The Presi- dent has also issned an executive order directing the withdrawal from public suleand settlement and the setting apart as an addition to the Navajo Indian reservation in New Mexico a strip of land fifteen miles long and five miles wide south of the San Juan river. This land formerly belonged to the reservation, and its occupation by settlers has given rise to con- flicts between the Indians and the whites. This tract is all desert and mountain land, with the exception of about two thousana acres of bot- tom land susceptible of irrigation in the San Juan valley, and it is necessy for the Indtans to puss over'this strip for water for their herds and flocks, SAYINGS AND DOINGS IN SOCIETY.

A FAVORABLE REPORT FROM THE HOUSE MILI- TARY COMMITTEE, The House committee on military affairs have submitted a favorable report upon the Dill to close the accountsof Col. Daniel McClure, assistant paymaster general of the army. Col. McClure graduated at West Point, but resigned after a short service. In 1858 he was appointed Paymaster, and has served continuously in that department ever since. He was twice promoted during the war for faithful and meri- torious services in the pay department. At the outbreak of hostilities he saved to the govern- ment $40,000, which was demanded by the Texas authorities as ee of the south. In 1872, after having handled immense sums of money, Col. McClure was startled by an offi- cial letter informing him that, his accounts were short to the extent of $33,843.04. Congress passed, an act authorizing the Court of Claims to hear the case, and if satis- fied that the moneys charged to him were not received by Col. MeClure, or ifany Just or equitable grounds existed for credits claimed by him, to give him such credit, ‘The court, aiter examination, was not satisfied from the evidence that the moneys charged to him were not in fact received by him,and the only credits it allowed were for $209.05 and $1,183.13.
