“ee THE EVENING STAR. The Largest Cifeatation in the’ District W. D. WALLACH, Editor and Preprister. WASHINGTON OITY: SATURDAY: sees JUNE 8%, 1867. B7 READING MATTEE ON BVERY PAGE. SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. @&? The following is the official showing of the daily circulation of the papers named be- low, made under the call directed by the re- cent act of Congress: EVENING STAR, 7,715 copies per day. Intelligencer... 3,552 « “ ‘Fhe returns of advertising by the same city papers for the quarter ending December 31, 1866, a8 taken from the books of the Internal Revenue Office, are as follows: EvEntIne STAR, Intelligencer... $13,197 9,108 see -—___ ENLARGEMENT OF THE EVENING STAR. in consequence of the steadily increasing pressure upon the advertising columns of the STAR, it has been apparent for some time that the paper must be enlarged in order to do jus- tice to both readers and advertisers. For months it has been adaily question in “making up the forms” which should give way, the advertising matter or the news matter. Not unfrequently the former has crowded the reading matter down to less than five columns: and even then from three to four celumns of advertisements have been left on the galleys, for which there was no room in the paper. The purpose to enlarge has only waited ex- ecution until a fallin the price of materia) should make it feasible, so that the blank sheet should not cost more than toe price of the paper printed. The price of paper is not yet suff ciently reduced to altogether justify the proposed enlargement; but the necessity, ag above stated. is so imperative—if reading matter is not to be crowded out altogether by advertisements—that we have con- cluded to undertake it. We shall, therefore, at the commencement of the next volume, en the first of July, add a column more to each page, and lengthen each column; ma- king twenty-eight columns instead of twenty- four. The readers of the Stax will then re- ceive a paper about one-fifth larger in size without an increase of price. With this en- largement we shall be able to accemmodate the business public and also to give much addi- tional reading matter. On the first of July, 1967, when we propose to enlarge the paper tothe dimensions men. uoned, the STR will enter upon its thirtieth volume. The STar came into the possession of its present editor and publisher on the 3d of July, 1953, when its circulation and business ‘was A mere bagatelle in comparison to its cir- culation and business ef to-day. The secret of its success has been iis steady devotion to the substantial interests of the District of Colum- bia, without regard to the interests of Political partizans, backed by efficient and sensible business management on the part of all con- cerned in any branch of its publication. lts Success has at all times engendered efforts to break it down, of course to the end ot elutch- ing what were conceived to be its profits. OF THE REASON WHY We see that quite @ number of our co- temporaries are using exclamation poin‘s over the announcement that the Southern Sta'es have swept off all the bomors at West Point. The six best scholars at West Point, appointed during the war, hail from 5.20's, the South, and nine of the places on the scale of general taken this year by men appointed frem South. The inquiry is also raised if the Sout was considered entitled to cadet prtvilezes | by Prussia next week. during the war. We think we can makea sat. isfactory explanation—one that will perhaps soothe the rufiied pride of the Northern States. itso happens that the successfui graduates accredited tothe South really belong to the | 652., Sugar, 26s, Other articles unchanged, Northern and Western States, who, having Gistinguisbed themselves by gallant services in the Union army during the early part of the war, were nominated to West Point as from Southern States, in order to fill up the allot. ment of cadets accorded to those States pre- vious to the rebellion. The citizens of those States had cut themselver off from the privi- leges of West Point scholarship by going into the rebellion, but, as above stated. under the rule of apportionment, gallant, meritorious Union boys from the North were sent to West Point accredited to these Southern States. RUTUEN OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.— Postmaster General Randall returned to the city this morning, on thesix o'clock train from Richmond, and was at his office to-day. FINANCIAL.—The securities held by the Treasurer of the Uniced States in trust for National Banks reported areas follows: For circulating notes, $340,596,500; for deposits of public moneys,$99, 102,950. Total, $379,699,450. The amount of Nationat Bank currency is- sued during the week was $35,700. making the total amount issued up to date $302,936,8U6. rom this should be dedueted ,the amount of currency returned incldding worn out notes amounting to $4,834 627, leaving in actual cir- culation at this date, $295,10%,179. During the week there has been received from the printers $330,000 in fractional cur- rency. During the same period there has been 4 forwarded to the Assictant Treasurer at New York, $100,000; United States Depository at Chicago, $50,000: Assistant freasurer at Phil- adelphia, $200,000; Assistant Treasurer at Boston, $100,(00; national banks and others, $241,922.16; total, $691.922 16. The amount of fractional currency re- deemed and destreyed at the Treasury during the week was $378,500. The receipts from internal revenue to-day were $565,968.66, making the total amount for the week ending to-day, $5,450,144 4, and the total since the begining of the present fiscal year, $252,039,637.32. DisrosaL oF Punlic LaNnp.—The Uom- missioner of the General Land Office has re- ceived returns showing that 27,8 eres of the public land were disposed of during the month of May tast at East Saginaw, Michigan, and 5,000 acres disposed of at Oregon UVity during the month of April. The greater portion of the land was taken for actual settlement and cultivation, under the Homestead law.

W. MOORE, Secretary. THE REC R MONTHLY MEETING of the WASHINGTON CITY SUNDAY OOL UNION will be held in the New York these efforts we remember that of the Globe, (the firet,) which, however, grew out ofa per- sonal difficulty between the STaR’s proprie- tor and that of the Globe, who spent & con- siderable sum in the yain attempt to givethat journal a popular character and turn, while fulfilling its excellent function in Publishing the debates and proceedings of Congress verbatim. This attempt cost perbaps forty.or fifty thousand dollars, Next we remember that of the American Organ. Some thirty business men of Washington, in- dignant against the STaR’s efficient opposi- tion to Know Nothingism, subscribed £15,000 to be expended in 1ts demolition. Their agents spent the money, as designed, right merrily. Hundreds who sympathized with them “stopped the STak,” and thereupon sought to borrow it daily from neighbors. Many others smashed their business by ceasing to advertise init. Soon finding that that policy on their part simpiy crippled themselves — not the Star—they were not long in again seeking space in its columns, in order again to reach the Dotice of all the members of nearly every household in the District of Columbia. In Addition to the $15,000 originally subscribed to break down the Srak, in the interest ot Know Nothingism, double that sum was gouged ont of our District Know Nothing leaders, great and small, in perpetuating the effort, until Thorne’s Building, on 7th street, the famous Know Nothing headquarters, became even more famous for its insane efforts to break down the STaR. We next remember the more formidable attempt of the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas to demolish the Stax, in whieh he, Mri Jobn P. Heiss, and others, spent a hundred and eighty thousand dollars on the States and Union, only to realize that the task was too much forthem. Then we have had to encoun: ter some similar exploits on the part, first of the National Intelligencer, the burden of whose public and private lamentations Bas been that | the people of the District will perversely per- sistin reading the Star and doing business ‘With it despite its (the Antelligencer’s) ery- ing necessities. The Dem. Jack. Association, taking mortal offence at the STAR’s manful advocacy of the Unior cau arly im the re- bellion, undertook to drive it out of existence by kicking atitthrongh the Intelligencer and braying at it frequently through the Consti- tutional Union; to what abortive purpose all in Washington know well. Yet later. we have had to encounter the terrible wratn of the snort lived Leader and Dispatch, both born wholly of the purpose of demolishing the Stam. Meantime the Stag has steadily increased in presperity, simply because it bas always clearly perceived what are the true interests of the labor and capital of the District of Columbia, and has defended and advanced those interests, under any and all storms attempted to be generated against it by partizaa politicians hungry for office, or crazy enthusiasts who fancied for the nonce that had but to eay the word to induce all District business msn to gamble their business inter- e9ts on the wisdom and justice of their recom- meemaation that they should neither seek to buy from nor sell to any who held views of public affairs different trom theirs. TE STAE can, without egotism, claim tobe the most successful afternoon paper published in the United States. lte circulation has steadily gone up year after year, and is at this moment much higher than at any previous Period of its history, with the exception of the sWollen, abnormal issue at some inten sely exciting periods of the war. In view of the extensive daily circulation of the Star—many tumes larger thaa that ef the most prosperous of its cotemporaries—its advertising rates are far less in proportion to its circulation than those of any other paper In this District. The crowded condition of our ad celamns daily, and the number of fresh, live advertise. ments, show that the public duly appreciate the great value of the STAR as an advertising medium. With the increased space, sad, with our handsome new advertising type, our ad- ‘vertisers will be able te present their bids for public favor in the most attractive form. At the same time we shall be able to ada largely tothe interest of the reading matter ofthe STaR, and increase its already high repu:stion for ewes-enterprise, and unsurpassed local re- BETURN OF THE PRESIDENT, Col.

New ORLEans, June 7.—The Ranchero of June 1 publishes a letter dated San Luis Po- tost, May 18, which states tha! private nego- tiations some days previous to the surrender of Queretaro had been going on between three Impérial generals and the Liberals, to sell Que of the principal for $49,000. Gen. Miguel pez, who was high in the confidence of ximilian, was the principal actor in this treaty, and caused the sarrender. On sending a flag of truce with his sword to Escobedo, Maximiliam’tola him he surren- dered unconditionally, and had three favors to ask: he wished not to be insulted, but to be treated as a prisoner; that if any person was © be shot, he should be first; that if shot his body might not be anused. Maximilian and allthe officers above the rank of captain would arrive at San Louis in twe or three days. None were shot, and it was thought that none woald be, in conse- uence of the request made by the United tates. Saltillo dates to the 26th of May say that the Liberals now admit that up to the 7th the Im perialists were successful in every engag ment; from that time tothe 15th nothing im- portant transpired. Escobedo says that 15,000 prisoners surrendered, including 13 general officers and 500 officers of inferior grades. He states that no fighting whatever occurred, and the only shots fired were by the traitors upon their companions in arms. The surrender of the garrison was complete. Lopez, who acted as an escort to the Empress, was uncle to Ba- zaine, and a bosom friend to Maximilian. who was godfather to his first child, and by his prowess won the cross of the Legion of Honor. Col Mariana Campas and Mendez are report- ed to have been shot sometime shortly after the surrender. A letter from Monterey says that, irrespective of the wishes of the Government of the United States, Maximilian and his generals will be shot, as the strong and irreconcilable feelings of Juarez and his party to all foreigners are that all should be shot like dogs. The schooner Artelis, Capt. Castanza, from Tampico May 27th, arrived at Brownsville on the 3'st. He reports that at the time he left a fight was raging between Gomez and Pavon, a portion of Gomez's officers having pro- nounced against him. The fighting st »pped on the receipt of the news of the fall of (Que- retaro. : Impertant Decision—Private Telegrams gre mot Privileged Commrunications.
