NJ. Roustan, the Envoy Extraordinary and Min
lister Flenpotentlary Of the French Republic
TO the United States. was last week appointed
Political Governor OF Tuns in place Of NJ. Paul Cam
bon. This Ia very handsome and valuable recog.
milton OF this gentleman's diplomatic ability and
knowledge OF Oriental manners and customs Tunis,
though ostensibly tributary province OF the OTTO
man Empire, Is really an annexed dependency OF
France, and one Of the most important Of that ma
tons North African possessions. II was there
while Consul General Of France that NJ. Roustan
made the treaty with the Boy Of Tunis, which nxed
the French domination upon firm and lasting
basls, and as reward fot his eminent services to
his country In this negotiation NJ. Rctstat was pro-
noted from the rank Of Consul General 10 that Of Min
lister Of the frat class. Soce,y IN Washington will
regret 10 lose this clever, courteous, atid accom-.
plishcd gentleman, but his promotion will he appre-
clated nowhere more thoroughly than here, where
he has become such fsvorie socially ns well Ms In
his oGclal relations. learn that his contreres, II
opportunity favors, are contemplating banquet In
his honor slight token Of their high appreciation
and esteem Certainly no representative OF our
sister Republic has stood higher with our Govern
ment, us well as his colleagues, than NJ. Roustan.

taInly order things better In England than In the
American Republic. Though members Of Parlia-
ment receive no salaries, and are usually at an ex-
pcnse Of from SEQ 900 to five times that sum In max
Ing a canvass, yet when they attain the higher de-
grecs Of onirial dignity they are paid better than any

net of,cers are 900 per annum and Inc work 10
continuous during their terms In England 1t is diff
ferent While the Cabinet Ministers are always
supposed to be on duty, their work Ia really during
| the sessions OF Parliament. After that, leaving
| the business to under secretaries, they-as Mr..
Greeley used to say" go adshing," or amuse them
selves In any way they may see ut.
But as to salaries, English Cabinet Ministers are
| paid with liberaty that would cause the watch
dogs Of the Treasury here TO shrek themselves into
tantrums at the bare thought Of 1t. The Prime Min
lister and Foreign Secretary, Lord Salisbury, gets
$4,000 per annun, and has contingent fund OF
100000 besides, which he uses precisely as he likes
accounting to no one for his disbursements. Sir
Stafford Northcoe, (recenily raised TO the Peerage
under the title of Lord ddesleigh, who Ia First Lord
Of the Treasury-a place corresponding very nearly
TO Secretary Of the Treasury-receives $4,000.
