I do not knowwith what to compare
the ante room of the secretary's office,
unless to the waitiog-room of a dental
college ou free days, when the poor get
their teeth pulled for nothing. The anx
ious look on every wailing face and the
agonizing dread of suspense which fol
lows the interview tella the tale of profit
less adventure. To day Secretary Blaine
actually had to hide himself from the
crowd of importunate friend3, who, un
der the pretense of merely calling- to pay
their respects, expected to have there
paid back again with promise of office.
Not only at the White House and
State Department, but iu every depart
ment thoprcsure is the surac. No mem
ber of the cabinet- could have fewer
claimants for position than the new Sec
retary of the Navy. I lis years have been
?nent in legal practice, and yet friends,
relatives, personal acquaintances and al
leged iortner associates multiplied, so
fast to-day that it was necessary to lock
the door to keep the mob .outside. Mr.
Muse, who iu fifty years has opened to
tho callers of thirty secretaries of the
navy, says he never saw anything like it.
The President aod cabinet to-day agreed
to say to every applicant that unless for
just cause or where tho commission of the
applicant had expired there would be no
changes whatever in any department of
the civil bcrvicc.

Yesterday's 'Ualtimorc Sun is full of
choice bits of news from the seat of gov
eminent. Garfield, it informs ns, is still
bcfcct by caller?, whom he is compelled to
receive promiacuDusly, and to whom he
can only fay, '-how'-dy do !' shake hands;
and then say "good-bye." The Presi
de,ut,Fay.H the .San, reiterated iu a some-;
what more emphatic man-ner his purpose
iiot to make any removals at present, ex
cept for good aod sufficient cause. He
told a gentleman who has hsld and faith
fully perfoimcd the duties V)f a promi
nent -office in the South for twelve years,
and who was apprehensive thy his long
tenure might Cperdtc against him, to
give himself no uneasiness.
Muhonc is. also buy in the first Hush
of successful treason. There srems no
doubt of the .fact that he will be able to
control the Federal patronage in Vir
ginia. . He is dailv beset bj crowds of
C7 - -
hungry applicants from his State and
overburdoned with telegrams and letters
and ret ho finds' time enough for daily
visits at the. White House. As tothe
threats made by the two Republican
members from Virginia, Jorgenscn and
DcMadorfF, that if Mahonc was allowed
to control the Administration patronage
ia Virginia Ihey would vote with the
Democrats in the'nouse, that is all bosb
The Sitn says:
The two Jlepublican Congressmen
from Virginia, Messrs Jorgensen and
DezendQrff, had another interview with
.the President to-day, in which Virginia
politics were discussed at - some length.
They are understood to have expressed
to'the President theirintcntion of sup
porting his administration, even if he did
give 'the. Federal patronage to General
Mahone. .
Qlt is probably after all, that Stanley
Matthews will be confirmed. His friends,
says the Sun, arc quite confident of his
success. They say that Senator Conk
ling will not make serious opposition to
him now, and they seem to think that
this wrill insure , his confirmation. The
Supremo Court is very much crippled by
the absence f three iu3tices from the
bench, and the recess taken by the cour
was ordered because of the great strain
upon the other members by their having
been compelled for so long, a time to per
form double duty. They are exceed iug
ly anxious that thn-vacancy caused by
tho retirement of Judge Swavne shall be
filled as soon as possible.
As tor the extra session which has been
spokenbf its advocates clajm that it will
certainly be called, notwithstanding the
welhknown fact that neither the Presi
dent nor Secretary Blaine consider that
there is the least necessity for it. They
Btill insist that an extra tession will be
called before the first of July. Nearly
a hundred members one-third of. the
body ofthe House' of Representatives
are in Washing tor.
Tho Sun tells us this relative to Gen.
Hancock's reeent visit to the capital :
When Gen. Hancock was here during
the inauguration ceremonies a warm
friend of his said that he thought it was
Eerhaps better after all that the General
ad not been, elected President. Gen.
Hancock concurred heartily in this ex
pression, and said that he nad no regrets
whatever on the subject. While in
Washington ho was the recipient of a
great deal of social attention, and was a
favored and honored guest in the house
hold of a number of leading republicans.
He expressed nimself as much pleased
and gratified with his visit. He was
told of an.uttcrance of Gov. Jewell, the
chairman of the republican national com
mittee, mado last September, to the ef
fect that he had so much respect for Gen.
Hancock that be would allow nothing
personally abusive of him to emanate
from republican headquarters. Gen.
Hancoek said this was a real compliment
to be said in September, when the partis
an fever was at its height. He added
laughingly that everyone said pleasant
things of him now, a3 wc were all at
peact?.- . r

somewhat on whether a gentleman will
