Speculation as to the successor of Chief Justice

The many democratic admirers OF First Assist

Attorney-Genera Garland is spoken of In some
quarters as probably the coming man,
Representative Collins, Of Massachusetts, has

A subcommittee Of the House military commit.
tee to-day began the investigation Of alleged in.
sertions in the Rebellion Records OF unofdcfal
matter as set out In the Grosvenor resolution.
Lieut. Col H. NJ Lazelle, In charge OF the publica-
tion, was the rst witness Mr.. Cutcheon called his
attention to the appendix OF vol 90 part 2 series
i, OF the ReDeili0n Records. giving what purports
to be list of the members Of the Anderson
Cavalry OF Pennsylvania, who went to the front,
and engaged in the battle Of Murfreesborough.
(The list did not agree with that In the body OF
the report.l
CHIEF CLERK TwEEDALEs REQUEST.
The witness said that on october LIST last the
senior clerk OF his ONCE said that Chief Clerk
Tweedale, OF tho War Department desired to
have the names of that organization OF which he
was member, Incorporated in the records, and
that he would request the Government of
Pennsylvania TO furnish the list. II not be would
get the information himself october 90 list OF
the names was received from the Adjutant-Gen-
eral, which the certificate stated had been made
from the Official report to Gen. Rosecrans and had
been carefully prepared with the Official records
OF the Office and found to be correct. such
certificates had always been regarded as SUFFICIENT
basis for publication. A part OF the endorsement
stated that the list had been copied from the
Philadelphia Inquirer OF February 10, 1863, but
that excited no comment because 1t was known
that many newspapers had published strictly Cor
rect reports during the war.
In Volume 20, part l, was a letter from
SECRETARY STANTON TO REV. Mr.. DYER,
which witness had found in the stereotype forms
and called to the attention OF the present Secre-
tary as improper matter. The Secretary said that
It's removal would DO even more improper, as the
letter had been inserted by COL Scout
ASSISTANT ApJUTANT-GENKRAL KELToN
was the next witness, and said that all the Adju-
tant-Generafs Office knew about the newspaper
Slip was that 1t had been handed In by Chief
Clerk Tweedale with the request that it be com.
pared with the muster rolls and verified. 1t had
been compared verified and certified.
Henry Douglass, chief clerk In the Adjutant
Generals Ofice. said he had compared the news
paper slip with the muster rolls and made
up the list OF names in the appendix
SHOWN the manuscript OF the list, the witness said
that 1t was not the list he made up. His recollec
ton was that all OF the names found in the news
paper article had been found In the muster rolls.
Mr.. Cutcheon, with the Witness began a com.
parison between the list published In the news.
paper and the muster rolls, with the result that
two names of persons set down as In the battle
could not be found on the muster rolls.
Adjourned till wednesday next.
