The Grand Exposition.

ut is humiliating to stand in the
American section and hear the dis
puraging remarks Of visitors upon it's
present condition. writes the able
correspondent of the Boston Journal
II coull hardly be expected that
America would make tho ica show at
tho great Exposition, Int We have had
right to expect that the American
department would present at least q
respectable appearance. But according
to the above statement, rs well rs those
of other correspondents, it docs not, at
present. And this is owing, in a great
measure, to the incapac ty of our
Commissioner, who has the entire
management Of the American depart
ment. His disposition Of articles is
shockingly bad. He seems to lack
good common sense, which is very cs-
sential to 4 person occupying such a
responsible position. Some Of the
most important articles which America
has sent to the exhibition are placed
where but a small portion of the Wis
itors will be likely to see them. Did
they have a good postion-and it is
to be hoped they will yet have-they
would attract the attention which is
due to them. This incapacity, on
something worse, of our Commission
er very naturally excites the indigna-
ton of the American exhibitors. They
have held several meetings, and OK
pressed their dissatisfaction at his
proceedings. Whether these meet
ings will have a tendency to cause Mr..
Beckwith to change his programme
remains to be seen. He certainly
ought not to go contrary to their
wishes, and he will not if he is pos
scssed of moderate share of brains.
Let us hope that before the exhibition
has progressed much further, things
will be put to rights" in the American
section; and that some of the grand
prizes will be won by our exhibitors.
The exhorbitant charges which the
Parisians are making will undoubted-
ly deter many Americans from visiting
Paris this summer The American
people have been accused of loving
money to too great an extent; but
with all their money love, they would
never practice the gouging system, as
is now being done by those who have
charge of the Paris Exhibition. They
are determined to make as much Out
of it as they can, discarding almost
entirely the purpose for which the ex
hbition is held--to promote science
and art and industry. We do no
think that the exhibition can be called
success, thus far, in the best mean
ing of that word

that the latter believed the moment

Holy Father. A Provisional Govern
