Secretary Chase and Jay Cooke.

From the recently published "Biog-
raphy of Jay Cooke. Financie" in the
Civil War" by DR.. Ellis Paxson ODER
hotter, acting for the family, ii ap-
pears that Salmon P. Chase, :esently
senator from Ohio. afterward Chief JUS
tice of the United States. and at chat
time Secretary of the Treasury, came
very near resigning his portfolio in
the cabinet of President Lincoln to be-
come member of the banking house
of Jay Cooke & Co.
The firm was organized in December.
1861, and was composed of JAY Cooke,
then the head of banking house in
Philadelphia; Mr.. J. B. Moorehead. his
brother-in-l law and partner in tine Phil
adelphia house; Henry D. Cooke. his
brother. of Washington: Harris =. Fab
nestock and ]. w. Weir; cashier and
president, respectively, of bank in Har-
risburg, who had been actively en-
ployed in the sale of the Si.UoO,OOO
Pennsylvania state loan and had won
Mr. Cookies good OPT nion in that and
earlier transactions" Mr.. Fahrestock
was offered One-Sixth interest without
contributing capital. with the under
standing that he should remove to
Washington and take active charge of
the details. Mr. Weir was rendered a
one-twentieth interest in the net profits
lin consideration of his influence.
Mr. Chase was offered a large interest,
and held the proposition under oonsid-
Grafton for some time. December 23,
1861, he wrote Mr.. Cooke of his disSat-
isfaction with the administration of af-
fairs at Washington and said:
Steps must be taken toward 1T such
as will restore confidence. or / must
cast off the responsibility and go into
your firm. With most cordial regards.
Yours most faithfully, S. P. CHI ASE."
Mr. Cookies biographer prints many
letters showing the intimate relations,
personal as well as official that ex-
listed between Secretary Chase and the
banker. and they were of very great
value to Jay Cooke & Co. The bfog-
rapher says: Henry D. Cooke came
and went at Mr.. Chase's house and Of
fee almost as an assistant Or private
secretary, and in this way learned much
that was of the greatest value to a
banking house. He remained on terms
of warm intimacy with John Sherman,
and through him closely followed the
doings of Congress. The Washington
house transmitted to Philadelphia the
earliest advices concerning military
movements, of so much influence in de-
Gliding the course of prices in stock
exchanges
