RQI'AI.ITY.
For a legislative Ixxly to attempt to
rejjulatt uiMter wjiich belong toso
ciety to settle questions which are
pu rel y- soual. i IwijiUt -vf folly .4
Nothing could be more absurd land sen -less
than the biUreciiUj introduced Into
the Senate by eiiJor AlHaon, of ba,
providing thatIn aiMitloff to'the "nthn
ber of cadets at -West Point, now au
thorized by law, . the President shall
each year appoint two color ed cadets at
larje,'idnce its purpose js t6nforce
social intercourse between the white
and colored cadets. These are matters
which must be left to themselves for.
adjustment, jf social ostrjcim with
the colored man was practiced onlj at
West Point, there might be some
ground for the howl which has been
raised against it, but it exists every
where, and not more at the South than
in the North. Even Senator Allison
himself does notv we rentnre to say,
make Senator Bruce's stay in Washing
ton as pleasant its it might be. The
proposition is, therefore, not only ab1
surd, but thoroughly inconsistent with
the unwritten laws of society.
In savins this much, no reflection is
intended ; to be made on' the colored
people as a race. It is a prejudice
which exists, and which nothing but
time will eradicate; and intelligent col
ored nen know and feel this as well as
the whites, and do not desire the kind
of social intercourse that it is proposed
to bring about by Senator Allison's
bill. Beeeker and other enthusiasts
may cry out against it, but it will do
no good ; the place to bring about re
forms of this ..kind is certainly not
West Point. The only possible result
of enforced association would be to
break up the institution. Of course the
colored people are entitled to all the
benefits and colored cadets to all the
protection which the constitution af
fords, and if the ecent persecution of
Whittaker shall be discovered to have
been done or instigated by students, it
will not be more thoroughly condemn
ed in tho North than in the South; but
if they go there they must abide by the
consequences of the social ostracism
which -will surely follow.
The Philadelphia Record says; "Col
onel Thomas M. Holt, of North Caro-
"lina, who is at present in this city, ex
presses the sentiment of the Democra
cy of bis State as being overwhelm
singly favorable to Mr. Bayard for the
"Presidency. Colonel Holt is a promi
nent and sagacious politician.thorough
"ly familiar with the currents of opin
ion in North Carolina, and his sound
"judgment as a successfull manager of
"large business interests entitles his
"opinions, to; in) smajl weight" Col.
Holt's opinions-re indeed entitled to
weight, and it is true that the Democ
racy of JSorth Carolina are favorable
to the nomination of Mr. Bayard, be
cause they want in the presidential
chair a pure ttnd incorruptible states
man, but if Col. Holt means to say that
Mr. Bayard is at this moment preferred
above all others as a presidential candi
date, we must differ from him. While
conceding to Mr. Bayard every claim to
the suffrages of the party and delight
ing in the praise and commendation of
his character, we sincerely believe that
as between himself and Mr. Seymour,
the party in this State would choose
the latter, because, while presenting
qualities equal to those of Mr. Bayard,
he at the same time possesses the
elements of superior strength with the
party at large. Either would receive
the most earnest and active support of
the Democrats in North Carolina.
"There is no parallel in political his
tory to the remarkable combination of
glfteind; acquirements which is illus
trated bj, Mr. .Qladstone," says the New
York Mail. "He is a great classical
scholar, elif ious polemic of the very
highest order, an enthusiastic and elo
quent defender of the wronged and on
pressed of every race, and, with all, the
ablest of living statesmen on financial
q uestions. In fact, even so lonsr
1853, waen Chancellor of the Exchequer,
msspeecnes pn ine Dudget which he
introduced were said, by Lord Russell,
to contain the ablestexpressions of the
true principles of finance ever delivered
by an English statesman.'"

Probability of a Harmonious Meet
ittfA. Committee Appointed to Ad

Harrisburg, April 28. The Demo
cratic State convention met in the opera
house to-day, all hope of a compromise
between the contending Philadelphia
or Wallace and Randall delegations be
ing at an ena. Matters were very live
ly all the morning in the I hotels and
committee rooms. Great difficulty was
experienced in gaining admission to
the hall of the convention, and a large
number of special doorkeepers were on
hand. Randall's people seem to have
thorough control of all entrances to the
hall, and many visitors received their
ticket of admission before those of the
delegates were issued. So strict were
the doorkeepers that it was impossible
for telegraph messengers t6 Dass in and
out, and great difficulty! was exne-
neiiueu iu reacuing me telegraph ot
fice. When Speaker Randall;entered the
ball he was greeted with tbje most nenr-

ain on the Democratic side in
this
matter, so far as h had anv knowledge.
Senator Bailey, of Tennessee, a member
of the committed on privileges; and
elections, was equally decided in de
nouncing as entirely unfounded any in
sinuation or intimation to the effect
that the Democratic Senators had been
cognizant of 'anv -arrangement or agree
ment by which "Kellogg was 'to retain
his seat without question. Mr. Butler,
of outli Carolinaj demanded to know
of Mr. Blaine if he meant to imply that
hft wasa party to any such agreement,
nnd Mr, Blaine promptly replied in the
negative, and said thafcneither Mr. JJiit-
lernor'Mr: Kellogg could have been
parties to the agi-eemeht,,ag they were
riot then sworn in as membersof the
Senate. .Senator Hill made .atiery and

onutheMRepublicanEttledn rwhicli he
held that all --the ifactstwere: so. notori
ously;, against the right , of Kellogg
to bold- bis seat ..as id scarceJy call
for argument. He stated that the com?
mittee on privileges-: and elections at
the time Mr. Kellogg was admitted "ab
solutely refused to examine witnesses,
although repeatedly besought to do so.
Subsequently Mr. Kellogg denied this
assertion of Mr. Hill, and said that' by
agreement between himself and Mr.
Spofford all the testimony which was
considered material was put in before
tbe committee. Mr. Jxellogg also took
Eainstodeny that there had been any
argain made, so far as he knew, when
he and Mr. Butler were admitted. Mr.
Blaine again renewed his charge that a
bargain had been Ttrade, ami; with char
acteristic ingenuity and disingenuous
nessundei;tQok to torture the debate,
as given in. the official Record, into such
construction as, to sustain his point. As
was said privately on the floor this af
ternoon, Mr. Blaine can only have one
object in insisting on this point, namely,
to drive certain Senators on the Demo
cratic side to vote for the unseating of
Kellogg against their own convictions
of what is right, rather than to yote ac
cording to their conscience and subject
themselves to the imputation of carry
ing out an improper bargain. It is
known that Mr. Blaine and others" on
the Republican side are extremely anx
ious that the Democratic majority shall
unseat Mr. iveliogg, as in that event
they would expect to make an immense
amount of party capital. But it is quite
possible that the Democratic Senators
who do not believe Mr. Kellogg should
be disturbed have sufficient moral cour
age to be indifferent to the insinuations
and inuendoes of Mr. Blaine.
