WARRINGTON, Sept. 25.-The Presi-
aent has appointed Postmaster General
G,asham Secretary of the Treasury.

The contingency WAS in the ability to
obtain decisive answer from gentle
man whom the President had in view
for the treasury portfolio. Judge Ores
ham accepted the position as a matter
of accommodation to the President, and
his intimate friends say 1t is only
temporary appointment. The daration
of the appointment ls com Donly liked
sntil about tho ist of October, when il
Ia believed that Judge Gresham will re
sign, aud uerhaps accept the judeeship
of the Illinois circuit. 1t IL believed
that either McCuIloeL or Boutwell, will
take the secretaryship upon Judge Ores
haG retiring.
The Critic says strong pressure was
brought to bear on the new secretary to
designate Assistant Secretary French To
act in his absence. Gen. Gresham said.
however, that he was compelled to ac-
cept the recent designation OF Mr.. Coon
as an Indication that the President pre-
ferred to have him act. The President
was inclined to appoint Mr.. Coon to the
seoretaryship of the Treasury, and laid
the question before the cabinet, but
some of the latter thought the position
ought to filled by man we'll known IN
public affairs. 1t Is known that at least
two members of the cabinet earnestly
favored tho appointment OF Mr.. Coon.
