The National ReI11iIlscdn's Ad-
d'erfiSin0 JOB.

". j. Murtagh, editor and proprie-
tor of the National Republican, brought
suit againstthe District commissioners
on tuesday to recover SAT 900, the
amount claimed by him as remaining
due for the advertising OF tax sales last
June, $50, ,000.having already been paid
by the commissioners on account. The
claim is based upon q specific contract
for the advertising at the rate of one
dollar per line, the lines being one-third
longer than usual width. The declara-
ton In the suit afilrms that the COM
missioners recognized the contract as
valid and paid money on it, and they
collected delinquent taxes at the rate
of one dollar per line, but after discov-
ering that the advertising covered a
period of ten years, ard that the total
sum OF Murtagh's bill would reach
nearly 800, 900, they attempted to pur-
suade him 10 make compromise. He
claims that his suit is simply to compel
the District government to abide by its
own contract, and asserts that the rates
are not as high as those paid to some
other journals for advertising special
