Tho remarkable activity of the renl estate market in New York at the present time las induced many persons to inquire whether the high prices realizod for unimproved property in tho upper part of the city are a true in dex of ite value, or whether they are merely the reeult of a rpecalative movement. Real estate, it must be rememberod, is as much an article of merchandise as breadetuits, cotton, or stocks, and is Hable to similar fluctuations in value, In the speculative era of 1837, millions of acres of land in all parts of | the country were bought and sold at prices far beyond their intrinsic value, and when the reaction took place thousands of persons were ruined, not because land was not a legitimate object of barter, but because much more of it was offered for aale than was needed, and because the anxiety of purcha: sera to buy, aided by the manmuyres of sell- era, gavo to it temporarily an undue value, Bates Noriors, per line ; conta Lape ADVERTISEMENTS Clare) Oulyfor the epace ecenpied Je Weexty—per line as above. ‘THE SUN te rerved to enbwerfhers at thetr homes, week.

Among the many reports that reach us from Washington, itis impossible to arrive @t satisfactory conclusions in regard to the imbroglio respecting Mr. A.'T. Srrwarer and the Treasury Department. The drift of the current seoms to indicate that he has placed hie resignation at the disposal of the Prosident, and it is certain that Cor gress has thus far not taken any advanced step toward repealing the laws which dix qualify him from holding the seals of the Treasury, Rumors from a variety of sources assert that in the event of his withdrawal, Mr. Bourwetr will be substituted in his place ; and that as Mr, Hoan, the new At- torney-General, is like Mr, BouTWELL a citi- ten of Massachusetts, therefore, in order to prevent the location of two members of the Cabinet in one State, Mr. Moan will resign, and that a gentleman from this State will bo Appointed in hig stead, For this position the name of Mr. LyMAN ThemMain of Albany je mentioned, Of the emin: fitness of Gov, Bourwni for the office of Secretary of tho Treasury this journal has repeatedly spoken, Judge TREMAIN has long stood in the front raw of the lawyers of New York, Many year ago, after having occupied a seat on the bench In Greene county, he removed to Albany, and at once took a prominent position at the bar of the State capital, being regarded as the peer of Powren, Hanis, PeckiaM, and Reynoips, and second only to NicnoLas Aru In 1857, Judge Tremarn was the Demo- eratic candidate for Attorney General of New York, and after a warm canvass was elected over Mr. WintiamM Curtis Noyes, ot this tity, the Republican candidate, by 17,000 majority, In 1859 he was again the tandidate of the Democracy, but the Repull licans had now regained their ascendency, ‘and he was beaten by Mr, Crranies G, My. Ens by a majority of 49,000, In 1861, the first year of the war, he was again renomi nated by the Democratic State Convention, Daniet 8. Dicktxson being the Union Re publican nominee. Judge Tear, in an eloquent letter, promptly and peremptorily declined the nomination, and gave his enthu- Bastic support to the Union ticket, which triumphed Ly the tremendous majority of 109,000. At this great erisia Judge TREMAIN took the stand from which he las never fora moment retreated, but which he has main taincd with ability and courage, In 1862 Gen. Janrs 8.

In 167 the Republican party was organized, It electod its Governor in the same year by 9,405 majority. From that time until the present the Republicans have elected their candidates by majorities ranging from 2, in 1868 to 6,127 in 1865. In 1893 three candidates ran, and the election was thrown into the Legisla- ture, which chose a Republica The last Democratic Cony an from New Hampshire was Danier, Mancy, of Portsmouth, who was elected in the First District, in 183, by 80 majority.
