the Proposed Disposition
of Volunteers.

COLUMBUS, May 2s.-The announce
ment from Washington that the troops
from this state under the second call
will be all assigned to regiments in the
field to fill them to the maximum
strength has put damper on the re.
cruiting efforts, and Governor Bushnell
anticipates some delay in filling the
new quota.
He stated that Ohio would furnish
the quota under any conditions, but he
did think it quite fair to make the gov.
ernors of the states recruiting officers
for the organizations in the field. "It
MEANS" said he, "that they will furnish
all the officers at Washington, and all
we will have to do is to furnish the
men. Well, guess we can do it"

The man sat well down in the orchestra
chairs, and as soon as the curtain dropped
on the last act of "Iu Old Kentucky" he
began to figure on getting out before the

first move was 10 forget all the laws Of pro
