the President to appoint and place on the re-
tired list OF the army one person from among
those who had been generals commanding
armies of the United States, or generals in

MIR. Edmunds expressed the hope that
unanimous consent would be given for the i'm
mediate consideration Of the bill Every
senator he said. would see the object of the
purpose and the application OF the bill. 1t
would authorize the President 20 appoint Gen
Grant on the retired list. In its form it obvi-
ated the difficulty observed in the Fitz John
Porter case. 1t would enable the United

tice TO Gen. Grant.
