now offered in Washington. That CITY
is occupied by an enormous crowd of

upon securing office. The business of
the nation, the legislation of Congress.
are virtually subordinated to this pursuit.

nue. Commissioner can not possibly know
any thing OF most OF the applicants, or Of
their friends, and he must depend upon
such information as Senator's and Repre-
senatives can give They in turn must
depend upon friends at home, upon local
committees. upon political gentlemen,
and these have their friends and enemies.
