Can il be true, as the Frankfort, Argus states
that Gen. Harrison received, from the last Admin
istration " pay az the rate of $4,000 per aiin,,m
for the time which he employed in Ohio from Nav
10 november IN their own and his private inter
ests" We can scarcely credit the existence of
| such an abuse-Ifit be 20, it was high time 10
| make areform.-The following from his success.
sor proves, at least, that they DO no. mean 10 fol-.
| low any such example:
Extract OF letter from I'hortg, p Moore,
! Minister to C0ionibid 10 his friend IN EJ0ub-
! J0yf, dated H0rro,isb,u.g .qprii An. 1929
| DEAR SIR Among other objections urged
against the sctof the Executive OF the United
States, appointing me Minister TO Colombia,
perceive II is stated that am TO receive a salary
from the period at which the nomination was con-
| hrmed, and that the government will thus be cor.
| strained TO defray the salaries of two Ministers
! to the same place and for the game time. The
mistake I'D this respect may he some what pardon
able in those who form their anticpations of the
conduct Of the present administration from the u
sages OF the last. As Minister to Colombia. I
shall receive no salary until ACTUALLY enter on
the public service; and as the notification Of his
recall will not reach Gen. Harrison for three mr.
four months. during which period will remain in
tins country, the amount of salary which would
accrue In the me antine, will neither be ehnTee,f
nor receiced by me. My friends may be ass,,r-
ed, that will not fall into the errors which I
nave condemned in others. UiU make no eicc
pioneering speeches-UiH interfere IL, none Of
fhe Stale E'ccfions--and receive no paw while /
remain at home engaged in my personal affairs"
correspondent OF the Charleston Courier
writes from Washington on the s,b inst "In tbe
meantime. Gen. Jackson sits most part OF the tay
smoking his pipe. in the midst Of columns of letters
and documents requiring his perusal and his sig.
nature. He declares he has hardly time TO ca,
bis dinner, and frequently takes his basin OF SOUP
in the room where he Is writing, instead of poinp
into the dining room" 1.-The writer means thai
The President does not Intend TO the letters and
documents, &c, lac is inistaken;. az we understand
from The nost respectable authority that he per.
sonaly attends TO them all--and vet because
Gen j. denies hiinselfto visitors when he is so en-
ployed about the public business, he must be ex.
posed TO the imputaton OF wishing to establish a
system Of etiquette, &c.
