government was necessary. Nullifica

land and notin the South.”
In striking so vigorously the key note
of 1800 it is not surprising that response
comes from the North, and that the
country should be again threatened
witii llu* horrors of sectional conflict. —
Tlu: following is from the Phiadel
phia Times, giving the bugle blast of
the north : “All the south has to Jo to
make the election of Grant as certain as
any event in the future is to get up a
feu more Winchester celebrations,
unfurl a few more rebel flags,
sing a few more rebel songs and have a
few more orators tell the country how
patriotic a movement rebellion was and
how grand a tiling the south attempted
when it decided to overthrow, by eaue
less war the noblest government of the
world. Whenever it shall be deemed
necessary to choose somebody president
whose election will settle the fact the
there has been a war and that, gover
ment wasn't exactly overthrown, the
name of that president will be Ulysses
S. Grant. It is generally believed that
he had something to do with the war,
and that he knows something about the
final issue of the conflict, and people
won’t get cross-eyed looking over the
field to see which side was victor and
which was vanquished, if they can have
Grant in the presidential chair as a
front sight for their bewildered optics.
Senator Hill seems to have stated the
Constitutional issue incorrectly in say
ing that the war resulted from the col
liaion “of the secessionist and eonsoli
dationists —both disunionists." If the lat
ter were struggling for consolidation —
for a more perfect Union how could
they have been disunionists? He would
have been more nearly right to have
kahl. “both were revolutionists.”

There are few spots on the continent
which can vie with West Point in beau
ty ami refined splendor of scenery. Na
ture has done everything for it
way of contour and variety. The mass
es of rock and forest verdure piled in
careless symmetry, the broad river
winding below and stretching north- |
ward in full sight for ten miles bet ween
high and heavily undulating banks, the
views ofa melting blue distance, and
the delicate and uluxriant vegetat ion
near at hand, give a rare landscape
from every standpoint, and suggests
the wish for a lifetime of luxurious
ease in which to enjoy #mch varied
loveliness. But who dares talk of lux
urious ease at West Point? Shades ot
the martinets ! Lam almost afraid to
publish this, lest General Schofield
should send down here and have me
put under arrest, and perhaps court
martialed tuul shot, for giving utter
ance to such an incendiary suggestion.
I assure you that nature monopolizes
ease and repose at West Point. Noth
ing animate has any business there witii
luxury or easy-going civilian comfort,
and even such inanimate things as the
cadets’barracks and officers’ quarters
have the uncompromisingly square-cut
look about them which impels the sen
sitive observer to involuntarily square
his shoulders and fall into a sort of mil- j
itary step sis he passes them by. The
close shaven parade ground is one vast
carpet of emerald velvet, upon whose
prim perfection no straw or leaf would
dare intrude itself any more than it
would venture to invade the general’s
well scrubbed sidewalk, up and down
which a sentry constantly paces.
The course of “sprouts” through
which the cadets are put is, as might he j
inferred, even if the fact had not been j
>o frequently reiterated, a pretty severe j
one during all of the four years’course. !
Beside mastering the abstruse studies j
which are administered in heroic doses,
and constant drilling with heavy rifles,
the-boys have to learn by hard experi
ence everything which a common sol
dier is expected to know. They have
to keep their scantily furnished rooms
in order, make their own beds, keep
their uniforms and guns in immaculate
condition, and perform lor themselves
every menial service. Some of them
come to the Academy from luxurious
homes, and from the enjoyment of eve
ry liberty and comfort. To such the
iron rule and uiachine-like life at. Un
cle Sam’s school seems intolerable for a
while, of course. But. there is no use
objecting. Excuses are unknown here,
and the authorities possess no bowels of
compassion whatever. However, all
this discipline i< salutary, if one may
judge from the appearance of its sub
jects, for a neater, trimmer, healthier
looking set of boys I never saw together.
