ton of demanding that should allow
YOU, under the cover of my official
name, to charge these men with that
which if true makes them and each of
them felons before the law, without
placing in my hands even the shadow of
a fact on which to base so serious q
charge, for my permission in allowing
my name thus TO be used. You must
concede that no honorable man
should charge another with the COM
mission of felony unless he has
some proof within his knowledge tending
to sustain such charge, yet you request

American Society of Engineers.

New York, April IA meeting of engi-
nccrs was held at the Stevens Institute, Ho-
bolscn, today for the purpose Of organizing an
association to be called the American Society
of Engineers. II. r. Worhington, hydraulic
engineer, presided, and about eighty gentle
men from various parts of the country were
present The rules and regulations of the so.
ciety, which had been drawn up by n commit.
tee appointed at preliminary meeting were
unanimously adopted. They state that the
objects of the association are to promote the
arts and sciences connected with engineering
and mechanical construction by means of
meetings for social intercourse aud tho read.
ing and discussion of professional papers, and
to circulate by means of publications among
its members the information thus obtained,

Secretary Ramsey has received from Cen
eral Schofeld at West Point report of the
outrage upon j. W. Whitaker, the colorcd
cadet at that institution. The report Is sub.
stantinly the same as that printed in ycster-
tcrday's NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Secretary
Ramsey evidently takes no stock in the story
that tho injuries were sclf-innicted, and has
directed General Schoficld to make the most
searching investition and, if possible, detect
the perpetrators of the outrage. Since Cadet
Whitaker has been at the Military Academy
he has been subjected to every annoyance
that could bo put upon him without actually
incurring penalty under the rules of the in
stitution. On the occasion of a recent visit to
this city he stated TO a friend here that he
underworld to avoid these insults by avoiding
all appearance Of thrustiug himself into the
company of the white cadets, aud only an.
pearcd with them when under orders. Even
this seclusion, however, seems not to have
been sufficient to shield him from the barbar-
Gus assault. An investigation, If vigorously
prosecuted, with n desire to get to the bottom
Of the affair, will probably throw some light
upon the transaction before long.
