Their, as to what propositions have been
made by tine government officials for the
surrender OF these flags, and whether it is
true that a portion of them were actually
surrendered to persons having no right
to their possession. As a preliminary,
the secretary has given a brief history of
the flags: OF the whole number captured
and deposited with the department., 236
were United States flags originally cap
tured by Confederates, and r%ecaptured
from them, and 544 were Confederate
flags taken by United States troops, max
ing a total of $50 in the custody
Of the department. When they were re-
ceiyed they were deposited In n vacant
attic room of a building on Seventeenth
street, occupied by the clerks of the nd.
jutant generals office. In1S67 the super
intendent of the buildings, without in
structions, as far as can be ascertained,
had q few of them removed to his office,
where a few were placed upon the walls,
and the remainder upon the shelves or in
pigeon holes. At this time an inventory
of these flags was entered in a book, in
which was also entered O description and
brief history Of the capture of those
that could be identified as belonging to
particular organizations. They remained
here until the latter part of 1874. The
report states that while some Of the Con-
federate flags had since been given to the
companies or regiments capturing them,
none have passed put of the custody of
the department. that were in such Gus
tody when Secretary Endicott assumed
charge of the department.. The order to
return the flags, and the order revoking
1t, are given, and the statement
is made that no flags were
actually removed under the first order.
AS to the law requiring che public exhi-
bition of captured flags and trophies, it is
assumed that proper construction was
put upon 1t by former secretaries If the
war and navy, that the law applied to
trophies taken from a foreign enemy,
and not to those taken during domestic
hostilities.
Consideration of the report was de-
ferred until it ID printed, and when it
comes again In the honse, it is likely to
prove o lively political discussion.
