means of keeping up the numbers of the army,
the committee concluded that some such hureau
was necessary, as under the adjutant generals
department recruiting had been heretofore a
decided failure. In this bill the committee had
not confined the selection of officers to be ap-
pointed to fill up original vacancies in the various
arms of the service to volunteer officers but pro-
posed to extend to It all volunteers whether Off
GERS or soldiers who could, by examination, prove
themselves possessed of the requisite qualities
tions, and who should have record of services IN
connection with their qualifications, whether as
privates or as officers, entitled them to such
selection. sse ss-s1r
Another peculiar feature of this bill, differing
from that Of the Senate, was this: There was a
provision in the Senate bill, that in selecting Off
Gers from newly organized regiments, two-thirds
Of them should be taken from volunteer officers
and soldiers, the other third had inserted in lieu
of it section that no officer Of the regular
army, who has commanded volunteer forces
during the war, shall, that account, be counted
as volunteer officer, but shall only be counted
as officers Of the regular army Another very
important provision of the bill was provision fx
order to determine what officers should b
properly retained in the office. It might
be thought that this was very
radical, but the committee thought that =
army, or mode of making an army serviceabis.
would be to have general revision Of all those
who now constitute its officers, in order to dotec-
mine wdo should be retained. The proyiaga

deprived of his position, hut hat officer slsil
have due notice to come before the board with Il
witnesses and have his case fairly examined and

The Heuse proceeded to consider the bill by
section for amendment. siss s7- IA.
Mr.. Davis moved to amend the first section, by
reducing the number of regiments from fifty five
to fifty. The second section, referring to the Eve
regiments of artillery, passed over without amend
ments. A number Of amendments were proposed
and some adopted to the section which provides
for twelve regiments of cavalry.
A message was received from the President
covering letter from the secretary of State relA
tive to the rights of Americans on the fishing
grounds. Referred to the Foreign Committee.
The evening session was dispensed with.
