The MYSTERIES OF RED TAPE.-In off.
ceting the volunteer regiments Of this State,
rule was established that all staff and
company officers, upon being appointed and
elected, should appear before Board of
Military Examiners who would pass upon
their qualifications for their respective posi-,
TONS and if found competent would recon.
mend the issuance of commissions. Where
captains and lieutenants have been accepted,
and where they reported their companies as
full it WAS understood that commissions
would issue first. This was the rule in the 4th
Regiment with the first companies. Captain
Rowell's company was the earliest filled-he
received the first commission as Captain; and
at the time five companies of the regiment
were ordered to Oregon, all were full with
the exception Of Captain Crowninshield's
Of the full number. For this reason,
although ordered to distant service, the Cap.
:ain's commission was not issued.
But it seems the rule has been changed,
AS we have noticed within few DAYS, that
commissions have been issued to captains
and lieutenants, now in camp here, whose
companies haxe not more than forty to sixty
men, whose commissions will bear older date
than those Of Captain Crowninshed's com
pany. Officers have also passed the exam
ming Board, whose commissions have not
been given them, while others who have sub
sequenty passed. have been comm ssioned.
And in one instance at least an officer has
been commissioned who has not been before
the Examining Board.
This may appear of little moment to out,
siders =, but when they understand thas Off
GERS having commissions bearing oldest date
are nearest in the line of promotion, they will
see that great injustice may be done to Off
GERS, who have companies nearly full, by is
suing commissions first to officers with mere
skeleton companies.
This is an evil that should be remedied,
that justice may be done officers who have
given their energies, money and time to the
service. Perhaps the Adutant General Of
the State could enghten the public upon
The matter:
