THE NET YORK POST on BOUTWELL,.
New York, Nov. 18.-The Post, to-day, in an
editorial on A1r. Boutwell, and his successor in
the Treasury, aays;
Should Mr. Boutwell, be translated to the Senate as
tha successor Of Mr.. Wilson, he need only desire the
same measure Of usefulness and success that has
warded his career Cabinet Minister. His faithful
collection of the revenues and his rigorous appTopra
ton Of them to the reduction Of ts National debt,
contributed than all other influences combined TO
the reelection OF President Grant,
After an allusion to the Republicanizing in
duenco in the Old World Of Boutweus monthly
statements, announcing the steady and rapid Ee-
duction Of the National debt, the Post adds:
The credit Of reading this lesson In financial ad-
u1inlsrat.ou to the world III to be divided between
the-peope who furnished money, the Minister who
applied 1t, and the President who has Sustained him IN
it, and any statesman may Justly envy the share which
| belongs to Mr.. Boutwell,.
BoUTTELLs PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
The Post gays an impression prevails that Ed
win D. Morgan will be- called to the Treasury: q
| position offered him by President Lincoln, but
which he declined, preferring to remain in the
Senate, and adds:
There are few, If any, Of public men who have
had such large and varied political experience, and
who would bring to the administration OF our
National finances more OF the qualities which would
inspire confidence securities ct home and abroad
or who would support the President with more pru-
dent counsel.
