APPLICATIONS FOR OFFICEs-A RUSH FOR THE
SPoILs-JonN YOU'VE IN A PIcKLE.-We under
stand that there are no less than one thousand
applications for office to the Governor John
Young will have his hands full, and enough to
do, for the next six weeks. For the office Of
harbor master, alone, there are no fewer than one
hundred AID fifty applications, and seven only
can be appointed.
Without going into the natural history of ap-
plications for office, we have heard some
rious particulars about Harbor Masters.
1t is possible there may be among those appli-
cants, great experience in nautical affairs, so as
to make them fit to fill such post; but the pro-
liability is, that no such Ten can be appointed,
so long as the race of politicians exist and the
grog shops are open. John Young is good man,
but not much acquainted with the Law or prac-
tice of the political grog shops of this city; yet
we would not be at all surprised to see some
young or old chaps, who are better judges of
brandy than Of business, get the appointment
Oh, for a little of that clear water from the
spool o. Saloam!' Instead of making it grog,
as many oil these grog-shop applicants would do,
we would rub little of it over the eyes of John
Young, so as to enable him see into and scruti-
nize the characters Of those applicants If we
could accomplish this, we would take out pa
tent for this eye-water, and surpass even the
sarsaparila people themselves, all hollow, in
shouting its praises, and making 1t purify the
blood of politicians.

Such funds as have hitherto been paved to the

for the support of the American army.
Among other prohibitions, we notice that a

Inc lhtIlsueS OF foreign powers ana mOnar-
chies, are beginning to excite the suspicion of
the Mexican government, and silent measures
are being taken for counteracting and suppressing
these foes, which ere more dangerous, so far
the liberty of the republic is concerned, than
the foes with whom they are already at war.
The general government is said to be much
cramped for means with which to progress,
owing to the fact that the governments of the
States have refused to fulfil their promises of
aiding it with all the resources at their com.

PnFERING AND REPoRTTNe.-We call the at
tention of the proprietors of the Ne,c York Ear
press to their Washington letter. dated the llth
instant, and published on the 18th. This letter
is gross imposition upon them, the material
parts of it beng stolen from the Geographic
report of the Herald, procured at great expense,
and published the day before it appeared in the
Express.
We also call the attention of the proprietors of
the philadelphia Ledger to a similar infringe
ment of the rules OF honest men, perpetrated,
unknowingly, on them by their Washington
correspond mt. In the Ledger ofthe 18th inst,
letter dated Washington, the 10Th, appears, which
contains, word for word, taken from the Herald
Of the day before, a portion of Mr.. Johnson's
pesch in the Senate.
We do not charge the proprietors or principals
of either Of these journals with the despicabe
offence Of stealing the abors Of others, and pub
fishing them as their own but we uoequivocaly
do charge this offence on some of their cores
pondents, and are prepared 10 prove it by evil
dence that must carry home conviction to every
reasonable mind. should this be permitted by
respectable newspapers, in their correspondents :

PRoMENApING IN BRoADwAY-SABLEs, &C.
Broadway, in the winter season, presents, some
times, very splendid exhibition of splendid wo-
men, who dress beautifully, but not so well, in
comparison, as those of Paris, Vienna, or Lon
don.
In those rich and gay capitals, the ladies of
the highest rank and longest purses, whenever
they promenade, by stepping from their car
riages. exhibit some of the most beautiful Rus
sian sables, In the shape Of cloaks. There are,
to be sure, closks of this description here; but
there are no Russian sables-they are all Cana
dian, and not worth fifth part Of the money
generally charged for them. In Paris, at the
Champs Eiysses, on beautiful clear day in the
winter, the display of ladies in sable cloaks, is
beyond anything in the world. 1t seems the
Russians themselves 60 to Paris to procure those
cloaks The real sable skins come from Siberia to
Leipsic, and are purchased there by the Partisan
furriers, and prepared in Paris for ladies' wear.
One of the most splendid and elegant stores for
the sale of this description of goods in Paris, is
that of Messrs Humpf & Co., Rue de la Pair, a
short distance from the Bouleuards, and not tar
from the Place Vendohe Ladies in New York,
who wish to wear the real Russian sables, can
always procure them by sending to that house in
Paris-a firm composed of very honest and wor.
thy men, and in constant communication with
Leipsic and Siberia, from which places they pro-
cure those articles.

rsfss swiapi'ss ~ NEW yass fine ease az
t'c~srd, ihe writing master, wbo has bsea sen
fenced to the ranitentiary for swladllne Is by
no means solitary one. The city Of New York
abounds with petty swindlers, who carry on their
iniquities under various forms, and in various
ways. Flaming advertisements, offering the
poor and ignorant fortune for the trlfing sum
of fifty dollars-offering lucrative situations to
young men from the country for similar sum,
and situations to girls in respectable families
for dollar, or fifty cents, can be seen posted
about the streets, or published in the daily pa
pers-the sole purpose of which is to cheat, gull,
and defraud the ignorant and unwary. Men
have actually become rich by this petty system
of swindling; but occasionally they get tripped
up, and get punished as they deserve.
Thus, the other day, the psuedo principal of
commercial college in this city, was con-
ivicted and sent to the pententiary for de-
frauding young man of fifty dollars, under
the pretence of educating and fitting him
as a book-keeper, at railroad speed, to fill a
situation at lucrative salary. The public
have no idea of the extent to which the poor SER
want girls Of New York are defrauded by the
keepers of intelligence Offices, who are nothing
less than bare-faced swindlers on small scale;
albeit, some of them profess to be licensed by the
city authorities. They charge these poor crea-
lures a dollar, sometimes more, sometimes less,
for gettingthem places with respectable families,
as domestcs; and in nine cases out of ten, they
care nothing for the girls afterwards; but leave
them to get situations as they can.
This thing of educating young men in hurry,
and fitting them in a week, or two weeks, to
fill responsible and arduous situations, is the
sheerest humbug; and we call on ali young
men whose early education has been neglect
ed, to place no reliance in it. If they de-
sire to forward themselves, let them go to
work at home, under the guidance Of a
competent teacher, and slowly acquire know
ledge. They need not expect to be able in a
month, to accomplish what is the slow task of
years, although we do live in an age of railroads
and electricity Is there no way by which these
nuisances can be put down? Can we not get the
"banner" to work at them, in the way that
