entered upon his duties as acting secretary
OF the treasury. His first act was to issue
call for $25,OOO,OOo of continued fives
Ihis definitely settles the fact that the pol.
ICY of the treasury will be to continue
TO use Its surplus in calling in continued
5s. 1t is probable another call will not be
made to mature this year. The gossip
still Is that MIR. New will retain the posi-
ton. He certainly makes no concealment
to his friends of his expectations. but he
denies that he has any positive assurance.
Mr.. FoLGER.
Among the letters received to-day none
came from Saratoga-not even platform.
Secretary Folger said he did not suppose
the officers of the convention would omit
this year, as they did two years ago, when
ne was nominated for chief Judge of the
court of appeals, to inform him of his
selection to head the ticket. Judge Folger
left for New York tonight, and it is not
known whether or not he intends to re-
turn. 1t is matter of common report
that the president has for some time de-
sired that he should vacate the place at the
head Of the treasury. 1t is also current
and apparently well-substantiated rumor
that President Arthur offered Mr.. Folger
the mission to England to relieve Mr..
Lowell, that he might give the position of
secretary of the treasury to some
one more in sympathy with the plans
he had mapped out. Mr.. Folger, it is said,
refused this offer, and therefore the pres
ident's only chance to accomplish his de-
sired object was to push Folger for the
governorship of New York.
THE INDIANA CAMPAIGN.
Judge Niblock, of Indiana, who is a can
didate for reelection to the supreme
court of that state, very confdentialIy ex-
presses the opinion that the Democrats
will regain control of the state
at the November election, and that
there will be q gain of three if not. four
congressman. He says that he does not
believe that Governor Hendricks has any
further presidential ambition. Sergeant
alarms Bright agrees with Judge Niblock
IN his CONFIDENCE as to the Democratic sue
cess in the state this fall, and says that the
sumptuarys legislation of the Republicans
will greatly aid the Democracy.
GREELEY's EXPEDITION.
WAsHIseroN, Sept 24.-Gen. Hazen,
chief of the signal bureau, has advices that
the supply expedition which sailed in the
steamer Neptune from ST. Johns, New
foundland, July s, of this year with addi-
tional stores for Lieutenant Greeley's par
ty, returned Saturday to st. Johns, unable
to reach Lieutenant Greeley. The vessel
is reported solid in an ice barrier ex-
tending from Cape Inglefeld to
Ross bay. 1t. Greely's station Is in lati-
tude 81 degrees, 40 minutes, while the yes
sci was only able to reach latitude 79 de-
grees, minutes. The party remained till
September 5, at which date ice had formed
to the depth of four inches. and to remain
longer would be to remain for the winter.
The Neptune was enabled to establish de-
pots to secure Lit. Greely's safe retreat
should it become necessary year or two
hence. No anxiety for the safety Of Lit.
Greely's party is entertained. They are
amply supplied with stores of all kinds for
at least two years. The impossibility of
annually reaching the station was foreseen
and provided for.
