S7 PERSONS LEAVING FOR THE COUNTRY, DURING THE SUMME! CAN HAVE THE “STARK” MAILED TO THEM BY LEAVING THEIR ADDRESS AT THIS OFFICE. TERM3 FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH. | ae - : = | THE ADVERTISING RETURNS OF THE CITY PRES: The /n‘éiligencer has gvt itch to figure in the income returns, but falls into the blunder of making its ornamental ‘showing™” for & qu&cter notoriously, by the evidence of its advertising columns, the duilestin its advertising history. Thus, the advertising returns of the Jnfelligencer for the $6.49. June 30, 1565, $7,651: September 3, 1565, $5.7, December 31, 1565, $7,737; March 31, Ins6, S4.0l8. These returns show the man- ner im which the prevailing buciness dullness had told upon its advertising patronage; and its Advertising col- om 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 returns were | but $10"S, yet in the face of all this it makes | the portly return of £15,683 for the quarter end- | ing June 30, 1566! No wonder its readers held ther breath over this astounding piece of cheek. Its city advertising had fallen off largely, it had lost the Government advertising, yet its ostensible receipts were nearly treble those of the previous quarter! We learn, however, that the sub rosa expla- nation made ip behalf of the /nfelligencer, as to the why and wherefore of this remarkabie re- turn, is, that during that quarter the Infelligea- rw allowed pay by the Government fo~ some old advertising, inserted without authori- ty, and for which the Government had hereto- tore 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 bear. The /nte/ligencer’s showing is, therefore, a big sham. It parades its year-old- dead-borse-advertising 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 totemporaries, when in fact it nad little more than one quar. ter of the advertising business of the Star, shown by the business columns of the two pa- pers. Well, if our cotemporary thinks this sort of humbug 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 bumbuggeous effect. Our sbowing for the six quarters past are plain matter-of-fact returns. as follows :—March 31, id, $13.13: Septembe: - $14,960; December 31, 1°65, $1 March 31, 1866, $14,436, June 3), 1566, 315,115 The official showing of circulation of the city papers, called for by the late act of Con- gress, is as follows These fac and figures speak for them- selves, and we leave them to tell their story With readers and advertisers. seco.

THINGS TALEED ABOST Qdage ‘There's many & slip ‘tween the cup and the lip,’ seems to Rave beea realized the case of the coufident expectations of se friends of Mr. C. M. Saow, that he would dis. Piace Postmaster Bowes om the Ist of Septem- ber. That date has passed, and yet Mr. Bowen sbows n@ sign of abandoning the comfortable broad-bottomed arm obair at the Uity Post Office; indeed, itis now said that ke ts so in- fluentiaily backed up in bis posish that it will not be possible to oust him. We hear the name of Mr. Lambert Tree, the excellent and universally respected ebief clerk, mentioned in connection with the postmastership, should Mr. Bowen vacave it; but Mr. T. is so modest and mnobtrasive that he wiil hardty be likely to make the requisite ecramble for the posi- tion. We iearn that Dr. Joon B, Blake. for- mer Commissioner of Public Buildings, and Paymaster Charles S. Jones, contest with Mr. Owen Thorn, Secretary ef the Young Men's National Club, the successorship to the place of Commissioner of Public Buildings, should @ vacancy occur there through the resignation of Major French or otherwise. A numerous- ly signed petition isin circulation for the ap- pointment of Mr. W. D. Wise tothe Warden- ship of the jail. Mr. Wise formerly occupied that position, and made a good Officer. There is « slight ripple in regard to the Dis- trict Attorneyship, the argument in behalf of achange being that the present meumbent, General Carrington, bas not defined his posi- tion upon Rational politics. We do not hear, however, of any Active movement to displace him. but in case of & vacancy occurring, the following are among the names mentioned for the place: Kicbard Merrick, J. J. Coombs, Asbury Lioyd, Charles W. Utermehile, and R. S. Davis.

The letter of the Rey. Dr. Tyng, we may Say, was in reply toa communication from the committee appointed by the National Com- mittee of the Cleveland Convention, request- ing him to serve as chaplain of that body on the Ith imstant. He endorses the Conven- on. and regrets that he cannot be there. He says «I have read with great delight Mr. Beech- ers unanswerable letter. and desire to thank bim for the fidelity and power with which he bas accomplished so good a work. I shall honor the soldiers and sailors of the Union if they give their cordial and united support to the sound and healthful principles which he proclaims and sustains. It will be a glorious result, if the people of the land unite with ‘hem in the universal determination that union, iiberty. and generous interpretation and action shail end alithe controversies of the day in which we live, in the immediate and complete recons'ruction and combined establishment of our whole nation as one harmonious and pros- pering people.

Tyng has been a life-long anti-siayery man, and was rather intense im bis loyalty during the war. There is also a letter from Capt. Worden of Blonitor renown, who lost an eye in bis contest with the Merrimac. He gives a sailor’s en. dorsement to a chaplain’s letter, and says « Be assured, General, the policy of sustain- ing the Administration meets my hearty ap- proval. and nothing would give me greater pleasure than uniting with my old compan. | sobs in arms in this effort: but 4s my ship will sailin a few days to join the South Pacific squadron, I will not be in the United States when the convention assembles.

At this election for Governor, General Joshua L. Chsmberiain is the republican candidate, and E. F. Pillsbury is supported by the demo. rats snd Jobuson men. In 1965, at the Goy- ernor’s election. the republican yote Was 53,449, and the demoeratic 31,117; republican majority 22m. For Congress this year the republicans have renominated John Lynch, Sidney Per- bam, James A. Biaine, and Frederick A Pike, present members, and have nominated John A. Peters in the place of Mr. Rice. In the first district, John Lynch is opposed by L. D. M.

GOING BACK. Thad. Stevens is deploring his sacrifice of principle to policy during the recent session of Congress, and in a speech at Bedford, Pa, the first in this canvass, announces his inten. tion to return in the nezt Congress, to the Policy which at the late session he reluctantly sacri- ficea for the sake of obtaining some practical measures. He admits that “Congress became demagogical in the last hot days, when all manhood was melted out of everybody,” and that they did some things to seduce the Fe. bians into the Republican ranks Tie territorial status of the South, the right f confiscation, and impartial ments of his creed now, and he d cond Board —t. §. rr, sufr “popular or unpopular, i shall stand by it tll | 1 am relieved of the unprofitable labors ot earth.” He admits, however, that the support of the doctrine of negro suffrage on the eve of an election is dangerous, especially in coun- tues bordering on the slave States.

LOCAL NEWS. IMPROVEMENTS OF THE GRoUNDS anovT THE Executive Derartment.—Under the superintendence of the sup rvising Architect of the Treasury, (Mr. A. B. Mullet,) consider- able improvements are being made about the Executive Mansion and-grounds. The gate- ways at the head of the avenue (just south of the Treasury building,) have been removed to give place to a handsome group of gates—tnree pairs for carriages, the largest in the center, and two pairs for foot passengers. From this int on the south side of the Treasury build- toe there will be a roadway of the best ma- terial and most approved construction, whicn is already being extended between the building and the Executive Mansion. It will be flanked by flag footways, which are bordered by grass plats and flower beds. The outlet is directly opposite Madison (or 15) street, where mas- sive gates of granite and iron, of the same t the north style, are being placed. ‘be proposition to set = of the Treasury building for the use of the State Department bas been dropped, as the Treasury will need all the accommodation that that portion ef the building soon to be erected on the site of the State Department, will afford, and it is proposed that the permanent State Department structure shail be erected just south of the Treasury building, for which an appropriation will likely be asked at the next session of Congress. The long row of outhouses attached to the east end of the Executive Masion, which has long been an eye-sore, have been removed, and already have the workmen commenced the erection of @ spacious portico. The central window of the east room will be theentrance to this balcony, which will be of thesame style of architecture as the building. When the grounds are graded and sodded, as at present designed, this end of the building il show to great advantage. eee Oxruans’ Court, Judge Purcell.—On Satur- day, the will of the late Wm.
