Knotty Casts Decwwep.—The first controller of the Treasury has decided that a draft mad payable to a man who has been absent in parts unknown for seven years or more cannot be paid to his administrators on the presumption that the man ts dead; that conclusive evidence of his death must first be obtained before such payment can be made. The controller bas also rendered a decision in a case involving the question whether a note given to husband and wife survives to the wife in the event of the husband’s death, or to the heirs of his estate. The decision holds that the money, in the event of the death of either, goes to the survivor.

There is no in- formation in the War department on this sub- ject other than the two dispatches which have received from Gen. Schofield, and which were published in Tag Star. It is stated in several papers that the military authorities here are trying to prevent the Whittaker mat- ter from being fastened upon any members of the corps of cadets. This is not true. It has been ordered that the most neces investi ga- tion be made. If it 1s discovered that Whi taker was routilated by any of his fellows they will be promptly dismissed; and further, will be lurned Over to the civil authorities for punish- ment according to law. and had THE SENATE Exopvs Commitee yesterday ex- amined A. 8. Johnson, late commisstoner of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe ratiroad. Mr. Johnson repeated the statements of previcus witness that most of the colored emigrants arriving at Topeka were literally paupers, and that a larze proportion of them were women, children and feeble old men. The mass of them, he said, were unskillea laborers, not at all sutted for farm work as now conducted with improved implements in Kans The railroad which he was with offered every inducement to white emigrants to come to Kansas, but none what- ever to negroes. The road had encouraged the return of Re; to the south by offering free transportation from ‘Topeka to Kansas City. This policy, he said, w in accordance, le thought, with the sentiment of the people of the state, irrespective of politics.

How Uncle Sam’s Cadets are Al- Jowed to Amuse Themselves. ‘The mutilation of Cadet Whittaker at West Point has attracted more attention than any- thing of the kind that has occurred in either of the national institutions, It was not hazing as that word is understood, even if Whittaker did not disfigure himself. The occurrence has, however, again directed atiention to * haztug,” as shown by the Senate debate yesterday. Some hold that this rae 1s no worse at West Voint or Annapolis than in the coll They are wrong. There is hazing at the colleges, but the sophomore class has not the facilities for induigipg in the pastime that are possessed by third classmen at West Point and Annapolis. The third class is above the new comer, the “pleb" or * youngster,” and exercises a certain sort of supervision over him. He is made superintendent of the fourth class floor. As he has just come into a little authority he delights to exercise it. ‘The “pleb” ts “spotted” or reported for everything. He is not spoken to like a gentleman, but more like a dog. He has to puta “sir” after every answer to an upper classman. He must stand up and take off his cap when one of these august and important tn- dividuals enters his room. He must stand and have his looks, figure und his name made fun of by ethaps a young striplirg a foot shorter than himself, The language used 1s often insulting, but it is seldom that the pleb dares to resent if. ‘The hazer generally tries to be very funny. If he happens to getoff something that opproaches wit and the youngster siniies he {s then pitehed into for daring to laugh at an upper classr an. ‘This fs the milder form of “hazing;” it is¢ led “running.” To most young men it is more wrall- ing than “hazing” proper. The latter affects the body while the former consists in slurs and persénal abuse. On drill the youngster Is yelled at Upon every opportunity by the cadet officers, and sneering remarks are made aloud at the manner in which he conducts himseif. «As a general thing none but the third class are sup- Posed to haze; but all three of the upper classes combine to make the new cadet as uncomfor able as possible, There are different forms of hazing. THE PHANTOM DRILL. One that is always practiced more or less every year is the “‘shirt-tall parade.” After laps, when everybody is supposed to be in bed, a few choice spirits of the third classxo to the floor where the plebs are in bed. ‘Taney turn them out and make each one arm himself with abroom. Nighi elothes are all that are worn. ‘The plebs aré organized into companies, and under the dim light in the corridor are drilled in all their phantom-like picturesqueness. The Wardrobes in the cadets’ rooms are very nar- row; ihe youngsters are made to climb them very quickly. Often the wardrobe falls on them. At Annapolis a sheet is stretched across the Wardrobes, and the two room-mates are madr to go through tue evolutions of loosing, reefing and furling Sail. They get dusty, and, what 1s worse, are often kept tn thelr cramped positions of top the wardrobe until thelr limbs ache. They are made to get on the table, dance and sing; no matter whether they can dance or sing they have to go through the motions. * A PAVORITE PASTIME for the festive hazer is to make one youngster as if he was turuing the crank of a hand organ. Whenever a new tune is wanted the outside man taps on the wardrobe and the singer sings him another lay. The mattrasses are taken from the beds in several rooms and piled up around a few selections of the genus plebo untii the hollow column reaches near the ceiling. Into the top or this water is poured upon ti’ recumbent youngsters until the hazer gets Uved. Sometimes, but not often, cheeky young man is made ts eat soap. Frequently he is shaved witha bluni plece of tin, common soap bel: jather, and a whisp broom for a brush. If a youngster gets to exhibiting too much “gail,” and evinces a determination not to submit to his many persecutions, he ts taken into a dark room where some twenty or thirty upper class- men are assembled. The operation of “passing around” is then carried out. ‘This consists in one man giving the rebellious pleb a punch in the ribs, Knocking him to the next man on the right. He {s carried around the circle until he either gives in or becomes exhausted. This treat ment ix known to bring even the most cheel youngster to a proper Sense of what is due by iim T0 the upper classman. CADET IRREVERENCE. Frequently 20 or 30 plebs are gotten into a room seated in chatrs, The most religious one that can be found is made to take the desk and preach a sermon from a text in the Bible. His audience at proper intervals says “Amen.” He then calls on a brother for “prayer.” The prayer has to be forthooming. Young men are Made to sit on their beds and with a broom pre- tend to row untilexhausted. Tying plebs up in sheets and hanging them out of the windows 1s nol as common Now as {t used to be. frequent, however, of tying them in their b3ds on their backs and leaving them there. Run ning a plece of rope into a room over the tran- som aiter (aps and then making it fast to the fect of the pleb is common. ‘The youngster is out of bed. He is pulled up by his feet to the transom and lowered again. ‘These are some of the many ways that the pleb is made to feel that he*is 10 be vubedient and servile io his uppers. Society Notes. . Atashionable audience enjoyed a treat last evening at Wormley’s, in hearing the veneravié Mr. Siddons give bis reminiscences of uropean celebrities whom he met from the year 1813 to within the last few years. Mr. Siddons is over eighty years of age, but in full possession of every faculty.

He had understocd that the great leaders on the other side had ac- ceeded tothe amendment. The vote upon the amendment had shown that but twelve alee licans had voted against it. He confessed that the amendment did not meet his views. This tame, cowardly amendment did not come up to that standard of legislation on the subject that he would have wished, and if he had the power he would insist on something much stronger than this and unyteldingly insist on its adop- ton.
