tlon as Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
To take effect upon the confirmation of his
successor. lie has had this step under
consideration for several months, but the

oil now. The fact that he has not for
long fine had any voice in the appoint

partmenf, thus defeating his efforts TO col
lect the revenue and prevent and punish
frauds, has been nne the leading reasons
for his course, and he now feels thst il is
out OF his power To give satisfaction to the
country. His health is also impaired by
severe labor, and other matters of do
mesiic character have had more or less
effect on him. lie has been an officer in
the department for the past five years, first
as Cashier under Lewis. next as Deputy
Commissioner under Orton, and finally as
Commissioner By appointment OF Johnson.
