TREASURY CHANGES.


RICHARD C. MCCORMICK MADE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
Mr.. CoNANT TO GO TO LONDON FOR THE
TREASURY.
-iBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUSEI
WASHINGTON March 29.-Richard c. Mccormick
has been appointed Assistant Secretary OF the Treas
airy and has accepted the position. He will enter
upon his duties about the 10th of next month.
Assistant Secretary COnant will sail for London
about the 10Th of April to become Chief of the Syn
dicate Bureau, in place of Mr.. BigelOw, who Will
take subordinate position. Mr.. Mccormick was
offered foreign mission by the President imme-
diately after his Inauguration, but private
considerations prevented him from accept
ing. About ten days ago the President,
at the suggestion of Secretary Sherman,
offered to make him Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, and the appointment has been approved
by the Cabinet. Secretary Sherman says that this
change is not made on account of any dissatlsfac-
ton with the administration of Mr.. Conant. He
has proved himself most excellent officer, and
the Secretary is fully convinced that the late
cusations against him were wholly without founda-
ton and unjust and cruel in the extreme. In order
that no dishOnor may attach to Assistant Secretary
Conant in connection with his retirement from the
present position, and in order that the President
and Secretary may show their confidence in him, he
has been given the place indicated.
Secretary Sherman in explaining this change says
that, while fully approaching the value of MIR.
Commits services he thinks it nothing more than
proper that in carrying out the financial policy
which he contempates he shall have the assistance
of chief subordinate who will be identified with
that policy well as himself and be thoroughly in
accord with it. 1t is the Secretarys purpose to give
his attention at early day to the subject of bring
ing the country speedily back to specie payment,
and to a refunding of the national debt at lower
rates of interest; and he desires to organize the
department that he may devote himself chiefly to
these two important subjects.
This is the first instance in which any person con-
nccted with the National Republican Committee has
received an appointment from the Administration.
