The Hdr Of lol2.-Last night, a meeting of the |
surviving soldiers of The of 1872 resident in the
District of Columbia, held at the CITY Hal for
the purpose of making arrangements with respect 10
the Convention of the Veterans of 1872 which will |
be shortly held in Philadelphia TO enquire into tia
grievances uEder which they labor. The Injustice
of which they mostly complain is the fact that the
volunteers of the warof 1879 with Great Britain, |
have not been placed on an equal footing with re-
spect to gralutes for service the soldiers of the
line IN that war. or the military whether regular
or volunteer who were engaged In Mexico As the
complaint is general among this class of our old !
veterans, they have determined 10 in Cnnvrn-
ton at Philadelphia on the 9Th of next month to
take the subject as settled by the act of Congress in
$50, under consideration.
As a matter OF course. from the now distant period
at which they served there could not be very large
meeting, there might he thirty or forty present
who made pretty good show is representatives for
the District of Columbia alone. Tic following were
10 act officers OF the meetcg Colonel
J. :. Williams, President: General McCaIIa and
Captain DE la RocheS Vice Presidents; Jas Law
rrnson, Secretary.

The act OF 1850, large bounty III money and also
100 acres of land, and that the Mexican soldiers
Whether OF the line or volunteers received similar
bounty ut land, without regard 10 the length of ser
vice. Whilst the class 10 which the neetids be
lOnged were placed on inferior footing by the |
above mentioned law. The old soldiers even

hight their battles over again. General McCalIa OBJ
