He was graduated from Harvard uni

an acting assistant paylnaster and serv-

rebellion until 1864, when he resigned

law al Boston. Most of his naval serv-
ice was on the North Atlantic station.
where most of the sea fighting was
done. He was with Lieut.. Commander
Flusser when the latter was killed on
the United States steamship Miami in
the engagement with the ram Abe
marie at Plymouth, \. c.
When Caleb Cushing was senior coun-
sci to the Geneva tribunal in 1872 Mr..
Hackett served as his private secre-
tary until i'll health compelled him to
relinQush that Office and return to the
United States. Although he has al
ways maintained his legal residence
at Newcastle, y. H., where he has a
house, he has spent the greater part OF
the past quarter century in Washing
ton, engaged in the practice OF his pro-
fession before the courts and the de-
partments. In 1877 he represented
Portsmouth in the New Hampshire
legislature. He is a man of high lit
erary and legal ability, and is the
author of several works. Although his
experience in the navy has been some
what limited, he has always shown a
great interest in that arm Of the serv-
ice, and is probably as we'll informed
in regard to it's condition and needs as
any other civilian in the country.
Mr.. Hackett has accepted the ap-
pointment with the understanding that
his term will expire on the 4th of March
next. He has declared that he coul;
not afford to give any more time te
public business, as he has considerable
private work to look after which would
have TO be sacrificed by longer con
tinuance in the government service

unquestioned. He at once struck for
Switzerland, Joined the army of the
Loire and served in it's ranks until the

After the war he pursued his profess

success. One post after another was
filled by him with credit until a tech
nical appointment was given him in
the Office of public works 1t fell to his
duties at the end of the exposition of
1850 to liquidate it's finances. The task
took him two years Of unceasing labor,
but its accomplishment set stamp on
his reputation.
