The Surgeon Gcneralship of thu Navy.
1 The Senate, after consideration Of over a month.
have confirmed the appointment Of Medical Direc-
tor James q. Palmer to be Chief Of the Bureau OF
Medicine and Surgery with tho rank Of surgeon
General, thus summarily dispostng Of the osaim Of
Medical Director Vivian fnkney for seniority
which virtually awarded him by the Naval
Committee Of TIC Senate In their retert q
May 4, 1874 IN this report the committed
admit that Medical Director Palmer was
placed aboye Pinkney in opposition to Law
and precedent and though 1t was claimed
that pinkneys rights were affected by the lapse Of
time in which the change took place. yet the com.
mittee add "that the evidence before them tends
to show that Dr. Pinkney has At ali times and all
occasions complained Of injustice done him BY tho
promotion Of DR.. Palmer over him In 1915" This
matter has created considerable discussion In naval
circles and with few exceptions, the naval 0fcers
OF his corps and Of the line consider that great In
justice has been done DR.. Pinkney, and
that this is is another proof OF the
favoritism now existing in the navy. Until
within O few years all favOritIsm was kept
out OF the navy and there was that high tone In
the service that would prevent Officcr5 from en-
deavorng to get places by res0rting to political In
nuence, and 1t is generally regretted among naval
officers that such state OF things should exist In
this favorite arm OF the service.
