Their Pay.
Reading Pa. Eagle.
Mrs. Rosa Griffith, wife Of Capt. D. A.
Griffith, Third United States infantry, sends.
to the Eagle an account Of the terrible
march of the regiment to their new post at
Missoula. She says:
"The regiment, which had been stationed
in the south for some year, was ordered to
the Pennsylvania coal region during the
strike riots of last summer, and was then
suddenly ordered west to assist in subduing
Chief Joseph and his Nez Perces Indians.
They went to Corinne, U. T., and from there
we're ordered to Montana, several of the
companies being ordered to Helena, and the
balance ofthe regiment to the new post at
Missoula. The hardships en1ured BY the
troops during the tramp of over six hun
dred miles were terrible. The men of the
command were ill-prepared, by reasons Of
their long residence IN New Orleans, for
the rirors Of early winter in the Rocky
mountains, and their suferings were acutely
intense. During . part of the journey they
we're exposed to a terrible snow-storm, with
the thermometer at IS degrees below zero.
Not an officer or soldier was provided with
oyershoes or gloves. Not a few of the men
we're nearly barefooted and added to the
agony Of freezing feet was the additional
torture Of being forced t, grip the cold steel
Of their muskets with naked hands day after
day. When the regiment left New Orleans
there were not IS in possession o foficers and
men. The women and children belonging
to the command, including the wives and
offspring of the officers numbered thirty-two,
and the transportation for these Of course
had to be secured at individual expense. 1t
is said but for the timely aid Of friends, who,
understanding the impecunious condition OF
the rank and file, advanced a little money
out of their private means, these dependent
and destitute followers Of the camp must
have suffered abandonment in their time Of
greatest need. On the march northward to
Corinne several Of the women and children
fell sick under the terrible exposure and for
weeks their lives were almost despaired of.
The transportation outfit allowed the COM
mand was limited to the ambulances. As
there was not a dollar Of money in the regi.
ment, the aimple,t wants of the sick could
not be gratiied, as the isolated ranchmen
and hunters in the country refused to part
With anything when the cash was not forth
coming. Finally, as the regiment was near.
ing the end of their march, ragged, ~footsore,
penniless and shivering, some of the officers
sold their pay-rolls for cash, but not without
the sacrifice Of discount of twenty-five per
cent. on the dollar"

REPoET FOR THE YEAR 1877.
Grosci,,g Popularity of the Society.
The council, in presenting their
twelfth annual report, do so with the
pleasant consciousness that it is the
record of continued success in the
transactions of the society, and con-
sequently Of increased usefulness to
the coramunity They are able also.
with the qualification which naturally
flows from the recognition by those
benefited Of purely philanthropic ef-s
forts in their behalf, to assure the
society of a growing appreciation of
the excellence Of its objects, and of
increased popularity among the COM
munity in all parts Of the colony.
Foreig,, Relations.
Our foreign relations have been
well maintained where they were pre-
yiously established, while new con-
nections of no slight promise have
been formed during the year. In
order that the extensive ramifcations
of our foreign correspondence may be
understood, the following list is fur
nished of new countries and localities
with which active communication is
maintained. These are as follows:
Africa -Capetown. Natal. Algiers. India
Assam. Bangalore, Burmah. Calcutta,
Codoor, Lucknow. Madras, POena. Sahar-
unpur, Sind. United States of America
California, Connecticut. Georgia, Louisi-
ana. Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, New
York, New Jersey. Washington. Azores,
Batavia, Brazil, Belgium, Canada, Ceylon,
Chilli Egypt, England, FIJI, Gibraltar.
Germany, Hongkong, Hungary, Honduras,
Honolulu, Jamaica, japan, Mauritius, New
Guinea. New Zealand, New Caledonia, New
Siam, Spain, Tasmania, Trinidad, Victoria,
Western Australia, West Indies, Zanzibar.
In some Of the countries named
correspondence is maintained with
more than one locality, while in other
places the society has several CORES
Dondents. The satisfactory nature
of the relations existing can be gath
cred from the files of letters received,
and from the press-letter books, by
any member who has the leisure and
curiosity to peruse them.
AcctimatSsGtson in Tropical Queens

The hot, moist coast lands OF North
ern Queensland are providing a home
for many of the society's tropical in
productions. A teak tree on the
Lower Herbert, four years after plant

height of 25 feet, covering space of
Is feet. The weeping fig Of India,
the jaca, and others, are making noble
trees there, and even further south I;

other things that will not suit Bris-
bane, are reported as growing with
vigor from Rockingham Bay north

Substantial aid has been received
from the owners Of steam ana sailing
vessels during the year in the carry
ing Of the society's consignments to
and fro Tosome of them the society
is under deep obligation, not only for
their hberality in making no charge
for freight but for much intelligent
and obliging assistance received from
their agents, officers, and servants.
It is not to much to say that, without
their service, the societies operations
would be greatly restricted, and their 4
sphere of usefulness be proportionate-
~ narrowed. - 4

CT Syd5aey.
The vice-president, having visited
Sydney in April last in connection
with the intercolonial exhibition, was
able to bring back with him very
large number of plants which greatly 4
enriched the society's collection. The a
council desire to record their sense
of the open-handed liberality eyince 4
towards the society by both profes-
slonal ana amateur hortlcnlturIsts ln
and about Sydney treatment which
they lose no opportunity of reeipro- Il

\ COMPROMISE.

The Greenback party in Missouri have
Iust held their convention and pronounced
their opinions financial. The most salient
point in their pronouncemcnt is that they
call for ''the issue OF Grecnbacks equal to
gold and silver" Who can object to this
1t is Il platform upon which all may stand.
y paper currency at par with gold and
silver would be universally acceptable.
These Nissourians plainly have 10 idea OF a
currency "redeemablc in nothing" The
Greenbackers said nothing further than
this. But Of course all things essential to
maintaining the par value OF the greenback
paper with coin must be inferred. 1t would
be an insult 10 the party to suppose that
they have not sagacity enough to know that
such par value could only be maintained by
preventing any excessive issue OF paper be-
yond that relative amount to coin that made
the equality in value. Unless The Green
1,ackers who proclaimed the plan were fools
they understood this and had it in view at
the time.
We hope all the gay and festive Green
hackers will promptly give in their adhe-
sion to the definite plan propounded by the
Missourian GreenbackcrS. 1t will do them
great good and make their position strong
by concentration. They will not waste
their energies upon unlimited schemes run
ming up to several thousand millions OF
greenbacks, and grecnbacks three ieet oeep
upen the whole wide area OF the country,
and all that. But they will come right
down, sensibly and solidiy, to an issue Oh
grccnbacks that shall be at par 1gNh So!@
and si!ver; that issue, and that exactly
which shall not be too small or too large TO
he at mar with the coin Of the nation. There
can DC 70 more safe and Just doctrine.

Radical Folly.

One 81 the weak and malicious acts OF the
Radicals OF the House was the resolution
proposing to amend the Constitution SO rs
70 prevent the payment OF the claims OF
:.disloyal persons" The resolution was
Dassed by rho House, but did not receive
the attention OF The Senate. 1t called 1or
an amendment OF the Constitution forbid
ding the payment OF claims for damages
sustained during the war toany person who
was disloyal to the Government OF the
United States.
Such ciat,se in the Constitution would
be ridiculous. We OF the South care no.
thing upon the subject. ANY claim that
any Confederate may have is altogether out
of the question. But the insertion OF such
an amendment in the Constitution would
be strange, and exhibit the nation in most
unfayorable light. The amendment itself
might add such strength to the claims OF
loyal citizens that it might be taken as some
what mandatory. That would lncite the
more ingenious part Of the nation to the
employment OF devices by which claims III
the hands OF the disloyal" might be trans
ferred TO the ownership OF the "truly
loiI.'' Such claims could be acquired at
low figures and become the subject OF a
grand speculation.

Maryland Journal.
We have repeatedly pointed out to the
IVhig the glaring mistakes it makes about
the rate OF taxation in Virginia compared
with other States. In Maryland and many
other States the State taxes are lower than
in Virginia, but the county taxes are much
higher. In those States the counties bear
many burdens which are in Virginia i'm
posed on the State. Taking State and
county taxes together, the only fair way 10
estimate, and we affirm, after personal in
quiry, that the rate OF taration IN Virginia
is louer than in any State IN the Union
,cith t,co exceptions. Our prince Edwardl
taxes would be nearly double what they
are il the county rate was as high rs in
Anne Arundel county, Maryland, and yet
the State fax is less in Maryland than IN
Virginia. riNe Nercury.

A Good---Not o Baa---Exhibit.

The communications from the treasurer
and Secant, Auditor OF the State, and the
editorial remarks thereon. which appeared
In the Vh;g yesterday, reed q word OF com
men, IN order that tue financial condition
az the State may DC properly understood:
The Treasurer reports that for the eight
months ending May 3lst $l,Sio,1seW IN
currency and SS40,GS6.59 in coupons have
been received into the treasury. This
makes the receipts s2,65i, a76G 5 for these
eight months instead OF Sl,Si0.'S9.00' as
supposed by the Wing.
But there is more to be said: During the
month OF June the final settlements Of tue
treasurers are made with the Auditor Tor
the taxes assessed for the year 1877, and
large amount OF revenue is paid in. 1t is
understood that these settlements have been
very satisfactory so far. Ii may be safely
assumed, then, that the receipts from all
sources by next October will largely exceed
Ss,00o.oo0. The receipts last year for June,
July, August, and September amounted to
S9p5, 177.2S. Add this TO the receipts al
ready reported, and VIC have over $780,
600 against little over IS, 600, 900 last year
II so. as it appears by the letter OF the Sec
ond Auditor, that already $S40,GS6.59 oil
COUPONS have come in, and the amount now
out and to fall due on the 1st OF July next
reaches $l.266,4l6 making in all S2,n','
1920, we will have received enough into
the Treasury to pay all the coupons ana to
leave enough for the ordinary expenses OF
government, according to the estimate OF
the Auditor even before the reduction Of
salaries made by the last Legislature.
\ moments reflection will satisfy anyone
that the coupons falling due the 1st Of Jul,
next cau't be used in the payment OF any
OF the revenue assessed for the year 1871
as that will have been paid to the treasurer;
before now, and the treasurers have DO RICH
to pay ans coupons to the Auditor not pait
TO them BY the Taxpayers.
The idea that all the coupons outstandin!
will be brought in within 4 few months Il
entirely unsupported by the experience o
the past. DurinS'no year have these cou
pous falling due been presented to an
amount over Sl.00),00o, while between
. SLIGO, 600 and Sl.20o,O0O become due an
nualy.
General ROGERS says there were 81, 0322, 03S
outstanding on Tie 1st ci October last; and
about 100000 fell due lust January. YET
only SSt0,GS6.59 have been paid into the
treasury. So that If part OF the tax for 1871
were still uncollectcd there would be nc
danger OF more than hali Of the balance be.
ing paid in coupons.
Tinall:. let us say that the figures OF Mr..
HUNTER and General ROGERS are so encour-
aging that we fear there may be 4 mistake
in them.
