JAMES MoNRoE.-The Washington
Union relates an incident in the history d
this distinguished man, which it seems to
have heard from Mr. Pleasanton, the pre-.
sent Auditor of the Treasury, and which,
it remarks, ought TO be written in letters
Of gold. In the year 1914, during The
most gloomy portion Of the history Of The
war with Great Britain, he held both the
office. Of Secretary of State and Secretary
of War for some time. The salary 81
the first was then Sc 900 and that Of The
latter $4,000. When the first quarter
expired, the agent Of the State Depart
ment took him the salary attached 10 the
office he held in it, which he refused 10
accept, although earnestly urged TO do %.
He received The lower salary only, OBJ
serving that his conduct must be in such
matters above suspicion. Although then
poor, and pressed with debt, and poorer
TO the end Of his life, he never did receive
a cent Of this difference. After his death,
and upwards Of thirty years, it was allow
ed and paid TO his legal representatives.
