CIRCULATION OF THE CITY PRESS. | The following is the official showing of the efrculation of the daily papers of this city competing for the Government advertising ‘under the recentact of Congress directing such | Sdvertising to be made in the two daily news- Papers ot Washington having the largest | circulation : | EVENING STAR | Anteiligencer. THK HEALTH OF THE OITY. | ‘We regret to see that the Washington agent | of the Associated Press has gone into the busi- Bess of villifying the city, practised to such an | extent by less responsible correspondents hard ep for items. He sends allover the country the following statement to the prejudice of Warbington “The exemption of this city from cholera | disproves the theory that it seeks filthy local. ities Now he knows quite well that, though Wash- | ington ts, from its wide unpaved streets, a | dusty ¢ nO sense a filthy city, and he | must kno the Metropolit that the city authorities and | a police have been unceasing in their efforts to keep the city in acleanlyeon- | dition in view of threatened disease, and the result is shown in the gratifying fact that the Irightiul epidemic that has scourged almost every other locality in the country has thus tar | effected no lodgement bere. We trust that | some Umely relief from the present famine of | news may enable the Associated Press agency | here to supply its customers with items less disparaging to Washington and having a rea- | sonable foundation in fact. | ANOTHER SLANDER EXPOSED. The slander upon Col. H. B. Beecher, son of | Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, which recently appeared in the Chicago Tribune, having had & wide circulation in radical papers, that clergyman publishes astatement from the War Department, approved by Hon. Edwin M- | Stanton, Secretary of War, showing that First Lieutenant Heury Barton Beecher. Fourth United States Artillery, (son of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.) was appointed Second Lieu- | tenant 30th November, 1561: was promoted | First Lieutenant lith August, 1563; brevetted | Captain tor meritorieus services at whe battle | of Cold Harbor, Va. That at the last session of Congress he was nominated Bre vet Major sud Lieutenant Colonel for faithful and meri- torious services during the war, and his nom. | ination confirmed by the Senate. Also, that | Ae was not at any time court-martialed and dis- missed the service; that mo charges have been | made against him, afd that his record and mili- | tary standing is that of a faithful and meritarin ¢ officer un the military service of the United States. The New York Post (Republiémn) says: j “Thus this vile slander is exposed What | can be thought of persons who, to gratify a Malignant spite agaicst the father for differing political opinions, attack the char- | on, & + faithful and meritorious ot- ficer* of the Union army! Mr. Beecher thinks loyal Representatives from southern districts | Ought to be admitted to Congress: thereupon bis opponents, apparentiy unable to answer his arguments, try to blacken the character of bis son.” “THE CamMr,Tug BATTLE-rIRLD AND THE Hosrivat: OR LIGHTS AND Suapows oF Tire GReEaT REBELLION,” is the title of a work by Dr. L.
