TUESDAY. APRIL 9. 1861. vee, XVII. RICHARD RUSTY SEEKS AN OFFICE. BY THE YOUN@ ’UN. Mr. Richard Rusty desired an office under the new administration, and he went to Wash- ington to get it. At home, Rusty was known as plain “Dick” —Dick Rusty—high Private in the ‘Volunteer Minute Guard,” at Squam. Dick Rusty had ’iled his seven dollar coat severely, bearing a torch in the Wide Awake Processions,—he had served as under Seer tary at the town and county conventions, he was the very first man, in his neighborheod, who hed th ought of “Old Abe” for President, and he getermined to be ‘counted in,” sure, afte. inauguration. And so, earpet-bag in «and, one fine morning recently, he found himself jogging up Peansylvania Avenue, in the great city of “‘vuitures, hacks, and mag- nificent distances.’’ Washington is a very nice plac Dick had his ‘“‘papera’’ with him—to wit, afew badly spelled and worse written vouchers for his good character and “‘sterling’’ political principles, and knowing himself (in his own esteem) sound on the goose, upon reaching Washington he sailed in for the little government office he coveted in his native town. Having carefully enveloped his credentials, he started them to the Department to which they were addressed, and triumphantly sat himself down in the garret room of his board- ing-house, to await an answer from the Hon. Secretary. And thus he waited. One day—two, three, five—a week, exp:red. But no reply by post, as he had expected! Now, this wasa very singular circumstance, (in Mr. Rusty’s opinion) and the delay very unusual, in his experience. Indeed, after a time, it came to look very much like a slight towards him. What con/d it mean? He wrote to enquire why his “little matter’? had not been attended to. He got no reply to this, either! Again he addressed the Department upon the same sub- ject. But he received no answer. This was an outrage. Whereupon, having waited an- other week, he determined, valianily, to ‘know the reacon why.’’ Mr. Rusty had not omitted to stir up the Hon. Representative from his District, (who assured him he would “‘look into his case’’), and then he waited once more. He found the County Editor, too, who chanced to be alzo an applicant for place, and Ae promised to attend to Mr. Rusty directly. And again he waited. Still no reply. And thus four weeks run on, and Rusty's money run out. Astonished and exasperated, ho started at length for the Departmentin person. He found at least six hundred persons there before him, all religiously bent on an errand similar to his own! He waited six mortal hours in the great windy passage-way, where he was squeezed, and elbowed. and jammed, and nearly suffoca- ted; but stiil he struggled for his “turn.” He got sight of the inner door just in season tosee the llonorable Secretary emerge and pass out to his carriage, for Aome. Business was over for the day, and the mob rushed down the stairs and retired. But Richard Rusty, of Squam, was a man of business; so he followed up his object next day, and the next, and the next. At last he suc- ceeded in getting inside, where the following colloquy ensued ‘Good morning, Mr Secretary,” says Rusty, confidently; and he grasps the Secretary's hand Tike a “son of Malta” who has passed his twenty-third degree. “Good morning,”’ responds the Hon. Seore- tary, blandly * Mr. Rusty—Richard Rusty, sir,”’ adds our friend Yes; very happy, Mr. Rusty. From Jn- diana’ queries the Secretary, slily. ** No, str—no.”* “Oh—ah, no. From Illinois, then?” “No, sir. From Squam,” says Rusty, mod- estly “Squam’? Yes, yes. remember. Squam— Mains, I think id z No, sir. Connecticut.’* “Ab, yes. Verybappy. Yes, Connecticut; Rusty Squam. I know now.” Mir. Rusty fidgets. So does the Secretary. Each is desirous to get out of the other’s pres- ence as soon as possible. And Mr. Rusty is duly referred, with his papers, to File Clerk No. 21, who (he is informed) “ takes charge’’ of his documents. Rusty retires in high glee. In his own judgment, he bas won. He waitsagain. Three day:—five, a week— a fortnight; but he hears noth: and then he ventures to wait upon Mr. File Clerk No. 21, where he inquires about his “little affair.” No. 21 has five bushels of unopened lette bis tabie when Rusty enters. “« What name, sir?” he asks. Richard Rusty.” unter is not a little nettled to learn, as he now does for the first time, from the file clerk, that Messrs. Busty, Casty, Dus- ty, Fusty, Gusty, Husty, Justy, Kusty (lager r manufacturer.) Lusty, Musty, Nusty, and Pasty, are all before him—on the lift of a pli- eants; for, unfortunately, our friend fran Squam is away down among the R’s! But Mr. Tile, clerk No. 21, is a patient man, and polite. He has been in office a dozen ears, and “will do anything to oblige Mr. usty,”’ (except to give hi any lucid infor- mation.) And so No. 21 refers the applicant to Mr. White, No. 44, flext room overhead. Up goes Rusty Mr. White sends him to Mr Buf, fourth clerk, No. 56, up two flights fur- ther. Mr. Buff knows nothing of Mr. « Rusty Squam’s”’ case, but thinks a Mr. Drab can in- form him about it. Mr. Drab can’t say, cer- tain, but directs the tired but patient enquirer to Mr. Redd, down stairs, three flights, end of third passage, to the left—north. Rusty has no compass with him (and really couldn't use it, if he had !) but he finds his man. Mr. Redd is very busy, and very short, but has no doubt that Mr. Gray, (whose duty it is to attend to things) can inform Mr. Sguvamty “ what to do about it.” He finds Mr. Gray. Mr. Gray sends him to Mr. Green. Mr. Green forwards bim to Mr. pa speaks English very indifferently.) Mr. Bloé despatches him to Mr. Brown, ( are thirty-seven Browns on the same floor,) and Mr. Brown hands him over to Mr. Black, up stairs, once more. Mr. ik knows nothing whatever of Mr. Rusty, or his a. and never heard of him or them —but civilly refers him back to Mr. White, tarted from. iy time Richard Rusty is disgusted, and, thoroughly beaten out with running over the stone stairs, he concluded to go to his - Next day he commences once more, and gets lost in the multifarious windings and turns of the t Department building. Be- fore hehad time to get his bearings again, of- fice hours have expired, and he returns again to bis boarding-nouse attic, to ruminate upon the mutability of human affairs generally, and of office-seeking especially, concluding with the philosophical sentiment, that * Jordan is a hard road to travel.” Desperate, next day, he finds “file clerk No. 21,”’ with whom he originally deposited his pa- rs, and indignantly demands his documents. er waiting several hours, and making dili- gent search, with his papers in his hand he is admitted to the presence of the Secretary,with whom—amid his despair and disappointment— a has “‘a bone to pick.”” “I’m Mr. Rusty,” he says, abruptly, as he enters. “Glad to see you.”’ responds the Secretary. “ Yes; Ts’ so,"’ says Rusty. en rom, Mr. ee = “* Where /rom?”* exclaims the applicant, who fmm’ understand why the Hon. !

Mr. Richard Rusty, in his rage, deliberately tears his documents into shreds, and scatters them in the grate, exclaiming— “It’s all right, Mr. Secretary. I’ve been fooled, Jhave. I come here all the way from Squam, spent nigh a hund’ed dollars, worn out two good pair o' boots a-trottin’ up an’ down these steps, and I give it up—I do. Tl go home to-morrow; an’ if you ever catch me a-seekin’ office in this high old town again, you may just cut my throat, an’ I won't grumble. Good bye, Mr. Hon’able Sec’tary.”” ‘Good bye,”’ responds the head of the De- poe: with a smile; and Mr. Richard Rusty retires, packs his carpet-bag, and re- tures to Squam. a wiser and a better man. How many “Richard Rustys”’ have returned from Washington this season, with such a big “flea in the ear’’ as the above denotes? Certes, more than one !—Traveller. Snide The Fugitive Slave Rendition in Chicago— Exciting Chase. [From the Chicago Times, April 4 ] The colored elements were discordant yester- day. The excitement attendant upon the ex- plosion of a fow feline banks or the premature discharge of an infernal machine was a zephyr in comparison with the tempest that raged among the wool yesterday. About 6 o'clock in the morning the denizens in and about the corner of Clark and Jackson streets were startled by of wild and unearthly screams, in which ‘‘kidnapper” was the only pst apres sound. An pnts stood uietly on Clark street, drawn up in front of No. 231. Ina moment a posse of men came scrambling down stairs with a stout negro and negress and three piccaninnies, aged rospect- ively four, six, and eight yea: The negro and negress fought like tigers, and notwith- standing the fact that they wero heavily ironed, gave the aforesaid posse a lively time. At last they got into the omnibus, the Jehu cracked his whip, and away went the captured and their capturers at a sweepin; allop towards the St. Louis, Alton, and Chicago railroad depot. By the time the screams of the pris- oners had aroused the black element. The word ‘kidnapper’ acted like magic ose them, and with wild, demoniacal yells, t ey started in hot pursuit of the omnibus. On they swept, several hundred exssperated ne- groes, hatless, shocloss, and coatiess, like a vengeful cloud of animated anthracite Too late. The omnibus reached the depot, where a special train, consisting of a locomo- tive and a single cur, was in waiting. The prey were put on board, and as the dar- iescame upon the bridge their maddened yells were answered by a mocking shriek from the locomotive as it dashed off southward Forty-five minutes after it passed Joliet, a dis- tance of 45 miles—making nearly a mile a minute! Let us go back. Two weeks ago a slave named Harris, together with his wite and three children, escaped from their master in St. Louis, and came by the “underground” to this city, where they have been kept in close con- cealment ever since, in the house of a colored drayman, No. 251 Clark street. Information having been gained of their whereabouts, U. S. Commissioner Cornean, of the Southern District of Illinois, issued a warrant for their arrest, which was served yesterday morning, as afore- said, by Deputy Marshal Webb and a ie of officers A special train was chartered tocon- vey the prisoners to Springfield, where an ex- amination would be had before Commissioner Corneau. The rage of the negroes, after the departure of the train, knew no bounds. Some malicious wag took advantage of their excita- bility, and made them believe that the train would have to switch off for wood and water, and that they could easily intercept it at Bridgeport. The hint was instantly acted upon. Hacks, drays, express wagons, etc., were im- mediately brought into active r ition, and away dashed the motley cavalcade tor Bridge- port. About an hour after the train had passed they arrived upon the ground armed with guns, axes, crowbars, picks, knives, clubs, and every conceivable variety of weapons. Find- ing themselves completely baulked again, they got up asmart little fight among themselves, “for the fun of the thing.” Returning, they accused a colored man of conniving at the capture of slaves. He denied it. A fight ensued, in which he got terribly pounded. He managed to escape, and-sought refuge in his house, whither he was pursued byan armed body of savages, who declared they would kill him. They surrounded his house, and were scaling the upper windows with a ladder, when Deputy Rehm, with the entire police force of the city, suddenly ap- peared upon the frees A sharp fight en- sued, in which the darkies got worsted for their wool. The police took possession of the hunted negro, and forming a hollow *quare around him, moved off towards the armory. Several ineffectual efforts were made to get him out of their possession, which resulted only in adozen broken scalp§ and the arrest of seven of the ringleaders, each of whom has given special bail for trial. And thus ended another dark page. FortIFIcATIONS AT PgNsacoLa.—The editor of the Pensacola Gazette visited the defences at Bar- raucas last Saturday; though for obvious reasons he ts silent about what he saw, he ventures the following remark : “We took a peep at the mysteries of old San Carlos de Barrancas. What we saw there we shall not fully disclose. We saw enough to con- vince us that when the game of bowling iron balls across the channel that separates Barrancas from Pickens cummences, that Slemmer will dis- cover that he has underrated the strength and eficiency of this fort. The weakest side of Pickens 1s exposed to the Barrancas, and If the bricks don’t fly from Slemmer’s powder house, then we are mistaken, that’s all.
