The Kxposition.

LOUISVILLE, September 3.-The open
ing of the second exhibition of the

city. The streets of the city during the
day we're crowded with strangers in an
ticipation of the opening From pres
ent appearances the Exposition bids
fair to exceed that Of last year in every
respect.

From the Macon Telegraph
For genuine example of misery
commend us to bachelor. He is apig
without a trough; horse without bri-
die; a wagon without tongue; he is
everything which lacks something to
complete it. A man doesn't work well
In lite's harness until he has bridal OF
his own. A man who has had no hon
eymoon is honeycomb which the bees
have net begun TO NIL with sweetness,
He is an empty vinegar barrel. He
knows no more Of the pleasures of life
than a babe that never sucked in any
but the English language knows OF He
brew. BAIL Talk about old bachelors,
ali that they are fit for is to be set up as
a warning to young men, to show them
how much better it is to be married and
happy than unmarried and wretched.
There is no more philosophy in being a
bachelor than there is in the curl OF a
pigs tail.

ONCE Holders Daring the Govern.
ment to Gust Them.
From the New York Sun, Aug. 16.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, the Chief Clerk of the
Appointment Bureau in the Treasury De-
psrtment, who was sent here by Secretary
Richardson to confer with the Collector of
the Port about the removal of Custom
kouse officials, returned TO Washington Cd
THURSDAY night. A list of the officials re-
commended for removal was forwarded to
the Department on the same evening. II
contained the names of several day Inspec-
tors, and also that OF Chief Clerk in one
the divisions in the Customhouse. The list
which the Secretary CT the Treasury sent to
Assistant Secretary Sawyer embra ed the
names of ffty-one day Inspectors and ten
other Government officials, some entry aud
liouidating clerks, and others, glass exam
iners In the United States Appraisers office.
The Secretary requested bis assistant to CO
operate with Collector Arthur in investi-
eating the charges against them, and to re-
port TO him as soon as possible. The con-
ference in the Collectors private Ofica on
Thursday morning was held to determine
whether the investigation should proceed in
view of the exposure which had been made.
A few names of the chief offenders were
uicke,. out for rsmoVal, after which it was
Thought best to drop the investiga ion for
the present, as it was feared that too many
of the details might leak out If it were TO be
continued. -
The charges which have been preferred
AGAINST the officials by Special Agent Jayne
arise exclusively out of the case Of Platt,
Boyd & TO. That firm is alleged to have
paid the inspectors money for Withholding
their goods on the steamship whaIf instead
of sending them to the general order store.
tits also charged with brlbiDg the entry and
Iiouidstipg clerks TO make false entries and
foundations on their invoices, and with
hiring the examiners to make wrong ap-
n-sisements This system of corruption is
said TO have been practiced three or four
years.
II was sscert4iDed that the Government
officials and the politicians were making al
most superhuman efforts TO get Secretary
Richardson to rescind his orders. The pre-
ysiling impression was that they would sup
press an investigation, or make the charges
look less serious than they really are. One
inspector said that it would all blow over
before Monday. He def1ed the government
To make the removals. He admitted that it
was common 'actice fr the inspectors to
accept bribes. They all do it. No matter
what the charges were they could not be
dismissed on them without running the Re-
publican party, as their discharge would be
the creluda to a general exposure Of official
corruption In Federal departments. The
effect would be terrible.

The Cause Of the Chicago Slaughter
4 Fatal Chronometer,


CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-At the Coroner's in
vestigst:on in the recent collision, j. Buff
fDgberger, engineer of the coal train, testi-
fed that he looked at bis watch upon ar
irving at Lemont and found that he had
plenty Of time to run to Willow Springs, 80
minutes d over. 1t was exactly 8 O'Clock
when he left Lemont. He told Conductor
Bean he was going on to the Springs to take
water, and the latter answered, SAN right;
60 ahead" The collision occurred at OPS
P. NJ. He then compared bis watch with
some men on the passenger train and found
it to have been slow. Could not account
for the condition of the watch. Would not
have left Lemont if he had the correct time,
even though the conductor gave him orders.
Didn't consider Beau fit to run any train.
Witness detailed some conversation be had
with Bean after the accident, from which it
appeared Bean was ignorant of the time at
which the collision took place, and of the
circumstances attending the accident.
Bean Is not yet arrested. The police are
on bis track. The general feeling through
out the city is that an example should be
