The President derives his informa tion from orders given by the war department while th* senator se cures his intelligence from the field of execution or lack of execution of these orders. It would lie remark' able if there were not differences derived from the two viewpoints. It was unfortunate that Senator Chamberlain should choose to mars his views public before a New York audience, instead of before the United States senate, of which he is a trusted member.
