NATIONAL SOLDIERS, HOME.
Report of j. C. BrecI<fnridge, inspect
or General of the Army.

Report of j. G. BreckfnridEe, lnspect-
or General of the Army.
WASHINGTON, March IA report of
the inspection of the several branches of
the National Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers, made by Gen. j. \. Breckenridge,
inspector-general of army, has been sent to
Congress. The duty of inspecting the sew
eral branches of the home related to over
thirteen thousand men; disbursements
amounted to A75S,173. There is probably
nothing, the report says, which more de-
serves consideration than the decorous and
comfortable housing of the soloIers. Men
who have by their conduct in war and by
their present disability earned a perfect title
to all the consideration now shown them,
deserve something better than sleeping on
floors overcrowding in Easements, etc.
How to secure the speeaiest relief for these
and other feeble and worthy men in time
for them to profit by it deserves the most
serious consideration. Everywhere, the re-
port says, there was talk of the unprece-
dented pressure for admission to the home.
In conclusion, General Breckenridge invites
particular attention to the enthusiastic zeal
and general efficiency of the officers con-
Quoting the affairs of the branch homes,
and to the marked economy and efficiency
which they have attained in the matters
most dearly affecting the welfare or COM
fort of the members.
