the highest scientific institutions in the nation
we shall avail ourselves Of The advantages oft
Bureaus of Art and Science 70 eHriCh cur col

18th. Washington being the central city o
the Union, the learned AMI influential men o
every class in society congregpte hGrG--military
naval, and civil officers of the General an,
State, and territorial s-rcprescnta
tives of every branch Of business taxed by til

| Above, In a general form, we have givel
t,ot!ye reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBIICAS
published in the City of Washington, possesGr
greater facilities for obtaining all the import
ant news of the day, Of every description, tina
any other Journal In the United States. TIL
highest evidence of this, which relieves Us frol
the charge of egotism, Is the fact witnessed a
I over the nation daily (by those who care to o
: serve it) that the leading, widest circulated
j and most influential journals in the lutte
! States gather the most important Department.
I news, especially of our military and navi
!. operations, Official and otherwise, from tL
!, columns of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Ihi
3 Is true in face of the well known fact tina
many of the propreturs of those journals pa
enormous sums of money yearly TO "Asso
ciated Press" and Especial Correspondents, :
so called, to furnish them with the currun
news of the day. We regret to say, in thi
connection, that those correspondents do no
always inform their employers that they ar
not the authors of many Of the most importan
dispatches they send over tho wires at an eX
pense OF four cCius per rOrd, by crediting then
10 the NATIoHAL REPUBLICAN, as they in jus
tiCe should do. We especially think the
should credit Us when they GnCroGCh SO far d
= to telegraph our editorials, bodily, rs brIn
their O,rn compositions. However, We beg paI
don for this complaining depression, aud vii
not deny that We observe, in all this unfail
ness, a compliment TO our industry on the raT
of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support a
; earnestly as possible the civil and militar
policy OF the present Administration, Will
that policy Is for Freedom In its broadest IN
, highest sense, and against SlGVry. Win q
