ROBERTSON, GARFIELD'S POSITION, NEw Your, April L—A speelal from Washington saya: ** There 13 rood ground for stating that the President holds that in nominating Judge Robertson for Collector of the Port of New York ho was gulded solely by n desire to subserve the public In- terests nnd promote harmony {n the Repub- liean party in Now York. The President, it Is eredibly reported, did discuss with Conk- Iing, in o general way, sevéral appointments for New York, but did not say anything to that Senator in reference to the appolntient of Judge Robertson as Collector of Cus- toms, Previous to noninnting Judee Robert~ son, he had nominated several New York gentlemen for oflices known to be FRIENDS OF CONKLING, aniong them being Postiaster-General James and Minister Morton. Before Jeaving Mentor he determined to nominate Judge Robertson for Coflector of Customs, beeause e regnrded him as n competent man for that office, nnd beeause ho desired to recognize that element of the Republlean party In New Yorkof which Judge Robertsonis o vrominent representative. Tlio President numits that this clement is in the minerity in New York, but ns the jocal officers nom- innted by hiin had been selected trom among Conkling's friends, ho thought it ndvisiblo to nnue Judge Robertson for an oflice which he regards as ; NATIONAL IN CHARACTER, ‘The nomination was not made with a view of placing un opponent of Conkling in chnrge of the Custom-House, and not_with the view of using its vnst patronage for ur agajust any individual or factlon, On tho contrary, tho Dresldent is detor- mined. that the Customn-Ilouse suall not be wused for purtisan purposes, and, shonld Judge Robertson bo coutirmed, tho President has expressed a determination to lystruet him that any attenpt to use his oflice for the prowotlon of the political in- terests of any man of faction WILL RESULT IN 1Ii§ BPEEDY REMOVAL. Regarding, n8 he does, the Collector of Customs it Now York us a Natlonn! and not a Jocnl ofticer, the President does not be- love that he was' required, by nny rule of courtesy or practlco reluting to the se- lection of Federal officers, to consult the New York Senators in_reference to that partieufar appointment, The President, It 1s futther reported, clulms . ihat -Robertson’s nominatlon was his Individual act, free from suggestion, and without consultation with any of s constitutional rdvisers. 'There is ®ood ground aiso for stating that BECRETARY BLAINE DISCLAIMS ANY RE- BPONBIRILITY for Robertson’s appointment, 1fe has no a]melnl Interest in tho question s to who shall oceupy tho position of Collector of Custons at” New York, for the reason he is determined never agaln to be a candidate for the Presidency, and therefora does not, as has been nlicped, entertaln a destre to hnve auy particular person appolnted to that’ oflice” beenuse of services rendered in the past, or from wny expeetntion forservices In the future caleutated to promote his polit- deal interests.

Mr. Win- dom el his conterenco nt the Sub-Treasury buitdig, and among those who talked with him on the financlul sltuntion were Mr. A. 8, atel, of Fisk & lateh: Mr. George F, DBaker, Prestdent of the First National Ban| 5 Mr, August Belmout, and Mr. George Bliss of Morton & Rilss; Mr. George 1.

Alr. Hatch {3 understood to have ‘:_r““ the ground at Arst that the. bonds “t u': tot due: that they wers redeemablo by 0 option of the Government after cer- alit dates; and that ¢ the ‘Treusury did not l‘t""’ the money with which to redeem them COuld walt untll 1t did have it To this Georgo Dliss replied that the Gov- ernment had awnys met its obligations ntmaturity, and hitherto It had considered tiouds duo at the date after which they might be pald.. 1o urged, nlso, that st the tine of the issue of tho 6 it wus undoubtedly the intention to mnke the lssne A twenty-years? foan, and that THE DUYERS OF THI 1I0NDS 8O UNDEN- ek ATOOD 117 To'this Mr, Tlateh retorted by proposing that ander these elrcumstinees the ‘Freasury should give notice nt onee that nfter n cer- talu day It would redcem the whole amount of Gs nnd bs outstanding, and that, nt the samo thne, the optlon would bu glven to holders to extend the bonds at 3 per cent In- terest, The Trmsury would have about $210,000,000 avallabl for the payment of the bonds, and that sum would bo more than sufllclent to meet die enlls that would be made upon the I%nsury. To an inqulry from Seeretary Windom ns to how that suin was made tup, Mr Hantch offered TIE FOLLOWING ESTIMATES From the sale of 4 per cents, $115,000,000; surplus resonrces, $00,000,000; and "Crensury tonds, under tho Bayard mmendment, 850,- 000,000, M, Blias suguested that 1t was un- becoming thedignity of the Governmentthat it should wlvertiseto redecm nenrly $700,000,000 maturing bonds, when the whole world would know that It did not have over $250,+ 000,000 applicablo for the purpose; that it was not wise or proper that the Treasury should Indulge In a mere gamo of binfl, In regard to the extending of the bonds at a lower rato of interest, there was considerable discus- sion whether the rate shouhd be fixed at B or 3 per cent. Mr. Hatel urged the lower rate, but 1t s understood others present were doubtful whether that rate' would Le necept- able to the holders of the bonds. Awong tho objectlons to the 3 per cent rate 1t was supgested that the Qquestlon hnd s wider meaning than the mere extenston of matur- ing bonds, It was urged that, at that rate, COUNTRY BANKS would be unable to muke thelr nota circuln. tion profitable, and that they woutd be likely to surrender it. It wrs objected, also, that it hiotders were willing to extend the bonds nt that rate, the very suctess of the plan would affect future funding legisiation. It would be nrgtied In Congress that anew funding bill was unnecessary, for under no, circunstances could an act so favorable to the Government be mnde, The ‘Government would be borrowing money at ¥ per cent which it could pay at any time, but of which the lenders could at no tine demand, the payment, It wns admitted by all present that the Treasury could mot extend the bonds for any defiult period without the authorlty of an act of Congress. 1t Is understood that the general oplujon was against the cxtending of the bonds, buteMr, Hatch did not admit that the plan was lmpracticable, ‘There was discus- slon at this conference of the best way of MARKETING THE FOUR PER CENTS, but the niembers of the old syndicate are In favor of public propusuls. Several bank Itresidents who were present wore asked helr opinions as to tho best method of sell- ing the 4 per cent bouds, In' general they favored the plan of making o fixed price, which should yleld the buyers 3% per cent, and of offering the bonds for public subscription, Great oppo- sition to further syndicates was manifested byall. To the proposed plan Mr. Thomp- son, of tho Chase Natlonal Bank, objected that the rate of Interest to beallowed wastoo large; that the plan would work mere harm than a syndicate, beeause the first subserib- er would tako the whole amount at the price. e declared that the rate of interest OUGHT NOT TO NE AHOVE TURKE PER CENT. Some of the bankers wero Inctined to co- incide with this opinlon. 1t was the general sentiment among them thot, unless a fixed price should be.mnde by the Treasury, the botids should' bo offered to the highest bidders at popular subscription. It was suggested that the bonds shoufd be extended one yenr at 3 per cent, but by some it was objected that this was cqulvalent to tho fssue of Treasury certilicutes. There was some discussion ns to the power of the Treas- ury to issuo certifientes to the extent of $150,000,000, but Secretary Windom re- marked that that question was held in abey- unce, It Is understood that he believes ho has no power to [ssue certificates. In regard to the surplus revenues of the Government, the Sceretary was understood to estimate the amount for the year 1o be sufliclent to re- deem the bonds already ealled, and In nddl- tion to produce nbout 880,000,000, THE “SUN” editorially summing up Ginrfleld’s flirst month a8 President, says in conclusion: * Finally wo come to n most lmportaut mntter, Whatever else "Gen. Garfleld might do, and, whatever he might leave un- done, on this one thing his mind was made up and unalterably fixed, and that was thnt tho Treasury should not go to Wall street, And 8o Gen. Garfleld took nn innocent from the Far West, neater to, the setting sun than sin and depravity or n knowledge of finances, next In Inlquity to the forbldden fruit of TIE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE, had ever renched. The innocent came to Washington, took the oath of oflice, and Is now in this city openly declaring he s in a purely judiciol frame of mind. ‘My ideas,” ha says, ‘will be largely governed by thoso with whom 1 shall confer? That is to say, Mr. Windom is a mero igno- ramusns to the duties of the high oflice hie hns assuwmed, and he has come on here to throw himself lncontinontly futo the hands of Wall street and Its®sharpers. Clearly enough, in_spite of all Gen, Garfield’s pro- testatlons, Wall street has the Treasury.” PRUGRESS OF THE CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK—OIEAT INTEREST MANIFESTED, To the Weatern' Assoclated Press, New Yonuk, April 1.—The conference be- tween Seeretary Windommn, Assistant Scee retary Upton, Controller Knox, and At- torney-Goneral MacVeagh nnd New York bankers began at 11 o'clock this morning In the Sub-Treasury bullding, and s now in progress, Never bufore have finanelnl clr- cles hero shown more interest In any finan- clal-event than the present conforence.
