reasonable and inhuman, and that it
deserves the ~seYerest condemnation.
Referring to the Whitaker inquiry,
Senator Edmuhds said: The conduct
of the case was such as TO place Whit
taker in q false position in the begin
ming, If the white cadets can be exeul-
patsd on their mere declaration, they
were fires from completely in the out
rage, the same theory ought to apply to
the cadets of the colored race, unless it
is assumed there can be no presumption
OF the existence of truth in the colored
cadet, an assumption which, few peo-
PIE would be willing to adopt. If the
denial was to have any effect, it ought
to have included the injured colored
cadet as well as the uninjured white
cadet; but he does not think well of the
theory in any case. Any one who
would commit such an outrage would
deny it; investigation ought to have
been constituted as to have made in
quiry to the event itself, and not to put
the youth on quasi trial, the very person
upon whom the assault had been COM
mitted. There is no unsurmountable
obstacle to corruption and existing
evils at the academy. This might be
accomplished by wise influence and ex-
ample of the officers and institutors
in charge. II this cannot be cccom-
plished, it should be a matter of SER
ious consideration whether such insti-
tuition should not be abolished.
Representatives Mckinley and FELTON,
in their report, do not believe the stan
dard of scholarship requiredSfor ad-
mission should be raised, but endorse
that portion of the report of Senator
Edmund's touching the race question
and its relation to the academy.
The accompanying bill, introduced
by Senator Garland, provides that
hereafter no officer above the rank of
colonel shall be assigned to duty at the
military academy, nor shall the whole
number of officers assigned to such
duty exceed the number Of 1t
also provides that the regulations for
appointees to the academy shall here
after be prescribed by the superintend-
ent INSTEAD of the secretary of war.
The last section of the bill provides
for the appointment of professors of
German, to teach that language at the
academy.

Editor Leader:
DEAR SIR: Having read in yester-
days Sun with great establishment the
lying and sensational report of my in
terview with Father Hayes. l beg the
use of your columns for a true expla-
nation Of my connection with that af-
fair, as the article alluded to bears the
ear marks of the reverend gentleman,
and includes m affecting biography Of
his career and numerous virtues, it is
fair to presume it was not written so
much to injure my good name as to
create sympathy for and assist his wan
ing reputation in this community.
AS you know, Mr.. Editor, l have
lived in this city for thirteen years
without a stain upon my good name, OF
any spot upon my record as u law abid.
ing, tax paying citizen; and lest some,
who do not know me should believe tie
fabrication of Father Hayes wild ro-
nance in the Sun, / hereby declare:
First-That l did not strike or choke
the reverand father in any manner.
Second-That l did not use the cur
ses and the violent, vulgar and abusive
language which he attributed to me.
Third-That my brother wal not
with me, but was at my home in. Camp
Carling at the time mentioned.
The persons present with me were
Chas. Conroy and G. H. Jordan, and
both are ready to testify to the facts rs
l present them.
Perhaps the public may not be inter.
ested in private grievances and church
quarrels, but l will simply state as to
the origin of the present feeling, that
Father Hayes has frequently and
shamefnlly abused me and my family
in church and otherwheres, calling us
by name. and using insulting and dc,
risive language, which called for somt
action on my part, for n mar who will

not protect his family from insult sis
worse than an infdel," whether such
insults come from a priest or highway
man.
/ am willing TO Acknowledge that ]
do not pay money TO support Father
Hayes in this community, and from
that arises the bitter animosity
which be eherishes. Although aCatho-
lie, / do not believe in the churchly
tyranny and the landlordism which
makes the reverend father think he
owns body and soul each and all of his
parishioners. His practises might dc
for his native Kerry in down trodden
Ireland, but not here.
Now as TO the interview referred to,
on Sunday last / learned that Hayes
had referred again TO a member of my
family in church, in a%pprobious Ian
gnage, singing her out alone as a tar
get OF his wretched An
other lady who sat with my sister, and
did not subscribe, was not alluded to.
/ suppose i am but human, and reflect
ing on the matter determined TO see
him and see if a stop could not be put
TO these petty prosecutions. Accord
ingly, accompanied by two persons
whose names l have given, j went to
his parsonage, but not finding him at
the house, we went on and soon met
him rear by in the street, 1 greeted him
as a gentleman, saying ''good evening,
Father Hayes y and then said i wished
to speak TO him about his reference to
my sister in church. He said he wished
to go, and would talk it over tomorrow,
/ said no, let us settle this thing right
here, you have talked about my family
enough, and l want it stopped from
this time forth. He began to be~some-
what terrified, although / was only
talking to him face TO face, and he
then attempted to pass on. said no,
let us understand this bushes, / don't
want you to ever mention my name or
the name Of any of my family in church.
Wishing him to answer me before 60
ing, L stood in his way. but offered no
violence to him whatever. But as it is
said, conscience makes towards of lis
ALL" he was too much excited and
scared to talk reasonably and ! left him
to go on.
Errn. fhfo 1fifIa anfan1n Iaa artoan
that terrible story Of violence which the
imagination Of Father Hayes combined
with the genius Of the Sun reporter
with the aid of a acknowledgements.
1t was the accumulation of wrongs
done me, which led me to demand some
explanation. Some time ago he ordered
my wife out of the church in a peremp-
tory and rough manner, when consult
ing him on a matter of child baptism,
and these prosecutions have continued
from time to time. l have no redress
either in law or in the church which
shields the holy(?) father, but l am de-
termined to defend my rights and pro-
tect the honor Of my family from any
further insult in that quarter.
As the reverend father is supposed to
be a peace maker, l would call his at
tention to a little incident which &C.
CURED on the arrival Of Count DeConti
as a prisoner, coming to Cheyenne for
trial. He called out to me and asked
if l had seen the LEADER that morn
ing, / said yes. He said, "You go
down and whip him for me, and I'll
pay your fine" / asked him if that
was the teaching of the Catholic
church, and went ON. There were two
other persons present who heard it.
