TO THE EDITOR or THE HERALD:-
Your edition Of Monday, which has just reached

gentleman just reappointed head OF the Department
OF Buildings, does an injustice which am sure you
will be glad to rectify In the concluding portion Of
that sketch your artise states that the head OF that
bureau Mr.. james NJ. McGregor, is practical
bull der, which do not doubt; but proceeds further
to state that his most prominent public record was
colonel OF volunteer regiment lone OF the Scott
Life Guard regiments,, and his subsequent rank as
q brgadier general, commanding brigade under
General Sumner, in the Second egmy corps, during
the late rebellion.
Now, in justice to Mr.. Jas. NJ Ms1regor, who has
long and creditably been superintendent OF Build.
ings, and who IS now reappolnted, take occasion
to say that the military proceedings above referred
to are chargeab.e to me- and not to him. i am as
ignorant OF building as he Is innocent OF war; and
whatever odium may justly attach to the Colonel
OF the First Scott Life Guard, commanding a
brigade in the Second army corps, IS fairly charge.
