Female Applicants for Omce.


1t is astonishing to witness the great
number of females who visit the different
departments of Government for the pur-
pose of having their relatives retained in
or appointed to office. Having occasion
to visit one of the Departments this morn
ing. we saw no less than eight Of these
female applicants. Such a pursuit on the
part of those who desire to be looked up
on as ladies, is truly humiliating; it is a
disgrace to the sex; and we have an utter
contempt for the man who will suffer his
mother, wife, daughter or sister to un-
woman herself, by seeking an audience
with the appointing power ard by her
tears or charms be instrumental in hav-
ing him appointed to office or kept in the
one be holds. We say we have an utter
contempt for such man, and look upon
him as creature wholly lost to every
manly sentiment. If we were Secreta-
ry we should look upon the man who suf-
fers lady to intercede for him, as in
competent to fill place of public trust.

he now is. But this it seems was not all
the punishment inflicted upon this un-
happy man-one half his miserable pitt
tiance of s. per month was also stopped
by the same arbitrary command. There
was, we learn, at this moment, shut up
in the miserable little guard room, "a
place some ten feet square, with small
loop-hole of window for ventilation and
light some Is or 90 prisoners, a number
of which have 81 pound balls and chains
attached to their legs. The door of this
prison house is kept double-locked, and
the rays of the scorching sun, with the
confined and heated atmosphere of the
room produces the most intense suffering
among the unfortunate men thus confined.
and generally ends in sending them to the
hospital. We hope those i'll authority
will make inquiries into this matter
1t would be we'll if Gen. Pierce called
the officers of Fort McHenry to an &C

fered in free country.
The Sun talks about (" the delicate
touch of British royalty" from which we
take the following:
s.Of late the Cape of Good-Hope has
yielded it's testimony to the delicate
touch of British power: and to that gentle
touch the Kaffirs have been made obedient.
The one public instance in which England
has applied the processes Of her gentle
ness to the barbarians in question, these
very Chinese, is yet familiar to most of
us, and late history to all. Her delicacy
was Numbered from the lannon's mouth,
and for purpose as sordid, and for mo-
tives as corrupt as ever moved the high
wayman to the practice of his gentle yir-
tues on Hounslow Heath,
eff thus gentle with barbarians,"
how has she been with civilized people.
who at any time have been subject to her
power? The written history of the Amer
lean Colonies, and the severe truths in
scribed upon the imperishable page of the
Declaration Of independence ofthe United
States, record the .feroeity of that "sub-
tlety and tact OF which she boasts, but
which was signally rebuked and punished
in the war of the revolution, and the re-
demption of this glorious country from
her perfidious hand.
And what report has Ireland to make
in response to the glorification and COM
placency of the Times! 1t is enough to
put the question. There, under British
ascendancy, with all it's gcntleness, dis
affected, wretched, starving people have
staggered on from year to year in igno-
rance and wo, until at length, as to
door Of hope in the valley of Achor, they
have turned their faces hitherward and
fled their native land"

The news from Turkey is all that we
have of interest.
Advices from Constantinople to the

the ambassadors of the four great powers
a note explaining the measures taken to
maintain the integrity Of her territories,
and declaring firmly that any arrange
ment with Russia is out of the question
while that power persists in her exorbi-
tant demands. On the 28th the French
minister gave Reschid Pasha the formal
assurance of the support of the French
government; and Lord Stratford Radcliffe
was to have had an audience ON the I'd of
June, for the purpose of giving similar
assurance on the part of England.
The Russian fleet at Sebastopel consists

At the arsenal, IL corvettes and several
frigates were being armed to be ready by

fiat boats were employed constantly in
transporting artillery and ammunition to
the fleet and citadel on the Bosphorus.-
The militia are pouring in from all quar-
tiers, and the troops were to be reviewed
by the Sultan on the 3Oth.
Business at Constantinople was dull,
owing to the scarcity of vessels; but there
was not much panic.

Pontoon Brigade, had arrived at Renja,

Postal Reform.

Ever since the commencement of our
paper We have steadily advocated the
reform that has so long been needed in
the administration of the affairs of the
Post office of our city. We are. gra,ifed
to learn that arrangements are now in
progress for the better accommodation of
the people. The Postmaster, Col. Ber-
rett, is certainly entitled t. credit for his
enlargement of the Post office building.
1t is the very thing that is demanded by
the wants Of the public.
On visiting the Post Office last Saturday,
we observed with pleasure that the work
of reform had actually begun. Walls are
being demolished, partitions removed roofs
taken off, and every prospect exists for a
thorough renovation. A much larger
space and new boxes will be furnished
for the delivery of letters, while the front
of the building will be improved in it's
appearance.
There is every reason to believe that
the wish long ago expressed in the Star
will be realized, and the Washington city
Post office become the pattern one of the
country.
