The recent developments in the West

very many people, but have certainly
disappointed some stalwart calculations.
A great many sensible people have long
anticipated just what tho experts have
brought to light, and this class are now
turning their eyes With lanquid interest
in the direction Of h,ius acha,es simp'
sou, who, II will be- remembered, was
arrested on his way to Washington a
day or two after the outrage, This
other young colored gentleman spent
the evening before the affair with
Whitaker, in the latteI's room,
aud left West Point early next
morning, after hearing oi what had hap.
pened, without visiting his wounded
companion. When called 10 account
for his actions he deposed that he ieit

charge him with having had n hand in
the outrage. and that lao WAS going To
Washington tO enter tho service oi n

appears To lie of the general nebulous
