he had continued his objection. I believe he used the words "It is not true." I submit to you, sir, that it is not becoming the dignity of this Commission or of any member of this Commission that such scenes should occur, and I request that your record may be made distinct and positive on this point. I request that you may inquire whether my statement was correct; that you may consider among yourselves, and if you cannot agree, then that you may take the evidence of persons who were present as to whether the statement I made was correct or not. I am aware that this investigation is a tedious one; I am satisfied it is wearisome to every member of the Commission; it is unavoidably so to all of us. I have no desire to make it more so than is necessary. I consider the testimony which the witness was giving was proper and necessary in this investigation, and I have desired to bring nothing upon your record which I did not think proper and necessary.

General TYLER. I made the objection to the further answering of that question put by General Buell to General Granger, and the objection was noted, I believe, on the record. After General Buell made some observations to the court explaining the reason why he thought the question was a proper and pertinent one-

General BUELL. Allow me to interrupt. I do not desire any discussion between General Tyler and myself.

The PRESIDENT. (To General Tyler.) General, I must be allowed to say that, the record having been read before the Commission and fully canvassed in secret session, any remarks upon it are am proper. If General Buell, to whom we are willing to extend the utmost courtesy, has been allowed to make as peach, if it may be so called, it is nothing but fair that General Tyler be allowed to make a reply; but for my own part I would suggest that at this point the our may be cleared, that it may decide on the question raised by the remarks of General Buell.

General BUELL. I would suggest that this is the proper course. If there are any remarks to be made by General Tyler I do not wish to hear them.

The PRESIDENT. If these remarks are to stand upon the record General Tyler has certainly a right to reply in open court.

General Buell here retired, and the court being cleared, General Tyler continued his remarks.

General TYLER. I withdrew my objection. General Buell, as understood, subsequently asserted that I continued my objection after I had withdrawn it.

The following resolution was then adopted:

"The Commission are of opinion that the particular investigation request by General Buell are foreign to the subjects legitimately before it.

"The examination of Major-General Granger will therefore continueJanuary

On the court being opened-

General BUELL. I should like to hear all the record on this subject read from the time the witness was interrupted in his answer to the last question.

The PRESIDENT. The Commission have ordered that the examination should continue without further comment.

General BUELL. I wish nothing more than to verify the record of the remarks made by myself.

The PRESIDENT. At this time the object of the Commission is to proceed without further comment upon what has taken place this morning, and with that view I beg that you will permit the examination to lie over till you read the record from your own copy.
