FOREIGN LEGATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES. [From the Register of the Department of State, December, 1879.] UNITED STATES CONSULAR SERVICE. THE following table includes all consuls, consuls-general, and commercial agents of the United States, the amount of whose compensation reaches $1,000, or upwards, annually. By the act of June 1st, 1874, the salaried consulates are divided into seven classes, besides other subdivisions, with specific fixed salaries for each, as follows: By law, all consuls receiving a fixed salary are required to pay into the Treasury, without reduction, all fees received by virtue of their offices. At other consulates and consular agencies the fees collected form the sole compensation of the incumbent, which, however, is limited in the case of consular agents to a maximum of $1,000, and such agents are usually allowed to transact business. Consuls whose salaries do not exceed $1,500, and from whose consulates without the agencies fees are paid into the Treasury to the amount of $3,000 a year, are compensated at $2,000 a year. The compensation of the feed consuls is limited to $2,500. If the fees exceed that sum, such consuls can pay clerk-hire from the fees received at the consulate when specially authorized, but not otherwise. The column of fees shows the amount of fees received at each consulate and agency from which returns have been made for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1879.
