report on the petition of Mary Mccain. The
petition sets forth that Capt. Mccain, while he
was commissioned only as captain, was at
the time OF his death acting in the capacity of
lieutenant colonel, and prays that the widow
may receive pension corresponding to the
position in which he was acting at the time
of his death. The report states that during
the war many officers were killed or wounded
while exercising a higher command then that
