In a debate on Judyes’ salaries In the Sen- ate on Friday last, Senator Canrenren made the following statement : “Whon Gen.

Jamis F. Winson ; but we think that for went of complete ine formation the Senator Goes not tell the story with perfect accuracy. Before Gen, GRANT was sworn in ag Preal- dent he offered to Mr. WiLsoN the office of Secretary of State, and he agroed to accept it, Afterward Mr, WasnBurne of Mlinois besought Gen, GRANT to appoint him to that office a4 a compliment, which would enable him to go with mere prestige as Minister to the Court of NaroLuon UL, which place he had agreed to accept. Gen, GRANT felt him- elf under great obligations to Mr. Wasi. BURNE, and asked Mr, Witson if he would agree to the complimentary appointment of that statesman as Secretary of State, it be ing understood that he should not take the office, but ovly enjoy the honor of being nominated to it and eonfirmed by the Senate. Mr. Wrrson said that Mr. WAsnBURNE was the most malignant, ungenerous, and unfair enemy he had ever had; but that if Gen, Grant desired very much to pay him such 4 compliment he would not stand in the way, and would still he willing to be Sceretary of State afterward. The nomination of Mr. WASsUBURNE was accordingly sent to the Senate. Ie was confirmed, and, to the a prise of everybody but himself, he had him- self sworn in as Secretary on that very day, and at o} began to exercise the authority of the offi More than this, he held on to it for a considerable period, and did not leave it until he was peremptorily required to do so by the President. But meanwhile Mr, Wi- ton withdrew his acceptance of the ploce, raying that he would not take an office which Mr. Wasnpursr had warmed. Nor could any persuasion avail to make him reconsider his determination. Tn one respect, however, Mr. CANKPENTER'S statement is entirely correct. This is where he says that tho $9,000 a year paid to the present Secretary of State is thrown away.
