scRAMBL1NG FOR OFFICE.

Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.
WASHINGTON, July 25 Such a scram-
BILE as there now is for Government app
pointments has never been tqualled be-
tore, except upon a change of Admins
ration. 1t is almost as great ms that
which made life burden to Garfield the
the difference being that the places now
sought are mostly of lower grade
mere department clerkships. The chief
cause of this rush just at this time is the
provision made in the Legislative and
Executive appropriation bill, not yet a
law, for increasing the force of the Pen
sion flee. The increase in this ard in
the Surgeon Generals office, which does
some OF the work on pension claims, is to
be about l, 200 clerks, and it would seem
that nearlythe whole population of Wash.
ington, with large reinforcements from
the States, were making hard fight fol
the places. 1t is stated that over 5000
applications have been filed with Sec'y
Teller, but the chances of most of these
applicants are mighty slim. The posi-.

Our Washington Letter.
From OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July %, 1882

From OUR REGULAR CoRREsPoNDEET.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July %, 1882.
If this Washington season has been
dull one in respect of Congressional pro-
ceedings, it has ! zen very lively one for
scandals, and with regard to this it may
be said that the public outside of Wash
ington hears but portion of what is re-
ported from mouth to mouth here. II is
question whether Washington is really
any worse than other places of Immorali-
ty. But the espionage of the habits of
public men is here rather closer and more
willing to make news of discovered fail
ings than it is elsewhere. If the truth
were known it would probably be dem
onstrated that most of the mature men
who figure in scandal here did not first
lapse from virtue in the District of Co.
lumbia. They are apt to be more reck-
less here than at home, although there is
reason enough for greater prudence. be-
canse there is here class of despicable
characters who resort to means of obtain
ing influence which public men would
have little need to beware of in their own
mel ghborhood. Elsewhere men are black
mailed only for the sake of money; here
they are also blackmailed for votes or for
patronage. There nre politicians who do
not scruple to use any knowledge they
may obtain affecting the moral reputation
Of others for their own advantage, and
there are some who, without reason, are
suspected Of employ ing spies and detec.
tiv,s to search out such information.

The Tweed Jury.

A New York criminal lawyer tells |
how the jury was selected in Tweed's
case: Tweed employed man to
fix the last jury that tried him
who had been on previous jury
which hung that is, which could
not agree. He gave this man very
large amount of money. l heard
the sum stated at S120, 900, or $10,-
600 for each juror. He didn't Sc
cure single man. l don't think he
ever spent the money, but it was
because he could not. The whole
case turned on the securing of a
jury in that case, for, Of course,
Tweed had no defense, and in the
end offered none. Panel after panel
was exhausted to be number of over
500 before an honest jury was OBJ
tanned. AS each panel was called
after the first one they had to be in
vestigated over night and large
force of detectives were employed in
doing it. A number of officers were
brought from Washington, and still
Others employed were young lawyers
of this city who were quietly engaged
for the purpose. Each man had
about three jurors to investigate,
and he had to turn in his written
report by midnight to be entered up
in that book-the black book
which so puzzels Tweed and his
counsel during the trial, as the
opposing prosecuting lawyers pored
over it. Henry l.. Clinton was the
man who did the work, and it was
the information he gave the prosecu-
ton which decided them to accept
or reject man. When the jury
was impaneled the detectives guarded
them from approach by Tweed's
men, and the end was inevitable.
Yet so completely was Tweed de-
ceived that he believed until the last
moment that his money had been
placed where it would do the most
good. In fact it never left the
pocket of his friend Harry until
that Jury fixer' dicd a year or two
later"
