j. The reductions in the pay oi the higher
officers we approve, but We should like To know
what is meant by reducing the pay OF CorPorals
Musicians and Private Soldiers Is not scyenor
eight dollors month little enough for men who
are obliged TO march day and night IN al weather,
over all roads and none, often sleep under open,
stormy skies, end have frequent chances to DC
shot thrown in as extra War ls hard, horr-
bic trsse at best, but 10 Gu, down poor soldiers
pay from seven or eight dollars month TO slx Is
abolnluable Cut down the number much as
you please, but leave them the means OF buying
an occasionaI alienation Of their hard fare. And
besides, if this change is intended to apply 10
soldiers already enlisted at the present dates, We
say it is clear violation of contrac:s-a Nation
al reputation, which in all fairness will release
eye.: soldier from the service. We trust the SEN
ale viii arrest this glazing injustice.
