Table showing the pay allowed to the several grades or officers of the Marine Corps. NOTE. On the 3d March, 1835, Congress passed "an act to regulate the pay of the Navy," by which the emoluments, rations, and allowances of all kinds were consolidated into one gross aggregate or annual salary. But as the pension laws previous to 1835 had uniformly fixed the rates of pensions by the rates of pay, in either branch of the service, it became necessary to guard against the possible construction of this law so as to authorize the making the new rates of pay a new basis for the rates of navy pensions, which would have given new pensioners an average in nearly to twenty times the amount from the day of its passage that they would have been entitled to the day before. We have added the tables of pay fixed by that act, to make the contrast more striking. SUPPLEMENT. I. ACTS AND PARTS OF ACTS, CONTINUED SINCE THE PUBLICATION OF THE FIRST EDITION OF THIS WORK. II.
