THE CENTENNIAL.

1t is now very conclusively settled
that the celebration of the hundredth an
niverssry of the American Republic
shall take place in Philadelphia in 1876.
From present indications, as an exhibit
ton, it promises to be a success. Hon,
JoHN w. FoRNEY reports that consid-
cradle interest is manifested on the sub
iect in Europe, while in the United
States the various State Commissioners
are working cncrgetically and hopefully.
In our own State, Hon. ALEXANDER K.
BoTELER Commissioner for West Nir-
cinia, has been enabled, since the clcc-
ton. To give his undivided time to the
subject, and is, undoubtedly, doing salts
factory work. But ofwhat nature is this
Centennial to be? A celebration of the
American Republic as it existed in tn"
first days of National independence, or rs
it has existed for some years past? This is
the natural question to be asked. At
first blush. it appears very meet and
proper that Philadelphia, the city in
which Independence WAS proclaimed,
should be the point selected for this cell
cbration. But on the other hand, Phils-
delphia, albeit bearing the name Of
"brotherlv love-" has not shown much
brothcrly love since the close of our I'M
happy contest. No more Radical COM
munity has existed in the United States
than has been there found. She has
rolled up tremendous msjorities in favor
Of sectional hate, md has declared, most
decidedly, against the principles which
were advocated by those who, in the
early DAYS, uttered words of patriotism
within her borders.
For this reason, there is good ground
for belief that it is not altogether an APP
propriate spot for this grand birthday of
the nation. But there is ray of light
70 which we are directed. Large adyan-
ces have been made in that city, towards
a re-establishment of fraternal union and
peace. The bitterness of hate has been
greatly modified. There is yet time for
this feeling to grow, until has swept all
before il. If in that time, Philadelphia
proves to the world that she, and all Others
in the land governed by the same
ideas as herself, have relented, then on
the 4th of July, &c, will there be indeed
grand celebration. North, South,
East and West will mutually shake hands
over past differences. The country
once more united upon the only true
basis, can heartily congratulate itself
upon the renewal Of broken ties, and the
Centennial will not only be an appropri-
ate birthday of the Republic, but an oc-
casion of rejoicing among reunited
people.

Hon. Edwin M. stanton-Was ne "

Sufehde.
Perhaps the annals of history records
no more cruel, heartless and relentless
character than that of the person whose
name headsthis article.
At the bar, be was repulsipe and, over
bearing. As Cabinet minister, ssnguin.
airy and revengeful.
As Democrat, he made his Democ-
racy detestable by the manner of his
holding il. As Radical, he showed
himself capable of anything bloody, vim
dicative and even fiendish. Relentless
and savage to those who differed from
him, or fell within the grasp Of his power.
Just as he had received the appoint
ment of Supreme Judge, from the hands
of Grant, he died-perhaps by his own
hands.
lust now when the whole public are
awakened and aroused to the enormity OF
the crimes they have committed, the
Radical party is busily engaged in prov
ing that Stanton died natural death
matter of exceedingly small Importance
to the world, seeing that it was rid OF
him before he entered the Supreme
bench with hands all covered with limo
cent blood.
But this defense of the monster comes
too late to be satisfactory. This tragedy,
if tragedy it was, transpired nearly eight
wears ago. This wife and witnesses OF
his burial lived for years afterward, and
although the family, and the party OF
which he certainly was the ablest mem
Der, owed it to themselves to contradict
the rumor or forever hold their peace they
did not contradict it, 1t was then, and
ever will be believed that Edwin NJ.
Stanton was suicide.
This belief is greatly strengthened by
the fact that his funeral was strictly prl-
yate. by order of his family; by the fact
that his brother, DIR. Stanton, really
able and good man, died by his own
hands-which indicates the hereditary
faint in the family.
But it was not strange that his soul
weighed down by the memory OF ms
crimes, and his conscience, burdencd.witf
the blood of his victims who died III
prison. or were murdered by drumhcad
Court Marshals, should seek refuge II
the isolation of the grave.
So it was with Jim Lane, who, atte1
numbering his neighbor jenkins ut hi
we'll and spreading desolation on th'
border. shot himself So die
Preston King, who sought
resting place in the deep, rathe
than face the storm Of public wrati
which he forcsaw was coming. SO have
others fed in like manner from the jus
Judgment of a people wronged beyond
the power of expression.
That great ayensing god of night
and solitary place-consclence-gavt
them no rest They, therefore, sought II
in the realms of death. Others Of these
men were driven into insanity by thelI
crimes, and violent deaths overlook
others still. Such is the slow and terri
bic justice of n God that sieepeth not.

The Tobacco Crop.

The Louisville Comier-Journat csti-
mated the aggregate of the tobacco crop
IN the United States this year at 10000
hogshcads and cases; ~ compared with
26j, 600 hogsheads and 10000 eases in
1873, and 272,0OO hogSheads aid ll5,O0O
cases in 1872. Adding IN the stock left
over the total supply this year is 2ho,s6o
hogshcads as compared with S7o,i23 in
1873, and 373.S0% in 1872. Calculating
that the requirements will hcthc same as
in previous years, the supply left in the
markets October, 1875, will be- only 1000
hogshcads, AS compared with $4,000 this
wear and $4,000 in 1873.

THE Chicago Inter- Ocean says that the
Southern outrage business did not pay;
but it tries to get out of it by asserting
boldly that the outrages aeere committed
and defes any one to deny it. As we
were not there, we cannot absolutely
deny the fact; hut We will say this much:
1t is exceedingly significant that their
existence was emphatically denied by
Northern gentlemen living in the South,
while they were only published by Carpet
Baggers. Also very significant, that,
since the war, these reports have died
out, except in one instance. And very
particularly significant, that this instance
is in Arkansas, where dispatch was
sent by one HENRY NJ. COOPER, Secre-
tary of the Republican State Central
Committee, proclaiming that such things
still exist; but whose report has been
pronounced by every one, and actually
proven by facts, to be entirely without
foundation

Having been especial Commissioner
and afterwards Especial Agent of the
Claims Commissioners at Washington,
d. c., many of those who have claims
pending before that body have written to
me and seen me in person to enquiry in
regard to the progress and prospects of the
Commissioners passing upon their claims
at an early day.
AS it is utterly impossible for me to ans
wer each individual who has appealed to
me for information, take this method of
informing them rhat the Commissioners
have adopted rule requiring claimants
or their attorneys-ita applies principally to
the latter-to file written notice in each
case that the proposed testimony is all in,
and the claim is ready to be taken up for
Investigation and consideration. Those
who have claims should look and see that
their attorneys do their duty and give this
notice.
Feeling an interest in the claims of my
friends so many of whom have applied TO
me by letter or otherwise, in regard to
what was their best course to pursue, / APP
piled TO the Commissioners, and among
other things they say in their response,
that, "Rule No. DO was adopted and pro.
mulgated to prevent further allegation and
complaint by claimants, that their claims
had been taken up and adversely decided
before they had been accorded an Opportu-
ulLN Oh HnclutI uOO tllcJ "Oulu
add TO the testimony and evidence already
on file." In another part of their letter
they say, at was for time the practice Of
the Attorney to give notice OF the submis-
sion of his cases TO the special Commits
sioner, who notified them at Washington"
And then, in concluding the paragraph
from which I have just quoted, the Com
missioners say. The rule has worked
very satisfactorily, no case being decided
before the claimant was ready for decis-
ion and but few claimants, in comparison
to the whole number, meeting with delay,
caused by their ignorance or neglect Of the
rule. ~ L..r.HIa H. T..f..
From these statements of the Commits
sioners it will be seen that the shortest way
for claimants to find out the condition Of
their claims is TO write 10 and have the at
torney to give the required notice, in the
event it has been neglected. The Com
missioners say the rule has worked well,
attorneys havisg given the notice required
by I3Ule -, 81 nearly All the gases
