| answer, seetl. We have not fairly repre- ented
our country, aud We could not do It. We have
not done il rs we'll as we might. Even con-
sdering the three thousand miles OF Distance
we have not done ourselves the justice that We
ought. We have not even eQualled the expec-
tations that had been formed Of us. And yet
we shall appear DsH. Our contributions are
national, characteristic and unique. They are
abundant enough to give some idea Of our
resources, Ingenious enough to show our skill,
and superior enough in quality to prove our
capabilities. We have better machine--any
mechanic being the judge--than stands with
in the building. We have clearer concep-
ton of tho graceful in vehicles than every other
nation here. We are grately beyond even
England in agricultural implements. We can
lay one sample Of our cutlery by the side Of
Sheffield's thousand specimens and carry oil the
palm. France has not sent bushel Of wheat ;
the Indies have not furnished barrel of rice;
London has not displayed paper hanging, or
chemicals, or specimens OF b0okbindery, or dem
lists work, or hats, or needle work, or harness,
that will compare with those we display upon
our counters. Our pianos will be unsurpassed
We have SCOTS OF barrels of -four altogether
uoeqnalled. y hive carpenters tools in
abundant variety far before other nations.
And in the products Of our soil, in Indian corn,
and cotton and tobacco, and all the finest grains,
we stand where we ought. Though we might
have done far more at this exposition of the
worlds industry than we have done though we
ought to have surpassed in many things where
We have fallen short and in all thugs where
We have only equaled, we have, nevertheless,
done well and thus the event will prove"

EXAMINATION or THE CUBAN INVADERS AT
NEw YoRK.--Judge Belts, Of the United States
distxict court. charged the grand jury of New
York on Saturday, in the case of those men who
were arrested short time since, on suspicion of
being concerned in an expedition against Cuba.
We find the following synopsis in the Journal
Of Commerce:
sAfter referring in detail to the different
sections of tie act Of Congress of April 20th.
1878, and particularly to the 9th section of said
act which prohibits the beginning, setting on
foot, providing or preparing the means for any
military expedition or enterprise to be carried
on against the territory of any colony, district,
&C., with whom the United States are at peace,
he spoke also Of the difficulty of obtaining
legal proof in such cases, AM alluded to the
trial Of the leaders of the former Cuban expedl-
ton in New Orleans, where, although the fact
was notorious that such nm enterprise had been
attempted, no convictions were had Any per-
con had the right, as an individual to go to a
foreign power and tender his services there,
and must bear the consequences which such an
act might entail, bat he had no right here, under
the oct, 10 begin, set on foot and provide the
means, &c, for such an expedition. We should
feel ourselves much aggrieved, were Cuba a
powerful nation, to attempt thus to interfere
with our own internal policy, or even England,
on the ground that we were oppressed, to at
tempt by an armed force, to renstate any parti-
culsr party TO what they might consider their
righta His honor stated that he would not
commit hmself on the construction Of the act
in question, but would hold his opinion in re-
serve TO be determined hereafter as cases might
arise"
