TERMS FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH. THE ADVERTISING RETURNS OF THE CITY PR s The Intelligencer 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 ifs advertising bistory. Thus, the advertieing retarns of the Intelligencer for the | five previous quarters were March 31, 1565, 36,49; June 30, 1565, $7,651; September 3, 15 $5,307, December 31, 1865, $7,787; March 31 1866, S4.uls. These returns show the man- mer in which the prevailing business guliness had told upon its advertising patronage, and its Advertising col- umns, for the succeeding quarter ending June 30, 1566, showed that its advertising for the quarter bad been even less than during the previous dull quarter, when its returns were but $4.01, yetin the face of ali this it makes the portly return of $15,653 for the quarter end- ing June 30, 1566! No wonder its readers held their breath over this astounding piece of cheek. Its eity advertising had fallen off largely, it had lost the Government ad vertising, Yet its ostensible receipts were nearly threble those of the previous quarter! We learn, however, that the sub rosa expla- | Dation made in behalf of the Intelligencer, as to | the why and wherefore of this remarkable re- turn, is, that during that quarter the Jntelligen- cer was allowed pay by the Government for Some old advertising, inserted without authori- | 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 a year or more, we hear. The /nteiligencer’s showing is, therefore, a big sham. It parades its year-old- Gead-horse-advertising wind-fall receipts to make it appear that its bona fde advertising business for the quarterhad shot up to, and beyond, that of any of its city cotemporaries, ‘when in fact it had little more than one quar- ter of the advertising business of the Star, as sbown by the business columns of the two pa- pers. ell, if our cotemporary thinks this sort of bumbug will pay, it is welcome to all the glory; meantime the Star pursues the even tenor of its way, making no embroidered in- come returns for humbuggeous effect. Our Sbowing for the six quarters past are plain matter-of-fact returns. as follows :-—March 31, 1-65, $13,732; June 30, 1565, $13,183; September 30, 1565, $14,960; December 31, 3, $14,952; March 31, 1966, #14.446; June 39, 1866, £15,119.

We learn that vigorous efforts are being ade to reorganize the Virginia militia in por- ions of the State: but that the rank and file do not exhibit any great degree of alacrity in re- Sponding to the calls for that purpose. The «high privates” allege that they saw enough of soldiering in four year’s war, and have no idea of engsging in holiday parades forthe | glorification of efficers of the Home Guards. in Richmond, elections of officers are now be- ing held, but even in that city, where fear of Begro organizations acts as a spur to the luke- ‘warm, but little interest is manifested. Ap- Piications for arms will, no doubt, soon follow Successful attempts at reconstruction of the Militia regiments, as that seems to be one Of the objects of the movement. Complaints are being made all through Virginia that the Fed- eral authorities bave heretofore furnished the blacks with arms, while the whites were un- armed. Judginz, however. from the discharges of fire-arms in the suburbs of Richmond every afternoon by parties shooting at bats, (a per- tect fusilade is generally kept up for an hour or two.) and by the number of revolvers to be Jound in almost every citizen's house, also, by the occasional affrays in which pistols are used, we are of opinion thatinm that section at | Jeast the white population is not altogether de- Tenceless. 7,715 copies per day. WHO THEY ARB. An inquiry into the antecedents of the dele- gates to the Disunion Southern Conven- tion, now im session at Philadelpnia, would Probably result in showing that very few of them have any legitimate right to speak or the South. and especially for the loyal South. Thos. J. Durant, ot La, temporary chairman of t be convention, was, we learn, a Fampant secessionist at the outbreak of the | Febellion, though a Northern man. J. M. Field, of Miss., was a rebel lieutenant in the rebellion, and is also of Northern birth. The “Colonel Daniel, of La,” who figures in the convention, is a Massachusetts Yankee, who | ‘went down to Louisiana for a while in com- Iand of some negro troops, but who, at the close of the war, left Louisiana and came to ‘Washington, and while here, it will beremem_ bered, inguished himself by marrying Mrs. Cora V. Hatch, the somewhat noted ‘Spiritual medium.” ! ASSIGNED TO DUTY IN THE WEST. Brevet Lieut. Col. E. M.

Thus the Chicago Tribune, says%n reterence to the able letter of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher that he “bas a son who is an officer in the reg- ulararmy. This son was dismissed from the service by a court-martial some eighteen months ago. and was restored and promoted by Andrew Jobnson about the time that Mr. Beecher first became a champion of pegpol- cy.” The restoration of young Beecher dimost created a mutiny in the regiment from which he had been expelled, and some compromise had to be effected toavert thescandal. Wheth- er the junior Beecher remains in the army, or whetber he was allowed to resign, we are not informed. The facts above mentioned were quite notorious mong army officers last year, and also among the wise men of the Congrega- tional Church. Whether the restoration of the son explains Mr. Beecher's anxiety for the res- toration of the South, we cannet affirm. It is at least unfortunate that the two things should have come to lignt about the same time.” CS aenREEEEaEEEmmemmnin med (ez NOTICE—Every mem! of the PAPER HANGER’S ASSOCIATION respect. fully requested to be punctual in attendance TO SIGHT. as business of importance is to acted.

The radical members of Rey. Henry Ward Beecher’s congregation, in Brooklyn, are con- siderably exercised over the recent letter of their pastor, taking such decided ground in favor of the President's policy, and denounce him in bitter terms for his “apostacy.”” They have not yet agreed upon a plan of operations; but to determine whether themselves or the Conservatives have a majority in the church, are discussing the propriety of testing the mat- ter by a side issue on the slavery question—the radicals to vote for a reduction of their pas- tor’s compensations. Outsiders seem to think that Mr. Beecher can get along better without Plymouth Church and the big organ than they can without him. On this point the New York Sun (Republican) says: “The value of Mr. Béecher everybody knows. His eloquence and independence of character would command more capital than is now represented by the congregation worshipping in his church. An immediate investment would be made in his stock, by parties who would erect for him a magnificent church, per- mit him to preach the Gospel after his own tashion, and write such political Jetters as suited his individual inclination. We do not think the “Radical members” of Mr. Beecher’s church can afford to oppose the political views of their pastor.”* THE “REGULATORS” TO BE SUPPRESSED. Major General Sickles, commanding the De- partment of the Seuth, has issued an order probibiting the organization of white or col. ored persons having arms, or intended to be armed, not belonging to the military or naval forces of the United States. This order will not be construed to prohibit the lawfui enrol. ment of the militia, Armed bands of outlaws, known as “Regulators,” engaged in acts of hostility against the United States forces, or in depredations and outrages upon the per- sons and property of well aisposed citizens, will be deemed as guerrillas, and, when cap- tured, will be summarily punished. Com- manding officers of posts are authorized, when these banditti cannot be dispersed by means of regular garrisons, to accept the services of such citizens as may be willing to assist in capturing the offenders. This order probibits the formation of associ- ations composed of persons who served in the rebel army, having for their object the perpeta_ ation of any military or civil organization which was engaged in the rebellion, or the commemoration of any of the acts of the insur- gents.

The appeal of the committee gives along lisc of the grievances charged upon che President, including the followimg :-—That after rejecting bisown remedies for restoring the Union, he bas resorted to the weapons of traitors to bruise and beat down patriots; that after declaring | tion of the Gas Light Company, but u that none but loyal men should govera the re- constructed South, he has practised upon the maxim that none but traitors shall rule; that while in the North he bas removed con- scientions men trom office, he has filled many of the vacancies with the sympa- thizers with treason: in the south, he has removed our trusted patriot and select- ed the equally proved and convicted traitor: that after brave men who had fought for the old fiag had been nominated for position, their names had been recatied and avowed rebels substituted; that every original Unionist in the South who stands tast to Andrew John- son's covenants from 1561 to 1865 has been os- tracised. Among the concluding remarks are the tollowing:—Our last and only hope is in the unity and fortitude of the loyal people of America in the support and vindication of the 39th Congr and in the election of acontroling Union majority in the succeeding or 40th Congress, while the new article amending the nution’s constitution offers the most liberal conditions to the authors of the rebellion, and does not come upto the measure of our ex- pectations. We believe its nulification would be the commencement of acomplete and last- ing protection toall our people, and therefore we acceptitas the best present remedy, and appeal to our brothers and friends in the North and the West, to make it their watchword in the coming elections.

Ask your friend if he knows Joseph Epstein, and very likely he will say no. Ask him if he bas ever met in his journeyings to and fro through the city a man apparently about thirty- five or forty years of age, with a brighteye and an intelligent tace. shorn of his fair propor- tions, having lost both legs from just above the knee. making a seemingly painful and tedious progress through the streets, in a sort of a sit- ting position, using his arms as stilts, his hands L eiomagcees by leather gloves, wearing a shortf dirty-looking jacket and a little round skull cap with a smail peak. Ten to o resides in the city, he will say he has met such a figure frequently, and if inclined to speak of bis own charitable deeds may add that his sympathy being excited py the man’s appear- ance, he bas frequently bestofed a gratuity upon the, as be Se: deserving object, but somebody was telling him the other day that the fellow was rich. That “fellow” is Joseph Epstein. Strangers visitifig the city and meet- ing Joseph. who, in his peregrinations, does not avoid the places where they congregate. generally bave their hearts moved to pity and tbeir purse strings loosened at sight of somuch, as they think, suffering. It is different with policemen. Anexperience among the criminals und medicants of a city like this rather dalls the sense of unadvised commisseration. Con- sequently when officer No. 39%, of the Nine. teenth precinct, saw Joseph on Fifth avenue on Sunday, about one o'clock, with his hat in his hand soliciting alms, No. 399 recoliected that there was a Inw against begging, and ar- rested Joseph. Yesterday morning Josep was brought before Justice Kelley. No. 392 tesufied that he had known him as a beggar for the last six years, and Joseph was consequent- ly committed as ‘an idle person, wiihout any visible means of support,” and asa person “wandering abroad and placing himself in the public bighway to beg” Being a notorious offender, and as such, in the language of the statute,an “improperjperson to be sent to the poor house,” be was, pursuant to the pro sions of the statute, committed to the peni tary for sixty days. After the commitment counsel for Joseph moved for his discharge, on the ground ef his not being “without the means of support,” and submitted to the Court deeds and other documents showing that he ‘Was possessed of real sin gk d to the amount of $25,000.

On Sanday evenings, when the stores are closed and the moen does not shine, it 1s almost impossible for pedes- trams to gtope their way over the rough pave- ments. ecause Congress should have refused to continue the lighting of these streets is no excuse for the neglect of the authorities They should bave shown some en rise by prompuy reviding @ rem o- The act which recently passed the Counc'ig for the lighting of these streets was framed, it was thought, so as to accord with the proposi- ria. nately the act, it is now stated, was erroneous, it providing for the lighting ef al! the Iamps on Bridge street and the other streets of the town, jor 4 certain sum; while the proposition of the Gas Company was to light seventy lamps oa Briage street and the lamps on the other streets, for the stipulated sum. I: is hoped that the jaw will be corrected at the meeting this evening. VioLaTIne CORPORATION OnpINarogs.— Tuesday Charles McUarthy aud Jerry Mc- Carthy, father and sor, were arrested by Ofa- cer Burrell, the son, a boy of ten years, for throwing stones in the street, at a litue colored girl going to a pump with a Iady, and the father fer encouraging him to it and behaving ina disorderly manner. A stone thrown by boy struck the lady; she went to tell the father and he insulted herand told the boy if he haa not thrown the stone he would bave cut the bide off of him. The mother went to the station to see what had become of her husband and child, and added applause to that of her busband. Justice Buckey fined father and son S24ieach. The father asked his wife if she bad the money.
