THE NEW SRORETARY. OF THE TREAS. Juuso. Folger, of Now Yorl, wos yoster- day nominated and confirmed as Seeretary ofthe Treasury, It may be nssiimed, after the fara pas in the ease of ex-iov. Morgan, that Judge Folger's aeeentines of the 'Trens- wy portfolio hat been detiultiy ascertained before he was nombuated. ‘The new Seere- tary has nol up to this time achieved a Nae tional reputation, thangt he isa man of eon- alderable logal tinportanee th New York, Io was Chivf Jytstlee of that State at the the of his appolntinent ns Seeretary of the ‘l'rens- Sonu rs tio le was Assistant.

Many eireumstanees indieate that Conkling was President Arthitn’s itrst cholce, aud It ts belleved In Washington that the place fs to ho hetd in trust, subject to Conkling’s future aceeptunee, ‘This was generally understood to be the ease wvhen ex-Goy. Morgan was nominated, beeause it was known that tis advaneedt age and fl health woult not pers mit a long tenure of the office, Now that Judge Folger tins been ealiedde the position itis suid that he aceepts under the hope and promise that Justlee Taunt shall: be retired from the Supreme Beneh during the winter to make room for him in that tribunal. The theory is certainly plausible. Judge Folger was holding the highest office ti bis State In the He of his profession, drawing 0 salary of $12,000 per unnum,. was to serve fourtven years, and at the end of that term was entited to retirement on full pay, It hardly seems rensonably that Judge Folger would surrender sitel advantages to take 9 Cubinet position of uncertaln tenure which pays only 85,000, and which, at the best, cane hot Inst ata (ttle mora than three years, ‘The prospeet of n Ilfe position on theSu- preme Bench of the United States, however, would naturally tempt ao man like Judge Folger. ‘There is no doubt. that he will be entirely willing to make way for Conkling In the ‘Treasury Department whenever a Su- preme Judgeshlp shall be offered to him; aud, even If |t shall prove impracticable to retire Justice Munt, the President seems In- elined to hold apen the yacaney on the Su- prome Beneh created by tho death of Justive Clifford, though the urgency of filling that vacancy was clted as the ehle€ reason .for eatling the extra session of the Senate. Whether or not Conk! ing 1s to became See retary of the ‘Treasury in due tine, it fs cer taln that President Arthur titends that the place shall be Wed only by a New-Yorker, Tn this purpose ho antagonizes directly the volley of the Inte President Gartleld, who, In rejecthhg Me. “Morton, Judge Folger, and all the other New-Yorkers whom My. Conkling entleavered to force upon him, took the Broun that it woutd be unwise and fmproper to give the contro! of the Government finances futo the hands of n New York poll clan or a resident of New York City. Pres which he nsked to be distributed, but he kept tho proofs, He never intended to publish the articles; lls purpose was that ff the tari! should prove disastrous, and If in after years hts own aspirations should be met by his im- med approval of the Yarif, he conld produce these proof-shects ns evidenes of his personal opposition to tat tarlit, and defend his none publication of tham on the ground that he did not want to embarrass and defeat the Demoeratle party, ‘Tho old Publle Funetlon- ary find thus hedged hhuself with testimony of iis own making, Mr. ‘Tyner evidently Knew all about the proceedings of Braty’s Mug; he was an olliclat associate of Braily | and at some Suture thie might ke held sponsible for his knowledge and none posure of the robbery golug on jn lis own departinent, So. prepared this report ox- posing and denounelug tho proceedings of Brady, and then taid the report enrefuily away to be used in his own vindteation if tho starroute frands were proseeuted, and care: tuily Kept: out of sight should the Brady wang of conspirators cleet their mau nnd thelr protector President, ‘The plan, in- kentuus as it was, seems to lave faited, and Mr Tyner is ont of oflice, despite ef his re- port.

Prestdent Gariteld consitered carefully the qualifications of Judge Folger for the Secro- taryship of the Treasury, anu decided not to appolut him, forfour reasons: Firat, beeanse he had no special knowle of the Natlonal finances, never having served In Congress or heen conspicuous In any way as a financier, Secondly, beenuse he was fdenttiled with the political machine which sought to control tho custom-house In Now York City. 'Chird, because the West and South objected strongy ly to the appointment of anybody who might be constdered n representative of Wall strect and the importing Interests of New York City. Fourth, because the Judge had an enornious claim then ponding before the Su- preme Court of the United States for extra compensation on account of alleged services in the sale of revenue stamps wills ho wos Sub- ‘Teeasurer nt Ney York, and recelying a sal- ary for doing that work. ‘The first threo’ Tensous are familiar to the public, but the elreumstances connected with Judge Fol- gor’s claim for enorinous extra pay are not go generally known. A’ recital of tha facts may be of Interest at this time, * Folger, was ‘Assistant ‘Treasurer at New York from Novy. 16, 1869, to July. 1, 1870, or seven mouths and fourteen days. During that perlod his clerks received from the Com- missiouer of Internal Revenue aud disposed by snla of $5,400,477 worth of eonmon rey- enue stamps and $2304 uf proprietary stamps. ‘The Government allowed a comnnis- ston of 6 per cent in ensh on sales of the fore ner and 10 per ‘cent*on sales of the Inter. ‘Chis commission yas allowed by the Internal Tevenue office at Washington to purchasers of stuinps at wholesale, who bought to sell again. A supply,of stamps was put tn the enstody of the Sub-Treasury. at New York, tu be hanted out by clerks, so that purchasers In that elty might enjoy the same advantages: fs those who bought dircetly from the Com- inisstoner of Internal Revenue. Folger aid, tu fact, allow full commisstons to purchasers atthoSub-Treasury, and paid ontin this man- ner $173,277 to those who bought Internal revenue strinps,- and $2,075, to those who honght proprietary stainps, When the ac- counts had all been settled he eluimed that hewas personattyontitied to the conumisstons which he had already allowed to purchasers of stamps, and set up this preposterous elaim agninst the United States for the full amount, with Interest, or §185,29—the work haying been done by clurks paid by the Gov ernment, ‘Thore wag nota shadow of right, Justice, or. equity in the claim, Folger had once paid tho commissions to purchasers as tho taw provided. In attempting’ to obtain an- other commilsslon on the sume stamps for his personal benelit ho was seeking to take ad- vantage of his own negligence, supposing that the previous construction of the lnw by him was erroneous, But in any ease the elahn was purely technteal snd dishonest. Ibbad not an element of justicein it. "Lhe Judge was Sub-Treasuror 20 days, 11e had asalury of $8,000 per anni for lus services, lls clalu over and above bis salary amounted to an average of $18 por day for his wholo term of servieo! Yet the salo of revenie stamps devolved no addinonal Jnbor upon him; did not increase the nmount of hig bond, or add to his responsibilities in any manner, He would have been Habla to reeolye and take charge of the funds realized from the sate of stamps, even if they had been disposed of by another agent.
