THE PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION.
The House bill for an international exposition at
Philadelphia in 1876 was received.
Mr. SCOTT, uep.) OF Pa, moved to refer it to the
Committee on Foreign Relations.
Mr.. FENToN (repl OF N. Y, thought the Commit
tee on Manufactures more appropriate reference
as the bill looked TO an exposition of manufactures
There were other considerations, particularly as to
the selection OF place OF exhibition, which were
entitled 10 weight He moved TO refer to the COM
mittee on Manufactures.
Mr.. SCOTT replied his only anxiety was that the
bin should have a fair consideration. The exhibit
flon was not limited TO manufactures but would In.
cude the arts and sciences II the reference was to
be dictated by the claims OF different places he sug-
Claims. ~
MIR. CAMERON, (rep) OF Pa, advocating his col.
leagues motion, remarked that Pennsylvania, un-
ike New York, was not continually grabbing at
everything that was offered and trying TO pick up
that wnch was not For years there
had not been an office, no matter how
small, which New YORK had not obtained
when II was possible for her Senators to get IL ior
her. In comm erce the same greed was manifested.
Everything, somehow seemed TO be decided In New
York Interests He went on TO argue that Pnila-
aephia was entitled TO the selection on account Of
her historical pre-emlnence.
MIR. CoNKIING. trep.l OF N Y, said the Senator
taken u supposlng that his colleague (Mr. Fenton)
or himself was jealous OF Philadelphia; on The
contrary they both lelt the greatest PRIDE In that
Mr. CAMERON disclamed having imputed jealousy
TO any one. He thought New YORK had enough to
be proud OF without beng jealous Of any other city.
Mr. CONkLING said he was about saying. when
interrupted, that New York felt proud oi Philadel
phia one of her most nourishing suburbs. Any
lining the New York senators could do contribute
TO the Importance OF Philadelphia, or any other Of
the villages surrounding New York, they would be
very glad TO do 50. As 10 the manner in which the
claims OF certain localities had been arranged, par
ticularly those OF New York and Philadelphia there
were many people who believed the honorable Sena-
tor Mr.. Cameron knew more than he haa stated.
the War Department was under a former
administration the State OF New york was
indebted for many appointments In the Sc
lection OF men who lived in Pennsylvania.
Nothing was known OF their New YORK residence
until they had received their onces. 1t was SAID
these appointments had been distributed so pentl-
fully In Pennsylvania that 1t became necessary to
locate the residence Of the surplus recipients some
York. However he did not wish TO go into that
matter. The Senator tMr. Cameron) might know

senators were upon IT. while the bill went to the
Foreign Relations Committee would be for no rea-
except raat the very distinguished senator from
that STATE Mr. Cameron) was a member OF 1t. The
TINS way, Notwithstanding that city was the largest
In the country the very centre OF all travel on this
Continent, both internal and external.
Mr.. CAMERON thought Mr.. Conkng's remark
about the suburbs OF New York would have been
very tine II it had originated with him; but it was
very common New YORK wlttlclsIn. In which the
Senator's colleague in the House had also INDUCED

but as geographical lact
Mr.. CAMERoN, without noticing the Interruption
said he was disposed TO treat as jest what tine SEN
ator (Mr. COnkilng) had said about the credit OF
Pennsylvania appointments being charged TO New
York account; that senator had Jokeu with himself
from New YORK did not mean to attribute
To himself any Intentional wrong doing. Under his

ments, and he could say, for himself he had inva-
Iiaby selected only those whom he knew TO be loyal

Mr.. SCOTT remarked that by giving the govern
ment sanction the Philade phia celebration OF the
the local celebrations OF New York. Cincinnati, orany
OF the numerous towns OF the country, would be
Philadelphia was perfectly obvious. The suggestion
OF Mr. ConIhng, that Philadeiphia was one OF
favorable Recommendation, because the honest and
intelligent people oil the country who would attend
such an exposition would rather be quartered In
a SUBURB Of New York than to be exposed TO the
vices and annoyances OF the ''seething' metropolis
II the bill was defeated for the reasons urged
AGAINST IT, the next step would probably be the re-
mova OF the old bell the State House and Philadel
pnia herself bodily over to New YORK.

Mr. FenIon resulted in Its adoption thirty five Sena
tors rising in the affirmative and o negative vote
