    JAMES D. CRENSHAW v. THE UNITED STATES.
    (24 C. Cls. R., 57. 134 U. S. R., 99.)
    
      On the claimant’s Appeal.
    
    This is the case of naval cadet, who finished Ms academic course in 1881, and was discharged after passing his final examination in 1883, there being no vacancy in the service.
   The court below decides :

That the Act August 5,1882 (22 Stat. L., 385), directing the discharge of the naval cadets if they are not required to fill vacancies, is constitutional ; and that a cadet so discharged by the Secretary of the Navy is no longer in the servioe.

The decision of the Court below is affirmed on the same grounds.

Mr. Justice Lamar,

delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court, March 3, 1890.
