quiet day of it yesterday.
GREER COUNTY MATTERS.
The Greer county commission have
about finished their work at this point,and
are engaged in discussing the evidence
brought before them. What that evidence
il, however, seems to be a sealed book to
the reporters, and will probably not be
communicated to the public till 1t has first
been referred to headquarters at Wash
ington.
At least that is the military way of
doing business, and the federal members
of the commission are army officers. Col.
Herndon made an argument yesterday on
the Texas side of the question.
The commission will probably meet
next in the disputed territory. Colonel
Herndon's address is no canard.
Land Commissioner Walsh states that
the injunction by the attorney general
against the surveyor of the Wheeler land
district, restraining him from locating
veteran certificates in Greer county, Will
not be affected by the late organization of
that county, ms the injunction will apply
to the surveyor of that county, rs part
of the Wheeler district, il being addressed
10 the Wheeler surveyor or his successor
in Office, and Greer county being compre-
hended as part of the succession. Besides
this, any attempt at usurpation to locate
such certificates, will be met by the fact
that the surveyor has first to be recog-
nized by the authorities here, and get
mans and records from the general land
Office before he can run any surveys, and
must send the field notes to the land Office
before he can receive applications to To-
cate certificates.
MILITARY DEPARTMENT..
Adiutant General King has issued gen.
eral order to the company commanders
of the Texas volunteer guards, calling

tant generals office, the above require
ment is not generally complied with, and
