APPOINTMENT OF CoMPTRoLLER.-TheW all street
clique are still endeavoring to produce an impress
sion that Mr.. Blatchford is TO have the Office of
Comptroller The express" Of yesterday had a pa
ragraph endorsing the pretensio ions and qualifications
Of Mr.. b., for which it, doubt, will receive a
handsome bonus. The Truths, there is a special
aud peculiar degree Of unitness and mpropriety in
the proposed selection. Mr.. Bla chord is the agent
Of the Bank Of England, and the mere tool Of the
Bank o., the CRited States, and il woald be AN out
rage public opinion, 10 give such a the con-
troll Of the finances of the State. He is mixed up
and blended with the concerns OF the bankrupt in
sttutions all the country and if the prepcs-
ferrous idea Of making the appointment is carried out,
we shall have the corrupt financial system which
has paraly zed the energies and blasted tho credit Of
other States, introduced here, and New York will
soon he included in the same disgraccful category
with Pennsylvania. Asto the qualifications of Mr..
Blatchford, they are all embraced in small talent
for intrigue, and acapacity for getting ost Of diff.
Guilty himself and leaving his coadjut and friends
in the lurch. His skill in the latter kind was sig
nally displayed in his connection with Rathburn.
lie was the confidential agent ofthat asute fnancier
and assisted him in the management Of his concerns,
until his mode Of raising the wind was exploded,
and then Mr. Biatchford testified against his former
patron, and Rathburn, in consequence, Is now rus
ticating at the expense ofthe State at Auburn.

CoURr OF Inquiry At WEST PoIST-SrRASoE
DEvELoPIM OF MORALS IL THE
AcApKMy---FUN IN ASrIciPArIoS.---A court Of
inquiry is now holding at the West Point Aca-
deny TO investigate the condition of the insti.
tuition. In January last DR.. Adams, professor Of
ethics, and Chaplain in The West Point Academy,
obtained from various authentic sources, some Gu
rious and alarming facts in relation TO the moral and
religious state of the institution. r. Adams mme-
diatey communicated the facts to Major Deisfield,
the superintendent with the express stipulation that
neither his that of his informant, was to be
mentioned in any contingency But Major Delaield
doubling the truth of the statement transmitted the
information TO Mr. Poinsett. An angry corresPon-
dence ensued between the Secretary and MIR. Adams,
and the whole resulted in court ofinquiry, consist
ing of Gen Scott, Adj. Gen. Jones, Col. Cross, and
Capt De Hart, to investigate the present moral and
eligious condition of the Academy.
The cow ened on the 18th inst and they have
just entered upon their abors. Witnesses have been
summoned from Massachusetts, Virginia, and Flo
rida. The examination has thus far been confined
princ paly 10 the domestics and subordinate officers
Of the Academy. Strange disclosures expected
when the cadets called upon to testify.
One witness stated that he had seen in camp, from
three-fourths TO four-fifths Of company C.. drunk
that tent opposite to the one he occupied he
sisted the steward of the hospital to turn a cadet
over upon his face, so As to save him from stran-
Cling in his own vomit On the same occasion he
helped to tie another cadet to prevent ha from
juring his neighbors.
Another witness testified, that on Christmas eve.
few hours after the burial of Cadet Heath, he had
seen than half of the cadets drunk and that all
the cadets, with the exception of some dozen fiji.
teen, INDUCED in profane language.
Ii was also stated in evidence, that the cadets
usually barter their blankets and other bedding 70
liquor, tobacco and CT ars. dozen witness swore
that naughty women were frequently introduced
into the cadets quarters, and altogether, far as
morality is concerned the institution is going to the
devil with quick and long strides.
We shall keep an eye on the investigation, and il
any thing curious or instructive is developed, we
shall apprise the public Of it,
