To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Charles +. Hogate, Collector of this district,
died few days since after lingering sickness
which incapacitated him for some months from
attending to the duties of his office. During his
sickness the entire work of the office was done by
James NJ King an efficient deputy, who has been
in the Office for some years. Under the rules he
should have been appointed to the vacancy. A
paper was circulated in his behalf and would have
been signed by responsible men enough to settle
beyond question his capacity and integrity.
Natural decacy prevented both him and his friends
from pressing a paper In his behalf until the late
Collector was buried, but as a matter of caution he
telegraphed to Gen. John COburn Member of Con-
gress for this district that he would be applicant
for the nomination. Gen. Cobum replied ut
that .e had had Frederick Boggs appointed. This
was done before the dead Collector was buried Mr..
Boggs is cashier of the Merchants National Bank.
and gentleman of wealth. He has had no expert

capable. He served with credit throughout the
