Every dollar pledged by the State to the officials
here in Raleigh, is promptly paid, whether they do
much or little service. Some of these officials too,
it is said, havebeen purchasing from the government
coffee, sugar, molasses, and the like at government
prices, while other people as good as they are are
paying high war prices for these articles Governor
Clark receives $4,000 per year, his two Aids some
$500 each, and General Martin some 81, 900 or
$4,000 The State pledged itself to pay them these
salaries, and they are receiving them; and yet the
poor soldier who is over thirtyfVe years of age to
whom the State has paid fifty dollars bounty, or is
pledged to pay it, is required to lose this bounty
and is sent home penniless at his own expense j
And this in violation of ordinance of the Conven-
ton.
By the way as Gen. Martin attends to all militia
ry matters what does Gov. Clark want with too
Aids: That functonary, in his sudden zeal for saw
Ing money, might dismiss one or both of his Aids,
and thus some four five thousand dollars per
annum, without practicing his small economy
at the expense of the soldiers and in violation of the
pledged word of the State
