influences at Washington, as Col. Burgh
is well known as a strong friend of Mr..
Hawley.
Col. Burgh has been in the revenue ser
vice for about seven years, sometimes as
deputy collector, sometimes as storekeeper,
but mostly as ganger. He received warm
letter Of regret at parting with him from
Gen. Tillson.

fully acquainted with the duties, he, too,
having been good deal in the revenue
service He was formerly one of our
leading dry goods men; afterwards mayor
