Democratic Office seekers has already reached
Washington in expectation of an extra ses-
sion. They are one and all disgusted to find
the rear guard of their predecessors in the
Forty-ifth Congress lettering about the

ordinarily be good news to the boot and shoe

patriots hang around town until their funds

The only official of the late House with
whom the hungry ollice-seekers all hesitate
to lock horns is JoHNGEE THOMPSON.
He seems to have been born on purpose to

probably enjoy his birthright so long rs
the Democracy remains in power 1t is
certain that his accounts have always been
correct, and that in the performance of pub
lie trusts imposed upon him he has won the
good will and respect of all. GLOVER, in

caught another Democrat" never stunt

his Office the walking was smooth, and
