" stb. me great interests represented by the
sereral Bureaus of the Interior Department
will NOT be overlooked In the WEEKLY RKPUB.
tICLN. Especially shall we keep our Agricul-
tural readers, throughout the country, posted
mn concerning everything OF public interest In
the Agricultural Bureau.
9th. The Patent Office, being within Eve
minutes walk Of our office Of publication, il
will be an easy matter, as It will be a pleasure
for us to keep the Inventor and ArtiZan advised
Of all improvements.
10Th. The Smithsonian Institute, established
In Washington, having already become one Of
the highest scientific institutions In the nation,
we shall avail ourselves OF the advantages oflts
| Bureaus of Art and Science to enrich our col
umns for the instruction OF our readers.
18th. Washington being the central city OF
| the Union, the learned and influential men O
every class In society congregAte here-military,
naval, and civil officers Of the General and
State, and territorial acknowledgement
tives of every branch Of business taxed by the
Internal Revenue STANDARDIZATION of citizens
for purposes of State, and politicians and theo.
logians OF every stripe, who come In nochs,
some for office, some for business, and some
| for pleasure. Each and all of these corners
and goers increase our labors, and contribute
to enhance the value Of the columns OF the Re.
PUBLICAN in some manner.
18th. The official, civil, and uncivl repre-
sentatlves OF every foreign nation on the earth,
are found here, and cannot act or move unher.
aided by our active attaches.
Above, in a general form, we have given
t,Delve reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
published in the City Of Washington, possesses
| greater facilities for obtaining all the import.
| ant news oil the DAY, OF every description, LlAl
any other Journal in the United States. The
highest evidence of this, which relieves us from
the charge Of egotism, is the fact witnessed all
over the nation daily (by those who care to oh
serve it) that 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 REPUBLICAN. This
IL true in face of the well known fact that
many of the proprietors of those Journals pay
enormous sums of money yearly to "Asso
ciated Pressn and Especial Correspondents, y
AZ called. TO furnish them with tho current
news of the day. We regret TO say, in this
Connection, that those correspondents do moi
always inform their employers that they ART
moi t6e authors of many Of the most important
dispatches they send over the wires al an er
pense of four cents per cord, by creditlng then
10 Inc NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In Jus
lice should do. We especially think the,
sbould credit us when they encroach so far al
To telegraph our editorials, bodily, as beinI
H,ir o,eJ, compositions. However, we beg par
don for Ais complaining depression, and will
NOT deny that we observe. in all this unfair
ness a compliment TO our Industry on the PAR
oS these plagiarists,
PolidcallS the REPUBLICAN will support Al
earnestly as possible the civil and mllitar,
