OFFICE SEEKERS.

Large crowds of ofics-seekers were to be
seen to-day hanging around the different
departments looking for something to do for
the Government, salary not being so much
of an object as q patriotic desire to serve
Uncle Samuel permanently. Those who
have lately been seen waiting around the
State Department left in despair to day
when it was announced by Secretary Fish
that no more appointments for consulships
would be disposed Of at present.
AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT OF CON-
GRESS DESIRABLE.
This has been very beautiful but dull
day, and specially go about the capitol,
nothing Of note being done in any OF the
Departments, the time Of the heads OF each
being wholly occupied in giving audiences
to senator's, members, and office-hunters
and it is hoped by them that Congress will
adjourn soon, that they may give little
more time to their legitimate business.
A strong effort is being made to have
Colonel MARYLAND, nominated as Third As
sistant Postmaster General, rejected by the
Senate. "a - WALLACE.

Under this state of things, and in view
of the present deplorable condition Of our
State-Wells in the Gubernatorial chair,
and no organized civil government in two
thirds of the counties-we say unhesita-
tingly that the best thing we can do is to
adopt the constitution, and strike out the
Objectionable features. -FincoStLe Herald.

had once been in the State Legislature,

would spill out of his well, and only Civ
lug in to steam cars by slow degrees. -
