Tho First Comptroller of the Treasury.


Hon. William Lawrence of Ohio was yosLer-
day commissioned as first comptroller of tho
treasury department, to I'll tho vacancy occa.
stoned by the resignation of Judge Porter. It
is but faint praise perhaps, to say that this is
an appointment omincntly ct to bo made, but
it is the sober truth nevertheless. Judge
Lawrence is no stranger at the national capi.
tai. After deyoting eight years to the judi.
ciary of Ohio as district judge, no entered
congress. whore he served five terms with
marked distinction and credit, having served
as chairman Of tho committee Of war claims,
besides being useful member Of several other
important committees. His report on war
clans was regarded of sufficient value to be
adopted by tho secretary Of state as n manual
of that class OF claims, it having been pub.
lished and circulated among all tho civilized
nations of Europe and Asia. There is no
foundation for the statement that Judge Law.
renee has been coqnottlng between the posi-.
tion OF representative in congress and tho
first comptrollership for ho had declined the
former honor before this vacancy occurred.
