The facts turn out to be that Minter was jealous of Newla«d in regard to a girl named Gilpin. He threatened several times thai he would kill Newland at the first opportunity. He found Newland was at the house of Miss Giip-n, and the first words of Winter, were, "I'll kill him," when he fired the shot which severed the rectum and perforated the bladder, causing his death.

The Case of Colored Cadet Smith. The Secretary of War lias examined and acted upon the findings of the court of inquiry, whicii was ordered to investigate the'eharge of ili treatment of the colored cadet J. W. Smith, as alleged in his published letter. The court considered each charge set forth in that letter in its order, and reports that the
charge of liarrassment, by examination, is wholly unsustained. In conclusion the court expresses the following opinion:
First, That the evidence adduced warrants the trial by court martial of Cadet Corporal Giimore, who, while in command of his company, a police squad, is shown to have applied grossly abusive and insulting epithets to Cadet Smith.
Second, That the facts developed in regard to the conduct of Cadet Smith are of such a nature as to require his trial before a court martial.
Third That the cases of other cadets who so far forgot themselves, as to use osulting epithets to Cadet Smun should be disposed of by the superintendent-
Fourth, That professors and army officers on dutv at the academy have treated Cadet Smith with scrupulous fairness, recognizing and enforcing the practical observances so far as possible of his complete equality before the law.
Fifth, That the Superintendent of the academy and commandant of the cadets have taken especial pains to protect him at all times, and in all places, from the annoyances of those who might be prejudiced against him.
Sixth, That the cadet officers and many of tfie leading cadets have scrupulously respected his official rights, while the prejudices of others have resulted in acts of injury and insults, proven before the court, while a better feeling now prevails, and it is believed that measures adopted by the academic authorities will prevent a recurrence of such misdemeanors.
Upon these findings Secretary Belknap, on due consideration of the subject, and having a hope founded on the belief of the Court, that there will be no occurrence of s'milar misdemeanors on the
part
of cadets, disposed of it by ordering Cadets Giimore and Smith to be severely reprimanded by the Superintendent of the Academy, and assuring all concerned that if the reasonable expectations of the Department be not realized, most vigorous measures will be taken to bring to punishment any cadet who may be the cause of future trouble_ofthis kind.
The Pyramids.
Colonel Sir Henry James, in a recent lecture on the pyramids of Egypt, stated that in the King's chamber, inside the pyramid, some of the stones were thirty feet long. These stones, weighing some ninety tons, were not found in eg.ypt at all, but were brought down the Nile a distance of five hundred miles, and then placed in their present position, one hundred feet above the level of the ground. With regard to their finish, these Seynite stones are of the very hardest known, and yet they are so exquisitely polished, and built in (to form a casing for the King's chamber) with such superior skill, that the finest sheet of tissue paper could not be inserted between two of the stones, and this after a lapse of four thousand years. Such workmanship would excite the wonder and admiration of the world, even in this age of science and improvement.

It is asserted authoritively that the Minister of War, Count Palikoo, made an exceedingly ill-tempered speech in opposition to M. Favie's proposal, threatening that in case it was adopted, he would tender his resignation as Minister of War. This remark created a pro found
of several of the
members, the further consideration of the subject was postponed indefinitely. An informal vote was taken during the di«cussion- in whicii seventy Liberals voted against the proposition of M. Favre.
The session in the Chambers to-day was of the most important character. Count Palikoo anuounced to the Legislatif body that Marshall Bazaine was now Commander-in-Chief of all the French armies in the field, and that no other person shared the power with him.
M. Gamdetta thereupon declared that the Chamber must form itself into the positiou of a Committee of Defense, and pronounce between the salvation of the country and the safety of the Dynasty.
Great excitement followed the speech of M. Gambetta. There is a report in cir- 62dw

eolation here that the neutral powers a -e endeavoring to briugabout peace between France and Prussia. The Journal Offlc'al with reference to this view says there can be no question entertained for a siue'e instant of negotiation for peace. The thought of such weakness cannot be haibored by any Frenchman.
