weet POINT. “ee + © wae Porm, June 8, 1867, ° This is season big with importance at the post of ‘West Point, The day has been one of the most delight- ful of the year. The genial sunshine, tempered by bracing breezes—none too cool—greeted the early riser ‘and accompanied him throughout the day. Even at meridian, when the sun was in its full power and splen- dor, and the quiet, noble Hudson, shining like polished qmirrors, there was pleasure and comfort. That beautiful stream never seemed more peaceful than on this eccagion, fraught with so many interests of a conflict: 4g nature to the minds of the great brotherhood of cadet, PXAMINATION DAY, The firet day of examination is always memorable, Dut little inferior to class day, It presents to the grad- uates a glimpse of the heaven-biest time when they shall be free from Pitcheric superintendence; memorable 1@ the second classmen, as they gaze with protruding eye: at the cast off sboes of advanced friends; to the ‘‘hird clagsmen, as they can question, bully, bother, con- fuse, and utterly demoralize the incoming members— the poor “plebs”; to the “piebs,” as they enter a life Joug prayed for, with fear and trembling, their ashen faces, quivering lips and trembling fingers, as they eek the seam of their pantaloons, agreeably to the ‘pompous and stentorian orders of those having them in command, hesftating to grapple with the fearful dignity and duty of cadet life; to the hotel keepers, who see in their minds’ eye overcrowded bouses and liberal-minded papas and mammas, who, in the proud consciousness of posseasing a superior “branch”? at the post, dive deep into their piethoric pockets; to hundreds of enchanting creatures, who elo- quently ‘and successfully persuade the aforesafd papas aud mamsas that their presence is indispensable io Neddie, Frankey, or Louis’ success; to thousands within the reacouble States it is one of the memo- rable days of the year. But as I write the sun has been at rest bebind the ‘een-capped summits of the surrounding mountains for jours, and the time honored Appelee, the imperial deader of the most magniticent of bands, and jong- tried associates, slowly wend thetr way to the hotel, where, reposing in the exbilaraung emotion of a day’s work well done, the advanced guard of the Board of Visitors, surrounded by abevy of gusbing femininity, Paragons of sweetness, are listening to the inspiriting airs of these brilliant artists, who, sensible of the august Presence of such representatives, are iptoning their charming tnusic with emphasis and discretion greater ‘than ever, THE BOARD OF VISITORS, EC, From some unexplained reason the majority of the Board are dreadfully “behind time.” Saturday found ‘Dat five ensconced at the post, receiving the kindly wisies of Picher and the hearty welcome of wack and stad, This is not strictly according to law, or, more appropriately, to custom, as agreeably to the sub- joined act of Uongrees, approved August 8, 18146.

The ‘‘semi-annual examination "’ takes place in January, At this time the cadete are rigidly exam- ined in the subjects which they have been studying, and the new cadets, if found proficient therein, their con- duct having been correct in all respecte, will'recelve the warrant of cadet, and take snch a station in their class ‘as their respective merits, determined at the examina- tion, may entitle them to. If any have been unable to master the Course, they will be pronounced deficient by _ ret Board. and they will stant be continued at i cademy except uj recommendation of the Academic Board. Sibi iis important that tt be clearly wi in the first place, that this examination, Hike all eabsequent ones, 1s very thorough— does not permit any evasion or slisniing of the course, and exacts a very close and per- severing atiention to study, The examining oflicers have no option, They must reject the deficient. The nation sends these young men to the Military Academy, supports and pays them adequately, and opens to them an honorable profession in the expectation that their best efforts will be given to qualify themselves for the higher daties of the military service.

Tt will thus be seen that a person musi carry to the Academy a certain degree of preparation; good’ natural in aptitude for study; industrious habits; perse- verance; a disposition to conform to discipline, and correct moral d-portment, If deficient in f ‘these respects, it will be best for young men not to enter the Mill ry Academy, as they will thus avoid the probabill- ties of disappointment and mortification. Nearly one- third of those who receive appoiutiments fail, through deficiency in the above particulars, to graduate.’ But tt must not be understood that those who fail to master the scientific course taught at the Military Academy ne- cessarily inoar thereby discredit as regards menta! ability, since it is by no means rare for Intellect otuer wise strong to be averse to mathematical imvestigaion or study of language.

A mass convention of the republicaus of New Jersey ‘was held yesterday at Trenton. The attendance was extremely slim, consisting chiefly of colored people of both sexes, None of the leading republicans of the ‘State, with the exception of James M. Scovel and John Y. Foster, were present, and several of the more impor- tant republican papers of the state yesterday openly re- pudiated the convention. ~The call for this convention was made about a month ego by Messrs. Z. K. Pangbura, John Davidson and Jobn Y, Foster, and stated that it should be composed Of delegates to be appointed from the several cities and towns of the State, on the same basis of representation as that of the Republican State Convention of 1865, tor the purpose of discussing the question of impartial suf- frage and the duty of the party in relation thereto, and also to devise such measures as will strengthen our organ- ization, promote the spread of our principles and insure theirtriumpb. This call is issued in view of the fact that no State convention under the call of the State Executive Committee will be held during the year, and ‘De authoritative declaration of the position of the repub- ican party on the question of impartial suffrage can be otherwise made. The language of this call created considerable ‘among the more conservative section of (he party, Messra, Pangburn and Davidson were induced ay to the ment of the convention until the 23d of July. Mr. Foster, howover, would not conseat to an adjourn- Ment, and in concert with James M, Scovel, persevered im bringing about a gathering of the advanced faction of the party on the date originally advertised. 4 The proceedings wero opened by the appearance on the platform of James M. Scovel, who at once read the lengthy resolutions endorsing equal suffrage, which the Republican Convention of 1865 so decidedly rejected, Mr. Scovel requested the audience to make an expression of opinion upon these resolations, whereupon they were at once unanimously approved. Major Hatsran was then elected to act as temporary chairman, In accepting the position he said :— Gexruemen—I esteem it a high honor to have been se- lected a3 your chairman on this occasion. Tho resolu- tions which I offered to a republican convention in this hall, and which were then received with bisses instead of applause, have just received the award whicu they ought to have received from every true lover of demo- cratic institutionsthen, lam prouder to-day to bechafr- maa of this convention, composed as it {s of colored and white men, than if it were composed of. white men only. am also prouder to be cbair- man of this, a mass convention, if it & delegated convention. 1 like to meet the people when I am conscious that the principles Tam afvocating are right. Your approval of these reso- lations to-day 1s a sufficient reward to me for what I suffered two years ago, when, in tender consideration for the policy and well-being of the pasty, some of the re- publican leaders denounced them as inexpedient, My Judgment at that time was that the republican party, as ‘a party, and the people of New Jersey, as Jerseymon, were ready to accord civil and political rights to my colored fellow citizens, I have never ceased to advocate the rights of the colored men, and I never will, 80 help me God, until they stand on the same platform of politi- cal equality with myself, It has been my fortune to see the colored men in many places. I have seen them de- fending as zealously as I did myself the flag of the Union. During this last war nearly two hundred thousand brave sold: colored in hue, bat white and patriotic in heart, shouldered their muskets and did good service that this government might live, The day 18 past when we can stop to inquire whether those men con be trusted with the ballot, They have been en- trusted with the musket, and they yearly pay their quota towards the expenses of the government. As wo fought for no taxation without representation in the Revolu- tion, so let us to-day accord the same principle as a right to our colored fellow citizyna. I took around this room, gentlemen, but I regret to see that the leaders of the republican party of the Staie are not present. But sill I say, let such as are only able to follow their leaders stay at home, Political leaders, properly Placed, are our servants, bat it is generally the case that they only lead the people astray. They are now behind the people, and the people have to drive them on to doing, through tho machinery of the party, what that party, and indeed members of parties in the State, want tohave done immediately. They want to have this State republicanized, to have {t in accord with the Declaration of Independence, to have it what it was under the old constitution, guaranteeing periect equality between ali men, And 1 for one aw prepared tomo a further, and. to have universal su: in- cluding evea fair and lovely woman.

Foster aud Chartes Hutcbing, Mr. Scovet, in uming the duties of tho chair, said be thought it proper for him to say that this mass con- vention was originally called jajor Pavgborn, Mr, Davidson and Mr. Foster, The first two g mon had since withdrawn in consequence of the announcement that a delegate State convontion of the republican party would take piace on the 23d July, bat, to the eternal honor of the last name, Mr. Foster refused to agree to any postponement of the convention. He thought, and the speaker thought, and so be believed the dark skia- ned sons of the repobdlic thought, thal the earlier the moment at which the question of equal rights, and the position of the republican party in regard to it, was sel- ted, the botter for themselves, and the beiter, besides, the copperhead enemies of God and of man, Mr. ter objected to an adjournment, and it been finally determined that a mass convention should be held on that day. He did not caro if they had not got such a crowd present as there would be at the convention of the 23d July. This Con- vention must not be understood as in conflict with the Convention to take piace oa the 23d of. July. They had met simply to declare their fideluy to the principles for which Abraham Lin- cota gave up his life on the 14th of April, two years ago, It was the misfortune of the speaker to be in the mi- nority on this question of equal rights; bat he rather ¢ minority. He wouid rather be on the & minority than on the side of the devil . He hked to bave a square stand-up fight with the demoeratic party of ) jersey. That party still denied the right of universal equality before the law, and cling to the Southern idea of subordination and inequality, or adhered, as Mr. Johnson said, to the constitution. In ing, he would cail to their notice the fact that Mr. Johnson had said the day previous at Raleigh that his rece was nearly Tun, and that he would soon pass away.

A meeting of the citizens of the Twentieth and Twen- ty-second wards took piace last evening in National Hall, Forty-fourth street, Michael Nolan acted as chair- man. About fifty were present. The object of the meeting was to be to devise measures to op- [pose the running of steam cars on Eleventh avenue, and be the city authorities to their duty in the ver, Mr. Reavonn was the first ‘or to addresa the meet. He argued that if an injunction was applied for in the matter the Supreme Court would grant one preveut- ing the railroad company from runoing steam cars on the Eleventh avenue, Mr. Hawiry spoke next, He thought the citizens had down out going to law oe put the company at all, Ronert Mitten said that the steam cars should not be allowed to come farther than Duyril creek, apd that from that point it woul to the advantage of the company, as well as the citizens, to have the freight and even ht down in steam- boats, He moved acommittesjof five be sppointed the Cl on the ( Counsel, and consult him on what the citizens should do in the Premises, The motion was l.

It is entitled “Happy as @ Queen,” and represents a young girl in au atte trying on @ new gown before retiring to bed. Tho details are worked out with extreme care, the re(lected lights from the candle and the moonveams crossing each other, and producing @ very singular offect. For originality of con- ception and careful atudy, this picture deserves @ bigh Place among the compositions ot the year. Hubbard has just given the finishing touch to a view of Mount Mansfield, taken from the north side. It is simply and unpretendingly treated, but conveys per- fectly the impressions made on the mind by a visit to the spot, In atinospheric truthfulness, carefal adherence to local features and general breadth of treatwent it of- fers as guod @ specimen of this artistis style as avy that wo have seen. r, Gignoux has another autumn landscape on his easel, which he calls October in the Adiroudacks,”” Though not nearly finished it is saficiontly advanced to enable us to judge of its promise. In autumn and winter ef: fects Mr. Giguoux has but few competitors, The pic- ture which he has under way will certainly not discredit his reputation, William Hart has completed a very effective pictare entitled “The Coming Storm.” The sketches for it were taken ata place called Bethel Meadows, in Maine. It bas been carefully studied and is as carefully worked out, It ig a departure and a marked one from hia usual style, and the effect 18 so happy that we trust be will frequently repeat the experiment. De Haas bas also been moved by a spirit of unusual boldness, He has just completed two pictures which are as uulike bia former efforia as works by the same hand can be. One is @ moonlight off the coast, a vigor- ous, strongly handled picture, which reminds one a good doal of the manner of Achenbach, The other, The Henrietta Lying To in a Gale, is treated with similar hardiness; the artist, who has spent many years at sea, being evidently inspired by his recollections, Those who have crossed the Atlantic in winter cannot fall to appreciate the truthfulness of the effects which he gives us in this picture, and those who have not will be enabled to judgo of the risks and désagrimens of the late ocean yacht race, No one but ao old sailor could have ander- taken to paint such a picture. It is not only technically accurate, but, as a whole, strikingly effectiv Bierstadt has Ouished his “Emigrants Crossing the Plains,” It is, like all this artist’s compositions, treat- ed with great broadth and freedom; but it is too sug- gestive of heat, dust and suffering to tho unfortunates who have to traverse the region depicted—that lying beneath the Wind River Mountains—to be a pleasing picture. The merit of the artist is not, however, to be underrated on this account. He has painted what he saw, and painted it well, Mr. Bierstadt haa another picture on his easel, entitled, “Crossing of the Upper Waters of viorado,”’ which is io pretty much the same ke: jnetures, we are told by persons who have visite 84, areas accurate as they can be, exaggerated though the efiects may seem, McEntee’s ‘“‘Au\aian Scene on the Bronx River’ is full of the soothing influences which lend such a charm to this artist's compositions A miad diseased would do well to keep one of them always present to ita view. Mr, McEntee is a genuine poet. Had be not taken up the pencil he must inevitably have betaken himeelf to the pen. A work of extraordinary elaboration 1s “The Mother's Prayer,” by J. B. Irving. It aimost requires a magnify- ing glass to foilow out its details. No miniature could be painted with greater attention to finish. The ques- tion is whether the time thus bestowed pays. 8. R. Gifford has completed a “View in the Adiron- dacka,”” It is remarkable principally for its fine effects of atmosphere. In the other portions of the picture there is but little to interest. W. J. Hayes keeps adding to bis show of wild ani- mals, ‘The lately added specimens are worthy of in- spection. BROOKLYN INTELLIGENCE, Fetoxiovs Assautt,—An old man named Michael Fisch, @ German, was taken into custody by officer Van Wicklen, on a charge of felonious assault, and locked up at the Forty-tbird precinct station house on Monday night Jast. Michacl is charged with having wounded John Rapp by shooting him in the body with buckshot. Yt would seen that Rapp avd his wife have not been living on very amicable terms for some time past, and she sought and found a temporary asylum from abuse beneath the friendiy roof of Flisch, near the foot of Court street, South Brooklyn. John, however, growing weary of the separation, determined on having an interview with bis wife, and to carry out this wise intention he repaired to the domicile of the former, but was refused adinfssion on putting in an appearance there. Growing irate, itis alleged that he began to throw stones at Flisch, While engaged in the latter oc- cupation he received the injuries above referred to. He was conveyed to the College Hospital, where his wounds were dresse: Asoraer Cuvrcn Evtrter.—Yesterday morning, at about half-past eleven o'clock, St. Michael’s church, in High astrect, near Gold, was opened for religious services with appropriate ceremonies, A large audience was as- gombled, and the procession of clergy, headed by the choir of Trinity church, New York, entered the building chanting the processional hymn.

The Grand Master’s Annual Address—Great rease of Members—Procession the The annua! communication of the Grand lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York was held yesterday at Irving Hall. There was a very large attendance of the brotherhood and visitors present, the band of the Seventy-first regiment, with a chor composed of the members of the *t. Cecelia Lodge were in attendance, and took part in the opening exercises, At two o'clock the Grand Lodge entered the hall ip pro- cession, the band playing a march, An opening ode was then sang by brother J. R. Thomas, assisted by the choir in the chorases, Prayer was then offered up in behaif of the Order by the Rey. Grand Chaplain, R. J. Schoonmaker, The M. W. Grand Master, Most Worshipful Rovgrr D. Howes, then opened the Gran Lodge with the usual ceremonies, after which he proceeded to deliver big an- nual address, THE ADDRESS. The Grand Master said that under the benign Provi- dence they were permitted to assemble together under auspices much happier than could haye been supposed when they Inst exchanged brotherly feelin.s, At that time intercourse with their bretiiren South bad but recently recommenced; but since then the bond which held them together had grown stronger day by day, and the Masons of the United States were once again & unit. They had extended to their southern brethren aid, comfort aud cheering words; but yet much true Masonic work remained fortuem to do in that quarter, He hoped the labor of love would be continued tll they had proved that the sincerity of their desire to do good would be fully equalled by the means which they had at command. During the past year tue District Deputy Grand Masters ‘throughout the State had been most aesituous in performing their allotted work, The office of Deputy Grand Master was one of great labor and of as great importance as that which fell to the Grand Master himself, One or more officers of this grade were required to be added tor the district, which bas now but ove Deputy Grand Master, the district consisting of Kings, Queens and Suffolk counties. Lodges were in- creasing fast in it, and the labor of supervising their work was very great. In re c8 to the late action of ‘@ convention of Masons held in Brooklyn, he said that no convention of Masons, nor any body of Masons, ex- cept it be the Grand or subordinate Lode, can be legally called together to act on Masonic questions, whether of jurisprudence, finance, or any other matter connected getorally with Masonry, unless it be under the order or by direction, or by the permission of the Grand Mae- ter. On this subject a committee should be ap- pointed to take the matter into consideration and report as speedily as possible. Dispensations for the establishment of fifty-turee Lodges had been tesued during the past year, The reports from these were of & very favorable character. He congratulated the craft that very few causes of trouble existed in tho jurisdiction, The most serious was the action of the Grand Lodge of Hamburg in sustaining two of her dependents here without regard to our territorial rights, He recom- mended that the Committee on Warrants summon before them the District Deputy Grand Marshal for information as to the exact condition of Lodges applying for war- ranta, He referred to the fact that the devotions in subordinate Lodges in many cases sec- tarian im their character, which he looked upon as irregular, He commended the spirit of the craft io staining the Masonic Fair lately beld in this city. Over $50,000 had been realized alter paying all expenses, and that sum is now 1m the hands ot the treasurer of the fund. The Cambridge Lodge, in Brooklyn, had been dissolved in consequence of the action of the Master and Senior Warden in assailing the honor and integrity of the trustees of the ball and asylum fund. Every trouble of adomestic character had been settled, and obedience to the laws of the Grand Lodge ts renewed with alacrity. Their foreign relations were of the most favorable and dattering character. ‘The address was listened to with great attention. On the conclusion of the business the craft, with their visitors, then left the hall, THE NATIONAL GAME. Union, of Morrisania, vs. Irvington, of Irving- » New Jersey. The most exciting match which bas taken place thus far in this section was that played yesterday afternoon at Irvington, New Jersey, between the Irvington Club and the Union Club of Morrisania, The interest which base ball has created might be agcerteined from the fact that fully seven or eight thousand people willingly braved the iutense heat which iled_yesterdayy the attempts made by the Jersey Horse Railroad Com- pany, from Newark to Irvington, to crowd the greatest number of people in the smaliest possible space, the swarms of Jersey mosquitoes, the exorbitant demands of owners of lumber wagons, andthe probabilities of a rolonged in the vicinity of the “Camptown Yard? {n order to witness what promised to be @ first class match in every particular. To a certain extent the spectators were disappointed ; and the crowd of over. grown boys, with men’s hats and ‘oud’? neckties, Joud voices and littie sense, who .onnoyed ars mee J near them by thelr attempts at plait and blackguard- ism, became by degrees cooled down when they saw that the Union Club, which was disgraced by the unsonght championing of this rabble—could pot close up with their adversaries. The Unions seemed somewhat out of sorts; Pabor pitched more wildly than usual; Birdgall, although as neat as ever, was not so sure ‘on the entch ; Goldie made a most horrid apd, for him, extraordinary muff; Smith could not play short, although lively and earnest’ as ever; Ketcham was quick, but slippery in the Singers; and'Anstip, who judged the flys very nicely and got them in hiy hands, could not keep thotn there. Martin, Abrams and Atken, in general play, were the only ones deser: ing notice. ‘Keicham some- what retrieved his misses by a beautifulcatoh of a tly foul ball after along, hard run, and Birdsall also retrieved his poor play by a difficult bound catch and an extragr- dinary tly tip catch, ‘Un the Irvington side, it may be seen, all hands, with bot few minor exceptions, did remarkably well. HB. Campbell particularly distinguished himeelf in lett fleld: Crawford took a tly in splendid style at right field, an Pike and Buckley both mado beautiful cal of foul balls; Walters pitched mo: | short was aw fav, and the ba’ irdiiy manned as any one could wish. In Loatting the Irvingtons far excelled their opponents, aud found bat little trouble in driving the ball to safe «pots, The ground was certainly somewhat tn their favor in a few instances ;*bat it was very evident from the sart taat they were outplaying the Uoions im every way. The umpiring of Mr. Hay- hurst was, on the whole, very satisfactory, One or two decisions did not seem to suit the crowd above alluded to, but those directly interested had no cause for com- piaint, The score of the game is as follows:— est0N.
