NEW-YORR AND THE CENTENNIAL.


A delegation of Philadelphans representing
the Centennial Board of Finance visit this
city to-day in order to submit their views
and wishes as to the cooperation of New York
in the great celebration. They are to be re-
ceived at $50 p. m at the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce. The people OF Phila-
delphia have taken hold of the cOmmemOration
with great spirit and liberality, and whatever
they can do to make it worthy of the event
to which it refers we may be sure will be
done generously. They asked no aid from
abroad until they bad contributed freely them
selves.
1t is important, however, that all parts of
the country should join i'll this great celebra-
ton. 1t must not be a merely local affair.
The whole United States should esteem it a
privilege to share in the cost and the honors.
Philadelphia having done her own duty, now
comes to us, and we have greatly misjudged
the liberality and patriotism of New-lork if
the appeal do not meet with hearty response.

TIE POPES ENCYCLICAL.

The Pope has decided advantage over
most Of the sOvereigDs Of Europe in the
prescriptive right which he enjoys of express
ing himself with perfect frankness on affairs
of public interest. The Encyclical Letter
which was addressed month ago to the
dgnitaries in favor and fellowship with the
Apostolic See, is in no respect different from
similar manifestations from Pope Plus TX.
The events of the last few years have brought
a crisis in the affairs Of the Church Of
Rome, which might have led Us ia
expect document OF unusual dignity
and power. Any person who takes up this
Encyclical Letter with such an expectation
will be disappointed. The subject of most
importance to the Church at this moment il
undoubtedly the conflict which has arisen in
Germany. In this document, however. the
Pope gives the greatest prominence to the
abolition of the Roman University, which as
he himself describes it, is merely one of the
woes of the City of Rome. In fact he might
almost be considered ~ establishing near

The investigation of the charges against
Attorney General Williams promises to
bring to light practices i'll nearly if not
quite all the Executive Departments which are
certainly not consistent with "a strict economy,
if indeed they are with honest administration.
The payment of $1,000 for carriage for the
Attoney-G Generals family is but an ordinary
affair. In the Treasury Department some OF
the expenditures are of the most extravagant
character. Our Washington correspondence

There was a convict in the peniteniary at Joliet,
Illinois. q little while ago, who is not there now.
He was ILL., he said and didn't work quite as hard in
the shoeshop as the authorities thought he ought to
work. Accordingly. after much punishment by
solitary confinement, bath prescribed, and
strong men held his head under water in order to
persuade him how good it would be for him TO work
as commanded. This unreasonable convict failed to
be persuaded for having been allowed to take the
air. he gasped for breath twice and died, to
the great disgust of the excellent people provided by
law to make him do his duty. Why he did this
foolish and headstrong thing was because he had
heart disease, for which ailment stranguatOn is not
healthful remedy. 1t is stated that unruly prison.
crs subjected TO this semi-drowning occasionally
remain unconscious for half hour or so, until by
hard labor they restored to life probably much
chastened in spirit. Solitary confinement in a dark
cell is also favOrite mode Of punishment in that
model reformatory for criminals. We may genially
congratulate Mr. Charles Reade upon having been
quite within the limits of truth when he fore
sbadowed an American penitentiary with his
picture of an English torture-house.
