Commei Exercises icement OF How the Medical Board of West Koine Hot Kid of tlie la.n and Brother.

Forneys Chrynicle, of the 10th inst, tells the story in the following paragraph. The Medical Board appointed to examine applicants for cadetships came to the aid ot the Academy find decided that one of the Fifteenth Amendments was too weak eyed and the other too weak brained. The whole affair says plainly that the negro will not do to live and associate with the white West Pointers. Would it not be more manly and truthful if they would say that West Point Academy was established for the education of the white race, and not for the negro. Why has no free negro in the Northern States been appointed Why were they not appointed years ago The history of the school shows that it was founded for the benefit of the whites, and not for the negroes.

Hear Forneys howl James W. Smith, a young colored man, a native of South Carolina, was appointed a cadet at West Point by the Hon. Mr. Hoge, Representative in Congress from that State. It being discovered af the academy that the young gentleman would, in all probability, go through with his examination in the classics, mathematics, and the other studies required, he was brought before the Medical Board, and rejected on account of weak eyes, and with the true feeling of the old slaveholders, who made the education of the black illegal, he was advised not to study as he would become totally blind in a few years.

It is a remarkable fact that the candidate never before knew he was so near the blind asylum. We very much doubt if, duriDg the war, this boy had been of an age to enter the army, and had been drafted lie would have escaped carrying a musket because of weak eyes. It was undoubtedly a quib -hie unworthy of American soldiers to set aside an able and ambitious youth. Young Smith, we understand, is not inclined to follow the advice so generously tendered, that he postpone his studies. His treatment while waiting his fate at West Point has been must cruel.

His letters were inclosed by the cadet officer, when given out for distribution, with the other nig as he passed along the walks he was hailed as nigger; and, in the words of one who witnessed these proceedings, It was nigger everywhere nothing but nigger, nigger, Howard, another colored boy, has already passed what is called the physical examination, but it is thought that he will certainly fail in the mental that is, he will not be allowed to pass We refer to these thiDgs with equal pain and shame.

The coming campaign will be one ot the most important and excitim: that has occurred for years, involving, as it does, the political status of the state lor the next four years, and perhaps for all time. To remove from place the party now in power, the followers and upholders of which are living, and fattening off the very vitals ol the people, should be the object of every true man in the Slate, and there is no better way to do it than to circulate freely among the people papers which will expose and hold them up to the condemnation which their conduct so richly deserves.

We intend to make Ths Times a live DEMOCRATIC PAPER, And call upon friends throughout the State to aid ns in extending its circulation. Five Dollars WILL GET TEN COPIES, Only Fifty Cents Eacli.

The Railroad Kings In Council. On Saturday last an event of leading importance occurred in this city. There assembled at the bank parlor ot the Central railroad the President of three lines of trunk roads in this State and Alabama. By previous appointment, Mr. Pollard, of the Montgomery and West Point road; Hon.

J. P. King, of the Georgia, and Mr. Wadley, of the Central road, met to confirm and arrange the results ot long nego tiation, by which it was sought to secure to the two latter equal privileges in the use of the Montgomery and West Point road, which is the only link now wanting to connect, the waters of the Savannah with those ot the Mississippi. At an early day, with comprehensive and wise policy, the Central road determined to aid the Selma link by endorsing its bonds.

The Qtorgia road did not accept this policy until recently. The meeting ot Saturday finally concluded the arrangement, by which the two roads assumed equal obligations and secured equal advantages. This subject has lieretolore been alluded to in the annual reports of the companies. Last week, as we learn from the Montgomery Evening Mail, the Montgomery and West Point road was consolidated with the Selma. The Selma link may be regarded as completed by the 1st of September next.

At that period Augusta and Savannah will be in direct, uninterrupted connection with Vicksburg. The Evening Mail remarks on the completion of this important link, that without the timely and continued aid of the Central road it could not have been secured. Savannah Republican, 14 th. Who Will be Mext PresWent The Radicals are amusing themselves by selecting the Democratic candidate for 1872, and name Chase, Hoffman, Groes-beck, Pendleton and Hancock. All these are capable and good men, and any one of them will make a far better President than Gen.

Grant, who will probably be renominated by the Radicals. What the country now needs is a high-toned, national, constitutional, far-seeing man. one above tricks, sections, hatreds and prejudices, and for the whole country a man who can comprehend that the war is over and that we are again ot and for one country, and the best interests of the whole people.

Effect of the Schenck Tariff! The New York World presents two brief tables, exhibiting the effect of the tariff which was offered in the House of Representatives by Mr. Schenck, and has passed that body, of the gain and loss per capita to the country, and also the gain to the protected monopolists, and the loss to the revenue under the duties it levies. On tea, the reduction is 5 cents per pound, with a corresponding gain per capita to the consumers, and a loss of $2,000,000 to the revenue; in coffee the reduction is 1 per cent, per pound, the gain to consumers 5 cents, the loss to the revenue on sugar, the res duction is 1 cent per pound, the gain to the consumers per capita, 25 cents, the loss to revenue on molasses the reduction is 3 cents per gallon, the gain per capita to consumers 4 cents, the loss to revenue on spices the gain per capita to consumers 4 cents, the loss to revenue $1,000,000. The gains per capita are annual, and the loss to the revs enue sums up to $16,900,000. On two protected articles it is shown that the gain to monopolists will be accompanied by a loss to the revenue of $2,309,264.

These articles are cotton goods not otherwise provided for, upon which the loss to revenue will be $730,342 and the estimated consumption $10,000,000 foreign and domestic, yielding a gain to the monopolists, at enhanced duties, ot 3,000,000 at 30 per and a loss per capita annnally to consumers ot 7 cents and steel rails, on which the revenue will lose $1,579,022, the estimated consumption of foreign and domestic, 200,000 tons, with a gain to the monopolists in the article of $6,000,000 at 38 per and an annual loss to consumers of 16 cents per capita. The total loss to revenue on those articles will be $2,309,364, and a gain to the monopolists of $9,600,000. There are some 46,600 miles of railroads in the country which will need to be re-laid with steel rails, in the next few vears. It requires 100 tons of rail-to the mile, and therefore 200,000 tons wouid be required for only 2000 miles annually. We have shown in these columns that the extra tax to supply the necessary quantity of steel rails for this great object, so near ly concerning the internal commerce and passenger transportation of the country, at the enhanced protective duty in favor of some halt dozen owners of the Besses mer steel patent, would be not less than $180,000,000 for ten years.

So from that estimate being too high, we incline the belief that it will be found by experience to be much too low. Besides relaying the roads already in nse, steel rails will be required for many additional thousands of miles wf new roas, thus swelling to still more enormous figures, the heavy burdon upon the enterprise, industry and passenger transportation of 'the entire country, to fill to repletion the pockets of a little sqnad of half a dozen specially favored individuate. This is providing for the general welfare in a most peculiar mode, but it appeals that Cons gress regards the only general welfare as that of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

No judgment can be arrested, annulled, or set aside for any matter not previously objected to, if the complaint contains substantial cause of action. 3d. A complaint upon a bill ofexebange in the name of the payee therein, which is made ior so many dollars, payable in specie or its equivalent, which is in substantial conforfhity with the form prescribed in the revised Code, is sufficient to sustain a judgment by default. 3d. A judgment by a default on such a complaint may be entered by the Clerk under the direction of the Court for debt interest and damages, without the intervention of a jury.

4tb, But it such judgment is entered for too great a sum of interest, and dams ages, it will be corrected in this Court and affirmed for the propel amount at the appellants costs. 5tli. Such judgment is sufficient if entered for simple dollars, instead of specie dollars, if made without objection of the complainant. It cannot injure the defendant. Judgment of Circuit Court reduced and affirmed.
