The New Commissioner of Pat.
entS.

General Mortimer D. Leggett, Of
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, the new commissioner
of Patents, is New Yorker by birth
and forty nine years old, but has resid-
ed in Ohio since his sixteenth year.
While residing onthe Western Reserve
| he studied law with Judge Peter Hitch
cock, and was admitted to the bar at
the age of %. Becoming interested in
the cause of eductiOn, General Leggett
spent several years, after his admission
to the bar, in efforts to secure a system
of free schools in Ohio, and was one of
the principal originators of the present
school system of this State, travelling
through the State and addressing pub
lie meetings in its behalf. He began to
practice his profession at Warren, Ohio,
assOciating eX-Secretary Cox with him,
as partner, butin 1857 removed to Zanes-
vile to superintend the school. In 1861
he went into the service as Colonel of
the seventy-eight Regiment Ohio Vol
unteers, and was first under fire at Fort
Donelson. After the surrender, the adj
mirable discipline in which he had his
new regiment attracted the attention of
the commanding general, and he was
at once appointed by General Grant
provost marshal of the post. By his
fine executive ability he soon brought
"order out of chaos" and won for him.
self the commentator and personal
friendship of his chief. He was with
Grant at Shiloh, COrinth, Jackson and
Yickshurgh, and was under Sherman
in the Atlanta campaign and his march
to the sea. He was promoted to be
full major general, always had the con-
HAarna nf hsS NG1
a brave and efficient soldier, and left
the army at the close of the war, if not
the most brilliant, yet with as clear q
record as any officer Of his rank. Pres
ident Grant Is credited with saying:
sI4eggett Is too modest to be brilliant;
but he Is always at his post, and makes
no mistakes" 1t is also related of him
that he never swearS and never drinks,
and allowed neither of these vices to be
openly practioed about any camp he
commanded, At the close of the war
he became the superintendent and bus
iness manager of the engine works of
III. & F. Blandy, at GAINESVILLE and
Newark, Ohio, and has managed their
immnese business to their entire salts
faction. He was Douglass Democrat
but since the breaking out of the war
has given the Republican Party hisfal-
lest support, and while he is not par
tisan, yet it is believed that he is in full
sympathy with the present administra-
ton. His private life Is without a
blemish and his moral character above
suspicion. He will make an honest,
faithful and competent officer, and will
render the country good service in the
office to which, without his seeking, he
has been appointed, and which with
much reluctance he has accepted.

founded statement with which he con-
cludes it." Laughter. He kept his
promise by printing the article, and he

Laughter. 1t is no insult to the edi-

not his function; lean on him for what
