On the 18th 1t was announced that General J. R. Hood had superseded Gem eral Joseph E. Johnston. The news thun- derstruck the army.

Further, It was be- Ieved to be the result of intrigue at Richmond. and of the clamor of non- conibatants at home. But for the patriot ism of the army there would have been a vehement protest. As it was, there was sullon submission. The army entertained the highest opinion Of General Hood as a major-general.

Empire was inevitable any day that the
Emperor died, and the question Of where
the pieces would go involved the peace Of
Europe. Russia would try to secure the
Slav fragments, and Germany to incor-
pOrate the Germans, which could not help
producing bloody war.
Of course, every effort has been made to
provide 4 successor to avert in some way,
or at least postpone. this struggle. The
recent news gives some hopes of this. The
Emperor has no male descendants, and
consequently the succession will go to
those of his brothers. The nearest to the
throne contracted morganatic maria &c
by which he renowned forever for him
self and heirs all rights Of succession The
15-year-old son of another brother has now
been brought forward as the successor, and
an agreement is being made which, it is
hoped. will secure this and tile peace of
Europe. though there is considerable dis
satisfaction expressed at the selection.
His family and lie are supposed to be too
Anti-German to please the German ele-
ment, and too clerical to suit the Anti
Romanist Magyars. The situation is ex-
ceedingly delicate. and tile death of the old

In HIS report to the Secretary of the In
terror, the Commissioner of Pension:
makes the following recommendation, Of
which his superior approves: Il recon-
mend the passage of a law that any mar
who is convicted in court of an infamous
crime should forfeit his pension or his
right to one."
To veterans it seems strange that there
was a necessity for such recommenda.
ton. The granting of pensions is so wholly
within the discretion of the Commissioner
of Pensions, and pensions have been SO
continually refused for a thousand reasons
less grave than this, that it comes as sur
prise that the Commissioners should seek
legal sanction for such extreme cases. The
Act of June %, 1890, expressly refused
pensions to claimants who had been guilty
of vicious misconduct, and it has been
naturally supposed that felony must be
a bar to pension of any kind. The vet
Grams readily agree that the law should be
passed.
