THE DAILY KVENINU LIXJKAPII PHILADELPHIA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY II, 1671. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1871. SAN DOMINGO. Eioh new phage of the San. Domingo ques tion strengthens the indications that it will beoomean exoiting, if not an absorbing,qtios tion in American politics. The House of Representatives yesterday passed the resold .tion authorizing the appointment of three commissioners to proceed to the island to inquire into its oondition, resources, eta.; but it is a Bignificant cironmstanoe that the Ambler amendment, doclftring that nothing in thia resolution was to be so construed as to commit our Government te the proposed annexation, was agreed to by a vote of IOC to 70. This minority of 76 apparently represents the strength of the out-aod-eut advocates of the Presidential policy, while many sterling Republicans, in conjunction with the Demoorats, framed the restrictive amendment, and thus plaoed the Ilouse in a non-committal position on the main question. On the resolution authoriz ing the commission, as amended, the vote was 123 yeas and 03 nays; all tho yeas being Republicans and all the nays Demoorats, ex cept half-a-dozen Republicans who carried their opposition to the Presidential policy to the extreme length of endeavoring to prevent a formal inquiry into the oondition of San Domingo. Additional interest was given to the proceedings by a piquant debate whioh arose from Butler's at tempt to crack an administration whip over the shoulders of his associates, and from his denunciation of Sumner, of whom the irre pressible Butler said that: "Since he misnamed the Morning Star, Nor man nor fiend hath fallen so far." Shortly after the passage of the resolution aa amended in the House it came np for con sideration in the Senate, when Sumner opened his batteries upon it, and, consider- ing the wofnl weakness of his attacks, we can scarcely wonder that they provoked the laughter of his Senatorial associates. Sum ner's last dodge is' to exoite the fears of the Amerioan people by declaring that the an nexation of San Domingo involves "a bloody lawsuit;" that a guerrilla warfare will be car ried on against ns by a rival govern ment in the interior, headed by a fellow who begins his proclamations with "God, country, and liberty," and that even the Haytiens propose to institute a war against oir country. If old George Kramer was in the Senate now he might well repeat to this Yankee soarecrow manufacturer his favorite question, whether the Amerioan people "were born in the woods to be soared by an owl," but the new Sumner argument socroely deserves a more serious reply. WEST POINT AND ANNAPOLIS. It is tolerably certain from reoent develop ments that the internal arrangements of the Military Academy at West Point need a more particular investigation than they receive from the annual Board of Visitors, and if the details of the management of the Naval School at Annapolis could also be looked into by some impartial persons, no harm would be done, and a great deal of good to both insti tutions might ensue. The efficiency of the army and the navy in the future largely de pends upon the proper management of these schools, whioh are heavy burdens upon the tax-payers of the country, and the publio have a right to demand that they shall bo conducted in such a manner that the beat in terests of the nation will be sub served by them. Two occur rences have taken place lately which show very plainly that there is something very rotten in the management of West Point. The case of the colored oadet Smith is a proof that there is a lack of that high toned and honorable spirit that certainly ought to be one of the leading characteristics of such an institution if it is to properly fulfil the ends of its foundation. The ap pointment of this young man, as we have said more than onee, was a great mistake; but now that he is a cadet, he is entitled to decent treatment. He has just the same rights at West .Point as the white cadets, neither more nor less; and if the proper gen tlemanly spirit prevailed among his com panions, be would at least be allowed to prosecute his studies without insult or arro ganoe. If the yonng gentlemen with white skins refused to associate with him when off duty on terms of friendly intimacy and equality, their conduct might be censurable, but Smith and his friends would have no proper grounds for complaint; but when there appears to be a systematic attempt to drive him away from the school, the friends of right and justice everywhere, whether they approve of bis appointment or not, should insist upon bis having fair play. Smith is now under, going his second court-martial, upon charges whioh are contemptibly unimportant, and it is evident that this is but the culmination of one of many attempts to drive him from the institution. If the officers composing the court before which Smith is being tried should countenance the malice of the other cadets, and expel him from the school, they will disgraoe themselves forever in the eyes of all honorable men. . The other West Point aflfair that is now at tracting attention is the disappearance of three of the oadets. It is asserted that these young men were driven from the soheol at the order of the members of the senior class, their offense being the heinous one of lying. It seems that they contrived to get intoxi cated, and made such statements to the offioerq as led them to suppose that they were In their beds at a time when they were outside of the building npon a frolic Tbia violation of a very proper code of honor incensed the members of the senior class, who, however, instead of pursuing the proper course and making a report of the matter to the autho rities, took the law into their own hands ' and passed a decree ' of ' expul sion. The unwritten law of West Point will not apparently permit one oadet to in form npon another, no matter' what his of fense mny be, but it will subject the offender to the nentenoe of an irresponsible court, instead of leaving him to be punished in a proper manner aocording to law. No one can blame the senior oadets for being in lig nant at the behavior of the three missing young men, but certainty such an institution as West Point cannot be oonducted as it should be and good discipline preserved if its pupils are permitted to take the law into their hands in this manner, and all who have been implicated in the affair should be mads to understand the duties and responsibilities of their positions better than they apparently do. ' An investigation into matters and things at the Annapolis school would probably demon strate that there is quite as much, if not more, necessity for reform than at West Point. Leaving everything else out of the question, it is undeniable that the standard of scholar ship is much higher at West Point than it is at Annapolis, and that the army officers as a rule are more highly eduoated than those of the navy. One'reason for this is that at the Annapolis school too much is attempted. For instance, a large portion of the time of the naval cadets is taken np in learning military manoeuvres that have only a remote connec tion with naval warfare. Annapolis makes a vain boast that it can equal West Point in the. exercise of the manual of arms and in regimental and battalion drill. Of course it cannot; but while the cadets are endeavoring to beoome soldiers they forget altogether that their future business will be as sailors, aid they graduate from the sohool only half taught in seamanship and other matters that peculiarly belong to their profession. These things may not be generally known, but they are true nevertheless, and they very greatly im pair the efficiency of our navy at the present time, when a large number of very young offi cers are placed in positions of trust and re sponsibility. In fact, the affairs of the two academies need a pretty thorough overhaul ing, whioh we hope sincerely they may re ceive at the hands of Congress rather than at those of the War and Navy Departments. The National House of Representatives yes terday, in spite of an unnecessarily bitter op position, passed the bill for the celebration of the centennial anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Phila delphia on the 4th of July, 1870. That this action of the House will be endorsed by the Senate there is no doubt, and the whole mat ter may therefore be considered as definitely settled. The success of the great interna tional exhibition which it is proposed to hold npon this occasion will very largely depend npon the lively interest which the citizens of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania may take in it; and although several years will elapse be fore the centennial anniversary occurs, our State Legislature and the City Councils of Philadelphia should take action with re gard to the matter as soon as possible, with the view of making the exhibition a looal as well as national sucoess.- It is sometimes charged that Philadelphia is slow and behind the age, an here is a splendid opportunity to prove the falsity of this assertion, and to domonstrate that if not so showy the enter prise of this city is of a more solid character than it is in some other plaoes, and the Phila delphia department in the great exhibition Bhonld, as it undoubtedly will, be one of its most attractive features. OBITUARY. The na. Jhn (tovode. At noon yesterday the Hon. John Covodc paid us a flying visit, stopping a few minutes in our office and gossiping on the politics of the State and country with his accustomed energy. He was, to all appearances, In the best of health, his robust physique and hearty face evincing the prospect of a long and firm hold upon life. Mr. Covode, accompanied -by his wife, had come to Philadelphia to place his younger children at school, and in the afternoon proceeded as far as Harrisburg on his return west. About one o'clock this mornlnt, accord ing to the special telegrams published else where, symptoms of heart disease were mani fested, and at four o'clock he expired. John Covode was born in Westmoreland county, in this State, on the 17th of March, 1808. He had therefore not quite completed his sixty-second year at the lime of his sudden and unexpected death. Mr. Covode was of Dutch descent. More than a hundred and thirty years ago, his grandfather, Garrett Covode, while still a mere child, was picked up in the streets of Amsterdam by an unscrupulous sea captain, by whom he was brought to Philadel phia, where he was sold into bondage. He re mained in this involuntary service until he was twenty-eight years of age, and at the time of his emancipation was unable to read a word. Subsequently he attended General Washington for several years in the capacity of a servant, and died in 1S2G, at the advanced age of ninety four. The mother of John Covode was of Quaker descent, ker ancestors having been among the early settlers of the Commonwealth who came to the banks of the Delaware with William Penn. Two of these maternal ancestors, in con Junction with a third person by the name of Wood, were the authors of a protest against William Fenn's decision in favor of human bondage, which Is said to have been the first anti-slavery document ever written on the con tinent. John Covode's opportunities for early educa tion were, unhappily, very limited. Brought up on a farm, he learned the trade of a woollen manufacturer, to which occupation he devoted about forty years of his life. But, although his education bad been so imperfect, the great energy of character for which he was always remarkable was early displayed, and he became, at the outset even of his business career, a champion of public enterprises. When tho State Canal was build ing, he was one of the first to give it hearty encouragement, and on its completion to em brace the facilities which it offered. He en gaged in the transportation business, and com manded the first eection-boat that passed through the canal from Philadelphia to the Ohio river. Again, when the Pennsylvania Railroad was contemplated, he extended to that great undertaking his time, influence, and nirniu, and was in partnerchlp with the conipnTiy in the transportation business until the road was fini.-hcJ through to Tittsbiirg. He tben organized the Wcetmotoland Coal Com pany, and commenced shipping itas coal to the KnMern market, acting ns President of the com pany until bis duties in Congress compelled his miration. His maungement of this company, which extended through several years, was com ph tt lv Mirci'Pful. In 1845 John Covode firs, entered the political arena as a candidate for office, becoming the Whig uom Ince for tho State Senate In a district strongly Democratic At his second nomination be came within so few votes of being elected that the opposing party became alarmed at his growing popularity and changed the district. Kept out of the State Seuate bv Demo cratic gerrymandering, Mr. Covode fmnlly turned his mind upon a Con grspional cnreer, and In 1851 became tho Whig candidate "for tb? Thirty-fourth Congress In what was then the Nineteenth district of this State, and was elected by a majority of 2757 votes. Two years previous, the same district bad been carried by the Democracy by a majo rity of 2009, this great political revolution being one of thn episodes of tho Know-Nothing and anti-Nebracka outbreak of 1854. Mr. Covode was re-elected to Congress three times In succession, but In 1S02 and 1SGI was not a candidate, and on both of these occa sions his district was carried by the Democracy. During his service in the Thirty-slx'h Congress, from 1859 to 1801, be was made chairman of the special committee of the Ilouse of Representa tives which was entrusted v 1th the celebrated investigation of charges against the admin' tra- sion of President Buchanan in relation to affairs in Kansas. This committee did much to show up and bring to light tho enormous frauds and corrupt practices of ccrtaiu parties at that time associated with the Government. On the outbreak of the Rebellion, Mr. Covode, still a member of Congress, became one of the first to urge bold and decisive measures in Its suppression. He had become thoroughly allied with the Republican party from its organiza tion, and to the day of his death remained a staunch adherent of that political organization. He sent three sons into the army, the youngest of whom was only fifteen years old. They joined the 4th Pennsylvania Cavalry, one of the most efficient regiments in the service. The eldest, George Covode, becatno Colonel of tho regiment, and was killed while gallantly leading hit men at St. Mary's Church, near Richmond. The youngest suffered the miseries and torments of Audersonville for a year and a half, from the effects of which he will never recover. Toe second son returned at the expiration of his term of enlistment. During the last terra of the fir? t porlod of his service In Congrcee, Mr. Covode was an active member of the Joint Commilteo on the Conduct of -th War, and after the close of the struggle be was sent South by President Johnxon'to aid the Government in working out Its reconstruc tion policy. His views, however, falling to harmonize with those of Mr. Johnson, he de clined any further connection with his policy and ud ministration. In 18M Mr. Covode, at the earnest solicitation of ending members of tho party, again became a candidate for Congress, aud again the dis trict in which he resided, now numbered the Twenty-first, and consisting of. Fayette, Indiana, and Westmoreland counties, was wrested from the Democracy. Mr. Covode was elected by 351 majority. Iu 1803 again he was a candidate, Hon. Hi-nry D. Foster being his opponent. The vote was very close, both candidates claiming a small majority. The Governor refused to give the certificate of election to either, ou account of informalities in the returns, but the House, at the opening of the Forty-first Congress, awarded the seat to Covode, without prejudice to tho claims of the contestant. The result of the contest was tho throwing out of a large number of Democratic votes n the ground of fraud, and ou February 9, 1870, Mr. Covode was awarded the Boat, by a vote of 118 to 45, after a bitter opposition from the Democratic side of the House Iu ISO!), Mr. Covode became chairman of the Republican tlate Central Committee, and in that capacity hud the general management of the Guberna torial campaign of that year, as well as of tiie con gressional campaign of 1870. Lastyear, however, he declined a reuomioatlon for Congress., and the district was again carried by the Democracy. The adage tells us that "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve It, and some have greatness thrust upon them," and of these three classes, John Covode belonged to the second, for be owed his promiueuce to his own exer tions. Descended from a peculiar and unusual cqmblnatlon of nationalities the High Dutch with the English Quaker bis character was a strange compound of both, for bo united the vim, vigor, determination, and daxh of tho former with the unwavering devotion to humani tarian principles that distinguishes the latter, and thus he became a promlneut leader, despite his deficient education, in the great now party that has domlnuted for the last ten years. The district be represented In Congress is not only often Democratic, but as it N neither Quaker, Dutch, nor German, aud as its staple clement is a hardy and keen race of Scotch-Irishmen, by the time a descendant of High Dutch aud Quaker ancestors gained sufficient influence iu such a district to be nominated and elected to Con gress, he had fathomed much more deeply than mott men the depths of American politics and the diverse influences by which voters are con trolled and governed. Soon after his appear ance in Congress Covode's mature aud sharp ened shrewdness enabled him to win oue of the greatest triumphs ever won there. Despite his inferiority as an orator or as a chairman of an ordiuary Congressional committee, he was just; the man to head such an investigation as that with which bis name will be forever iden tified in Congressional history. He had at once the nerve aud thosagacltv to spy out and to expose tho weak spots in the Buchanan administration, and to lay bare the bargains, corruptions, quarrels, and cum promltts, connected with tho Kansas-Lecomp-tou controversy. This story bad a telling effect in the campaign of 1800, and among the varied Influences that secured the election of Abraham Lincoln it was one of the west important. If Covode's political career had terminated with this famous Investigation, he would still Lave done much more than average Congressmen of a higher intellectual grade. Sub-equeut tri umphs were in store for bim, however. He lepeatedly carried tho Westmorelaud district when it would have been impossible for any other Republican to secure a majority of its votes; and at Washington be was honored by various hlithly responsible positions, like that of a membership ou the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War.as well as a roving commis sion to examine the condition of the Southern States with reference to reconstruction. Covode's Views on all such subjects, a well as on many other topics of national Importance, wore always well worthy of attention. His remirks might not be couched in the best English, aud his views might not always be broad and comprehensive, but he was full of points; be knew what was going on; he abounded in the be6t of all sense, common eeusc ; end if he did not stud bis brain over much with the contents of the Cougressional library, "men were his books, which he read currently." One of his latest triumphs was the election of Geary as Governor of Pennsylvania. Covode was chosen as chairman of the Republi can State Central Committee in 1BG9, in what was acknowledged to bo a desperate contest, and Geary's success Is largely, If not wholly, due to Covode's skilful manage ment. A less ardent politician in the same position would have totally destroyed Geary's chance of election, and It is" not too much to say that if Asa Packer bad had a Covode Instead of a Mutcbier at bis buck, and John W. Geary bad had a Mutcbier Instead of a Covode to raise bis waning popularity, Asa Packer would to-day tie Governor of this Commonwealth. It has been generally conceded that Mr. Covode's chances for tho Gubernatorial nomination at tho end of Geary's term were very good, and constantly brightening.
