men, the patent appliances for insuring safety
from accidents have actually acted in an oppo-

Senator Wilson was unfortunate in his reference
to the legally Of detailing military officers as
attendants at the White House. 4 slight ex-
animation into the facts shows that his citations
of precedent, except those Of Andrew johnson $
time, are incorrect. But even those which he
claims as preccdents we're in existence before
the passage of bill which makes Messrs.
Dent. Porter and Babcock, the illegal holders
of military commissions. That law expressly
provides that any military officer accepting or
exercising the functions ola civil Office, shall at
once cease to be an officer of the army. and his
commission shall be vacated thereby. Yet,
in the face of this, Horace Porter remains Ma
ior of the Ordnance Service, 0. f. Babcock is
