The following is the official showing ot the circulation of the daily papers of this city competing for the Government advertising under the recentact of Congress directing such advertising to be made in the two daily news- papers otf Washington mavying the largest circulation : EVENING STAR. Chronicle... THE WASHINGTON CANAL. 1t will have been noted with satisfaction by those interested in the progress of our city that the speculators’ bill to get possession of the ‘Washington Uanal was defeated in the House on Thursday, and that a motion to reconsider | Was Isid on the table. To Mayor Wallach, who has Iabored so earnestly to save this yal- wable franchise for the city, this result must | be peculiarly gratifying. The yalne of the franchise is shown by the amount of money the speculators seeking it have lavishly wasted for lobby purposes, in dining and wining, and in purchasing newspaper influence in behalf | of their scheme. We know that a party of ‘Wealth, sware of the pecuniary advantages of | getting possession of such a monopoly, offered to lay down $750,000 for the franchise if his | mame could be inserted in lieu of the corpora- tors. But we must look upon the reprieve as but temporary. The same lobby will be at work | mext Congress, and it deperds upon the action | of the City Councils, meantime, whether we | shall baye availed ourselves of the opportu. nity given us to retain such a sourceof wealth | in our own hands by promptly making | it what it sbould be. It must be cleaned and parrowed: connection must be made with | the James’ Creek Ship Canal, by a eutting | from Virginia avenue to meet the Government | cutting. which extends from the Arsenal up | to N street. We have already pointed out the | great advantages that will eccrue to the city | | | by making this important connection with the Potomac, by which vessels coming up the diver can always enter the cafal in any state of wind or tide; whereas now they are detain- ed below the Long Bridge in bad weather. Full connection with the Chesapeake and | Ohio Canal must be made at once: and then we | shall begin to realize the visions of those who bave hoped to cee our share of the immense coal trade and produce trade of upper Mary- and and Virginia transacted at our own cana] wharves. This done, we shall no longer subject our- Selves to the immense practical joke of carting coal, iron, produce, &c., from Georgetown to our city. In this connection we note the gratifying fac; that the Board of Directors of the Chesapeake & ORio Canal Company. at their late Meeting at Berkley, appropriated the amount of money | requisite to raise the Canal bridges in George- tewn if order to make connection with the ‘Washington Uanal and ordered the plans and estimates to be made at once. All thmgs are propitious now for Washing- ton city toenter upon an unexampled career of prosperity. God helps those who help themselves Let us at once put ourselyes in the category of those who are promised the Divine aid! A HEBALD Map. During the evening session of the Senate yes- | terday, considerable curiosity was created in the galleries by the interest taken on the floor of the Senate a New York Herald map of the seat of war in Europe, which was in cir- culation amongst the members and others pre- | vent; and from the bobbing of heads over the sheet, and the ripple of lively remark that ac. companied its progress through the room it ‘was thought by some that another great bat- tie had been fought with gratifying resuits- It turned out, however, that the notice given to the map was due to the fact that it embraced | am exceedingly smutty hoax by the delineator | or engraver. at the expense of the Herald. The | “Monkey Run” and «Saltpetre Cave” hoaxes Bpon our neighbor of the Chronicle were not a circumstance to this awful sell upon the | Herald. | Vvtearity.—The press, without regard to | pelitics, is almost unanimous in condemnation | of the coarse language of Gov. Brownlow, in speaking of the President. The Baltimore } American is disgusted, and “Occasional,” with a late sense of propriety, omits the obnoxious language in copying Brewnlow’s dispatch in Dis letter te the Chronicle this morning. SF Shillington, Odeon Building, sends us the following batch of late magazines :-— and Madame Demorest’s Mirror of Fashiofs for August, and No.7 of the fortnightly Galazy. Also, from J. ©.

F.—GRAND ENCAMPMEN' CONGRESSIONAL. afternoon— Mr. Sumner, from the Committee of Confer- ence on the disagreeing votes of the two houses on the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill, made a report. (Among other items the committee recommend the striking out of the appropriation for the salary of Mr. Harvey, the Minister Resident to P ortugal.] Afver considerable debate, the rej of the committee was concurred in, and the bill now awaits the President's signature. Hovsr.—Yesterday afternoon— Mr. Stevens, of Pa., called up ihe bill, refiprt- ed some time since from the Oommittee on Re- censtruction, to restore to the States lately in Tebellion their full political rights. The bill having been read, Mr. ham, of Ohio, moved an amend- ment, allowing Southern States to be repre- sented as soon as they ratified the Constitu- tonal aera ee ly Mr. Kelley, . then moved to lay the bill and all of the amendments on ae. table; which ‘was agreed to—yeas 96, nays 37. Mr. Stevens, of Pa., introduced a joint reso- lution as a question of privilege, providing that when Congress adjourn it be until the first Saturday in December, unless sooner convened by the President of the United States, or by the joint call of both houses: and the said presiding officers are authorized to exercise that pewer in case of emergency. The Speaker said, as on yesterday. he would submit the question to the House whether the resolution was one of privilege. Mr. Orth. et Ind., said that the duties and responsibilities of this Congress were greater than those of any Congress in American his- tory. He believed that this Congress ought to remain in session until it expired by constitu- tional limitation. He had no doubt that under the Constitution the House had the right to Pass this resolution. Mr. Stevens, of Px., urged tha* Congress ought to prevent a coup Petat during the recess, and er ests pass this resofution asa sure means of preventing it. The question was on receiving the resolution as a question of privilege, and it was agreed to —yeas 62, nays 51. The resolution being before the House, Mr. Bidridge, ot Wis.. moved to lay it on the table: which was lost—yeas 53, nays 68. The previous question was seconded, and | the resolution was then rejected—yeas 49, | nays 75. UNCLAIMED TELEGRAMS, AMERICAN TELEGRAPH ComPany.

The amount of Fractional Uurrency received by the Treasurer of the United States from the Printing Division, during the week ending to- day, is $279,100, ae St THEOTHER BIDE STORY. Complaints having reached the Burean of Refugees and Freedmen, from certain citizens of Helena district, Arkansas, against Captain Henry Sweeney, General Superintendent of that district, charging him with corruption and mal-administration, the case was investi- gated. The assistant Commissioner of the State forwards to the chief of the burean the depositions of five of the most prominent citi- zens of Helena district. four of whom had served as commissioned officers in the late Confederate army, setting forth that had there not been an acent of the Bureau established in that region there weuld not have been one halfa crop made in the-county this year, that the affairs of the Bureaa as administered by Capt. Sweeney and his agents hay. en per- fect satisfaction to both white and black in the county. that they know of no charges other than the = org authorised fees having been made. nor had they heard of any acts of in- justice on the part of Capt. Sweeney or his agents toward the colored people, and that the citizens of the county. generally, are anxious that the Bureau be retained. STEED ORE TO GOVEBNOR ORE TO GENERAL SICKLES. Governor Orr, of South Carolina, has writ- tena letwer, dated July 9th, to General Sickles, explaining his meaning in a conversation he had some time ago with the General in refer- ence to the issue of Government rations to the destitute people of that State. He states in thas letter that he did not wish to couvey the idea that no rations need be issued, but that great care was necessary that designing ple flid not impose on the government ie Te- ‘quests the General to reconsider his decision notio issue any more rations, and te approve the Natiom’s return made by the Borean. In conclusion the Governor sa Itis due to frankness that I should here say that the misconception of my position is my frult, not yours. I said more about the frauds practiced upon the Bureau on the subject of rations than 1 did about the necessities of a great many meritorious people: and the general tenor of the conversation might well: have authorized you in conc Iading that much of the complaint for food was exaggeration.” ————$— THE BSORGANIZATION OF TRE NAVY. In the House to-day, Mr. Rice, of Mass., re, ported tae Senate bill for tae reorganization of the Navy, with amendments, and the House passed it.

Tue Cana Brrpors.— We learn from a gentleman who was present at the late meet- ing of the Board Directors of the Ches- apeake and Ohio Company, at Berkeley, that they appropriated the amount Tequisite for raising the canal bridges im this city, and that plans and éstimates are to be prepared at ence. With this outlet for the coal traae, our busi_ ess men think the necessity for the “recon. struction” of the Alexandria aqueduct is not apparent, as carriage of coal by river to Alex- andria will be less than m the canal. Tue River Frony.—This week has been one of considerable activity at the wharves, notwithstanding the intense heat, which sus- pended business to @ considerable extent in other locahties. The arrivals and departures, though not as numerous as during the war. when the Government transports were going and coming constantly, yet serve to indicate that the legitimate trade of the Port is increas. ing. The coal trade has been very lively: a number of bay and river crait have entered and cleared, and the steamers of the regular lines and the sailing vessels of different distant —_ gave a very cheerful aspect to the river ‘ont. THE Aqvepvct Pie DRIviING.— Yesterday, the pile driving machine was set in operation Sgain at the Alexandria aqueduct, and suc- ceeded in driving several piles in the river bed. The Mayor notified the operators that they must stop, and any one tound Griving a pile there should be arrested. To-day the Machine is not at work, and we understand that tNe engineer bas adopted a different plan for the strengthening of the trunk. Mayor Addison has expressed a determination to keep the river clear of obstructions between the piers of that aqueduct.
