Editors Journal;
The Teuure-of. Office difficulty hav-
ing been settled to the mutual salts
faction Git is presumably of the con-
tending parties, nominations and con-
firmations follow each other in rapid
succession. The army of Office seek
ers are moving upon the enemys
works" and making Democratic and
Johnsonized Republican incumbents
get TO use an expressive flash
word. Very few of these classes will
ee left in Office in few weeks. Sound
Republicans will supersede them.
Every new nomination or appoint
ment gives leave of absence to a host
of applicants and their friends. Thus
the transient population is thinning
out very rapidly. The outgoing trains
are filled to their utmost capacity.
A number of old barnaeles, who
have held office here under various
administrations from time immemo-
rial, are being displaced. They i'm
agined that the Governmental ma
chine could not be run without
them. but find that they have been
mistaken. New blood and modern
ideas are thus infused into the ad
ministrative force here, which, it is
hoped, will unite considerable red
tape, (to use mixed METAPHOR and
grease the wheels of Government with
the oil of industry and energy.
Amongst the entertaining collec-
tons of curiosities here, is that of
minerals, geological specimens, ami
mails, &c, in the museum connected
with the Land Office. An examine
ton thereof gives a person more ex-
aired ideas of the boundless wealth
of our favored country. l was re-
minded when there of the eloquent
lecture delivered in our city by Bish-
op Simpson, in 1864, relative to the
subject of our national resources.
The President also happily alludes
thereto In his Iaugural Address.
" Let us have peace " in this distract
ed land, and then the prodigious in
crease in the general wealth will make
the payment of the national debt com
paratlvely easy.
Much has been said derogatory to
