The Treasury secretaryship.
WASHINGTON, February 2lst.-It seems to
be universally believed in Washington that
the Treasury Secretaryship in Garfelds Cab
met is for the State of New York by Conk-
ling's recent visit to Mentor, but an impress
sion is gaining ground to-day that Judge
Charles J. FOlger, and not Representative
Levi p. Morton is the man fixed upon for the
place, and that tie latter has accepted 1t.
The reason for passing over Morton, accord,
ing to this latest and apparently well-founded
rumor, is that Garfield doubts whether he
could divest himself, to the satisfaction OF the
Senate and country at large, OF his CONNER
cial and financial interests, which now render
hin ineligible for the office, just as Alexander
7. Stewart was found to be Ineligible when
nominated for it by Grant.
