connosances on the military divisions and de-
partments are all explained in the appendix.
In reference to the State, War and Navy De-
partment building further explanation is made
that the insecure condition of the building in
which the various branches of the War De-
partment are now located and the danger of
destruction by fire of papers and records of
great value necessarily stored and used in nm
safe places, render it very unfortunate that the
building now in course of construction should
be completed at the earliest possible date and
in order that the work may progress without
interruption the additional appropriation is
deemed requisite. Twenty thousand dollars
was appropriated by Congress last session for
the publication of the official records of the re-
bellion on an estimate for $4,000 An increase
of the sum appropriated for the year ending
June 30th, 1873, Is necessary in order to enable
the department to properly preserve thorough
duplication of theBrady collection of war photo
graphs purchased by Congress, and vigorously
prosecute the work. No appropriations has
ensued for estimates for National cemeteries
and for the pay for superintendent of National
cemeteries for this syear. These items of ex-
pense. primitlvely army affairs, are not now
enumerated among matters appertainiog to
the support of the military forces and are SO
national in deed as to require little or no expla-
nation further than that previous estimate for
$207 900 are now reduced to $1S4, OOO

convention changed the quiet town of Hamil-
ton into fever of excitement the hotels were
crowded, the late corners having to room out.
The sessions, with the exception of the last one,
were secret. and held at the Fraternity Hall of
Ma, beautiful structure of Philadelphia brick
and free-stone trimmings, three stories in
height, and of considerable architectural merit
The last session before the banquet was held at
the Baptist Church, that being the largest
building in town, but it was sadly insufficient
to accommodate the friends of the fraternity,
and many had to turn away. The officers Of
the meeting were Hon. James Hustled, Presi
dent, and Rev. John Peddle, d. D.. Orator
The banquet was served at the Park House and
was kept up till an early hour The fraternity
has added to its list of already celebrated names
that OF Rutherford b. Hayes, President of the
United States, and the announcement of the
fact created great applause The convention
adjourned to meet next year in New York, with
The Beta Chapter of Columbia College.
