Mr. SCHENCK. No, sir. If the rifle man Were a little patient, which no gent email here seems to be, Iwas going to advance to that point. This is a specific estimate; a specific account of what is necessary to support one of these organizations. But then an arm implies bureaus, and officers detailed for duty there, commutation of quarters, artillery, horses for cavalry, and numberless other expenses in the arious Depts, quartermasters, commissarys, km, which must also all be estimated for in providing for keeping up a military establishment. Now, we happen to know what will be the aggregate annual cost of just such an arm as is ere proposed. Itwill bein round nnmers $83,000,000, (I can give the exact figures, if any gentleman desires them) without an of the reductions from the bureaus and elsewhere provided for in this bill. There are 72 regiments provided for, including artillery, cavalry, and infantry; and the expense of the whole 72 regiments, with all the artillery and all the cavalry, and all the extensive bureaus, and all the munitions of war, including powder, lead, and all else that may be required to put an army in fighting order or to kee itin time of peace in a condition ready for fighting, is but $33,000,000. How, then, is it possible that each rement, and particularl each one of the in antry regiments (not hal so expensive as cavalry regiments) cost halfa million dollars perannum? The amendment was not agreed to. The next section was read, as follows: Site. 9 and be 1: Abife: That each regiment in the serviceof the U.S. may have a band. as now provided by low, and there shall be one or nance sergeantand one espital steward for eachmilitary postxand thesameniimberof postchap lains as now provided by law: and the POTUS is herebyauthorized to appoint for eachnational cemetery now established, or that may be established.it su crintendent.with the rank, pay, and emoluments O an ordnance sergeant. to be selected from amongthosewhowere officers of volunteers in the army onf othne conimimioned U.S. in the late war, and who have served faithfully and been disabled while in the line of their duty.
