Washington, Aug. 19.-Asslstant Secretary Bussey

brought before him Oh motion for reconsideration.
In his decision tho Assistant secretary rescnds Rule
1885, made by Commissioner Black, september 4, 1882
and overrues the opinion of exAsslstant Secretary
Hawkins in the same case, that dshon0rable dis
charge from the service operates as bar to
penslon.n He also holds that Rule 1875 was an
erroneous Interpretation VI the statutes granting
pensions to the soldiers Of the late war for disabilities
incurred IN the line OF duty; and declares thaJ the
character of soldiers discharge cannot affect his
claim for pension on account Of such disabilities.
He holds that "dshonorablc discharge IS
penaltv for specific offence against the service Tor
which tho soldier may be punished; but that the
penalty cannot include nor relate 10 claim for
pcnson based upon disability. The two things are
held to be wholly distinct from each other, ana
