TERMS FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH. THE ADVERTISING RETURNS OF THE CITY PRESS . The Infelligencer has get infected with the itch to figure in the income returns, but falls into the blunder of making its ornamenta} “‘showing” for & quarter notoriously, by the evidence of its advertising columns, the dullestin its advertising history. Thus, the advertising returns of the Intelligencer for the five previous quartere were March 31, 1965, 36,49; Jane 30, 1565, $7,651; September 3, 1565, 35. ; December 31, 1865, $7,787; March 31, 1866, $4,015. These returns show the man- ner im which the prevailing business dullness 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 had been even less than during the previous dull quarter, when its returns were but $4018, yet im tite 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 their breath over this astounding piece of | cheek. Its eity advertising had fallen off Jargely. it had lost the Government advertising, yet ite ostensible receipts were nearly treble those of the previous quarter! We learn, bowever, that the sub rosa expla- Ration made in behalf of the /nfelligencer, as to the why and wherefore of this remarkable re- turn, is, that during that quarter the Intelligen- 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-borse advertising, inserted to fill up with, and taking the chances of getting pay, ran back a year or more, we bear. The Intelligencer’s showing is, therefore, a big sham. It parades its year-old- dead-horse-advertising wind-fall receipts to mske it appear that its bona fide advertising | business for the quarter had shot up to, and beyond, that of an when in fact it had httle more than one quar- ter of the advertising business of the Star, as | shown by the business columns of the two pa- pers. Weil, 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 humbuggeous effect. Our showing for the six quarters past are plain matter-of-fact returns. as follows :—March 31, 1565, $13,732; June 30, 1865, $13,153; September SO, 1565, $14,960, December 31, 1565, #1 2; March 31, 1566, $14,446; June 3), 1866, $15,119.

The nominations of the New York State Convention, at Albany, which concluded its business on Wednesday, seem to be favorably received by the Conservative papers of the “ State, although some dissatisfaction is expressed | by the Republicans represented in the Conven- tion, who wanted General Dix as their candi- | date for Governor. They will, however, proo- ably “accept the situation” with a good grace, inasmuch as the nominee for Lieutenant Gov- | ernor, Kobert H. Pruyn. of Albany, was first a Whig, then a Republican. The nominee for Governor, J.T. Hoffman, is the present Mayor ot New York city: a man of ability and integ- Tity, and is very popular in eastern New York. Gen. Dix, with his military antecedents and record ss & war Democrat. might have added largely to the Conservative R-publican ele- ment, but would not have done so well in New York city. The Herald does not seem to be very sanguine as to the defeat of Fenton. Of the other candidates on the Conservative ticket, we may state that Wm. W. Wright has been already canal commissioner, and that Francis B. Gallaher.(for prison inspector, ) pre- sided over the late Fenian conven ion in Troy, #nd will probably carry the bulk of the Irish vote. The platform of the convention is very briet. It affirms the doctrines set ferth in Philadel- phia in August, and adopts the settlements already made, which restore the People of the southern States. MUSTERED OvT.
