FROM WASHINGTON, JUOCE CRESHAM SUCCEEDS TO THI TREASURY DEPARTMENT. Me Is Notified at the Last Moment of HU Appointment and Qualfiee at Midnight—Much Cossip About the Matter. Washington, September 25,—Judge W. Q. Gresham, postmaster-general, received a telegram from the President after 11 o’clock last night, informing him of his appointment to the secretaryship of the treasury. He immediately qualified and neat to the resident lis resignation as postmaster-general. At 10 o’clock this morning Mr. Gresham went to the Treas ury Department with Secretary Chandler. His designation from the President was Riven to him by Mr. O. L. Pruden, assist ant private secretary to the President, and his commission by the third assistant sectary of atate, Mr. A. A. Adee. The ivm assistant secretaries of the treasury, Messrs. French and Coon.were present and tendered him their congratulations. The new secretary will leave here this «vening to consult aiih the President. Under the law, First FAesUtnnt Postmaster-tieneial Hatton became acting postmaster-general for ten days. The President to-day designated Assist ant Secretary Coon to act as secretary of the treasury during the absence or sick- nesa at any time of Secretary Gre.-ham. Mr. Coon was al.*o authorized by the sec retary to sign in bis stead all warrants for Ihe payment of money into the public treasury and all warrants for disburse xnent from the public treasury of money certified by the proper accounting officers of the treasury. A a-milar authority to sign warrants during the absence or sick ness of Assistant Secretary Coon was dele gated to Assistant Beer, tary French All bureau and divi*inu officers of the depart ment called on tlie new secretary about noon, and were presented by Mr. Coon. A great df al of speculation and com ment has been occasioned by the state of affairs in the Treasury Department, much of which has been condensed in an article intbc&fflr this evening, from which the following extracts are made: “Thefact of the appointment of Judge Gresham was not generally known until this morning, and it cause d great surprise among mem bers of the cabinet. Howevir, it has been tho subject of talk for several dnys past, and Judge Gre ham has known that he might be called upon to take the place in a certain contingency. The contingency was the inability to obtain a decisive answer from the gentleman whom the Prev.dt nt has in view for the treasury portfolio. This gentleman is believed to be Hugh McCullough. Judge Gresham accepted the position as a matter of accommodation to the President, and his intimate friends aay that It is only a temporary appoint ment. The duration of the appointment is commonly fixed till shout the 1st of Oc tober, when it is believed that Judge Gresham will resign and accept a judge ship on the Illinois circuit bate Isst night, after he had retired, Judge Gresham was visited by assi-tant BecreUry of Htate Adee, who told him that lie had received a commission from the President for his appointment as Secretary of tho Treasury. This was an entire sur prise to the Postmaster-General, and the only intimation he had received bf such a . possibility was a te egrsni from the Presi dent a couple of dsys ago asking him (Gresham) if he would be in town on the 2-itb. Secretary Chandler, who lives near Mr.Grcshan . was at once summoned, aud Gresham tendered his resignation as post master-general, which was accepted by Secretary Chandler for the President. Tho letter of resignation simply consisted of Its address and the form of words, “I hereby resign the office of postmaster-general of the United States.” AssUtint Secretary of State Adee informed Mr. Gresham that St was necessary for htin to qualify an Sec retary of the Treasury before midnight. Thereupon the three efikisls proceeded to the residence of Judge Wylie, corner of Fourteenth street and Massachusetts avenue, and the oath of office waa admin istered by h m. This morning Mr. Gresh am occupied the desk of S* ret ary of the Treasury. He is not well, and baa gone to »w York to confer with the President, and it is doubtful if he will return to bis new duties at < nee. Mr. Coon will act as secretary during his absence. The cir- ( um tuncee attending the appointment of the new lecretar? are venr peculiar. The fact that Gresham waa offered the treas ury portfolio shortly after the dea'h of BecreUry Po'gtr, but decliued it, the sub sequent designation of Mr. Coon to act as secretary, and the delay in making the ap pointment till within an hoar of the lim ited time lead to the belief that the Pre i- deat was waiting for a response from some one who had been tendered the office. It is the impression that the r* tponve was not receivtd in time, or that it was in the shape of a declination. Hence the sudden appointment of Gre-ham; and there aei uistobeno doubt about the truth of the rep< rt that Grealiam’a appointment would be but temporary. The belief that thePretldeOi intended to give the treasury portfolio to an ex-rccretanr of the tree* i'<ry (a still entertained, and bo.h Boutwell and McCullough arc mentioned hi that connection. The rtelgnatlon of the postmaster-generalship leaves that office vacant. It was supposed tbatGreah- ham’s com mission as secretary o! !be Treasury would be accompanbd by one appointing Frank Hatton as Postmaster- General, but there was no communication from ih** President on that subject Mr. Hattoit will act as Ptstmaster-General, and it is generally thought that he will re- ceivathe permanent appointment Fnllovirg wbat has been hla uniform prac i< e iii.« < the question of a successor ioSeor tarv Folger came under discussion, Gen Gr* Lain declines to sax anything about tis own or tbe Preside! t’» future intentions In regard to the tteasury and the VN eatern Judge*hip. There are conse quently about as many person! who hold to the opinion that be will remain in the treasury until tbe erd of President Ar thur’s term as who think that be is merely a locum tennu for somebody who is slow in making up his mind.

For six years these Mormons have been nnmolested. but the murder of Elders Gibbs and Berry in Lewis county, has greatly alarmed them.

September 24.-The Aew England Home tit ad will this week publish an elaborate report on the potato crop, from nearly 1,00 * special correspond ents. These reports show that throughout the Canadian provinces, New England and New York, the acreage and yield are con siderably btlow last year’s. As a whole the acreage has decreased about fifteen per cent., and the yield is about one-third less than in 1683. This mskei the acroige nearly the same as in 1882, with a consid erably lighter yield. Trices now range from twenty two cents per bushel, as the lowest shipping price iu New York 8*afe, to $1 at eastern Massachusetts towns, averaging thirty-five and fifty cents per bushel. Tbe rot is quite prevalent and grubs have greatly injured the tubers in many sections. The crop In the Eastern provinces and Quebec is short. In tome sections it is almost a complete failure. New York’s average and yield are below the figures for 1883 and there is a general disposition to hold. The Western crop it below the average, and tbe Southern de. mand promises to be larger than usual. All indications are in favor of higher prices. _ _ Elopement In High Life.

He very much wanted to have a reconciliation between Gov. Hubbard and his fiancee; but the houored statesman passed to his rest on the 2ttth of February of this year without having forgiven his daughter the mortification she had brought him. His sickness was of short duration, and the penitent woman, on hearing that her father was fatally IU, hurried to Hart ford to see him. But he was unconscious when she reached the bouse, and In a few hours he died. Those who knew him well said he hod been a broken-hearted man ftatn the day he first learned of Nellie’s marriage. By the advice of family friends the unhap py daughter waa prevailed upon nottole present at tbe funeral, but she saw the cor tege pass to the cemetery from the windows of the house of an old friend. Hlie returned to Meriden and made every effort to again cam •he esteem of her old acquaintance*. A few weeks after the burial of her father she again visited Hartford, and was received with open arms by her mother and sisters, and she has been at the old home several times during thu summer. A month ago she went to Hartford, where she remained with her family until she departed to-night on her wedding journey. Hbu kept aloof from callers, and only the immediate friends of the faroUy knew that she wa* there. The neighbors, even, did not know It.

It may be said that no good will come of a premature agitation of this matter, but it U evident that it must come up before the Legis lature soon to meet, and there is no reason why it should not now lie considered.
