The Hodge defalcation has prompted Wig
orous measures of reform in the pay depart
ment of the army. Paymaster General Brice,
it is said, is to be placed on the retired list,
and Paymaster Eaton appointed in his
place. The former has already been on
duty year in advance of the period at
which the law provides for the retirement
IF officers. 1t is probable that he will de-
mand court of inquiry, as he places the
Jhe blame of the defalcation on the Treasu-
~ Department. The latter confesses its
blame in the matter by preparing a new
system of checks and balances on disburs-
ng officers. A court-m artial, with General
Meade at its head, has been ordered to try
the clerks in the departments
who desire it, are to be allowed ten days
cave of absence in which to go home and
vote at the October elections.
