INGENUITY OF A HUBBITR
A Boston man named Joseph Me
Cord, has been ingenious enough to in (.

more ingenious still in deyising cheap
mode of advertising it extensively, viz:
by getting up very nice specimen. sill

had an interview for the purpose on

GOV. coRMIcK AND THE PRESIDENTS NDI-
\ An POLICY.
Thursday, Gov Mccormick, Delegate
from Arizona, had parting interview
with the President and Secretaries Of
War aud Interior, relative to Indian
Agents for his territory, and learned
definitely that it was the Presidents
settled purpose to employ army officers
there in all three capacities Of Super
intendents, General Agents and Spec
ial Agents, to the exclusion of all resi-
dents Of the Territory, in whose behalf
the Governor has been interesting him
self. He left town the next day for New
York, to attend to his private affairs,
which have unayoidably suffered neg
loct during his absence since 1863 He
formerly represented tue New York
Evening Post in Washington.
THE IMMENSELY or YANKKEDoM.
The travelling Gov Mccormick has
to do to get to his seat in Congress, is
at once a striking illustration OF the
yastness Of our country and au impress
siye argument in favor of the removal
Of the rational capital. From the cap
ital Of the Territory, Tucson, he jour
neys in his private carriage, nearly 600
miles due west, to the nearest port on
the Pacific. There he takes steamer,
and goes 600 miles more up the coast
to San Francisco. Aud this point gain
ed, he is ready to commence his jour
ney for Washington Heretofore it
has been via Panama The shortest
practicable line from Tucson to any
point on the present Pacific road is 500
miles.
THE RACES, on THE NATIONAL COURSE,
In our immediate neighborhood, have
been going on for several days without,
apparently, in the least disturbing the
general lethargy into which the Capital
has fallen since the departure Of Sena-
tor and Representatives and their num-
erous ofice-seeking constituents, 1t
reminds me Of I" a fight quietly proceed
ing in the corner Of room, at a dem
ocratic meeting in Tammany Hal, many
years ago, as described by brave, hon
est, talented Mike Walsh, in his SUI
terranean.
THE NEGRO AHEAD YET.
A son oil Fred. Douglass, as you see
by the papers, las obtained situation
in the Government Printing Office
Here, in Washington, everything goes
by Printers Union. A printer mustn't
be employed without its permission;
and IT regulates the wages, the number
Of hours and Of apprentices, &c. Doug
lass does not belong to the Union.
Reason, il has refused 20 admit him
where he has heretofore worked, Now.
