The State Appropriation TO the
.. Centennial.

The bill making the appropriation of
$3.50 900 to the Centennial, leaving the
balance of the million dollars 10 be col
lected from the street railroad companies
of Philadelphia, is too long for publication,
and we therefore content ourselves with
giving the following synopsis:
The bill appropriates one million dollars
for paymen. building TO be erected in
Fairmount Park: and prescribes the
sources from whence the money shall be
derived, and the times and conditions un-
der which it shall be paid. The revenue is
to be collected by tax of three per cent.
on the gross receipts OF every street pas
senger railway; commencing July instant
and continuing TO the first day of 1877.
And in the event that this tax fails to pro.
duce the whole sum it is stipulated that
the State Trca sury shall not be Liable for
more than one-quarter of the total. The
railway companies are compensated by
stipulation that their fares shall not be re-
duced by legislation SO long as this tax
runs, nor shall any penalties be inflicted
for previous violations of charters. The
building for which the appropriation is
made is to be erected by the Centennial
Commission, who may draw any sum less
than the a: gr rsgate receipts from the tax
the current year, and less than $500. 900
annually the two following years, the re-
sidue being payable July 4, 1876. But be-
fore any portion of the State appropriation
can be demanded, it must be known that
one million dollars have been subscribed
by the citizens of Philadelphia to the
stock of the Commission, and half that
sum appropriated by the city, aud that a
contract has been made for permanent
! iireproof building in Fairmount Park, that
shall cost at least 81 ,500, 900. 1t is further
stipulated that this building shall always
remain open for the exposition of the art,
industry, mechanism, products of the soil
and wines of the State, aud for the enjoy
ment OF the people under such regulations
as may be prescribed by the proper autho-
rities-the Paramount Park Commission
ers, the States Centennial Supervisors and
representatives of the city. The coutribu-
tions ofother States and of foreign countries
are also TO be admitted without unfriendly
| discrimination. The building itself will be
| in charge of the United States Centennial
Supervisors during the Exposition, exclu-
| siyely. Until completed, the control vests
in the Board of State Centennial Supervi-
sors. The function of this body, of whom
Alexander Henry, j. Gillinghsm Fell and
John g. James are the members, is to ex.
anime the plans, approve and certify the
costracts TO the Governor. The Governor
is directed to draw his warrent for S50, ,00C
whenever the expenditure reaches twice
that sum, and for the whole resdae of the
appropriation when the outlay is thus

THE DANvILLE STRIKE.-Thc men of
the Danville mills have been OH a strike
for long time. The Bloomsbury Colum-
bidn states the position as follows Affairs
in Danville are rapidly assuming bad
complexion, and much anxiety is felt in
consequence. The men who are out Of en-
ploymen. seem to he growing reckless, and
acts ofviolence are reported, which, iftrue,
will inevitably turn the current of public
sympathy against them. Two or three
cases of assault are reported. the victims
being men who desire to work. We are in :
formed that the mill of Waterman &
Beaver was set on fire on Sunday morning
last, but fortunately the flames were ex-
tinguished with q loss of about 5000.
Waterman Il Beaver have eudcavored to
effect compromise by offering their strik-
ing puddlers So per ton. This the men re-
fuse, and demand $3.50 per ton. Mr.. Fow-
ler last week was compelled to blow out his
furnaces on account of The opposition OF
his men. This unfortunate state of affairs
is much to be regretted, AS it effects the
the material interests of the town, the ins
terests of the workingmen and the inter-
ests ofthe employers.

NATIONAL FINANCES.

3
We give below extracts from the Philddel-
pltid Press, on the national finances by the
government
We repeat at this iuncture what We have
often declared before, that the business
wants Of the country demand an enlarged
paper circulation. Until the next Congress
meets the business of fixing the legal ten
der issue is in the hands of Secretary Rich.
ardson. If he should follow out strictly
the policy pursued by Mr.. Boutwell, the
country will suffer, perhaps, to disastrous
extent before Congress can relieve it.
DANGER OF A PANIC. ...I.
The dullness of general trade, the difi.
Guilty experienced by even some of our
richest houses in meeting their financial
obligations, and the evident poverty OF our
banks in the matter of reserves, all point
to the fact that something must be done to
save the country from what may yet drift
into money panic-uot mere Third or
Wall street disturbance, but II genuine busi-
ness crisis, which will damage the enter
priscs, check the growth of the country to
an extent that would be ruinous, and assail
every working interest which might be in
progress from Maine to California. #
While there are no indications al present
be soon witnessed, we cannot ignore the
fact that the causes for it exist. A little
further tampering with the gold and money
markets, and a little more straining on the
part of our merchants and the slender
thread of meagre confidence will snap.
The banks have done their utmost, and in
this country no power bat the government
can now check the Vaccinations of Wall
street raiders, seem to be preparing for
fresh demonstration. ......
THE TREASURY AND THE CONSPIRAToRs.
The banks are helpless, but the Treasury
colrains the means to defeat conspiracy
and assist legitimate enterprise, and we
hope for the sake of a ong-suifering people,
that Mr.. Richardson will turn deaf ear
to those who shrek out "inhatioun because
he issues to the nation that medium of
trade which is just now so necessary.
There can be no imitation unless the sum
is beyond our necessities, and certainly the
fourty-four millions now in tie Treasury, if
issued, would barely meet the absolute
wants of our business men. Prompt and
decided action is necessary. If govern
men; cannot or dare not protect its people
against the gigantic conspiracies of awless
spectators, the sooner it is suppanted by
one sufficiently vigorous the better.

THE Philadelphia LedWr has been look
ing up the law as to the sezind of the goods
of tenants for the payment of taxes on real
estate and can find no acts of the Lcgisla-
ture p; and it further asserts that where se-
gal resistance is made, the collectors abau-
don their attempt to make such seizure.
1t further states, however, that where n
collector makes dcmal d for taxes upon
tenant, the tenant can make the payment
and deduct the same from rent due, and
the owBcr can make no resistance to such
deduction. 1t would consequently seem
to be good policy to make the payment
whenever the demand is made to avoid
trouble with the collector.

Lancaster's Prosperity.

Lancaster exhibits gratifying signs
of prosperity. Within a few years
the whole aspect of the town has
changed, and the spirit of improve
ment which heretofore manifested
itself in the erection of many sub.
stantial and graceful business edi-
fees and dwellings,, so far from
evincing any signs of wearying, ap-
pears to receive fresher and more
vigorous impulses every year. The
progressive spirit which seems to
animate the entire community is
neither sporadic in its character,
nor rash in its growth, it appears to
be a general and well digested de-
termination on the part of he COM
munity to make the physical appear
ance Of the town reveal its import
ance as the capitol of one Of the
wealthiest counties in Wisconsin,.
Even casual observer will be inn
pressed by the activity in meroan-
tile quarters, the stir among mechan-
les and laborers, the improved and
modernized aspect of the town, and
the unmistakable evidences of re-
newed vigor displayed in the prepar-
atoms now being made TO occupy
other new and fine buildings. Here
are no signs of prostration-nO stag
mated industries-no senility of ideas
no becalmed town-on the contra.
ry, all the elements that promote
the growth, prosperity and imports
ance of a place, seem to be steadily
at work. The future of Lancaster
looks suspicious, and we have no
doubt but that the enlightened, lib
eral and practical ideas Of the day,
which have taken root 10 the minds
of her citizens, will yet give her
conspicuous place among the cities
of the West
