E3Something Rich IN the Wind.
In expectation Of the defamation at the Land Of
ce, there was an unusual degree Of clustering and
Irepldaton in that bureau this morning. Expectants
waiting in the passages, and fresh applicants in the
ante-chamber OF the active little Bob Walker. At
two O'Clock the only change of consequence was
that OF +. w. Thomas, author of Clinton Bradshaw
and other novels, and the notorious Beechen Tree
and other poems. Known to be decided and ac-
tive wing, il was his literary character and his lame
foot that saved him from an unqualified discharge.
As il is, he is removed from $500 clerkshp down
stairs into snug little place of $1,000 Upwards Of
twenty removals expected to-day; thirteen from re-
QUESTION Of law reducing the clerks in the Land
Office to sixty.
In the I'd Auditors office (War Department. in
addition to the removal of James Eakin, Chief
Clerk there have been removed since, r. M. Boyer,
$3.50; William Ford, $1,000; J. H. Polk, promoted
to Eakins place; c. WForrest in the place Of Boyer
}. w. Brown in place of Ford; Theodore O'Hara.
Brown, vice J. w Brown, promoted, Saml Lewis,

Lyler already officially buetined and HeraIded two
months ago. Henry F. Baker, removed from the
post office at Winchester, Va, for the accommoda-
ton Of John Wall, wing, has been reinstated, John
Wall having gone to the wall in his turn, according
to the doctrine OF rotation. And thus we go-and
thus the birds of prey, hanging around the Depart
ments like yuures on the chimney tops in the south
ern cities OF frosty morning-thus are they being
appeased. And we go for the rule of rotation. The
evils OF the system will be ultimately cured through
its own operation. We shall have more fun and
sport at the Presidential elections henceforwad and
the printers will reap largely of the benefits resulting
from more liberal expenditures of money.

a verse, and give il a sample Of the piece: =

After which crowd having been attracted nv the
MINISTRIES, the orator OF the day. savage looking

ing on rum and the hanging of McCurry at Balti-
more, and the suicide Of Van Buskrk, Secretary of
State OF Maryland, and other characters and crimes
connected with rum drinking. He was followed
by a pale, thin faced man, who gave the most hor-
rible experience of dram drinking, and then called
upon the people 70 sign the pledge, and one or two
