TIE New pos,master general.

The dispatches from Washington /
this morning state that the Hon.
Eugene Hale, of Maine, had for
mally announced to the President
an acceptance of the Office of Post
master General, rendered to the
former by the latter on the oath
ultimo. On the adjournment of
Congress it was not even known to
Mr.. Hale that there was to be va
cancy soon in the Postmaster Gen.
cralship, or that the position would
DO offered to him if there should be
change. He was on his way to
the West, and had reached Altoona,
Pennsylvania, when a telegram ten
dering to him the appointment
reached him. He had just been
renominated By the Republicans of
the Fifth District of Maine for a
fourth term, and it is said because
of this generous confidence in him
by his constituents, and he took the
fproffer of a Cabinet appointment
under advisement until he could
consult with his colleagues in
; Washington.
Mr.. Hale will be the youngest
member of President Grants Cab
met, his age being 3S years. He is
small in stature, modest in bearing,
and looks ten years younger than
he is. His enviable official eleva-
ton is fairly merited. Twenty years
ago he was farmers boy in Oxford
county, Maine, industrious, stu
dious, ambitious. He read law in
Ellsworth with an able and highly
esteemed practitioner, with whom
he formed al advantageous part
nership. The senior member of the
firm soon after died, and Mr.. Hale
succeeded to the full control of the
business. He was chosen Prose.
cutor for Hancock county, and serv.
cd nine consecutive years. He
served as member of the Legisla-
ture from 1867 to 1868. In the
latter year he was elected to the
Forty first Congress, was twice re-
elected, and, as we have stated
above, had been nominated for
membership OF the Forty fourth
Congress. During his first Con-
gressional term he was an active
and valuable member of the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs, and in the
second and thus far in his third
term he has been a prominent and
most useful member Of the Com
mittee on Appropriations. He has
a clear, logical, well balanced mind,
and has impressed his associates
during his Congressional labors as
a high toned gentleman, devoted
Republican, and an earnest, honest,
capable legislator. We think his
predecessor, Mr.. Creswell, one of
the most able and deserving of all
of President Grant Cabinet coun-
selors, and we regretted his resig.
nation, but we are sure Mr.. Hale
will in no respect prove an un-
worthy successor. May the ut
most success attend his administra.
ton.

alship, being induced to reconsider
his first decision, partly on account
of i'll health. Mr.. Cattell of New
Jersey, also declines the appoint
ment as one of the Commissioners
of the District of Dolumbia.

It's days were few, but very full of
trouble. But happily the District of
Columbia is rid of its territorial gov
ernment. at cost Of twenty millions
of debt. lishonored credit, a mountain
of unpaid bills, a prospect of endless
litigation, a vast expanse of newly and
poorly paved streets that will soon en-
tail annual expense to keep them in
repair, millions sQuandered, and thou
sands plundered, the certain prospect
of long continued heavy taxation.
Too much for Territorial" whistle

The Distribution of the Geneva
Award was settled by remitting to the
next session of Congress all the points
about which there are any dispute. and
providing only for the payment of the
direct and unquestioned claims. The
bill, as finally passed, di>poses of some
$4,000, 600 of the fund, and leaves $12,-
100000 in the Treasury to be contest
ed for in the future. This is not very
creditable to CONGRESS.

Upon going to that place Swain had
the good luck to stop at the Chapman
House, where he learnt that Boswell
had been before him, but had taken a
boat, intending to go to Traverse City.
The small steamer running to that
place was then at the dock, with steam
up ready to start. The pursuer once
more resumed his travels, aud upon
arriving at the Petty House in the
latter place he found Boswell, after a
search of hundreds of miles, seated at
the supper-table. This was on Mon

made no objection, as he said he wan
