Special to the Register.
Mr.. Hewitt of New York, a member

TO have undertaken q very large contract
when ne relieved the military committee
of the trouble of presenting bill to re-
organize the army. With this action
on the part Of Mr.. Hewitt and tho Appro'
nristion Committee it appears the Mill
tsrv Committee are not well pleased.
The rules of the House make 1t the duty
ofthe Committee on Military Affairs to
take into consideration all subjects re-
lating to the military establishment and
public defense, and also to report from
time to time such measures as may con-
tribute to the economy and accountability
Of said establishment. Under this law
of the House the Military Committee has
for five months been taking testimony,
considering the question in al It's
branches, and endeavoring to per-
feet fair and symetricsl bill
for the reorganization Of the army.
In addition to the testimony it has been
taken, the Military Committee Is CON-
posed of men who have had experience
in military life. Now Mr.. Hewitt comes
ON with bill which all his experience
as Tilden's Lieutenant hardly fits him
to prepare. By work Of this kind, BY IN
vsding the province of other committees

DESPERATE CAUGHT.
Arrest OF Ike Kirk in West virginia.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May l9.-lke
Kirk, the alleged leader OF the outlaws

Kirk was pursued recently by twenty
two Kentucky gentlemen, who meant
business, and surrounded him in q house

were fred at him, but he escaped to the
woods without clothes, and routed wild
hogs from the leaves, rested in their bed
till morning, and finally escaped with
bullet through his hand.
