TERMS FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH. THE ADVERT NG RETURNS OF THE CITY PRESS. The Intelligencer has get infected with the | itch to figure in the income returns, but falls | into the blunder of making its ernamental | “showing” for & quacter notoriously, by the evidence of its advertising columas, the duilestin its advertising bistory. Thus, the | advertising returns of the Infelligencer fur the five previous quarters were March 31, 1863, | 26.4%, June 30, 1565, $7,651; September 3, 1545, $5,307, December 31, 1565, $7,757; March 31, | 1866, $4015. These returns show the man- ner in which the prevailing business duliness had told upon its advertising patronage, and its advertising col- uwmns, for the succeeding quarter ending June 3, 1596, showed that its advertising for the quarter had been even less than during the | previous dull quarter, when its returns were but S21 015, yet in the face of all this it makes | the portly return of $15,653 for the quarter end- ing June 30, 1566! No wonder its readers held | ther breath over this astounding piece of cbeek. Its eity advertising had fallen off Targely, it had Jost the Government advertising, yet its ostensible receipts were nearly treble ihose of the previous quarter! We learn, however, that the sub rosa expla- nation made in behalf of the /nfelligencer, as to the why and wherefore of this remarkable re- | turn, is, that durmg that quarter the [nfelligen- cer was allowed pay by the Government for some old advertising, inserted without autnori- | ty, and for which the Government had hereto- | tore refused to pay. Some of this dead-borse | advertising, inserted (o fill up with, and takir | the chances of getting pay. ran back a year or | more, we hear. The Intelligencer’s showing is, therefore, a big sham. It parades its year-old- dead-horse-advertising wind-fall receipts to make it appear that its bona fide advertising Dusiness for the quarter bad 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 Siar, as sbown by the business columns of the two pa- pers. Well, if our cotemporary thinks this sort of humbug will pay, it is welcome to ail the glory; meantime the S/ar pursues the even tenor of its way, making no embroidered in- come returns for humbuggeonus effect. Our showing for the six quarters past are plain matter-of-fact returns. as follows :—March 31, 1965, £13,752: June 30, 1595, $13.13: Septem be: 30, 1565, $14,960: December 31, Mareb 31, 166, $14, June 3), 1366, $15,119.

John A. Dix, the orttor | of the day, at the laying of the corner stone of the Douglas Monument in Chicago, on Thurs day las", was one of bis happiest efforts, worthy of himself and the occasion. point in this eloquent oration im reference to President Johnson's share in the work of emancipation, which recapitulates brietly but | clearly some tacts, apparently forgotten by those who now claim to be the especial friends of the negro. It is as follows: «Fellow-citizens, there is a view ef this sud- den revolution m the social condition of the colored race which ought never to be over- looked. The proclamation of Mr. Lincoin abolishing slavery was an act of war, and ex- tended only to the States which had taken up arms against the Government. It did notreach Maryland, Delaware. Kentucky, or Tennes- see, Which remained true to their allegiance. Sh Ty still existed in those States; and for its Mnal extinction, for the consummation of the great measure of manumission, for the oblit- eration of the only feature in our political con- stitution which has ever been regarded as in- consistent with tt fondamental principles o} freedom and equality the country is indebted to the present Chief Magistrate of the Union. His personal influence with the Sonth has achieved what no power of the Government could have effected—-the adoption by three- fourths of the States of the Constitutional amendment declaring slavery forever abol- isbed throughout the Union. The glory of President Lincoln is to bave, by an act of his own will, emancipated all slaves within the Teach of bis legitimate power. The glory of President Johnson 1s to have completed what the former left unfinished, and to have made the Constitution whateleven of the thirteen -Tigipal parties to it desired to make it at its formation. Two of the slave States refused to | concur in the great measure of is65, and it will be recorded in our history as one of the mar. | Yels of the times that slavery was abolished in Kentucky and Delaware by the votes of South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama. | Let the tact be proclaimed in honor of the last pamed States, aad it need not be doubted that the time is near at band when they will find, én high moral considerations and an immeas- urably increased prosperity. cause to congrat- ulate themselves that their names are enrolled in the great army of emanecipators throughout | the eiwiilzed werld.” tenes LIGHT.

The rump of the late so-called “Southern Loyalists’ Convention,” embracing delegates from the non-recoustructed States, (all of those lately im rebellion with the exception of Ten. nessee,) assembled in Philadelphia yesterday. The delegates from Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee, took the ground that the Convention finished its busi- ness en Wednesday, and absented themselves from this impromptu affair, over which John M. Fotts presided in place of Attorney General Speed. A committee of one delegate from each of the late rebellious States reported & lengthy address and appeal to the people of the suffrage to adopted. This proceeding seems to have disgusted the border State men, and even the Baltimore American says of it “An exciting debate ensued upon the reading of the address, the delegates from the Gulf States rearly all insisting upon its adoption, and expressing themseves in strong terms in favor of the extension of suffrage. Nearly all those who were opposed to this measure had gone home, and the address was adopted by a vote of sixty-six ayes to eight nays he whote number of members from the eleven insurrectionary States was one hundred and forty-eight, and if all had been present they could have defeated it.” The American is mistaken in its statement that +a number of delegates trom the District of Columbia voted for the address,” as only the celegates from the non-reconstructed States were allowed to yote. John Minor Botts. of Virginia, who presided, was one of the eight who voted against it; and atter returning thanks to Miss Anna E. Dickinson, Fred. Doug_ lass and Theodore Tilton, this bogus affair ad. journed. It these gentlemen, who are so anxious to take entire control of the southern States, with the aid of the negro vote, think th ir action will have any influence on Congress, they will find themselves mistsken. The leaders in that body are a great deal more solicitous to ensure & continuance of their party rule than to serve the negro, and have no idea of sicri- ficing their chances of success at the North for aprimciple which they have already ignored. So Sambo is doomed to remain out in the cold, as there is no chance of his being allowed to vote yet awhile. DEPARTMENT OF THE ARKANSAS, Brevet Major General E. O. ©.

In March lasta young man named Samuel Paris, employed as a Clerk at the banking house of Riggs & Co., suddenly left the city, accompanied by another young man by the tame of Robert Holtzman. Some days age Holtzman returned, and, as is alleged, stated that be had been tothe Westand Southwest. seeking employment, but found it as dull there as Lére, and accordingly returned. He gave no definite account of the whereabouts of Paris. Meanwhile a special deposite of $27,000 in Goy- ernment bonds had turned up missing from the bank. The deposite was made by Miss Lacy Rives. daughter of the late John ©. Rives, and consisted of 7.30 bonds, payable semi-annually, and when put away were not touched again und) the coupons were due. Miss Rives having called for the accruing interest, the bonds were not to be found, and an inquiry was at once made as to who had access to the drawer, and suspicion was directed to Samuel Paris; also, upon Holtzman, from the fact that he left the city im company with Paris in March.

He said no, and Holtzman re- marked that if nothing was discovered by a certain date in June, he would as lief go back to Washington as not.

Holtzman was held to bail in $10,000 for far- ther hearing, and Griffith in $2,000 to appear as a witne Both Paris and Holtzman were most respec- tably connected in this city. Paris had been employed in the bank some two years.
