Mr.. Blackburn asked whether, IS the
bill authorized the increase Of the cavalry
companies 70 one hundred men, there
was really any reduction OF the force
contemplated by the bill.
Mr. Foster said there was 81 increase
in one way and decrease in another, but
he would refer the gentleman 70 the
chairman OF the committee,
Mr.. Atkins replied that If the cavalry
companies were increased 10 100 men
each the whole cavalry force would be
10000 men, but the language OF tie bill
was that cavalry companies might be re
cruited TO 100 men each, and not that
they should be.
Mr.. Blackburn suggested that Is each
of the ten cavalry regiments consisted Of
twelve companies that 1t would make n
force of 1900 cavalry.
Mr. Conger suggested whether there
Ough. not 10 be u provision to the bill 10
allow q moderate rate OF interest on the
pay already due, and he lnstsnced 3 case
in which the widow of dead soldier had
to sell her claim for pay at 5 per cent Of
the whole amount, IN order 10 get the
means to bury her husband
Mr.. Money asked Mr.. Conger 10 give
names and particulars Of that case.
Mr.. Conger-The gentleman need not
rush with such slacity after the case. 1t
is enough for me 10 say that have had
information within the last twenty-tour
hours
Mr.. Money-It the gentleman has any
information, l would respectfully ask
him for it.
Mr.. Conger VIII the gentleman con-
tain his soul in patience
Mr.. Money! simply ask for his in
formation. doubt his ability 10 give II.
Mr.. Conger-It is barely possible tnat
the gentleman takes this way to IntI-
mate that the intormtion have received
is Incorrect. If so, there is a more cour-
teous way to convey it. Laughter. J
When the gentleman has been longer
in the House and learned Its courtesies
better laughter =
Mr.. Money! cannot learn them from
the gentleman.
