The Intelligencer has get infected with the item to figure in the income returns, but fa'ls into the blunder of making its ernamentaj “showing” for & quarter notoriously, br the evidence of its advertising columns, the dullest im its advertising bistory. Thus, the advertising returns of the Inéelligencer for the five previous quarters were March 31, 1565, $6,490, June 20, 1565, 65) $5,507. December 31, 1866, $4015. These a 33 Py fy ge #8 returns show the man- ner in which the prevailing business dullness had told upon its advertising patronage, and its advertising col- Bmns, for the succeeding quarter ending June 3), 1506, showed that its advertising for the quarter had been even less than during the previous dull quarter. when its retarns were but $40.6, yetim the face of al! this it makes the portly return of $15,6-3 for the quarter end- ing pales 3, 1566! No wonder its readers held their breath over unding prece of cheek. Its city advertising had fa'len off largely, it had lost the Government ad vertusing, yet ite ostens'ble receipts were nearly threble those of the previous quarter!

It parades its year-old- dead-horse-advertising wind-iall rece‘pts .o make it appear that its bona fide advertisi business for the quarter had shot up to, beyond, that of any of its city cotemporar: when in fact it had little more than one qu: ter of the advertising business of the Siar, sbown by the business columns of the two pa- pers. ell, if our fpsociny apna thinks th‘s sort of humbug will pay, it is welcome to sll the glory: meantime the Star pursues the eye) tenor of its way. making no embroidered ir- come returns for humbuggeous effect.

A split has taken place in tne Southern Rad- tion in the District, | EUROPEAN NEW | | | | | “ w thoutautno-l- | i ical conclave at Philadelphia on the question } of negro sufirage. This was to have been ex. pecced. Radical:sm, as a political power, can- rot bope to ex sta gre_t while longer without the aid of the negro vote. Hamilton and others | of his stripec.n never expret to obtain seat, in Cov-ress or positions in the S.ste Govern- Ments South except by the ad of those twin meseures—en. anchise-reat of the blacks and disiranch* -meato’ ihe repels. Hence they go even farther than the few porthern extremists ‘who would not follow the lead of Congress in s.cTife rg principle to expediency by surren- cCe.ing their pe. .cueme of impcrtial suffrage. On the other band. the Republicans in the Border and Middle States know that the adyo- cacy of a bieck Governmeat tor the South: and ‘he placing of imtelligent white men at the mer- cy of gnorant negroes just rele.scd from sla- very and Icd on by a few individuals bent oa using their power to redress private wrongs ®nd carry out their schemes of vengeance, will | | lead to the destruction of their party in those | States. Here is a dilemua from which there is noescape. The peopie in the Border States with entire unanimity very justly denounce the in- consistency of the ext-emisis North who op” pose regro sufivage in ther owa Stites, whe.e be number ot colered voters is insignificant, but would force it upon the loyal white People elsewhere,even in some localities where the colored vowers would have a clear Majority. | ersey | Cuurch, where the STAFF ART OT ERE TS IN THE DEPART- | ENT OF THB PLATTE The followivg-namd officers are announced As the staff e: the Brigadier and Brevet Major Gereral commanding the Department of the Platte: Assist.nt Adjutant Genera!, Brevet Major H.
