WASHINGTON, February 25.-HoUsE
Pending amendment was hat offer
ed by Mr.. Atkins, striking out the
clause appropriating 10000 for print
ing 10000 copies Of the compilation
of the official records of'the var and
rebellion. Mr.. Atkins said he had
always been in favor Of the compila-
ton of those records, but the action
Of the committee in striking out an
appropriation for the purchase of the
Bragg and Polk papers seemed to him
that an indication Of an impartial his
tory of the wal was not desired; any
thing that did injustioe to Que side VI
the other did injustice to the whole
country, for in writing the history Of
the country nothing that might be
said complimentary to the Confederate
soldier would detract from the federal
seldier, but On the contrary would add
to his lustre and glory. He had been
assured by the gentlemen on the other
side that the design was to secure
everything that would throw light on
the late war, and would therefore
withdraw his amendment.
