Samp- son. superintendent of the United States Naval Academy, shows that the total number of cadets now at the Academy Is Two cadets were dis¬ missed for hazing, one in March last and one at the termination of the practice cruise. Three cases of hazing occurred during September on boar l theSantee, but In view of the mildness of the offense the 2ourt did not recommend the dis¬ missal of the offenders. No cruel or degrading in¬ stance of hazing has taken place for a long period. The strict construction placed upon the law, says the superintendent, has effectually Suppressed the tendency to this offense, and It is his Intention to bring to trial every form ot hazing, no matter how trifling. The superintendent refers to the state¬ ment of the commandant of cadets criticizing the plan of detailing lftO or more general service men ever} year for the practice cruise, and concurs with the suggestion of the commandant that a smaller ship than the Constellation, with a full complement of sailors, petty officers, with perhaps twenty seamen, would be preferable. These men, he says, should be permanently attached to the Academy, as they have a great Influence, even upon the moral char¬ acter ot the cadets, not to mention their many Importanl functions in assisting the young men In learning their profession. Tue superintendent state, that of the ililrty-onc members of the class graduated In June, twenty were admitted to the sen Ice and eleven honorably discharged. He sug¬ gests that l hose cadets who fall to obtain posi¬ tions In the naval service after graduation are well (juallfleil tor positions In the revenue service Thin, he believes, would result In economy and might be arranged between the two departments interested without legislation. In addition to the usual estimates of appropriation for the Naval Academy the superintendent recommends the ap¬ propriation of $!i?-~i,000 for a practice Vessel. At¬ tention Is also called to the needs ot the Academy in t lie matter of ordnance and machinery. It is stated that adequate rifle practice Is not possible for want of suitable guns, nor Is there a single ex¬ ample of a modem marine engine accessible for tue instruction ot the cadets. An estimate of $1 (ft,000 is submitted for the purchase of live acres of land adjacent to the Academy. Joyful \«'\v York Di'iuncrala.

A VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT SAYS IT WILL BE DIFFERENT NEXT YEAR. A star reporter to-day asked Mr. J. It. Fisher, assistant postmaster of the House of Kepresenta- tlves, and one of the active democratic leaders of Virginia, If the fact that the republicans had ob- t alned a majority on the popular vote in that state at the recent election alarmed the democrats as to the result next year. "No," he replied, "I don't think there is any reason lor us to feel alarmed. In fact," he con¬ tinued, "I am not surprised that the republicans have a small majority on the popular vote. You see in the heavy republican counties and legisla¬ tive districts our voters did not attempt 10 do any¬ thing. All through the black district, where the negroes are In a majority of 10,Ot*), the democrats ilid not turn out. They could not possibly elect their legislative candidates,therefore there was no inducement for litem to turn out.

He Defends HI* Course m Comnlf ¦toner and Tender* His Resignation. .¦¦missionor Sparks, of the General Land office, has forwarded his resignation to the President, and In connection therewith he made reply to the recent letter of secretary Lamar, demanding his resignation. In this communication the Commis¬ sioner explains Uls course in the matters com¬ plained of by Secretary Lamar. He says that In pursuance of law vesting the Commissioner with such authority, he, previous to last September, made adjustments of certain railroad land grants, two of which, known as the Omaha cases, he had been specially directed by the Secretary to report, on the 7th of October the secretary non-concurred in the commissioner's adjustment, and overruled the authority on which they were based, lie also directed that the grants be ad- Justed In conformity with his (the Secretary's) de¬ cision. The point at Issue related to the claim of railroad companies to ldemnity for lands that under railroad-granting acts were reserved from the operation 01 those acts by express terms of the statutes. Mr. sparks states that previous to 1K7"> "in pursuance of a practice of giving railroad companies whatever ti.ey asked for" lands that had been reserved by the Government for Indian and other purposes, and which were excluded from grants, had been patented or certified to railroad com¬ panies, both as granted lands aud as Indemnity promiscuously with other lands, but In that year (1875) the title to a large Quantity of such lands In Kansas, which had been conveyed to the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston railroad, was decreed invalid by the United Slates supreme court, and since that time lands that were re¬ served at date of grant or at date of the definite location of the roads have been regarded and treated in the land offlce as excluded, not only from grants but from the Indemnity basis under all grants wherein such reserved lands are by the terms of the law excluded from the operation of the acts. In theomaha cases, continues .Mr. Sp.irks, the Secretary held that the company was entitled to indemnity for such lands. This decision, it ad¬ hered to, th-i Land Commissioner maintains will have the elTect to take from the people many mil¬ lions of acres of land within railroad Indemnity limits which, according to the President s ruling In the Guilford-Miller case, have been proclaimed as restored to the public domain. The commis¬ sioner says he regarued the question of the cor¬ rectness of the secretary's decisions as of mo¬ mentous concern, as. If they were correct, the lands involved belonged to the railroads; If not correct, the lands belonged to the people. Mr. Sparks refers to the Supreme court deci¬ sions upon which the Secretary based his decisions, and holds that they do not warrant such conclusions. Hence he was "pro- lounuly convinced that the secretary had been committed to errors of law, which. If brougnt fully to his personal attention, might be corrected." As it is the practice of the Department to permit rep¬ resentatives of railroad companies and other pri¬ vate Interests to apply for reviews and reconsid¬ erations of decisions when questions are decided against such interests, he (Mr. Sparks) thought that, as an officer of the Government having Im¬ mediate guardianship of public lands, had at least equal right with railroad lawyers and others to ask the secretary to re-examine a departmental decision, and he believed he had a right to express his views in the cases. He waited upon the secretary and personally requested a review of the cases. The secretary suggested that the matter be permitted to rest tor awhile. Ou the 10th lnsu, tue Commissioner says, he received a note from the Secretary, desiring him to present what he had to say, and on the next day the commissioner's views, in writing, were presented to the head ot the Department. The Commissioner maintains that the communication of the Secretary, declar¬ ing that either the commissioner or Secretary must retire, Is no answer to the request for a re¬ view ot the case; that the Issue raised by him (Mr. Sparks) was strictly a legal one, while the published letter of the Secretary creates the "erroneous impression that the issue was one of authority alone," and that he had refused to ex¬ ecute tlu' secretary's orders. He declares that the ..diversion of the issue from one of legal construc¬ tion to one of authority and insubordination is the substitution or force lor argument." In closing his letter to the President Mr. Sparks says: "Tho office of Commissioner of the General L«nrt office has been one of intense labor. Impos¬ ing a constant senseuf high responsibility. Hav¬ ing sought It at your hands I have continued to hold it only out of a sense of duty, with a view of effecting some good to the public. I have en¬ deavored to discharge my full duty In It, In the face cf many discouragements aud much calumny and abuse from uiose whose Interests were to defeat the policies pursued. I have believed my line of action to be correct, and thought I had reason for the belief that it met your approval. If these decisions foreshadow a change in official policy on this subject, knowing well what this will mean In practical application, I could not, of course, with my sense of duty, be the instrument to effect the change. Having ever, as now, re¬ garded the commission I hold from you as subject 10 your recall, and desiring to relieve you of any possible embarrassment, I herewith tender you my resignation of tho office of Commissioner of the General Land Office, and ask its early accept¬ ance. And in thus severing my connection with your administration I beg to assure you of my earnest wish that the same wisdom, firmness, and Integrity which has thus iar so eminently marked your administration may continue to enhance you in the estimation ot your countrymen."

He fairly rained blows upon Carney's eyes, jaw, and ribs, and the Briton seemed to hare become very angry, but. recovering himself, used more cautious tactics. At this point odds of two to one were offered on McAullffe, who had so far shown him¬ self to be In as prime condition as his antagonist, notwithstanding his recent illness. Carney, be¬ coming des(»-rate when the tweirth round opened, made a savage rush at McAullffe, who met It with a hard blow on the right eye, and followed with a terrific right-hander on the bridge of Carney's nose, which split that organ open, and caused tne blood to tly. A claim oi first blood for McAu¬ llffe was then allowed. The fighting after this was heavy, and both men were badly punished.

THE JIAVAL ACADEMY.

Rptoniino^^liona made by Superln*trndent lMp»vu-llaziuf KilcclnallfSupprea««d.Tlie annual report of Commander W. T. Samp-

son. superintendent of the United States NavalAcademy, shows that the total number of cadetsnow at the Academy Is Two cadets were dis¬missed for hazing, one in March last and one atthe termination of the practice cruise. Threecases of hazing occurred during September onboar l theSantee, but In view of the mildness ofthe offense the 2ourt did not recommend the dis¬missal of the offenders. No cruel or degrading in¬stance of hazing has taken place for a long period.The strict construction placed upon the law, saysthe superintendent, has effectually Suppressed thetendency to this offense, and It is his Intention tobring to trial every form ot hazing, no matter howtrifling. The superintendent refers to the state¬ment of the commandant of cadets criticizing theplan of detailing lftO or more general service menever} year for the practice cruise, and concurswith the suggestion of the commandant that asmaller ship than the Constellation, witha full complement of sailors, petty officers,with perhaps twenty seamen, would bepreferable. These men, he says, shouldbe permanently attached to the Academy, as theyhave a great Influence, even upon the moral char¬acter ot the cadets, not to mention their manyImportanl functions in assisting the young men Inlearning their profession. Tue superintendentstate, that of the ililrty-onc members of the classgraduated In June, twenty were admitted to thesen Ice and eleven honorably discharged. He sug¬gests that l hose cadets who fall to obtain posi¬tions In the naval service after graduation arewell (juallfleil tor positions In the revenue serviceThin, he believes, would result In economy andmight be arranged between the two departmentsinterested without legislation. In addition to theusual estimates of appropriation for the NavalAcademy the superintendent recommends the ap¬propriation of $!i?-~i,000 for a practice Vessel. At¬tention Is also called to the needs ot the Academyin t lie matter of ordnance and machinery. It isstated that adequate rifle practice Is not possiblefor want of suitable guns, nor Is there a single ex¬ample of a modem marine engine accessible fortue instruction ot the cadets. An estimate of$1(ft,000 is submitted for the purchase of live acresof land adjacent to the Academy.

Joyful \«'\v York Di'iuncrala.REPRESENTATIVES WHO LOOK FOR A LOPiO CON¬

TINUANCE OF T11E DEMOCRACY IN POWER.Representatives Merrlman, Stahlnecker and

Campbell, of New York, are in the city. They areall overjoyed at the result of the election In theEmpire state, and express confidence In the futuresuccess of the democratic party. "It Is all comingout Just as I have expected all along," .Mr. Camp-Iwll said to a Star reporter. "Now, In 'BH, Mr.Cleveland will be re-elected President and Mr.Hill re-elect'-d governor of New York, and thedemocratic party win be In iwwer many years."

A VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT SAYS IT WILL BE DIFFERENTNEXT YEAR.

A star reporter to-day asked Mr. J. It. Fisher,assistant postmaster of the House of Kepresenta-tlves, and one of the active democratic leaders ofVirginia, If the fact that the republicans had ob-t alned a majority on the popular vote in thatstate at the recent election alarmed the democratsas to the result next year."No," he replied, "I don't think there is any

reason lor us to feel alarmed. In fact," he con¬tinued, "I am not surprised that the republicanshave a small majority on the popular vote. Yousee in the heavy republican counties and legisla¬tive districts our voters did not attempt 10 do any¬thing. All through the black district, where thenegroes are In a majority of 10,Ot*), the democratsilid not turn out. They could not possibly electtheir legislative candidates,therefore there wasno inducement for litem to turn out. Hul nextyear it will be different; then every vote win count,and all the democrats will turn out. We have amajority ot the votersof the State, and can alwavscarry It when we get our vole out. Our only dlhl-ctilty is to accomplish that. But n \t year, witha Presidential election on hand, and the politicalenthusiasm It naturally arouses, the democrats ofVirginia will vote. I hav« no tear about the stale.'

JIH. SPARKS WILL LEAVE.He Defends HI* Course m Comnlf¦toner and Tender* His Resignation..¦¦missionor Sparks, of the General Land office,

has forwarded his resignation to the President,and In connection therewith he made reply to therecent letter of secretary Lamar, demanding hisresignation. In this communication the Commis¬sioner explains Uls course in the matters com¬plained of by Secretary Lamar. He says that Inpursuance of law vesting the Commissioner withsuch authority, he, previous to last September,made adjustments of certain railroad land grants,two of which, known as the Omaha cases, he hadbeen specially directed by the Secretaryto report, on the 7th of October the secretarynon-concurred in the commissioner's adjustment,and overruled the authority on which they werebased, lie also directed that the grants be ad-Justed In conformity with his (the Secretary's) de¬cision. The point at Issue related to the claim ofrailroad companies to ldemnity for lands thatunder railroad-granting acts were reserved fromthe operation 01 those acts by express terms of thestatutes. Mr. sparks states that previous to1K7"> "in pursuance of a practice of givingrailroad companies whatever ti.ey asked for"lands that had been reserved by theGovernment for Indian and other purposes,and which were excluded from grants,had been patented or certified to railroad com¬panies, both as granted lands aud as Indemnitypromiscuously with other lands, but In that year(1875) the title to a large Quantity of such landsIn Kansas, which had been conveyed to theLeavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston railroad,was decreed invalid by the United Slates supremecourt, and since that time lands that were re¬served at date of grant or at date of the definitelocation of the roads have been regarded andtreated in the land offlce as excluded, not onlyfrom grants but from the Indemnity basis underall grants wherein such reserved lands are by theterms of the law excluded from the operation ofthe acts. In theomaha cases, continues .Mr. Sp.irks,the Secretary held that the company was entitledto indemnity for such lands. This decision, it ad¬hered to, th-i Land Commissioner maintains willhave the elTect to take from the people many mil¬lions of acres of land within railroad Indemnitylimits which, according to the President s rulingIn the Guilford-Miller case, have been proclaimedas restored to the public domain. The commis¬sioner says he regarued the question of the cor¬rectness of the secretary's decisions as of mo¬mentous concern, as. If they were correct, thelands involved belonged to the railroads; If notcorrect, the lands belonged to the people. Mr.Sparks refers to the Supreme court deci¬sions upon which the Secretary based hisdecisions, and holds that they do notwarrant such conclusions. Hence he was "pro-lounuly convinced that the secretary had beencommitted to errors of law, which. If brougnt fullyto his personal attention, might be corrected." Asit is the practice of the Department to permit rep¬resentatives of railroad companies and other pri¬vate Interests to apply for reviews and reconsid¬erations of decisions when questions are decidedagainst such interests, he (Mr. Sparks) thoughtthat, as an officer of the Government having Im¬mediate guardianship of public lands, had at leastequal right with railroad lawyers and others toask the secretary to re-examine a departmentaldecision, and he believed he had a right to expresshis views in the cases. He waited upon thesecretary and personally requested a review of thecases. The secretary suggested that the matterbe permitted to rest tor awhile. Ou the 10th lnsu,tue Commissioner says, he received a note fromthe Secretary, desiring him to present what he hadto say, and on the next day the commissioner'sviews, in writing, were presented to the head otthe Department. The Commissioner maintainsthat the communication of the Secretary, declar¬ing that either the commissioner or Secretarymust retire, Is no answer to the request for a re¬view ot the case; that the Issue raisedby him (Mr. Sparks) was strictly a legal one,while the published letter of the Secretary createsthe "erroneous impression that the issue was oneof authority alone," and that he had refused to ex¬ecute tlu' secretary's orders. He declares that the..diversion of the issue from one of legal construc¬tion to one of authority and insubordination is thesubstitution or force lor argument."In closing his letter to the President Mr. Sparks

says: "Tho office of Commissioner of the GeneralL«nrt office has been one of intense labor. Impos¬ing a constant senseuf high responsibility. Hav¬ing sought It at your hands I have continued tohold it only out of a sense of duty, with a viewof effecting some good to the public. I have en¬deavored to discharge my full duty In It, In the facecf many discouragements aud much calumnyand abuse from uiose whose Interests were todefeat the policies pursued. I have believed myline of action to be correct, and thought I hadreason for the belief that it met your approval.If these decisions foreshadow a change in officialpolicy on this subject, knowing well what thiswill mean In practical application, I could not, ofcourse, with my sense of duty, be the instrumentto effect the change. Having ever, as now, re¬garded the commission I hold from you as subject10 your recall, and desiring to relieve you of anypossible embarrassment, I herewith tender youmy resignation of tho office of Commissioner ofthe General Land Office, and ask its early accept¬ance. And in thus severing my connection withyour administration I beg to assure you of myearnest wish that the same wisdom, firmness, andIntegrity which has thus iar so eminently markedyour administration may continue to enhanceyou in the estimation ot your countrymen."
