SIC. OF TREAsuRY.-Thc Boston Journal,
Washington dispatch says that Grant recently
expressed his opinion as to the necessary quail
fcatiOns for his Sec. Of Treasury:
First-He should be man who has not we'd
del himself to any financial theory.
SecOnd-IIe should be man who has been
so successful in managing his own financial
matters that the country will have confidence
in him.
Thirl-IIe should be q man accustomed TO
direct large bodies of men by the employment OF
subOriinates of his own selection.
Fourth-It is not necessary that he should
have been prominent politician, although it is
imperative that he should have voted the Re
publican ticket.
My informant, who is one Of the best posted
men in the capital, after hearing this bill Of
qualifications, began TO pass in review those
spoken of as likely to receive Cabinet appoint
ments, and arrived at the conclusion that Johu
A. Griswold, now representing the Troy district
of New York, is TO be the successor Of Mr.. Nc
CullOch. Mr.. Griswold is an active, energetic
man, now forty-seycn years Of age. He has
been successful as the leading partner in q
large iron and steel foundry, and has been
practically acquainted with banking. The fact
that he was defeated for Governor last fall in
the State of New York. by the same influences
which defeated Gen, Grant in that State, will
not be against his chances Of appointment.
