Perce, a fifth rate carpet bagger who repre sented some God forsaken district in Mississippi in the last Congress, and who was a candidate for the Post mastership of the House this time, is regarded with satisfaction by men of all shades of politics, in and out of Congress. This man Perce has been one of the most inveterate office seekers in the country. He has been trviug for half a dozen positions since the last Congress adjourned.— He puts a man in mind of that class of “ beet»” who start in by asking a loan of §500, and drop gradually down to 25 cents. Perce first tried for a foreign mission, and then kept falling till he endeavored to fasten on the postmastership of the House. He is now an applicant for the posi tion of Chief Messenger of a Bureau in one of the Departments.

It is on ly to the haste and mode of the pun ishment that tenable objection is made; bat this, it is contended, can not be regarded of itself as a c a u s a b e l l i . It should be remembered, also, that all insult to the American flag was disavowed when the Virgin- ius was captured. The officer of the Tornado who boarded the Virginias, before ordering the American flag on that vessel to be pulled down, distinctly and emphatically stated that he intended no disrespect to the flag of our nation, bnt that the Vir- ginius was not entitled to the honor o f sailing under it, or of claiming its protection. It is beginning to be shrewdly suspected, here in Wash ington, that it is the policy of the Administration and its adherents to make a hullabaloo over this matter of the Virgiaius, to divert the pub lic mind from the consideration of home matters—of the deplorable condition to which the country has been reduced by Republican misrule. The Administration is desirous that i the ugly fact of there being more ' than forty thousand working people ! out of employment now in New York | aloDe, and a proportionate number in every city and town of the Union, shall not be discussed by Congress. Butler and bis gang are also anx ious to stave off, indefinitely, a dis cussion of the salary grab. The Credit Mobilier men and the con gressional attorneys of the railroads wish the same.
