American Dead Beats I'm Mexico.

The people of our neighboring republic ol
Mexico. while congratulating themselves on
tho enterprise of their neighbors of the
United States in penetrating their country
with railways which add so much to com
mercia facilities between the two countries,
and the usual results which follow, may not
regard as a desirable acquisition the army of
American dead beats who have followed these
advances of civilization and progress.
The dead beat is parasite and always fol-
lows and makes himself part of advanced
progress. He may be and is nuisance, yet
he is a nuisance which we in this country
understand and know how TO deal with, but
our Mexican neighbors may not fully com.
prchend him.
friend in Monterey, who has bcecn there
for some time in the interest of railway
company organized and owned principally in
this country, gives us some interesting notes
of the "ways and means" of the United
States dead beat who has followed
the railway advance into Mexico
tIc is, according to tho account of
our correspondent, the same person in
appearance in Mexico as in this country, OK
capt that for the nobby Pennsylvania avenue
white or black fur hat he has adopted the
Mexican sombrcro. His other clothing,
though showing the signs of wear and tear, arc
scrupulously brushed, and he assumes the air
of an elegant gentleman.
When Mr.. Smith, from the United States
arrives aud registers his name at the hotel,
Mr., Dead Beat makes it special point to meet
him aud introduce himselfas belonging either
to one of the first families of the country OF
connected with some ofthe most distinguished
people Of tho United States or as n man sent
there as an expert by some large syndicate
He tells his victim that he is in posses
sion Of information in regard TO certain
mines out of which millions can be made
and only desires the cooperation of a few
men of capital and standing to put things
through" If the intended victim does not
take" well to his splendid offers, he winds
up with story of his own msfortunos, and
bogs the loan of two dollars for n few DAYS
to tide over his board bill. Everybody in
Washington is acquainted with this fellow.
lie has now got to Mexico. We hope our
Mexican neighbors will be shy of him.,

Murder.

"Thou shalt do no murder" These words
arc uttered from innumerablo pulpits, on
every Sunday, throughout the civilized world
by priests and ministers of religion to the
people who assemble for public worship.
No cry is so horrifying or heartrending as
that of murder" TO take the life of hu.
man being with malice aforcthought" ha,
always been regarded by civilized people as
the highest of all crimes. And yet there Is
u growing sentiment, at least in this country,
that there are some oflenses which mon com.
NIT that can only be cxpiatod by their talk
ing off,"
The public has been well informed through
the press of the killing of Mutt at Union
town, Pennsylvania, by Dukes, and of the
subsequent action of the people of that town,
and of the legislature of Pennsylvania, OF
which Dukes was member. A son of the
murdered Mutt few days since deliberately
took the life of the slayer of his father. He
at once surrendered himself to the proper
authorities, and is now confined in prison.
From many parts of Pennsylvania and from
distant states aud from Washington city mes
sagcs havaScen sent to young Mutt tender
ing sympathy to him and his family aud
offering pecuniary assistance. In Pittsburg
and other places subscription has been
started to raise money to defray the expenses
of the defense.
What is the meaning Of this, 1t GER
tainly is not that the people of this country
approve of and desire to condono tho crime of
murder.
But there is a growing sentiment land we
fear dangerous onc) that the laws delay y
aud the failure of tho courts established to
punish crimc have become so apparent that
the people will justify men, in some cases. in
taking the execution of condign punishment
into their own hands.
In country Of law and order this state
of things should not be, but may we hope
that it will be lesson not lost on those who
arc appointed to administer tho law to do sc
without fear, favor, or affection" and, above
all, without delay.

west Point MILITARY Academy.

The board Of visitors to the military acad-
emy at West Point have made a report, which
is in brief as follows:
The state of discipline Is most excellent, and is
characterized by great fairness and absolute i'm
partlality.
In the various departments constituting the
academic course. the cadets showed degree OF
Intelligence and efficiency rejecting the highest
credit upon their instructors. as well as upon
themselves.
So far as we can judge, the result OF the course
of INSTRUCTION aud training at the academy are in
the highest degree satisfactory.
A graduate at West Point is almost OF necessity
a gentleman in the best sense of the word-a man
ofintelligence integrity, aud truth-the very best
material for a brave and efficient soldier, and u
useful citizen system of instruction producing
these results is entitled to tho support OF the gov
enment aud the respect of the people,
The great wonder is that in the short period of
four years such wide field of study can be GOV.
cred, and at the same time the work can be done
so we'll.
This certainly is very satisfactory report,
We have as yet seen no report Of tho board of
visitors to the naval academy. No doubt
their report will be full and exhaustive We
take it that the young men who onter both
academies belong to the same class, that is
