He read the regulations now in force before the committee, pointing out their defects as he went along, and suggesting what changes needed, The commit- mittee authorized Gen. Sherman to prepare a report on the subject, to be subinitted and con- sidered at a future meeting. Tue Hovse To-Day passed. without a divis- ion, the bill introduced by Hon. Jas. G.
