Barnacles in Our Circumlocution

Some cousins of Mr.. Dickens's Tite
Barnacle, now in our departmental " cir
cumlocution offices" here at the Capital,
arc afraid the country may lose their SER
vices if Bourbon votes for appropriations
should cease to be Indispensable. They
are greatly opposed to change. They are
for Civil-Scrvice Reform, which means
to them that all the parasitical fungi
which has for thirty years been collect
ing in and about the government shall
continue to cling. They do not approve
of being swept down with the webs they
have so carefully woven by brooms
in the hands of living, moving
men. They are warts on Uncle
Sans nose, bunions on his feet,
and corns on his toes. They are specs on
his Eyeglasses, flies in his butter and
sand in his slippers. They are smoke in
his chimney, leaks in his roof, and rats
in his garret. They came from nobody
knows where, and are the friends of no.
body knows who. The duties they per-
form are as intricate as those of u
horse that propels the mill in tam
yard, and every night thousands Of
children 60 supperless to bed whose
fathers could take their places with
advantage to the public service.
They have been originally put in by
heads of departments, who appointed
them to escape the opportunities of Con-
gressmen, who in turn battled for their
appointment rs the only way given under
heaven whereby they might escape the
untlagging pursuit of the applicants
themselves. Some are charged to States
where they have never lived ;others have
been appointed that they might cease to
live in the States to which they are
charged. They are brazen monuments
of what impudence and importantly will
do at Washington for the possessors of
those gifts. A mere inquiry as to who
they are and what they do stirs
them rs the unclaimed winds dis
turbs the ocean. They rush to sem
sational newspapers, and straightway
there is a flood of invective against
all who would lay rude hands upon them.
Servants of government which must

ties into which the people have divided,
on opposing purposes these hangers-on
set themselves above such paltry matters
as party policies and represent only their
own appetites. They hold it to be q
great outrage for the party in power to
prefer itself to the opposition at the next
election. 1t is these unworthy charac-
ters who find eager champions in
the newspapers which affect non-parti-
sanship and reform. If the gentle, SYM
pathetic, and credulous Public could be
deceived by these well-housed tramps
and their man-hating advocates in the
Independent press, then the Public would
deserve to have its hat knocked down
over its silly old eyes, while the rogues
it thus encouraged picked its pockets of

Sir: beg to invite your attention to the con-
dition of Fourteenth street roadway, and in doing
so to state what is patent to the wayfarer, and
would have been so to the honorable Board of
Commissioners but for the utter indifference or
imbecity of its late president, that the street Is
a thoroughfare to Rock Creek, Piney Branch, and
Soldiers Home, and the only natural and pleasant
outlet TO the city, consequently is i'll general use
by the public. Independent of the travel of resi-
dents along this roadway beyond Boundary street,
it is estimated that over three thousand carriages
pass over it daily An inspection of this street
will develope disgrace and a nuisance which
should at once be abated. With huge indifference

repuously destroyed. The will was established
and admitted to probate. A rule was passed oil
as administrative. TO this rule she made answer
that being the only surviving child, aud having
been granted letters of administration she did not
consider herself compelled 10 render an account

IT is we'll known here in Washington

THE Bourbon organs have loving
words for certain allies of theirs, whom
they designate as :" the honest Republi-
cans of the South" and the decent Re-
publicans" of the North. We can con-
ceive of no lower depth of infamy than
that reached by alleged Republicans
who, in the heat of political battle, are
thus petted and caressed by the enemy.
The Republicans who are really regarded
with respect by their Bourbon oppo-
nents are those who are publicly de-
nounced by them. The mean Republi-
cans, whom they publicly praise, they
really detest and privately denounce.
The Northern doughfaces and the South
ern Yankee slave oyerseers of ante-war

less creatures who now figure in Bour-
bon newspapers as "honest Republicans
of the South" and "decent Republi-
