GEN. S. S. BURDETTE,
The New Commander-in-Chief,

Gen. S. S. Burdette, the new Commander
in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic,
was born in Leicersteshire, England, and was
the son Of an English radical, a great adj
mirer of Gen. Washington, who sent him
to-what he called the Paradise of the
world-America, when he was twelve years
of age, with his two sisters, his father hoping
to be able to soon come himself. Upon ar
rival in this country he was bound out in
Northern Ohio in the old style, receiving for
his work his clothes, board and three
months schooling. He went to Oberlin Col
lege, working his way by teaching, and in 1856
followed Greeley'S advice, and went west y
He went to Iowa, teaching days and studying
law nights, and in the winter of 1S57-5S was
admitted to the Bar. At the breaking out of
the rebellion he offered his services and
spent all his savings in the organization of
the Iowa Cavalry, being commissioned Lieu
tenant in Company b. The company was
mustered-in in Aug. 1861 and with two others
of the regiment was sent to southwestern
Missouri, where it did good service against
the bush whackers, especially the forces of
Quantrell and lost many men. AT the end of
two years, run down in health he was sent to st
Louis to be mustered out, but as he refused
to be discharged he was appointed Assistant
Provost Marshal General for the Department
of Missouri and held the Office until his three
years Of service had expired He served
afterwards as q. S. District Attorney for
Southwestern Missouri; was elected to the
4lst and reelected to the AID congress- and
would have had a third term but the district
had been redistricted and made Democratic.
In April, 1874, President Grant, unsolicited,
appointed him commissioner of the General
Land Office where he remained two years.
His health then gave way, and, in 1873 re-
recovering it, he resumed the practice of his
profession in Washington, especially INLAND
matters, i'll the Court of Claims and before
the Supreme Court.
The General is large, fine looking man,
weighing over 200 pounds, is about 8 feet 10
beard, spirited expression, and quick glanc-
ing eyes.
