Editor Ojiiaio.v fc'rour: WnsliiiiKton is elowoly recovering from (ho delirium of inauguration vcok. Tho lust of tho great throng of ion-olllcs seeking visitors aro prepar- ig to go home. Ah the excursion ickels expire to-night, tho oflico seek ers who intend to remain and hglit tlto good light to tho more or less hit ter end, have Hooded the ticket scalp 's with so much pasteboard that you, $an to-day buy a ticket to St Louis or Chicago for a dollar. AUJllo pressure for office is pitiable. Who hotel lobbies arc crowded; Cong ressmen aro besieged, and many mem bers have been driven homo since Mon- Jilay by the solicitations of the anxious patriots, r or every omco paying ipzwiv iRr oven $1500 .there aro a score of ap plicants,, and tho number of tlioso who tlo not know exactly what thoy do ant is simply astounding. If any jno state may proudly boast of its Tali promo energy in oflico seeking at present, the palm may be awarded to Indiana. That state now affords ae- Itive candidates for every bureau head nil tliu department:. In conversation with this hungry Ipirmy, one iff BitrpriVcd to learn that thoy expect their claims are to bo con- Ridorcd within a week or ten days, cor ptJiinly in two weeks.

Very soon the big offices will bo filled uml iilnnf iwin mif. nf fwmit.v will lin lufl. out in the cold, tho positions wont go round. Will our solicitous friends go homo and plant and reap and bo con tent as before? Ono third of them may. Tlio others waII remain, bum pier will come and find them den izens of droary second-class boarding Jiousos. Tlio hotel lobbies will still bo Sillied with them, sad ghosts of tho last campaign. Thoso that have been in tho clinso boforo will reconcilo them- PkJvcp to ofd ivshocialions, and thoso Kjjio havo not been in Washington be fore will accommodato themselves to that emporizing lifo as best thoy may, hoping against hope that somuthing may turn up, When Congress comes back again Sioxt winter, tlio oflico seekers, depress ed but not discouraged will bo on hand, Thoy will waylay unwary statesmen ill dark nooks of tho Capitol corridors and forco largo promises from their jpullid lips. And after a whilo when us monoy gives out and friends of his letter days begin to avoid him, tho scdker place will bo content to got it 1)00 potition in tho census oilico or somo similar bureau for tho disposal f political garbngo. Thou you may ;; tlio mysteriously important genle- omcn who to-day desires to bo, say, ndian Commissioner, carrying his lit tles lunch basket to a messenger's desk. Thoro aro among all these hungry jucs, a largo number of roully good ncu men of honor and usefulness at .heir homes. Liku death, this orazo is o respecter of porous. I mot ycator ay as sterling a follow as ovor lived, a ising young lawyer, not to bo sure a man who would ever bo a great lawyer but a man who might by remaining in Illinois, in a few years reach a praotico of $1000 per annum. Ho concluded by saying "you know that 1 never osked for oflico before," That is tho only oxcuso ; "ho has never askod for Voflico boforo." 1 lo states it as if it were a merit, and to it is; but ho does not tell us why ho did not retain tho merit. 't'Pllnf'u M'lnil 1 Inlil llmi 1 Inrriur,,, during tho campaign," 1 heard an In diana Congressman saying yostcrday, "and 1 bcleivo I pursuaded him of it, though he did'nt scorn to fool co at iiift. There is nothing to honorable as tho pursuit of position. Lot a great man dio; what is his biography but a history of tho olllces ho has held. Tho most noted lawyer in tho world would havo been unknown was it not for tho public offices ho had held." What shall it profit a man to agree with iiueh a (spoilsman what fallacy could not bo more oneily eradicated? The now eabinet wont in on Wones day, (leneral Tracy, for Secretary of Navy, being the first to tako tho nee eassary oath.
