1.-THE demand for papers of sensa-
tional character, said the manager OF
biz news company, "has been on the
increase for good many years. lhere
are now a half dozen boys papers pub
lished weekly in this city that nave
circulation OF over 100000. They are
sold throughout the United States and
Canada. Then we have the half-dime
libraries. Several publishers make
these n speciality ana work on nothing
else. A new number appears either
weekly or semi-weekly. Their circu-
latiop depends altogether on the stories
which they contain. one week some
thing very thrilling oppears, and per-
hans 60 900 of 75,G01 copies are sold;
| the next week u novel of everyday
life appears; no blood is shed, no assas-
iuations take place; and the circula'
ton drops down TO 10000 or l5,OOU
copies. but the greatest calculations
are not attained by papers that are IN

class of sensational literature caters &c
the taste of the working girls OF Am,

What Might Have Been.

We believe that the services Of Gen. Beaure-
gard to the cause of the southern confederacy
have been greatly underestimated in the
south as well as the north. The fame of Lee
and Jackson has to some extent obscurcd the
merits of the first commander of the main
army of the confederacy. No event occurred
during tho war that brought the rebellion so
near to success as the first battle of Bull Run.
The victory won by Beauregards army gave
the confederacy @ standing abroad which it
never could have acquired If the first trial of
arms between the belligerent sections had re-
suited unfavorably to the south. Measured
weighs all the battles that were fought by
Lee.
A history of Beauregard's campaigns, by
Gen. Alfred Roman, one of his staff officers,
has just been published, and it contains some
facts concerning the early military operations
in Virginiai which have not been heretofore
mentioned by any southern writer. 1t seems
that Beauregard, as soon as he discovered
that the union army was going to move out
and give him battle, determined to bring
Johnston from the Shenandoah valley and to
maneuver his whole force so as to draw
Mcdowell as far as possible from his base,
and then swing around between him and
Washington. This plan was discussed by
President Davis and Gems. Lee and Cooper,
but was dismissed as impracticable.
Subsequent events showed what would
have happened if Beauregards strategy had
his forces with Beaurogard three days befor
Mcdowell moved from Washington, and Pat
terson, who was supposed to be watching
Johnston's movements, would probably have
imagined that large rebel force WAS still in
front of him, and would have remained in
the vicinity of CharleBtown. He certainly
would not have followed Johnston by way of
Winchester and strasburg or by any other
route. McDowels army would have been
confronted from the first with largely supe-
rior force and il he had been compelled to
face about and fight an enemy in his rear
there is good reason to think that the cam
paign would have been even more disastrous
to the union cause than it was, and tho
capture of Washington might have been the
result.
In the month of September following the
battle of Bull Run, while the union army
] H. e hainf, al
and reorganizod under Mcclellan, plan was
submitted by Gen, Beauregard which con.
templated tho concentration OF all the con-
federato forces in the east and rapid march
into Maryland, with a view of getting in tho
rear of Washington, Persons who remember
McClollln's peculiar tactics will not be slow
to admit that such a movement might have
been successful in September, 1851. Besure-

A Note or Warning.
RocAfsLer Post. ErnreSs.


Our candid and deliberate opinion is that the
men who may be influential in defeating the can.
didacy of President Arthur will do a very bad
stroke Of business for the republican party, and
that 1t will not be long before they como to real
lie the fact. The same logic which at time OF
political slack water is likely TO lead the majority
of our citizens TO decline tO order a change in the
conduct of national affairs should induce the ma
jority OF republicans to retain the President who
has discharged the duties OF his exacting office 80
acceptably, Tho opposition to Mr.. Arthur we
have tested and sounded thoroughly, and our
conscientious belief is that 1t has been
oveTeSlmated aud oyerstated as egreglously
as deliberately. More than any other
candidate that has been or can be named
he commands the respectRn support of that class
of business men which 1t has ever been the aim OF
the republican party to enlist in its cause. This
support has not proved incompatible with that OF
the practical politicians. His disposition, If 1t is
not of sort TO excite enthusiasm, Is at least OF
he kind that wearies ennity: he is not an easy
man to quarrel with. To US 1t seems a decided
mistake to oppose the candidacy of such man,
and especially TO oppose II with the Vehemence
and yirulence which have characterised the anti
Arthur canvass. While we defer to the wisdom Of
tho majority and the good Of the party at large,
we do not care to SEQ without word of warning
and of protest the republican organization using
its left arm to cut OF It's right.

What the Result VIII be.

Congressman and the district commissioners,
who favor allowing the irreyocable destruction of
Washington's only park by the railroad men, show
wretched taste and worse judgment. Congress
and the district government are joint custodians
OF the interests of the national capital and II ought
to be matter Of pride as well as the panest duty
with them TO promote the execution of the grand,
systematic and beautiful plan upon which the city
was laid out-certalnly not to allow that plan to
be clumsly butchered and destroyed by railroad
corporations for their own selfish purposes. Yet
project to make free gift of the single park of
the city-the noble western outlook from the
capitol front-to two railroad companies, has
been Endorsed by the house district committee
and by the district commissioners! 1t is idle to
talk about saving the park from destruction by
arching or bridging over n portion of the tracks.
| The plain English of it is that the scheme means
nothing less than turning over the whole park
| from Third street to Seventh street for railroad
| uses and the construction of rival twin
| depots on the two sides of Sixth street, in.
stead Of the hoped. for union depot elsewhere.

Messrs. Batemnn and Judge Advocate
General Swain Kiss and Make Up
The Charges IVithdraVn-WEl Secre-
tnry Lincoln Allow Itt
The publication of the charges against
Judge Advocate General Swain by A. H..
Bateman, the banker, created a profound
sensation yesterday. 1t was tho talk of tho
town." and the New York papers commented
on the affair at length. The charge that
Gen. Swain had swindled Bateman & Co. out
of $1,000 was bad enough, but when it was
further alleged that the judge advocate gen.
eral of the army had negotiated fraudulent
pay accounts of army officers knowing them
to be such there was q very general
expression of opinion that all the facts should
be brought out. Messrs. Bateman and Swain
were besieged all the day by friends anxious
to get at the true iuwardness of the affair.
Meantime a dicker was in progress, and
during the afternoon the gentlemen con-
cerned arrived at an understanding which
which resulted in the writing Of the follow
ing letter by Mr.. Bateman to the secretrry OF
war:

Gen. D. G. Swain having been withdrawn, and

said Gen d. q. Swain. lie claiming they were
made under misspprehension OF facts, which
concede.
In an interview Mr.. Bateman explained
that the $1,000 due bill mentioned in his let
ter to the secretary of war had been returned
to his firm, and that the suit against them
based upon it by the parties to whom it had
been transferred had been withdrawn. The
only concern he had in the matter was to pro-
tect the financial interests of his firm, and
that end having been attained he was willing
to call quits.
A reporter for THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
called upon Secretary Lincoln last night tc
ask him concerning the Swain Batemau
| trouble.
~ do not care to say anything about the
case tonight" said Mr.. Lincoln. "Mr
Bateman has written a letter, which will
doubtless be published by you. That is just
| where tho case stands now"
"Are you going to allow the charge to bC
withdrawn" continued the reporter, "in

THE citizens committee evidently do not
think that the police force is now in much
better condition than when the labors of the
committee were first commenced at least
the committee deems it advisable to continue
its organization and to investigate crime in
its own way. The lists of crimes which were
published in The REPUBLICAN yesterday, the
perpetrators ofwhich the police and detectives
have failed to discover, show that something
is radically wrong in the management of the
force. 1t is now in order for the commissions
ers to pay some little attention to placing the
police force on an efficient basis, and to moder.
ate their zeal in aiding railroad companies to
acquire streets and public parks for their
