TWAS objected to by many voices.
MIR Chandler asked leave to offer resolu-
ton asking the President to give to this House,
if not inconsistent with tho public interests, all
information in his possession relative 10 the de-
ssruction Of Greytown, or San Juan, including
copies Of the instructions given to the COM
mander Of the Cyane.
Mr. Seward objected.
The House at half past eleven O'Clock re-
sumed the consideration Of the bill to increase
the efficiency of the army.
Mr.. Phelps addressed the House in opposi-
ton to some Of the appropriations proposed.
Mr. Houston ayowed his opposition to the
existing practice of titles by brevet being &C.
companied with increased pay.
MIR. Or said he was In favor of adopting 30
much of the bill as authorizes the increase of
the pay of the privates and commissioned
officers, and the promotion of such men to high
er positions. He thought, however, there was
not time now to perfect the whole bill. He
therefore proposed that the House should, by
unanimous consent close the hour debate, and
proceed to amend the bill under the Ave min
utes rule.
At 35 minutes past IL o'clock, the House
resolved itself into Committee Of the Whole,
MIR. Millson in the chair.
Mr.. Letcher addressed the Committee on
the subject Of increased pay, and in opposition
thereto. He was willing to raise the pay of
soldiers to such pIice as would procure q COM
ploment Of them.
Mr. Giddings in brief speech, contended
that true reform in the army would be q re-
dGction of the army, and he averred, that by
the observance of kind and humane course of
conduct, the friendship of the Indians on the
frontiers could be secured, and they could be
made our allies in the enforcement of good
order.
Dir Smith of Virginia, did not oppose the
increase proposed, but conteaded that the COM
pensation of the Major General should not be
increased, as it was now high; his quarters
were permanent and he was not subjected to
the expenses incurred by officers of inferior
grades on active duty.
Mr. Lane, of Oregon, replied. He commended
that the compensation of the commander.in-
chief was not sufficient to preserve him from
| dying a poor man besides which, that offioer
had passed through all the grades Of the col
der, from the ranks up, and submitted to all
the attendant dangers, fatigues, losses, and pri-
| vaticns.
MIR. Bridges required to know if Mr.. Lane
had ever known an officer to resign because he
could not live upon his pay?
| Mr. Lane. Yes, many, many; and can
name them TO you. | know that of which
speak entered the army a common soldier,
and left it breves brigadier general; and
should have been better off he'd devoted my
time to tho cultivation of corn.
