are on the way. which will swell the.
amount to aboat three millions. One
itsn waich has swelled this ameaut is the
large payments to substitutes and local
bounties to reoraits, which wsre net pais
to the men until mastered in here, and
forwarded to their re giments. Thssmount
collected at the barracks in this city, on
this acccuat. has nearly equaled the
wa0ie ainouat of eolleotiens last year
Owing to the csastant maving OF tha
arnies during the summer czmpsign, i
was inpractisable to pay the troops. The
payments were crowded into the fall
mosths, and the pay agents were harr:
pressed in naking cellsctisas; and, il
"a ANY. cases, seriously =. aud. in some, dan
ger ously delayed in making their rsturns.
The ansant of this fund in the Treasury
on the 18th Nsyem Der, was 1888, sos II;
of athis, thesuua Of sfnSh3057l a5 was paid
