The office seekers complain that the President moves exasperatingly slow in the matter of making changes in the vartous federal offices, and as @ result they are compelled to hang around Washingtog, pay heavy hotel bills and in the end have no assurances that they will et acbance al government pap. It is noted Uhat the raid upon the Pr mt to make changes in some of the more important offices is nearly as great as though there had beena chapge in the administration in a political sense. It is amusing, too, to note the grounds upon which the office-hunters demand recog- nition. Oxe applicant will urge preferment because he was allied with the forces which op) Gen.

WEATHER LOGIC OF OFFICE SEEKERS, ‘There were very few people at the White House to-day. The snow storm may have kept Some away this morning. Usually, however, tbe worse the weather the larger the number of visitors, They seem to think that the bad Weather will keep others away and they will have the better chance of sccing the President. Secretartes Windom and Biatne were tue only two members of the cabiuet who called. They came separately. Among those who saw the President were Senators Dawes, Ingalls, Slat= Walker and Sawyer, and Representatives Val- eptine, Aldrich (li.), Keifer, Hazelton, Du: nell, Miller (Pa.).

SECRETARY WINDOM’S INTENTIONS. From an examination of the various laws in reference to the national loans, it is believed that there fs suficient authority under existing law to enable the Treasury department, wiih the ald of the surplus revenues and a portion of the aysiiable cash pow on hand, to provide for &t least three hundred millions of the maturi bonds, without using the one hundred and tive mnljilons still unissued of the funding bonds authorized by the act of 1570. Under acis passed in 1S62 and 1sé4, authority was given the Seere- tary of the Treasury to accept depostts as a temporary loan from persons or banking a330- Clations to an amount not exceeding $150,000,000, and bearing Interest at not less than 6 per cent perannum. It Is belleved that now that an extra session of Congress has been practically decidea against, the Secretary of the Treasury Wil endeavor to borrow money temporarily under these acts to the full amount autnorized at 3 orisy percent per annum, and tuatt amount thus borrowed will be applied to t TedempUon of the maturing bonds.

ON IN THE U.S. NAVY TAKES TEN GRAINS OF MORPHINE, A most saddening sensation was created on Thureday last at the Tremont House, 24 and Indiana avenue, by the attempted suiciie of Dr. E, S. Matthews, a surgeon in thet. S. navy, ranking as commodore, who, whilst su— fering under a temporary aberration of mind, asiohed by the loo free use of strong drink, took ten grains of morphine, and narrowly escaped death. It appears that the unfortunate gentleman, who ts a toan of polished education, Marked refinement and recognized ability in Lis profession, had become addicted to the use of opium, which led to tudulgence in liquor a3 Well, to a degree Which Unreatened to produce Glsastrous results. A short tlme siuce, 1t 1s Stated, he was suspended from duty, and re- duced to half pay, which intitction produced a most depressing effect. Ten days ago he ar- rived in this clly—bis place of resid2nce—and ae up his quarters at the Tremont Hous Was noticed that he was drinking heavily, aud that he was also sui- fering’ irom a seeming melancholia, which was altogether unnatural to the man. | On Wednesday night last he evidenced symp- tema f insanity, but retired to bed ata late was bot seen again until Thursday merbing.

No Extra Session. THE PRESIDENT 80 DECIDES. Secretary Windom had a conference th's morning with President Garfield. After Mr, Windom’s departure, it was oMicially announced both at the White House and at the Treasury department that it had been decided not to call an exiza session of Congress.

President Gafeid has been opporea toit all along. ‘The only member of the cab- inet who ned it with any degree of force was Secretary Blaine. the question never received much attention. If an extra session had been called it would have been simply for financial reasons. The view that the President, it 1s understood on good a- thority, took in regard to the matter Was that it Congress should be call d now, It would De as Uncertain DOW as ever {fa three Or a three ana a half per cent funding bill should be adopted. Congress as LOW constituted would undoubt- edly, it was thought, favor a three per cent loan, There would be nothing m the way of experience to base legislation on. But by avoiding an extra session and allowing the Secretary of the Treasury to dispose of the remaining fours—$10s,'4/0,000—to the best advantage, a basis could be formed for legislation. ~The circumstances attending the sale of the fours would show whether it is be’- ter to fix the rate of interest at three or three-and-a-half per cent.
