10 — WEST POINT. Pwo / uation of the Examination in 7% goes Ethics aed Law Ordeal-sThe Cadet Memorial—The War Record ©7 the Clase=A Letter from Henry Ward Becher, Cozzens’ Horg1, June 3, 1869, ‘The examination of the gladuating class In engt- ‘neering was completed this morning, and the first ection in ethics and law passed the ordeal of the eross-questionings of the Examining Board during athe afterneon, The authorities from which the cadets iurbibe all their inspiration as to this special pourse of their studies are Halleck’s International Law, French's Praciicat Ethics, Kent’s Com- mentaries (that portion which relates exclusively to constitational law), French’s Law and Miltary Law, and Benet’s Military Law and the Practice of Cours Martial. Now, although the members of the sections which were called before the Board to-day passed a very satisfactory examt- nation indeed, it can be said that this branch 1s not studied with all that care which 1ts great Importance ‘would seem to demand, No one man im any profes- Bion, with the exception of the legal profession it- self, stands in greater need of a thorough knowledge of law, civil a3 well as military, than he who may, at some time or other, be called upon to assume a semi- Judicial power over his fellow citizens; and there were times durfig our late war when West Point graduates might have done more honor to them- geives and greater service to the cause of mght and justice than they did had they shown by tueir acts that they had not studied law at the Academy in much the same way that parrots are taught to utter certain phrases Without understanding their meaning. Yet, tn Jus- tice to the faculty, it must be conceded that in point of importance this course 1s classed second to engi- neering only, This being so, how this oranch is not studied as it should be may be a mystery to some opie, but it certainly is not to those who ever ard a graduating Class examined in “ Ethics and Law.” The following are the Jast two sections in enginecr- ing, the members of which were examined this morning:— FOURTH SECTION.

In a previous letter I made mention of the fact that several members of the present graduating class were ex-soldiers—young men for whose special benefit at the close, or rather just before the final Collapse of the rebellion, a special law Was passed im Congress, allowing worthy ‘veterans’ not over twenty-four years of age to enter the Academy. Strange as it may seem, this apparent inroad upon the staid old rules and regulations, which before the war shut out all young men over twenty-two zens of age, Was actually fought, tooth and nail, yy certain old fogies who pretended to have the interests the Academy—and _particu- ly thelr own—very much at heart; but e law passed, and the consequence has been that ever since the days of the class of '66 the great ar- mies which fought the battles of the war have been represented by one or more graduates every year. The class of '60 up to {ts third year had no less than fourteen ex-soldiers; but six of them, who had man- Aged to fight successfully through many & battie, were forced to retreat from West Point discomfted nd no doubt disgus@d.

The K. W. Jonn H.

The orchestra started the proceedings of the even- ing with an overture from ‘Dechter and Bauer,” which was very effectively rendered. Mr. William ns, a gentieman with a decidedly English ac- bis then er Sorvans and ee ating over an hour’s duration, upon “Cul © past present and future.” =e - : He drew an eloquent sketch of Christopher Colum- bus landing upon the soil of Cuba over three cen- turies ago and mistaking it for the empire of Cathay. He then L pees along to the consideration of the present of Cuba; its grand uprising for liber- ty and the great responsibility that rested upon this republic in seeing that the weak and iowly Cubans are secured trom the sanguin; tyranny of Spanish persecution. The future of Cuba the speaker painted in very glowing colors. Under the shelter of we American republic, and, Mayhap, one in the great Tamily of free and sovereign States, its re- sources would be speedily developed—its lat- ent riches brought to ht, and taking & posted between two at continents, . while olding the key to a vast line of seaboard, would un- doubtedly form the brightest gem in the entire con- stellution of the Union, After Mr. Parsons’ lecture, which was frequently applauded, the orchestra ' played the overture o! the “Czar und Zimmerman.” <A_ tableau entitied “Cuba in bondage’ was next presented to ths — audience. The young lady who impersonated the enchained spirit of Cuba Was uncommonly beautiful and vivacious. Selec- tions from ‘Faust’ followed. A tableau of “A Cuban Warrior” and one of “Cuba as itis,” with smoking roof trees and grim death plying his hideous mission were very well rendered. A song from Mendelssohn, another tableau of “Cuba as it will be,” and the “Schuetzen March,” completed tho? evening's programme. Conspicuous among the Cubans present were Sefiora R. P. De Yzquierdo, V. Boudat, Kb. B. Macias, Y. Henriques de Leon, I. A. Mathews and J, M. Valdez, FIGUT IN A CHERRY STREET SALOON. Last night, about eight o’clock, a serious fight, in which men and women mingled promiscuously, oc- curred in the lager beer saloon of John Besser, No. 90 Cherry street. Like all rows of this character, beer glasses were hurled with extreme recklessness about the room, and one of them, intended for the cranium of Charles Peterson, struck Margaret breen, @ little girl but eight years of age, on the back, in- flicting a severe but not dangerous wound. Ellen Besser, Margaret Besser, Thomas McCabe and Jere- mianh Ryan, who were recognized as ringieaders in the row, were arrested and locked up in the Fourth precinct station house. DESPEPATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. Josephine Clifton, residing somewhere in West Twenty-seventh street, a forlorn iooking girl about twenty years of age, was arraigned at the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday, before Justice Led- with, on the charge of attempting to commit suicide. Omicer McDermott, of the Twenty-eighth precinct, the evening before observed er running rapidly towards the North river at pier No. 48, and following her quickly he was in time to prevent the consummation of her design, the taking of her life by drowning. When she was placed in @ cell at the station house she twice re- newed the attempt, Orst, by choking herself with a garter, and secondly, by using a handkerchief in the same manner. The Magistrate sent her to the care of the Commissioners of Public Charities aud Correc- tions that she might be cared for. aru Ernest William Hengstenberg. On yesterday this celebrated theologian dial at Bonn, as we are informed by a cabie telegram, in the sixty-seventh year of his age. He was born at Freendenberg, on the 20th of October, 1902, his father being a Protestant clergyman of that place, and re- ceived an excelient education at Bonn, the Oriental languages and philosophy beipg among his studies, For translating an Arabic work of the sixth cen- tury he received high distinction from his university, and in 1824 added greatly to his reputa- tion by bis editing the first part of Anstotle’s Meta- physics. During the same year he became @ private teacher of philosopliy, and in 1825 qualified as teacher of theology. Four years later (1529) he became a Professor and Doctor of Theology, and has ever since ranked with the leading theologians of the day. Dr. Hengstenverg’s Commentaries oa the Apocalypse and the Psalins are among the most prominent and best Known of his works, He also edited the Coreen Kirchen Zeitung from 1827 until his jeath.

Speeches by Dr. Tiffany and Bishop Simpson. ‘A meeting on behalf of the lay delegation in the Methodist Episcopal Church was hela last night at the Bedford street church, corner of Morton etreet. ‘The attendance was pretty large. AS the congregation entered the house each person was handed @ little pamphlet entitled “Dr. Porter on Lay Delegation,” above which title were the words, ‘Take it home with you and read it carefully.” The greater part of those who received the litvie document did not de- fer the reading until their arrival home, but fell to the task and despatched it at once, John McLean was called to the chair, The exercises ‘were opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Tifany, of New Branswick. After this he was introduced as the first speaker. Dr. TIFFANY sald his attention was first called to the subject of lay delegauon by the study of the New Testament, He had become thoroughly satisfied by that study. That to make the Church in the nine- teenth century what it was in the first century but one thing was needed, and that was lay delegation. The Methodist Chureh, like the early Church, had bishops, presbyters, deacons, lovefeasts, an itinerant ministry; in a word, all that the primitive Church had the Methodist Church had to-day, excepting that tne peopie who composed the Church had nothing to do with the management of the Church. Dr. ‘Tiffany then alluded to the pamphlet that had been put into his hands as he came into the house, and proceeded to controvert some of its statements and to show the want o! foundation of some of its as- sumptions, The first thing about the pamphiet that was objectionable was the assumption that the friends of lay delegation belteved the Methodist Church, as it now is, was wrong. What friend of lay delegation, the speaker asked, has ever said that Jay delegation was wrong? When the missionary society Was organized did they who organized it consider the Church was wrong? When the Sunday school was introduced in the Church was the Church thought to be wrong? When schools and colleges for the training of the young were introduced into the Church was it thought to be wrong? When theological seminaries for the train- ing Of ministers were introduced was it thought to be wrong? The question was not whether Methodisin was right or wrong, but whether @ thing that was rgpe in itself might be improved, All who favor lay delegation do so as an improvement. The antagonists were those who favored the old cry, “Let well enough alone.” ‘The next charge in the pamphlet was that lay delegation would interfere with the itinerancy. The speaker then showed that all the changes of the length of time that a minister should remain at a church were changes made by munisters themselves, The pamphiet stated that the question came before the Church “without the endorsement of the General Conference or the bishops.” The speaker showed that the question could not possibly nave come before the laymen for their votes, ex- cept through the instrumentality of the bishops and the General Conference. As for the statement of the pamphlet, that lay delegation was urged on the ground that if it was voted down its friends would secede, the speaker said there was no suff. cient ground. The men who favored it were the foremost men tn the Church, and had no thought o1 leaving it if It fatied, but were determined to work for it tlll it should succeed. As for the objection that no suitable men could be found to represent the laity, A Methodist, it Was said, could sit in the House of Representatives, be a Governor of a State, @ Senator of the United States, but could not open his mouth fn the counseis of his own Church. He thought it a libel gpon. 1,300,000 lay- men in the Methodist Episcopal Church to say that they hadno men among them fit to be their repre- sentatives. Dr. Tittany reviewed the document still further, and when ne had concluded the general impression Was that Dr. Porter was pretty much nowhere, . Bishop StuPson was then introduced. He com- mMenced by saying that the laity had wished the General Conference to propose some plan of lay representation, and that, in accordance with this request, the plan about to voted upon had been “recommended”? by that body, a mosion to change the word “recommended” to “submit” having been lost. The plan, it was said, did not propose to ad- mit any laymen into the Anaual Conference. It did not propose that laymen should have anything what- ever to do with the matter of appointing preachers. The only feature of the plan was that from the Jager Conferences two laymen should be sent to the General Conference, and from the smaller ones one. When the General Conference was so organized the preachers would vote on any proposed measure, and if carried it would be voted on by the laity, and if carried would then become a law. Neither the clergy nor the laity could do anything without the concurrence of the other branch of the Conference. ‘This, it was said, would be a check upon hasty and inconsiderate jegislation, Such checks had been found necessary in the administration of civil affairs, in which there is also the additional check of the veto of the Governor or President. In both the Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches the laity were represented and served as a check on the action of the clergy; aud in the Episcopal Church the bishops had the veto power, The bishop then went on to show how in different branches of the Methodist Church in thts country, a3 well as in England and Canada, the principle had been introduced and how its tendency was invariably it hasty and ill-advised innova- ‘The speaker did not believe in the high church notion that because aman was a@ preacher he had a rght to govern the Church; neither did the Methodist Churca believe it. There were eight thousand traveling preachers and ten thousand local preachers, Who were simpiy jaymen em- powered to Chae If the right to preach carried with it the right to sit in the counsels of the Church then these ten thousand local preachers would not be treated a8 laymen as they now are. <A local preacher as a layfaan stood the eame chance of sitting in the General Conference as any other laymen. So it wouta appear that by the new system no distinction would be made in regard to local preachers not recognized already. The speaker said when he heard a layman say that he thought himself unfit to sit im the General Conference be was not disposed to juestion his judgment, but consoled himself with the thought ‘tuat if the man really were so. his brethren would tind it out, too, and he would not be chosen as a delegate; so that that man at least could have no objecuon to the scheme on that score. The speaker then showed the groundlessness of the charges: to the expense and magnitude of the cost of the Conference should lay delegations be introduced. He was strongly in favor of all te branches of Methodism, and these different bodies were not so small a8 might be supposed. These branches of the Methodist Church numbered one million two hundred thousand. In all these ditfer- ent branches lay representatives were established. He saw no way by which union could be estab- lished s0 readily as by the adoption of lay representation, as it Would remove one great obsta- cle to union. Bbisnop Simpson, in conclusion, said that he was giad to find that women were to vote on this important question, and when they shall bave done so he thought they would Uud that their votes would count as much as the notsy politicians if transferred toa different field. The meeting then broke up. STABBING AFFAAY IN BROOKLYN, Michael Fernandez, twenty-three years of age, a pediler by occupation, residing at No, 207 Gold street, Brooklyn, was arrested last night about galf-past ten o'clock on charge of stabbing Michael McNalley. ‘The prisoner, it appears, had qnarrelied with Me- Naliey during the day, and had procured @ war- rant for his arrest. Last evening both men met out- side the residence of Fernandez, when a fight took place, and the accused stabbed bis adversary with @ dirk Knite in the right side, inflicting a dangerous wound. The act Was witnessed by oilicer Currane, of the Forty-first precinct, who gave chase to Fer- nandez as the latter fled towards Myrtle avenue, and succeeded in arresting lim in a sajoon th which he sought refuge. [le was taken to the Washington street station house and locked up for examination. ‘The police state that boch parties bear @ bad repata- twn. The Injured man was conveyed to the City Hospital, at the advice of Dr. Regan, who examinod the Wound and pronounced it to be dangerous. THE WILLAMSQURG TAAGEDY. A Midnight Inquest. Coroner Whitehiil and a jury took testimony last night in the case of Isaac 8. Waters, charged with shooting and killing his brother-in-law, Jeremtah Strickland. The i est was held at the residence, 14 South Second street. ‘The testimony of James Hyer, Misa Sarah A, Warts and Mra, Hannab Hyer was taken, but no aidittonal facta were elicited, At about eleven o'clock the jurymen induced the Coroner to take them to the Fesiaence of Mra. Waters, the wife of the homicide, to take testimony additional to that given by her, as published in the HeraLp. The physician of Mrs. Waters informed the jurymen thatsbe was in an advanced state of pregnancy, and was at the hour mentioned lying in a critical condition. He thought that ifthe jury en- tered her chamber at that late hour serious conse- uences Would resnit. The jurymen, however, were Geterminea to see the lady, and the Coroner con- sented. The inquest will be continued this after- noon. ACCIDENTS YESTERDAY.
