A JndlcIous Nomination.

On Monday last the nomination of Mr.. James
NJ. Armstrong, tho present chief clerk of tho
General Land Ollico, as Register OF tho Untcd
State Land Oilice at Cofax, w. r. was sub.
mitted to the Senate by the President. There
Is no doubt that this nomination will be con
flrmed, rs Mr.. Armstrong is eminontly fitted
to perform the important duties of tho office
in question. Both as n public officer and as n
citizon, his record is exceptionally good. Born
in Washington, Pa, ho went to the State
of Iowa at an early age and made his
homo in tho town of Washington. When
the war of tho rebellion broke out he was
one of the first 10 volunteer IN defense of
the Union, and on July %, 1861, he enlisted
rs private soldier in the Thirteenth rogi.
mcnt Iowa volunteers. In this regiment no
served until he was incapactated from per.
forming further duty by severe wounda re-
sulting In the loss Of leg, received before
Atlanta, Ga. lie then returned TO his home,
and OH July 1, 1872 ho camc to this city and
entered tho General Land Olico as a clerk of
tho flrst.class. aud was assigned to duty in the
surveying division. After short time
he was transferred to tho private land
claims division, and was promoted to q
second-class clerkship on October 1, 1873.
On April l, 1876 lie was again pro.
NOTED, and on April 15 of the following
year was appointed principal clerk of'his di-
vision. In September 1873, he was made
position he now holds. During the first years
of his employment he devoted his leisure
hours to the study of law, and was duly
graduated and admitted to practice. Since he
has filled tho position of chief clerk he has
been cal ed upon to servo as Acting Commits
sioner during tho greater portion of the time
owing to tho unavoidable absence Of the able
aud efficient Commissioner, General J, A.
Williamson, as President of the Public
| Lands Commission While so onpnood Mr
Armstrong has mado many decisions In i'm
portant cases, and his general administration
OF tho Office has boen energetic and discreet
to a degree.
While congratulating him upon obtaining q
position which will ultimately prove to be
moro advantageous than tho one no now holds
his fellow-clerks cannot refrain from regret
ting the loss of one whom they regard as
tried and valued friend,
His nomination having been confirmed by
