New York, Saturday, June 10. is4s.


AS the day appointed for the installation OF
Mr.. Maxwell, the new Collector of this port,
approaches, the excitement increases among
the ofIice-holders in the Custom House, and the
Office. beegars, who are boring the new Collec-
tor 10 death for the privilege OF serving their
country in that beautiful building, at the rate of
three dollars day and drinks. Indeed, the rush
for office is greater than il ever was-so greatsthat
a stranger to our institutions might reasonably
imagine that we are nation OF oflice-beggars;
one-half of the population living in clover while
their party are in power, and the other sucking
their paws, as bears do in winter, eagerly awaiting
a revolution in the wheel OF politics for dive into
the public crib.
But not only does the excitement Of the Office
seekers increase, but their number augments at a
fearful and alarming rate. We are credibly IN
formed that upwards of four thousand applications
for office have been forwarded to the newly ap-
pointed dispenser of patronage in the CustomHoase,
each line of which the new Collector is expected
to read, and the owners of all of which count with
confidence upon being appointed to some handsome
post. The expectations and aspirations of some
of the applicants are ludicrous enough. Men who
know themselves to be incompetent to perform
the duties for any office requiring even mediocre
capacity strike tor posts that require business tact
and ability OF high order. But the modern race
of sffice-seekers care nothing for this. All they
think of Is the monthly salary and let the duties
take care of themselves. There are three hundred
and twenty eight offices in all, in the New York
Custom House; and for the information, and salts
faction, and consolation of the thousands of pa
triotic gentlemen who aspire to the possession of
them and the salaries attached to them, we lay
the whole list before them. Here 1t ISL
