HISTORY BUILDERS.
By DR.. E. J. EDWARDS.
Why Gen. DIX Was Made
Secretary Of the Treasury

The late lie Grand B. Cannon was one
Of the wealthy citizens Of New York
who became prominently Identified with
the organization Of volunteer regiments
at the outbreak OF the civil war. He was
associated with Gen. John z. Wool. who,
early in Is61, was placed in command OF
the military district OF which New York
City was the center. After Gen. Wool
was transferred to Fortress Monroe Col
Cannon, as a member Of his stan, served
with him at that point.
In his later years Col Cannon was fond
OF narrating some of his experiences In
civil war days and in the period Just
prior 10 the outbreak of hostilities. He
was one OF the founders OF the Union
League Club in New York, and he fire.
quently gathered around him members
of the club. to whom he narrated, with
charming simplicity and yet dignity of
manner and with q singularly appropri-
ate narrative style. some OF the anec-
dotes associated with his earlier expert
ences.
Upon the walls of the Union League
Club Col Cannon had caused to be
placed certain memorials of Gen. John
A. Dix, and one day while chatting with
his friends his eye happened to fall upon
one OF these quaint embIazonrIes, and he
said:
Il suppose there are very few persons
who know how and why Gen. Dix be-
came Secretary OF the Treasury near the
close OF the administration of President
Buchanan. At the time Gen. Dix became
Secretary Of the Treasury the general
presumption was that 1t was because OF
his fine record as a soldier and his Wig
orous declaration in favor OF maintain
ing the Union at any cost
But the real reason for his selection
was different from that ascribed by the
public. In the early part of the last year
OF President Buchanan's administration
Philip +. Thomas. who was Secretary of
the Treasury. went from Washington to
New York to see II he could secure from
the New York bankers a loan of s., 3,O00. 900
for the Federal government Thomas
was ready to make any terms. He said
to the bankers when they met in con-
ference that the Treasury Department
was perilously near bankruptcy and that
5000 600 was imperatively needed.
AT first the bankers declined TO make
the loan, but a committee OF citizens, OF
whom ! was one. visited the bankers and
said that. as a matter OF self-interest
they ought to make the loan, because II
the credit Of the government should be-
come greatly impaired private credit also
would soon be injured.
After much hesitation the banks
agreed to loan the government g, OOOOO
but upon the express condition that all
Of this money should be used in payment

of the current expenses of the govern

Of the current expenses Of the govern
ment.
Not long after the Treasury Depart
nent received the money the greater part
OF IL was transferred to New Orleans.
New York bankers were very indignant.
They protested to President Buchanan
that this was a violation Of the agree
ment and declared that the New York
banks would decline again to lend money
to the government
Buchanan asked whether II there were
change in the Treasury Department
the bankers would be more favorably
disposed. and intimated that he might
appoint Gen. Dix Secretary Of the Treas
ury. 1t was clear to him that the ap-
pointment of Dix as Secretary OF the
Treasury would be so satisfactory to the
New York bankers that they would be
ready to make another loan to the gov
ernment.
"In a few days Thomas resigned as
Secretary Of the Treasury. Gen. Dix was
appointed, and he had no difficulty in
securing a considerable loan from the
New York bankers on much more favor
able terms for the government than
Thomas was compelled to accept before
he secured his loan of S3e00,000.
That is the real reason why John A.
Dix became Secretary Of the Treasury
late in the administration Of President
Buchanan"

The object of her journey abroad was
service for the ConfederaCy, the exact
character of which is not clear. II would
appear that she carried dispatches in

foreign residence her talents and attrac-

friends in high circles for the COnfed-
crate cause.
Only a revelation Of the many delicate
negotiations and ambitious plans that
were put on foot in England and France
to help the Confederate government
would throw light on this brilliant wOm-
