JAMES MONROE.

We have lately heard of an incident in tho
history of this distinguished man, which at
this lime ought to be written in letters of gold.
ln the year 1914, during the most gloomy
portion of the history OF the war with Great
Britain he held both the offices of Secretary
of State and Secretary of War for some time.
The salary of the first was then Sc 900, and
the latter $4,000. When the first quarter
expired, the agent Of the State department
took him the salary attached to the office he
held in 1t, which he refused to accept although
earnestly urged to do so. He received The
lower salary only, observing that his conduct
must be in such matters above suspicion.
Although then poor, and pressed with debt,
aud poorer 10 the end Of bis life, he never did
receive cent Of the difference, After his
death, and upwards Of 30 years, il was allow.
ed aud paid TO his legal representatives, and
then tiihom interest. Mr.. Pleasauton, the
present auditor Of the Treasury, will certify
TO these facts Wash. Union.

CONDITION OF THE PRESIDENTS
HOUSE


We were very much surprised to read
/ Mr.. Claike's statement oflhe CONDITION of the
Presidents II use for it is the frsi lime we
ever heard of any such complaint. Tho
House is erected on hill, SO tha. damp
basement would never be susp, cted.
In the Senate, on Mouday the 20h ul,.,
Hr. Cla ke said:
will state Mr.. President, to The Senate
rery briefly The situation of The Presidents
House and The a'll''ining places. This sub.
Ject was brought 10 the consideration of the
Committee on Public Buildings, that there
has been great danger TO the occupants of
that house for some time past, in consequence
Of the want of drainnge. The cellars aud
lower part ol the house arc IN a very bad
condition, atid the illness ot some of It's occu.
pants has been attributed by some to the ma.
lara which rises from the lower parl Of the
building. The whole of The basement is now
at times absolutely covered with water, and
IS at all times in 50 bad a condition that il IS
totally unti 70 be occupied even by the do
mesilcs. Til, situation Of The building is
nothing new. Ii was SO when it was occu.
pied by the predecessor OF The late lamented
President. believe my friend from New
! ork Mr. Dtckeuson is aware Of the fact
that very great complaint was made al that
timr and very earnest solicitation was made
'ha, something should be done. Ii requires
a thorough system of drainage about the
house. So as 10 make The basement and cell
lar suitable 10 be occupied. Such is the
state of the building that The incoming pfesl.
dent dare not remain four and twenty hours
IN 1t, but has taken his residence in Georre.
town for the present. | hope, with this ex.
plqnaiion, there will be no objection to tho
passage of the resolution.

GENERAL TAYLOR,s PROPERTY.

No regret 10 see it stated in letter TO the
New York Express, that Gen. Tay lor's fam.
lily are not likely to be as comfortable, in
pecunlary point Of view, as was generally
supposed. He left no will We subloin the
following extract from the letter referred to
When he left for Mexico, it is stated that
IN three sealed letters, he left directions for
the management of his property, in case of
his death there, in which was supposed TO be
wIll-and these threa letters were not OPEN
ed til after his burial here-bu, no will was
amongst them. and the directions applied 10
property which is now almost wholly chan.
ged in its form.
+" Indeed his family now have no home,
and therefore, Mrs. Taylor, it is supposed,
Will moi return to Louisiana. His plantation
on the Mississippi has been sold since he
came here to enable him 10 purchase a su.
gar plantation below, so that home is lost
Previously, however, he had purchased ano.
ther midway plantation, bu, that has turned
out to be very Improbable piece of proper
ty, making no crops, in consequence of being
flooded repeatedly. Then the homestead is
gone to make one payment on sugar plan;a-
uon on which something like seventy or
eighty thousand dollars must now be due
ard the middle plantation is under water.-
Probably some Of the Presidential salary was
relied upon 10 meet the further payment on
the sugar plantation, but that salary is gone.
! ou see from these general facts, that Gen.
Taylor died in very unfortunate time for
lie interest Of his family. He had, preyi.
viously however to Col. Bss's marriage
with his daughter, settled upon her a con.
siderable sum of money.
