New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-08-12

An interesting relic and memento of tbs
old French and Indian wars in this coun-
try has been on exhibition in the depart
ment of arms and trophies of the Sanitary
Fair at Chicago. 1t is the muster-roll of a
militia company raised by Captain Noah
Grant, great grandfather of General U. S.
Grant, and bears date March 26, 1855.
Captain Grant and his brother, Lieutenant
Solomon Grant, were afterward killed at
the battle of White Plains, New York, in
the Revolutionary war.
Affixed To the name on the roll is the
amount of wages received by each soldier,
generally for the period OF twenty-five
weeks, which was probably the period
they were required to serve. The money
is reckoned in pounds, shillings,and pence,
The pay of Captain Grant for that period
was at the ratesOf less than $3.50 year,
and not quite dollar q day; and the pay
ofa private for the same term was,some-
thing less than two dollars week. 1t will
readily be seen that the difference between
the pay of commissioned officers and pri-
Yates was not so great in this country q
hundred years ago as it. is to-day, the pay
ofa private at that time being about one
third as large as that received by a cap
tain

From the recent great success Of the
government carrency Of this country,
from the immense losses we have sustained
from local banks, as well as the entire
failure of the banks to furnish plenty Of
good currency, no principle in political
economy is better established than this;
that it is quite as important for govern
ment to have exclusive control OF the
issues Of its paper money as its coir, and
that there should be no paper money
allowed but that issued by the govern
ment ITSELF
The above is from the Louisville (Ky.)
Courier, an intensely Democratic paper.

The military authorities have reliable
statements concerning the much talked Of
riot of negroes at Milliken, Texas. There
was no gathering of bands Of armed blacks;
no prolonged resistance, nor any resort 10
forti6cations. A company of twenty me-
groes, who were searching for the body Of
one of their friends, supposed to have been
hung, was set upon by rebel sheriff and
some volunteer help. Six were killed out
right and the rest dispersed. Banda Of
mounted and armed whites then secured
the whole section, and shot down nearly
sixty Of the negroes who were most IN
fiuential among their felleW blacks.
