zen. GAINEs.--In the House bill
Tor, the payment of the volunteers
called out by Gen. Gaines, there was
a proviso that nothing should be con
strued into an approval ofthe conduct
OF General Gaines. This was regar.
ded by the Senate as reflection upon
the conduct of the General, and ac-
cordlngly 1t was stricken out before
the bill was passed. The veteran has
firm friends in the Senate, who are
determined that he shall have fair
hearing before he is condemned.-.N.
