The West Point Debate.

Mr.. Randall (Pa.) chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations) replied
to the criticisms made on the bill ia
Thursdays debate, and disclaimed all
desire to embarrass the efficiency of
the West Point Academy. If he thought
that the bill would have this effect he
would not advocate it. He showed
that under this bill the pay and emol-
uments of the senior professors would
be "a 900 year, and of the junior pro-
fessors $4 100, and he thought that that
was fair and liberal. These professors
had advantage over professors at other
colleges, in the fact that in their old
age they had the privilege Of being re-
tired on three.fourths pay. The pro-
position stripped of all Its difficulties
was. whether "a, 900 year was suffi-
Client for the senior professors, and
81, 900 year for the junior professors.
Passing on to the question of the pay
of cadets he showed that the increase
made in 1857 was only in the shape of
the allowance of an additional ration,
and he claimed that in point of fact
the cadet had no interest in the mat
ter, inasmuch as his entire pay went
to his support. and none of it ever
went into his pocket, except that at
the end of his four years. term, $96.
(being the saving of 50 per month),
was given to him for the purchase of a
military suit. There was not the
slightest feeling on the part of the
committee to interfere in any particu.
lar with those young men. He wanted
to repel the idea that there had been
any purpose on tie part of the COM
mittee to embarrass the administration
of West Point Academy, which had
shed so much honor on the country
The committee had taken some trou-
BILE to find out the allowance to militia.
ry cadets in France, Prussia and Eng.
land. At the Polytechnic School 10
France the pay ran up high, but the av-
erage pay of military cadets in France
was $3.50. In Prussia it was less, the
maximum not being much above $120,
and running down In some schools to
S55. In England, so far as the COM
mittee was Informed, the pay was less
than s400.

At Toledo wcll-laid plan to rob the

Of weatl Y men who had harvested ample
fortunes IRON their countries woe or had
acquired them by inheritance, and taxpa,-
ers OF the land should not have their bur
dens increased for this object.
Mr. Hewitt of New York spoke in sup
port Of the bill mn in opposition TO the
views expressed ly his colleague. He di !
not believe his colleague represented the
sentiment of his constituents in the posi-
ton which he took against this bill and lac
was sure that he himself p Ike the honest
sentiment of his own constituents, when
he said that there was not man Of them
them who would not gladly contribute the
additional three and half cents which the
passage of the bill would impose on his
individual head. The debate was further
continued by Mr.. Kelly of Pennsylvania,
and Mr.. Chitteuden Of New York. without
taking any action on any bill the commit
tee rose.
Mr.. Williams Of Wisconsin introduced
proposed amendment to the constitution,
which was referred. 1t is supplementary
to an amendment proposed by Mr.. Blaine,
which prohibits the distribution or control
of any school fund or school lands to or by
sectaran schools, and is designed to extend
prohibition, it is in these words: neither
shall money raised by taxation in any state
be appropriated for the maintenance of any
sectarian school or sectarian institution.
The house then at 5 o'clock adjourned.

The Sawyer-Haines Fraudulent Cot
ton Claims.
New York, Jan. Is.

New York, Jan. Is.
The papers in the alleged fraudulent cot
ton case, in which F. p. Sawyer, ex-assls-
tant secretary of the treasury, and w. T.
Haines, the former commissioner of Gus
toms, are implicated, have been trans
mitted by the treasury department to the
grand jury. The action of the jury is ex-
pected this week. The law officers of the
government are confident that indictments
will be found against both of the exotic
ials. The history OF the case, if the facts
as alleged are proved, showa most astound
ing corruption. 1t appears that during the
war, private persons were intrusted with
the sale of government bonds. One Of
these, an old friend of Mr.. Sawyer, sold
$50, 900 of bonds and took worthless com
mercial paper to pay TOR them. To REIN
burse himself for this deficiency the worth
less cotton, which is the basis Of the pend
ing investigation, was revived aud paid.
The loss on the bonds was $50, 000. I'll,
amount of the alleged fraudulent claims
was 500 600. The claim was in its nature,
it is said, fraudulent, and if il had been
valid it was barred ny the statute OF limta
tioDs. The claim was duly filed in the
treasury department, under Secretary Rich
ardson 1t was referred by Secretary Rich
ardson to Solicitor Banfield, with inslruc-
tions to examine it. Mr.. Banfield, it i.
commonly known, did examine it, and was
ready to report against it, The papers
were then suddenly and mysteriously taken
by somebody from Mr.. b infeld's room to
the office of Mr.. Sawyer assistant score
tary. The papers were then evidently al
tered or forged by somebody, in some way
50 that the order Of Secretary Ricla d,ol
to examine them was made to read ike al
approval The papers were then taken I,
Mr.. lialnes, Commissioner If customs, an,
