WASHINGTON, March 4.--Royal f. Purcell, of
Vincennes, is at the Ebbitt.
Indiana ofice-seekers have almost entirely
disappeared. Only Bayless Hanna was about
the hotels to-day. None of them appear to have
any real hope of ultimate success, excepting Dr.
Hunter, of Lawrenceburg, who is to be revenue
collector, and Jno. S. Williams, of Lafayette,
who will likely be an auditor of the Treasury.
Speaking of the disposition of federal offices
in Madison county, which has, by the new re-
districting bill been thrown into the Indianapolis
district, prominent Indiana Democrat said to-
to-day that neither Representative Ward who
was elected to serve Madison county, nor Repre-
sentative Bynum, who represents the district in
which that county now is, WILL in all probability,
dictate appointments there Senator Voorhees,,
it is thought, will, under the circumstances,
take charge of the matter. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Pence will be postmaster at Anderson as
soon as the term of the present incumbent ex
pires, OR BEFORE if change is determined upon.
The Solicitor for the Treasury has received an
offer from James II. Harper, one Of the sureties
of John T. Harper formerly collector of internal
revenue for the Fifth district of Illinois, to pay
$3.50 in compromise of his liability under the
bond. The government obtained judgments
against ex-collector Harper for about $68, 900.
The commission of Hon. Rufus Magee as min
lister to Sweden and Norway was signed by the

"Oh, yes; there are lot of clerks here, as
there are everywhere else, who will shirk as

Now we have clerks in the Treasury who pro-
coed upon that principle. They try to make
three words last fifteen minutes, and you would
be surprised if you knew how eminently success
full some of them are in their efforts.
IF you are ever government officer you will

at your work and say, That man is the embodi-

A Branch OF American Farming Which Prom
ises To BE Very Lucrative.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-One of the most
lucratiye branches of American farming prom
ises to be in the production of turkey feathers
for European countries. The manufacturers of
fancy goods in France Switzerland and other
countries are consuming enormous quantities of
American turkey feathers. and. as the supply is
falling very largely behind the demand,
prices have sharply advanced. Of this subject
Consul Clifford, of Basic, Switzerland, commune
Gates as follows to the Department of State:
stIt may be of interest to American exporters
to learn that there is in Switzerland a demand
for turkey feathers largelyin excess of the home
supply. The turkey does not thrive in Europe SO
well as in its native country and its flesh is ap-
parently less esteemed as an article of food, but
the feathers are extensively used in the manu-
facture of busters, and recently an attempt has
used as trimmings for womens clothing. This
latter industry is, however, only in its expert
mental stage Such trimmings have been for
some time manufactured il France. The most
of the feathers are imported from the United
States The entire supply known to be available
there was at first monopolized by Swiss import
or, who disposed of them not only in this country,
but in France and other adjoining countries; but
at present. it is learned that direct importatious
are made into France. In consequence OF the
active demand here the price of these feathers
is reported to have more than quadruped, the
supply remaining inadequate

WASHINGTON, April 4-Neither ex Represent

Boyd, of Kentucky. There has been good deal
of talk about it, however, to-day, growing out of
an insult delivered to the senior Turner by Boyd
at the National Hotel last night,
but friends interposed and put Boyd
to shame, saying the father is sxty-one years
old, and that the son is STRIPPING without judg-
ment or responsibility. Had it not been for
wise counsel, it is not improbable, though, that
bloodshed would have followed, for the air has
been full of talk about pistols and other imrle-
ments OF the code of honor, and Riley Boyd
