TO ADVERTISERS. | 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 of Washington having the largest Circulation : ‘The retarns of advertising by the city papers for the quarter ending September 30, 1955, as taken from the books of the Internal Revenue Office, are as follows: THE CABLE HUMBUG. The Atlantic Cable Managers are eternally telegraphing the great things they are going to do. They announce, for the fiftieth time,that they expect soon to reduce the cable tariff, “proba- bly one-half.” They had better increase the amount of news sent, which is now reduced to the minimum. It would appear that the press mews is given the go-by for the benefit of pri- vate speculative news, since, while the news- papers have been getting little or nothing, the Managers announce that in “fifty-five days the cable earned forty-six thousand pounds!” So itseems an immense amount of business was beimg transacted over the cable while the press ‘was getting nothing. Is this the fault of the Osbie Managers or the Associated Press! There is a screw loose somewhere. pS OE Leena ie Sar i CLAIM AGENTS AND SOLDIERS BOUNTIES. The Atiorney General, on the Sth instant, in reply to the Secretary ot War, on the point re- ferred for opmion in the ease, gives an elap- orate opinion. concluding as follows: «1 am therefore of the opinion that you have no legal authority to exclude authorized attor- meys apd agents from collecting bounties, and that in the presentation and payment of claims the claiment may act by attorney.” The Attorney General arrives at this concla- sion because upon 3 careful examination of all the sections of the act which provides for the additienal bounty. he finds no provision which Tequires the claimant to present his ctaim in person, or that requires the payment to be made to the claimant im person. The bounty given by this act is not given to | each soldier by name, in the way of an abso- lute gift, where nothing is to be done but only clam, and receive it. But the persons who = prove their claim, and mast exact- ly co! rm to the various forms and reguia- tions before tRey can touch the money. The pursuit of a right to bounty is well called a claim, and might as well be called a suit. It is A right that is not acknowledged, as of course it must be established by proot made accor Jing to certam forms, and finally adjudicated and allowed or rejected. it is very analogous to a claim made in 8 court ot law, especially to that class Of suits which are ez parte, and in general Bay just as much require the intervention of an attorney. It is ceriain that if this act should be construed so ss to require every soldier and every child of soldier te make the claim in person, and collect the money in person, com. poratives few could avail themselves of the | unty of the Government. | IMPORTANT TO CLAIM AGERTS. The Attorney Genera} has, in a communica- tion to the Secretary of War, said that there is no legal authority to exclude authorized at- totnevs and agents from collecting bounties, and that in the prosecution of claims the claim- ants may act by attorney. This decision of the Attorney General is rendered in reply to a reference which had been made to him by the Secretary of War of an opinion of the Paymas- ter General that powers of attorney in the col- lection of clams would not be recognized. foot d a Be aot mdi rie CONSCIENCE MONEY. A communication bas been received at the Treasury Department trom a person formerly holding 4 position in the U.S. Army, enclosing five hundred dollars, which had been put mto bis bands by a soldier as part of his bounty money, who afterwards deserted. Having been unable to find any trace of the soldier the writer of the communication has finally con- cluded to put the sum into the Treasury. A communieati etclosing two hundred dollars bas also been received, as being due to the Government. LAND OPERATIONS. Returns from the Branch Land Office at De- troit, show that during September public lands were disposed of as follows: located with Agri- cultural College sc 3,104 acres; with mili- tary warrants, 3.942; der the homestead act, 1,235, sold tor cash, 2,s0t; total, 11,087 acres. entre ene har-rnd Digs. LANDER.—Mrs. General Lander, so admiringly remembered in her dramatic per- formances, when Miss Jean Davenport, is now electrifying the New Yorkers by her perform- Ances at Winter Garden. The New ‘York Times epeaks of her as the peer of Rachel in the part of Adrienne, and especially in the cele- brated death scene. The other New York papers speak of her performance as th® most Temarkable and satisfactory witneseed there | for years.

The rain continues as we go to press, and the water in Rock Creek, never so high before, is still rising. The current ts very rapid, and the lossto property-bolders along its banks is very heavy, particularly between this city and Georgetown, and a sbort distance above. The danger wes perceived early this morning, and property owners went to work to secure their effects, but the current has been so stro! and the rise so rapid that a vast amount o} property has been carried away. The bridge | near Lyon's mill, anda smalier bridge from | that ijorcny 6 were reported as carried away atanearly hour. About 11 o'clock the “paper | mill bridge,” which has just been repaired, was carried eff, and about the same time two small ijrame buildings were seen floating down the stream, One of them bad the chimney stand- | ing and a number of rats were seen scamper- ing about on the roof as if looking for a place ofsatety. Jas. Wardell's boat house and boat, near the Aqueduct bridge, were carried away about the same time. The water soon reached a height to fill all the buildings and sheds of the lime-kilns from Bridge street othe mouth of the creek. The lossto Mr. Dowling, who has the lime-kilns above the upper bridge, is estimated at $2,000. Simms’ planing mill, at the foot of Washington street, suffered severely. A part of the brick building was carried away early, and about 1% o'clock another portion fell. The frame office of W. Godey, ice merchant, was made fast with ropes, but was tarned over *y the force of the water, All of the wood in Dixon & King's wood-yard has apparently been swept away. though it cannot be ascertained until the water subsides. . ©. Heiston & Co. have lost about fifty cords of wood that was piled on the mall near the creek. The Govern- ment coal yards are completely under water. There is great consternation among the prop- erty owners in this vicinity, as the votume of water appears to be increasing hourly. The Potomac is rising and the continuance of eas- terly winds will be likely to overflow the wharves with the next tide. A dispatch from Harper's Ferry was received in Georgetown warping the merchauts to prepare fora tresh- et as the water is higher than ever before known in that region, reaching to the Railroad ticket office and stopping railroad travel. Tbe railroad trains due here at 5.45, 8 35, 10.25, and 11.35, all arrived here between 12 and 1 o'clock to-day. They came along cau- ueusly moving over the embankment at Say- age Switcb,and immediately after their arrival here @ train was dispatched to Baltimore, taking the through passengers for that point. The company eae, put a large force of bands at work this morning at Savage, repair- ing the embankment, and by this time, doubt- less, they have removed all danger.

The causeway from Galt & Brown’s wharf (foot of 17th street) to the Monument Point is standing the pressure nobly. although the water is over the earth works. In the neighborhood of 3d street the water is over the banks, and there is some danger that the little foot bridge at that point will be carried off.
