.I THE CITADEL ?MBHOQt?O, A .sk'ATI-: M KN r FKOM COLONEL JOHN P. THOMAS. I *~"""* De Jtecltes the Clrcuwetaneea ConttltatlnR lils Reasons for lie si rn I ns; the Saperia tendency. (/'Vom thc NeWS mid Courier, August 7.) As late Superintendent of thc South Carolina Military Aoadeiny, justice to inyself as well as to tho cause of sound discipline in the Slate's military school constrains mc rehtetlantly to break ray reticence in connection with my rcisg ItatiOU and to place the facts beforo the public tribunal. Tho caso is best stated ill the logical order of tho fol lowing communications : 1. Under date of July ?, 188.3, Col Thoinus, Superintendent, wrote as fol? .- lows to Gonoral Hagood, Chairman of the Hoard of Visitors: "The Executive Committee of tito Board ot Visitors having oil a recent occasion declined to investigate a re port made by mc as Superintendent, of combination of serious character among lite cadets of tins Academy, and having further excused a mooting of said cadets, boldly held without the previous knowledge or sanction of Hie Superintendent, both cases involving, as I hold, principles vital to discipline I lake leave to slate that I feel that 1 have not been sustained, and that the Executive Committee lias not given to my office the consideration duo to it under the law of tho Academy. '.Hence 1 have the honor, agreeably to Article 6th, Kegu'.a'.ions, to give tho required notice of resignation." Soon thereafter 1 appiivd io Hie Chairman for his consent to in> unking* public this notice of my resignation in order that thc issue made might be distinct and disconnected from subse quent developments. To this tho Chairman, on ground of good of tho Academy, declined to assent. Under ?ute of August _, I88.r>, Colonel Thomas, Superintendent, \vi,..tcas follows to General Hagood, ( ihnirhYftH Board of Visitors: "My conni?fiTf'cUitlon of July fl, 1885, contains the i m mediate "gTO?y,U8 of my resignation. Desiring Hie iio.'M'ii of Visitors to understand fully my ban?o""* of action, 1 liavc Hie honor to request that you submit lo that body the re ports Nos. 1 and 2, enclosed herewith which the Executive Committo ot tho Hoard did not deem it expedient lo investigate. "While thc serious difference^ of opinion growing ont of a grave ques tion of discipline, and some discord in general between thc Hoard of Vis itors and Hie Superintendent, make my retirement from my offices imper ative and irrevocable, lot me here ex press the sentiment that moves nie of unimpaired devotion to my alma nutter Connected for nearly twenty years With tho Old Academy and Hie new, and thus bound to both jby strong ties and tender memories I shall continue to maintain willi unswerving loyalty the cause of tho Citadel. No longer serving Hie Academy under thc Hoard I shall bc found in (he ranks of thc citizenship of the State doing all in my power to magnify South Carolina's school of arts and ar ms,an institution ab solutely indispensable to Hie full devel opment of tin mental nndSmoral forces of her youth. No longer tho executive of the Hoard, I shall be its ally and its champion in every wise meusure of its future ad mi II is trat ion. "Allow mc to close with the expres sion, heretofore made three years ago, of my appreciation of tlie con fidence ol* the Hoard of Visitors in calling me to Hie work of re establishing this school, of reluming the lires on the academic altar. In my sphere I have sought, (?od knows how earnestly, to lay thc foundations broad and deep; to make the scholarship of the Aoadeiny thorough, accurate and polished; ils soldiership industrious and genuine* its code of ethics high; in tine to cast it in a mould ns lofty as I could fashion. This lias been my linn purpose. How far I have effect ed il, anil to what extent 1 am myself responsible for my unrealized ideal, 1 shu! 1 leave to thc public judgment, lint tins I know, and will declare, that 1 builded thc best I knew how; that 1 have tried to comprehend my trust and to keep faithful to it wilh-singlcucs of aim. "That thc Hoard of Visitors has sought the good of the charge com? milted to it I have never doubted ; and my prayer is that ?ls administration may bc blessed with thc largos! mid best results for the Academy and thc coun try. "When the time shall como for nie to relinquish my trust, I congratulate myself upon Hie fact that I shall be enabled to turn ovd- to thc Hoard of Visitors Hie Academy in excellent working order, and without ono dol lar's indebtedness." li On August 1, 1886, when Hie Hoard of Visitors sitting nt tho Citadel were on the evo of adjournment sine die, Quartermaster White, sayipg that he had been directed so lo do, handed me thc paper annexed, signed S. II. Jones, Secretary. It came without previous consultation with thc Super intended,t and was a surprise to that officer, because bc had been lcd to con clude from the individual views ex pressed to liim by a member of thc Hoard that tho buding ot thc Court of Inquiry would be Hie end of thc Schir mcr mnttcr, and thai my promotion of Cadet Sci I'mer would not be called in question. [Extracts from Minute*. ) "CADKT SciuuMKit's CASK.-When thc recent Court of Inquiry was con vened thc Hoard of Visitors reserved to itself to inquire, beyond thc chnrges and specifications presented, into the fitness of Cadet Schirmer for tho offico to which he wn9 appointed. Having dis charged this duty, "Resolved, That, considering nil thc circumstances developed, while the Board have acquitted Cadet Schirmer in Hie Court of Inquiry of tho charges nffecting his character as a gent lem?n, yet in thoir apprehension the academic career of tho Cadet floes not exhibit quulificntioiiH enabling him to discharge tho linties of nu officer iisofully to tho Acadomy. Thc Superintendent is, therefore, directed to rovoke Cadet f Schirmors appointment as a Sergeant *v6ithe corp?.' Jfrnmcdlately upon its receipt, invlt lng tim Chairman to my office, I res pectfully but. briefly notified him that, fleeming the ordor illegal, I did not intend lo ox?enlo lt. Ho replied, in substance, that there wa? nothing more to ho said, and the interview ended. I h?re ntato,*lti vindication ot my sol diery character, that I stood on (heso grounds: tho regulation? of tho Acad . erny makeup tho code of the Academy and HtamT'to the Board of Visitors and jj. ? gl_zZ2L..^-l-~' the Suporltitohdont tu tho. rolatidn of army regulations to offluor? und s.nbor dinatos. Tho regulations of thc South Curolhui M i'.ii.u \ Academy, though made up hy tho Hoard ol Visitors, under, tho authority conferred in thc < Act passed December 2, 1842, and eu- ] titled ''An Act to con vet tho Arsenal at Columbia and the Citadel and Maga- 1 ziuu in and near Charleston into mili- 1 tn ry schools,'' are binding equally on 1 tho Hoard and on the Superintendent. Art. Regulations S. C. M. A., reads: "Tho Superintendent will have immediate governmentjot the Academy and bc held responsible for its correct management." Art. 72 reads thus: "The cadets of the Academy shall constitute*!! mili tary corps, and shall bc subjected to military discipline under command ol' the Superintendent." Art. 92 contains thc following special points: "Tho commissioned or non-commissioned officers shall be ap pointed by Hie Superintendent from 'those cadets who have been most active and soldier like in the perform ance of their duties, aiul most exem plary in their general deportment.'" Again: "Cadet officers, of whatever rank, arc required to be loval to their trust and do their duty with courtesy, but at tlie same time with firmness and entire impartiality. Any cadet ollicer who neglects his duty and betrays the confidence reposed in bim will be reduced to tho ranks,'' &C. lt is not staled, be it noticed, that thc eadet ollicer must of necessity bc pop ular with his comrades. Hoing sum marily called upon, without previous conference on a delicate matter, lo revoke thc appointment which 1 had made umler the law-in which appoint ment, as to its wisdom aw I propriety, I have beeii authorized by Major Cain, Lieut. Weaver, U. S. A., and Capt. Lyman Hall, of my late military fam ily, to state, if 1 deemed it contributory to my vindication, that, although not originally consulted by mein the mak ing ot it, they fully concurred with me - 1 could not hesitate as to my duty. To revoke Cadet Sergeant Schirmcr's appointment wns to reduce him to thc ranks, lo put him under ban without cause and without trial--to deny him tho rights and privileges accorded to other cadets. That, in my judgment, was the plain English of the order that came to me. As thc Kegulatious state that ti cadet ollicer can be de ?Jjfivcd ol' bis ollicc only when bc neglect? duty or betrays confidence re posed in bini' f ?i,,tfjd._thnt the order of (ho Hoard was clearly uftjgali and [felt as a man and soldier absolved from any obligation to obey said orue^V^I could not and would not serve at the* altar of what I deemed illegal sacrifice -illegal as to the written ?aw and thc Regulations and also as *o the unwrit ten law ot common justice. 4. Subsequently, the same evening of August 4, 1 sent to the Chairman the following formal notice: "I have received (he order of the Hoard ol' Visitors directing mc to re voke Cadot Schirmcr's appointment as Sergeant cd' the corps. Without enter ing into the question ol' (lie legality ol thc oilier, 1 have the honor to decline to bc the instrument, in my official position as Superintendent, tor doing what 1 regard a serious injustice to a worthy and deserving cadet by inflict illg upon him that punishment which, by the regulations of the Academy, i-? especially appropriate to thc case of a 'Ctldotofficor who neglects his duty and betrays the confidence reposed in him,' neither of which offences Cadot Ser geant Schirmet' has committed." The Ncirs und Courier of August ?, by authority of "some member or members of the Hoard of Visit rs," ns the Chairman subsequently in'ormcd inc, announced thal my resignation had been accepted, to lake oiled, as I had proposed duly 28, on October 1 next. This was my first notice of action on my resignation, although I had on July l.r> and oil July I* urgently but unsuccessfully asked leave of tho Chairman lo make thc fact of said resignation public. ?. About ."? p. m. August .">, ii encrai Walker, acting Secretary of the Hoard of Visitors, sent mo the following paper: tKxtraet/rtm the Mniiit.sn/ th? Hoard t^f I'M tor* 8, f. M. A,) August I, is5S.r>. The resignation of Col. J. P. Thomas as Superintendent of thc Academy was received and accepted by (he Hoard, to lake effect October 1, 188?, and the following resolutions were adopted: "Resolved, That Hie Hoard of Vis itors in accepting the resignation of Col. J. P. Thomas, Superintendent South Carolina Military Academy, de sires to express its sonso Of th? /eal and earnestness with which he has dis charged thc dillies of his ollicc, and that in retiring from Ibo Institution he earlies with him tho best wishes of the Ronni for his future welfare'.' August 6, 1885. On motion, the action of the Hoard relative to Colonel Thomas's resignation nt the meeting August 1 was reconsidered and the following substituted therefor: "Resignation ol'Colonel Thomas was submitted. Resolved,\. That Colonel Thomas's resignation as Superintendent bc ac? ccpted (0 take offect to day. 2. That tho senior ollicer present for duly is placed in command and will discharge ibo duties of Superin tendent until further orders." My refusal to revoke his appoint ment, and to reduce (Jade! Sergeant Schirmet' to the ranks, explains the chance of action by thc Hoard towards inc. My resignation was based upon the failure of the Executive Committee of the Hoard to sustain discipline on Hie occasion of two serious violations of the special law of thc Academy, form ally and regularly reported by the Superintendent and ignored hy thc Executive Committee of thc Hoard. As to thc circumstances under which my resignation of July 6 was tinnily accepted, I am content to leave tho matter al Issue with the tribunal before which, with as little comment ns I could afford, i have placed it. Until dissatisfaction of cadets with tho promotion of Cadet Solnrmcr met encouragement from those in authori ty, my work in establishing the South Carolina Military Academy upon a sound basis and nutting it upon a suc cessful career hod not been questioned. If I havo retired from my post, after arduous service, without tito com mendation of tho Roard o'' Visitors, I can nt least hope for th i higher To ward, the approval of tho pcoplo of tho State, for whom in this work 1 havo labored.

Tho Baltimore Manufacturer** lie :ord published laut week nearly tlvo pages of special reports covering the whole Somit from Virginian to Texas mowing that tho prospects for the crops amt tho outlook for business in this section aro remarkably good. Not only is the acreage of tho cotton, corn and tobacco crops the largest on record but tho reports are almost unan imous in slating that the yield of these crops as well as of tho smaller crops, excepting wheat, will greatly exceed tlie best crops ever beforo produced, lt is nlso shown that tito crops have been made at a much lower cost Hum in any preceding year and that tho liens on Hie crops for money advanced to the tanners in much less than here tofore. Tlie official reporta from South Car olina show that while tIiis ??ate will produce about four million bushels more of corn ami probably over three hundred thousand bales more than last year, thc aggregate amount of agricul tural liens given to obtain advances upon tho growing crops is $3,000,000 less than lu 1882, notwithstanding thc fact that the intervening yenrs 188:1 and 1881 wero unfavorable crop years. in Georgia tho agricultural depart ment estimates thc corn crop al 10, 000,000 bushels against 31,000,000 bushels last year, and 24,000,000 bush els in 1883. Thc reports regarding tlie corn crop from the whole South arc ol' the most flattering character, some .staling that tlie yield will be Hie best for years, others the best for twenty years, and many thc best ever known. lt ls thought by the United Slates commissioner of agriculture that the increased acreage in corn over last year, and thc splendid yield which is now assured, will give the South not mm bless limn ?0,000,000 bushels of corn more than last year. The cotton crop, it is believed, is safe lor much Hie largest ever made, and for at least from 1,000,000 to 1, .000,000 bales more than last year. Ol'tobacco, fruits and vegetables thc crops are the largest ever made in tlie South, while lice promises a splendid yield and sugar is far moro satis faetorv and profitable a crop than in 1881. " Stimulated by thc unprecedented crops, business is already showing a decided improvement, and- {.'IC pros pects IhroughouHJie South for the fal', and Willtcj: ?fade are reported as un usual/r good, in tho organization of railroad and manufacturing enter prises there is great activity, and the outlook for the I h?ltst ri I interests is partie ti la ri y promising.

A ci Mi-hi mili special lays: Thc Ohio Democratic Slate Convention, which i is to bo bold nt Columbus on tho 10th and 20lh inst-, is exciting no small i dc"--">o ot interest, and a task pf some I difficulty will bo is its hands. It is i not a foregone conclusion that Gov? crnor Homily will again bend thc ticket. Judge Homily ls an ablo mun but bc is woefully lucking in political i balance and his conduct of his cam paign two years ?go was full of mis- ; takes. Ho is too impulsive to make a shrewd and calculating politician, and too erratic and full of moods to meet thc publicy day alter day and forever bcguilo it into his way of thinking and lead it to his support at tho polls. Whatever Ito for the moment thinks, thal to bim is revealed gospel, and his iirst impulse is to enunciate il from thc platform oil which ho may happen to bc placed. It conics on good inside authority that a deep feeling against ids rc-nominnliou exists in Clnciii niiti, his Inline, and that serious oppo sition from that quarter may yet arise. Judge Hoad ly was never popular with the Democratic masses of Cincinnati, and his ways were not their ways, and he never paid much attention to local allah's or local leaders until he came up as candidate for nomination tor Governor. There never was any loy alty for him in Hamilton comity. Fx-Mayor Means, of Cincinnati, ls said to desire the position of Lieutenant Governor, and to that cud favors tho nomination Ol'80IIIO mail for the head id' tim tickeut from thc central or northern part of thc State, lt is not, therefore, settled thal I loudly will be renominated, audit isahogethor more than likely that any decided show of opposition may drive him from Ibo ficht altogether. Little is said about minor places oil thc ticket or touching thc platform. Thc hiller will, ol'course declare for tl liquor license law, as it has done for several years in tho pas!. Thc great contest this year is, in fact, over tho Legislature, no matter how much each side may try to cover thc QUCStioll up and koop the United States bonntorshlp in tho background, lt will not slav lhere, but reveals Itself at almost every turn and corner of thc debute. . ..?- .

Aller thc Governor had concluded his speech, on motion of the Hamilton county contingent which had objected to hi- nomi mit kui, three cheers were given. The ticket was completed by the nomination of Peter Brady for Treas urer, James Lawrence for Attorney General, Gibson Atherton for short term Supreme Judge, Chas. 1).

The platform congratulates tho coun try upon the election of Clevelund und Hendricks, and the auspicious begin ning of their administration; upon tho determination of tho President to con fine thc usc of publia lands to public purposes.
