AN apology from US may be due our
friend Mr.. WOODWARD for having expos
ed him to the wrath Of a correspondent
by copying his letter to the editor of the
Tribune. The letter was probably not
written for publication, and It was cop.
led by US without the writer's previous
knowledge. As the critic chooses not
to write over his name, Mr.. WOODWARD
may not choose to notice him. Should
he do so, we expect he will be abundant.
ly able to defend himself.

THE TREASURY PoRTFoLIs.
The Natl says that advices from Wash
ington report that Secretary Boutwell,
has prepared his resignation to take effect
on February 18th. The names of Henry
Clews and Ex-Governor Morgan are
most prominently mentioned in conueC-
ton as his successor. The Tribune's
washington special states that the Prcsi-
dent visited the Treasury Department
yesterday morning, and was for two
hours IN conference with Assistant Secre.
tary Richardson. The President is re-.
ported TO have tho fullest confidence in
Richardson as a man OF sound Judgment
and great financial tact, and friends have
often conjectured since the election that
Gen. Grant would attest his friendship
and respect by inviting the Assistant
Secretary to take charge of the depart
ment after the 4th of March next In case
Boutwell, should resign to take seat in
the Senate. On the other band it is stated
that Richardson has recently said that he
did not desire the place, but that he should
retire with his chief and engage in the
banking businesSn in Europe. In such an
event, there are many that believe that
the Presidents choice for a Secretary of
the Treasury would fall upon one OF the
prominent bankers Of the country with
whom the President is on intimate per-
sonal terms.

How to Calculate Interests, and
What it Will Do.

The fOllowday rules are so simple and
so true according to oil business usagcs
that every banker, broker, merchant OIL
clerk should post them up for reference
There being no such thing as fraction
in it, there is scarcely any liability tc
error or mistake. BY no other arth
mctical process can the desired intorma-
ton be obtained by few figures:
Six per cent-Multiply any given nun
ber Of dollars by the number OF DAYS O
interest desired, separate the right iand
figure and divide by six, the resul,
Is the true interest on such sum for
such number Of days at six per cent.
Eight per cent-Multiply any giyer
amount by the number OF days upon
which 1t is desired to ascertain the in.
terest, and divide by forty.tive and the
result will be the interest Of such for The
time required at eight per cent.
Ten per cent.-Multiply the same as
above, and divide by thirty.six, and the
result will show the rate Of interest at
ten per cent.
What it will do. II mechanic or
clerk saves only 29 cents per day from
the time he is 81 until he. Is three score
and ten, the aggregate with interest, will
amount to $4,000; and daily saving oil
27t cents reaches the important sum OF
$4,000.
Asixpence saved daily will provide q
Iund Of nearly $70O0-sufflClent to pur-
chase a good farm. There arc few EN-.
ployes who cannot save daily, by ab.
staining from the use OF cigars, tobacco,
liquor, etc, twice or ten times the amount
OF the six cent piece. Every person
should provide for old age, and the man
in business who can lay by dollar q day
will eventually find himself possessor Of
over 100000.

By the Hubbard Postal Telegraph bill
the Government grants o national charter
and creates telegraph monopoly, with
which there can be no successful compe.
tition. The present companies would be
compelled to sell their lines to the Postal
Telegraph Company, upon such terms Us
the latter may prescribe, or lose their
property. At all post Offices in the United
States where the receipts are FIVE hundred
dollars in gross, offices are to be furnished

ness and machinery, free Of cost. Tank
Of that The Western Union Telegraph
Company requires, at nearly all Of its
offices, about as much room as ID
needed for the proposed Postal Tele.
graph. Company at the expense Of
the Government. In addition, the Post.
master General is 10 provide stamps,
blanks, and envelopes, and employ
agents to sell them. He Is to provide
carriers 10 deliver messages at all tele.
graph Offices. For all this-for Offices,
rent, the cost Of preparing and selling
stamps, and for delivering messages, he d
to receive .fve cents for each message, ex-
cepting press dispatches, upon which he
is TO receive three cents. We have heard
Of a good many cool propositions in our
day, but this Is the coolest Of which we
have any recollection.
In return for all this, Hubbard's com.
pany ofspeculators propose to reduce the
cost Of telegraphing. We should suppose
1t could sford to do so. If the Govern
ment will give US the right to print q
newspaper in this city, pay our Office
rent, exempt US from taxation, provide
carriers to deliver our paper, and collect
all bills, paying Us over the money, we
will reduce the price Of the Gazette largely.
