MR. WILLIAM g. Dodge. the New
York millionaire, delivered . lecture
in that city last week, wherein he
showed why early marriages we're not
so frequent as formerly, and why
there were so many bachelors in the
cities. Inability to maiutain families
was the sole cause OF the modern
heaistaney concerning marriage.
Fifty years ago Mr.. Dodge married
and began housekeeping, paying $500
rent for 4 house that was then con.
sidared very fine. To day the owner
Of the building receives 81. 500 e year
fer It. a2d the location Is far from q
fashionable district. The young man
Of to-day could not establish himself
in housekeeping II SO eligible a home
for three times $500 8 year. The COST
of other requisites for housekeeping
had increased IN about the same PFC
portion as the rent, therefore making
It impossible for young people yho
are not well Of" 10 Indulge IN toe
luxury Of marrying and living com.
iortsbly as their parents did. Mr..
Dodge also suggested that there was
another obstacle IL TIE way Of early
marriages, which did net appesr fifty
years ago. Then business vas open |
TO young men, and they might easily !
establish themselves in trade; bat !
now the large firms monopolize |
nearly 81 branches of business. COM |
pelling men OF limited means 10
become employ6s. There is much /
truth in what the distinguished
gentleman asserted. Fashion and
the inability to live on the salaries
now paid, prevent hundreds of young
men in the cities from marrying, !

THANKS.

We acknowledge with no small de
gree of pleasure the compliment be-
slowed upon The Leader for its stand
in favor of honorable official recogni-
tion for colored men. Not only from
this city and the State, but from all
sections of the country, we are in daily
receipt of many letters, congratulate
ing The Leader, and applauding its
course. Next week we shall publish
a number ofthese letters taking them
in the order in which they have been
received. Almost without exception
the letters are good, and will keep and
be mighty interesting reading, weeks
hence.
some are little lengthy for our col
umns, some are very severe on certain
individuals who have betrayed their
trusts. From these we shall take ex-
tracts and reserve the other facts for
use where and when they will do the
most good.
of one thing our friends may be
assured, The Leader will always be
found in the van of the fight for JUS
tice and equality.

The court of inquiry at West Point
in the Whitaker case has reached a
conclusion which is exactly in keep
ing with the Negro.hating prejudice
that has always existed in this nur-
sery for the propagation of troops.
The conclusion arrived at by the court,
is that Whitaker was his own mutila-
tor. He is accordingly condemned,
and ordered under arrest to await the
action of the Secretary of War, whose
prerogative it is to approve or disap-
prove of the findings of the court.Secre-
tary Ramsey has the reputation of be.
ing an honorable and fair minded man
but whatever he may do in the prem
ises, the fact will remain that a large
majority of the unprejudiced-think-
ing people Of the country regard
Whitaker as the victim of an lnfam-
GUS and cowardly outrage, perpe-
trated in the interest of caste and
prejudice. No cooked-up job of a
packed and prejudiced military court
can swerve them from this opinion.
The fact has been exceedingly patient
from the time of the commission of
the outrage, that the West Point au-
thorities, including Schofeld the COM
mander of the post, had prejudged
the case against young Whitaker; and
hence the PRONUNCIATION of their not
unbiased opinion creates no surprise
anywhere. Their. previous conduct
has led everyone to expectsuch lame,
weak and criminal decision as they
have given. But this will not be the
the whitaker case, and neither
will it be the end of opposition to the
end of snobbing and pimp aristocracy
at the Government Military Institute
at West Point. A day of reckoning
must and will come. A tender and
sympathetic cord has been touched
not only in the hearts of 5000, ,00C
black people, but in the breasts o.
millions Of honorable white people
The fact is recognized that the Mill
tary Institute is in the hands of 6
corrupt gang of anti Republican, anti
Negro, and anti-American, would b.
aristocrats; and that the Institution
itself is not only sink-hole of snob
berry and venality, but a nuisance tina
most be abated. The spectre of mur
dered honesty, decency, fair play an'
true manhood, is an apparition tina
will not down at any mans bidding
even though he be 80 highly exalte'
in Military rank and paraphernali
as General Sherman or General Sche
field. West Point as at present man
aged, has received its doom; the ses
only remains to be placed upon it.

other cadets had no hand in the Whitta

other cadets had no hand in the Whitta
ker affair; so that his implied rebuke O.
popular feeling was premature, and false
step.
Indeed, the authorities of the Academy
do not seem to realize how strong an inn
preston was made on the general public
by the revelation of the social ostracism OF
the colored cadets. This testimony came
frankly and overwhelmingly from all the
witnesses. 1t may be said with truth that
the same thing out side the Academy, and
that when the color line is obliterated
elsewhere it will disappear at West Point.
But the Military Academy is not private
drawing-room, but public institution, to
which the colored cadets were admitted
on equal terms under the law, and where
they presumably went without expecting
to be socially prescribed. The alternative
which they actually found presented to
them, of either backing out and being
hooted for their cowardice, or of staying
for four years where they were under
social ban, was not an agreeable one; and
while nothing can excuse the perjury and
trickery of Whitaker, if he was guilty of
it, his experience at the Academy was at
most not of kind to teach him frankness
of conduct and utterance.

CHICAGO.

The National Republican Conven
ton assembled in Chicago last Wed
nesday. The preliminaries to the or
ganization were very exciting to say
the least. At times irreparable rup
ture seemed imminent. The frs
struggle was in the National Repub
lican Committee. The Anti Grant
men had the majority Of the Commit
tee and they determined not to per
NIT Mr.. Don Cameron. the chairman
to organize the convention in the in
terestof General Grant. A motion
was made on the committee to the eff
feet that the unit rule be not OBJ
served. Mr.. Cameron declared the
motion out of order An appeal was
taken from his decision, which he al
so declared out of order. A caucus
of the anti-Grant members of the
committee afterwards decided to de-
pose Mr.. Cameron from the chair
manship. This had the effect to
bring about compromise, the terms
of which were that Hon. Geo. r.
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, aan nti-
Grant man, should be made tempor-
ary chairman that the unit rule
should not be observed in the organ
ization of the convention that the
regular delegations from all the States
excepting Louisiana should be ad-
mitted, and that the unit rule ques-
tion must be decided by the conven-
ton after the permanent organization
should be effected. The convention
was called to order by Mr.. Cameron
on Wednesday, and temporary or
ganization effected with Mr.. Hoar as
Chairman, according to programme.
The committee on credentials, con-
sisting of one from each State, was
then appointed and the credentials of
all contested delegations were refer
ed to this committee witout debate.
The principal contesting delega-
tions are from Illinois, Louisiana and
Alabama, though there are a number
of others. The committee on creden-
tials contains large anti Grant ma
jority and will no doubt give seats to
most of the contesting delegates. 1t
is now known that the committee has
ruled favorably to the Alabama and
Illinois contestants. The great fight
will be made on the adoption of the
report of the committee which will
be made to-day (Friday) and before
we 60 to press, the country will no
doubt know the decision. The indi-
cations are that the report of the
committee which will recommend the
admission of the contesting delega-
tions will be adopted by the conven-
tion; that the unit rule will be ig-
nored thus allowing delegates to vote
their individual preferences. If this
programme should be carried the de-
feat of General Grant will be assured.
