The Nation ial Republican Conven tion assembled in Chicago last Wedsday The preliminaries to the orcamzation were verv exciting to rjiv ?he leasL At timeaiftm8ia ' I i a my . struggle was in the National RepubI lican Committee.

I decision its report does not cover all that is important in the case. With the customary restrictive precision of military inqmries, it puts its judgment in these few words: I me uuuri is ui me uuiuiuu uiai uie imputation Upon the character of Cadet Whittaker relerred to in the order conI it A. 1 A 1 .1 aÄ7mZ,S deta and the rost snr?eon. is fullv RiiflI . 77." " " ft ftt th t the Pivot of ca8e was not in existence SXa.tS also, was not then a key-point in the case; LfdcSdÄiiÄ ant. Save forthat note and the revelations mowing out of it, it is unquestionable that a la t of the general public I would still hold the accusations against the colored lad to ne not sustained by proof. We can see, therefore, why some popular indignation was stirred up against the Military Academy. A cadet was found tied, and apparently the victim of the tricks of his comrades; the injuries indicted were trifling, and such as are not unu sual in institutions where hazing is allowed; it was well known that hazing was acustom at West Point; yet the prompt conclu sions of the authorities and students was that Whittaker was a liar and a coward, and had himself inflicted his injuries. In the case of any cadet that prompt outcry would have aroused astonishment; but when the alleged victim was a cadet of the proscribed color, astonishment was coupled with some indignation. It is true that, if the court has come to the right decision, the prompt judgment of the authorities against Whittaker was correct. But the point is that, whether guilty or innocent, it was at once taken for granted that he was guilty. No matter how strong the case against him, that course of conductwas a blunder;indeed,the stronger the apparent case against him. the less need was there of so PromDtlr throwing suspicions ou him, a&d the safer was it to give Lis theory of the case all possible credence, or show of credence. until the investigation should disclose its weakness. Another blunder of a like character was Gen. Schofield's issuing of an order remov ing restrictions from the cadets as a reward for their good conduct, under what he was pleased to call unjust imputations against them. At that time, as was after. ward shown by the testimony, he had no more proof than the public had that the

other cadets had no hand in the Whittaker affair; so that his implied rebuke of popular feeling was premature, and a false step. Indeed, the authorities of the Academy do not seem to realize how strong an im

pression was made on the general public uj mo reyeiauou oi me social OBiracism OI tne colored caaets. inis testimony came frankly and overwhelmingly from all the witnesses. It mav be said with trnth that the same thing out side the Academy, and that when the color linn in hlifprnti1 elsewhere it will disappear at West Point But the Mili J v4-m.j w uw 't t I UVU drawing-room, but a public institution, to Which the colored cadets were admitted on equal terms under the law, and where they presumably went without exnentinc to be socially proscribed. The alternative which they actually found presented to them, of either backin? out and heincr hooted for their cowardice, or of staying for four years where ther wr nnd'pr a social ban, was not an agreeable one; and wniie notning can excuse the perjury and trickery of Whittaker. if he was cuiltv nf it, his experience at the Anadflmv was at most not of a kind to teach him frankness of conduct and utterance.
