THAT OLD WHITE HAT.-Captain Great
6ouse. OF excellent memory, was known by
dis old white hat, and so identified were the
two that up to the time of the last national
election a white hat meant the master OF the
coast steamboat st. John. Between the
ohimneys of this vessel was suspended an
eIephantine white hat, aud all river men
knew the boat by that token, even in a thick
fog. After the presidential campaign Mr..
S. n. Burbank purchased the great pole at
the wigwam corner OF Carondelet and
Delord streets and then presented the great
hat to Captain Greathouse, tor his lew
steamer. but the Captain died before the
present was ready for him. However; Mr.
Burbank persisted in his intention, and now
the chapeau swings between the chlmneys
of the steamer b. l.. Hodge, reminder OF
good man who has gone from among us for
ever. Such little incidents are not much IN
themselves as daily occurrences, put wheh
tbe Interested parties think of this small
episode they will be the better for 1t now
and in times to come.

The enInry Oue.,ion.

EDrToR REPUBLICAN; So many have taken up
unprofessional quis on either side Of the clerks
salary question that It seems almost a waste Of
your space to continue a subject very nearly
written out. "Alfred' has been used up, and q
Business Man" Ia evidently out Of his line Of
trade.
I think express the opinion Of the faithful,
competent clerks wien I say they would be sat
lsned II the salaries were properly adjusted from
1000 down. Any one, II deslroua, can ascertain
that, because clerk receives o. 800 or $1,000, II
does not certainly follow that his duties are more
onerOus or intricate than arc performed by one
receiving tl,9O0, and some few, In at least one
ONCE, only fT2O per annum.
In the Third Auditors once fi 200 clerks arc
engaged In the settlement Of accounts Involving
millions OF money, requiring thorough knOwl-
| edge Of army regulations and departmental de-
Clslons, aud u the work Is properly performed
| they earn much more than they receive. II
| promoted they remain at the same desk-ti, 600
| and 81, 300 clerks work side by side on the same
class Of accounts. Again, In many Of the bureaus
In all the Departments, the higher salaries are
| whole system needs reorganization. There Is no
| reason also why the ladies' who perform the
same work as gentlemen should receive less pay,
| even though they may not be able to answer
| some questions which man may have added to
| his stock OF knowledge In his excursions around
| the world. Fidelity to duty and competency In
! Its discharge should be the test TO regulate COM
| knowledge OF chiefs OF divisions to know who
| comprise this class. But then we launch into
the question OF "fAyorttes," and the whole thing

and wisdom Of manhood. Il. A. W.

The committee appointed by the House a few
days since to investigate the relations which
may have existed between the credit moblller
organization and the Union Pacific railroad, Of
which Mr.. Wilson, Of Indiana, Is chairman, met
yesterday, and after organization and discussion
OF the resolution under which they were APP
pointed, decided that additional authority was
required by them before they could proceed to
the execution Of their duties. Mr.. Wilson was
consequently authorized 10 ask the Houses for
power TO inquire whether any persons or cor-
pOratiOns have received moneys, bonds or other
property from the Union Pacldc railroad or It's
officers, or otherwise, which ought In law or
equity to be accounted for to said company or
applied TO the reimbursement Of the United
states for any claim against said company, and
what action should he had In the premises. The
House granted the request, and the committee
will now proceed without delay with the investi-
CATION.
II will bc seen from the foregoing that the
duties Of the committee dliTor from the one Of
which Mr.. Poland ls chairman, as II ts intended
TO investigate any frauds that may have been
perpetrated by the credit moblller corporation,
while Mr.. POlands committee will conflne its
inquiries TO the allegations OF bribery against
members OF Congress- Tbs two committees will
doubtless take great deal OF evidence Of sim-
liar character; but, 50 far as the direct interests
Of the Government are concerned, Mr. Wilson's
committee will develop the most important
