his successor. has a clerk at 800 per month,
and ~ office at 500 66 per month. His clerk
| is his law-partner and the office for which the
State pays is his private law-oiiicc. Or if not,
| il is al least true that in 1862, when Gen. Wa
terbury was plain Mr.. Waterbury. he had bis
law office at No. l02 Broadway and that Henry
w. Allen had his office with him, and was I'M
derstood to be his partner and that in lo6' the
Directory shows the same state OF things, while
the records at Albany disclose that Gen. Water
bury clerk il named Henry W. Allen, and the
office for which the State pays is at No. lO2
Broadway. But these may be only curious CO.
medicines.
Gov. Morgan did not find il necessary to have
an Engineer-n-C Chief, or Commissary of Sub
sistence, but Gov. Seymour has both, at an ex-
pcnse of 5000 and $3.50 per month respectively.
The Engneer-in-C Chief is detailed to the Adju-
tant. Generals Department, while the Commits
sary of Subsistence, We suppose, finds full en-
ploymcnt in subsisling himself.
In 1862 the Governors three aids, the Mill
tary Secretary, and The clerks in his office, re-
ceived S77l &c per month, part of it paid from
the military appropriation and part from the
civil. In 1868 no aid has been appointed till
recently but the Military Secretary aud clerks
receive 1907 One aid has now been appointed,
who will doubtless receive the pay of a Colonel,
$50 per month.
Beside these staff departments authorized by
law, there are two or three officers peculiar to
the present emergency. While many troops
were organizing at the outset of the war, and
when everything was unsystcmatized, Gov.
Morgan detailed three militia officers o. com
mandan,s of depot at NcwYork, Albany, and
Elmira, respectively, but he dispensed with
these a, independent offices at the commence
ment of 1862. Gov. Seymour has rcestab-
lished one Of these, that at New.York, and Col.
EIoratio Seymour Lansing is Commandant OF
Ncw-York troops" with pay of $50 per month
and clerks at S2Ij Pc month more.
| Gov Morgan had an efficient State agent at
Washington who was paid $ 800 q year. Gov.
Seymour has some one there, who, 10 say the
least. performs the duties no better than his
predecessor, and draws 5000 per MONTH and 81
per day allowances.
Beside these We find two or three Offices not
known aud not needed when $4,000 troops were
raising. though the sudden recruitment of 1900
troops IN Fix months has shown their necessity
to Gov Seymour. OF these. John I. Seymour,
the Goyernor's brother. gets 5000 per month
o.
SlG6 III per month and expenses. while a third
abused individual has 10 content himself with
500. What they DO beside drawing their pay
