The New-York Office-Seekera I'm Albany
Judge of the Third District, sc. sc.

! ALBANY, Jaunary IS. 1884,
There is very active strife among your Lobby
Representatives here, for the sundry fat Offices
within the gift of the ''Old White Horse
brief notice of the applicants, in advance OF tie
partition NAV not be out of place.
There is no mistake but that CHARLES P. DA-
ry is to wear the ermne which now graces the
shoulders of Judge INGLIs. He will probably re-
ceivc the appointment this week-certalnly, |
think. before the close Of the next He is a wor-
tby recipient, and, as Loco must have it, it is
thus we'll disposed Then comes the fat berth Of
Master in Chancerv for which Mr.. WILLIAM
McMuRRAY has been dancing attendance for some
time You know that it was said that it was
Mr. Mem. who disposed of your Flour Inspector
ship last winter. How this was, cannot Ger
tainnly affirm. This only know The gallant
Mr.. McMrRRAY was dstressinglv conspicuous IN
his attentions to the beautiful Miss BoucK, and
bv wonderful coincidence, Mr.. McM.'s candid
ate though scarcely named among the Legion Of
applicants, receired the appointment Equally
successful has the young hero of the Assembly
been in his present application. The office of
Master in Chanccry has been promised, and will
be given.
WILLINGNESS to illuminate the bench, from which
formerly scintlated the brilliant rays OF Senator
ScorT's great mind He wants to DC Judge OF
the Marine Court, and as no one else cares SIN
pence about it, he will doubtless be gratlhed.
Next comes the fat office of Surrogate, and
for this the pulling and hauling is caution to

The list of candidates on hand is formidable
~ ,f,aot
Then JOHN R. and CHAs. L. LIVINGSTON are each
willing to serve the State in that self-denylng
CAPACITY. Then comes Mr. M'VEAN, and close
upon his heels, JOSEPH C. HART, the peculiar
friend and boon companion Of SLAMM, and bro
ther of your late rather celebrated Sheriff. SLAMM
has been here for a week, pressing the claims Of
HART with dogged perseverance. tic IS lnde-
fatirabe, leaving no stone unturned for his dear
friend. and the Schohare Farmer" scarce finds
time TO masticatc his sourkrout. am unable to
predict who Will be the successful applicant Tor
this season Gov. BoucK has candidate OF his
own, and that is no less parsonage than the
favored JoHH w. EDMoNDs. Why, then, you
NAV ask, does he not nominate HIM at once?
Why, unfortunately, the pecunary relations of
the lavorite arc such. that Gov. BoUcK dGre not
take the responsibility of conlcrrlng so important
a trust upon him. He has been tincSsing with
all the art at his command, TO induce the New
! York Assembly Delegation to back up EDMoNDs,
but not soul OF them will do It. Hence the
matter remains in Statu quo at present. Whether
in the - tickle me. and I'll tickle you' tactics
now in vogue the Delegation may be induced to
accedc to the Governors wishes. remains for the
future to develope. If not, you need not be sur
| prscd If SLAMMs pertlnacltY and threats should
! carry the day. But | cannot bring myself even
to contemplate such picture!
Then comes the strife for the vacant Port-ward-
enship. The applicants are the celebrated Capt
GLOVER, WANDELI, and Mr.. HALL. Capt
GLOVER was carrying everything before him,
until, unfortunately for him, he was too consplcu-
Gus at the Grand Cotillion Party at Congress
Hall on Tuesday last My radical friend --,
SAYS that he danced himself entirely out Of the
question AS between the other two, it is proba-
blv the toss Of a copper, or little soft sawdenng
of the Private Secretary, may decide the ques-
ton. Capt GLOVER will be careful not to dance
| so hard next time.
HENRY C. R1ELI. who was appointed Wegher
General Of Merchandise last winter, to console
him for the loss of a fatter Office, has made his
appearance in the Third House. As an evidence
of his popularity, it will be sufficient to notice
the fact, that simultaneous with his appearance,
there also arrived petition from more than oh|
thousand Of the chief business men oi your city,
to throw open the business of weighing to all
men of good character-n other words, to abol-
ish the Office. Mr.. r. will be compelled to work
very hard indeed to prevent the passage of such
| a law.
There is great feeling in our city in relation to
the appointment Of Surrogate Of this County |
recently gave YOU list Of candidates. The
Governor Yesterday nominated ANTHONY BLAN
cHARD, the former incumbent, whereat the Barn
burners" are raving mad, and Justly, too. The
friends Of LITCHFIELD were not loading the Cover
nor with compliments to-day. For one, should
like to see the nomination rejected, but OF this,
there is little or no probability.
Y on are probably aware that there is soon to be
vacancy in the office ofJudge of this thc third
Circuit, Judge CusHMAN having arrived at the
constitutional limlt-60 years of age. The appli-
cants are AMAsA J. PARKER of Delaware and
RUFUS w. PEcKHAM of this city. In addition
to these, large number of the bar have presented
the name of john VAN buren, of the Blood Royal.
| have understood that he is not willing to take
the ofice-prohably looking to Cabinet situa-
ton when his Royal Father shall be restored to
the throne of the Bourbons! Should he press his
claims, do not see how they can consistently
be got round, although the Prince ranks as a
Barnburncr. The sage of Lindenwald is in the
the city, Ostensibty for the purpose of attending
the State Agricultural Society. Perhaps that
was the true and only reason. AS between the
first two candidates, PARKER claims it in honor
and payment of the unhinching services of Old
Delaware in The Regency ranks. On the other
hand PEcKHAM is an "Old Hunker'' of the
rankest sort, andis favored by the old Regency
