profess TO know about
such things say that Blaine has only 10
say eyes" to take up the portfolio which
Mr.. Evarts will be ready to surrender in
are leading candidates for Senator in
Maine. General Chamberlain, OF Bow.
doin College, formerly Governor OF the
State, is spoken OF, but has no chance
whatever. Republicans and Democrats
OF prominence concede that Hale has the
inside track; indeed he has the Blaine in.
fuence. What the outcome would be
from another Senatorial vacancy Is a
question, and It Is not improbable that in
such event Chamberlain will develop
much strength. II Blaine Is made Secre.
tary Of State, Mr. Rice or any other New
Eugland man may hope to advise With
President Garfield. The election for Sen.
ator in Maine will take place the middle
OF January.

OF which Custis Lee was the leader. How.
ards offence was In recognizing as his so.
cial equal his guardian's son, who was
then a Sergeant in the corps Of engineers

mitted an additional offense against the
pro.slavery cadets at West Point by his
open opposition to the extension OF slav.

abandonment OF this policy Of separation,
and that, without tsurrendering discipline,
there must be closer relation between
the officers and cadets, and the spirit ol
caste must be broken down.
