that so far as Greece was concerned he

This is to coraify that it appears from the

The testimony does not cure these
parishes, but as they are rejected on
other grounds we do not discuss the
question. The official returns omit one
precinct in the parish of Tcnsas, viz,
Ashwool, which was not returned, but
is cured by testimony.
An informal and imperfect ccrtifi-
icate WAS issued to Mr.. McCranie. At
the first session OF forty-first Congress
the Committee Of Elections found him
unable to take the oath required by
law. he having been engaged in the
late rebellion in arms against the Unit
cd States, and he has not been qualified,
and, therefore, whatever may have been
the result of the election. Mr.. McCra-
ME cannot be admitted to the scat with
out legislation in his behalf.
Mr.. Morey claims the snat,and alleges
that "a system of intimidation. threa ts
violence, and lawicssncss prevailed in
the parishes of Jackson, Franklin, Clai-

THE ARMY-Sccretary Belknap'S Report is
satisfactory, not only because it exhibits
steady reduction in the cost of our military es-
tabiishmcnt without sacrifice of It's efficiency,
but because it recommends no costly appro-
priations, and expresses no serious complaints.
The expenditures for the current year have ex
ceeded the appropriations but the deficiency
is not the result OF extravaganza: it arises from
the passing of law to forbid the use of unex
pended appropriations upon which the depart
ment had relied in making its annual estimates.
For the year ending July, 1872, the cost of the
army will be about 1865, 600 less than the
last appropriation, and by next July the reduc-
ton of the force to the regular peace estab-
ishment Of O,00O men will be complete. The
Secretary proposes slight modification of the
law retiring supernumerary officers, aud re.
commendS an increase of the regular medical
staff, so as to dispense with the necessity Of
employing contract surgeons He repeats his
accommodation of last year that useless ar
senas should be sold, and the work now dis
/ tributed over several establishments be ooncen-
trated in one or two central arsenas. lie

to fan her, and shawl her, and admire her.
