I have been employed as clerk at the Headquarters of the C.S. Marine Corps since January 1862. There being no authority from Congress for the appointment, the Secretary of the Navy authorized the Commandant of the Corps to employ a clerk at the same compensation that a Sergeant Major would receive, which pay I received at the time of my appointment. Some four or five months after, upon an estimate of the expenses of the Corps being made out by the Paymaster, my salary was put down at the rate of $1000 per annum. This estimate was approved by the Secretary and sent in to Congress, by which the necessary appropriation was made. Authority was granted the Paymaster by the Secretary to pay me according to this appropriation, and I continued to receive this pay until the expiration of the appropriation, which was December 31st, 1862. A new estimate being made out for the following six months, my salary was again increased to $1500 per annum. This estimate was also approved by the Secretary and the necessary appropriation made by Congress. Upon application being made to the Secretary for authority to pay me according to this appropriation, he declined giving it, saying he did not feel himself authorized to do so, and the Paymaster would not pay me the increased pay, without such authority. So I continued to be paid according to the first estimate until the first of May; when my appointment was authorized by Congress at a salary of $1500. I respectfully ask whether I am not entitled to the difference of pay between $1000 (the first appropriation) and $1500 (the second) for four months, from the 1st of January to the 1st of May 1863."
