APPLICANTS FOR EMPLOYMENT
There are more than FIVE thousand applica-
tions on file for situations in the Treasury De-
partment and this number is increased from
day to day. Many of them are from dis
charged soldiers The past weeks list shows
thirteen applications from colored men lately
in the military service. The number of wo-
men seeking employment in that department
is very large. Recommendations seem to be
of easy procurement. The other departments
are similarly besieged for like favors.
THE DEPARTMENT REPORTS.
The annual report of the Secretary of the
Navy is nearly printed. 1t is always the FIRST
given to the public printer Some of the re-
ports of the Bureaus connected with the
Treasury, Postoffice and Interior Departments
are also in print. The manuscript of the
other reports is not yet completed.
GOLD CERTIFICATES.
| The Treasury Department has just printed
| thirty-seven million dollars worth of gold GER
| tifcates, which are to be sent to the proper
officers, as occasion may demand.
| THE MEXICAN QUESTION.
| Washington, Nov. 1.-THE chief topic of
conversation among politicians continues to be
the sending of Gen. Logan to the Juarez Gov
eminent in Mexico. He has all along back in
his electioneering speeches denounced the
| Maximilion occupation in immeasured terms
and has said that Max. "must get out of
there" Gen. Grant, who is candidate for
the Presidency, and is supported by a very
formidable "ring" of military chiefs and poll
ticians in the Northwest, has often, of late, in
private communications, spoken in like man
ner. We certainly have army enough, (about
200, O0O,) with no end of material of war in de-
potts. for the purpose of war. If hostlities en-
sue in Mexico Napoleon will find the popula-
ton of the country against him, as was that
of Old Spain against Bonaparte, and he will
be further from his base of supplies. He has,
however, large navy for base and it must
be acknowledged that the laying up of SO
many of our vessels, and the discharge of the
excess of officers and crews, don't look much
as if war was apprehended.
have reason to believe that the war De-
partment will back Gen Baker, its chief de-
tective, in the trial impending upon indict-
ments in our courts.
Mr. Crawford, of Georgia, who was one of tho
Southern commissioners of this Government
pending the breaking out of the rebellion, is
here.
1t is stated in republican quarters that the
President has given orders that detectives shall
be no longer about the White House.
| The cunard about freedmen's distresses and
privations at this point is exposed to-day by
statement from the Freedmens Bureau.
| Brig. Gen. Frank Fessenden has been APP
pointed Major General of volunteers.
| 1t is said that there are immense "rings" in
attendance upon Government sales, and that
transfers among themselves and outsiders are
made upon schedule.
