The question then required on the amend
ment EX-SENATOR Sargent, and Senator Matthew'S
moved to strike out ITEM and insert forty.
In explanation of the amendment, he said the
practice had been to have ten presidential
cadet appointments in each class, being forty AZ

to deny those appointments at the beginning
of the presidential term.
Senator Window moved to lay the amend
ment Of Senator Matthews on the table.
Agreed to.
senator Hoar moved an amendment to that
of Senator Sargent's az follows: But this pro-
vision shall not be held to require the discharge
of sany cadets heretofore appointed. The
amendment of Senator Hoar was accepted by
Senator Sergeant and the amendment as
amended by Senator Hoar agreed to.
Senator Thurman opposed the striking out
of the third section Of the House bill. and said
he was in favor of any step tending to reduce
the cadets at West Point and Annapolis to one
half the present number. The number
of officers we now have in the army
was altogether disProPortunate to to
the number of men. As the third section OF
new one inserted, he moved the following as
an additional section: '"That only such number
of graduates Of the United States military
academy, in any one year, shall be entitled TO
appointment as second ieutenanta in the army
as are required to fill the vacancies of that
$50
graduates of the military academy who are not
appointed to the army under the provisions of
this act shall be discharged upon the gradu-
alton of their class, but this section shall not
apply to cadets now at said academy.
Senator Window moved to lay the amend
ment on the table. Agreed to, % to Is.
The bill was then reported to the Senate, the
amendments made in committee OF the whole
agreed to, and it was read third time and
passed.
Senator Paddock called up the Senate bill
supplementary to the act in relation to the
Hot Springs reservation, in the State of Arkan-
sas 1t continues the commission appointed
by that act, to hear cases of claimants etc., nn-
til October 1st 1878, and provides that they
shall each receive compensation at the rate OF
$5, 900 per annum.
Senator Dorsey moved to amend the bill SO
as to continue the commission until February
lst, 1879, instead Of October LIST, 1878. Agreed
to-
He also submitted an additional section au-
thorizing the superintendent OF the reserva-
ton to lease sites with privileges for furnish
ing baths, etc., to the Hot Springs Mountain
Water company, giving to said company the
| right to construct reservOtfs on the Hot Springs
mountain to supply the reservation with water,
etc. Agreed to.
The bill was then read third time and

Monday thers will be an important

action seeking a reduction OF freight
tariffs on the St. Louis, Chicago and
New Orleans railroad, which now oper
ates and virtually owns the Mississippi
Central road. Messrs W. W. Guy, A. D

erts and Chas. G. Fisher, leading business
men and prominent citizens have been
appointed by Vice President Goodbar,
of the Chamber of Commerce, 10 repre-
seat the interests of Memphis. We trust
and believe that the course Of these
gentlemen will be sQcb 81 to induce
proper rates. Above all, do We hope that
arrangements will be made by which &c
liable connection with Memphis can be
made at Grand Junction, Instead Of
quarreling about freights, we should
seek to secure a connection at Grand
Junction. We hope this will be consum
mated, and believe that both the Charles
ton and the other road are disposed to Dc
all in their power, consistent with idea
of business, to have this done.

A CONTEST FOR OFFICE
Made Against W. ]. DuVal BY Ben
Reeves for Attorney General Of
the Bartlett Court.

A contest has grown out Of the late
county election. Mr.. Ben Reeves mott
fed Coroner Caldwell that he claimed
the certificate Of election to the office Of
attorney general of the Bartlett Circuit
Court, on the ground that Mr., W. j..
Duval, who received the certificate of
election, was ineligible to the office, on
the ground that when elected be resided
in Memphis and not within the jurisdic.
ton Of the Bartlett Circuit Court. In
the election, W. j. Duval (Natioual), re
ceived 944S votes in the city and county
Ben R%aeues, who resides in Bartlett, re.
ceived five votes in the country districts,
which, he claims, gives him a title
and elects him to the office of attorney
general of the Bartlett Circuit Court,
he being eligible by reason of
residing within the jurisdiction oil
the court, and his opponent, W. J,
Duval, not being eligible, no matter
how many votes be received, by reason
Of his residing in Memphis, and outside
the Jurisdiction of the court. The mat
ter of contest will come up before Judge
Kortrscht, of the ChancerY Court, when
