CURRENT TOPICS AT THE CAPITAL.
WASHINGTON Tuesday. April D. 1881

APPOINTMENTS IN THE PENSION OFFICE.
Secretary Kirkwood has completed the list OF ap-
continents TO the new POSITIONS IN the fenNoh
Office created by Congress just before adjournment
The pressure for these places has been enormous ana
The experience of the Secretary at the very outset
of his administration IN submitting to the solicita-
tions of members of Congress and others in influence
in behalf Of friends aud dependents has been very
frying OF the twenty new examiners at $1,000
each. twelve were selected from among the eX-
perienced clerks of the Pension Once and eight
were chosen from those mOst highly recommended
among the new applicants; of tho $500 list hve
We're promotions and Eiteen were new appoint
ments: of the 81 600 list twelve were promotions
and eight were new appointments. One clerk was
promoted 10 the 81 400 list aud nineteen new np-
poiptments were made. All the $1,000 positions
were filled with new men,
BoYTON AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
The friends of youue Boyton. the American ctr
cen who was recently arrested in Ireland for alleged
connection with the Land League agtatcrs, have
made representations to the State Department that
be was born in the State of Newiork, is an Ameri-
can CITIZEN entitled to all the rights. pr vleges and
protection accorded to American citZeushIp aud
urge the IntercessiOn of the Department IN his be-
half and for his release from the English prison 10
which he is now confined. The State Department
has not yet received a statement OF bis case from
the American Minister, but Will investigate the case
thoroughly and take suCh action IA the premises Us
NAV appear necessary OF fitting. Until the contrary
is shown, however the natural presumption I'D tie
matter IS that BOyton has rendered himself arnenape
10 British laws If tins proves to be the case, the
Government can interfere only to the extent oi
securing fair treatment for the prisoner.
! PROPOSED PURCHASE OF BONDS.
eThe Secretary of the treasury having directed

service of $3.50. 765; Ill the steamboat service OF
S55.725, and in mail messengers $780, total OF
S223,019. At this rate the saving IN this one
branch will amount to about two aud half NIL
hons annually. This result is due TO an order issued
about the 18th OF March forblddng any increase of
expense in particular branches of the service except
by especial authority OF tue Postnsster-ueneral.
