nc, of Congress Of July 25 1866, reads as follows
"The grade of General Of the Army of the United
States is hereby revived; and the President is au
thorzed whenever he shall deem it e1pedient, tt
appoint by and with the advice and consent Of th
Senate. n General of the Army of tho Uniie'

the military service Of The United States most dis
tingui.hed for courage, skill and ability, who
being commissioned a, General, may be authorized
under The direction and during the pleasure of th
President, TO command The armies of the Cnitet
States" Thus it will be seen that there is no re
sriction upon the power TO appoint another office
to iht grade of General" in the event of va
cancy by The resignation of Gen. Craut.
