HAzING AT ANNAPOLIS.

Much having been said in the pa.
pers regarding the reported merciless
hazing Of new naval cadets ut Annap.
oils, by the older ones, we publish
the following letter from Rear Ad-
miral Rodgers, Superintendent U. s.
Naval Academy, to Hon. VIM. Hunt,
Secretary Of the Navy, which throws
a good deal of light on the subject:
SIR--As exaggerated statements
have appeared in the public prints
giving the impression that the acts of
hazing at the Naval Academy in the
last few days were Of an aggravated
and brutal character, think it prop
err to say that none such have come
to my knowledge, nor do | believe
that any such have occurred. The
practice Of hazing usually begins in q
moderate form and increases in vio-
lence as it goes on.
am fully satisfied that the cadets
Of the third class were bent on con-
tinuing this unlawful and most un-
worthy practice, until they were sum-
marily checked by the action taken
to deprive them Of oil opportunity to
carry their intentions into effect.
They were not punished They were

special Correspondence of the EDGER
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 Comp
troller Knox keeps mp bis war on the
Funding Bill and goes nj of his way
10 create opinion that a 8 per cent.
bond cannot be negotiated. If the
banks can retire SIP. 600, 900 of their
circulation in a few days under the
present status, that fact demonstrates
as powerfully as any argument that
can be made, they ought to be
amended. The Funding Bill will
probably be acted on shortly. The
attention IF the House, however, will
be confined exclusively to the con-
sideration of the amendments affixed
to it Ivy the Senate. There can be
no alteration of SUCH parts of it as
have passed both Houses of Con-
gress. Neither is there any legiti-
mate connection between the Fund
ing Bill and that passed by the Sen
ate repeating present bank taxation.
1t may or may not be eSpedient to
abolish taxes OIL bank deposits and
circulation, but that has nothing to
do with the rate of interest on the
public debt, or with what sort of
bonds shall hereaf er be given as Sc
eurities by banks, Or how, or in what
time bank notes may be withdrawn
from circulation. II the question Of
reducing bank taxation hinges upon
the kind of bonds banks are to fur
nish, there might be more money to
the government in letting the bonds
remain at their present rate of inter-
est and increasing the bank taxes,
but neither raising o diminishing
them a effect the absorption of a 3
per cent. bond by the public if it
suits their views and interests to pur-
chase it..
Never before was greater DISPOSE
ton to fillibuster manifested by the
Republican party in Congress than
against an apportionment of that
body which does not suit its inter-
ests. The Republicans will not con-
sent to q reduction of the Congress
sional distr; cts of New York because
they fear that q dIminution of them
benefit the Democracy. The Demo-
Gratis have made very fair offers to
the Republicans but they refuse even
TO vote unless they can have their
own way. Thus far the committee
of compromise, consisting of five
representatives of each party, has fail
ed to reach an agreement. On the
part of the Democrats 1t was propos-
ed that each side should submit three
numbers for representatives with the
understanding that they should be
voted on without unnecessary delay.
and that when a number was accept
ed by the House, instructions should
be given to the Census Committee to
report a bill founded upon the basis
agreed on. The previous question
called and the bill put upon its pas.
sage.
On the part of the Republicans il
was proposed to vote for a number
commencing with 322 ami to 90 on
lowering it until an acceptable figure
was reached to be incorporated by
the Census Committee into Sherwin's
substitute and considered upon cal
for the previous question. As stat
ed, the Republicans want $40 repre-.
sentatives because that will give New
York. Ohio and Pennsylvania eacl
an additional member and expect tt
succeed in getting them because Gen.
Weaver, late Greenback Presidentia'
candidate, is doing his utmost witt
that body in Congress to secure thai
number for them.
