= JUDGE p1EaaEposr's FINANCIAL THEORY. :.
A letter received here from .well-informed
gentleman; who is now in New York City, says
there ia reason to believe that Judge Pierrepont
will decline the: Russian mission He seeks q
higher place; that which is now held BY Judge
Kchnrtlson: OF this the: Preadsnt has long
been advised, but for various reasons de-:
clined to give: Pierrepont the coveted
honor. So much waa Pierrepont's heart:in tie
Treasury. and 80 confidently did he expect to
suoceed Boutwell,, that he. visited the various
bankers and leaaing capitalists Of ,Europe,not
long since, and from them gathered the infor1na-
ton that United States. thirty or fifty-year
sold: in Europe-' The capitalists preferred
long time bond, at low rate Of; interest,:
to q short time bond, at or per cent.
It will be readily inferred from this state-
ment that Judge Pie1epont has a .6nan-'.
cial theory directly at variance from that
OF the Administration. He would cease paying
oil the public debt, as Is now done, and post-
pone it's payment for thirty to fifty years ); but
what, his plan is for providing q sinking-fund
or other measure for ultimate liquidation Of the
debt: does not appear. The prediction ia that he
will decline the mission: to Russia :: or; il be
accepts it, Will be accompanied with an UNDER
standing that his resignation may be expected
tho distinction. the p1estigeia which he delights
above Ill things, save tho dollars, which :may.
make the way smooth to his larger ambition -
