COTT 13111LIXTIN. Tim RUSH FOR OFFICR.-TRO late trotinto in the pollee force, and the resignation of the mon in the Tenth and Eighteenth Districts,has started up the office seekers again, and for the past three days the Mayor's office has been crowded with the hungry horde of applicants for police honors. If the Mayor happened to pop his head out of his private office, there was an immediate scram ble of about a dozen men who just wanted to s•ak a word with htm. The Mayor has been greatly harassed by these men. This morning the crowd was larger than it has been for weeks. When the Mayor made his appearance in order to receive the reports of the Lieutenants of Police, there was a rush to wards him. Mr. Fox surveyed the scene for a few eeconds, and then made a little speech,whlch could not have been very gratifying to those who had been his friends in the last political canvass, and therefore claim the right to receive better treatment. lie said that he would not have his office crowded every day with applicants, and -those , who expected appointments to be made offic e ennce of their personal attendance in the would be very much mistaken. Any applicant who loitered in the room would have his chances for success greatly diminished. These remarks acted like a bombshell upon the assem bled forces of the Democracy, and in less than three minutes but live or six persons, out of nearly a hundred, remained in the office. Some of the fellows, who, no doubt, expected to walk put of the office with a badge en their coats, lingered upon the staircase, but the Mayor called up the policeman who is sta tioned at the door, and instructed him to keep the passage-Way clear. Notwithstanding the nu merous vacancies, the Mayor does not hurry up things at 3 fast _as the "unterrified" desire, and only one appointment was made this morning.

It had gone but a short distance when the car stopped and waited for a man who was so drunk that he, could not walk without assistance. Ms companion dragged him into the car. I protested that the conductor had no right to take such persons in the car, and that I know it was contrary to the rules of the Company. At Twentieth street I got out. The two men then got Out also, when the drunken one felt' fiat in the street, and it was with muck difficulty that his friend got him on the sidewalk, where they waited for the next car, No. 49. On ; the front plat form of this car stood a policeman; the car stopped and the companion with the conductor together put the • - drunken man into the car, while the policeman seemed to think it a very prod joke, judging from the mirth manifested. As Ido not live, on Vine street I ace very little of these cars, but s am told by ladies who do that on account of such things being constantly precticed they are forced to use other;lines. A LADY.

Ax OnnantrALPHonunrlON.-Among other things exclusively the property of the American Eagle are clams, cranberries and crackers. Mr. Ball may brag of hie Abernethy blscuita and his Banbury cakes, the Frenchman may go his length on biscuits and buns, but, as an accompaniment to a lunch, a picnic, or a re freshment table.. there is nothing in the whole range of the art of baking that can light a bigger candle than the American "cracker." Time was that Boston and Albany challenged the world to equal the product of their bakeries. Up to three years ago the challenge was unanswered. At thepresent writing, Pearce's Philadelphia crackers are sold not only by all the leading grocers of the "Hub." but by those of all the principal cities of the- Union. Mr, Pearce took a philosophical view of the cracker subject, and made up hie mind to crack every preten sion that setup superiority over Philadelphia in the production of crack crach ere . first step was to get up a bakery on philosophical prindiples. To do this be spared neither expense nor trouble. Ills next step was to secure the necessary and constant supply of the particular flour that he required. What oMr. Pearce . doesn't know about the farina of the various cereals isn't worthgoing to school to learn. Orange county dairies supply all the butter, and he is now supplying the market with an article of such excel lence that Pearce's Philadelphia crackers are adver tised as a leading article in all the cities of the south and west, as they are to the eastward. Mr. Pearce is one of that class of citizens who don't Co things by halves. He gets up butter crackers, soda crackers, wine crackers, milk crackers, picnic and biscuits of appearance and taste so decidedly in viting that people paifukc of other things purely for the asks Of the crackers that accompany theta. They are packed in neat tin boxes and will keep, providing they ain't eaten, in any climate whore the boys don't bt ask open the packages, People who believe in the advancement of home industry, when they ask their grocer for Pearce's crackers will save the additional satisfaction of eating an article tnat cannot be excelled in any quarter of the universe. We have witnessed the process of making these things. Mr. Pearce is as neat as an old maid, and his bakery would do credit in point of sweetness to any parlor in Amsterdam. His corps of operatives, in tneir snow-white caps and uni forms. take to water like Mohammedans. We have an immense opinion, after our visit to Mr. Pearce's establishment, of the immaculate purity of the process of making his crackers.

A manifest disposition to bolt the ticket is exhibited, and the probability is that a split will take place. It is asserted by some of the dissenters that if seventy Democratic voters can be taken away from the regular ticket, the bolters can carry the day, and efforts are being made to et cure those seventy votes. It is a sort of Kilkenny Cat tight, which is rapidly increasing in interest. PRIBONERS.—Twenty - four prisoners aro now confined in the Camden county jail, on various of fenced.
