the editor and his subscribers. Many per-
sons act on the false presumption that the
publisher of a newspaper is mere solicitor
offavors, while the reader, with patronizing
air, bestows the honor Of his subscription
upon him.
Nothing of the kind could be more alb
surd and foolish than this mistaken idea
We admit that the publisher is under obi
cation to his readers but, on the other
hand, so ave the readers under obligation
to the publisher. Their obligations, to say
the least, are entirely mutual The pub
Usher gives his talents, his money, his time,
his operations, his paper, ink, Office rent,
types, press, and all the other indispensables
OF practical newspaper and printing es-
Enlistment. The reader gives his one cent
for a copy Of the paper, for the profit and
pleasure Of reading it, or he gives, in ad-
dition, the price ofhis advertisement, which
is inserted and circulated for his own bene-
Fit.
Now, according to this view of the case,
who is the real patron, the publisher or the
reader? In all candor and honesty we be-
Ieve the community must admit that the
balance Of testimony is on the side Of the
former
public press well conducted is public
blessing. What would be the condition of
cur country to-day if every newspaper
establishment within our borders were to
be at once suspended? Where, in a short
time, would be the rights and liberties Of
the people? How soon the tyrant would
put his feet upon their necks, and his sword
into their hearts.
The first movement Of the present En-
per0r OF France towards the destructi on of
the Republic was the virtual demolition of
the printing press. The suppression Of the
otfsprlngs Of the free mind, in the form Of
printed appeals to the people, was the signal
Tor tramping out the fires of liberty among
the mountains Of Jura, the passes Of the
Rhone, the Rhine and the Danube, and the
classic plains Of Italy.
What is true Of the Old World is equally
true acre in the New. Our people want an
Independent press here as much as the strue
Cling millions want it there. And this is
especially true of Washington-the capital
of the Republic. There are ll-potent rea-
sons why newspaper, wholly independent
of party or sect, should be literally patron
lied at the seat of the national government.
Such paper is the Daily ETvening Star.
1t is not all. We have wished it to be, in
point of appearance and the character of
Its contents. But it IS, and will always be,
o strictly independent paper; a paper
showing justice to all parties, furnishing
the latest reliable intelligence, presenting a
great variety of miscellaneous reading; and
in all respects, when improved, as we intend
it shall be, proving worthy of the generous
and continued support of the citizens of
Washington and the United States

OUR AVENUES.

OUR AVENUES.
Mr.. EDIToR:-hluch has been said in
advocacy of railway from the Capitol to
Georgetown; still l am not impressed with
the Importance of such project. know
that it would be an accommodation to the
travelling public, and also for the transit of
freight; but the traveller can find an omnibus
every five or ten minutes upon this line.
and the latter can find equal facility through
an avenue running parallel with the line
proposed, but in more northern part of
the city, and more advantageously situated
for connection with the Washington
Branch Railroad.
1t certainly cannot be forgotten that
General Jackson, when President of the
United States, prohibited the crossing of
Pennsylvania Avenue by the Washington
Branch Railroad, although sanctioned by
the corporate authorities and candor
compels me to say that he was actuated by
sense of public justice, and the future
welfare of our city. The wisdom of that
decision has since been manifested in the
fact, that the very authorities who had
granted the right to cross the avenue some
fifteen years ago, lately refused to re- charter
the same company unless they would recede
upon their line full quarter of a mile
this they did, and erected a beautiful and
commodious depot. I do not care how
arbitrary measure may appear to be, if it
be backed by a strong sense of the public
good; and there is nothing that exalts man
higher in the estimation of his fellow men,
than to stand above all influences that
offend sense of justice
In connection with the subject which
heads this article, that is, maintaining and
securing the beauty Of our avenues, I should
like to know by what authority, or what
sense Of justice or public good, has the
''camels hump been made On New JERSEY
Avenue, north of the Capitol, between II
and K streets. [ consider this as one Of
the greatest outrages that has ever been
inflicted on the public convenience; there
is not the least show of necessity, though, I
believe, there is a lame apology for it. Who
cannot foresee that this avenue is to be one
of the great thoroughfares Of the northern
part of our city? 1t forms direct route
to the railroad station, as well as to the
Capitol; and shall the beauty of this
avenue be thus marred to accommodate an
individual interest? hope not. Shall we
let it remain for the present to suit q certain
interest, or wait until these interests shall
have increased an hundred fold; when
solid blocks of houses, side walks, and shade
trees, extend from one extremity to the
other. Then, and not till then, will the
authorities see the necessity of reducing
this ''huge Olympus" There is but one
opinion expressed by every beholder. which
is, that it should come down; then in the
sacred name of justice let it be done. P.

B@g@ Madame Pulsky, in her new book
on the Americans, tells the following
anecdote, which shows how republican pride
can be combined with courtesy:
can American traveller, in St Petersburg,
went on foot in March, when the snow was
melting after a sudden rain The streets
presented the aspect of puddles, separated
at the crossings by a ridge of more solid
snow, over which the foot passengers worked
their toilsome way. The American was
just in the midst Of such a snowbridge,
when he suddenly recognized the Grand
Duke Constantine, in plain clothes, followed
by his aid de-camp, coming from the OPP
posite side. The foot path between the two
puddles was not broad enough to let two
persons by, and MIR. X X x did not wish
to turn his back uncourteously to the prince
by returning from whence he came, nor
step servilely into the water; he therefore,
pulling out his purse, presented it to the
Grande Duke, and asked s:Odd or event.
"Even," answered the astonished prince.
'.You are right, Imperial Highness, and 1
have lost and must give way" said the
American, and stepped into the water.
The prince was highly pleased with his
proceeding and the American received on
the next day an invitation to dine with the
Emperor"
