SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

upon the President to-day IN company
with Senator Pendleton, and formally no.
titled the President of his acceptance OF
the Office Of Comptroller of Currency. He
has received many letters in reference to
the redemption Of two-cent check stamps,
not required by law to be used after July
l next. The law provides for the redemp-
ton Of stamps not issued, provided they
are presented for payment within three
years from the time Of purchase from the
Government.
The President accepts the resignation OF
James Gilfllan, Treasurer Of the United
States. 1t is no. likely his successor will
be appointed for some time. Assistant
Treasurer Wymsn is mentioned as likely
to receive the appointment. The Cabinet
meeting was short and unimportant.
James Gilfllan, Treasurer of the United
States, sent in his resignation late this
afternoon. The Treasurer's salary is
ST. 900 and he has to give an immense
bond, and carry a very heavy responsible
ity, and the position requires q capacity
that banking and railroad companies
would pay two or three times as much for.
For some time past Gillian has felt thai
his compensation was inadequate, and has
been negotiating for business outside.
Last Winter he visited Florida in the in
terest of a land company that he is a stock.
holder in, and it is understood that he re-
signs to devote himself to the affairs OF
that company. Gilfillan first entered the
Treasury as a clerk % years ago, his being

| rotary Chase. He was for several years
clerk and afterwards became Assistant
Treasurer, Mr.. Wyman then being Treas
/ urer. The ~latter's health is not good. and
the responsibility OF the place proved
too heavy for him, and at his
request he and Gilillan were trans
posed. That was six years ago.
Gilfllan is one Of the ablest men in the
public service. There is more plain COM
mon sense and sagacity, and less red tape
about him than about almost any other
| person in the Treasury. There are plenty
Of men who will be willing to succeed him,
but the President will be extremely fortu-
nate if he is able to fill the place with a
man as good as Gilfllan. The danger is
that the place will go to a man st a great
distance from the present incumbent in
point Of ability. There is reason to be-
lieve tina. Gillian informed the President
Of his intentions some time ago, but was
prevailed on to withhold his resignation
till Congress adjourned. The President
did not care to have a place worth Sc, 900 a
year vacated where all the Senators and
Representatives we're Julius Caesars. Bur
rows Of Michigan, a member of the late
Congress, bu. not a member Of the next
one, has been making mysterious illusions

Indignant at Speaker Keller.
WASHINGTON, March GA meeting OIL
newspaper correspondents was held yester'
day to express their indignation over the
treatment received by them from Speaker
Keifer on Saturday night. in regard to the
admission Of men bers' families and friend:
to the journalists galleries Of the House,
to the great Inconvenience, and. in many
instances, the entire exclusion Of CORES
pondents. The conduct censured was the
refusal Of the Speaker to afford the jour
nslists the right secured to them by
standing rule of the House, and the alleged
insulting manner in which the refusal
was expressed. The language Of the re-
fussl is characterized as not only grossly
inpolite, but blasphemous in character,
In reply to these remarks Keifer published
a long card, in which he denies the pro.
family attributed to him. He says the
admission OF ladies to the reporters gal.
leries was by vote Of the House, and be
sneered at the correspondents, because, al
he put it, they thought themselves toe
good to associate with the wives OF Con
gressmen.

Finally she concluded that the people O
Buffalo did not care to hear her. She wal
assured by those acquainted with the sit
uation that she had a host OF friends here
