ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO EVENING TBJEGRAPH'I
WARRINGTON, Sept. IL.
Position OF Secretary McCuIlOch.
Secretary McCulloch has no knowledge Of any
desle on the part of the President for him tc
resign, and nothing has occurred between them
to warrant the reports now in circulation that
he will be removed, and he authorizes this
statement to be made by your correspondent
The hungry crew seeking his removal are
ravenous alter the money bags OF the Gov
ernment.
General Howard returned this morning from
his late trip East. The rumors that he would be
removed have subsidized, but it is most likely
that the President cannot find the man he wants
to put in his place.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hartley
has returned and was on duty this morning.
