AN OLD WRONG PARTLY RIGHTED.
WASHINGTON, March IA bill
which has been before several con-
crosses and which, by reason Of
that circumstance, has become a
naval cause celebre, has been or
dered favorably reported by the
house judiciary committee.
The purpose of the bill is to
place John Quackenbush on the
retired list Of the navy with the
rank and pay Of commander. In
1874 Commander Quackenbsh was
court martialed and dismissed
from the service. President Grant
committed the sentence to suspen-
sion for six years and forfeiture of
pay. Upon expiration Of the SEN
tence, in 1880, Quickenbush was
put upon waiting orders and drew
his pay for nearly year,
when his salary ceased and in
1888, he was dropped from the
rolls. 1t Is claimed that his dis.
missal was due to a misunder-
standing. When the nomination
of Lieutenant Commander Schley,
to be commander in the navy, was
sent to the senate, it contained the
words, "Vice Quackenbush, dis
missed" which was inserted mad
vertently, but which furnished the
ground for his subsequent dis.
missal from the navy.
The bill to place him on the re-
tired list received favorable re-
ports from six previous congresses.
AS agreed to by the judiciary COM
mittee it provides that he shall
receive no pay or emoluments I'M
til his reappointment.
