Republican Patriotism.

The scramble for Office in Washington is in.
tense To illustrate the disnterested patriotism
of the Republican party, we quote from Repub-
lcsn authority. The Washington dispatches of
the Cincinnati Gazette say:
No CABINET officer is bored more than Secre-
tary Chase AT the Treasury Department to -dav
he had five clerks who did nothing else but re-
ceive and file applications for Office. They merely
had time to glance at them. Such rush on this
Office never equalled before. A large po-
portion of the applications come from the West
From present appearances, just about one in fifty
will succeed. 1t is, of course, physical impos-
sibiiity for the Secretary to give more than lit
tic attention to these numerous applications
The Commercially dispatches are little more
emphatic in condemnation of the Republican
greed for spoils. They say:
The scramble for the best places in the Govern
ment seems paramount to the vital question
whether we have Government, after all MANY.
perhaps most, of the Republicans here, after the
first blush of astonishment and humiliation at
this contemplated step, have turned to finding jus
tacations for 1t in military necessity, the state of
the country, ETC. Some, however, continue to
denounce it as not only unnecessary, but in the
highest degree cowardly Old Ben Wade saws he
never much believed in total depravity, but in
these apostate times he begins to think it is true
and that the Republican party will furnish a
striking illustration of il, being likely to be
| damned before it is fairly born. On the other
hand, staunch Republicans say that the abandon
ment of Fort Sumter will be accompanied by the
re enforcement of Fort Pickens, and naval
blockade of Southern po-.s to collect the revenues
of the Government.

NORTHERN SHIPS AND CREws FoR SOUTHERN
PRIvATEERISG.-SOme time ago the New Orleans
Crescent advocated the issuing Of letters Of
marque and reprisal against Northern ocean and
other commerce, and the matter has been dis
cussed in the Congress of the Southern Con
fedeTaey. Ii has been suggested that proper
vessels for this service not be easilysobtaned
but that difficulty, il appears, can be remidied
very easily, a number of Northern ship owners
having offered 20 furnish vessels, ornaments and
crews gratis-sailing papers only being required.
In other words, there are TO be found men in the
Northern States who viii, in view of the money
TO be made out of the operation, engage IN the
obstruction of their neighbors' ships and the ION
fscation oftheir goods. At the first view this
seems grossly improbable; but when we reflect
that for many years slave ships have been fitted
out almost exclusively from Northern ports il is
not altogether unlikely that the Abolitonists
would 60 step farther. and turn a penny or
two by plundering honest traders on the sea.

Where Is the Revenue To Come From!
We copy this morning suggestive article from
the New York EUening Post, Republican, stating
the difficulties that will attend the Government
in raising sufficient revenue from impost duties
for its support. The low tariff of the Southern
Confederacy, and the high and bungling tariff
adopted by the Republican Congress must com
plicate the difficulties and embarrassments of the
Administration at Washington. 1t seems inevi
table that the revenues Of the Government must
be materially diminished while its expenses will
be largely increased. if the attempt is made to
blockade the ports Of the seeding States. Mr..
LlSeoLS and the Republican party will find that
il IS an easier task to obtain possession of the
Government, than TO successfully administer it
when IN power.
