u.hoxa History Shall We Csc:

We have just received copy OF a
"Grammar School History" OF the
United States, written by Miss L. A.
Field, of Georgia. We have not hao
time to examine it carefully, Du1
think from what we have read IN 1t,
that we will be highly pleased with
the book. 1t is written in PLAN,
comprehensive style and seems to be
well suited for common schools.
We should be very careful in de-
termining, at our next meeting what
history is best adopted to meet our
wants. The committee in their re-
port recommended Swinton's series.
not that it is faultless, but that 1t IS
the best of the list from which they
had to select. We don't doubt that
the series is very good, but we know
that the author lived ''across the
line" and therefore could not have
been in full sympathy, with the
Southern people, in the ''lost cause"
It is true that sectional jealousy
should be smothered, and that States
lines should be forgotten Genera
tions, however, may come and 60;
the political face of our country may
be changed; the fraternal ties OF
friendship may bind our people to-
gether, but the time is in the far fu-
ture when a Southern man will fail
to delight in reading, from South
ern standpoint, the brave and chival-
rous deeds of those who followed an
unsullied but unsuccessful banner Of
a noble people.

Gen. HAGEN ON the DisRllOwRBce Of
the : 1RaaI Service Accounts.

WAsnINaToN, October 20. - Gen.
H. zen, when asked by reporter this
evening regarding the dissllowapce by
the Second o mptroller cf the Sienal
Service accounts, aid; "The published
announcement Of the vi ,OOO, 600 d g.
allowance is very misleading, snd
the statement made by the Second
Comptroller that Capt. Mills and
Lieut.. Craig were not bonded 10 incor-
rect. A fair statement would have in
cluded the fact that these disallowan ces
were only based upon alleged inf)r'
malitiee, aud that these expenditures
were ba,ed upon the orders OF the
Secretary OF War upon precedents OF
fifteen years, end the approval and
settlement OF these accounts had been
made previously by the Tressnry De-
partmfnt. The question OF copies OF
ielegrams not being II cd with the &C.
counts is simply this: The new
Comptrol or, setirg a regulation re-
ierring TO q port n OF the army that
copies OF teleprams should accompany
accounte, errone0usly assumed that
1t pertaiued to the Signal Service
when in fact it did not and never had
done go, and his whole claim now rests
on this error which he adheres to, now
that ell apparent gre und for it has
been swept away IL Is on this alone
that he claimed $500, 900 has been mis-
applied. To these facts he replied
that the copies were necessary for &C
counting officials to audit. But this
was not true, because OF all the eight
great departments Of the government
none but portion Of the War De-
partment ever furnished any copies
for that purpose. II would not have
been necesta y in this case under any
circums ancts, iinCe the Corrf ctness of
the vouchers Is always certified to by
q disiD teTeBted commissioned officer,
which is always accepted Gs Sufficient
evidence in all such cAtes, and had
they been furnished no one but an ex.
pert in the Sgual Office could have
audited them, since they we're all in
cipher and without address or sigma
ture, and any number of copies might
have been substituted and no other
audi or could have detected it."
