CRIMINAL CoURT.-The Circuit Court being

Criminal Court, this court met yesterday in the
Council Chamber, City Hall. Quite large
crowd was in attendance.
Joseph Rosenberg was placed on trial,
charged with an assault and battery on Sam.
uel Bien. 1t appears that the accused and
others, being on little "jerry," were talking
rather loud, as the defendant was leaving his
store with his wife. Mr. Ben, thinking it was
friend who was talking, went up pretty close
to Mr.. Rosenberg to hear better what he was
saying. Mr.. B., being quite deaf, Mr.. Rosen.
berry mistook the idea Of the gentleman, and,
thinking it was only an act of impertinence,
proceeded to chastise him for it. A scuffle en-.
sued, in which Mr.. B. was knocked into the
gutter He was found guilty, but not SEN
fenced.
George Eslin was then tried, for participa
ting in the same affair, and found not guilty.
Terence McElone was tried for committing
an assault and battery on Edward Burk. He
was found guilty, and sentenced to pay fine
Of $40 and costs.
ALMOST FRosEN.-On Sunday night, an old
man was found lying on the Seventh street
road, about two miles from the city, in an al
most dying condition, from the effects of the
cold. He was carried to the dollhouse near by,

Prospectus of the National Republican.

Prospectus of the National Republican.
Believing that the time has arrived when the
great Republican party of the United States ought
to be fairly represented in the daily press of the
National Metropolis, we have embarked in the
enterprise Of supplying the citizens of the District
of Columbia with a daily publication, under the
title of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN"
In its political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles OF the Repub-
lican party, and endeavor to disabuse the public
mind of groundless prejudices which have been
engendered against it, by the false accusations
OF its enemies. Having the utmost confidence
that the administration of Mr.. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our appreciation, we expect to
yield it Il cordial but not servile support. In
the great issue that is likely to be made with his
administration, by the enemies of the Republican
party, the people of Washington ani the District
of Columbia have more at stake than the people
Of any other portion of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr. Lincoln's admnstra-
ton will be synonymous with maintaining the in-
tegrity of the Federal Union, against the machin-
atoms of those who would rend it asunder. No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people of Washington will he found, when they
come to realize that it is fairly forced upon them
We feel confident, therefore, that in yielding to
the administration Of Mr.. Lincoln cordial sup
port we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majority of the people Of this District and vicin-
ity.
1t is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium of general and local
news, it shall not be inferior to any other journal
published in this city. We shall pay particular
attention to questions Of local policy, and advo-
cate such reforms as we may deem essential to
the prosperity Of the city, and to the advance
ment of the moral and material welfare of its
inhabitants
We deem it unnecessary, however, to multi
ply promises, as the paper will Immediately make
its appearance and will then speak for itself.
1t will be published every morning, and de-
livered to city subscribers at six cents per week.
Mail subscribers, $3.50 year, payable in ad-
vance.
The publication Office is at the corner Of Indi-
ana avenue and Second street.

Corned beef, properly sailed, and
looked as it should be,is a dish fit for
De sovereign people; but 10 eat salt
A,nk, such as too often exercises the
he muscles of the jaws, is a penance
,pr a malefactor. Most OF the beef put
s aup for winter use is spoiled by the use
~. " too much salt, which destroys the
= avor and makes the meat stringy and
r,w. ugh. When beef is fresh it contains
caly considerable blood, which is drawn out
""' the brine. If the meat is lrf, in this
\ vturc it will require . mu'h larger
antity Of salt 10 preserve il, particu-
.arly through warm weather. My plan
is to make a brine by using for one
hundred pounds of beef, five pounds of
salt, onc::quartcr ounce saltpe're, and a
pound Of brown sugar. Thisis di.solv-
ed in just enough water to cover the
meat, and poured upon it. When it
has been in this brine two weeks, ]
take out my meat, let it drain, pour a
fresh brine over it, and then it will be
good the season through.
The cook who uses cornod beef should
not be SO ignorant or 90 INDECENT as TO
delay putting it over the fire until an
hour before dinner. \ good sized piece
requires three or four hours, steady
boiling to do it justice; insufficient
boiling must be made up by extra chew
ing. Always have the water boiling
before the meat is dropped in; other
wise the sweetness will be drawn II
Into the water. A boiling heat hardens
the outer surface at once, and thus
keeps in the juice which gives richness
and which contains most ofthc nourish-
ment. An excellent way Of cooking
corned beef is to have a large boiler
with a wire or wooden rack on the bot
tom, for the meat to rest on over the
water. When the water boils, place
the meat upon the rack and put on the
cover Of the boiler, with a cloth oye,.
it to keep in the steam. The heat Of
the steam will rise above the boiling
point, and penetrate the meat and cook
it more quickly and better than could
be done by boiling it in water.
