Cftice-seeking and Office-scekers at Wash- Mgton. “What news from Washington? who has been appointed?’ Such is the query which every other man has addressed to his neighbor at least half a dozen times aday during the last fortnight. Other topics of conversation have lost their interest. The fall in cotton, the pros- pects of the money market, the news from Eu- rope, and even the Aldermen, attract compara- tively little or no attention. Startling bits of gossip about official corruption are barely lis- tened to, and the retailer of a delicious anecdote concerning the new Empress actually fails to secure an audience, Nothing is marketable but news from the eapital. Washington letters are eagerly fished out of the newspapers, and the | most ridiculous surmises of ignorant correspond- ents are made the subject of grave comment and | serious anxiety. The chances of rival candi- dates fluctuate like fancy stocks. Jenkins gose up on Thursday, but Snooks’ arrival, with a pretty wife. depreciates him on Friday. and on Saturday knowing operators will rot touch any- thing but Brown, who has three editors, two Senators, and one Irish patriot in his sleeve. If such be the state of matters in New York, no one will be surprised to learn that the capi- tal presents a still more striking appearance. There the agony of office-seeking has reached its climax. Hosts of expectante have travelled thousands of miles to put in their plea for a snug berth. Hotels, boarding-houses, and even private dwellings, are crammed from basement to attic ith candidates for Presidential favor—a garret, with a truekle bed anda tin wash basin, is worth $3 or $4a night. Reams of paper are consumed in letters of introduction and certiticates of | eapacity. To hear of the persecution which the President is undergoing. and of the business- like management of those who are supposed to possess influence at court—to see the crowds of poor fellows who are spending their last cent in the campaign, and whose anxious faces and nervous manner remind one of gamblers round a roulette table--to study the skilful manauvring and cunning devices of the pro- fessional office secker, one might fancy, without any great stretch of imaginetion, that all the gold of California was about to be distributed in handfuls from the steps of the White House. A sad thing it is, indeed, and by no means a maiter of selfcongratulation, that all this in- triguing, and racing, and hoping. and fearing, and begging. and promising. and threatening— not to speak of more shameful practices—are set on foot and stimulated by the prospect of We speak less as moralists Many good things and true might be said in deprecation of the mania for wearing livery with which some “ has gone as far as she can, and preserve peace”"— menare affliected—much to the purpose on the "this continent, the whole of it, must be free from | folly of bartering one’s honest independence for farther British aggression.” We are informed that President Pierce has alveady received semi official in- formation with regard to the recent operations of the { | English steamer Devastation against Hondaras, | which will probably be sentto the Senate before its adjournment.

Such is suecessful office-seck- ing. Bitter as may be the disappointment of the hundreds who retarn from Washington, after secing the prize on which they had set their heart become the prey of a rival, we al- most feel inclined to envy them when we con- trast their prospects with thoge of their more successful competitors. There may be a few among the latter, whom, if a salaried sinecure be an object of envy to an honest man, it might be possible to congratulate. There are men, we know, lacking the energy and self-reliance reqnisite for snceese when thrown on their same yy sharing the beggarly booty which the service | of the Si . Onur special correspondent intimates that he did not | Of the State offers “pi | than as mere men of business. To complain ef the system of awarding “ the spoils to the victors,” as it is popularly phrased, would be a waste of words. Something is due to long established custom. No one, we im- agine. conceives it to be for the benefit of the country that an efficient clerk should be dis- charged to make room for a raw hand, because the former happens to be a democrat and the President a whig, or vice versa. But when an abuse of this nature has taken root, it requires ® giant’s strength to remove it. Party feeling and vindictiveness, or at least a natural desire for retaliation; are arrayed: on its side. The memory of one proscription makes another a necessity. Politicians must become better Christians be- fore they can deny themselves the sweet gratifi- cation of their revenge and their ambition at the same time. Moreover, the custom has wrought out, ina certain measure, its own cure. The knowledge that a large number of appointments will be in the gift of each President has stocked Washington with a formidable array of tolerably competent men of both parties. Many have al- ready served, and as there are at least ten ap- plicants for each vacant post, it rarely happens that the President is forced to select a very un- fitincumbent. This we note in mitigation, notin justification, ofthe practice. Aided by judicions management on the part of the cabinet, we be- lieve it may avail something to correct the evil. Asimilar benefit would attend the extension of each Presfdent’s term of office to eight years by a re-election. Where the conduct of the chief ruler is such that the people can safely entrust him a second time with the destinies of the country, we should, on this as much as on any other grounds, warmly recommend the practice. Tur Fare or Mexico.—The disorganized and wretched condition of Mexico has, for a long time past. furnished a fertile theme for the con- sideration and speculations of journalists and statesmen, and has very naturally attracted great attention in this republic. But it has at the same time absorbed no less an amount of atiention in Europe, but more especially in England and France. The idea of this Ameri- can Union being still further augmented by the annexation of the extensive States composing the Mexican federation is one which can with difficulty be reconciled to these powers, jealous of cur progress and dreading our preponder- ance in the scale of nations. This is the last remedy—the dernier ressort—which could be had recourse to for the rescue of Mexico from | the evils with which it has been so grievously | afflicted. Therefore, every means:calculated to impede, postpone, or defeat the ascomplishment of this apparently inevitable event, has been and will be eagerly snatched at; and in this sentiment we have perhaps the:clue to some re- cent movements that have taken place in Cen- tral America-end Sonora. The French press has, however, just disco- vered a specific which is warranted, if adopted. to restore Mexico to its former prosperity, The only great difficulty in the way is, that the United States might not be disposed to consent to the arrangement. The remedy lies in the voluntary resumption by Mexico of its anciens bonds of fealty and allegiance to Spain, or. at least, in the reforming of her government into a monarchy, with one of the Castilfan princes of the blood on the throne. The idea is sucha capital one that we are induced to give a few extracts from an article embodying it. published in the Paris Constitutionnel of the 21st ult.,and which, we have no doubt, will awaken some at- tention among our statesmen, by indicating how the current of opinion runs in Europe in rela- tion to the affairs of this continent :— A republic is not suited to the Mexicans. This has been sufficiently proved by thirty years of trou- ble. The Spanish sovereigns had elevated the pros-. perity and greatness of the colonies; independence and the republic have launched them into a state of dissolution and ruin, of which the cause is evi- dent. Since exhausted Mexico has no more than the choice of a master, we would prefer to see her return, on certain conditions, into the arms of the Spanish monarchy, rather than to see her pass under the dependence of the government of Washington. But if that is too great an effort of reason for the Mexican people, let them atleast have the wisdom to return to the monagchical system, ana let them demand from the race of their ancient monarchs some prince whose ancestors have been connected with the old administration of the country. * * * A Laid monarchy could not be installed in Mexico except by the aid of foreign powers. We ape com- pletely ignorant what would be the dispositions of the various governments in 4hat respect, but it ap- pears to us beyond doubt that England, for example, repents to-day of the attitude taken by her when the Spanish colonies revolted and tiberated themselves. She has since perceived the fault which she then com- mitted. Of this we need no further proof than the entirely opposite oonduct which she follows in the matter of Cuba, and her honest cfforts to preserye that possession to the crown of Spain. If the sentiments embodied in the foregoing extract indicate the latent poliey of France and England they will find that they are somewhat in the condition of the man who would reckon without his host. To set them right, therefore, as to the course which the United States is pre- pared to adopt in case of any such attempted interference in the affairs of this continent, we recommend fo their attentive perusal the inangu- ral address of the actual President of the United States. If the contents of that document could have been known when the article in the Con- stitutionnel was penned, we venture to say that no such suggestion would ever haye been made as that counselling Mexico to return to her former condition as a Spanish province. In the meantime, Santa Anna has returned to Mexico. and we may soon expect to see decisive mea- sures taken to organize a strong and efficient government, instead of those vacillating and revolutionary imitations which have been re- cently palmed off on that unfortunate republic, War ws Wats Strreet—Saockixa Discro- si nes.—The great civie reform movement, which has already been productive of such strange and incredible events in the metropolis, seems now about to be rendered still more piquant, spicy, and interesting, by a desperate cxterminatiog | conflict just commenced between two of our illustrious Wall street editors. There was a terrible commotion in that region yesterday. caused by the publication of the first cartels between the belligerent partics. The very lulls and bears, on reading them, ceased growling, and were, as it were, awed into a temporery calm. They have not yet recovered from their astonishment, but watch with the ut- most interest the pregrees of this diveful en- counter, It would seem that one of the Wall street blankets—the Courier and Inguirer—has become poesessed, according to its own story of a document, verified on oath, charging some- one, supposed to be one of the editors of the reformative Journal of Commerce, the other blanket, with being guilty of one of the very acts which have of late days so much excite | the indignation of that pereonage. In a. paper one day leet week, commenting upon the depravity of our city government, and the motives actuating some of its opponents in the great reform movement set s foot, it wae broadly stated that someone had, on a certain occasion. actually attempted to bribe one of our incorruptible Aldermen in his official capacity. Of course such a charge could not be permitted to go unanswered, as silence would be naturally construed into a virtual admission of the fact. Therefore, in yester- day’s issue, the Journal publishes the following fierce communication from one of its editors, showing the war to be of so interesting a nature that we are induced to give both parties the benefit of our circulation, to make the casus belli better known to the public :— Conoress Hau, ALBANY, } Saturday, March 12, 1853. { The Courier and fog roan in its leader of Thurs- he a tp ‘king under the e paper especi wor! over of political meektality baa aa IF its business to bring whig officers of the city J gige rs intoodium, whereas, in truth, four-fifths of the official malfeasance with which we are cursed is of democratic orign. We mi easily show what such attacks are worth, by the publica- tion of a sworn affidavit in our hands, from an ex: Alder- lpating aseailant in this case in an attempt, a8 Ce agent of a corporation, to bribe him ca] ity. I demand te know, throngh the columns of that print, whether I am the person intended, and if so, that the alleged affidavit be published. I have been here since 7 last, shall not be pens in New York, excep’ Sones , for some days. On ive this matter prompt yaaa to the city 1 attention. Geo. B. BurLER. ‘Now, then. let us see what the valiant editor of the Courier will respond to this resolute de- mand. Willhe publish the affidavit alluded to, with a full. accurate, and reliable history of the whole affair? Ifhe is able to substantiate his charge, why even the indictments against the Aldermen will be placed in the shade by this new and more interesting phase in the move- ments of the day; but if not, then he must cry peccavi, make his confession, and solicit pardon at the hands of the incensed editor of the Jour- nal. Wall street is amazed at the magnitude of the impending conflict, and it is said that already immense bets are laid upon the issue. Stand aside, and let us have a fair fight, and no shirking. Ramroap Rovre to tae Pactric—Rerort or CommissioneR Barrierr.—While Mr. Bart- i lett, the commissioner of the Mexican boundary line, was engaged on that important work, he took the opportunity of exploring the country in reference to one of the three proposed railroad routes to the Paviftc--namely, the most southerly of them—and he has reported on the subject to the government. An exploring party has been sent out there to make a minute and accurate survey ; but, meantime, Mr. Bartlett’s report, which is the result of a more rough and hasty examination, will be read with deep interest. Information on this subject is eagerly sought efter at the present time, and as erroncous views are entertained in regard to it by many, we have procured.a copy of this valuable doc- ument, to which we refer the readers in another column. There are three great routes now before the public by which ii is proposed to construct a railroad. The first of these is from Missouri through the well-known South Pass of the Rocky Mountains, and-thence to San Fran¢isco. This route is very direct, and. doubtless, the shortest. The second. to cross the Rocky Moun- tains at a point west of Albuquerque; and the third. from a point north of and near El Paso del Norte, on the Rio Grande. Each of these routes has its advantages and disadvantages, as we showed a short time ago in an editorial ar- ticle on the subject. In a work of such map- nitude as the proposed railroad, a thorough ex- amination shouldbe made. by experienced engi- neers. of the several routes mentioned; after which the government can determine the one that has the greatest advantages, and act ae- accordingly. Mr. Bartlett, as we have said, across the continent. explored the region south of the Gila, where it‘is proposed to run one of the lines, or that extendiag west from or near E} Paso. This is the raute which is particularly interesting to Texas,.and which, should it be adopted, may hgve i terminus within that State. One advantage which would accrue from the route south of the Gila:and across the nor‘hern States of Mexico is. that it would open a more direct communication with these States than now exists, and enable us to supply them with necessaries of life. which are now obtained from other sources. This is an important considera | tion, ;But we do not advocate any particular | route. Let that which is best on the whole be adopted. | Talk on ‘Change. The conversation turned on the character of the news by the Afries. The state and prospects ordhe English money marke: were considered favorable, and it was be- Kieved that, should peace be maintained, espe sitlly between France and England, there wes nothing in the future to prevent great abundance of money, caused by the influx of Australian gold, Private letterseeceived by the Africa apeak of large receipts of gold expected by early arrivals. The ship Three Bells, from Port Philip, with £310,000 in gold dust, had been the only arrival of inportance sines the 12th «f January. There were 199 vessels (comprising 90,000 tom) joading for Australia. The steamship Australia, of the Australian Meil Steamship Company, had sailed from Plymouth, with £300,000 in specie, and 200 muil | bags. It was estimated by some that the steamship {| Great Britain, now duc, would bring a large amount of gold. The receipts of gold in England within the next four or five months were expected to reach over 250,- 000,000, It was believed that some orders came out for purchases of Southern flour, on Australian account, The eommercial character of the news, as far as cotton and flour were concerned, was unfavorable. Tho forwer was dull, while flour was six and a quarter cents per ber rellower. Wheat was nominally the Mme, while orn sold rather freely at about former rates. In conversation regarding the propriety of disorimi nating between the railroads of the State, by regulating the tolls of the central roads, while others were exomy was net approved of by some merchants who epoke subject. Railroads, at best, cannot carry fr winter it is a great convenience to the public for th ¢oro The opinion was, that were these roads | out inter’erence in their tolls, the canal receipts be about the same. And, at best, there were no urgeat reasons for legislative interference. By taxing the cen tral roads, an undue, if not unjust, discrimination in favor of the competing railroad lines of Pennsylyauia 15 made. If freights cannot come over our rowds on fa. vorable terms, they must reach tide water through Penprylvania. There was some conversation respecting the land/ag of emigrant passengers, by small boats, from ships in the A REFORM MEETING OF THE YOUNG MEN'S DEMO- while conducting the boundary commission | : } of a similar character have be Otty Ponties. ORATIC UNION OLUB. At a meeting of the members of this Club, convened for the purpose of making arrangements for & mass meeting ‘of the demoeracy, to take into consideration the proposed reform in our city government, the fcllowing preamble and resolution were adopted :-— ‘Whereas, The late astounding frauds and mismanage- ment in the affairs of our city government have most justly called forth the indignation of the mass of our Citizens, avd require immediate reform; and, whereas, the democratic republican party is most vitally interest- ed in any amendments to. or alterations in, our eity char- ter, be should be vigilont in seeing the requisite reforms ; and, also, believing that the democratic mpopiens arty constitute the fountain head from which oll pol ated and Nernteeid the masses of the com- munity should emanate, therefore Rest ‘That « vigilauee committee of thirty-one be appointed. to take into consideration the pro altera- tlene iu the city charter, and secure suel alterations as will benefit all cla-ses of the community alike, and ac- tually reform the abuses which have lately been exposed, and If requisite, eall » ass meeting of the democracy at the tarliest day practicable. ‘A committee of the following gentlemen was then ap: pointed :-— James T.

Removal OF BRADY'S DAGUERREAN Rooms.—The removal of Mr M. B, Brady’s laguerrean gallery to No. 359 Broadway, was inaugurated last evening. A very larzo number of h ly fashionable persons were in attendance, among whom we obverved Mayor Westervelt, General Sanford and ron, Udgen Hoffman, Alfred Beach, and any number of handsome ladies. The gallery, dressing-room, operating-reom, and al! the appurtenances of Mr. Brady's new locale were examined by his numerous visiters, and were found extremely neat and well-fitted up, and, of course, elicited commendatory remarks from all’ present. Mr. Brady furnished a magpificent supper to his guests, and the evening passed off very pleasantly to all present. Ross's Heprsw anv Encusu Dicrionary.—This work was sent to the World’s Fair in London, and was examined by a committee of the most learned Oriental scholars in Europe, and pronouncet by them to be the best work of the kind extant. A gold medal and an elegantly bound report of the Jurora were awarded, and forwarded to the President of the United States, and a letter, in the Presi- dent’s own handwriting, sent on to the learned professor, notifying him of the fact. This, therefore, settles the character of the work for ever. Tuk Vouonteer Bexerit.—How much money did the Volunteers receive at the recent benefit?
