CITY INTELLIGENCE.

TO commence, persons that have anything to sell
Except their prnciples) would do well to consider
the advantages Of the Organ as a medium We
would not make oath that we have the largest cir
culaton In the city nor is it necessary to inform
the American portion Of the community that il is
large and all the time increasing. But it may be
well for all to bear in mind that our circulation is
with the most substantial people in and around the
District, aud that information of the existence of
any particular class of goods is very apt to meet
the eye OF people able to buy. We have never
claimed anything in this way from our party on
the score OF favor Any man in this go-ahead day,
who does not recognise the value of advertising to
any lawful business must fall behind in the Of
successful enterprise, and justly deserves his fate
1t may not be improper for the Ants to be remind
ed that, though lousy, Chrstless set" Ameri-
cans have some money, and that the more space
they take up In advertising, the less we have for
what they are pleased TO consider reasonable"
g unconstitutional" and dangerous doctrines
" Hope don't intrude !"
THE TENNESSEE BLocK.--The Star of Saturday
has the following:
We are authorized by Mr. William Dougherty
to state in relation to the charge in the Organ of
yesterday, of his having mutated the Tennessee
block Of marble, forwarded from that State to be
placed in the Washington National Monument,
that II the present acting Board of Managers be-
lieve what is there asserted, they know how to
obtain redress; and that he win be ready at any
time TO meet the investigation. He likewise wishes
them TO know that he not only has specimen Of
the Tennessee block at his residence. but one of
the blocks from every State in the Union"
As some Of the 'acting board" may not read
the Star, we give it entire Ifwhat was originally
said is considered charge, and worthy Of notice,
it strikes us that it should be met as charge and
either acknowledged denied The acting"
board will OF course, consider the invitation, If
they can spare the time from devisng the ways
and means to do what the old board confessed they
could not do. As to the gentlemans lapidarian
and antiquarian taste, which must be quite exten
sive since he has not only specimen of the Ten
nessee, but every other block, we have nothing
particular to say, but must submit to the "actng"
board, that if many of them should be similarly
affected and each to the extent ofa tdble-top they
had better issue orders, forthwith, that all future
blocks shall be sent in tnplicate, or they will not
reach their destination.
AS the Pope's block has been brought into the
connection, it would not, perhaps be out of place
to say, that if it really did come from the Pope,
it was received contrary to the expressed public
sentiment of the country, as shown by thou
sands of circumstances on file at the Office
While the American party would not be consid-
cred as in any manner justifying violence Or van
dalism, it cannot see how Romanists can COM
plain that no offering should be received from
man who, had Washington died within his do
minions would have refused him Christian burial.
Poorly GooD.-A negro boy stole Joe Pentland's
Shirt aud was duly nabbed Sam. W., meeting
the " caravan" going to the dispensary" Of JUS
tice, inquired what the boy had done?
Stole Miss Pentlans shirt sir, was the reply
of one
I" Was it his uniform shirt 2" inquired he.
"No! it was his everyday shirt"
"We, what is that but uniform shirt ?" said
the excruciator--and all done in two minutes
Mr.. Sockdologer, who Is great moralizer, thinks
the reason the shirt was stolen was because the
porters did not receive free tickets to the Circus
Who knowss He merely throws out the sugges-
ton.
LIBERAL LANDLoRD.--In these days of hard
times and tight landlords, it is truly refreshing to
note the lberality of of our good citizens who
in persuading J. p. to take his vacant house, who
thought the rent too high, promised to make up
the difference to him in the novel, but certainly
very sure plan Of knocking some man down near
the house every night. We left before the bar
gain was made, not being willing to be considered
pdrticeps criminis but warn the parties that If
certain neighborhood gives us many items, we wish
to be counted Gin" SO far to dividing the fees
but not the knocking down part.
HOSE AGAIN--In the American Organ Of Satur-
day there is an article headed washington Hose, +"
in which they claim No. 2, and say that they were
organized on the 18th of July. If they can show
any proof that they did organize and elect officers
before the 23d of August, we will willingly give up
No 2 if not we will stick to it through thick and
thin. L. LAssELLE, Sec.
