The West Point Mystery. The Carolina Colored-Cadet's Peck of Troubles. Telegram to the New York Times. WEST POINT, April 7.-Some of the lead ing officers at West Point dis credit the statement that colored Cadet Whitaker, who was found with - hands and feet bound and ears cut, committed the act on himself. They! say that his life at the Academy makes any such theory untenable, as he has always been straightforward and frank, and, as Gen. Schofield says, has been reported less than any other cadet in the corps. When he entered the hos pital yesterday, the steward exclaimed, "Hello, what are you here for ?" Whitaker burst into tears and replied, "They tried to kill me last night." They say it was utterly impossible for him to tie himself as he was found. Not only was he bound hand and foot, but his feet were tied to the iron bed stead. His wrists were tied together tightly, and then his hands were i bound with straps. One of the offi cers says: "It looks to me as if the I boys had got into his room for the purpose of raising the devil with him, and went further than they intended.. To say that he did this himself tc ex cite sympathy, so as to be helped through the coming June examina tion, is absurd. He has already gone through three months of the course, and if he is found deficient, that ends ! him, regardless of anything that may happen to him now. The idea, too, that he injured himself so as to be sent to the hospital is also absurd, for he said himself he was not in pain, or badly injured, and was ready for his studies. As yet no one is justified in charging that he did the deed, for there is no evidence proving that fact. True each and every cadet positively denies any knowledge of the affair, but if one, two, or three of them did have a hand in it, would they be likely to say they did ! On the contrary, if there are cadets bad enough to com mit such a crime, are they not bad enough to deny it to save themselves, knowing it is a felony, subject to im prisonment ?' The examination of each member of the Cadet Corps was concluded late yesterday, and each and every one denies any knowledge whatever of the matter. ,Gen. Schofield said to day that it had been thoroughly de monstrated that not a cadet had any hand in the matter, and that there, were indications that Whitaker might have committed the act himself; bat this, said he, "is mere conjecture," and it would not be right to make the charge against him until further evi deuce was obtained. When asked how could Whitaker tie himself as he was found, the General replied he might have an accomplice. He says that little contradictions in statements made by Whitaker help to confirm suspicions against him. If he was beaten it was singular that no bruises were found on him at the hospital. The hasty charge, however, that he himself did the work, is not yet borne out by the facts in the case; but if any plausible evidence looking that way comes to light, Whitaker will be brought before Gen. Schofield to an swer interrogatories. The writing in the note of warning which Whitaker says he received last Sunday has been compared with his handwriting through a microscope, and it is stated that similarities have been detected, though on that point Gen. Schofield says the writing will be taken to New York to obtain the views of experts. There is no doubt that there is a strong feeling in certain quarters at West Point against the colored cadet, for, as a clerk in one of the offices says, "he has been ostracised ever since he has beeni here." But he has been well and fairly treated by Gen. Schofield. The evidence that he did not commit the outrage on himself is much stronger than the conjectural evidence that he did. Gen. Schofield had an interview this afternoon with Whitaker, and told him of the impressions that he tied and cut himself. Whitaker emphat ically an,J persistently denied this, and asked what could be his motive. He also asked for a court of inquiry, which Gen. Schofield has ordered for Friday morning, open to the public. Gen. Schofield says the opinion that Whitaker did the work himself is mere conjecture, which idea the court of invuiry may or may not dispel. * The Greenville Railroad. Efibrts of the annM to Secure Control and Xaka Connci with Chcinati Special Dispatch to the Nqews and Courier. Comm~l, April 6.-Messrs Plant and Brawley, representing a committee of the bondholders of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, returned to this city to-night on a special train after a tour of inspection over the line of the road. They will be bid ders for the road at the sale on the 15th instant. I have authority for stating that H. B. Plant had no ex pectation of buying the road in the interest of the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. Plant and Brawley are acting together in the in terest of the bondholders of the road, and if the line is bought by them it will be operated solely for the purpose of protecting the bonds of the road. If the road is purchased by these par ties a combination will be formed to complete a line to connect with the Cincinnati Southern. The report that the Air-Line Road intends to com pete is hardly probable, as that road is under the control of the Piedmont line, and that is said to be controlled by the Pennsylvania Central. W. H.

It circulates extensively, and as an kdvertising medium offers unrivalled ad rantages. For Terms, see first page. The G. t: C. R. R. Thursday, the 15th, is the day for the sale of the Greenville & Col ambia Rail Road. When the sale was ordered by Judge Mackey in November or December it was thought that the State was respon sible for $1,000,000 worth of the bonds, and the minimum bid was fixed by the Court at that sum. Since the order it has been ascer tained by Commissioner Coit that the State had guaranteed the bonds to the extent of $2,300,000. Attor ney General Youmans moved before Judge Kershaw last week in Colum bia for an amendment to the order of sale, so as to fix the minimum bid at $2,300,000. Argument was heard Friday, and Judge Kershaw refused to interfere. If the road sells for less than $2,30.i,000 the State will have to pay the differ ence. The sale of the Laurens R. R. has been postponed to August 15th. Is it Imprisonment for Debt? About a year ago a man was sen tenced to fine and imprisonment under an Act of the Legislature for failure to pay his poll tax. He ap pealed to the Circuit Court, on the ground that the sentence was un constitutional, that instrument for bidding imprisonment for debt. The appeal came before Judge Ker shaw, who sustained the Court be low, holding that the poll tax was not a debt, and that imprisonment for non-payment did not come un der the prohibition in the Constitu tion. The party did not appeal to the Supreme Court. Last week a similar appeal from a Trial Justice's sentence came be fore Judge Aldrich at Beaufort. He decided as Judge Kershaw had done. The party ini this case, Ar thur E. Ezekiel, appealed to the Supreme,Court. The decision will be looked for with interest. Dr. Frederic Laris Bitter, of Vas sar College, Poughkeepsie, N.

The late election in England re sulted in a victory for the Liberals. Lord Beaconsfield (Disraeli). who has held the position of Prime Min ister for many years, has resigned, and Mr. Gladstone, the Liberal 0 leader. will probably succeed him. The Democrats of the Senate are divided on the question of unseat- I ing Kellogg, of Louisiana. They are afraid to take any steps in the li matter, and are haling between right and what they call "policy". Jno. C. Whittaker, the only col- I ored cadet at West Point, was seized while in bed the night of the r 5th by three masked men who cut t oif part of one ear and slit the other.

FoR THE HERALD. Our wVashington Letter. I WASHINOTON, D. C., A pril 7, 1880. Of Presidential candidates I have S said very little, yet this is the one a subject most talked of among politi- v~ ians here. Speaking of our party's p candidates it is certQin that in the 13 Suhth Hancock is securing some o of the Bayard and Tilden strength, fi though at this writing it does not g seem likely he will get.it all; and that t Seymour is gaining in the North. So e far, however, it is fair to say-and I say it while not personally favoring t his nomination-Mr. Tilden lias the b best assured following if the New York t Democratic quarrels can be settled. ti The strength in Convention of Messrs. a Thurman and Hendricks is in the West, though some New England C delegates will support the former or C Hancock, in all probability. It seems si to be the intention, as it is certainly I the policy .uf the party, to send no in- d structed delegations to Cincinnati. p Among Republicans, it is as yet, no A man 's race. Grant gains in the South, and portions of the North. Blaine in ri the West and North-East, and Sher- ri man in the South, besides he is pick- 1e ing up a few delegates in some West- e erm States. Senator Ednmunds is try- p ing to get up a boom of his own in d New England, and Washburne is on a thieving expedition into the Grant a strongholds. He will cut Grant's si throat if he can. But forewarned is g forearmued, and Grant's friends are a warned as- to his intentions and are fil watching him. This canvass is a pe culiar one and is growing wore so ev- 1i ery day.t In the Hlouse of Representatives oi there is a decided business boom. D Much that was expected to cause delay I has been disposed of in one way or b4 another in the past week. Yesterday 15 the army appropriation bill was up in b the House, and, as reported from the uj Committee, has not on it the proposed b< rider prohibiting payment to troops [f for service at the polls. This, how- em ever, will be added by the House, h either to-day or to morrow. There is P now some question whether or niot the of Republicans will oppose this rider veryh vigorously.

We believe his -State will be rateful, and honor herself in thi omination of her pet son for Gov rnor this year, The remainder of the above Statt eket are suggested because they art onest, strong, and able men, pecu any fitted for the respective posi ons. Strength, unity, fitness char eterize the whole. Buist stands upon the record. The hairman of the Ways and Meant omrittee '78-80, he has shown him f able, and possessed of great legis tive and Executive talent-a man o: eep and broad views-a terror tc hosphate mnonoplies and Bond Rings thorough Democrat-a man. Howard stands upon his Senatoria) icord ; nor had the people a better spresentative. He is a man who orks for the people, and the people ants him. Abbeville has told the ople uf Hood and we simply en* rare every word here. Sloan is a bigheaded mathematician, strong conservative man and will iow the people where their money es. He is of and for the people man of strong and enlightened sancial views. All that can be said of Manigault Sthis connection is, that he will urn the shattered militia into a well ganized soldiery, and he is a stern emocrat of great force and influence, is a true maxim that "if nothing rd can be said of a man, all of him true''" So stands Thompon; an un emished gentleman ; eulghtened Don systems of Education, though und down by want of money ; a an of large influence and indomitable ergy. Education and schools are s studies. Elect him. Gen. Y. J. ope is very peculiarly fitted for the Eice of Attorney-General. We urge s claims to preferment because he is e, bold, affable, energetic. His and for the State in the great bond ht showed him a lawyer of un estioned ability. His reputation as lawyer throughout the State spots mu as the coming Pope to expound ~d interpret the civil law of our ate. There never was a more con ientious gentleman than Colonel all, for, while he is kind, gen ~ ornt'-t~rni~ lip llfl of an able, fearless. industrious. and conscientious public servant, we think the State should keep him on tl:e go, and thereby keep justice and villians in the same condition. Looking, then. as we do, from the people's standpoint, we could not pick a better, or abler ticket than the above, and working for the people as we do, therefore present it for their selection and support. RICH MOND. Foft THE HERALD. An Early Nomination. MESSRs EDITORS: The Radicals are busily at work under the leader ship of Bowen, Mackey. Taft. Sim kins, Mobley, Kennedy. Elliot, et al. For months past they have been in triguing at W,shiagton to secure among the office-holders so as to have none but workers on guard to reassure the wavering and to recall the desert ers. With these facts before us, it is evident that the Radicals throughout the State are not afraid of a long can vass, and put no confidence in "a short, sharp and decisive campaign." Can the Democrats afford to disregard the conduct of their astute opponents and leave the canvass to take care of itself? It is evident that if the Rad icals, with a negro majority in the State, find six months for the work of preparation, the Democrats must com menee operations early likewise, or r put their faith in a miracle which cannot be depended on to occur in presidential year of election. If the opponents of early nominations of State officers shall prevail in the June Convention, the canvass will not begin until August or September, three or four months later than the Radicals start. The Radicals will be consoli dated and prepared at every point be fore the Democrats know who are their leaders and what is to be the general line of the canvass. The Radicals in tend to make a struggle in the State. They will commence betimes, and, in my- view, the Democrats ought to keep step with them, and so organize for victory. I think the nomination of State officers, by all means, should be made in June, and every Club in the State should reorganize at once and begin at once to put Deinocracy in or der. It will be very hard to make any progress prior to the nomination of State officers. X. Grateful Women.

It is thought these will be found valua -ble, not only for their edible, but for their keeping quality, as they came to us in barrels, and notwithstanding the long voyage and crossing the equator, arrived in excellent condition. Col.

In thus complying with the request of Col.

During the year there was a gracious revival at old Tranquil Church. She was wonder-uy ble.-ed. It became to her a new departure She rose to a higher plane of Christian life, to a higher attai:ment in Christi.n experience, and entered upon a wider .-unge of Jbristian u<efulness. This advanced ground she nobly :uaintained with steady - growth and incre.s:ng happiness, until the day of her dea;th. She was always careful to look after the comfort and wel fare of the preachers and their famirlies. Thu South Carolina preachers who traveled the Newberry circuit shared largely in her hos pitality and liberality,. What preacher ever found a sweeter home anywhere thn the weary itinerant often found with our now glorified sister? While the writer pens :hese thoughts how many things memory calls up, deep, wondrous and pleasing. We have known but few Christian women who had so many attractive and amiable qualities as a wife, mother and friend. In October, 1865, she removed from her old home in South Carolina to Arkansas, where she soon gath ered troops of friends around her. It was only necessary to know her in order to love her. Death to her is gain. She leaves a hus band and three children behind, who are looking forward with "longing hopes and cheerful smiles" to the day when they will all meet again to part no more. COLIN MURCHISON. HERICK 0.. son of J. Hillary and S. Cathe rine Sligh, died 5 o'clock F. M., 26th nltimo. He was born 10th [arch, 1858. He joined the M. E. Chu:ch, South, 1871. It was his lot to carry through life a severe bodily affliction. The sticking of a large splinter into his knee, when seven years old, proved to be the occasion of a life-long rheumatism. This was the thorn In the flesh. The sequel furnishes another bright illustration of the wonderful saying: "My grace is sufficient for thee; my strength is made perfect in tby weakness." Entering into mercantile life, he developed a tact and and an energy which were a sure guarantee of success. His brief business career drew forth the sterling qualities of truth and in tegrity. The business community trusted him. Possessing a lively, cheerful disposi tion, which was chastened, not soured, by affliction, and restrained also by grace, he drew to himself many warm personal friends. The whole community manifested a deep sympathy In his death The tribute of public appreciation was spontaneous. Affliction doubtless accelerated the earthly completion of the work of grace. Like his Ma,ter, he was willing to drink the cup, the bitter cup of an early, premature death, if, in the gracious, wise appointment of his hes.venly Father, it 'was not possible for it to pass. The crisis came early; he was con scious of its approach, and by the grace of Jesus he was prepared for a safe and glo rious issue. The thorn in the flesh has been extracted, the sting of death has been taken away, and the freed spirit of our patient, suffering brother is now in paradise. May God prepare as all for a like triumph, wheth er it be to-day or to-morrow. A. W. M. Xew .4dvertisenents. WORTH .0F J.ITW GOQllS!!
