very hard throughout the country that
Government positions are more eagerly
sought afterthan ever before. and the poor
Congressman is the only medium through
which these Offices can possibly be obtain
ed. Already some thirty or forty N. Cs.
have arrived. closely followed by their
constituents after clerkships. The Heads
Of the Departments. although over taxed
with the duties OF their Offices which Is
now inc reased by the labors on their annual
reports are bored almost to death with re-
newed application for clerkships through
their Representatives. The Represen,ive

The dinner was, 1t may bc said, in

Editor Transcript:
1t is no sign that being dead or for
gotten, man has no relatives. Though
1t seems remote day in which John
Randolph, of Roanoke, was Repre-
sentative to Congress, so that now he is
only spectre of memory, yet his name
and the blood of his family have been
for many long years a portion of the
life of Washington. To-day was laid
away in the rest of the grave Robert b.
Randolph, Il cousin of him of Roanoke,
and himself a Virginian. He died yes
terday, aged IS years, at his poor resi-
dence on 4! Street. During great por-
ton of his life, he had been the victim
of w ong, such as is not often, let us
hope, necessarily borne in this Repub-
lie. Though almost entirely forgotten
by the world, this descendant of Poca-
hontas was once celebrated as the man
WhO pulled Andrew JdcksOn's nose
In his youth Randolph was lieuten-
ant in the navy. He was in the United
States frigate Constitution, with Deca-
tur, when she captured the British
frigate Macedonian. While in the
Mediterranean squadron, the purser of
his ship--One Timberlalle-died, and
Randolph was appointed to act in place
of the deceased purser. He found there
was deficiency in the purser's ac-
counts, which he reported on returning
home. The surety of the Eurser was
Eaton, then Secretary of War, who, be-
fore Randolph's return, married the
purser's widow. An effort was made
to throw the deficiency over TO Ran
dolph's account But Randolph called
for board of inquiry, which was grant
ed, and after investigating matters en-
tirely exhonorated him. One would
think this would have been the last of
the affair; but it was not. Instead of
approving the finding of the beard,
President Jackson ordered Randolph to
be dismissed from the navy. Randolph
obtained an interview with Jackson,
Vermont daily transcript. [volume] (St. Albans, Vt.) 1868-1870, 1869-04-24

and after some words of warmth on
both sides, he pulled, wrung, or twcak-
ed the nose of "Old Hickory" and left
the house. Not much chance for office
left, one would suppose. 1t is said that
Jackson subsequently conveyed to Ran
dolph, by an officer now living, an offer
to rcinstatc him if he would apologize
for pulling his nose but as Randolph
made condition that Jackson should
first apologize for language used upon
that occasion, the reinstatement ncvel
took place.
During the Presidency of James Blu
chanan, John b. Floyd, Secretary of
War, placed Randolph in charge of the
armory in Washington (; but on learn
ing this Buchanan ordered him to he
removed, for reasons not known to
me.
Randolph married late in life, II Miss
Beverly, of Virginia, and has three
daughters ana one son, the latter being
the faithful supporter of his parents
though quite youth. If one could UNI
roll the past. and learn the relation
which existed between Mrs. Timber
lake and other parties, both before and
after her husbands death, he woIld
probably find the key to all the injustice
and suffering which have fallen upon a
proud and gallant officer, and his fami-
ly, weighing them down with care and
want.
So has subsidized one wave Of the blood
which animated the lively, II years old
Indian girl, who danced and turned
summersaul:s without clifton, to

duller than this.
HOuls ever,
f.. PLURIBUS.
