WASHINGTON LETTER.

| washington, -. u, Aprll y, 81.
Everything indicates great many
changes in the Interior Department,
Pnst Office, and the Attorney Gener-
ais Office at an early day. In the
Treasury also the removals will prob
aJly BE- numerous, bnt it is thought
Secretary Window will postpone nc Ion
for some time. In the War and Navy
partments the positions of impor-
tance are all flled by officers of the two
branches Of the scryice and the coming
of new administra ion makes no diff
ference. y man once anchored in the
State Department, 4ni found efficient,
is hardly ever disturbed except by
death.
AS an indication OF what Secretary
KirkwoId means % do or to recon-
mend the President tn do, action taken
yesterday was significant. Congress
having proviled for eight 5000 clerks.
and many others at high pay. IN the
Pension Office, it was generally he.
lieved the Secretary would promote
some of the old clerks to those fat
places. BIT he did not. Every one
named is new man, and the eight at
= 90 rank any before in the Office
This means reorganiz ltion, and doubt
less. the retirement Of the present
Commissioner, Bentley.
The newspaper jake of the week is
the proposition to make Senator David
Davis Collector OF New York, as "a
means of breaking the deadlock in the
Senate. As it is nJw said that neith-
er the President nor Secretary Blaine
use any influence upon Republican
Senators in the matter of going to the
consideration of executive business, l
do not see how the deadlock is to be
broken. Except Mr.. Frye and Mr..
COnger the ableSt Senators of that
party have now declared that the Re-
publlcans must 'stick," until George
Gorham and Riddleberger are elected
Secretary and Sergeant at Arms of the
Senate. The Democrats are equally
united in saying that these men shall
not be elected, at least until tho neces-
say business of the Session is over. 1t
is not a pretty quarrel" " but petty
One, but these dignifed Senators can
hardly retreat after taking so deter
mined stand.
The President has again found it
necessary to limit the time during
which he will receive visitors, and to
renew the notice that all applications
for office must be filed in the proper
departments. Personal applications
will receive no attention. Many IF
those Office seekers who weeks ago al
tackled the White House in person are
now carrying on the war from a dis
tance by means of the United States
mails. All letters received by the
President OF this kind, are at once
sent to the Cabinet officer to whose de-
partment they relate. This is the only
way a President can act with proprie-
ty. He cannot examine into the mer-
its. or ''claims'' of one in q thousand
of the applicants. Mr.. Hayes had q
happy way of promising anybody any
thing, and then, perhaps, having his
clerks hunt up citizens name in the
directory, but there are objections to
that system.

An Incident of the Blockade.

A correspondent of the Boston Adrer-
tiseT, discussing the subject of color
blindness, relates the following as COM
ing under his own experience when en-
ployed In the blockade of the port of
Wilmington, n. c., during the war of
the rebellion: "The ships on blockade
duty got under way at sunset, and at
dark moved to their regular stations,
some going well In toward Fort Cas-
well, and others further off, keeping
under low steam and in a specific beat.
To prevent, as far as possible, our own
ships from mistaking and firing into
each other, each supposing the other
blockade runner, as did happen more
than once, my own ship getting three
24-pound shells from one of our own
vessels, system of challenging and
answering signals by showing or flash
ing a red OF white light was established.
As we all know the station or beat Of
each ship, we could usually tell with
tolerable certainty what vessel was the
rule for any ship doubling to challenge
by showing the challenging signal for
that particular night. IF no answering
light was shown, or an incorrect one,
UlLC AIltt ~ LIZ hlC w LII S11C
night my own ship was challenged. We
were SO near that al hands on my own
vessel knew well what ship made the
challenge. We answered by showing a
red light fog three or four seconds.
Again we were challenged, and again we
answered as before. All hands were at
quarters. Almost Immediately after
our second answer the lock string OF the
100-pounder rife on board the challen-
ger was pulled, the gun, pointing di-
rectly at my ship, happily missing fire.
Before the gun could be reprinted we
were made out, and no harm done. The
next day IN interview was had with the
commander Of the challenging ship,
and was informed by me that his chal-
lenges were correctly answered, myself
seem it done. Why our answers were
not seen by his ship could not be made
out. He informed me, however, that he
had been many months in command of
his ship, and never before had that
gun missed fire"

than angry, and in their frolics they
would cross and recross each others
course, over and under, until several
were entangled In the lines. One, with
more familiarity than was agreeable,
placed the end of his enormous head
upon the gunwale of a boat and deliber-
ately turned 1t bottom side up.
The crew managed to obtain foot
hold upon the bottom, but finding their
position dangerous, as the whales seemed
inclined to make a plaything of the cap
sized craft, sprang overheard and swan
for the other boat. In doing SO they
were mixed up promiscuously with
sharks and whales, and frequently had to
deviate from direct course to avoid
them. They passed through school of
from twenty to thirty sharks unframed,
but were obliged to retrace their course.
On arriving at he boat they were
ordered back, and as some were inclined
to enter contrary to orders, boathooks
and paddles were brought into requisi-
ton to enforce obedience to command.
This appearedto be the height of cruelty,
but it was considered necessary to ensure
the safety Of others, and more particular
~ to ensure the capture CT the whale.
The movements of boat double loaded
would have been impeded, which would
not only lessen The chances for capture,
putmcrease the danger Of being stove. !"
On board of whaler men only obtain
secondary consideration. "Whales first
and men afterwards" is the motto, as
men can be procured in any port, while
catching whales is not an everyday oc-
currence. Leaving those men 10 their
fate for the time being was no excep-
tional case, but rather the result of an
established rule. When making fast to
lone whale it sometimes happens that
the boat is Immediately snd completely
shattered. The second boat in the chase,
instead of noticing the struggling men,
will direct their whole attention to the
whale, leaving them to be picked up by
a spare boat from the vessel. The dis
cipline is very rigid, but perhaps no
more SO than is necessary. This might
be maintained, however, without such
extreme cases of cruelty as have been
witnessed.

California Incidents.

a friend In the claim. After awhile he
was offered $75, 900 for it, and, on find

who had not put dollar in the claim,
concluded: Worth a million if it's

Mr.. Tiiden AGAIN.

George Alfred Townsend's Correspondence
Yesterday I saw your Uncle Sammy
Tilden walking along Nassau street,
among the old book-shops I never saw
him look better. His skin was clear as
girls, and his eyes open and intelii-
gent. His coupe was being walked a
little distance behind him, and now and
then he would throw out his hand like a
switchman on "a railroad motioning TO
the engineer, and the coupe would move
up or stop. Iilden generally wears
brown clothes and high silk hat. He
is seldom seen in company with any
body, aud only one Or two persons out Of
hundreds rushing by were aware who ne
was. Yet he will be remembered when
many a president is lost on the miscel-
laneous obscurity of a long presidential
roll He is IS years old, and viii be 70
at the next election-not much older
than Gen. Jackson when he climbed a
merry -go-around. The old man has fol-
lowed Gashe's advice; when love, ambi-
ton and everything physical fail, take
up art and literature for the final comfort
There Is no man who could write more
successful book than Tilden, and none
that would be read by a greater multi

ieresting Sketch of Rough Life on the Ocean.
From the Boston Globe.l
The whale fishery can fairly claim tc
be venerable, if age can make it 50, as
mention is made of tin the time of King
Alfred the Great, when attention was
called to it by Oethen, traveller of some
distinction, nearly thousand years ago.
1t has seldom become prominent sub
iect OF public attention, however, from
the fact that SO little has been written
concerning it, although it has been re-
garded as the best school for the sailor.
For this reason nations in times past
have thought it worthy of support, even
at times when it was not pecuniarily sue
cessful. Massachusetts, has always taken
the lead in this branch OF industry, and
at the present time there is larger num-
Der OF whaling vessels sailing from her
ports than from not only al other states
combined, but from the whole world.
The number and character of vessels
hailing from this country are shown in
the following table:
