Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune
WASHINGTON CITY, Tuesday, May 81, 1883.
A reform in the management of the Smithsonian In
stitute is absolutely necessary Already il has to
be little than grazing ground for parties anxious
20 fix themselves in life estates at the public expense
Except the annual Of lectures delivered there
and the occasional publication of something to
gerify somebody connected with its management il is
never heard Of here As for the lectures they are
general thing incomparaby inferior TO those delivered
by scores Of smart menin NewYork. Old Mrs. Willard,
OF Troy, the school marin of ancient times, you will rec
olect was one OF the lecturers Of this Institute. They
have museum which nobody sees though Dir. Baird is
paid $4,000 per annum for looking after it. Their libra
~ Low consists Of 1000 volumes, and many PAM
pets which under the charge of Professor Jewet,
who is paid $4,000 per anDum. No one is allowed to
take out book and the library hall is relgOusy closed
at all hours when the OF the reading public of
WashiDgtsn-the Government employ6s-might by any
possible chance be able to attend. As for Professor
Henry, the head man of the establishment, if Congress
fail at the next session to have him hoped by statute,
his increasing consequence will probably him to
burst Next winter vigorous effort will be made by the
Young men Of Washington who far desire in vain to
avail themselves of the advantages this Institute might
afford to induce Congress to teach its managers that
they are paid for purposes other than them in
tie ment Of siDecures So tar as any public good
flowing from their enjoyment Of large salaries is
ceIned literally nothing has resulted from John Smith
sons liberalty.
The Secretary of the Treasury has decided to dsa
gree from the Circular Of Dir. Controller Whtesey
bearing date March 10 last, wherein that officer lays
down the Departments construction Of the law of Feb
mary last regulating the fees costs &C. payable here
after TO L. s. Marshals and District Attorneys He is
believed to demur from the Controllers views upon the
allowances to which the Attorneys entitled under the
law, being disposed to consrue strictly, though
the Controller in his construction stringent TO
cause immense squealng among that class OF Govern
ment employees. The Secretary has directed the prep
aration of circular wherein he calls the lawyers who
are Immediately interested to favor him with their views
relative to the aOwanceswhch should be made to them
He will find their views essentially if not amusingy diff
erent from his own take it.
