FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
Senate.
. Washington, March 10.
A bill was reported from the Indian Com
mittee for the relief of the Stockbridge and
Munzee Indians in Wisconsin.
The funding hill was proceeded with. An
| amendment by Mr. Howard, to authorize the
! national honks to go to the treasury and ex
change bonds already deposited for in the
I hill, was rejected. 14 to 23.
Mr. Sherman opposed the amendment a>
I superfluous, and tending to complicate tin
rbill.
Mr. Hamlin supported it. charging that th
iol! as it stood would work great injustice t
the national hanks.
Mr. Buckingham said that the government
had no right to diminish the value of its ob
ligations and compel the banks to take them.
Mr. Mierman answered that the hank - i
ought to bear their share of the puUlc bur
dens. arid were asked t<* yield only one halt
of one per cent, interest on their bank-,
while in return they would receive bonds ex
[ einpt from income tax and all other taxa
' tfon.
Further discussion ensued on the provi
sions of the hill, as effecting national banks
Mr. Conkling charictcrized them as litth
better than repudiation.
Mr. Buckingham moved to strike out the
8th section.
Mr. Casscrly advocated an entire reform
and reconstruction of the national hanking
system, while Mr. Sumner maintained the
right of Congress to coerce the bank9 into
aking the new bonds.
The Senate then adjourned.
House.
Mr. Logan ot Illinois stated that there
were 509 supernumary officers on the first oi
Xovinihcr. and the first section of the bil»
provides for the hoard of examination to in
vestigate claims, records and qualifications ot
all officers below Brigadier Generals. Hi
recommends that those be retained, and tin
others to be recommended for vacancies
which may occur w thin six months. And
all officers not then on active duty, to in
musttrtdoui with one ytars pay and allow
ancet.
Mr. Logan proceeded to compare the unm
ber ot stall officers of the American army
with tl ose of European armies.
Our army of 37.000 men has 633 staff offi
I cers, 313 more than in 13 -0. Hussia with an
| trmy of 8- *0,000 im n has a staff corps of 360.
i Prussia with am army ot 500,000 men had a
•taffof 100. Austria with an army of 500.000
j men had a staff of 165, and Italy the same.
He redicuh d the idea of puttiug major gen
erals and brigadier generals at the head ot
! the quarter-masters and commissary depart
I ments. * h n their duties were to he judges
■ of hoots and shoes, and hats and bean soup.
Laughter.) The paymaster* department
was alt-o too large. In the European armies
the troops were paid by civilians, who drew
pay as clerks. The third, fourth anti fifth sec
tions provide that the offices of general and
lieutenant general of the army, shal continue
until a vacancy shall occur, and no longer.
And that there shall be only three Major
Generals and six Brigadier Generals alter
the first of September, 1870, to be elected by
the President, without regard to the seniority
of the others mustered out. 'Flic sixth sec
tion provides that the Quarter Master, Com
missary Paymaster, Surgeon. Judge. Advo
cate Generals and Chief of Ordinance shall
have the rank and pay of colonels, but the
present incumbents may continue at that
i rank.
Tl e 8th section repeals the act of August
3d, 18()1, relative to retired officers, and pro
vides that the number retireed be at the dis
r4 tion of the President, but not to exceed
250.
1 he 9th abolishes brevet rank, and forbids
tlie assumption ot a title or the wearing of a
uniform of higher rank than actually held.
The lltli forbids army officers to hold civil
office, whether by election or appointment.
He referred in that connection to the case of
General Butterfield, dismissed from the civil
| service for connection with the gold opera
tions in New York. I ut still holding the rank
• »f colonel in the army, and not court mar
tialed: hence the two things were incompat
ible.
The 12th repeals the second section of the
act of the 30th of June, 1800, which makes
the general of the army superior to the Pres
ident.
He regarded that law as both unconstitu
tional and improper.
If General Sherman wore to perpetrate the
highest crime, he could not be arrested, or
relieved or court martialcd by the President.
The 13th section provided for transferring
the control of indian atiairs to the war de
partment. But alter he had read an account
of the Peigan massacre, his blood ran cold in
his veins, and he wanted to ask the committee
to strike out that section and let the indian
bureau remain where it is. and the committee
had agreed to it.
The 14th section regulates the pay of offi
cers.
Mr. Logan explained at length the work
ings of the present system of pay and allow
ances. The proper pay of a General in the
army was $4800, but he actually received
$10,278. J he pay of the Lieutenant General
was $3240. but he actually received $14,118.
The p <y of a Major GcTieral was $2(140. Gen
eral Hallct received $0002; General Meade
$9342; General Thomas $0524; Gen. Han
cock $9735; General Schofield $7432. These
fills would save in the pay of officers a
million and a half, and it is estimated that
the total saving would be three millions.
Mr. Logan spoke two hours in defence of
the bill, which was then considered for
amendments. Sections 4 and 13 were agreed
to. Section 14 was amended by providing
hat commissioned officers below the grade of
Brigadier General, shall receive ten per cent,
of the current year v pay for each term of
five years continuous service, provided that
the total ot such increase shall not exceed 4
per cent, of their regular pay. And that the
pay of a colonel shall in no case be more than
$*500. nor a Lieutenant Colonel more than
j $4000.
An additional section requiring that artillery
' officers shall pass an examination for promo
| tior, waa agreed to and tlu* bill was then
; pus el. and the House then adjourned.
Indian Affairs.
Chicago. March 10.
Gen. Sherman, in a letter to Gen. Sheridan,
i March 7th, says that the Peigan** were attacked
! on the application ot Gen. Sull^and those in
j the interior department, and that these jshould
i not be shocked at the result of their own re
j quest, and endeavor V> cast blame on you and
i Col. Baker is unfair. Gen. Sully, by <vm
! inunicating by telegraph for the use of Mr.
! C'ollyer, did an unofficer-like and wrong act,
and this will in the end stand to his discredit.
Gen. DeTrobyand, commanding Montana,
in forwarding Col. Baker’s report, speaks in
high praise of what he had done and recom
mends him for promotion.
Public meeting* have lately been held in
nearly every town in Montana, at which Col.
Baker’s action was strongly endorsed.
Gen. Sheridan, in a letter to Senator Ross,
of Kansas, say* : “Gen. Schofield has report
ed to me that he consiflers war inevitable with
the very Indians we have been feeding for the
last year. We are very much embarrassed
by the apparant sympathy of members of
Congress, and humanitarians generally, who
seem to forget that all we require of the In
dians is that they shall not murder our people.
There will be no Indiana killed or injured if
they will comply with this very reasonable
condition.
