Advertising In "Thc Republican,"
TO he Editor

My advertisement for clerk in your
"want" column has brought me nearly forty
responses. All are meritorious in chirog-
raphy, composition, &C.; many give unex-
ceptionable references. and from such, at least,
n clerk could be taken Mt random. Past ex-
pericnce in advertising for ordinary clerical
help has demonstrated to me the superiority
of THE DAILY REPUBLICAN rs vehicle to
reach those interested. 1t always brings an
avalanche of applications, puzzling me to the
fullest which one of the many worthy ones
to accept. Though l advertised for young
man, yet one of the responses came from a
lady, writing beautiful hand and displaying
throughout her communication thorough
clerical accomplishment. 1t is really mat
ter of regret that cannot accept the services
of one so well qualified, apparently, for my
simple work. Such is my present advertising

certainly satisfactory and in keeping with

A BRUTAL HUSBAND.
A Sad Instance OF the UnhNppiness OF Mar
ricd Life.


The unhappiness of married life was sadly
excmplifcd in the police court yesterday.
William p Colley, a clerk residing at No. 734
Eleventh street northwest, was arraigned ON
charge of threats of personal violence
against his wife, Claudia Collcy. Mrs. Colley
took the stand and testified that her husband
had i'll treated her for some time. He was
very cruel when he was intoxicated, and on
Thursday night threatened to throw her out
of the window.
The prisoner made no defense and the court
ordered that he should give bonds in 5000 to
keep the peace for six months, and in default
to 20 to Jail for that space of time. He was
committed Mrs. Colcy was very much af-
fected and burst into storm of sobs and had
TO be assisted from the court room. The par
ties arc very highly connected. Mrs. Colley
is very cultured woman. She is the daugh-
ter of Gen. Dixon, who was killed by DIR.
and sister of Henry Dixon, who was
murdered by Barksdale in Mississippi three
years ago. COlley is the son of Mrs NJ. j. Coley,
of 1.-The Lexington" and has been consid-
cred pretty dissipatCd man for years. There
was great objection made when the parties
were married by the wife's family, but it
availed nothing Colley's brother married u
granddaughter of Robert Toombs, and she
was dsinherited in consequence, but was
forgiven by the unreCOustruCted Georgian at
the funeral of a relative some weeks ago. 1t
is probable that Coley's family will furnish
the bonds, and have him released from con-
finement.

SUIT AGAINST THE DISTRICT.

William II, Lee by his attorney II. T..
Davis, yesterday entered suit against the
District of Columbia for $1,000 damages. The
declaration recites that on July /, 1881, the
plaintiff rented the defendant the school
house on street, between Second and Third
streets northwest, for one year, at quarterly
rent of $780, aud in the lease it was agreed
that the defendant should deliver the prem
iscs at the end of the said term in the same
condition rs when originally received. The
defendant made extensive repairs and altera-
tiOns. but has refused to restore and replace
such alterations on the premises, as per agree
mcnt, to the damage of the plaintiff. He
therefore claims $1,000 and costs.
