discrimination is made against the man VINO sacri-
feed most and whose claim npon the bounty OF the
Government is greatest. Nor does this provision
apply alone TO officers to be retired after the en-
actment of this bill into law, for another section
declares that the officers now on the retired hst

ONE CRITICISM on THE ARMY BILL.

QUEER FEATURE IN RESPECT TO THE PAY RE-
TIRED OFFICERs-A DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
VOLUNTEERS.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WAsuINGToN Dec. 20.-SOme of the provisions of
the new Army bill, prepared by the Burnside Com
mission, make changes in existing laws which will
be sure to give rise to discussion in Congress, as
they have already provoked the criticism of men in
terested in the Army.
One of these relates to the pay of retired officers
BY the present law, officers retired from active
service receive 70 per cent of the pay of the rank upon
which they are retired" no discrimination being
made in pay Oh account OF length of service The
new bill provides that officers transferred to the
tired list OH account of age length of service
shall thereafter be entitled to receive 2 per cent
of the current yearly pay of the rank upon which
they are retired for each years service rendered,
either as an officer o soldier in the regular or
volunteer service provided that the retired pay of
an officer under this section shall in case exceed
so per cent of the pay of rank upon which he is re
tired.
There are other provisions fixing the pay Of Off
GERS retired account Of disability resulting from
any incident of the service, but with those the
criticisms referred to have nothing to do. The COM
plant is that the section above quoted will work
great injustice TO volunteer officers who entered the
regular army at the close of the and have since
been retired or may vet be retired. For instance,
if there are two officers of equal rank to be retired
this year on account of age, Of iwhom was edu-
Gated at West Point at the expense OF the Govern
ment. and has served his forty years, making
creditable record but not greatly distinguish
ing himself, and another who left a profitable
business at the very time when his opportunities lor
gaining q competency were greatest, and went INTO
the army at the call of patriotism. making great
sacriices, and greatly distinguishing himself. the

Revised Statutes, making it ground ior
the challenge for a grand or petit Juror
that he took part in or gave aid OF comfort
to the rebellion. In making the revision ol
the statutes this section was accidentally retained
and reGnacted. In effect it makes 1t possible for
prosecuting attorney TO challenge a Juror who can
not take the iron-cad oath. Last session the
House repealed this section almost without oppost-
ton, and the Democrats of the Senate were anxious
that the bill should pass that body before tho ho!I-
day recess in order that it might receive the sigma
ture of the President at once But Section
s21, though not as stringent In its provisions as
the preceding one, is also obnoxious to the Demo
Gratis and the House included the repeal of that III
