TIIE COLORED CADET.
From the .V. V. Tribune.
The colored cadet ia accnsod of lying, and
was to be tried upon the charge yeBterdty.
There oppears a strong likelihood that some
one of the cadets lied in connection with the
affair which led to the trial. We have not
yet so far lost faith in human nature as to
believe that Cadet Smith in to be degraded
from his pjsition by a general conspiracy,
involving so many officers and men as must
be fully cognizant of the facts in this unhappy
case Mich a conspiracy as wonld be neces
sary to convict under specifications like those
which have been adduced. The verdict of
the court will be awaited with interest; and it
will certainly be rendered with a fall con
sciousness that it will be subject to a subse
quent severe official and unofficial review,
l'robably few boys could be found who would
be able to sustain so long as Smith has done
the terrible orSeal of isolation and insults
which has befallen him; and it is to his
credit that he still presents a manly front.
Vest Point is thickly incrusted with conceit
and affectation, and assumes an air of in
difference to public opinion which it is far
from actually feeling. The voice of the
cress is heard no less distinctly there than
elsewhere. We believe, therefore, that ex
traordinary pains have been taken to secure
to SmRh the most ample official considera-
tion, even from those known to revile him
privately on account of his color. It is to
be remembered, too, that those now in the
classes at the academy have been appointed
chiefly by radical Congressmen, and may be
assumed to sympathize in general with the
tendency to break down all barriers in the
way of the advancement of colored
men. Under these circumstances, it might
well have been hoped that Smith would
make his way at the Academy, even while a
considerable portion of the cadets sneered at
his oolor; for if the discipline at the academy
is harassing in some respects, it is also largely
protective of juniors; and the severity of dis
cipline has been, in reality, Smith's safe
guard. It is not so surprising, therefore,
that he is found to be advanoed to the mid
dle of his class, or that he retains excellent
health and spirits; and it would not be sur
prising, all the circumstances of his notoriety
being considered, if he had sometimes be
come insolent and troublesome, among his
fellows, and been made to feel a little of the
wholesome curbing of the play-grftund. We
expect to see in a lew years numerous negro
officers of the regular army, even though
Cadet Smith should fail to become one of
them.
FUNDING TIIE DEBT.
'From the N. T. Times.
The Senate has passed a bill changing the
terms 01 me lunaing act, by autnonzing aa
increase of the issue of five per cent, bonds
.from two to five hundred millions. The
measure was introduced at the instance of
the Secretary of the Treasury, who clings to
the belief that it is possible even now to
fund the publio debt at a rate lower than
the present. We take the change proposed
r ' 1 j j r t m
as a coniession 01 inaoiiiiy to noac lour or
four and a half per cent, bonds. But is there
any valid reason for believing that a rive
per cent, security will find a market, to any
considerable extent, in this country or in
Europe ?
The Franco-German war was referred to
by the Secretary, in his report, as the source
of last year's obstacles to the funding scheme
in Europe. Undoubtedly it engendered some
difficulties and aggravated others, but it bv
no means explains the fact of failure. We
never regarded success as among the imme
diate probabilities. Accepting the war, ho w
ever, as a source of hindrance whose seri
ousness the Secretary admits, what likeli
hood is there of improvement for some time
to come? Whether the conflict between
France and Germany terminate soon or late,
it Is evident that neither of those countries
will for some years be in a position to
abBorb more foreign securities. Their finan
cial condition will be bad in the case of
France it will be deplorable; and the
capitalists of both will have at home
.triple scope for the use of all the means at
their command at rates above that fixed as
the maximnm for the funding of our bonde.
In England their chance will not be much
better. . The London Economist reoently
Bhowed that the greater part of the colonial
and foreign stocks and bonds owned in Great
Britain yield six or seven per cent.; and the
cm rent prices of most of them are fatal to
the expectation that a five per cent. United
States bond can be sold there at par. Be
sides, it is reasonably certain that the finan
cial exigencies of England, consequent upon
the military and naval plans of its govern
ment, and the distrust growing out of wide
spread international complications, will still
further diminish the marketability of a five
per cent. American bond.
Is the prospect any better in this country?
Is it supposed that a large amount of five per
cents, can now be disposed of in Wall street,
or that investors, large or small, in other
parts of the country will be content with that
rate of interest? We know that, practically,
money in the Atlantic and Middle States is
worth seventeen per cent., and that in the
West and South there is no difficulty in- ob
taining good security at twelve to eighteen
per cent. Look at the bonds now being
placed upon the Eastern markets. The ma
jority are seven per cent, in gold, or eight
per cent, in currency; one, presented under
very strong auspices, yields 7 "M per cent, in
coin. . The idea that, with money at its pre
sent value, a five per cent, security will be
sought with the avidity which the Secretary
anticipates, seems to us delusive.
This is, in truth, confessed when the pro
moters of funding propose to make the ac
ceptance of the bonds by banks and other
moneyed institutions compulsory. One argu
ment which we have seen in print suggests
not only that the national banks shall be
compelled to take these bonds, in considera
tion of the removal of the tax on circulation,
but that savings banks and other institutions
of a kindred character shall also be re
quired to invest their surplus funds in them.
Such an interference with the most popular
of provident institutions is utterly inexcu
sable; and the mere suggestion of it reveals
the weakness of any plan of funding at the
rates contemplated.
TIIE GEA11Y ItEVOLT.
From the N. Y. World.
If there be any sensibility or apprehension
of danger, distant or remote, ia the L.xecu
tive coterie at Washington, it surely must
have been stirred by the unexpected revolt
in Pennsylvania. Governor Geary's message
about 1 ederal interference at State elections
is a bolt from a part of the firmament which
was thought to be very sunsniny. i or our
Governor's jnnt indignation at the nearly
consummate outrage here the Federal Execu
tive and his little court were no doubt pre
pared, and had for the sting which it gave
all manner ot pleasant appliances and party
poultices. "New York is unfriendly, and of
course its uovernor would complain. But
Pennsylvania, loyal Pennsylvania home of
Bone ana Cameron and the onoe faithful
Forney, whoRe votes the gallant Geary mar
(hailed and led into line for Grant that it
shonld fall away, and that too at the very
crisis of fate, must be hard to bear. It is
not the envious Casca of Democracy, but the
well-beloved Brutus of military and radieal
companionship, who now brandishes the
steel. Seriously speakiDg, it is a very im
portant development.
We have never been, as our columns abun
dantly attest, admirers of the gentleman who
for the last few years has discharged execu
tive functions in our sister State. There are
traits of character and have been acts in hts
military and civil career which command no
sympathy or approval on our part, and, so
far as we meddled with it, we have never
hesitated to say so. We are quite aware of
the force or the weakness of the sneer with
which radicalism will, greet any apparent
change of tone. But neither sneer nor any
thing more serious will deter us from praise,
if we cared in this instance to go out of our
way to bestow it; certainly not from empha
sizing a marked political incident, which this
unquestionably is. Relatively to what was
attempted and done here, the Federal intru
sion into Pennsylvania amounted to nothing.
It was altogether tentative. It was putting
out the band, with a sword in it too, to see
how far the arm might be stretched and the
weapon pushed. There was a new circuit
judge on hand, freshly appointed to do dirty
work; but he was not our Woodruil nor
pressed by Woodruff's necessities. The
District Judge, a thorough lawyer and
Democrat, looked on coldly. The District-
Attorney actually refused to have anything
to do with it. Judge McKennon did all that
was needed, and Forney's marines marched
back again. All this, however, contemptible
as it seems now, was initiate, and so Gov
ernor Geary seems to regard it. He looks
at it earnestly, he speaks of it
solemnly; and. although three months have
passed since the deed of wrong was at
tempted, he speaks of it with all the gravity
and emphasis which an act of yesterday
might provoke. He denounces it, its author,
aiders, and abettors President, Attorney
General, officious soldiers and calls to it as
their act, for which they are responsible, the
attention not only of the General Assembly
but of Congress. "It merits," says Gov
ernor Geary, "your prompt consideration
and decisive action." What Congress can do
to arrest and punish a forced construction of
one of its statutes and an outrage on a State
is not very clear, unless, absil omen, another
impeachment is suggested; but the appeal to
the State Legislature is much more intelli
gible and practical. It is, if we mistake not,
a General Assembly of balanced politics the
Senate Democratic, the House Republican
and hence representative of a general popu
lar sentiment; and this the Governor had ia
mind when he said what he did. The "As
sembly" can scarcely avoid taking some "de
cisive action" when thus invited. It is an
invitation to the Governor's friends; an ad
monition, in a friendly spirit, to his enemies.
Neither can well disregard it, unless he is by
Federal influence to be excommunicated; and
then he is sure of a welcome by all honest
and patriotic men of both parties. Gover
nor Geary's language is more than earnest.
It touches the edge of severe satire, and its
force is duly estimated; for, oddly enough,
our neighbor of the Tribune shows his appre
ciation of the force of words by italicizing
one phrase. We quote from Geary apud
Greeley on Thursday, the italics, we repeat,
being the Tribune's:
"With a good President," says Governor
Geary, "the exercise of this power might
have no injurious results, but in the hands of
a bad man it might prove exceedingly calami
tous. Unconsciously a good President might
be induced to employ it tcrongfuUy; a bad one
would be almost certain to use it to his own
advantage."
There is something exquisite in this attratv
tive suopestion, and the Tribune adds to its
felicity and force by ostentatiously making a
choice, and by italics proclaiming that our
President is a good one, doing wrong and not
knowine that he does it. Our inclination, we
confess, is to the other proposition. We may
be permitted to observe, in conclusion, that
desnerate indeed must be the outlook of the
Grant administration when protective Penn
sylvania thus defies him. He had better,
before it is too late, become a revenue re
former. '
