THE DIRECTORSHIP OF SURVEYS.

A LIVELY OPPOSITION TO THE CONFIRMATION OF
CLARENCE KING-oNE STORY WHICH HAS so
FOUNDATION.
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THR TRIBUNE.i
WAeHNGToN, March 30.-The opposition to the
confirmation of Clarence King as Director Of the
Geographical Surveys, is becoming more earnest and
active. Among other allegations TO the discredit of
Nj. King, the facts pointed TO that his name has
been BONE on the rolls of The Interior De-
pariment with a salary OF $500 per month
fer several years since his active wor, in the field
was finished. The inference is drawn that he has
performed no service for the money paid him.
The fact is that Only y small portion
Of the result Of llr. Kings surveys was
published during tie time in which he was engaged
in active field-work. Since that time several
quarto volumes have been prepared under his dl-
lection and published. When the last; volume
came out, the chief of Engineers and Uthcr War
Department officials paid high compliments TO Mr..
King for the thOTOuCiuess and value OF ms work.
These facts arc sufficient to show that Mr. Kings
time has been fully and prOItably employed since
he completed his field work.
