Aolrsroy, MASS, April 27.-W. l..
Payson, builder and contractor lately OF
the firm Of payson & Lindley, who has
been missing since last saturday, proves,
it is alleged, to be a forger to the amount
OF 100000. Besides this amount his
liabilities are large. Most of the forged
paper is held by National banks, the
Holliston National Bank and the Savings
Bank being exempt. The first of the
alleged torgeries dates with 1876 and they
have been continued until the present
crash. 1t is feared that his former partner,
R. N. Ludley,of 3unbury, will be deeply
involved.

THE CABINET.
Two Probable Appointments at
Hand.

WASHINGTON, October 23.-President
Arthur stated to-day that he is still in
hopes that Ex-Governor Morgan will
waive his objections to accepting the
Treasuryship, and if this can be brought
about his nomination will be sent to
the Senate tomorrow or Tuesday, with
ex-senator Howe for Attorney General.
Beyond these two nominations for the
Cabinet the Presidents not inclined to
go, notwithstanding the strong pressure
which is being made towards at least
two others. He prefers to make no
other changes in the Cabinet until the
next regular session, when the
balance of the present members
will retire, with perhaps the exception
rumorS that the new Cabinet, when
made, will be composed solely of the
Grant nt-COnkling wing of the party.
That he should be anxious to confer
some high honor on ex-senator COnkling
is as natural as it was for President
Garfield to take into his confidence Sena-
tor Blaine, but appreciating his peculiar
surroundings and the situation which
COnkling occupies, he is too shrewd
man to pursue the course which his
enemies allege he is inclined to. PTesi-
dent Arthur's mission is for peace, and
he proposes to procure it without detri-
ment to either of the wings of the
party.
Both the Republican and Democratic
Senators are getting very restive at their
detention here simply to confirm one or
two Cabinet appointments. If the
President sends the expected nomina-
tiOns tomorrow, they express their de-
termination to adjourn sine die Tues
day. They have been expecting that he
would also send in the nominations of
an Associate Justice in place of Clifford,
deceased, but for some cause or other it
is.withheld. The Chief Justice and AS
sOciate Justices are very anxious that
the place be filled at once in order that
the accumulated business of the court
may be brought up.

BOSS RULE.
Federal Employees Taxed For the
Campaign.

PHILADELPHIA, October 25.-Still fur
ther evidence, says the Times, of the
merciless drain on the salaries of Gov
ernment employees to support the rule
of the bosses comes in letter from one
of the sufferers to Philip G. Garrett,
Chairman of the Committee of One
Hundred. The letter bears date of Sat
urday, and the writer opens by express
ing his surprise that the services of a
detective were found necessary to find
out that the officials of all classes are
assessed at the rate of one per cent. on
their salaries. Every individual in the
Post Office, Custom House, or any
other department of this city is
compelled" the letter goes on,
"by Mr.. Cooper to pay for the
coming State election. 1t is not done
in secret, as might be supposed. So
open is the matter that Mr.. Cooper has
had a printed circular issued, with his
emptOry demand, and woe unto him that
refuses"
The attention of the heads of several
Federal departments and other United
States officials on Saturday was drawn
to the charges heretofore published.
They replied with remarkable unani-
nifty. Complete ignorance of anything
that could be construed as cOmpulsiOn
was universally prOfessed, though all
the gentlemen admitted that they CON
tributed" themselves; that they knew
or believed circulars soliciting "contri-
buttons" were scattered among the en-
ployes, and that they thought it right
that members of a party, and especially
those who prOfited by its tenure of
power, contribute to its success.

MORGAN DECLINES
The Secretaryship of The U. s.
Treasury.

- %
Treasury.
NEW YORK, October 95'-Ex-GovernOr
Morgan declined the Treasury portfolio
peremptOrily to-day. He sent tele-
graphic dispatch to President Arthur,
after long conversation on the subject
with the Presidents Private Secretary,
who, with Thurlow Weed, endeavored to
prevail upon him to accept the Secre-
taryship. The meeting took place at
Governor MOrgan's house. Afterward
Governor Morgan went down to his place
of business and remained there all the
afternoon. He had many callers, but
declined to talk on the subject of his ap-
pointment, saying he had written the
President in the morning, and all 1nfOr-
nation must come from Washington.
The impression got abroad early
however, that he had declined the prOf-
cred office, and though the entire cOnfir-
nation did not come until late in the
evening, it caused much comment in
business circles. The reasons given by
the Governor for his action were the
delicate state of his health and his ad-
Yanced years. ThurlOw Weed, who had
strongly urged the appointment of Gov
ernor Morgan, and who had as strongly
urged Morgan to accept IT, said tonight
to a reporter the declinatiOn was a very
great disappointment to his and the
Presidents friends, and would greatly
embarrass President Arthur's admins
tration.
President Arthur received telegraphic
information that Ex-Governor Morgan
declines the Secretaryship of the Treas
ury, and letter embOdying his decision
is on the way.
1t is reported tonight that the Treas
ury portfolio has been offered Judge
FOlger, of Few York; also that the Presi-
dent said to-day he would probably send
in the name of another prominent
financier tomorrow, and that he did
not expect to hold the Senate longer
than Thursday.

EX-GOV. MORGAN
Confirmed as Secretary of the
Treasury.

treasury.
WASHINGTON, October 24.-President
Arthur sent to the Senate the nOmina-
tion of Edwin d. Morgan, of New York,
to be Secretary of the Treasury, and the
nomination was confirmed. This was
the only Cabinet nomination sent in to-
day.
There are still those who maintain
that COnkling will yet go into the Cabi-
net 1t is said that Morgan was induced
to accept the Secretaryship of the
Treasury on condition that he should be
required to remain in the Office only
until next winter, That he at first posi-
lively declined, but finally consented to
accept and fill the office for short time
The report goes that by next winter
public opinion will have so settled down
that COnkling can go into the Cabinet
without exciting that opposition which
would arise now. leading Democrat
said the Democratic Senators did not
offer any opposition to Morgan because
they believed he was only going to hold
the Secretaryship open for COnkling.
There is no doubt that Morgan did de-
cline at first and was afterwards inhu-
enced to accept.
In explanation of the delay in the
nomination for Attorney General it is
said that the President is yet undecided
whether to appoint Howe or Boutwell,.
He had determined upon Howe, but in
the last two days very strong pressure
has been brought to bear in favor of
Boutwell,, and a Massachusetts Republi,
can said to-day he expected BOutwelPs
nomination.
Among other nominations sent to the
Senate to-day were those of Henry
Highland Garnett, of New York, as Min
lister resident and Consul General of the
United States to Liberia, and John NJ.
Bailey of New York, as Consul of the
United States at Hamburg.
