The first intimation at the Jali on Tuesday ag to the decision of the President and Attorney General on the application fora commutation of sentence was about 1:30 o'clock that day by Messrs. Smith and Miller, Pinn’s counsel. who went down tosee him. Pinn was called out, and ere he reached them he saw by their faces that they had good news for him, and he broke out tnto a hearty laugh. This action—the com- Mutation of his sentence to imprisonment for life—was all that Pinn was asking or expecting atthistime. In the language Of one of the guards, “The United States signal service is no- where along side of the system among the prisoners, and the news ran through the building faster than the teie- graph could have carried it. — Atter spending some minutes tn conversation with his counsel, Pinn jeft with a light heart for lis cell, fairly dancing across the floor. Bedford and Queenan had been hoping for a further respite, ff not_a commutation of sen- tence, and on learning that the President had declined to further Interfere they became down- cast. Queenan seemed quickest to realize his position, and almost immediately commenced to pray, and has since devoted himself io re- igious reading and prayer; but states that he Minds 1t alfficult to do so. Bedford professes to have found peace in believing in the Saviour, and says he Is ff to live or Nt todie. When in formed of the decision of the President he was Not so demonstrative as Queenan. In an interview with tne prisoners yesterday allof them maintained that they were 1an0- | centot the charge, and Pinn seli that he ex- pected to live until the truth would come out and show bis innocence.

In 1578 O'Brien was catcher for the Rosedale base ball clud of this city, and either the same or the following season joined the Hartford (Conn.) club, as cateber for Lynch, the present pltcher of’ the Nationals, and on the disbandonment of the Hartfords went into the Waterbury (Conn.) club, closed the season with them, and played several games here with the Nationals, [He subsequentiy obtained employment at the works of the Washington Gas Light company, from which he was alscharged some weeks since, when he entered upon a spree, which he kept up unul he left Georgetown, about ten Gays ago, stating to his friends that he was go- ing to Cumberlind, Md., where he bad been romised employment by one * Buck” O'Nelll. fames O’Brien has no identity with the O’Brien who was connected with the Cornell gang, that O'Brien having «ied some two years ago.

Major General Schofield, commanding the de- partment of West Point, United States Military Academy, in his annual report of 1880 tothe Adjutant General of the Army, after alluding to the material improvement at the Military Acad- | emy, refers to the standard of admission to the academy, which appears to be as high as prac- | Ucable under the present method of selecting candidates. ~ = THE PRACTICE OF HAZING. ‘Under the head of discipline the report says:— The practice of hazing in the mild form in which it formerly existed in the corps of cadets has, at length, been so far suppressed. that no case worthy of notice has occured in more than | ayear. The reform has been accompanied by | a kindred cne in the abolition of what may be styled official, hazing or the ancient drill ser- geant’s method of military Instruction and discipline and the substitution of methods more appropriate to the education and command of | an army of freemen. Itis believed that con- Minual diligence and discretion on the part of the officers of the Academy for a few years will make these reforms permanent without in auy Wise marring the perfection of the drill or dis- cipline of the corps of cadets, The former practice of settling all personal differences be- tween cadets by pre-arranged ilistic ducis, “hich were often brutal in their character, has leen wholly reformed without impairing the Troper habit of manly self-defence against P rsonal assault or affront ‘These reforms mnerk an important era in the history of the efsctpline and military instruction of the corps of cadets. FREEDMEN AT WEST POINT AND IN THE ARMY. ‘the oucrage which was committed in the cadets’ barracks on the 6th of jast April, and wich bas cecupied so much of the public at- tention, deserves notice here mainly for the perro e of correciing erroneous impressions which have prevailed respecting the investiga- tion which followed it and for the imporiant lesson which that investigation teaches. That tmatler was promptly investigated by the com- mandant of cadets under my direction in the usual way and in the only way provided by la’ or regulations, ‘lhe fraudulent character of the outrage was fully demonstrated within a very few hours of {ts discovery. Indeed the fraud was so transparent that It could net possibly have escaped almost immediate detection. ‘The surgeon reported that he had found the cadet in ful possession of all his facultics and yet feigning unconsciousness When discovered. His alleged injuries trom | biows upon the nose and head and his side had been found utterly fictitious. No such blows and no such injuries had been received. The alleged note of warning was at once discovered to be in the familiar and peculiar handwriting of the cadet himself. The resemblance In some parts was so striking as Jo suggest the poss! bility of a skilful im“tation, but closer inspec- {lon showed the paris bearing such resemblance to have been written in a natural hand while some otber parts were evidently disguised. There was ample ground for conviction pro-- duced in the minds of allwho saw tke note | that the cadet himself was the author of it. | That conviction, added to the glaring faise- hoods and attempt at deception in respect to | alleged blows and injuries and feigned condi- Uon of unconsciousness, fully justified the commandant’s reporf to me that the eadet was acrimipal particinant in, tf not the sole author of, the fraudulent outrage of which he pre- tended to be the victim, CADETS BXCULPATED. The investigation inade by Col. Lazelle also demonstrated to the full conviction of all who knew the facts and were’ qualitied to judge, and upon whom the respousibiilty of judgment legally rested, that there was no ground for even a suspicion that any other let had any paper in or renee of the outr: esides, the details of the al assault cluded a coarse and vulgar mantpulation of the Tson of the colored cadet such as would be Impossible to any decent white man who was aftiicted with color prejudice, and such pre- judice was the only reason which could be Supposed to induce any white cadet to wish to Injure an {roffensive colored boy. That suc dee ne manipulation had taken place and to real injuries inflicted gave ample grounds for the belief, fully confirmed by the comman- ant's investigation, that the cadets had no part in the outrage. There was no reason founded in law or justice for any further investigation of the matter as far as any question of gutit or innocence of the cadets was Involved, aud surely there could have been no excuse for any attempt to deceive the public by concealing or misrepresenting established facts, so as to sereen the guilty and cast suspicion upon the innocent, ‘The facts as then known were promptly given to the agents of the public press who sought them, and it was through no fault. of the officers who had investigated the case that any pubic misapprehension existed at any time respecting its merits, All Just grounds for any such misapprehension were removed before the facts were made public. THE COUKT OF INQUIRY. ‘The usual investigation preseribed by law and regulations having shown ample grouad ot ac- cusation against one cadet and no grovod whatever for accusation against any other, tne full measure of justice to which any oflicer or cadet was entitied under such circumstances Was a prompt trial before 2 court-martial upon the specific charges embodied in the comm iad ant’s report of his investigation, But tae ac- cused promptly demanded a court of inquiry, which would be the more advantageous to hin since it would make him the teadiug witacss tn his own case, instead of puiting nim on his de. “ence. Aitera review of the action of the Court of Inqu¥ etc,, the report says: But when tit exua cegal Inquiry bad again demonstrat that there was no just grouud tor suspicion of any one except the accused cadet it became iny duty to again publicly exonerate tho: bad been unjustly and filegally suds public suspicion, and to protect the Cour’, compliance with its request, from further illegal interference, so that. 1U might proceed with the lawrul inquiry for which it had deen appotated. The result of the inquiry is well known, and it requires no further comment except a brict reference to the general facts which it diz closed to the public, The social Uberty which, bo Jess than Civil or religious liberty, 1s a right, enjoyed and prized by every citizen of the United States, has been denied to the cadets for several years past, yct they have respected the tegal rights of colored cadets with more Scrupulous Care than those of any other. Every lawful right of the colored cadet has been se- curely guarded by the oificers of the Academy, and he has invariably been treated with great kindness and Indulgence. The authorities of the Military Academy have not failed In any duty toward those persons of the newlg en- franchised race’ who have been piaced Ader their care. “UNDUE KINDNESS TO AN UNWORTHY CADRT.” ‘The superintendent of the War department, in the exercise of executive discretion, may hereafter, as heretofore, show undne kindness toward ai unwerihy cadet even fer no better reason than that he is co‘ored, but the aca temic beard or acourt martial can be pretty voni- dently relied upon to do him impartial justice in thecnd. While every lawful right of the col- ored cadets has been fully secured to them, and thelr official treatment has been not only just but very kind and indulgent, their social rela- Uons to their fellow cadets have not been what they appear to have been led to expect, Military discipline 1s not an effective means of promoting social intercourse or of overcom- ing social prejudice. On the contrary, the en- forced association of the white cadets with their colored companions, to which they Rad never been accustomed before they came from home, appears to have destroyed any disposition which before existed to indulge in ‘such assoctatton. Doubtless this was due in part to the bad per- sonal character of some of the young colored men sent to West Point and in part to the nat- ural reaction it an attempt wo govern Social intercourse by military regulations. Per- sonal merit may ral pre- idly overcome unjust, judice when all are free to regulate their own Soctal habits; but when soctal intercourse is en- forced in spite of prejudice on one side aad of fersonal demerit on the other the result must be rather an increase than a diminution of the pre-existing prejudice. NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR THE BXPERIMENT. For this reason the military academy cannot be made a favorable place at which to first in- ireduce social intercourse between the white and black man. West Point will at the most only be able to follow the example of the coun- ur at large in this respect. It does not se2m a reasonable expectation that young men of a race so recently emerged from a state of slavery could compete succes tually with those who have Inherited the strep; ied In the many gen- erations of freedom enjoyed by their ances’ ors, and it was an act of doubtful kindness to the colored race to force them into such unequal competition. Yet one of that race out of the Cleven appointees has passed through the mill. tary Acacemy without difficulty and graduated with credit. although without social recogni- Uon. “if cthers can be appointed who S28 the requisite personal qualifications they may {cel quite ure of the fairest ble chance to compete with their white comrades for the hon- ors ef West Point, but their social relations to thetr fellow cadets will depend almost entirely upon the habits in that regard which the latter bave acquired at home under the instruction of their parents. The authorities of the Military Academy cannot even attempt to establish scctal rules different from those which prevail among the people of the United States whose >ons are sent to West Point fora military edu- cation. THE QUESTION OF PREJUDICE. The dificulty surrounding this subject ts aggravated by the scrnewhat common error of ascribing it to en unreasonable prejudice a st race or color, The prevailing “‘preju- gi is rather a i aversion to qualities «hich the people of the United States have sone teen accustomed to associate with a state ly the external That only eens Mans, could not be removed by tht act of ranchising |) the slave.

The natural result of such a false assumption | Was fairly fllustrated In the recent unfortunate cese of the colored cadet. He had not yet even b:gun to a] or understand the real feel- lug toward uim of those by whom he was su reunded. He ed that oilicers who had fought to make him free, and who were tabori- ousiy strivéig to teach nim what he could nt comprehend, were governed tn their cond toward him by “Hate of the nigger,” and tha Cideta Who Would ‘neither touse him or apeas to him could be believed to have tied his hands and fe: and cut his hair and ears. and that 80 tenderly as not to hurt him. He bad not reached that point in civilization where it is first appre! may be governed by motives other than love, hatred or fear. The education and elevation of the newly enfranchised race is a work worthy of the united efforts of all citizens; but that work cannot be advanced —It must rather be retarded—by forcing colored men into official position for which they have not yet become duly qualitied, or into social relations where they cannot be freely welcomed. The colored man cannot be truly free until he becomes inde- P Nd-nt of such extrancous atd, and the degree ©: nus trcedom cannot be increased by depriving te white man of a portion of the liberty he us always enjoyed. ENFORCING ASSOCIATIONS. In thelr zealand sincere desire to carry out, the oh cy of \he government, the authorities of the Military Academy have heretofore gone too far in enforel mal associations between persol white and black cadets, without — to preju- dice, especially at the mess table. In respect to quarters, the more reasonable rule has always been obscryed of not requiring any cadet ast his will to occupy the same sieepiag apartment with another. The same rule should have been adopted in respect to seats at the mess tabie. The colored cadcts would thus have been saved some part of the mortification due Jo an li! advised attempt to regulate their social stand- ing by pe force. oad just ee ot self-reproach any portion of the good people ot the United Siates may have for neglected duty toward those who had been so suddenly raised from slavery to the full responsibilities of cit— izenship, the officers of the Military Academy have only to reproach themselves for a too zealous attempt to accomplish what wes man- Mfesuy impossible in their desire todo all in their® power for the unfortunate colored boys had ten piaced in a false position, who in their faith u efforts to carry out a policy, he ever uladvised, that had fer its aim to secure to the newly enfranchised the fullest possible enjoyment Of all the rights and prigileges of citizenship. But the military academPean not, Without utterly destroying its usefiliness, be made a nursery for delicate hot house plants.

She states that this law- yer took her up to the lying-in asylum in a hack, and the mother brought it out ard barded it. to her wrapped up In a salt sack, wh nO clothing at all, and promised to furnish it with fine clothes, &c. Finding she could get no Satisfaction, she went to the lying in asylum and told Dr. Murphy about it, and he sent_her to police headquarters. Lieutenant Eckloff at once sent out an officer to find the gentiem-n who had made such fair promises. The child ts a male, and appears to be healthy and bright, but is in need of a better nurse than has been provided for it. Detective Voss soon returned without the lawyer, stating that he could not be found at the place where he was thought to be. He will pursue the search further. The lawyer in the case 1s sald to be a brother-in-law of Paul B. \Wright, who with Percy Brown and Eugene Buekly, were recently committed by the grand jury for blackmailing Mrs. Willard. It looks a3 if there were to be some interesting developments in this case. Mand Says She Was put out of _the hack by the lawyer at the corner of 7th street and Loutsiaua avenue, and 2% cents given her to ride home tn the cars. Maud gave ber name as Maud Percy Pratt.
