After 1 loop, tedious and searching ex
amination in the case of Whittaker, the
colored West Point cadet, whose alleged
mutilation by his brother cadets has been
the exciting subject of comment, the court
martiai hare reached a conclusion and
embodied it in their verdict, that the negro
cadet was the author of his own 111 treat
ment, and be is now under arrest and con
fined to his quarters.
The editor of the Richmond Commonwealth
and another citizen of the State have been
arrested on a charge of beiog about to com
mit a breach of the peace. The gravamen
of the charge consisted in the posting of
placards by the latter about the streets of
Richmond denouncing the editor, which it
was thought would lead to a personal ren
contre. Both were admitted to bail to an
swer before the Police Court to-day.

The New York stock market showed a
decline in prices on general business Satur
day, with large speculative transactions, the
aggregate sales reaching 270,000 shares,
while in London the market was steady and
generally strong, with the exception of
American railways, which, owing to the
Reading Railroad failure, was weak and de
pressed.
The sentences of all the Nihilists recently
couvicted in St. Petersburg have been com

Trostchuteky to ten years labor in a fortress,
and the sentences of the others have been
greatly reduced.
Another—the fourth—boat of the foun

The first move on the political chessboard
at Chicago has been made by the anti-Grant
members of the Republican National Com
mittee. Sixteen such members decided that
on the assembling of the committee to-day
they would have a rule adopted that in
the preliminary organization of the con
vention all questions would be decided
by individual roll call, and that con
tested delegations should be excluded.
8ixteen other members of the committee
concur in the resolution. The Chairman of
the committee has been notified of the action,
and should he not give the fullest assurance
that the instructions of the committee will
be carried out, action would be taken for
bis removal from the chairmanship.

Failed.—The much-talked-of hill to
prevent the railroads of New York from
making discriminations in freights was
finally permitted to die from neglect in

thing now stands as if there had been no
agitation whatsoever on the subject.

Exit Whittaker.
In our.telegraphic columns this morn
ing will be found the report of the court
of inquiry into the alleged Whittaker
outrage at West Point, which, when
committed, threatened to shake the
Nation—i. e. the Radical party—from
centre to circumference; which for
brief period furnished the bloody shirt
press with ample opportunities for in
dulging in their favorite occupation of
villifying the South and groaning
over the unhappy lot of the
‘‘poor African,” and which was even re
garded as of sufficient importance to
justify the attention of the United States
CoBgress. The verdict has at last been
rendered, and now the Radical outrage
shriekers arc mourning over their utter
discomfiture, for it is officially pro
nounced that every particle of testimony
elicited goes to prove that the alleged
outrage was no outrage at all
that Whittaker himself wreaked all
the cruelty charged on himself, and
that the “imputation upon the
character of Cadet Whittaker referred
to in the order convening the court, the
official report of the commandant of
cadets and post surgeon, is fully con
firmed." In consequence of all this,
Whittaker finds himself in a position of
disgraoe and dishonor. He has already
been ordered into close arrest in his
quarters, and there he is to remain
confined under the surveillance
guard, until his case is final
ly disposed of. The result doubtless
will be that he will be court martialed
found guilty of a base attempt to get up
sympathy for himself by false accusa
tions of the white cadets at the National
Military Academy, and summarily dis
missed from the institution. No doubt,
in a very short time, he wdl pass into
merited oblivion, and be heard of no
more.
That this Whittaker outrage scheme
was premeditated and arranged to be
carried into effect just long enough
before the assembling of the National
Radical Convention to furnish political
capital, and to serve as a champion
bloody shirt outrage for use dur
ing the coming campaign, there
is no ground for doubt. That
it was concocted by some other
mind than that of Whittaker, and that
the colored cadet was simply "put up
to it,” is equally manifest. The
foolish, blundering manner in which
Whittaker performed his role; the feeble
attempt to sham unconsciousness; the
very slight cuts in his ears; the bungling
way in which he tied himself to his bed
stead, and the stupid blunder of writing
a note of warning to himself, in
poorly disguised hand, on part
the same sheet of paper on which he had
begun a letter to his mother, all go to
prove that Whittaker has not the ca
parity to originate such a scheme,
and that it was evidently concocted and
planned by some such an inventive
genius as the one who first thought of
and carried out—more successfully than
on this occasion—the Eliza Pinckston
outrage. Whether the real genius of the
Whittaker plot will ever be known
or not is questionable. If he
should be such an one as the author of
the Eliza Pinckston fable, his name will
probably never be known, for, in the
first place, he would be willing to buy
Whittaker’s silence at a good price, and
in the second place, with his present
reputation, no statement Whittaker could
make would be generally credited
As we remarked in a previous article,
however, this Whittaker fiasco should
surely hereafter seriously impair the
value of Southern outrages on the poor
black as a political factor. Indeed, the
disastrous failure to make of this af
fair “a good enough Morgan till
after the election" will cause the mass of
the fair minded Northern people to hesi
tatc long before they give credence to
similar stories in the future. At any
rate, we may be assured of one thing—
if the Southern outrage business is not
completely destroyed through Whitta
ker's bungling, the Radical leaders will
have to sec to it that the mills are placed
under the skilled management of some
such man as John Sherman if they are
ever again to be made usefuL

The Afghan Policy of the New
English Ministry.—The Ameership of
Afghanistan has finally been tendered by
the British Government unconditionally
to Abdulrahman Khan. This may ap
pear strange in view of the fact that Ab
dulrahman Khan is still in the field
against the English forces, and that it
was he who, when the Afghans were
crushed and completely in the power of
England, relighted the opposition and
renewed the war by invading the coun
try at the head of an army of Turcomans.
The present Ministry of England are dis
posed, however, to have peace at any
price in Afghanistan, and see that Ab
dulrahman is the only man they can
safely place on the throne. He is the
only one who commands respect in that
country and who can keep the turbulent
Afghans quiet; and moreover, according
to Mahometan law, he is the true heir to
the throne. England had to choose be
tween a weak boy, who would have
promised much but been able to accom
plish nothing, and Abdulrahman Khan,
who promises nothing, but who will at
least keep Afghanistan quiet.
Schurz is said to be more bitter against
Grant than ever. When questioned, the
other day, on the feeling entertained by
the administrktion toward the ex-Presi-
dent, he declared his belief that Hayes
was friendly and more than friendly to
wards Ulysses, and that he would work
more heartily for him, if he were nomi
nated, than for Sherman, if he wire in
the field. It is said that if Grant is
nominated Schurz will resign his seat in
the Cabinet to take the stump against
him. On the other hand, it is said that
the Grant men will call on Hayes to
bounce Schurz in the event of Grant's
nomination on Iho ground that the con
tinuance in the Cabinet of a man known
to be bitterly hostile to the Republican
candidate for the Presidency would be
prejudicial and injurious to the Repub
lican cause.
General Walthall, of Mississippi, who
was recently a candidate for the United
States Senate, was in Washington on
Friday. Ue says that the majority of
the Mississippi delegation to Cincinnati
will vote for Senator Bayard on the first
ballot. There is a favorable sentiment
in the State for Hancock, but Bayard is
the greatest favorite. Not more than
five of the Mississippi delegates will vote
for Mr. Tilden at any time.
It is stated by a gentleman who re
cently made a social call at the White
House that President Hayes persists in
the opinion that the ex-President will
not be nominated at Chicago.
The Greenback heresy, as it is termed,
has collapsed in its great stronghold,
Ohio. The District Greenback Conven
tion. held in Columbus on Wednesday,
could only muster nine persons in re
sponse to a call for the nomination of
delegates to the Chicago National Green
back Convention. Bad for Butler.
The ringleaders of ltadicalism of all
grades and complexions are gathered in
Chicago, and it looks as if they were
going to have just such a time as the
parrot and the monkey had before they
get through.
John Sherman's Chances at Chicago. J
The Washington Star (Independent I
Republican) sayB: "The personal friends
of Secretary Sherman represent that he
is ‘hopeful, not to say confident,’ of the
nomination at Chicago, and he is not a
man whose political judgment is usually
blinded by his desires. The contest for
the nomination will be between Grant
and Blaine in the opening ballots, and
should neither of them win then nothing
is more likely than that Sherman will
get it. None of the pronounced Blaine
men will vote for Grant, nor will any of
the out and out Grant delegates support
the Senator from Maine. The fight be
tween the friends of these two leading
candidates has grown too bitter for any
trnce or compromise to be patched up
between them. Next to the nomination
of their favorite, the Grant men cherish
the idea of killing off Blaine, and the
Blaine men are not less vindictive to
wards the ex President But neither
faction seems to have ground for any
unfriendly feeling towards Secretary
Sherman. He has not antagonized any
other candidate, and in the event that
neither Grant nor Blaine has votes enough
to get the nomination Sherman i9 as
likely to be the next choice of their
friends as any other man. ’’
Sherman’9 friends have shown their
shrewdness, as well as good common
sense, by basing his claims to the nomi
nation on his own merits instead of at
tacking his most prominent opponents.
By attacking Grant and revamping and
endorsing all the slanderous charges
against him they would not thereby have
proved Sherman's fitness and claims for
the position, while they would have
alienated the friends of Grant and
forced them to give their support to
some other aspirant in case they wqre
unable to secure the nomination ot Grant.
In point of tactics and management, the
Sherman ring have certainly outmana-u
vred the Blaine managers. It is not, how
ever, the first nor the only instance in
which would be political managers have
allowed their partizan zeal to overleap
their discretion.
The Grant Game at Chicago.
It is generally understood that the
Grant programme for the capture of the
temporary organization of the Chicago
Convention is based upon the action of
Senator Cameron, Chairman of the Na
tional Committee, whose duty it is to
call the convention to order and to pre
side until a temporary Chairman
chosen. It is stated, probably with
truth, that when the nomination of an
anti-Grant man for temporary Chairman
is antagonized by a motion to substitute
the name of a partisan of the ex Presi
dent, Cameron will declare the unit rule
in binding force, which decision will
silence the anti-Grant minorities
from New York and Pennsylvania.
In anticipation of such action by
the Pennsylvania Senator, his record has
been searched with the result of finding
that he was a member of the National
Convention of 1S(13; that the Pennsylva
uia delegation was then under instruc
tions to support Andrew G. Curtin for
Vice President, and that he (Cameron)
refused to be bound by the instructions,
and, with twelve other delegates, voted
against Curtin, and thus compelled the
withdrawal of his name. The revival of
this incident in Cameron's record is only
material in that it furnishes another proof
of the unscrupulousness of the average
Republican politician. Cameron will
sustain the unit rule at Chicago this week
with the same vigor with which he repu
diated it in 1868. Republican ideas of
right and wrong change with the party's
exigencies.
Growth of the Trade of England.
The English Board of Trade returns
for April show a remarkable advance in
the commerce and industry of Great
Britain. The imports for the mouth
show an increase of 201 per cent, and
22 per cent, for the four months of the
year over the returns for the same pe
riods of 1879. The exports show an in
crease of 34 per cent, for the month, and
24i per cent, for the four months. The
most favorable part of the returns is that
which indicates the large increase in the
quantity and value of the importations
of raw materials required for man
ufacture, by which Great Britain
earns the larger part of her wealth.
The net increase in the value of these
articles imported during April is £2,653,-
500, equal to 221 per cent. The increase
in cotton was £798,400; in wool, £1,265,
000; in wood, £300,000; in iron ore and
raw hides, each about £190.000. These
things indicate a material recovery in
the great leading manufactures from the
extreme depression which overwhelmed
them last year. The imports of tobacco,
manufactured and unmanufactured,
have increased also, showing that the
consumer classes are better off. This is
corroborated by the increase in the im
ports of sugar, live stock, breadstuffs
and other food products other and above
the limits of necessary consumption.

Our thanks are due to the “Society of
Decorative Art of the City of New York”
for a copy of its third annual report.
"The aim of the society,” as stated in
the rejx rt, "is to extend, in ever}' prac
ticable way, art education as adapted to
ar! industries, to execute orders from
appropriate and original designs, and to
assist as large a number of industrial art
workers as possible, through the medium
of its sales rooms, cud various depart
ments.
The sales rooms of the society were
opened on the 1st of October, 1877, with
less than 200 contributors, increased at
the closeof 1379 to 1,845, to whom, after
deducting the regular per centage (10 per
cent) due to the society, $31,664 32 had
been paid.
The object of the society, as explained,
is philanthropic, as well as artistic, and
opens a quiet, delicate method to those
who are skilled in decorative arts, of
disposing to the best advantage—in the
market of New York—the results of
their taste and industry.
Among the receipts for sale arc appro
priately decorated artiebs of household
or personal use, needle work, embroide
ries, drawings and sketches in crayon,
pen and ink, oil or water colors, for
decorations to some useful articles, origi
nal pictures ranking ns works of art,
etc., etc., too numerous to mention here.
Wax flowers and fruits are not received,
as also many similar ornaments.
The high social standing, cultivation
and refinement of the ladies who pro
jected and have this society in charge
(many of whom are personally known to
us) are sufficient guarantees of its
character and credit. On their ac
count, and for the great advan
tages held out to the cultivators of
decorative art in the South, many of
whom, ruined in fortune by the civil
war, may find in the society a ready
way of turning to pecuniary profit the
accomplishments cultivated formerly as
amateurs, we give it this extended no
tice.
Most of us know New York only as
the great centre of wealth in this coun
try, and as we see it represented in Wall
street, Broadway, Fifth avenue, Madi
son square, and in its splendid theatres
and grand public buildings. But few
know its many, various, and magnifi
cent charities, public and private, in
which it is second to no city in the world,
proportionately to its population and
wealth, and of which this “Decorative
Art Society" is one of the most refined
and sensitive.
Persons desiring further information
of the plans and workings of the Deco
rative Art Society, should address its

During the late Zulu war the news
papers indicated the number cf dead sav
ages the English left on every battlefield.
There wer? 10,000 sldto left on one field,
30,000 at Isandula. and so on until the
number of slain greatly exceeded the
whole Zulu race, women and children
Included. The war between the United
States and Victoria's band of Apaches in
New Mexico appears to be a very similar
affair. The total number of Indians in
Victoria’s band was reported, nine
months ago, as only 175. Since that
time the wily Apache chief has met our
forces on more than forty fields, in all
of which, according to army reports, he
was badly defeated, losing an average of
fifty warriors in each fight. The New
Orleans Democrat thinks it would be
nice little problem for the boys in our
public schools to find how many follow
ers remain with him after his defeat by
Gen. Hatch theotljer day, of which the
telegraph gives a report.
There is nothing very remarkable in
this sort of exaggeration in the reports
of killed and wounded in Indian fight
ing. It will be remembered that the
Seminole war, which broke out in 1835,
lasted some seven years. At the com
mencement of hostilities it was estimated
upon reliable data that the fighting men
of the nation numbered only about
fifteen hundred, which force was
strengthened during the war by one or
two hundred Creeks. During the
various campaigns again9t the
Seminoles, under Scott, Gaines
Clinch, Eustace and several other
distinguished Generals, the reports of
killed amounted to more than double
the entire number of the warriors of the
nation. And yet, at the close of the
war, several hundred were transported
to Texas, while a considerable number,
under Billy Bowlegs, were left, and to
this day are to be found in the Ever
glades, never having surrendered to the
United States. This remarkable cir
cumstance can only be explained on the
hypothesis that there was exageration
in the military reports, or that, like cats,
savages are endowed with nine lives.
Another Rebellion.—The National
Republican League of Philadelphia has
selected a delegation to visit Chicago to
protest against the nomination of Gen.
Grant. They have also unanimously
passed a resolution to the effect that
“the National Republican League of
Philadelphia, in sending delegates
to Chicago, instructsthem to declare
that the members of the League will
not vote, under any circumstances,
for General Grant, but will support
any other nominee of the convention
No. 34 East 19th street, New Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, Mr. Simon
Cameron's son-in-law, is one of the dele
gates.
“In the organization of the Chicago
Convention,” says the Tribune (Blaine
Rep ), “the framing of its rules and the
disposition of contests, the thiTd-lermers
will exercise no power at all—the tempo
rary chairman will be selected by the
National Committee, a majority of whose
members are opposed to Grant. The
Committees oq Permanent Organization,
Rules and Credentials will be made up
by the several State and Territorial dele
gations, each naming one member. The
anti-Grant men have a majority in thirty-
one of these delegations, while the Grant
men have only ten, the remaining six
being equally divided. Controlling, as
they inevitably will, the action of these
committees, the anti-Grant men will pro
vide the convention with a permanent
chairman, report a rule giving to each
delegate the right to his individual vote,
and determine the Illinois contests in
favor of the delegates representing the
people. Thus, on every important ques
tion the Grant men will have the organi
zation opposed to them, and will be
forced to make a fight against the reports
of tlia. regular committees. These are
stubborn facts, which are not to be got
rid of by loud boasting of ficlilioui
strength. ”
Politicians have been guessing at the
Cabinet of General Grant if he is elected,
and the following is about the average
Secretary of State, Hamilton Fish; Sec
retary of the Treasury, Senator Don
Cameron; Secretary of the Interior, ex
Secretary Boutwell; Secretary of the
Navy, ex Senator Sargent; Secretary of
\Y’.-tr,Senator Logan; Postmaster General,
Senator Bruce; Attorney General, Sena
tor Carpenter.
The New Y'ork Herald, assuming to
follow public opinion, has lately advo
cated Grant's nomination and predicted
his election if nominated. The Albany
Argus asserts that really the IDrald
knows nothing of public opinion, and
proves it as follows:
The nerald predicted Mr. Buchanan
would carry New Y'ork in 1856. Gen
eral Fremont carried it by 80,000 ma
jority.
The Herald predicted the Democratic
electoral ticket would carry New Y'ork
in 1860. Mr. Lincoln carried it by 50,000
majority.
The Herald predicted General McClel
lan would carry New Y'ork in 1804. Mr.
Lincoln carried it by 7,000 majority.
The Herald predicted that General
Grant would carry New Y'ork in 1868
Governor Seymour carried it by 10,000
majority.
The Herald predicted Mr. Greeley
would carry New York in 1872. General
Grant carried it by 52.000 majority.
The Herald predicted that 51 r. Hayes
would carry New Y'ork in 1876. Mr.
Tilden carried it by 32,000 majority.
Into ail these errors the Herald fell,
because it “hollered with the loudest.”
A prediction of success by the New
Y’ork Herald has come to be regarded as
ominous of defeat.
Increase of Internal Revenue Re
ceipts.—A statement prepared by the
Internal Revenue Bureau shows an in
crease for the month of April from the
general sources of internal revenue over
the same month of last year of $2,860,-
884. For the first ten months of the
present fiscal year oyer the correspond
ing period of the last fiscal year the in
crease is $11,603,471. The increase of
receipts from tobacco for April last over
the same month of last year was $1,586,-
063. This increase is explained by the
fact that during April, |879, scarcely
any tobacco was withdrawn from ware
house, all dealers waiting for the reduc
tion of tax, which want into effect May
1st, 1879. For the current month the
receipts from tobacco will probably fall
off nearly $2,000,000.
While Congress was Republican in
both branches, the electoral votes were
counted under a rule giving either branch
the power of rejecting the vote of any
State. On the Democrats capturing the
House, the Republicans repealed this
rule, and thus paved the way for the
infamous electoral commission. Now,
the Democrats propose the adoption of
a rule under which the vote of a State
can only be rejected by the concurrent
action of both Houses, and the Republi
cans oppose it. They have been clamor
ing for months over the failure of Con
gress to provide some new method of
counting the votes, but when the Demo
crats propose a rule that is eminently
fair, they oppose it, YY'hat they actually
desire, is doubtless some rule that shall
leave the counting power entirely in the
hands of the fraudulent Vice President,
who has been, and is still, in quiet tram
ing for the task of usurping the functions
of Congress in this matter.
The Unfinished Monitors. — The
attempt which has been made to socure
an appropriation for the completion of
the iron clad monitors Amphitrite, Ter
ror, Puritan and Monadnock, failed in
the House Thursday. Mr. Harris, from
the Committee on Naval Affairs, moved
as an amendment to the sundry civil bill,
that $4,097,000 be appropriated to com
plete these monitors. On a point of
order, made by Mr. Blount, the Chair
man of the Committee of the YVhole,
ruled the amendment out of order. Ad
miral Whitthorne, Chairman of the
Naval Affairs Committee, was opposed
to the completion of the monitors by
private contract. He desired the unfin
ished vessels to be taken to tbo navy
yards to be completed at the leisure of
the government.
Tilden got a black eye in Missouri.
His friends claimed, with the greatest
assumption of confidence, that that
State was overwhelmingly for him, and
that the convention would instruct in his
favor. The organization of the conven
tion was, however, »nti-Tilden; the dele
gation to the Cincinnati convention does
not contain, at the outside, more than
nine friends of his out of thirty, and a
resolution to instruct for him was killed
in the committee on resolutions by an
almost unanimous vote.
All the Democratic State conventions
yet held have opposed the rescinding of
the two-thirds rule. New Jersey and
Virginia instructed in favor of its main
tenance.
The New Haven Register prints the
statement that the divorces in that State
amount to one for every eight marriages.
Upon which the Philadelphia Record ex
claims; “This is a fearful exhibit!" The
reaction from the Puritanism of the past
to the Pagan license of the present must
have reached Its culminating point in the
land of steady habits. From this time
forward we shall look for “more cleanly
statistics.”
South Carolina’s Next Governor.

ceptional in its strength, is not strong
enough to hold the anti Grant Iiepubli
cans in care of the ex President's nomi-
nation, nor can it retain in the field his
supporters in case of bis defeat while
holding a plurality of the convention.
It is reported from Washington that
the friends of Senator Blaine, Secretary
Sherman and Senator Edmunds are
lorming a combination, the object of
which is to capture the temporary or
ganization of the National Convention.
In this way they will be enabled to re
view a great deal of Grant work in a
very effective manner.
Jay Gould is an enterprising individ
ual. Not satisfied with gobbliog up
11,000 miles of railroad and Pacific Mail
to boot, he is charged with reaching out
for the Presidency behind the mask of
James G. Blaine.
The Empress Eugenie, during her stay
at Durban, was to occupy the same room

A HINDOO HERCULES.
Tbe Wonderful Athletic
Babajee TuIntrant
Feats ot
An entertainment of a novel character
was given on Slarch 6 at the house of
Mr Morarjee Goculdas at Bombay, who
invited a large number of guests to wit
ness some extraordinary feats of strength
on the part of the celebrated Deccan ath
lete, Babajee Tulsiram. The company,
which included many of the leading in
habitants of the city, sal in a semicircle,
at either point of which were placed
several pretty little native boys ai ranged
iD brilliant and costly apparel. Tbe pic
turesque dresses of the native ladies who
were present, the white robes of tbe
Parsee gentlemen and the gay colors of
Hindoo attire had a remarkable fine ef
fect when seen in conjunction with the
beautiful surroundings. After some pre
liminaries in the way of handing round
for inspection the materials with which
he intended to perform, and having sat
isfied the company that there was no de
ception, the athlete, a tall, soldierly man.
some twenty-seven years of age, and
with a magnificent development of mus
cle, proceeded to crush a uuinberof cow
ries between tbe palms of his hands.
He oompletely ground them to powder
in this manner, uttering during the pro
cess sharp, shrill cries, which were pro
bably intended to express the magnitude
of his exertions. Then the performer
placed a cocoacut upon the head of a
boy, and, with what appeared to be a
fearful blow, broke the nut in pieces and
scattered the milk iu all directions, with
out, strange to say, hurting the boy in
any way. The next feat was breaking a
stout coil rope by simply pu ling it. One
of the most extraordinary parts of the
performance was the following: The
athlete placed a betel leaf between two
of his fingers and then, by pressing the
fingers together, cut the leaf so as to
throw the upper part several feet high.
But tiie most startling feat was the break
ing of a stone laid on his chest The
man lay down at full length on some
chairs, and a huge stone, weighing four
Beugal maunds, was placed oq his chest,
which was simply covered by a thin
tunic. Two men then struck the stone
some tremendous blows with heavy ham
men. and after one or two attempts, the
block rolled off the man’s chest in two
pieces. He next made several attempts
to break a cocoanut with a handkerchief.
His mode of procedure in this case was
to roll the handkerchief tightly in the
shape of a ball, and then to throw the
ball upon the nut. Pulling a piece of
sugar cane into two exactly at the joint,
and bending a thick iron plate, were
among the other feats performed. The
company then went out on t)ie balcony,
where the athlete cut a sugar cane so as
to throw up a piece Iherepf 150 feet high.
It was done thus;’ A man held out a
scimitar with tbe odge downwards, and
Babajee struck the cane upwards against
the edge of tbe sword, the piece thus cut
off flying a great distance into the air.
This brought the performance to a close,
and the performer was then presented
with a handsome shawl,
