superior advantages. Ii is very extensively
read and with the greatest interest, from It's
presenting matters and things OF daily occur
renee directly in our midst. 1t can also speak,
and does speak, of the special advantages of
different establishments in this city for the va

express these views from actual experience,
realizing daily in my business, from presenting
it to the public through the Telegraph, much
more than the cost of advertising, for which l

A WASHINGTON MERCHANT
A short time since gentleman said to q mer-
chant on the Avenue, ~ wonder you do not
manifest an interest in the welfare of the Iele-
graph, for its success cannot but prove benef-
cial to your business, and that of merchants
generally in Washington" The reply was
awe have given some attention to the subject,
and made inquiry Of persons acquainted acih the
newspaper business, and have been assured that
the Telegraph cannot live, and therefore num-
Der Of us have determined not to patronise it. 1t
is, moreover" he added, too much welded to
the interests of working-men and such like radi-
calism to suit our views"
Although we are very grateful to those who
have so literally favored US, we can assure this
gentleman and the "number" united with him,
firstly, that, recognising his rights to the full
extent, we have no unkind feelings toward him;
and, secondly, as he is no doubt by this time
convinced, his advisers were in error, and our
vitality will continue, even in defiance of the
combined influence he betrayed The "num-
however, among the merchants of Washington.
They are too sharp, and no disclaimers of hard
hands that carry bright dollars in their palms!
POLICE MAGIsTRATEs.-The City Councils, in
joint meeting, yesterday evening elected the

w. Thompson, esq.,, Fifth District.
James Crandell, esq. Sixth District.
Craven Ashford, esq, Seventh District.
The election for the Third District Police
Magistrate was postponed. This we believe,
was in consequence of the present inability of
j. L. Smith, esq, to remove his dwelling into
the Ward, as required by the recent law.
We are pleased to observe that the Councils
have made move towards procuring more
suitable watch-house than the present.
