In PhiladlfefiTa^lone they think that ten places worth #50,000 "and perquisites" am surely theirs. Iu Connecticut the prices are smaller and the appetite of the office-seekers are even stronger. Iu view of the Civil Service law, the position of these spoll-aeekere is not altogether a happy one, although they do not seem to know it. (UTAooording to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury the receipts of the Government from all sources during the last fiscal year were #3*28,- 51939 and the dlsbusements 8323 911, 394.35.

All readers of that journal known well with what haste it rushed to the embrace of the Demo cratic party after the nomination at Chicago of James G. Blaine, (the pub lication of whose book was not given to the house of the Harpers,) and with what ardent zeal it labored during the whole campaign to put luto the hands of the said Democratic party the sovereign power of the United States, employing to that end all the resources of Its Ncut-j cartoons and Its polished editor'6 pen, apparently forgetting t^ow, formerly, it ceuld not lampoon Democrats with sufficient severity. ' In view of all this, the full page car toon in its Issue of two weeks ago is something wonderful. In it this same Democratic party, with witich the "Weekly has been clapped in such cordial embrace, is portrayed under its old by in bo 1 of the Tiger, this time couch ant and fierce, while vultures perch and fcoar in the background, aud beneath Is the legend: ".Beware /or he is very hungry and very thirsty!"

WASHINGTON, DOC. *, l&U. The newspaper prophet in Washing ton, after he taUilons a cabinet lor the Presldt'tii-elect to ft|* own Intense satisfaction, is fully prepared for more arduous labor, and is now busy In plan ning the work of Congress with great zest, it seems to have struck him that possibly Mr, Cleveland ninv have a voice In th« selecting or Ills cabinet. Members who have arrived in the city express the opinion that Congress w||l not find time this session to at tempt any very Important legislation. Besides the appropriation bills, the land grant forfeiture question' will probably be taken up. and It pramlsea to bring about a long and bitter fight. Some of the members, however have not given up the idea of tackling the tarjfi. and say that something should be'd^ne this session. Mr. Morrison, It Is understood. Is primed for another fight. He looks upon the success of the Democratic party as an indorsement «f tariff reform, and ha* expressed the opinion that something should be done this winter to reduce the reyenne. If Congress Is disposed, however, to make a busy and eventful session of It, there Is no lack of material In the sh ipe of pending legislation. There is, for in stance. the silver coinage question, which urgently calls for attention. A very'respectable element is calling for a bankruptcy law; there Is a great de sire in legal and business circles for action which shall inexpedite the work of the Supre ne Court; much remains to be settled respecting the relations of railroads and land corporations to the Government;and there ate various private canal and railroad schemes to which Congress will be asked to give a helping hand; the pension laws are not yet satisfactory to some influential classes: and the friends of the shipping interests look upon last winter's legis lation as merely preliminary, and are anxious to follow it up by broader measures; the education bill presents its claims to the House; and two or three territories which have now a large and ambitious population are clamoring for the rights and dignities of States. It will be seen readily, therefore, that even if Congress pre fers to ignore the tariff and follow pre cedents pretty closely in the appropri ations, there is an abundance of Im portant subjects upon which it can profitably speud the winter. Among the first questions presented at the Capitol to-day will he a resolu tion in the House calling for adiplo matic investigation of the action of the French in prosecuting work on the Panama canal, and ,declaring iu favor of the American policy of predomi nance on this continents. Several lead ing Democrats have the matter in charge, aud it Is Indeed gratifying to see some Inclination towards enforce ment of the Monroe doctrine. The representatives of the three great Isthmian inter-oceanic transit pro|ects are gathered here In anticipation of some actson by Congress on this Im portant question. The Panama people are simply anxious to b«> let alone. The Nlcaragnan people are willing to take anything they can get. James B. Eads, the father of the Tehauntepic scheme, went to Loudon last summer to get some money. I don't under stand that he got any there. But he has apparently gotten some on the way home, for he is exhibiting quietly to New York capitalists a working model of his inter-oceanic ship railway which cost him #10,000 and occupies twenty feet of space. He is naw arranging to exhibit it at New Orleans. The Washington Monument ia boom- ing along towards completion. The cap stone will be set this week. The tip of the cap stone will be composed of aluminium, and is the largest device ever made of that metal. It is about four feet high, and is as sharp as a moderately dull needle at its apex There are several reasons why this par ticular metal was used. To begin with it is a good lightning conductor and will serve as the top of the lightning rod ; then it does not tarnish but will always remain bright. It has much the same appearance as silver. The most distinguished military tri bunil that has assembled in this coun try since the close of the war, is low itilsesslon in a small upper room In the Corcoran building. One major general aud six brigadier generals of the regu lar army, flanked by three colonels of the line on either hand, occupying the long table. Schofleld, Terry and Miles it would be hard to find three more distinguished looking men. The staff Generals Rochester, Holablrd, Murray and Newton, are meu of dignity and power. 1 believe It Is the first time in the history of the country that a man holding rank of a brigadier general has been on trial in time of peace,and tho court is making short work of General Swalm.
