Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial of Capt. Louis C. Sartori, United States Navy Had a few heroic men been selected for extraordinary achievements and advanced, your petitioner would not have complained; but when a whole batch of younger officers, some of them from seven (7) to nine (9) years his juniors in the service, were thus raised above him, he must feel deeply aggrieved, and as a last resort appeals to your honorable bodies to restore him to his original and proper position on the Navy Register next after Commodore William Reynolds, that he may retire (in June, 1874) in honor and with a heart filled with gratitude to those who are all powerful to lift this injustice from him. Your petitioner does not ask for advancement, but simply for restoration only to the position he was and is entitled to by seniority, by length of service, and by good and faithful conduct. He earnestly solicits that the accompanying bill be passed into a law, as it cannot do injustice to anyone, and nearly all who were placed above him have been promoted to the grade of commodore. His restoration will not interfere with any other officer´s promotion, inasmuch as his early retirement leaves the road free to all advanced who are so much younger in years and in the service. Your petitioner further respectfully represents that in laying before your honorable bodies this bill for his relief he would state that a bill of the same character and import was presented at the last session of the preceding Congress, which promptly passed the House Naval Committee and the House of Representatives, and failed alone in the Senate, your petitioner thinks, by the Conference Committee, which was ordered, being unable to meet on account of the great press of business during the closing hours of the session. All the papers in relation to his case are on file in the Senate, and your petitioner entreats a full and careful consideration of them, as also of the annexed papers and letters from several officers who were placed above him, and who are willing that your petitioner should be restored to his original place on the Navy Register. Your petitioner further respectfully states that at the last session of Congress, an act was passed which bears particularly hard on his case - and in fact it bears upon him alone - although in itself a just law. Your petitioner alludes to the act defining the full age of sixty-two (62) years as the true meaning of the period of retirement. This act prevented his promotion in August last, and will deprive him of further advancement, and he will be obliged to retire in June, 1874, in his present grade of captain, and he is the only one of all those passed over in the promotions of 1866 who will not receive his full promotion as entitled to by his length of service, (45 years.) He, therefore, most earnestly begs your honorable bodies, as the only means to lift this mortification and injustice from him, to restore him to his original position on the Navy Register, and relying with confidence on your high sense of justice to give him back his honorable place and his good name, your petitioner will ever pray, &c.
