SENATOR LoGAN's VIEWS ON THE REDUCTION
OF THE ARMY-THE PRESIDENTS DISREGARD
OF THE USUAL ROUTINE IN PROMOTION.
Senator Logan, who is slowly recovering from his
Illness says that while he not consulted about the
recent nominations removals of federal officers in
Chicago, and was surprised at them, he does not
mean to make the matter personal But he
says freely that he thinks he and Senator
oglesby ought to have been consulted. He is
opposed TO the reduction of the army, and thinks
not large enough now for the work It has do but he
wants to consolidate the Ordnance Commissary and
Quartermasers' departments, which, he thinks, would
effect an important saving He says he has not been
well enough TO consult with the members of his
committee about the recent army nomlna-
tions. But, in other quarters there is some
opposition to the coIarmation Of Major Macfecy
to be Commissary upon General Sheridan's stan be-
cause the promotion was made the heads OF two
coonels three lieutenant colonels and two majors and
is held to be a violation Of army routine. Another
prominent military appointment. that OF Major Mayna-
dier to be Paymaster, was sheved by the Military
Committee last session 1t is reported that the Presi
dent has within few days written letter to the Mill
