IMPORTANT Pension DkcIsIos.-The father
Of o deceased officer applied for pension
under the act Of June 6, 1866. The mother
Of the officer claimed and received pension
under the act OF July IA, 1862, and the Com
missioner Of Pensions rejected the applica-
tion Of the father on the ground that the act
OF June Q, 1866, excludes the father from the
benefits Of the pension laws II dependent

cease, and that under the pension laws the
survivorship Of dependent mother Is bar
to the claim for pension Of any OF the heirs
OF the officer, soldiers or seamen, Of whom
the mother takes precedence. II Is believed
that, the mother having been pensioned by
reason Of the service and death Of her son on
whom she was dependent for support, oil
right to pension terminates with her death
or remarriage, and does not vest In any other
heir Of the soldier.
Under this decision an appeal WIS taken
to the Secretary Of the Interior, who says
"Under the circumstances, am Of the
opinion that the father Is not entitled to q
pension, and your decision is accordingly
confirmed
