Department was Tedu IL hiiSHi pt 'phi
plete answer to the inquiry of the gentleman
from fremont. He moved that the commu-
nication from the Adjutant General and the
order introduced by the member from Cherry
| field be printed. that the House may know
upon what it is to act. 1t is an easy but
odious thing to assail private and official char
acter. The gentleman from Cherryfield will
do well not to give too much credence to the
''rumors in the air.
Mr.. IRISH advocated as little delay as pos
sible in the passage of the order. He had the
honor of representing small town. He had
a communication from that town the other
day to see if he could exchange its bonds for
cash. He went to the Treasury and found
the ptiable sum Of $4,000 awarded to it by the
Commissioners. As he was about leaving the
office, he was called back and informed that
there was a charge against his town of $1,000.
He did not know what this was for, unless it
was for their extreme loyalty, for his town
sent every single able bodied man under 40
years to the war. He wanted to know why
this was, and he hoped the order would pass
without any amendment.
The reading of the list received was called
for.
Mr.. BARKER suggested that it was lengthy
and that he should prefer to have that and the
order calling for information, with the order
introduced by Mr. Hume printed, and spread
before the House that it might see if it had
got an imperfect answer If the order had
been fully complied with, then he suggested
the House was little hasty in the appointing
of a committee. He was for a thorough in
vestgation of the matter.
On motion of Mr.. BARKER. the order call
ing for information, and the communication
received, with the order introduced by the
gentleman from Cherryfield, were ordered to
be printed.
On motion of Mr.. WHITE.
Adjourned.
