THE editors of the old Star had
some trouble getting started.
Listen to this, printed on the editorial

Some evil-disposed person employed
himself on Saturday night in tearing
down the handbills announcing the
change which has just taken place
in the publication of The Evening
Star We will thank any friend
knowing the perpetrator Of this mean
act, or its instigators, to inform us
who these persons may be SO that
we may show them up in their proper
light"
The leading editorial told of trou-
BILE in getting out the paper Here
1t is: Just as we are going to press
we learn that the package containing
the new brass rules, heading, etc, for
The Star, which was deposited in
Adams Express office, Baltimore, last
evening, was sent to Richmond by
mistake. Paper purchased in Balti-
more on Friday, and sent to the rail-
road depot early on Saturday morn

curing ONLY four days to come

days of stage coaches. WONDROUS
EXPEDITION. Tomorrow our paper
will present a much neater typo
graphical appearance than it does to-
day. Mr.. r. A Waters will accept
our thanks for the loan of rules by

fore our readers today"

without distinction of party. They
are particularly indebted to the con-
ductors of the Intelligencer, Union
and News for their kind greetings,
and they hope to be able so to con-
duct The Star as that 1t may realize
all the generous predictions with
which they have peen weIcomeo IN
the ranks of the journalists of Wash
