Capital. ..


The Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. .Esening Post writes in late letter:
The Republican Association of this city
have issued circular making strong APP
peal to the Republican members of Congress
to maintain Republican campaign paper at
Washington. The circular says: "We have
the most satisfactory assurances from fell
low citizen eminentiy qualified for the un-
dertaking, Mr.. Lewis Clephane,) that he will
establsha Republican paper here, and MAIN
tain the same without any extrinsic aid, if
the enterprise can be relieved of the burden
above alluded to. All that he requires is,
that o sufficient sum shall be raised by con
tribution to defray the simple expense of
paper and press-work, to supply said sub
scribers with the papers that are still due
them. Ho asks no aid for the future; but
simply to be relieved from the burden of
debts which are already due to your constitu-
ents, and which debts must necessarily be
assumed by him if he undertakes the enter
prise.p Ij4 ({ilABBlRa LAUA8l
Five thousand dollars are required to carry
out the above proposal and the Club pledges
five hundred dollars Of that sum, and TO raise
one thousand subscribers to the paper in the
District. The new journal, If started, will be
called the Republican Era. 20

INCREASE OF FRENCH WINES IN. ENGLAND
In report made to the French Emperor by
treaty with England on the part of France
NJ. Baroch and M. Rouher, the writers, base
their calculations for the increase of French
wines in England by comparison with the
consumption in other countries. How little
wine is at present drank in England is shown
by the following statement; The yearly con-
sumption per head is, in Austria 81 liter in
Spain, 33; in Portugal, lOG in Switzerland,
56; in France, 100 and in England only /
liter 1t is therefore fair to suppose the
conditions of the treaty win largely increase
