WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. IS, 1871.
SENATE
Mr.. Wilson presented bill for the improve
ment of the army by which extra lieutenants
now serving as adjutanS and quartermaSterS

and the grade of extra lieutenant is to be
abolished. The grade ofquartermaster sergeant
is TO be abolished, and the duties performed by
them will devolve upon first sergents; the grade
of artifcers is to be abolished, and the duties
are to be performed by enlisted men. There are
to be two veterinary surgeons to each regiment
OF cavaly, each to receive one hundred dollars
per month. No music boys are to be enlisted
under twelve years of age, and no men are to be
enlisted under twenty-one years Of age.
Several petitions were referred, including one
by Mr.. Sumner, of the negroes of Rhode Island,
stating that they are outraged and degraded
asking the passage of a supplementary civil
rights bill.
Mr.. Conkling offered resolution directing
the retrenchment committee to investigate Mr..
Schurz' charges of fraud in the New York
custom house as follows;
Whereas it has been declared in the senate that
at New York, there exists and maintained by the
government officers, under the name of general
order business" monstrous abuse, fraudulent in
character; and,
Whereas, the following statement has been made
by senator there is set forth Mr. Schurz' statement
about Mr.. Leet head of the general order business
and the mysterious power" sustaining him against
protests of merchants and the wish of the secretary
Resolved, that the committee on investigation
and retrenchment be instructed TO inquire into the
matter fully and particularly whether any collision
or improper connection with such business exists
on the part of any officer of the United States and
further, inquire whether any officer has BEEN or is
known by his superior officers to be, guilty of brib
cry, taking brides other crimes or misdemeanors;
and the committee is authorized to send for persons
and papers.
Mr. Anthony moved that Messrs. Buckng-
ham, Pratt, Howe, Harlan, Stewart, Pool and
Bayard be appointed a retrenchment committee
Mr.. Sumner asked why the senators who
originally moved the investigation were not on
the committee. He said he was much surprised
at the composition of the committee, and he
missed the names Of Trumbull, Schurz and
others who had been active in pressing for the
investigation. He thought such a course mex
pcatbe, and simply called attention TO the
fact that those named by the resolution of Mr.
Anthony had taken no part, either by speech or
vote, in urging this inquiry.
Mr.. Anthony said he believed the appoint
ment of the committee was voted unanimously
Senator Trumbull had moved for Joint com.
