WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. April "a. 1869


OUT CT TOWN.
The President and three mem oeFs OF
the cabinet are out OF town to-day. Mr..
Rontwell has zone 10 his home In Mas
sachnsetts: B0rie TO Philadelphia, as
he does every Friday evening, and
CrosoweIl ia absent in Maryland for a
waaE The President with his wife
and children went out to Laurel, half
wnv TO Baltimore, and spent the day
vTiih his brother-in-law, DR.. Sharp,
who has summer residence there.
The family returned this evening.
WORN DOWN.
The President is greatly worn down
with the labors of the last two months,
and says he means to take things just
as easy as he can through the summer:
He talks about visit North by and
by, but no arrangements have yet been
mad@.
THE OFFICE SEEKERS
About the Departments to-day were LOT
the most part persons who live IN or
near Washington. The Treasury seems
to be the chief point OF attack, anu at
noon about one hundred men ana Wo-
men were waiting there to see the ap-
pointrnent clerk. He and the Secretary
have less trouble with the new corners
than with the clerks who have been DIS
missed, and want to be rcinstated. The
removals IN tDlS OepdIlLleuG are COuS
stantly going on, and the beheading
machine will get into good working or
der in the POstoflce and Interior with
the beginning of next month. The re-
moVals in the Treasury to this date are
about five hundred, the appointments
less than thirty. a still further reduc-
ton of two or three hundred Is to be
made, and about one hundred are soon
to be removed in the POstoftice Depart
ment.
THE ODD FELLOWS.
Brethren here are advised that great
preparations are making in Philadels.
phia for the semi-centennial celebration
OF Odd Fellows which takes place next
Monday. A delegation of about six
hundred is going up from hero, some of
whom went Tonight, but the greater
part 90 by special train tomorrow
morning. There arc over two thousand
members of the order in this city.
Every body says the Philadelphia pro.
cessi0n will, if the weather Is good, be
one of the finest things ever seen in
this country.
PACIFIC SPEED.
The Secretary of War to-day received
letters from San Francisco which were
mailed but eight days ago, and private
kilograms received here this morning
say the through line of railroad will be
completed by tho end of next week.

IT is reported from Washington
again, apparently on good authority,
that Secretary Fish will at no very dis
tant day retire from the State Depart
ment. Congress having adjourned and
most of the foreign appointments hav-
ing been made. he now desires TO re-
turn to private life. This fashion
which has sprung up under President
Grants administration, of taking cabl.
net positions simply for the purpose OF
manipulating the appointments, strikes
us as something new ard as not at all
creditable to those concerned in it. The
tender of a cabinet position alter it had
been thus despoiled would be as destt-
tute Of all the finer elements ola COM
pliment as the offer of u squeezed
orange.

THE Washington correspondent Of
the New York Sun writing last Friday
says:
Jones, whose name was laid on the
table as Minister to Belgium, will be
given some other position, and Carlisle,
who was confirmed and then reconsider
ed as Minister to Stock holm, tells his
friends that the President will reap
point him, aud give him the place.

HORACE GREELEY has been appoint
ed Commissioner to examine the Union
another of GraHks jokes, like that Of
Offering Dana the New York Apprais-
ershtp. Wehope Greeley will take the
joke. He is an honest man and the
Pacific Railroad. rich as it is, has not
money enough to buy whitewashipg
report at his hands. The pay is $40
day and mileage. We suppose Mr..
Greeley's religious convictions on the
mileage question wouldn't allow him
him to take the mileage.

The President has learned of SO many
cases in which he has been imposed
upon, and persuaded TO make appoint
ments of persons either untitled for the
positions obtained or having no claim
10 them, that he has determined TO
cause all such cases to be reviewed and
corrected. The probabilities for a
number OF changes are excellent.

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL ~.
A WASHINGTON special in the PhtIa

A WARRINGTON special in the Phtla-
delphia Press OF Saturday says the
President twill undoubtedly appoint
Mr.. CArlile, of West Virginia, Minister
to Brazil" We tind the same statement
in several other papers. This mission
pays Sl2 500 in gold, and ranks next
both in pay and importance to the Eng
lish and French missions. We sup
pose Grant knows nothing about
Mr.. Garlic except upon representations
made by such friends and back
ers as Mr.. Foreman, and is not SO
much to blame; but what are we to
think of those who deceive the Presi-
dent into the belief that this man
merits this highly responsible and
lucrative position? Such appoint
ments AS this are calculated to drive
out of the Republican ranks hon
est and capable men who cher
ish comuendable ambition TO serve
their country; because to be hon
est and capable, to have done long and
faithful service, to have deserved what
ever party may have 10 bestow in the
in the nature of political reward, has
come to be positive disability. 1t
excludes men completely from the ia
vor of those who dispense GavOrs at
Washington for West Virginia. Our
friends who have merely been faithful
servants OF their people, who whether
as civilians or soldiers, have fought the
good fight and kept the faith, are very
foolish. We have been taught trick
worth two of that. How comes 1t that
CarliIe and Nat. Harrison so upto the
White House the best endorsed men that
ever went from Yves: Virginia? Find
that out and you have the secret of sue
Cess. Political knavery is an essential,
but that alone will no: qualify you.-
That goes great way to be sure. But
familiarity with the history of a certai::
Egyptian King who once undertook to
cross the Red Sea without bridge or boat
aud made a wretched failure, or a sea-
sons adventures amid the gAities of the
French ballet, are the qualifications TINT
recommend a man to our christian and
conscientious Senators for the responsi-
bic post ola Government mission.
Such course of preparation takes
time and money. 1t Is also expensive 10
morals; and it might be we'll TO count the
cost before embarking in it. Il may be
too that by the sine one could be suti
cieutly accomplished 10 receive She ia

ards of excellence might be Ge; up. So
that upon the whole, If any body should
ask our advice, it would be, don't do
1t. The game isn't worth the candle.

The Wanderings Of a SOldier-Returns
after Years of Absence TO Find His
Wife Married.
From the Vernon Ua) Banner.
After an absence of five years, a
young man by the name Of James
Davis, who has been mourned for
as dead by his wife and friends, has
returned to his home, to find his
wife the wife of another.
The facts as near as we can gather
them are as follows: Soon after
marrying a young and beautiful
wife, daughter of William Smiley
of this county, he volunteered his
services TO his country, and entered
company | of the sixth Indiana
regiment. He served in the regi-
ment faithfully for Overa year, when,
on account of sickness, he received
what was then known as a dis
charge furlough. He came home to
his family, and not receiving his
final discharge, was ordered to re-
turn to his regiment. Not having
fully recovered, he delayed return
ing, trusting in his discharge fur
Tough to shield him from all danger
He was arrested, taken to Chatta-
nOoga, court-martialed, and to avoid
being imprisoned, volunteered for
five years longer, going into the
gunboat service. This was the last
heard of him definitely, until within
a few weeks past report come back
to his distressed wife of his death.
She being without home or friends
to care for her, and having two little
children to protect, and convinced
beyond one single doubt of her
husbands death, having waited his
return four long and weary years,
and married again-all atfonce, as if
from the grave, her first husband
comes back.
1t appears from his story that af-
Mr.. Davis served in the regular
service a couple of years he was
assigned to one of our ships of war.
At the close Of the war the ship
was lost at SEQ and he and a CONS
panion being cast on one Of the
West India islands, being the only
survivors. They remained on this
island twelve months, finally ship
ping in a vessel bound for foreign
ports, and as one the crew visited
the ports Of China, France and
Great Britain, he at returns home
10 find his wife again married, and
mourned by his friends as one
dead
How many fond hearts are there
to-day in all this land hoping and
praying that missing loved ones
may return The above is anoth-
or instance where those that were
supposed to be dead have unexpect-
eddy returned. The war has not
left Jennings county without her
romances or without her sufferers.

AN OLD STORY.

the PertIs of Drinking Bad whisky.
Many years ago, when the State
of Georgia was in its infancy, one
of the Circuit Judges was Bella
Brown, an ancestor of the recent
H'secesh" Governor of that name.
He was man of ability and integ
rity, but like a good many dis
tinguished persons of that day, he
loved a social glass; and whenever
the members of the bar would turn
in and help, he sometimes drank to
excess and became gloriously fud-
died. On one occasion, whiletrav-
cling on circuit, he reached the viii
lage Of Dayton, in DOOly county,
where the court was to be opened
next day, and he took quarters with
a relative of his wife, that lady &C
,compaDying him. After supper
Judge Brown strolled over TO the
only tavern ia the place, kept 10y
one Sterritt, where he met num-
Der OF his legal friends. A con-
yivial evening was passed; drinks
frequently went round, and some
where about midnight the Hon.
Bella was in a state of mind quite
reverse to that implied by the old
saw, Sober as a Judge" When
he was leaving for home, one of the
young lawyers, in a spirit of mis-
chief, slyly passed some spoons
from the tumblers into the Judges
pocket.
On dressing himself next morn
ing, the eccentric official, putting
his hand into his pocket, was greatly
perplexed in discovering three oil
four silver spoons.
MY God! Polly" said he to hi'
wife, "iust look here; | believe I've
stolen some of Sterritt's spoOnsw

Certainly; l can understan
easy enough how it all came abou
That fellow, Sterritt, keeps th
meanest liquor in the State; but
never supposed that to drink
would make a man steal !"
The spoons were duly returne
to the landlord, and the Judge wei
and opened his court, thinking I
more about the matter. Sever
DAYS elapsed, and the business
the court was drawing TO a clos

customer was arralgned before |

guilty, but said in mitigation IL
he was drunk at the time of CO
