Il is now reported that the oficers Of the army
sre opposed to the transfer of the charge of the
Iadisns from the Ioterior to the War Depart
mcnt On account Of tho txire trouble aud raspon'

must drag along with army o&sers in eonse-
quence Of their having nothing 10 the world to
do, it would seem only natural that, instead of
opposing any measure that would afford them
little light employment, they would bless any

who would give them relief from tho ennui OF
