The Ialnriui have been no small that men of reput:-lion and ability wuld not be induced to Ioaapt position! of this kind, and tho Gov- ernment was fumed to employ second and rhizti rum lncn. Under these circumatanoeu, the best thing that can be done in to dismiss the lacompcten‘ or diahonmi ofllclnls, appoint others in their ntaad. and pay them mlliciently romunerativu salaries to me.k-- honesty and efficiency ohiocu of importance. . Men worthy to ropmsanl. our country Abroad are also worthy of Doing well paid for doing tilch-duty, and such men can- uot be hlmd for tho tuful wagon now paid ltnwrican Consuls. long BI the mllefly policv now in vogue is continued, than in little hope of impntkemcnt in the foreign civil us:-vim. Incaompotamt man annot prop- arly perform consular duty, nnd competent ‘person: cannot be induced to undergo the In- bon and vuxxations of ofiioo without adnqune remuneration. So. instead of reforming the foreign erflloa-3 by I reduction of the nlariu of Counts and Forelg'%{in.in¢\n, it is more likoiy that the lncaaum will tend uni further to the datorioretion of our om-‘rim abroad, and it in medias: to any that, at present, this in but enough. without being Imdx: «one by in- juticloua uloddllng. The aztimaity of the oommlttoe, while pretty generally dixtflhutcd over the whole forolgn scrvlce, seems to be directed with pa- cullar virulence to the very turtcr in which it will do us moot age. While the Foreign Ministries nnd Consulnteu in Europa nnd many other portions of the unit are to be left unchanged, those in South America, China and Japan are in some cases to be totally abolished; in othena. u-rural Am to be consolidated in nun, in order at oncotorcduce the mxxnbc: and the expense. It in objected that mucifmoro is paid out for these foreign ofliccl than is brought in by aflieial fwa. \V'hll0 this may be true, it II also I lad that other countries which expend much larger sum: for their foreign services, receive an MN equatn return in the largely increased trsda. (lreat Britain. for example, expend: nearly are times the amount for Consult‘ uinricn in China that we do, and has built up a trade of huge pruponiom. Bo, es-cu in tho mom matter of dollar: uzd cents, M: an loan‘: by thin putt-y atlhginesa. In South and Central Aim-rlca, the conse- quences ad mdnstion and nhollilun or consoli- dation will be still more deplorable. We have Lbotfnrrighttabelookctiup to bythe Na- tion of this oonttncni than: any other power on the globe, but we can hope to liocum and mtnlzl an infiucncc among Central and South American Btntca only through an Able and in- dustrious set of foreign ottiecn. Not many years will ciapna bdrm: the [rude of the 3panlxh- American Binicn will be nxoeedlngiy largo and very nluable, and, if propel’. of- it rvyrcscms mcmly the § forth worn made by Influential Consul: and Mlninten, nrarly the Whole of lhil grout Lt!!- ilc would pass Illrough our ports.
