taken and Infatuated countrymen.
Meetings of Indignation were held.
Washington, his services in the revolu-
ton for the moment forgotten, was
threatened with impeachment.
You are treacherous in private
friendship and are a hypocrite in pub
lic," Thomas Paine had the audacity
to say in a letter to Washington. The
world will be puzzled to decide he
continued, whether you are an apos-
tate or an impostor; whether you have
abandoned good principles. or whether
you ever had any"
1t was at this time that Washington
cried out: II would rather be in my
grave than in the presidency"
Having turned Timothy Pickering out

Marshall to the chief post in his cabi-
net. Adams at the very end of his ad-
ministration made Marshall the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court. Mar
shall was asked, however, to remain
in the cabinet until Adams went out Of
Office.
A picture, drawn by James Parton,
shows Marshall, on the night of March
3, 1901, busily writing out commissions
for several United States judges whom
Adams had appointed under law just
passed by Congress. Levi Lincoln, so
Parton says, who was to be Jefferson's
Secretary of State for few days and
until James Madison could bury his
father, walked in upon Marshall at 8
o'clock.

State,". Lincoln told Marshall, land am

must be put in motion to ascertain the

Furthermore, "if a citizen of the
United States is arrested abroad and

ton, ascertain the facts and make the
necessary representation for the pro-

And meanwhile the Secretary OF
State sits next to the President at
meetings of the cabinet and outranks
all of the other secretaries. If the
President and Vice President are re-
moved from Office, die. resign or. for
any other cause, are incapable of serv-

James Madison. James Monroe. John

James Buchanan, all Secretaries of
State, were elected to the presidency.
Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John c.

president of Harvard College Thomas
Pickering was admitted to the bar but
went off to the revolutionary war before
he had an opportunity to practice. Aft
erward he was a commission merchant
in Philadelphia and farmer in western
Pennsylvania.
John Hay. though a lawyer, always
called himself an author. Immediately
after his admission to the bar in Illi-
nois he came to Washington as one of
friends will say that Blaine, Sherman
and Bryan were eminent as legal ad-
vocates or cOunSelorS.
More than one Secretary of State has

turned out of office. however. because
in one of his numerous controversies
with public man he gave publicity
to matter of foreign business.
The committee was instructed by
Congress to keep the American agents

Informed about the progress of the
war and other events in this country.
1t seems to have failed in performing
any real service of value and was
superseded by the Department of For
eign affairs, the name being afterward
changed to the Department of State.
Correspondence with the European
agents was carried on in cipher and
often with invisible ink. Ordinarily
seven copies of letter would be made
and sent abroad by as many messen-
gers travelling on several ships. On
each envelope was written the warn
ing: ITO be sunk in case of danger
from the enemy. 1t is known that
some of the letters were captured by
the British.
Two rooms were occupied by the
Department of Foreign Affairs. The

A GOOD story is told of King Victor
81 Emmanuel's zeal for efficiency
Some years ago his minister of for
eign affairs. Signor Prinetti, asked his
majesty to sign a decree for the aug
mentation Of the staff Of the foreign
Office. The king promised to think the
matter over, and the next morning set
out alone on foot to pay a visit to the
Office. Arriving at o'clock, he found
no one there. A long search unearthed
a solitary clerk, who was smoking
cigarettes.
What are the hours of this Office"
asked the king.
From to 12," was the reply.
And when may 1 expect to see your
colleagues?"
They generally turn up about H."
Very Well. When your chief comes,
tell him the king has been here"
And then his majesty sent for Signor
Prinetti and suggested that instead Of
asking for more clerks he should make
it his business to see that those already
on the staff attended to their duties.
