This and That.

We were in error last week in
saying that Whittemore was ex.
PEELED from the House at Wash
ington. He committed suicide to
escape hanging; in other words,
he resigned to evade expulsion
He sold a cadetship for $500, and
gave the money to establish schools
in his district among the negroes
The House was shocked at such a
profigate waste of greenbacks,
and insisted on the punishment Of
the offender.
Butler, of this State, has not
been expelled, and may not be.
He sold a cadetship for 5000, and
gave all the money to the Radical
cause in the last gubernatorial can.
vass in Tennessee. The House,
to make show of consistency, is
INDUCING in little cheap indig-
nation, but it is very evident that
the outburstS are superficial, and
that no extreme punishment will
be adjudged, if public opinion will
allow a lenient course. There is
a very evident determination to
gloss over his "indiscretion."

H@ Somebody in Kansas
found an iron chest full of gold
coin last Friday week under the
roots of an old tree. There were
nearly six thousand dollars in the
chest. A note explains, that it
had been concealed in 1854 from
the plunderiug military marauders,
abundant there at that period
As the note very literally desired
the finder to keep half the mon
ey, he kept it without hesitation.
The remainder is to be devoted to
charitable purposes, which COM

Selling Cadetships.

line cauelSDlp DTOheIhge QueS-
ton has been undergoing, we are
glad to see, an investigation (if
sincere) before the military commit
tee of the House at Washington.
There is no small amount of pet
ty swindling transacted, in this
and similar matters, at the Nation
al Capital. Men are weak, espe-
cially politicians. and too many
are venal. Proofs of this fact
are to be found, every day, in the
chronicles of every Legislature.
But, "where the carrion is there
will always be found the most
corruption" That brokerage in
the sale of the cadetships has ex-
listed, for many years in Washing
ton, is well known to the initiated.
Indeed, such a practice had be-
come so common as to be con;
sldered a matter of course, and no
gentleman expected to procure a
place for his son at West Point
without the interesting wherewith-
al calculated TO open the eyes Of
the appropriate member of Con-
gress to the peculiar merits of the
would-be government student
The evil has simply been exposed;
that is all. There is nothing new
in the facts resurrected by the
committee in question; but as the
culpable members have been chief
ly such as belonged to some pre-
Vious Congress, they need not trem-
bic in their water-proofs, we fancy
for the consequences. MIR. Whit
temore, however, has been caught
derelict in the present House, and
of course the virtue of that House
could not bleach its skirts without
something by the way of exam
pie. Whittemore, it is alleged,
expended the larger portion of
the FIVE hundred dollars he re-
ceived for the cadetship in a do.
nation to a freedman's society and
the remainder upon a colored
school bis wife taught in his dis
trict. Politically, such ali eXpen-
diture ought, according to the eth
les Of modern partisan morality,
not only to have justified him in
the eyes OF his colleagues, but ell
evated him in the estimation Of
those current statesmen who In.
sist that a negro is better than a
white man, and that his political
interests are always paramount to
those of "the mean white race. "
But fate was against Whittemore,
and he resigned to escape expui-
sion. We fancy, though, that
his constituents will make it all
right with that gentleman when
he gets home, the unpleasant ac-
ton and opinion of the House 10
