The DAILY PRESS la alaa the •fflclal Paper af the City af Aafiiiiat hat-la* been elected by the City Cedacil ae their Official Organ. The Postoffice Award. The recent award of the Postmaster of Augusta, for the publication of the list of letters remaining iu the Postoffice of Augusta, was not in our favor. But the returns showed that the Chronicle and Sentinel had the largest circulation, based upon a bona tide subscription list, of any paper published in this city, according to our reading. We think that the Chronicle and Sentinel was en titled, under the laws, to the a war!. The Postmaster, however, has decided, subject to appeal, that the publication should be given to that paper which has the largest circulation, without refer ence to the character of that circula tion—whether it be gratuitous or based upon subscription. In Savannah, the award was made to the paper having the largest circulation based npon sub scription, and wo think the Department -would decide that the award in Augusta should be made on the same grounds Be that as Tt may, we offer the Chronicle as an advertising medium to the public, as having the largest circulation, based upou bona fide subscription of any paper published in the City of Augusta. —Chronicle and Sentinel. In the distribution of the PostoCce patronage, it is of no importance whether a newspaper has a bona fide subscrip tion list, or only a gratuitous circulation. The only question is, which has the largest circulation within the immediate Postoflice district. It will n<fl do for the proprietor of a paper to circulate a large number of copies of his paper gratuitously, just on the eveof making application for the Postoflice printing. That would be egregiouslv wrong; but if a gratuitous list is kept up constantly, then that is a bona fide circulation. As, for instance, a paper might have a cir Culation of 1,000 paying subscribers and 1,000 beneficiaries, all served alike and regularly with the regular issues of the paper. The bona fide circulation of that paper is, of course, 2,000 sub scribers ; and it cannot be distorted to signify anything else. The Chronicle and Sentinel and the Constitutionalist put in bids for the publication of the list of letters, as well as the Daily Press. The circulation of each was given in under oath ; and this paper, having the largest circula tion, the Postmaster was compelled to make the award to us. This he did ; and the protest of our neighbor will not avail him anything; for the question has been already decided by the Post office Department in our favor, as will be seen by the following letter irom Alex W. ltaudall, First Assistant Post master General, to the Postmaster, Foster Blodgett, Esq., on the subject. AVe had written to him, in April last, Kiid this is his decision : I’oet Office Department, j Appointment Office, > Washington. April 20th, 1806. j Sir : I herewith transmit a letter from E. 11. Pughe claiming the ndver t sement of uncalled-for Letters at your office, on the ground that his paper, the Daily Press has the largest circulation within the bounds of the delivery of jour office. If you awarded the advertisement on the first Monday of January, as required by the regulation, that will stand tor the year. If you did not, then you will give the parties desiring to compete an op portunity of presenting their evidence of circulation, and atoard the advertisement to the paper hating the largest circula tion. I inclose a slip containing the regulation of the department on this subject, by which you will be governed. 1 am, reapecttnlly, etc., ALEX. W. RANDALL, First Ass’t. P. M. Gen. Foster Blodgett, Esq., P. M., Augusta, Ga. By this it will be seen that “the paper having the largest circulation” is enti tled to the publication of the Letter List. The Daily Phess has the largest circulation in the City of Angosta—an evidence of which, is the tact that the publication of the List of Letters has been awarded to us, by our worthy Post master, aud his decision will necessa rily be sustained by the Postoflice De partment. This gives our paper an advantage over others, which adver tisers would do well to avail themselvi a of. The efforts used to crush out this journal must fail. It is the People's Organ, and the people will sustaiu it. Flag Ik Cmaklkstox.—Tbe Charles ton papers give an account ot a fire which broke out cn Tuesday evening, in Mrs. S. J. Crockett’s millinery store, over the store of J. R. Read A Cos. The acock of Mrs. Crockett was valued at SIO,OOO, and was a total loss, and was lully iusured iu tbe agencies ot Tupptr &, Lane and A. U Hayden. Road A Cos. lust nearly their whole stock valued at $45,000, and insured for $55,000, with Hcriot A Cos., and Colburn A Howell. Quirnby A Cos., photograph ers, in the third story, suffered to the extent of $2,000, which was also insured with Colbprn A Howell. The fire is said to have originated in a clo#et in the millinery store, in the same place where a similar fire had been discovered a few mouths ago. GEO&eiA ITEMS. The town council of Athooa have fixed the price of liquor licensee at $230 for retail; SIOO fur quart; SSO for gallon ; and S2O for barrel. The following town commissioner* were elected iu Dshlonega on the sth : W. R. Criston, 0. F. Parker, W. P. rice, T. H. Kilgo, end J. P. Harrison* The Middle Georgia Noes’ man rays he lost his head, while moving, a short time ago. As it was only a head of Rice, we soppoee the community will stand the bereavement. The Athens Watchman says snow fell, seven inches deep twenty-two miles north of that place, Inst Sunday. The Thomasville Enterprise is now issued semi-weekly. The Georgia Citiien has been con siderably reduced in size, and will, alter the Ist of March, be reduced in price to six dollars. ’Jhe Hon. Joshua Ilill, of Georgia, has presented to Congress a ciairn of several thousand dollars for losses and depredations which he suffered during the war from the Union army. A colored lawyer by the name of Bradley, who has been iustilling mis chief and discontent into the minds of the freedmen of Georgia and South Carolina during the last year, applied for admission to the bar iu Saraunah a few day ago. Judge Fleming decided that there was no law iu Georgia au thorizing the admission of colored men to the bar, and his application was, therefore, refused. A benevolent society, embracing all the religious denominations of Atlanta, has invited Hon. Horace Greeley and Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, of New York, and Hon. C. L. Yallsndigliam, of Ohio, each to deliver a lecture before the society. The Americas Republican tells of a negro who was taken into the store of Forshein A Nasbaum, made drunk, and ‘•done - ’ out of S6O, for which he found himself, when he got sober, in posses sion of a lot ot worthless trash. They were arrested and bound over for trial. The Dahlonega SHjnal gays that a number of wagon loads of machinery have just arrived tor Dexter's Mining Company. The Savannah Adrertiser says the mail communication from Saraunah to Florida by the Florida boats has been discontinued by order of the Postmaster General. There is, therefore, no mail communication with Darien,Brunswick, or St. Mary's. Mails for Jacksonville are sent by railroad, and mails for points ou the St. John’s river are put in the Jacksonville bag, but it is uncertain whether they are forwarded. Special Notices.
