C., Angust 22, 1973, The Board of Visitors tothe West Point Military Academy have submitted thetr report to the Secre- tary of War. The Board consisted of M. Russell Thayer, President; A. L. Chopin, of Wisconsin; Amos T. Akerinan, of Georgia; Henry B. Curtis, of Ohio; William T. Early, of Virginia; J. L. G. McKown, of Niinois; James H. McMullen, of Maine; 4. W. Stevenson, Senator from Kentucky; Jobn Sherman, Senator trom Ohio; L. P. Poland, Repre- sentative from Vermont; John Coburn, Represen- tative from Indiana, and S. 8. Marshall, Represen- ative from Ilnots, The Board say the Superintendent, the’professors and ail the officers of the academy furnished every possible facility to enable the Board to make its in- vestigation as thorough as possible. Every place ‘was thrown open to the Board and its committees, and full information given upon all subjects. The scrutiny of the Board into the affairs of the Academy, its discipline, instruction and general administration has consequently been very thorough. : : The skill, exactness and beauty of the move- ments which characterized the performance of the cadets in the various drills and exercises were Such as to reflect the very highest credit upon themselves and upon the commandant of the cadets and other military instructors, whose talents and assiduity have brought the corps to a degree of proficiency which probably has never been sur- passed in the history of the Academy, No one can witness the military exercises of the corps of cadets without a sentiment of NATIONAL PRIDE IN THE INSTITUTION which produces such perfect results. The Hoard of Visitors having been summoned to West Point a week in advance of the commence- ment of the annual examinations, were thereby furnished an opportunity of attending the daily recitations of the cadets in their several section rooms. The members of the Board availed them- selves to the fullest extent of this opportunity to - observe the daily routine of instruction in the ‘ NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET, Wien’ he. sppointen hand, and no candidate of is @ delicate and oftentimes a most dificnit duty ‘to juate punishments to offences, This duty.the envertain no doubt "3 been most conscientiously discharged by the horities of the Academy, and what has already been gaid a} the subject is intended as an ex- ression of sense of the Board in reference to ne sles care which should be exercised in the treatment of this subject, and not as a criticism upon the application of discipline in particular cases which have occurred, THE OUTRAGEOUS PRACTICE OF “HAZING”? new cadets has been ina great measure suppressed by the firm and vigilant administration of the pres- ent Superintendent. The Board repost that effi- cient progress has been made and 1s still being made toward the total extermination of this discredit- able practice. The petty tyranny formerly exer- Cised towards the inexperienced young men just Saeeree military life, as demoralizing as it is rep- renensible, is rapidly disappearing, and no pains, the Board feel assured, are being spared by the Superintendent and his subordinates to eradicate it entirely. It is a practice most injurious in its tendency and effects. To submit to ite willingly begets a spirit that is cringing and unmanly. resist begets one that is Drutal. To yield with the par- of further revenge is hardening in the ex- reme. The Board deem it advisable to clothe only those cadets with authority over the newly- admitted cadets who have themselves ha‘ at least two years’ experience in the discipline of the Academy. The old rule that to learn to obey is the first step toward learning to command, is as appll- cable here as elsewhere. ‘The Board report that a Leak ogg protracted in its extent and particular in its details, has con- vinced them that the afairs of the Academy are administered with EFFICIENCY, JUDGMENT AND FIDELITY te the ends of its institution, and they think it due to the Superintendent, who is responsible for the administration of the Academy, that this con- viction should be clearly and ‘unequivocally ex- pressed in their official report. They also speak in like terms of all the separate (epartments of the Academy, and, in conclusion, the Board report that its present condition is in all re- spects sound and good, and that it 1s fulfiling the purposes of its establishment in the most satisfac- tery manner, reflecting honor upon those who are charged With its administration, and verifying by its progress and by the solid benefits which it con- fers upon the country the wisdom and foresight of its founders. For seventy years its ne- ficial imfuences have gone forth, repaying its debt of gratitude to the country and making a record which renders it impregnabie to all assaults, and secure in the confidence, the oe and the affection of the people of the United tates. No longer upon the defensive or requiring the vindication of its friends, its resuits are written in imperishable history. No longer ‘‘a foundiing, barely existing siiong the mountains,” it presents itself now in the full maturity of its strength and manly vigor, recognized and main- tained ag the acknowledged ahd cherished oif- Spring of the nation. VIRGINIA CONSERVATIVES. An Immense and Enthusiastic Gathering * to Ratify the Nominations of the State Convention—Speeches by the Conserva- tive Nominees for Governor and Licu- tenant Governor, RICHMOND, August 22, 1873. The conservatives of Richmond, aided by dele- gations from various portions of the State, assem- bled in immense numbers at the theatre to-night feveral departments of the Academy. The result of this observation, centinued daily for an entire | week, was extremely satisiactory. The ability of | the professors and instructors in all the depart- | ments, and that of their assistants, and their | vea) in-the performance of their duties were every- | where maniest, and afford the most satisfactory | asvurance that the high reputation of the Academy in these departments is fully maintained at the | present time. Everywhere in the section rooms | the Board observed with pleasure the great pains which were taken by the professors and their as- | Bistants, not only that the cadet should Know his lesson, but that he should understand it and be | able to give the reasons for the several propositions | and processes involved in it. ficiency shown in these daily recitations was | to ratify the nominations made by the recent State | Convention, For more than an hour previous to { the organization of ‘the meeting the space adjacent to the theatre was thronged with an enthustastic | crowd, eager to display the strong feeling with | which the Virginia conservatives enter into this important canvass, which both parties feel wili be final as to the political status of Virginia. A feature ol the preliminaries to the meeting was the sending up of three balloons, each inscribeu with the name orone of the three members of the State ticket— Kemper, Withers and Daniel, These and other ‘The average of pro- | minor incidents entertained the acres of assem- bled spectators until the doors of the theatre were high. Failures were rare, and the performance | of the higher sections olten admirable. ‘The de. | thrown open, A fine band of music delighted meanor of the cadets in the section room was dig- | the eager and enthusiastic audience with nifed and attentive. They were, however, ire- | quently wanting in distinctness of pronunciation | and sometimes in facility of expression, a circum. | Btance tending to confirm the Board in an opinion | expressed elsewhere in this report. namely :—That \tis greatly to be desired that the course of in- Btruction should, if possible, be somewhat enlarged by allowing some time to be given to literary and historical studies and to exercises in elocution, The Board are aware that the object» of the Academy is te give a purely military education, but even a purely military education cannot be said at She present day to be complete which omits wholly trom its course instruction in history and letters, On the 29th of May and on several subsequent flays the Board attended THE EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES FOR ADMISSION to the Academy. The examination of members bf the graduating class commenced on the 6th of | June, and was succeeded in due course by that of | the lower classes. The whole examination occa- = a period of two weeks, two sessions being | eld daily, and the examination of different sec- tions of the lowerfclasses proceeding belore dis- tinct committees of the Academic Board at the Bame time. in the public examinations, as in the’ Baily recitations, each section of the various classes | Was examined by itself. ‘The graduating class was examined in engifecr- ing, mineralogy and enc ordnance and gun- | hery, ethics and law and in cavalry tactics, in all | pf which the members of the class, with very few | exceptions, acquitted themsetves with great credit bo themselves and their instructors, and, both by their proficiency in their studies and their soldicrly havior, impressed the Board most favorably with the results of the training. which they had ,re- veived. On the 13th of June the Board had the pleasure vf witnessing the interesting ceremonies attend- Ing the graduation of the First class, forty-two in bumber, a scene always impressive in its charac- ter, and rendered more so than usual on the pres- Bent occasion by the presence of the President of the United States, who delivered to the graduates their diplomas, and that of the Secretary of State and the General of the Army, both o: whom made brief and appropriate addresses to the class. The Board, us well by careful observation in the bection rooms as at the public examinations, have made diligent inquiry into the character and ae, of the work Of education done at West ‘oint, and give THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION under topics distinctly defined. ‘The Board, in view of the fact presented, earn- tetly renew the recommendation of tormer Boards isitors, for the introduction into the course of @ Department of Rhetoric and Englisn Literature. itis suggested that the present Academic Board be charged with the special duty of considering and reporting on sume readjustment of the course pf study, with a view to the accomplishment of thie important object by proper legislation. The requisitions and examinations of can- ddates for admission to the Academy en- ed the particular attention of the Board. iy law candidates are required to be between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two years, to have bodies in every respect sound and uealthy, and minds of good, natural capacity, made by iustrye- ion “proficient in reading and writing, tnciuding orthography ; in the elements of English grammar, in descriptive geography, particularly of our own | country, and in the history of the United States. In arithmetic the various operations in addition, Subtraction, multiplication, division, reduction Simple and compound proportion and vulgar ai decimal fractions must be thoroughly understood wnd readily pertormed.”’ After careiul considera- tion the Board are satistied that THIS STANDARD OF REQUISITIONS CANNOT BE CHANGED with any advantage. Certainly, in justice to the | object of this Academy, it ought not to be lower In the present condition of some parts of our co try It cannot properly be raised. The faithtl car- | rying out of the conditions required by law is es- | sential to maintain and gradually improve the intellectual character of this imstitution, Ip the application of these conditions there if a considerable range wituin | which the terms may be made easy or severe, at the discretion of the examiners. The | Board have been pleased to observe, however, | that in the examinations of this year a fair | medium course has been pursued. The error, if | any, lias certainly not been on the side of extreme | severity. The perfect impartiality of these ex- aminatiens has also been quite manifest. ‘The fact that of 134 appointees so large a number as forty- nine were rejected on the literary examination was a surprise to the Board, as, no doubt, it will be to the country. The Board take occasion to gay, from their own Observation on the spot, that resuit is due not to any undue elevation of the standard of admission, nor to any excessive severity in the examination, but in some cases to THE INCONSIDERATENESS IN MAKING THE. APPOINT- MENTS ; era, to the failure of the appointee to appre- Hate the honor and duty to which he is called; in a few Others, to the lack of facilities {or preliminary such «irs as ‘Dixie,’ “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny” and other airs agreeable to a popular assembly in this latitude, until the hour appointed for the organization of the meet- ing arrived. The stage of the theatre was gayly decorated with national and State bunting and with @ considerable sprinkling of the standars of foreign nations. At nearly eight o'clock the mect- ing Was called to order, and the audience was ad- dressed by Governor Walker, who came down last night from the White Sulphur Springs to preside over the first meeting of the conservatives, In a briefand thrilling speech for Governor Walker, amid the enthusiastic applause of the audience, in- troduced General Kemper, the conservative nomi- | nee for the next Governor of Virginia, General Kem- per’s address was remarkably moderate and conservative in tone. He contended that the questions now before the people of Virginia were purely domestic, nowise cage federal poli- tics and not inviting federal or Northern inter- ference. He claimed for the conservative party the credit of having exceeded all require- ments of federal law in its measures for the ad- vancement of the colored people. General Kemper ledged himself to an impartial and just judgment of the acts of the administra tion and a cordial support of the President in ail Measures promoting the interests of the whole country. General Kemper denounced the speech ot Hughes accepting the republican nomimation as incendiary, and denounced him and his party asso- clates for their purpose to elevate the negro at the expense of the white man. His address concluded with an eloquent peroration, evoning the un- bounded enthusiasm of the immense audience. General Kemper was foliowed by Colonel Withers, the candidate for Lieutenaut Governor, ina speech characterized by a tone and spirit similar to those of his predecessor, Ex-Senator Hunter followed Colonel Withers in & characteristic address, ap- pealing strongly to the convictions and enlisting the sympathies of the strongly‘ anti-republican audience. Other speakers followed Mr. Hunter, and the meeting adjourned atalate hour. The conservatives are well satisfied with this opening demonstration of the canvass on their side. THE MARIETTA COLLISION.

Meeting of the Board of Education—The Coming Battle over Appropriati: for Sectarian Schools—A Bil] for $251 60 fer One Gas Burner—The Law of 1851 and the Charter of 1873 in Conflict—The “Corporate Schools” the Work Before the Board for September. A special meeting of the Board of Education was held at the hall of the Board, in Grand street, yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the President, Mr. William H. Nelson, in the chair. Considerable interest had been excited in regard to thie meet- ing, as it was rumored that a discussion would take place among the members about the everlast- ing supject of sectarian schools, ‘There were thirteen members of the Board present, as fol- lows:—Messrs. Jenkins, Matthewson, Kiamroth, Farr, West, Lewis, Brown, Man, Hoe, Trand, Beardslee, Wetmore and Patterson, one less than is required for a two-thirds vote, so it followed that very little practical business was done by the Board, The meeting was called to consider awards and repairs, and also to hear communica- tions read from the Corporation Counsel and Comptro'ler Green in regard to appropriations for what is known as “CORPORATE SCHOOLS.” The pay rolls of these schools have been sent to the Comptroller, and he sent them back, refusing to make dny payment, on the ground that the sev- enty-fiith section of the charter, passed at the last ‘session of the last Legislature, ordains that no meneys raised by taxation shall be appropriated to the use of religious or denominational schools. ‘The section of the charter referred’ to reads as fol- lows :— WHAT THE CHARTER SAYS. Sxcrion 75.—No money belonging to the city, or city and county of New York, raised by taxation upon the property of the citizens thereof, shall be ‘approprinted in aid of any religious or denominational hool; neither shall any property, real or personal, belonging to said ctly; or said city and county ; be disposed of to any such school, except upon the sale’ thereof at public auction, alter the same has been duly advertised, at which sale such schoois or institutions shall be the highest bidder, and upon payment of the sum so bid into the city treas- ury; neither shall any property belonging to the city or city and county be leased te any school under the con- oor A rein or Serial national inane, = cn ‘ow such terms as is leased to private parties after the same has been duly advertised. 4 in The Comptroller, in his answer to the Board of Education, desired the President to consult the Corporation Counsel in regard to the matter, and the following answer was received and read yes- terday to the members by the Clerk :— NO MONEY TO BE PAID, Law Dzrantwenr, Orrice or Counsx.

Office-Holders and Total-Abstinence Disciples for Ben. aerenvnemsrintt A Mixed Multitude Backing Up the Olaims of the Present Incumbent. . Boston, August 22, 1873, It i8 a mistake to suppose there has yet been much popular commotion in Massachusetts over the squabble for the Governorship. The campaign, on the contrary, has gone on very quictly. Only the politicians themselves have dabbled in it to any very great extent, and even that large and pompous portion of the community has not been so active as the party newspapers in the State would have the people believe. This seeming or actual apathy, however, is only the calm which precedes the storm, That General Butler is to make a bold push for the nomination is everywhere indicated, and the opporition of the Washburn party against bim will probably be even more determined and more for- midable than it was two years ago. The question of who will win ia, at this time, an even one, Neither party is confident, and both will employ all availa- ble means—probably honorable and otherwise—to control, first, the preliminary caucuses, and after- wards, THE NOMINATING CONVENTION AT WORCESTER. Probably the gathering will be the most lively and entertaining political congregation ever as sembled in Massachusetts, and the interest which will attach to the proceedings will partake some- thing of a national character. Butler will, of course, be on the floor himself as a delegate from Gloucedter, and, as in 1871, will attend personally to his own interests, He and his party have many elements‘ of strength which the Washburn faction are too wise to underrate. Months ago the supporters of the Essex statesman were at work, and, although their operations were con- ducted quietly, they were very effectual, Tne State constables, particularly vhose sin and around Boston, were early mustered into the Butler ser- vice, and.their influence with the liquor dealers was transmitted in turn by them to their patrons, and so on and go on, until nearly all the “young ' bloods,” to use @ slang term, were thoroughly tainted with Bhtlerism, and when the time comes their strength and power will undoubtedly be felt in the Boston caucusses. Some three weeks ago the Washburn party discovered how things were gomg in this vicinity, and a dozen or so of the traitorous constables were beheaded. No cauSe was assigued, but the powers that be calculated that the impres- sion would go forth that the discharges were in consequence of the failute of the officers to im- partially enforce the Prohibitory Liquor law. The Commissioners almost admit- ted this at the time, and asserted .that hereafter the law was to be vigorously enforced, without fear or favor in any quarter. This was to be the case, particularly, 80 far as Boston was con- cerned, A whole month has now elapsed. Country oftieers have been imported into the city, several new ones have been appointed, but still the terri- bie rum traffic goes on unmolested, True, a few O’Briens, McCartys and Murphys have been prosecuted and their few quarts of stock confiscated: but the beverage dows as freely as ever at Parker’s, Young’s, the Re- vere, Tremont, ‘Foster's, Ingalis’ and all the other fashionable drinking rooms, The leadin; wholesale dealers, too, are let severely alone, an only now and then a poor Irishman disturbed. This course, alter sO much blustering, creates con- siderable comment, and the story of the removed constables that they were turned out ou account of being aMicted with the Butlerania is quite gene- rally believed, and of vourse it 1s not calculated to redound either to the credit or strength of the Washburn party. WILL THE TEMPERANCE MEN SUPPORT BUTLER ? General Butler’s popularity with the probibition- ists is not as great as the candidate could wish, At South Framingham, On the Fourth of July, the question was squarely put to him whether or not he was in favor of the liquor law, and the distin- guished gentieman answered his interrogator by replying that any man who would interrupt a Fourth of July orator would whistle at a funeral. Then, taking advantage of the momentary laugh created by the reply, he very quietly left the grove. This effectual dodging of the question didn’t go down with the temperance people, and Generali Butler will probably lose numerous votes in consequence, He pleages himself to entorce the prohibitory law if elected, but he can’t be made to say that he believes in it. If he administers the law mht and impartially it will be more than Washburn ‘has ever done, and afew temperance, men will stand by him on that account. "The thought will ‘occur, why are not the liquor cliques opposed to Butler if itis certain that he wtll make.war againt them. Probably a few will go against him on that account, but the majority think that the impartial enforce- Ment of the law will secure its speedy repeal. THE FEDERAL OFFICE-HOLDERS. Of course all the federal office-holders in Boston and in his Congressional district are hearty sup- porters of General Butler, and the influence which they wield not only in their own localities, but throughout the State, is immense. He has Collector Russell and Postmaster Bent on his side, 1, es the Custom House and Post OMice, he will have the help of not only Mayor Pierce, but of nearly the whole sity government, The Mayor, by the way, has en ae for the vacancy caused by the decease of the late Con- ressman we and, of course, if he helps tue General now the latter will give him a liftat the November election. Over South Boston State Senator Johnson is looking out for the Generai’s Welfare, and it is ramored that Colonel Wright, is also about to enter the contest in behalf, If this is true tne South Boston ward will be pretty certain to send a solid Butler delegation to tne Convention. Up in Berkshire county, Mr. Briggs, of Pittsfield, is fighting the battle for the General against Mr. Chickering; and in North Adams Mr. Tinker is the champion against Judge Robinson. The anti-Butierites seem to have the imside track, and unless there is @ marked chan; in. public sentiment the delegates from the extreme western county will 0 almost solid for Washburn.

ES, ‘The Washburn faction became fearful early in the campaign that there “was something rotten in Denmark,” or, in other words, that the State Cen- tral Committee was not sound on the goose. Even Dr. Loring, the chairman, was known to be a But- lerite, several other members were also committed it bie and Others were suspected. An organi- tion in opposition was quickly conceived and 1 gto organized ; but as it would not do bolt openly from the regular committee their operations have been necessarily very fecret. The State Committee—particuarly the Butler members—are not in the best frame of mind at this unusaal "oat and the act has prob- ably hurt Washburn more than it has helped him. The regular committee, instead of being active and industrious, as in years past, has contented itseif with simp! srrang! ig for the Convention. The ‘Ham 1) ers will meet to-morrow for the se of preparing an address to the voters of the State, and it will be a sort of a semi-ofticial argument or reply to THE GENERAL'S SALARY GRAB DEFENCE. The position taken by the Essex Congressman on that question has been of more advantage to him than his opponents are willing to admit. None of the party journals have attempted to answer it in any other manner than with abuse, and his col- league, Mr. Hoar, of Worcester, did not acquit him- sell dttterently. He contented himself with a couple of columns ofcaustic words, finally disposing of the Object of his wrath by Dae pe | him as the embodiment of swi ir, quarrel and failure, The General says some 8) » blunt things occasion- aily, and in this case he pi to carry the war and will invade Mr. into Afric Hoar’s own city some evening next week and deliver his rejoinder from the platform of Mechanics’ Hall. Originally Gen. Butler intended to keep aloof from the stump, but he has finally concluded to make a tour of the State, but not so thoronghly as he did a@ couple of years ago. Me will probably deliver about a dozen addresses altogether, and confine himself to the rincipal cities and to avoiding, of course, Biasex and Middlesex counties, where his strength fa unguestioned, pilgrimage will stimniate the Washburn party to send Dut preachers, and then we shall have fively times ending the day of Convention.
