conclu. ed on the following day. The ex-
aiming Board consisted Of Prof J. K.

Prof. Samuel Calvin, of Dubuque; DR.. L.
Armstrong, of West Union, and Rev.
VIM. Smith, of DEBORAH. Hon. NJ. L.
Fisher, the other member of the commit
tee was not able TO be present. The can
didatcs for examination numbered thir-
teen, ten Of whom were aspirants for the
West Point cadetship, and three for that

most thorough and systematic, and de
mOnstrated the eminent fitness Of the
committee fol their work. They embraced
Written and Oral Arithmetic, Grammar,
Geography, United States History and
Reading Almost without exception the
young gentlemen acquitted themselves
admirably, and the record Of standing is
very uniform and high. After patient
weighing of the qualifications of the sew.
cral candidates. the choice of the commit
tee fell upon Alfred J. Hodges, OF this city,
for the West Point appointment, and
James Hethcrington. Of Dubuque. for the
Annapolis appointment. The presence Of
young Kennedy. the colore': boy from De-
corah, as contestant r the Naval cadet
ship, was circumstance of some inter-
est to all concerned, us well as outsiders;
and he did not lack for good wishes for
his success. 1t is to his credit that lie
was NOT the lowest in the scale of scholar
ship.
Young Hodges, the successful candi

|. A COMMUNICATION of considerable
length from Hon. j. NJ. Hovey appears
in the columns of the (onserp tee this
week, relative to a personal matter, invol
wing questions of veracity end personal
honor between himself and Mr. Spangler,
Representative elect. Regarding the
merits Of the controversy, we know moth
ing, nor do we propose to take SIDES in it.
We may, however. be peNjtted to cx-
press our regrets that anything should
have occurred to'mur the friendship of
gen tlemcn, both of whom We have ever
regarded with respect and confidence.
We are persuaded that the unfortunate
Misunderstanding may be explained on
some other hypothesis than that which
would reflect dishonor upon either party.
and it is perhaps unfortunate for both
that the document upon which the whole
controversy rests is lost or destroyed or
at least not producahic, as we understand
is the case. Men are apt t. say and do
things in the heat Of a political excite
ment like that through which we have
Just passed. which their cooler judgment
will disapprovc. and we think that this is
undoubtedly case of this kind
