In q late speech in the Senate, Gen. Houston, o!
Texas, boldly affirmed that appointments TO the
United States Military aud Naval Academies, are
Row made with reference to political patronage,
aud not to the merit of the applicant. "No mat

may be, II he has no political iufuence-ifh he has
no friends--if he has no patronage with which to
reeiprocate patronage, he is neglected and over
looked. The members of Congress, in sci, citing
individuals from their districts for these academies
are guided by an eye to policy. Who among
these candidates will bring me the greatest SUI
port In my district" Is the question. No matter
how stupid boy may be, If he has influence to
back his application, he is selected by a member
and sent 10 West Point Academy, where he 1,
