introduced into the Electoral Ar7ny. 707 



The non-commissioned officer receives during his 

 furlough, besides his clothing, two-thirds of his pay. 

 And the commissioned officer receives during his fur- 

 lough the full amount of pay which he formerly received 

 under the old system. 



The non-commissioned officers have been encour- 

 aged, not only by increase of pay, and by their remark- 

 ably handsome uniforms, but especially by the many 

 positions of ensign, battalion adjutant, regimental ad- 

 jutant, regimental quartermaster, and even of second 

 lieutenant, to which, since the introduction of the new 

 system, deserving subordinate officers have been ap- 

 pointed. 



All furnishing of supplies, commercial transactions, 

 and pecuniary accounts, between the commissioned and 

 non-commissioned officers and the privates, are now 

 entirely abolished, by which means the former are 

 relieved of a very great burden ; and the source of 

 many abuses on one side, and much mistrust, ill feeling, 

 and discontent on the other has been removed. 



Not only has the pay of the officers been increased, 

 but also their expenses have been diminished, since the 

 uniform recently introduced is cheaper than the former 

 one. 



The increase of pay which the officers have received 

 by the new system may be seen from the following 

 table : —
