resolution introduced last week by the
Rev. J. A. Kern asking for an investiga-
tion as to the means employed in securing
an appropriation from the Fifty-fourth
Congress of s2Ss, ,0000 for the destruction By
Union troops of church property at Nash
ville Tenn, during the Civil War. AT the
time of introducing this resolution DIR.

take some action in the matter, as it was
charged that over 100000 had been en-

forts TO further consider the matter proved
