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.
