The facilities Afforded us to produce a tho.
rough national newspaper are greater than are
enjoyed oy the publishers OF any other journal
| IN tine country, for the Following reasons;
LIST. The REPUBLICAN Is published at Wash.
ington City, the seat OF the National Govern
ment.
I'd. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

one paper as the Official medium of oil the Exc
cutive Departments OF the Government, we take
pleasure IN stating that he has done us the
h0nort0 select the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN under
the law OF Congress referred to.
ID. The Congress and the Supreme Court and
the Court OF claims OF the United States, sever
ally Sit here during each year, and we employ
corps OF able REPORTERS, whose duty II "a
10 furnish the daily records Of those high tri-
| ounah.
4th. washington being the Headquarters for
an tne operations oil the Army aud Navy of
tho United States, by virtue Of the relations ex-
isting between the Government and the Ma
Ti0SAL REPUBLICAN, referred to above, nothing
That Is proper TO publiss, OF Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
5th. Our Foreign Relations" now nero
Important than ever, Will be tho subject Of our
constant and paternal care.
9th. The Finances OF the Government, which
always affords an ample field for the journalist,
snail meet win tho most careful attention of
the undersigned. Some of the ablost writers
| In the United States are frequently employed to
discuss the subject In the REPUBLICAN.
tn. Our Postal arrangements, so important
to the people OF every community, be 1t large
or small, especially to those who can read and
write, are duly noted In the several changes to
which they arc subject during the year.
sth. Inc great interests represented by the
several bureaus OF the Interior Department
viii not be overlooked In the WEEKLY REPuD.
lIcAS. Especially shall we keep our Agricul-
lurai readers, throughout the country, posted
up concerning everything OF public interest In
the Agricultural Bureau.
pth. The Patent Office, being within five
minutes walk Of our Office OF publication, II
will be an easy matter, as 1t will be pleasure
Tor us to keep the inventor and Artzan advised
OF all improvements.
iOth. lhesmithsonian Institute, established
In Washington, having already become one Of
the highest scientific institutions in the nation,
we shan ayail ourselves OF the advantages ofits
bareaus OF Art and Science to enrich our col
umns for the instruction OF onr readers.
lith. Washington being the central city Of
the Union, the learned and influential men
every class In society congrcgate here. military,
naval, and civil officers Of the General and
stale, and territorial governments representa-
tires OF every branch of business taxed by the
Internal Revenue Laws-ieputations of citizens
for purposes of State, and politicians and thco-
logians or every stripe, who come In flocks,
some for ollice, some for business, and some
for pleasure. Each and all of these c mers
ana goers increase our labors, and contribute
to enhance the value of the columns OF tho Re-
PUBLICAN In some manner.
l2th. The official, civil, and unclvil repre-
sentatlves of every foreign nation on the GARTH
are found here, and cannot act or move uuher. =.
aided by our active attaches.
Above, In general form, we have given
hoe.ne reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
published In the City of Washington, possesses
greater facilities for obtaining oil tho import
ant news of the day, OF every description, than
any other jour AL In the United States. The
highest evidence Of this, which relieves us from
the charge OF eyotism, is the fact witnessed all
over the nation daily (by those who care to oh
serve it) tkat the leading, widest circulated,
and most influential journals in the United
States gather the most important Departmental
news, especially of our military and naval
operations, official and otherwise, from the
columns OF the NATIONAL RGPUBLIcAs. This
Is iine In fac. of the well known fact that
many Of the proprietors Of those journals pay
enormous sums of money yearly to "Asso-
c.ated Press" and Especial Correspondents,
so called, to furnish them with the current
news OF the day. We regret to say, in this
connection, that those cspoudents do not
always inform their employers that thoy are
not the authors of many Of the most important
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex-
pense Of four cents pr wori, by creditlGg them
to the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, as they in JUS
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit us when they encroach so far as
to telegraph our ohtoriIts, bodily, as heiuy
