The summer dullness of Washington has been enlivened for the past week or more by Scores of Nortn Carolina gentlemen, the ma- jority of hem democrats, who wat office. First came Judge Leeen. He wanted an of- fice awful bad. His favorite diversion -cemed to be to bang around the lobby of the Ebbitt house, and, surrounded by a score of hungry “tar beels,” expatiate on how he could wake up the dead whig party in the Old North State, which wouid carry every- tuing before it like a whirlwind, provided each ember who fell into the ranks could have an office. Leech exhauste1 himself in about @ fortnight, went home disgruntled, and is evidently now ruminating how Pre- sident Hayes can expect to suceeel usless Leech gets an office and galvanizes the corpse Of the defanct political party. Next came a score of worn out political hacks with charges against Colonel Douglass. They fought bim persistently fora week or more, and when it was develo; that the Attorney General wanted the evidence of more than & detective under a cloud to remove him, they, too, became solicitous as to the righteous- ness of the southern policy, actually bor- rowed money from the very one they bad een perseeuting, and” then went bome dejected. Some stiil remain, however, who don’t give up so easily. Day after day the President Is bored with some Norti Carolina gentleman, “b> gawd sir,” who “ft" in the coufederacy, who makes promi- ses of what be can do if he's ouly saddled oa the public er.b. By some strange coinel- dence bree of them are after the same office. peel On the street, hay- social con- Se together, drink Apple Jack out of the same bottle d simply goto the President and herate one another. The upshot is that the President has apparently come to the conclusion that the North Carolina gang are epoad lot, and takes the evidence they themselves give him for that very logical conclusion. In view of the political majority North Caroliva didu’t give for Hayes, he is doubtless willing to let the office hunters rom that state wait awhile to the end what he may ascertain who are aud Who are not wortby of bis contidence. If they keep on abusing one another as they have done he will soon lose all faith in the goodoess of any of thein. engineers’ cor Russian IMMIGRATION RETARDED Four families of Menonnites who arrived a Castle Garden yesterday from Alt Dansig, in northwestern Rassia, tells @ story which may throw light upon the slight number of arrivals from Russia since the war. the, and that each had a sufficient amount of money to found comfortable homes in the New World. The money, however, was all in the sbape of Russian paper. and on their lat the frontier of Germany they found that it bad deteriorated so much tn consequence of the war that to sell it would cause @ loss of at least forty five per cent. At the same time it had par value in their old homes. About thirty of the families at once refused to proceed, and returned to Alt Dan- fig. preferring to remain there than to risk the uncertainties of a new land at a cost of nearly one-half o; their present capital. The four fam, lies who came on have left to join the Russian-Protestant colony near Lincula, Neb.—(N. Y.

A general fight at once resulted, and for @ few minutes the scene was a lively one. The umbrelilaed man finally picked up a moustard and threw it at the portly #: tor, but the missile struck the uplifted hand of the head employe in the saloon, nearly severing one of the fingers. When an Ameri- can District Telegrapu officer entered the piace both sides argued that be was in the Wrong, and accordingly pounded him dread- fully.
