THE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION

The United States Centennial Com
mission will meet to-day in Parlor C.
Continental Hotel, ard as there is n
great deal OF work before it the session
will probably continue for week.
There is a very full representation pre-
sent in the city, many of the commits
sioners having arrived yesterday and
last night. The president of the COM
mission, Hon. Joseph K. Hawley. is ex-
pected to-day, as is also Richard {. Nc
Cormick, Arizona, of the committee on
opening services. James l.. Orr, of
South Carolina, member of the same
committee, yesterday telegraphed that
the serions illness Of his daughter will
prevent his attendance.
Among the arrivals yesterday We're

horn, Ohio William Nj. Byrd, Ala
bama; and John Dunbar Creigh, Cali
tornia, vice presidents. OF the Execu-
tive Committee, Daniel }. Morrell,
PENNSYLVANIA, and Walter w. Wood,

missioBers also arrived during yesterday
AM last night, and registered at the

lngton Territory.
The Executive Committee and the
Committee on Plans and Architecture
held meetings yesterday afternoon at
the rooms of the commission, No. 9O4
Walnut Street. Under the supervision
of Executive Commissioner Blake the
last touches are being put to the front
first floor room, which will, as soon as
in order, be used for the transaction OF
the generel business Of the commission.
A brief resume of the career of the
Centennial Commission will, perhaps,
be found at this time especially lntereS-
ting. The commission was created by
an act of Congress, approved March 3,
/ 1871, the second section OF the act pro
yiding that commission to consist OF
not more than one delegate from each
State, and from each Territory of the
/ United States, whose functions shall
/ continue until the close of the exhibition,
! shall be constituted, whose duty it shall
be to prepare and superintend the e4-
ecution of a plan for holding the exhlbl-
! ton; and, after conference with the au-
/ ,horities of the city of Philadelphia, to
fix upon suitable site within the corpo-
| rate limits of the said city, where the
exhibitions shall be held.
Under these provisions the President
/ of the United States appointed, on the
! nomination of the Governors OF the
| States and Territories respectively, one
commissioner and one alternate from
each State and Territory, There was
an informal meeting Of the commission,
held in Parlor G, Continental Hotel, on
the 18th of March, 1872, twenty-nine
commissioners and alternatcs present.
On the 9th of March, same year, the
official list of the commission was read,
containing in all eighty-three names;
the present officers were on the same
day chosen. From that date until the
present time meetings have from time
10 time been hcld.-Phjin. Enquirtr.

WooDuULL AND CLAFI IN.-StrenuouS
efforts have been made to get Victoria
Woodhull and Tennie G. Clatlln out of
Ludlow-street jail, but so far without
success. 1t will take S25, 900 to $50, 900
to bail the women. Besides the suit on
which they are arrested, there are seen
or eight other suits already to be served
if these parties get bail in the present
case. There are libel suits; suits for
blackmail; suits in the State courts, as
we'll as in the United States Court, and
the result of bail, if it could be obtained,
would not free the women from durancc
vile. While Mr.. Beechers friends have
nothing to do with the arrest o. Mrs.
Woodruff and her sister, there are out
side parties who are determined to have
this matter probed to the bottom. Over
thirty gentlemen have received letters
demanding money on the threat of attact
in public prints Some have paid mon
cy to avoid an unwecome publicity.
Others have said 800 ahead, while
one gentleman, who was visited in his
office by a woman, arose from his seat,
took her by the collar, led her to the
head of the stairs, and told her if she
ever darkened his doors again he would
fling her down the stairs, if he broke
every bone in her body. Chalis is de
termined to carry this matter through
the courts, both on the civil and crlml-
nal side of The bench.

Strange CoIncfdence..

Virginia, to whom the St. Louis
Republican refers as lady correspon-
dent, writing to that paper, mentions the
fact that the burning of Chicago and the
Michigan fires occurred on the sixth an
niversary of the burning of the Shenan-
doah Valley by sheridan with troops
mostly composed of Michigan and Illinois
regiments. The Boston fire began on
the 10th of November. On the 10th of
November GenI Sherman issued his
order to burn Rome and Atlanta. Bos-
ton and Chicago were the only Northern
cities in which illuminatious were gotten
up in honor of the burning of Columbia,
S. c., by Sherman.

DEArsE or HORACE GREELEY.

No event Of the kind could have pro-
duced a more profound sensation, nor
caused deeper regret than the death of
the ilIustrious journalist. His profession,
which by its opportunities for addressing,
and impressing ideas on the public mind,
has become the leading and most impor-
tant Of all others-had given him a
prominence attained by but few men of
his generation. He died Unexpectedly,
and in the zenith of his great powers.
The largest portion of his Iabors were
devoted to the emancipation of African
slavery twas the idol Of his heart ;
and he lived long enough to feel that the
thing he most loved and had reared with
the tenderest feeling, had become the
instrument of his severest punishment.
In his dying moments he saw his own
feather on the fatal dart-and realized
that he himself had
Winged the shaft that quivered in his
heart,
Keen were his pangs, but keener far to feel,
He nursed the pinion which impelled the
steel"
By none was he opposed in his aspira-
tons for the Presidency with such intense
vehemence as the race for whose freedom
he had toiled And his remorse was in
tensifed by the thought that the very
people whom he had most wronged, gave
him his warmest support and would be
the chief mourners at his grave. In their
magnanimity, they remembered only his
advocacy Of their claims to equal rights
under the government in his latter years,
and forgot the animosities of the past.
That he was rebuked by the generosity
Of those whom he had formerly wronged,
and stung to the quick by the ingratitude
of those whom he had (conscientiously
no doubt endeavored to serve, and of
the party which be more than any other
man had built UPS unquestionable.
Was this retrbution We dare not say.
God moves in a mysterious way his won
Icrs to perform.

MONTGOMERY, Nov. 30.-This morning a
detachment of the 9Th cavalry biTouacked
here on the capitol grounds. Intense excite
ment prevailed, but on its being learned
that the troops were intended for mere
posse comitatus the excitement subsidized.
The Legislature at the capitol passed bill
and sent it to Governor Lewis, but he re-
fused to receive il.
= joint resolution was passed appointing
a committee to communicate the facts by
telegraph to the governmental Washington
and appointing delegate to present the
case to the President. The Legislature ex-
press great confidence that the President
will sustain them.
In ans yer to the communication of the
capitol Legislature yesterday Governor
Lewis replied that the two bodies claim his
recognition; that the mem bers OF the other
received majority OF the votes cast, and
that he could not recognize the capitol Leg
islature, because, if the persons whom he
said did not receive majority were exclud-
ed, the body would be without quorum

One Rev. C. Bays having made a
scandalous report to Superintendent
Pease. concerning the condition of the
Public Schools of Winston county, the
Presiding Elder, Rev. A c. Allen, APP
pointed committee of three preachers
to investigate the matter, and see if suf-
fcient ground could be found upon
which to base a Cargo of falsehood
against the said Bays. We learn from
the Banner, that the committee
have made the investigation and
report that Bays report misrepre-
sented matters and was at variance
with facts. In other words that he lied,
but not wilfully, inasmueh as he himself
had been deceived by false statements
which he did not take the trouble to ex-

AND THE FIDELITY OF A DOG.

From the Winston Banner
We are reliably Informed. that one night
last week, while Mr.. Jim Finkley, who
lives about fifteen miles from this place, n
the eastern portion of the county. was alb
sent from home, his residence was forcibly
entered by an unknown black devil.
IL seems that about u or l o'clock Mrs.
phFies, q lady 20 years of age, were sud-
denly aroused from sleep by the fierce bark
ing of the yard dog. Being terribly fright
ened by the noise made by the dog and the
person in the yard, they sprang from bed
and secured the door as best they could
The demon keeping the dog of made his
way to the door, but finding that il was fas-
tened, he secured some instrument and
bursted it open, when the ladies discovered
the person was buck negro. They order
ed him 70 leave the house, which he refused
to do, and went so far as TO strike Mrs. 4.
knocking her senseless. He had hardly
committed this outrage, when Mrs III. seiZ-
ing a stick OF wood dealt him a severe blow
on the back of the head which caused him
Co measure his full length on the floor, the
faithful dog all the while keeping q terri
bic fire in the enemy's rear. Recovering
from the blow the negro rose and striking
Mrs. 81. in the face felled her to the floor
The demon finding this warmer place than
he had probably anticipated, he Turned and
fed, pursued by the dog.
We are informed that the scoundrel is still
at larQe-nO effort having been made 70
bring him to justice.

Once upon time there was none SO

CLARION found him useful adjunct in
the business of arraigniug Carpet Bag

was censured by the Attorney General
for not impeaching the School Superin-

Judge Watts on that subject will scarcely
be forgotten. But now we have another
illustration of the old fable about circum-
stances altering cases. The accuser of

his Subsidy tergiversation, is mute

a Lesson for Leading Radicals,
Spring Valley is a Radical white settle
in Choctaw county. a place where no
distinction is made ION account of race,
color or previous condition., as will be
seen by the following description by the
Pilot of the highly social entertainment
given by one Holland presumed to be
white, to A, X. Davis (known to be yell
low,) Grant Elector, when canvassing
that county:
The Republican candidate for Eiector,
Hon, y. X. Davis, visited the place during
the canvass Mr.. Holland was ready for and
received him into his family, as he we'll
might, the same would have welcomed
man with white skin. In fact Mr.. Davis
WIS as well treated as he could desire, and
lett greatly strengthened and encouraged in
his work. Spring Valley needs railroads
only 10 bring il out and make it one of the
richest portion of the State. Naturally and
socially it is now pre-eminent.
Having entertained the man and bro
Their like "a white man." Spring Valley
IS classed by the Pilot-good Radical au-
thoIity-as socially above all other places.
If the Radicals high in authority
who reside here desire to pluck the $50
cial' laurels from the brow of the Hol-
land settlement, they must profit by this
lesson which the Pilot teaches them
They must entertain the colored man and
brother, and go farther and give the col
ored woman and sister place at their
tiresides and at their tables.
Last winter when the Legislature was
III ses on, the Leader, while it lived, and
the Pilot, were filled with repeated and
glowing descriptions of many elegant le-
wees, parties, and social gatherings where
Mrs. Gen. So-and-So, Miss Greatbeauty, |
Miss All-love, Col. Lobbyist, Hon. Pass |
bills, Hon. Warrant-Dealer, and many |
other white lights figured, but not once
did il appear that Hon. j. Cesar p.
Squash and Lady or Miss Dinah Publ
can were present. These things must
stop; let there be no distinction against
those of color, but let all be received as
they would have welcomed man with
a winter skin" And then jackson
Radical society, and not Spring Valley,
will be socially pre-eminent Who of
the various aspirants Tor high positions in
the State, at the hands of the Radical
party, viii make the first advance? We
will sec, and we promise that THE Ola
Ron will give a full, free and fair des-
cription of the entertainment if our Re-
porter is notified when it takes place.

Mr.. A. NJ. Slayton, Democrat, was
elected to the Legislature from Hancock
and Pearl counties. The Hands, 1ro'
Democrat learns that is the intention of
Eugene Cowan (his colored opponen,
whom Col. Claiborne Landed so extrava-
gantly,) to contest his seat. 1t seems to
be rule of the RAIDS to give the minori-
ty candidate the seat, in the Legislature,
and Eugene does not think that because
he is darky his case ought to be an ex-
ception.

Somebody is distressing himself about
the mythical jackson clique, and our
able cotemporary, the Columbus Index,
deigns to notice the stupid and thread
bare slang. For ourselves, we only know
the '.Cliqne" through the utterances of
malignants and soreheads We don't
know who compose it; nor what its pro-
gramme is for the next State canvass.
IF it exist at all, We do not know who are
its preferences for the nominations-nor
whether it has any. As for The CLAIR
on, its highest ambition is to reclaim the
State from the rule of the wicked and We
are for the policy. and the ticket which
win accomplish that end.
