THE ADVERTISING RETURNS OF THE CITY PRESS. : The /nitelligencer has get infected with the itch to figure in the income returns, but falls into the blunder of making its ornamental “showing” for @ quarter notoriously, by the evidence of its advertising columns, the dullest in its advertising history. Thus, the Advertising returns of the Jnfelligencer tor the five previous quarters were March 31, 1965, $6,490; June 30, 1965, $7,651; September 3, 1865, $5,007: December 31, 1565, $7,787; March 31, | is66, S401 These returns show the man- per in which the prevailing business dullness had told upon its advertising patronage; and its advertising col- umns, for the succeeding quarter ending June 30, 1-66. showed that its advertising for the quarter had been even less than during the | previous dull quarter, when its returns were i but $4. 01+, yet in the face of all this it makes the portly return of $15,653 for the quarter end- | ing June 30, I-66! No wonder its readers held | their breath over this astounding piece of cheek. Its city advertising had fallen off | largely, it had lost the Government ad vertising, yet its ostemsible receipts were nearly threble those of the previous quarter ! | We learn, however, that the sub rosa expla. | Upor nation made in behalf of the Intelligencer, as to the why and wherefore of this remarkable re- turn, is, that during that quarter the Infelligen- | cer was allowed pay by the Government for | some old advertising, inserted without autnori- | ty, and for which the Government had hereto- fore refused to pay. Some of this dead-horse advertising, inserted to fill up with, and taking the chances of getting pay, ran back 4 year or more, we bear. The /ntelligencer’s showing is, therefore, & big sham. It parades its year-old- dead-borse-ad vertising wind-fall receipts to make it appear that its bona fide advertising | business for the quarter had shot up to, and beyond, that of any of its city covmporaries, ‘when in fact it had little more than one quar- ter of the advertising business of the Star, as | shown by the business columns of the two pa- pers. ell, if our cotemporary thinks this | sort of humbug will pay, it is welcome to all | the glory; meantime the Stor pursues the even | tenor of Its way. making no embroidered in- | | | | come returns for bumbuggeous effect.

The officers chosen in Vermont were a Governor, Lieutenant Governor. Treasurer, State Legislature, and three members of Con- gress. For Governor, the candidates were | Paul Dillingham, Republican, and Charles N. Davenport, Democrat. These gentlemen ‘Were opposing candidates im 1565, when Dil_ lingham received 27,586 votes, and Davenport §.557. For Congress, in the First District, the candidates were Frederick E. Woodbridge Republican, and Samuel Wells, Democrat. Second District, Luke Pollard, Republican, and Charles M. Chase, Democrat; Third Dis- trict, Portus Baxter, Repeblican, Romeo H. Hoyt, Republican. and Waido Bngham, Dem- ocrat. The Republican party was divided in the Third District upon a personal question, both Republican candidates claiming to have been lawfully nominated. Neither received a Majority vote; ana accordingly, under the law, a second election is to be held, at which a plurality vote will elect. California and Nevada will hold their elec. ions to-day, and Maine upon Monday next. The radicals have the luck of starting off in the campaign with “dyed in the wool” radi- States, where the conservatives are so hopelessly in the mimority that they make no Serious contest. The first elections which will Feally tell anything are those which will ec- ur on the 9th of October, being those of Penn- sylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. Of these, Onio elects members of Congress only, while Penn- | sylvania and Indiana, in addition to Congres. | sicnal representatives, elects Governors and State Legislatures, which have each the choice of United States Senator-. | 4,952: i9. 715 copies per day ee « “ 2 «6 “ THE COURT MABTIAL OF MAJOBGEB. The findings of the Military Commission, of Which Col, W. W. Wheeler, of the 2-th Mich- ig&n inrantry was president, before whom Ma- | N jor Jebn H. Gee, inte commandant of the Sa- lisbury. N. C., military prison was tried, have | 4, been promulgated. The charges against Major Gee were violating the laws and customs of | ‘war, and murder, in violation of the laws of | war. Of both charges he is tully acquitied. Under the first charge specifications allege | that while Gee was in command ofthe prison, | the inmates were in a condition of extreme | ‘Want and suffering, as well as many of them | ill and dyin<, by reason of the insufficiency of the rations, clothing, shelter, and medical attendsnce. The findings of the Commission attach no responsibility to Major Gee, other tban for weakness in retaining a position in | ‘which he was unable to carry out the dictates | of humanity, and state"that the blame rests | upon the higher authorities of the rebel gov- ernment. ' Major General Robinson, in reviewing the case, while approving the findings of the = | mission, does not agree with them that theonly | responsibility of the accused was weakness in | retaining position as commandant of the prison. Hesays that while evidence clearly | establishes the fact that higher authorities of | the rebel government were fally responsible | for the violations of the laws and customs of | war, and that the accused was constantly nd asking for supplies, it is believed | ¢ bad it in his power to relieve much of | the su fle ring of the prisoners under his charge.

The Boston Commonwealth, the organ of Sen- ator Sumner, bas broken ground avowedly in | tavor of the abolition of the office of President, and exults in the strife between the President | and Congress, on the ground that it will lead to that result The country “can do very ‘well without a Chief Magistrate,” is the con- clusion arrived at by the Commonwealth, which advocates a change of the Constitution, to remove all check upon the action of Congress- Where would the Radical Plans end?

We see that the leading journalists and pub_ lic men of Virginia are sagaciously advocating the adoption in that State of a policy, which. conforming to the altered state of things there and the impossibility of working large tracts ot land profitably under the present system o; labor, proposes to encourage the better clas, of emigrants to settle there. Some seven hun. dred emigrants of this sort have just landed in New York, on their way to Viginia, who propose to purchase farms of fifty to one hun. dred acres immediately on their arrival, and to enter atonce upon the requisite building ana other preparations for permanent setuement- They have ample means for building, stocking and provisioning their homesteads, but will require & credit of five or six years upon the purchase money, paying interest from the date. and with the privilege of paying por- tions of the principal as from time to time they may be able to do so. They are skiiled agriculturalisis, and have among them me- cuanies of all kinds, and some laborers. Should their experiment be « success. a yet larger number of emigrants of the same class will follow them to Virginia. SE A Pal ie desi GENERAL GBANT AND THE PRESIDENT. We notice that the Radicals, who have ex- hibited such unhappiness over the cordial co. operation maintained between the President and General Grant, are in a flutter of delight over the fact that General Grant lett the Pres- idential party at Cleveland; goir g by water to Detroit. The Radicals must be hard on’t for bits of comfort when they take solace from such an infinitesimalcrumb as this. Lt is well known that General Grant has been nearly bored to death by the persistent demands upon him for “speech! speech!” by the gaping crowds who have assailed him at every stop- ping piace, with the same unconscionable de- mand, though knowing his characteristic re- ticence and modesty, and that like the scis- sors grinder, he “has uo story to tell.” We are satisfied that the whole secretof his thas detaching himself temporarily from the Presi- dential party, was his desire to avoid the speech-hunting bores on the route.

Blackwood has 4 bitter tory article upon the “Principles and issues of the American Struggle.” A new story iscommenced in Blackwood, that of Nina Bolatka,” a Christian Maiden of Prague who loveda Jew. The story opens quite dramati- cally. The Quarterly is an interesting number to the general reader. &7 The Florida Union newspaper, in allu- ding to the approaching election in that city says: “It should be distinctly remembered that the destiny of the State of Florida is with the American Union, weal orin woe.” “A PAINFUL BLUNDER. he Albany Jour. nal, red-hot radical, warns its party that the indecent treatment of the President at Cleve- land was “a painfal blunder,” and trusts it will not be repeated. &7 The Boston Post calls Brownlow’s ora- tory ““H—loquence.” &7-The Democrats and Johnson men of Ohio have nominated Hon. George H. Pendleton for Congress in the Ist district and Theodore Cook in the 2°. Mr. P leton, in his acceptance of the nomination, approved the action of the Patesorhe. convention, and said that the decided result e war had the doctrine of Secessicn. and the Southern ple, by the action of their delegates at Phi iphia, have abandoned it asa rule of political action and the basis of political organization.
