WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Naval Ca
diets at Annapolis who have been in con-
finement on board the Santee were re-
leased to-day, their term of Imprisonment
having expired. Captain Ramsay, the
Superintendent of the Naval Academy.
states that the recent trouble at the
academy with the cadets has not
in the least interfered with the
daily routine of study and has not
even caused the omission of a single
recitation. He denies the published state
ment that he had been harsh or unciYil to
newspaper men who had called at the
academy for information in regard to the
situation. He says he allowed the cor
respondents every facility in their busi-
ness, and while he steadily declined to
express his own views on the subject,
on the ground that it was his duty to re-
port first to his superior officer, the Secre-
tary of the Navy, he gave correspond
ents permission to get whatever infOrma-
ton or views the other officers of the
academy or even the cadets choose to give
them. He had not as yet made an official
report of the trouble, but expected to do
so in a short time.
Officials at the Indian Bureau assert

Mr.. Burchard, Director of the Mint, was
before the Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures this morning and began a
statement descriptive of the operation of
gold and silver certificates, their relation
to each other and to the commercial needs
of the country.
So far as there was definite expression
from Mr.. Burchard, he gave it as his
opinion that 1t is ineXpedient, until there
shall be an international agreement estab-
fishing and fixing the ratio between gold
and silver, to coin more silver. His theory
is that without an international
agreement as to the relative values of
gold and silver, the continuance of the
coinage and circulation of silver by the
United States would tend to make this
country the dumping ground for the silver
OF all nations, while gold would find its
way out OF the country as fast as imports
came in.

Resort.
INDIAN SPRING, GA, Feb. 5.-Our thriving
little station, the most beautiful location on
the line of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad between Macon and Atlanta,
one mile and half from the famous resort,
Indian Spring, is building up rapidly. The
saw and hammer is heard on every side, new
stores and dwelling houses are being rapidly
built, and our merchants are over
whelmed with business. The elegant new
depot is nearly completed, which will
supply the greatest want of the hundreds that
visit us during the season" being large and
supplied with all modern Improvements.
"Heard," the name of our new Post office, is
now the distributing office for Indian Spring
and Monticello, and is great convenience to
all points.
A company has been organized for the
erection of a suspension bridge over the Oc-

Feeling of Citizens Upon the COmmuta-
tiOn of Hodges Sentence.
SPRINGFIELD, Feb. 5.-The citizens of Ening-
ham are not disposed to make a great lamen-
tation over matters inevitable in their nature,
still when they see their rights ignored they
nolOnger retain their wOnted quiet. As there
seems to be considerable dissatisfaction mani
tested among the citizens relative to the COM
mutation of the sentence of William ii Hodges,
convicted of murder at the last term of the
Superior Court. from the death penalty to i'm
prisOnment for life, shall endeavOr to express
their general views on the subject,
1t appears that the Governor was actuated
principally upon the petition of certain citi-
Zens of this and Chatham counties. Now il
seems that said petition Is an unknown dOcu-
ment among the most prominent citizens of
this county. and not until they saw the an
nOuncement of the Governors action were
they aware that such a movement was even
premeditated by a single individual.
1t seems rather strange that those whom eir-
cumstances made most intimately acquainted
with the affair should not be consulted in get
ting up a document of the kind. tits evident
that there is a large majority of the citizens,
both white and cOlored, who consider 1t an
outrage upon Justice. 1t is setting rather a
bad precedent that a few persons of bingham
and Chatham counties must dictate in what
manner crime committed in the former
county must be punished, without consulting
the more prominent citizens. They do not CEN
sure the Governor for showing Executive elem
ency. as they are ignorant of the strength the
petition from Chatham had, still they wish to
have a voice in matters with which they are
so intimately connected, and not permit a
few sympathiZers to say in what way the
strict mandates of the law must be executed.
Some of the cOlOred people. especially those
familiarly acquainted with the fact which led
to Hodges conviction. say, since murder 50
COld-blOOdcd and premedtated can escape the
law, there Is no need to become alarmed at
the Increase of crime. and even they consider
il a very unwise proceeding to rob the gallows
of so worthy subject.
II the sentence vas cOmmuted on the ground
that there was no malice existing between
the parties previous to the day of the fatal
occurrence. there must be a limit to what is
denominated premeditated malice. and almost
every murderer could escape hanging on the
lame pretext that the crime was committed
i'm "A ut Of passion without any previous Diff
Guilty. The matter Is ended, yet it was { &C
wish Of the good people of old Emngham to
have the decision of the lower court executed.
