the present strength OF the army al 90 600 mcn
marking that by reason CT death, dcscrtou and DIS.

principle that was to make appropriation the
support OF the army, had provided Tor ~ 600 for

year. What else could tho committee do ?
II had not undertaken TO lcgsiato as 70

But why was thatf General Sherman had beca asked

Mr. FOSTER repeated hts question, but got direct

Mr. SINGLETON addressed himself to Mr.. CoDser's
