CONGRESS-.

Tho House Committee on Pensions. have
agreed to report fayorably bill granting Gen.
Franz Sigel, late Major-General of Volunteers
a pension Of 500 per month. Gen. Sigel is in
rather straitened circumstances and is growing
old.
An important bill affecting the efficiency Of
the Army was favOraby reported 10 the House
from the Committee on Military Affairs by Mr.
Cutcheon, the Chairman Of the committee. last
week. The bill Is designed 10 carry out, in
part, the suggestions so cogently made by the
Secretary of War relative to the pay Of nom
commissioned officers of the infantry, cavalry
aud artillery branches Of the Army. 1t has
received the Endorsement of the present Secre-
tary and his Bureau Chiefs, and the subject
was exhaustiyely discussed by Secretary Proc
tor in his last annual report TO Congress. The
bill provides practically system Of selection
Of Sergeant-Majors and Regimental Quarter
master Sergeants Of the nOn-cOmmssiOned
staff, ana First Sergeants Of companies Of the
line of the service, who are to receive the same
pay as SergeRnts Of Engineers, which is about
S32 per month, with usual increase for length
of service. The Secretary in his report states
that while the pay Of the Second Lieutenant is
SIG per month, the First Sergeant only re-
ceiyes S32 per month. The committee in \
report express the opinion that good First
Sergeant is quite as necessary 10 a company as
a Second Lieutenant, and his duties are more
Onerous. The committee also believe that the
beneficial effects of the measure would at once
be felt throughout the Army, and would result
in an abatement Of the discomfort and listless-
ness now prevailing. and esprit de corps would
take possession Of the non-eommissiOned Off
GERS Of the Army, which would permeate the
rank and file. Secretary Proctor, in indOrs-
ing the bill, says there can be no moro impor-
tant step taken for the improvement Of the
Army than 10 make the position Of the higher
non commissioned officers better worth stTiy-
ing for, thus attracting better class of young
men 10 the enlisted service.
A member of the South Dakota Legislature
introduced a resolution on Thursday, Jan. g.,
which recites the fact that United States Sem
ators Moody and Pettigrew were away from
Washington trying 10 re-elect Senator Moody,
and that il was the sense Of the Legislature
that these public servants could best satisfy
their constituents by devoting their time and
abilities by attending 10 the duties for which
they were elected, and allow the Legislature
to select o successor 10 Senator Moody without
their help. The resolution was referred.
Representative Pickler has introduced .
joint resolution authorizing the Secretary Of
War to issue to South Dakota 1000 rifles and
200 rounds Of ball cartridge for each rife, to
enable the authorities of that State to assist
the Government in protecting citizens and
their property against depredatiOns by the In
dams.
