Tho Washington correspondent Of tho
New York Hsrdld says In relation to the In
yeGtlEatlon Of the sale Of eadetShIps,
"In the progress Of the investigation the
committee have aseertained, 1t iS alleged,
that one Landon made business Of dealing
In cndetshlpe. He went to the War and
Navy Departments and ascertained where
there were vacancies, and then wrote letters
to the parties who had the power to nomI.
nate cadets. In the meantime he would
discover PERSONS who were anxious TO send
their soma TO West Point or Annapolis and
make propositions TO them, often obtaining
large sums Of money. At least so II Is al
legged by member OF the Military Committee.
Charges were made by both Whlttemore
aud Ben. Butler against certain members Of
the Committee on Military Affairs TO the
effect that they had been engaged In tho
buslness Of selling cadetshlps. Tho parties
indicated were Joel +. Asper, of Missouri,
and Mr.. HOgo, of South Carolina. The
committee at once instituted an inyestlga-
tion Into the cases Of these gentlemen.
General Aspor stated that he had received
letter from Landon asking the appointment
General Asper replied that he would DO In
Washington soon, when he would see him.
General Asper laid the correspondence be-
fore the committee, which ended the mat
ter, as there was nothing In It. -
"ln Hoge's case II appears that Hoge APP
pointed boy from his district to the Naval
Academy, who passed the examination. In
the meantime the boys brother died, and
his mother refused 70 let him go, he being
her only son. Hoge had promised admiral
Porter 10 appoint a son OF Commander Up
shur, OF the navy, In case the boy from his
district failed 10 paAs the requisite examlna-
tioH. Landon happened to get wind OF these
facts, and he Immediately set about 10 make
something out Of them.
"Ho went TO Commander Upshur and rep
resented that for VI 800 Hoge's boy would
get out OF the way, and then his (Upahur's)
son could be appointed. Upshur paid the
money, and his son was appointed. II was
shown to the satisfaction OF the COMMITTEES
that OF this whole transaction HoKe was
perfectly ignorant. Tho frst he knew Of II
was that young Upshur was at the Naval
Academy, and that the boy from his dis.
trlet had Withdrawn. This set Hogo all
right, and the committee was purged Of
suspicion"
