The Negro at West Point and Other Points.

We would suggest to the Republican organs now complaining because negro cadets are not taken into the bosoms of the young white children of Mars, that it will be an exceedingly difficult thing for them to find any locality in the North where negroes are received into white society on terms of equality. The colleges of New England are rarely honored by the presence of negro student. How many negro students are found at Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Bowdoin and other institutions whose authorities never cease professing to believe in negro equality, social and political ? How many negroes are seen in Northern hotels, Northern

temperance and secret organizations, in Northern churches on Sunday ? Our Republican contemporaries know perfectly well that what they insist shall be the rule* at West Point is the rule nowhere else. In no region on the globe is the negro so fully maae to understand and think he is not a social equal as in the Northern States.— Louisville ('ou-rier-Journal.
