This resolution elicited protracted de- bate. and th was withdrawn, and a resolu- ‘ y Dr. es, requiring the Committee on Constituent Conferences to report mediately what Conferences have voted for a Convention, was adopted. A resolution that the bouns of the West Virginia Conference be extended so as toembrace the original Muskingum District, Ohio, was referred. On moon of Dr. C. W.

Mr. Wilson called up the bill to reduce the number of officers in the army, and for other urposes, a substitute ipr the entire bill having cave by the Committee on Military Affairs. The first section of the substitate authorizes the President te reduce the number of enlisted an in the army to 25,000 on or before July 1, 1871, Mr. Wi'son said the House bill did not reduce the number of men, but only the officers. The present number of enlisted men was about 35,000), and this substitute proposed « reduction of 10,060 which would be asaving of six or seven millions. . Mr. Pomeroy said thig would not save to the ‘Treasury a dollar, a8 by the bill not to be redueed until more than a y. this time, and Con, would be in session again before that time. The Secretary of War was a Senators that the army ought not to duced. ‘ison said within next year the term of enlistment of some eight or twenty thou- sand n €a would expire, and it was discretionary with the President to reduce the army if the needs of the country would permit it, and if we did not have an Indian war he did not think there was any doubt.as to the fact of the reduc tion being practicable so as to bring the army down, rank and file, to 25,000 men. e cost of each man averaged about $650, and if 10,000 men were dispensed with the saving would’ be 86,£00,000. Mr. Pomeroy did not approve of this feature of the bill. If the army was to be reduced it should be done instanter. Mr. Ross 0} any reduction in the army, at least until there was Some dilferent line of Indian policy adopted. As it was now, force was the only means by which the Indians were kept down. Now, when the Western represen- tatives applied to the Executive for troops to protect the frontier, they were told that there were no troops available. It would not do to peril the interests of the country in the West to the amount Yor the purpose of saying a few hundred thousands here. Mr. Wilson said that at the close of the rebel- In 1666 we to 54,000 or 55,000 men, but with a proviso that it could be’ increased to 80,006. It had been steadily decreased since, and it was thought that it could still be de- vas agreed, after some discussion, to pass over this section, and as the bill was read sec tion by section, that Mr. Wilson, the Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, should explain the provisions. Phe second, tuird, amd! fourth sections were read. They provide for the honorable discharge of officers who may apply before October 1, with graduated pay and allowances, according to the time they have been fn the service; to place on the retired list on their.own application officers who may have been thirty years in the service. and making the number of officers to be retired —— with the President, but not to ex- coe Mr. Wilson said by the consolidation of in- fantry regiments there were now about 40 su- perfluous officers, including 15 colonels, 18 lieutenant colonels, and 2! Out of these 480 it was thought that at least 100 might be placed on the re! list. The fifth section provides that the grade of general and Keutenant general shall continue until @ vacancy occurs and no longer. ‘Mr. Warner this as arefiection upon the present occupants of this position, as indica- tg that there was no real necessity for such officers.
