More i'm Sorrow Than in Anger.
General Rosecrans has Submitted to a long
interview TO be published in q local paper
tomorrow on the Garfield letter. He speaks
more in sorrow than in anger, on what he
terms breach Of faith in his chief of staff,

Preventing the Spread OF Injections
Diseases.
The President in a special message to Con-
gress to-day transmitted a Communication
from the National Board of Health in rela-
ton to legislation for the prevention of the
spread of infectious diseases. The commu-
nication sets forth that the National Board |
Of Health has advices showing the continued |
spread:of smallpox, especially along the lines
of transportation of emigrants, and the
board thinks that its spread will continue
during the current year unless prevented. |
They recommend such amendment to the act
of June 10, 1879, for the prevention of the
introduction and spread of contagious dis
eases, as will make the provisions of that act |
applicable TO all vessels sailing from foreign
ports without imposing on the United States
government The obligation of proving that
such port ia infected; also, a specific proyi-
sion requiring the vaccination of all emil
grants not previously vaccinated.
Quite n Sensation in Army Circles.
The investigation into the affairs of the
Soldiers Home by subcommittee of the
Senate Military Committee has excited much
interest in army circles. General Sturgis,
the governor, has written a letter to the COM
mittee complaining of the fact that his office
is more ornamental than useful; that three
commissioners - Adjutant- General Drum,
Commissary- General McFeely, and Surgeon
General Barnes-are monopolizng all the
power, even to the appointment and removal
of laborers and opening and shutting the
gates leading to the city. General Sturgis
succeeded General Potter as governor, a re-
tired officer; who is said to have yielded en-
tireiy to the authority of the commissioners.
Various abuses are charged upon the latter,
such accepting of flowers, fruits and veg
etables raised upon the grounds of the Home.
General Drum Indignantly denies the recep-
ton of such things, and the other two army
officers, it is said, will demand a curt of
inquiry.
