The Medical Boards.

The late -wceping action or the military
medical Boards in sending invalids noiori.
ously unfit for any kind Of military servicc,
into tso field, is n subject which calls loud
ly for Congressional legislation. 1t is said
that the instructions. to the Boards nre 40
very stringent that if an Invalid is able to
leave bis room, no matter " hat his diseas.
may be, i, is difficult fer him to ge, an ex-
emp'ion on the ground Of phys di,abi
ty;and some Vt the members Of these Boad.,
when confronted with an outraged public
sentiment, have been honest enough to nd
NIT that they were compelled to act coutra.
ry 10 their judgment, and to consign men
10 duties which, in all probability, would
p Teselt in death. This. in plain language
means that certain officers Of The Govern
ment are every dry committing murder, fur
which they are responsible to God ard
man.
But aside from the inhum anity Of the
course that is being pursued, it works
positive injury 10 the Government. Main.
ed and diseased men can be of no service
In the army, but they are M expensive as
well soldiers. They fl the hospitals and
are fed md clothed at the public expense
10 The course Of a few months (if Ibsy do
sot die) they are discharged aud sent home
where they are suf. red; however, to have
but abriefrest; for at the first meeting Of
the local medical Board, they are accepted
and sent into camp, TO be turned into the
hospitals and again discharged at the end
OF a few months, If death in the mean time,
dses not relieve the victim Of lis persecu.
Tors. And thus this miserable system is
carried on, to'the infection OF an incalc ulabIe
- amount OF private ard public mischief
The Government may very well dispense
with tho services OF Surgeons under the
present regulations. The examinations are
mere farce, and an order 10 the Enrolling
ofhcers 10 send all Hen into camp who are
able 10 travel would obviate the necessity
OF sending Surgeons into the different Dis
tHcts, and the latter might be assigned to
other duties. a score Of able bodied Sur
geons would be worth more in the ranks
Than full company Of cripp'es and con.
snmp,ivss.
