tent during the last twelve months that dollar is not

few years since. The consequence has been that
the mechanic hs had his wages increased; the clerk in
every de artmnt and the aborer have mad their pay
advanced The employees and clerks ia the various de-
parments OF government have ali received large adj
vance Yet the Midshpmen and Lieutcnants and other
officers Of the Navy have not had their pay advanced
all While their duties have been great and their IA
miles increasing yet they all remain neglected and for
gotten. Although they have faithfully performed their
duty, they still kept the same pay. Their
penslon, in many grades, is less than that of clerk
mechanic. There is but little for
talent and enterprise remain in the Navy. We hiak
Congress should look into this and DO justice
