Public Advertising.

The law makes it the duty Of the Police
Commissioners to provide for advertising
in two newspapers of the city the boun-
diaries OF election districts and the location
Of places of registering and polling places,
and also to provide for advertising the
oflical canvass Of votes IN this city, as
soon as il is complete. These advertise
ments, rs We understand, they have now
contracted to have done by the World and
Tribune at the rate Of eight and a hall
cents n line, moderate rate enough.
The method of this contract, however, is
defective. The object being to secure the
widest practicable notoriety for the infor-
nation contained in these afvertisem ents,
the law should require the Commissioners
to base their contract for the work upon
the number of copies of each advertise
ment actually circulated within the town
by each paper Surprising, for instance,
that the World oirculates ia the city
twenty-five thousand copies daily, while
the Tribune only sends out ten thousand,
IL is manifest that the advertisement in the
World is worth twice and half IS much
as that in the Tribune, and that in the
Tribune only two-nfths rs much us that in
the World. This being the case, It would
be absurd 20 puy for them both at the
same rate, since justice requires everybody
TO be paid according to service actually
performed. aud not otherwise.
Tho law should compel all public officers
whose duty it is TO publish information OF
this sort 10 pay tor the advertisement, not
in the Jumping manner now in vogue, but
in proportion to the hundred or thousand
copies circulated within the locality to be
reached. This IS the only just and sensible
rule, and officials should DC made 10 OBJ
serve ii, in all advertising OF public
/ nature.

Advice TO the Republicans.

Tho Republicans have made an imme nse
campaign in Ohio and in Indinna, and il has
! fuled. In Ohio they have escaped defeat
by a margin so narrow that it is possible
TILDEN may carry the State in November:
and in Ind where they chiefly exerted
themselves. spending an enormous amount
Of labor and Of money, they are routed
aud oyerihrown in a way which leaves
them nohope of recuperation. These facts
show that their methods of warfare have
been mistaken and useless, or even worse
Now the struggle is to be transferred to
the state Of New York, and we shall see il
wnged here with all the energy of despera-
ton; but our friends on the other side
must permit US TO tell them that the style
OF lighting which they have employed, so
disastrously TO themselves in the Western
States. viii not do here at all
The Republican campaign thus far, and
especially in OHIO and Indiana, has been
composed of two elements; first, personal
abuse and SANDER of Mr., TIDEN; and sec
ondly, the revival of the war with all its
passions and hatreds. These have made up
all the issues OF the campaign on the Repub-
lican side. They are worn out, and some
thing new is indispensable even to make
the contest reasonably interesting.
In his powerful speech AT Utica the other
day senator CoNKLINo denounced in a
manner most honorable to himself the
slanderers of Mr.. TuDEN; but, even while
doing this. the distinguished Senator could
not refrain from soizing the bloody SHIRT
and waving il aloft in the hope of bring
ing the old Republican phalanx once
more forward to attack and overwhclm
the foe.
Let the Republican orators who are
about to appear in this State, find some
new material ana bring forward new
stock OF subjects; and let the Republican
newspapers be required to initiate their
example ana sing with them their new
fumes. What these new subjects ought 10
bo we do not undertake to tell them; but
novelty is Indispensable, or the Republic
cans are lost forever Perhaps they might
prove that there never was such a man n
BELKNAP; that BAnCoCK was never Presi-
dent GRANTS secretary; that there never
was Whskey Ring; that the District
OF Columbia never had q Governor named
SHEPHERD; that there il no such jersey
man as GEORGE NJ. RoBEsON and that he
never WAS Secretary Of the Navy; that
HAMILTON FISH never had q son-in-law
who was counsel for the Spanish Govern
ment and manager of the State Depart
ment at the same time; that there never
was Freedman's Savings Bank and so on.
On SUCH topics us these lively speeches
might be made and able articles written.
