The lii 70 cqualizc the pay Of white and col
ored troops was again under discus ion in the
Senate yesterday, and again postponed without
action. from the very meagcr report with
which we are favored, we gather that the oppo.
position expects TO Garry some modification of
Inc present provisions Of this bill, either striking
out Inc retroactive portion Of it, or leaving the
matter Of back pay Discretionary with the See
rotary OF War. The country will not be saii.
fed with either result. The facts which entitle
the colored troops TO full pay from the date Of
their enlistments have been spread oil over the
North. Especially the statements which
irst appeared in this Journal concern
ing the treatment by The Government of
the troops in Gen. Gillmorc's Department,
were very extensively copied, aud have excited
a deep feeling which will not be allayed by any
half measures OF redress. Those statements
nobody has attempted to contradict specifically
though one or two Senators talk as il they were
ignorant of them. They cannot b9 refuted, and
