Upon this point there is considerable

event of their still being in the

be very many to partake of the delica-

their papers of dismissal by that time.
only some thirty will be left to enjoy the
Kindness of their benefactresses once more,
if the department decides the few who will
remain in the service form a sufficient

rAYMAsrnRs' WORK FINISHED.
Have Distributed $300,OOo Among
Lees Soldiers In the Last Week.


The government paymasters completed
their work of paying off the troops of
the Seventh Army Corps here yesterday.
The last regiment paid off was the Fourth
Virginia, by Mai. John r. Lynch. There
was some dissatisfaction among the men
over the fact that they Were paid off by
a colored paymaster, but there was no at
tempt at any demonstration. The Fourth
Virginia is too well disciplined for that.
Maj Lynch stated to a Morning News
reporter last night that any report to the
effect that he had been discourteously
treated by any of the officers or members
of the Fourth Virginia for any cause was
untrue.
II received nothing but courtesy and
respectful treatment from the hands of
everybody from the colonel down. l was
never more courteously treated by any
regiment"
Mai. Lynch said that during his several
months service as paymaster he had paid
off a number of Southern regiments,
and on but one occasion only
had he had any trouble. This was with
the officers of the First Texas Regiment at
Jacksonville, but IL amounted to nothing
se2ous, he said
an fact, the majority of regiments
which have been paid off by me We're
Southern regiments,S said Maj. Lynch.
1t is a fact worthy Of note that while
two of the three paymasters. who have
just completed paying off Lees corps, are
colored men, and the majority of the
troops are from Southern states there has
been no outbreak or demon
stration of hostility of any
kind against the paymasters on account
of their color. The Southern troops would
undoubtedly have preferred TO have been
paid off by men of their own color, but
both officers and men recognize the logic
of the situation, and yielded TO 1t as grace
fully as possible. The main thing with
the boys is to get their money and senti-
ment has to take back seat,
The three paymasters together distrib-
uted 10 the troops in Savannah in the last
few DAYS in the neighborhood of 5000 600,
a large part of which has already gone
into circulation. The soldiers are good
distributors, and while good deal of the
money is being sent away, 1t is safe TO
saw that two-thrds, at least, will be spent
| right here In Savannah If the Seventh
| Corps remains here long enough most of
| the saloon and restaurant men will be

| Mai. George r. Smith, paymaster, and
Mai. Logan left last night for Atlanta.
| Mai. Smith will go to Huntsville, Ala, in
| a dav or two to attend to paying troops
there. He will leave for Cuba within
short time, and will be made chief pay
master in the island.

ment OF Volunteers In New York city,
comprising over 300 men, including over
800 German veterans. The regiment was
known as 1.-THE Blues and Grays." It's

Were said an ex-member of the Fourth
Corps yesterday. II notice here that the
regiments have many conveniences that
we never dreamed of, and I wonder how
one command can fare so much better

they should have that would be likely to
tend to their personal convenience and the

This Afternoon,

His Funeral Mt Sacred Heart Church
This Afternoon.
Timothy Mannion. an old and we'll
known citizen, died yesterday at noon at
the home of his son-in-law, w. T. Hus-
sey, at No. S21 East First street.
The deceased was a native of Ireland.
He came to Savannah in the early six
ties, and was for a number of years in the
employ of the Central Railroad, and aft
erwards, for half a score of years, with
the Plant System. The increasing infirm-
tiles of age caused him to cease work
some time since. The immediate cause
of his death was paralysis, with which
he was attacked three or four months
ago.
The deceased was a brother of the late
Joseph Mannion, the well-known restau-
rateur. He bore reputation for upright
ness and integrity, and had many warm
friends. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. w.
T. Hussey. The funeral Will take place
from Sacred Heart Church this afternoon
at o'clock.
