The clsas Of the 9th Auditors OfheC
have presented Mr., Walker their late Au
ditor with rich copy of Tennyson illus
Jitratqd by pore, with the usual remarks
of esteem, ,etc., and return thanks, etc
There is ss,pt one part sincerity to nine
parts humbug in these affairs generally
Some fellow, perhaps chief clerk, who has
/, This own pirate purposes toset@oAper-
haps favorsto repay, or it may be, rea
friendly feeling to gratify-sets the mat 1
ter in motion. A subscription paper Is
sent round among the clerks. Now and
then one viii feel sincere desire to con.
tribute to .token of esteem and regard
\ but generally the dollar, or whatever sum,
is contributed as a cheap mode OF saving
/ himself from disfavor in quarters where
dislavot may do him harm or because he
is afraid reftEal will be thought stingy
The practice Is all wrong. Mr.. Walker,
for example, vas no more deserving of the
Authorship han any good clerk he had
in the bureau Under Secretary Chase Le
was a clerk Esnself; and because he had
..tsst,ne " q l.. a., II 49,, i
come personally known to Secretary Chase
and his family, he was made Auditor, and
has been Auditor all these years, while
his equals have remained clerks at hall
his salary. Ia his reply to the clerks he
expressed his warm personal regard Tor
them, and his gratitude to them Tor their
uniformly faithful discharge Of their du-
ties. But he did no more. Then Why
should the clerks do more2 Is not an
Auditor paid as well for faithful dis
charge of his lighter duties at $4,000, as
the clerks for the faithful discharge OF
their more laborious and perplexing du-
tics at IN average of less than 81 800?
