though it is my nature to sympathize
with the under dog in fight il he
shows pluck; but when he rolls over
on his back, with his tail between his
legs and yelps for quarter he is en-
titledtoall the punishment given him.
As one CT these exhibitors is q Bos-
ton manufacturer, I ask, if he is
afraid to enter into competition with
Philadelphia maker, what is he
going to do about it" when his in
struments are placed beside those OF
France, Germany and Italy in 1876.
THE CENTENNIAL. ssY
The ladies of Baltimore held a
Centennial tea party on the 18th in
stant for the purpose Of raising funds
for the great event of 1876. In Gin
cinnati the ladies are about inaugu-
rating a movement whereby they will
be fairly represented in all the
branches of female industry at the
Exhibition of 1876. The recent
! interstate exhibition held III Cincin-
natti was visited by 544, 900 persons,
an average Of nearly 10000 per day
for the ~ days of the exhibition
apply the same ratio of visitors to
| the Centennial exhibition the at
fractions of which will be world wide
--and it foots up three million visi-
tors for the six (G) months the Exhi-
bition will remain open. In order
that Ohio may "spread herself" at
Philadelphia in 1876, no exposition
will be held in Cincinnati that year.
The Republic of Columbia has given
notice Of its intention to participate,
and its government has appropriated
$25 600 with which to begin the
preparation necessary for a proper
exhibition of the effects of that peo-
pie at the Centennial. Mexico ap-
appropriated $50 900 for similar pur-
| poses, and thus far New Jersey is the
only State of this Union which has,
by her Legislature, made an appro-
priation to the Centennial Commits
sion. .3.f .5Ns
Alderman William M'Mullin and
Adelaide M'Mullin, may have been
'married in the sight Of God" as
Adelaide observed in the trial Of the
cause she brought against the Squire
last week, charging him with assault
and battery; but in the "eyes Of the
| jury" which acquitted him, such a
marriage was not regarded as lawful,
and it would therefore be libellious
to say that M M'Mullin did batter and
assault the woman, OF that he is the
father of the little MMullin. '
In imposing sentence upon Daniel
K. Jones, for repeating at the cleo
ton in February last, Judge Paxon,
in burst of Judicial eloqpence,
id; can attempt to bribe Cabi-
net minister, or juryman, or Il
Judge, with intent to corrupt him in
a case depending before him, does
more directly affect the community
than the case under consideration
"A blow aimed at the purity Of the
elections is a crime against this ma
zion. When the ballot-box ceases to
reflect the popular will we shall be
in condition little better politically
than South American republic, if,
indeed, it is necessary, even now, to
60 beyond some of our own South
ern States for an illustration"
As Jones was convicted June 2nd
last, and sentenced about the middle
of October, it was kind in the Judge
not to disturb him during his sum
mer vacation; but was such fighi
OF rhetoric requisite as a prelude tC
a sentence of 60 days, and $50 fine
as was imposed upon Jones by the
patr.o'iG Judge. Ii Mr., Jones il
endowed by his Creator with the in
aliable right to liberty, it becomes
the self-evident duty OF the Cover
nor to see that he is not deprived
OF it. Ill u. ,.'
