CREDIBLE.--The New York Sun says it is creditable to Hon. John A. Griswold, the Republican candidate for Governor, of New York, that he interested himself in favor of the widow and children of Gen. Halpine. We learn that Mr. Griswold accompanied the Hon. Horace Greeley on his visit to Gov. Fenton, and united with Mr. Greeley in urging upon the Governor the appointment of some honorable and trustworthy man as Register, who would pay over the income of the office to Mrs. Halpine. It was on the strength of the joint recommendation of Mr. Greeley and Mr. Griswold, supported by the telegrams of Gen. Grant, Gen. Sherman, and Gen. Sheridan, that Gov. Fenton agreed to make such an appointment. We are glad to learn that Gov. Fenton has appointed Gen. Patrick H. Jones to fill the vacancy. This Christian effort of Mr. Greeley and Mr. Griswold, to which the heart of the people warmly responds, softens somewhat the asperity of partisan strife.
