A sensation was created among the army
Of hungry Office seekers congregsted in
Washington by the discovery of an applies
ton at the white house for the Brazilian
Mission, bearing the signature of the well
known female lawyer, Belvs A. Lockwood
The following is the communication in full,
which explains itself:
Washington, d. c., April IS, SlSl,
Tohls eXcellency James A. Garfield, President
of the United States.
Dear sir: You have been so busy since
you delivered your eloquent and famous
inaugural, and go beset by office seekers will
ling and anxious to serve their country in any
capacity, that l have not ventured to. intrude
upon your valuable time as the ruler of a
great nation, even for the purpose of paying
nv respects. | nave witnessed from afar the
difficulties you have met in your efforts to fill
the public positions at your disposal in the
interests of the people, and at the same time
to reward the men who contributed 10 your
election, and reconcile the opposing factions
of the. republican party. The chief difficulty
has been that there has not been offices
enough for the applicants, but occasionally a
difficulty has arisen, in which the applicant
for office has not been pleased with the char
acter of the position offered, and has declined
it. Thus the valuable services of the eminent
citizen have been lost 10 the country, as in
the recent refusal Of B. X. Bruce of Missis-
sipppi, to accept the Brazil mission rendered
himIby your excellency. 1t is to r lieve you
of this dilemma, and to further the important
commercial interests of our country connect
ed Herewith, that l now reluctantly come to
the front and effer to accept the Brazilian
mission if rendered to me.
