great deal Of unnecessary criticism has
been extended to the tscent order Of the Ssetea

Of the record of battles In the Army Register
The order was absolutely necessary for the rea-
son that the list. rs furnished to the depart

that II was impossible tpr the officials ut the
War Office to straighten 1t out.
In the first place, a request was sent out for
officers to furnish the department with a list Of
the battles in which their several regiments had
been engaged. some sent in answers. giving
a list Of uumport INT engagements, and some
sent in skirmshes. and others list of battles
where their regiments were present but did not
participate. while " few confined their statements
to such important engagements. .as might prop

commands were actively engaged.

more than was deserved, 50 that in ordar to

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE report Of the Sec
retary Of War is perhaps the most interesting
document which has been sent out from the
War Office for some years. The report contains
an important chapter on the Mexican border
troubles, and also IL chapter on the Indian ques
ton. and his views on these subjects arc incor-
porated in tho Presidents message considera-
bly, simpihed.
Secretary McCrary favors the organization Of
the army with IN increase to 5000 or 40 900 men,
His views on this subject received the most ma
tured consideration long before the prepara-
ton of his report. The Secretary invited cor
respondence with the most prominent officers
of the army on this subject. and from opinions
thus expressed he has formed the plan for tho
organization of the army which Is detailed In
his report.
The Secretary expresses the opinion that the
various bills and resolutions offered in Con-
gress Of late years regarding the reduction and
reorganization Of the army are calculated to
demoralize it. and TO work o great deal Of harm.
The Secretary recommends the removal Of the
provisions of existing statutes which limit the
number of officers to be placed on the retired
list to 800. In justice to the younger officers the
law ought to make l. obligatory on the part of
the President to retire officers ut the age OF
sixty-two years. The Secretary favors the
transfer of the duty of feeding Indians on
reservations to the Commssary Department
and gives his reasons therefor. Accompanying
the report are the reports Of the various division
and department commanders as well as the re-
port Of the general of the army, and reports of
the various department bureau officers Of the
War Department.

Thnrn,an The Nan.

Forabont two weeks there has been
quite an excitement in the United
states Senate, and throughout the
whole country, over the admission of
claimants to seats in that body.-
There is one vacancy in South Caro-
lima, Butler, democrat, claiming it,
and Corbin, republican. There are
two vacancies in Louisiana, the
claimants being Eustis and spofEord,
democrats, and Pinchback and KEEL
logg, republicans. The republican
majority in tho Senate is so small
that the admission of the democratic
claimants would overcome it and
therefore it was determined by the
leaders that the republicans must be
seated without regard to the justice
or legality Of their claims. They
early ascertained that two repnbli'
con Senators, Patterson of South Car.
DINA, and Conover Of Florida could
not be relied upon to carry out this
scheme, rs they would certainly vote
to admit Butler instead Of Corbin
and probably Eustis instead Of Pinch
back, and go the Committee on Elec-
tions refused to take up the cases Of
Butler and Eustis and insisted upon
disposing of Kellogg's case first, with
the view that Patterson and Conover
would vote for him, and when in,
they could by the help of his vote
and that of Sharon of Nevada, who
is absent but expected toreturn, seat
Corbin instead of Butler, whom turn
would vote for Pinchback and thus
increase the republican force by
three.
Under this state of things Senator
Thurman introduced an orders dig
charging the Committee on Electioq'
| from the further consideration Of the
Butler case, which if adopted would
bring that case directly before the
Senate. To the CONSERVATION Of the
republican leaders, Patterson and
Conover voted with the democrats,
and therefore fllibustering was re
sorted to for the purpose OF putting
off action until n pressure could be
brought to bear on Patterson and
Conover that would induce them to
retreat from their position and sup
port the partizan schemes Of the re-
publicans. Hayes was appealed to-
to interposo and buy them up with
patronage, and bitter warof dcnun'
citation and abuse was opened upon
them by the republican papers; but
both Senators stood firm, so fur as
the seating of Butler was concerned
and on last Friday both Butler, oil
South Carolina, and Kellogg, of Lou
isiana, were admitted to seats and
sworn in by the President of the
Senate.
