THE SCI RnrARY OF THE TREASURY.

We have if from good authority, that there
was no truth whatever in the rlinor that was
circulated on the streets, that VIM. T. Croas.
dale, Esq, Senior Editor OF Erery Eoenino, OF
this city, had been requested by the President 70
accept the portfolio of the Treasury upon the
retirement OF Sectretars Richardson. We learn
that the position had been rendered to Gen.
Bristow, before the attention OF the President
had heeu called 10 the learned editorials of our
distinguished fellow citizen on the financial sit
uation, aud vi Course he did not feel at liberty
10 withdraw the offer. 1t is deeply to be regret
ted that Mr.. Croasdale did not write his articles
sooner. The insnuation in certain quarters
that the strong article in the issue of Tuesday
last in condemnation Of the appointment Of
Richardson and Bristow, Was occasoned by his
isapI ointment in the matter, is simply beneath
notice ONE CENT

The Philadelphia steamship line to Liverpool
10 now doing an excellent business. Every
vessel takes out large cargo, and passages are
engaged for long time ahead. The Pennsyl-
vania on her last "Trip had on board $50 now
ing and reapiug machines, by way of variet y;
and the Illinois, last Thursday, had 10 cabin
and nearly 200 steerage passengers. These
steamers are as swift and sale as any that cross
the ocean, and are the only ones that bear the
American flag. Philadelphia has cause to be
proud of her line, aud should support 1t heartily
yet we still see among the passenger lists from
New York the names of many Phadelphians
who certainly owe something to the interests
OF their own city.

Dizziness in business affairs is not by any
means confined to this country. In all the
European countries commerce aud mannfac-
lures are greatly depressed, and tunes are quite
as "hard" as they are here. There appears to
be general reaction after the excessive activity
and prosperity Of the last Ten years, during
which people have become accustomed 10 q
state of things which could not last always
The best way out of tile trouble for us is TO lake
In sail, and Try TO restore the tinarclal health
ofthe country by economy and honesty.

State ticket is believed TO have been close. Ac-

Lafayette Grover, Democrat, is reelected Cover
nor "by small plurality" The Republicans
claim the election of Williams, their candidate
for Congressman. I he Independent candi-

posed to be elected "beyond doubt" Later
dispatches claim the election of Talman, the

cate that the Independents will control the
