| Hope don't intrude in popping a few perti-
nent questions, after the fashion following:
l.. Has any Cabinet Minister recently for
gotten that he was an American gentleman, and
behaved like an unreined boor to respectable
married lady who had called at his residence,
after he had dined, to present letters to him
Did the following dialogue occur on the occa-
sion? a t-.aag g ts,l, ...e ~
Gentleman. =" Well, madam, do you want to
see me 2" d 9'ia Hq eAG
Lady," Yes, sir, have called to hand to you
some letters which have tried in vain, for five
days in succession, to get your messenger to
take IN you at your Department" .,l .z~r
II Genttemdn. -" Madam, don't you know that i
receive no persons on business at my house?' 4
Lady. ~" No, sir, have not, been SO in
formed" ~ a.s.. tf @ .t
Gentleman. Well, will not read nor re
ceiye your letters. Y sAt t ,72 as.f ad
Lady. .--" Very well, sir they are such as
you asked me to get and bring to you, some
time ago. 1t will make no difference if you do
not read them. l thought was calling upon
gentleman, but L find was mistaken, and
therefore take my leave" 'iaa
2. Is there an ex-member of Congress or an
exchange d. d'Affaires, and now o claim agent,
who sits dnd writes, and sees and hears, in the
room of a head Of a bureau, and has such con.
troll, by some mysterious means, over the sale
head Of a bureau as to cause such claims as h,
chooses TO be passed, and such as he chooses I,
be held up, or rejected? Is there any genera
complaint about such parsonage? Does any
body know of a claim agent who could no
get claim of $4,000, more or less, allowed
until he engaged the cooperation of the sitting
writing, seeing and hearing agent referred to
| If there be any head of q bureau who has 4
lean to such an extent upon the wisdom an
judgment and disinterestedness of such friend
had not such head of a bureau better yield u
his post altogether to his valuable claim-agen
friend?
| 3. Can anybody tell whether there are an,
heads of cabinet stations who are really anxious
to be run for President or Vice President? Il
so, how many are there? ,71
T. Can anybody decide whether there are
any heads of bureaus who are cautiously pre-
pairing the way to hold orer under the next ad-
ministration, if it should prove Democraic2 2 II
SO, how many are there, and what are their
chances for holding ouer in the event anticipated
Z 5. Can anybody tell how many heads of bu-
reaus there are who are processing to be Fill
more men, and yet are secretly and heartily
doing all that they can to advance the cause Of
General Scott ,.as
6. Was there not a pretty considerable fare
up in the Office Of the Commissioner Of Pensions
two or three days since?
Z. Was there not strong question of veracity
raised, and did not gallant Kentuckian come
off with flying colors on the occasion
