REPORT OF THE SENATE MILITARY COMMIT
TEE-GooD ADVICE.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE report 10
the Senate of the Military Committee on the
subject of seniority in the army says: Your
committee do not believe it within The rea-
sonable power of Congress, iu fact, life is too
shor. 10 undertake TO minutely review and
reconsider and remedy anew all the seeming
or imagined grievances OF every officer now
in the regular army, In regard to the dates
of sntry into service and relative rank, etc.
Alter lapse of seventeen years from the
close OF the late war, and the disband-
ing OF large numbr of officers in tbs
volunteer service, and the reorganiz tion and
reduction OF the regular army, the present
dates Of entry into the service. and relative
rank of all officers now in service have been
known and acted On for years. They have
been nominated by the President and con-
frmed BY the Senate, and have been &C.
cepted. There must be an end to legislation
upon these questions or confusion worse con-
founded, strIfes and contentious will exist
and increase with every act Of Legislation
The time of Congress and the valuable time
of the officers of the army can be more profit
ably and pleasantly employed than in over
hauling and attempting TO correct or change
the existing status. Let peace prevail in the
army as il does 10 civil life. Your commit
lee recommend that the bill and the whole
