Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. William M. Stewart, of Nevada: In the Senate of the United States, Wednesday, June, 6, 1900 On the 23d of September, 1850, the following provision was inserted in the Army appropriation bill: For extra pay to the commissioned officers and enlisted men of the Army of the United States, serving in Oregon or California, $325, 854, on the following basis, to wit: That there shall be allowed to each commissioned officer as aforesaid, whilst serving as aforesaid, a per diem, in addition to their regular pay and allowances, of S-each: and to each enlisted man as aforesaid, whilst serving as aforesaid, a per diem, in addition to their present pay and allowances, equal to the pay proper of each as established by existing laws, said extra pay of the enlisted men to be retained until honorably discharged. This additional pay to continue until the 1 st of March, 1852, or until otherwise provided. (U.S. Stat., volume 9, page 504.) Under these acts it was the established policy of the Government to make extra allowance to the officers and men amounting to fully double the amount paid in the Atlantic States. By some strange freak of fortune, probably accidental, a provision crept into the act of August 3, 1861, reorganizing the Arm, which changed the whole policy of the Government with regard to officers and soldiers serving on the Pacific coast. The ninth section of that act reads as follows: Sec. 9. And be it further enacted. That the three months' extra pay allowed by the twenty-ninth section of the act of the 5th of July, 1838, for reenlistments under certain conditions, the bounty granted by the third section of the act of the 17th of June. 1850, for enlistments at remote and distant stations and the premium now paid for bringing accepted recruits to the rendezvous, be, and they are hereby, abolished. (12 Stats., 388.) This legislation repealed all laws allowing extra pay on the Pacific and placed the Government in an unfortunate position. As the civil war progressed, the forces of the Confederate States invaded New Mexico and Arizona, and through their agency the Indians were inspired to cut off overland mail communication. In the meantime greenbacks had fallen from 40 to 50 percent on the dollar. A soldier on the Pacific coast receiving his pay in greenbacks was compelled to convert it into coin, which reduced the amount to less than$8 per month. Plenty of men were ready to enlist in the cause of their country, but they could not with 8 a month supply themselves with those necessaries which a soldier serving in that country must have, and of course nothing was left for their families. The States of California and Oregon, and the Territory of Nevada were not behind any other section of the country in paying bounties to soldiers and in contributing to the sanitary fund. The Territory of Nevada contributed to that fund more in proportion to population than any State in the Union. None of the Pacific States have ever dreamed of demanding a dollar to be refunded from the General Government for bounties paid or for any other patriotic contributions. Still it is contended that if California, Oregon, and Nevada are paid for the advances which they made to put soldiers in the field, the other States must be paid for donations and bounties.

Excerpt: ... chapter xxv General Grant elected President--Re-elected to the Senate in 1869--Conference with Grant--I write the Fifteenth Amendment--Its passage by Congress--Grant's Inaugural recommendation on negro suffrage. In 1868 General Grant was elected President of the United States. His popularity as a soldier and fairminded man secured for him an overwhelming majority, including three-fourths of all the States. The Chicago Convention which nominated him declared for equal suffrage in the South, without regard to race or color, indorsed the legislation of Congress, and severely condemned the administration of Andrew "Johnson. President Grant's Administration, by the platform on which he was elected, the public press, and the orators of the campaign, was committed to the protection of the emancipated slaves, either by granting to them suffrage, or the exercise by Congress of all measures, however coercive, to secure equality before the law. The Nevada Legislature which elected me my own successor in 1869 was chosen at the time of the election of President Grant, and I returned to Washington the week before Congress met, about November 25, 1868, after President Grant's election. Many bills were pending providing for colored suffrage and protection for emancipated slaves by various devices; such as amendments to the Constitution securing equal suffrage, amendments to the Freedmen's Bureau bill and the Civil Rights bill. I read over all the various propositions for suffrage and for direct legislation protecting the negroes, and recognized the fact that the general tone of all the propositions for the protection of the negro was in harmony with the sentiment of the campaign resulting in General Grant's overwhelming victory. I called on General...
