of Chief Justice Marshall to retire from

motives assigned are truly worthy OF that
great man, and il is to be hoped his example
will he held worthy of imitation by the
present and the Judges Of succeeding times

A voluntary abdlcation is certainly much
more honorable than expulsion by law or
by a constitutional provision, which seems
to be the favorite projects OF the present

MIR. MoNRoE,s ACCOUNTS

Mr.. Monroe has spread before the ma
ton, in document, the great length u
which precludes It's Insertion entire IN thi
paper, the grounds upon which he claim
from the government remuneration foI
services rendered, and for which he ma
been unpaid. We are indebted to th,
Richmond Wing for the following summa
Iry of the positions assumed by Mr.. Mon
roe:
|. The first claims which the late Pre-
sident brings forward, are founded on cir
cumstances which occurred in his embass
to France under Gen. Washington, com
menciag in l794 and ending Dec. 1896
He was recalled Dy Gen. Washington al
this late date. andhis salary suspended al
the same time. As he could not return to
the L. States before the Spring, without
exposing his family to the Ga ger aud in
cons enrnce Ola Winter voyage, he claims
continuance of his salary Tor the period
from December to April he was thus
compelled to remain in France. lie
claims during the same period, for the in
adequacy Of the allowance for contingent
expenses, both As compared with the al
o"ance OF other Ministers, aud vita the
actual contingent expenditures.
"2. That III his second mission, no outfit
was allowed him at the time of his ap
pointment, nor until after his return, when
on the settlement of his account in 1910,
the losses winch he had sustained were
made apparent.-The difference between
the allowance al the one and at the other
period, caunot, he thinks, be fairly est
mated, by the mere interest Of HE money
tor the term during winch II was withheld.
At the same time, he admits, that MIR.
Jelicrson's motive for not allowing the out
fit at the tine Of bis appointment was pa
trolic and just.
3. That being informed, when this ap
pOlntnent was communicated to him, that
he must hasten his departure. passage
was taken for him at New Y DIRK ; but his
instructions not beng prepared III time,
the vessel sailed without bum and he was
obliged to pay the owner an adequate
conpensatlon.-This item was casually
omitted when his account was settled.

to him for contingent expenses in the nIo
sion to Great Brtala. He regulated this
item by the amount which had been ALLOW
ed to Mr.. King for Ike term but less

He claims an adequate allowance for
expenses incurred in England, from July
1905, when he returned from SPAN, unill

England for the u. States.
