THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION.
New York, With its more liberal character and
wide variety of entertainments, proposes to carly
the Centennial Exhibition away from Phlladel~
phia. Major MacMnrdie, an energetic gentle-
man, is the superintendent Of the New York Cen
tennial Worlds Fair, and & lot OF ground has
been purchased for 81 800 900, and the plans ap-
proved for the elevations It viii be- covered by
the greatest dome in the world, both as to height
American Centennial will be in the most repra,
sentative city of the country, where men arc not
turned out OF social organizations for opposing
thieves for Office; nor manufactures, ana even
and made mere monument Of alnnsgiving and
public mendicancy.
TIE CONSOLIDATED CITY.
The vote registered in Philadelphia Was
population by the Gen59s Mat q Tor i9'4, !:
144,0o0; population BY the census OF 1870,
pAyEEPcRr.
The New York Federal Commissioner, DaTen-
port, is the author Of that portion Of the Ku-kln1
set down it's functions to suit himself, and was
appointed under it, at Ben. Buffers solicitation.
His court is an expensive room on the first floor
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, ladies' entrance,
Davenport is q little irnpudent fellow, de.1gned
BY nature to be pardoned by Hartranur in order
to 80 at large. He is one Of the numerous
moral progeny of General Butler, and will serve
the next generation in their anxiety to know
what kind Of an object General Butler was-
STOPPING NEWSPAPER.
John ~ Forney WAS in the city two days ago,
and called upon the President. The second
Ulysses is better described where he figures in
"Trolus and Cressida," than in Homer. In the
third act of that play, he speaks as follows,
probably to some Judge Dent or Casey OF the
period:
The Providence that's In watehful state,
Knows almost every grain Of Plntus' gold;
Finds bottom in ths nncomprehenaive decps;
Durst ner<T neddle.
His fame the areskish girls shall tripping stng:
"Great Hectors sister did Achilles wn!"
The President seemed taken aback by Forneys
coming, but he was nffab!e as cream-puff: He
said he was perfectly easy in his mind, and inti-
mated that he would be elected, as if only he
Lad shouted aye. and Echo dropped the ballot.
Forney's paper hss now the largest circulation
it ever attained, and proportlonate business.
1t is the leading journal OF Philadelphia, and the
Colonel eaye that be has received st least ten
subscribers to one donkey demurring. The old
Democracy which read the Press in 1857 are
back in force, while the small sums received by
papers Like the Euening Telegraph to sell out to
tempts to purchase self-Tespect- They took
away the Sheriff's printing from Forney, worth
$4,000 to buy rope enough for the officers Of the
City Government and their friends OF the
Fourth Ward,-:who wi]lmake, one Of these days,
the most conspicuous uewe-item Of the period:
all suspended in row, with the numerous par
dons OF Hartranuff pinned On their breasts to
identify them.
8coTT AND SCOT.
John Scott had to get Simon Gameron'8 In.
dorsement in order to obtain even Postmaster
ehip at Huntington, his residence.
Hartranuff's 'patronage" consists Of making
the Attorney General the Secretary OF the Com
monwealth, and lot Of Inspectors Of Oil, Pota-
burgh and Phiadeiphia.
Cameron will not recommend anybody but
himself for Cabinet Office; and all talk about
Armetrong, OF Williamsport. or John Packer,
wants the Dawes resolution, first Of al, taken
from the House journal. The most expeditions
way to do this would be burglary OF the books.
John Packer, who married a niece Of Cameron,
lives at Sunbury and ia so high-minded that he
cannot be controlled by Cameron; hence, though
Forney suggested that be be nominated for Gov
ernor, Cameron opposed it, and preferred Hart
ranuR. GATH.
