THE EVENING STAR. The Largest Cirealation: in the Distriet,. W. D. WALLACH, Editor and Proprietor. WASHINGTON OITY: THURSDAY......SEPTEMBER 27, 1966, —_—_— — S/ BEADING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELB- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. S7 PERSONS LEAVING FOR THE COUNTRY, DURING THE SUMMER, CAN HAVE THS “STAR” MAILED TO THEM BY LEAVING THEIR ADDRESS AT THIS OFFICE. TERMS FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH. CIRCULATION OF THE CITY PRESS. The following is the official showing of the circulation of the daily papers of this city competing for the Government advertising under the recentaet of Congress directing such Advertising to be made in the two daily news- papers of Washington naving the largest circulation: GIFT CONCERTS. We Istely answered. so far as we were able, Various inguiries addre sed to us in regard to the (iift Concert project advertised te come off in this city October lith at Grover’s Theater, ostentioly for the benefit of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphans. We have now on hand an &ccumtilauon of iresh inquiries in regard to the same matter, indicating that there is con- siderable distrust of the project in the commu- Bity. One correspondent writes as follows: The mauagers of the lottery scheme to which the Star a few days ago called attention, have attempted to defend themselves through their orese. They donot dare, however. to con- tradict Ube assertion that their $250,000 in pres- ents are Bot worth more thar $100,400, though they try to shirk the issue by saying tnat your correspondent has not investigated the matter. How could he! They don’t desire an inyesti- gation, and take good care that there shail be none. Hence the charity blind by which they deceived the Commissioner ot Luternal Reye- nue, and attempted to gull the public. The thing won't bear invesugation. Ther first prize is a heuse on H street, between 6th and 7.b, which they value at $15,000! Do they Suppose there is an individual in Washington ‘Who does not know that the Rouse is not wosth more than $5,00u or $6,000! They offer also a grand Steinway piano at $1,500! Where is the arucle! So valuable an ins‘rument, it in ex- is worthy of « speciai notice. They promise 4 carriage and horses worth $3,000. Is the handsome span purchased the other day by one of the managers for $90 to be metamor- phased mto $4,000 Worth, or intended merely to maintain the dignity and style of a quarter- master! They also promise 74.453 prizes, (the whole number is 75,000,) valaed at $123,000, consisting of spoons, engravings, books, but- tons, &c. Books,im these days of Uongres- Sional printing, do bot cost much, and but‘ons are rather @ cheap article. if the managers spend $125,000 fer 74,453 of them, they are not as sharp as we take them to be. Your correspondeat su that becau the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Union isa Politic: organization, and several of the managers ar Joud moutbed radical brawlers, that an tioneering job might be the objectof the con- cern. There is much more reason to believe it purely a privatespeculation for the individual benefit of a few adventurers. As to the aid they have given or Proposed to five to the Orphans’ Home, we would be giad to kmow that the Orphans are receiving any benefit trom it. A great many thousand dol- lars were contributed by our citizens at the Ite Orphans’ Fair, but we bave as yet heard ©! no orphans being sheltered or provided for. There are some rumors of bickerings and re- cTimipations among the managers of the Fair that do net imdicate charitable or even disin- d motives om the partof all connected i; and we may, hereafter, make some in- quiries into what became of the money raised; and why such prominent features of the enter- rise as the Soda Water Fountain and Military Table Jwided, during the whole month the Fair ‘was kept open, enly the paltry snms of $19.30 and $34.%, revpectively. Trading in the wants of Soldiers’ Urpbans is a mean business. in the reply to our article to which our cor- respondent makes reference, we see that it is claimed thas the fact that the proceeds of the sales of tickets in New York and Philadelphia were to be deposited in banking houses in those cities, afforded “a guaranty that the drawing and distribution of prizes will actu- ally take place.” We confess we cannot see the guamapty. Supposing the money to have been deposited, as alleged, what is to prevent the managers trom checking it out at any mo- ment, as they did their deposits with Mr. Hutchinson, of the Bank of the Metropolis, Announced by them as their treasurer. In this connection we may say that we learn that the managers of the concern failed to give Mr. Hutchinson a satisfactory guaranty of the good iaith of thew enterprise, and tnat he declined to act as their treasurer, “haying too little | . | of the Nations! knowledge of the direc: managers of the af. fair.” Now, if the managers of this Gift Uon- certconcern wish tomake the deposite busi- bess & test Of good faith, let them deposit the Money in some bank in this city, subject to the erder (for the charitable objects named) of some responsible parties outside of their ring, As the matter stands, the public Bas no guar- anty that this splendid scheme of prizes will | elec. | THE GREAT BAILBOADS TO THE PACIFIC, | moneys. Teally be placed among the drawable awards, | OF that ifso pisced and drawh that they will be delivered over to the fortunate drawers, ‘The public mast rest entirely upon the honesty Snd pecuniary responsibility of the persons who advertise the scheme. Nearly all the Persons whose names appear in the advertise- ment are strangers. except the list of eminent gentlemen named as references. These refer- ences. when questioned in Tegard tothe re- Sponsubility of the managers, state that they know but sittle or nothing of their financial | ability, but spesk of them as gentlemen of good social standing. As regards the prizes offered, we think our correspondemt, above, bas estimated them at quite their full value. “Gift Concert jewelry,” and articles of that j fer pe mm tana into the Medical Bator fhe United class which make up most ot the prizes in this scheme, have po quotable value that we have ever seen, And we therefore dismiss them as so much chaff. We come next to the real estate, the five brick houses, and the «fine city lots om Seventh street north.” This Property looks like something tangible, and we doubt mot has been the principal attraction and source of confidence to the purchasers of tickets. The leading prize announced is - three story brick residence on H street, be- tween 6th and 7th, €15,000." This Property we find valued on the Assessor's pooks at 84,462. the lot being estimated at 8962 and the bonse ai $5,900. This, it will be seen. ix less than one- fourth the value assumed for it in the Gift Concert scheme. We may assume that the rea] Value of the other rea} estate prizes bears about the same proportion te the sssumed value in the scheme. But we cannot jearn that the manogers of the Gift Concert have acquired the title to a single inch of this realestate. It is remarkeble that the City Hall record: how no transfer of such property to them, since they bold forth the inducements to purchasers of tickets that the “deeds” are ail ready tor {ranemission to the lucky drawers. We may add, however, as & drop of comfort for tcket-holders, that we have no doubt bat thac the drawing will come off, and that a cou- siderable quantity of buttons. &c., will be dis- pensed ip the way of prizes. According to the Tepreseviations in behalf of the Gift Concert scheme, some of its Patrons have bad faith + to buy hundreds of dollars worth *s mdividually. Should they tail to F*"slize their bright apticipations of drawing a big prize—a tbree-story brick bouse, $1,500 piano, or $4000 team, &c.,—we can only re- peat tor ther benefit the saying of the wise man of old concerning the facility with which persons of a certain quality of mind are de- tached from their pecuniary resources.

White, words by E. N. Lamont THE CITY WPOBT NEW! On the left bank of the James river, where itempties into Hampton Roads, there is an in- significant village, which, like Virginia, was never heard of, im connection with military mo the Peninsula, as Newport News. e’a'med not only that the name will five in history, but tha! its situation is two make it the commercial city of Virgitlm, anda formidable rival to older settlements in that State and Msryland. The harbor is eaidto be the finést on the Atlantic seaboard, is four feet deeper than that of Néw York, and ts not barred by ice in winter, nor affected by yellow fever inemmmer, To make these advantages available, a company has been chartered, with acapital of three millions of.dollara, to con- struct what is called the “Richmond and Newport News Railroad,” though whetner tne road will pass through Rich. mond is a point not yet settled. At any rate it is intended to vonnest with the Coving- ton and Ohio Railroad, making the connec- tion complete between the great Northwest and the seaboard. The Commissioners are James Lyons, Thomss H. Wynne, (purchaser of the Richmond #£zaminer,) and H.G@. Fant, (well known in this community.) On the 23d ultimo they advertised that they had deposited the one bundred thousand dollars required by the ebarter previous to commencing operations. The great majority of the stocmhoiders are asia to be citizens of Uincinnati, Ohicago and, St. Louis. The cost of constructing the road will be small. as it is pearly an air line,and nograde will exceed 15 feet tothe mile. Besides, the people along the line are, it is said, anxious to bave the road built, and will, in a majority of cases, give the Company the right of way. IMPORTANT TO CLAIM AGENTS. The Paymaster General having recently is- sued instructions to Paymasters to recognize no power of attorney in the collection of claims for bounty under the recent act of Von- gress, andto hold commantcations with the claimants only, a number of claim agents haye urged upon the Paymaster General a change in his decision, holding that a power of attor- ney cannot legally be disregarded They Stated that the bounty act provided for the employ- ment of agents in the collection of claims, great eare having been taken to guard the interests of the soldiers. The question was referred to the Secretary of War, and by him to the At. torney General. The Secretary of the Interior has received a communication from the president of the Union Pacific railroad dated Sept. 20th, showing the completion of the seventh section of twenty miles of that road. The Goverament commis- sioners have been instructed to examine the section, and are now on their way to Omaha for that pur; - The fitth section of the Union Pacific railroad (eastern division) has giso heen compleied, and the commissioners Lave been directed to examine the same. NEW NATIONAL BANKS, The Ridgley National Bank, of Springfield, Llinois, capital $100,000, and the Pennsylvania National Bank of Pottsville, capital $100,000, were established yesterday. The tirst-named bank is designated as a depository of public FRost.—There was more or less frost on Thursday night in Illinois and neighboring States.

La our opin- jon the crop bas not. reeeived any material damage. The ear was well protected by a jux- urious frowth of leaves. which the frost has not yet heen severe epongh to penetrate. We still believe, and the feeling generaily per- vading the minds of corn operators gives ad- ditonal force, that the crop will be one of the lergest and best that the We-t hasever pro- duced, provided It shall be favored with x clear weather for about two weeks.” B7-The Annual Convention of the Protestant bo Church of the Diocese of New York assembledat New York yesterday.
