PORTLAND INDUSTRIAL ExHIBITIoN.-The
effect of the Industrial Exhibition is largely
abridged by the absence of exhibitors or their
agents, and their failure to explain the peeull-
arities and value of the goods they exhibit.
vixen the representatives of the press make
their rounds, finding no one who can give them
proper information as to the value and extent
OF the various manufactures represented, they
are obliged to content themselves with only
what appears on the surface, which often dis
appoints the exhibitor, who thinks it very
strange that all persons do not know IS much
about his goods and business as he does him
self
Every exhibitor should have some one pres
ent who can answer all legitimate questions
and give proper information. In no other way
can the effect of The exhibition as an advertis-
ing agency be fully realized.

More Trouble i'm Ohi0

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June IL. = A despatch
from Jacksonville to the State Journal says that
at daylight the Union runners pickets were
not visible, but soon after party, numbering
about one hundred, collected near the colored
forces. Care was taken to keep the main body
of the negroes out. Hearing that the strikers
hid conversed with the negroes and urged
them to join the Union the guards were
doubled. Three negroes walked up to the
guards, presented their revolvers and walked
over to the Unionists. Whenever the guards
endeavored to press back the colored runners
the strikers urged them the more vehemently
to desert.
Secretary Putnam and Sheriff Warren ad-
vlsed putting the main body at work and leav.
ing the small number for the guards and eff
forts were made to put sixty en- into the
mines. At this time eight hundred strikers
with brass baud approached and were met by
Messrs. Putnam and Warren and restrained
from proceeding further. Putnam expressed
confidence to the operators in his ability to
control the strikers and his disbelief in the
fears of violence. Meantime the miuers COM
mttee approached the line and one of their
number commenced speech The excite
ment among the negroes was very great.
They crowded down to The lines and general
stampede was imminent Efforts were made
to restrain them, but some thirty or forty in
small squads deserted. Several efforts were
made to check assertions, the most successful
of which WI by singing by loyal negroes of va
rious pieces familiar to the negroes thus drown
ing the voices of the speaker on the other side.
The plan of the strikers seems to be to weaken
the force OF negroes by desertion, and they say
they will not use force. The operators say they
are not discouraged, that they have more ne
groes coming and If necessary will bring 1000
men for the miners to take care Of
Some of the negroes returned to duty during
the afternoon, and while a number are at work
in the mines the others are throwing up earth
works. Orders have been sent for 200 more
negroes. A portion are expected tomorrow
The military at Cincinnati and Chillcothe
have been ordered off duty, but with instruc-
tions to be ready at moments notice The
military at Athens, numbering hundred, has
also been ordered to be ready to move if needed.
Ldter.-Advices from Jacksonville tonight
say all is quiet. About 100 negroes have de-
serted to the strike.

EARLY CLosING.-The wholesale dealers on
Commercial street striving to have the
stores closed on Saturday afternoon at three
o'clock, during the summer. The only Obstacle
they find to contend with is the dry goods deal

open. As there is scarcely any business trans
acted after three o'clock, Saturdays, it seems
as though it would be the proper thing to close

Gentlemen had a talk with the President yes

feeling very positive that he would not only re-
fuse to sign the bill, but also any other financial
bill that may be passed this session.
A Times special says there seems to be little
expectation on the part of the ntlationists that
the President will sign the bill. They expect
however, with less confidence than before the
passage of the former bill that he will not dare
to take the responsibility, and that if he does
the result will be he formation of new party

become immortal Who were the President 8
accuseIs? Men with hungry stomachs and
dised imaginations who wanted to get back to
power The people had discussed this question
in 1872 and had decided it in favor of the Presi
dent end of an honest administration and they
would do it again. These accusations were the
very things that would cause the people to vote
again to endorse the administration and they
would do it whenever they got square issue at
the polls.
Mr. Cox-They didn't do it in Connecticut.
Mr.. kweather-The issue in Connecticut
was one of whiskey and when the Democrats
found that out they kicked around in their
collins.
Mr.. Niblack of Ind, regarded the effort at
civil service reform as a complete and total
failure, because instead of giving clerks and
other subordinates some sort OF tenure of office
it simply embarrassed the President in making
his appointments,
Mr.. Potter of New York, agreed with Mr..
Niblack as to the failure of the experiment.
Mr.. Kellogg spoke in support of his PROPOSE
ton for carrying out the civil service rules.
Mr.. Garfield said the question was whether
the Government would any longer try to do
anything to better the civil service He hoped
the gentleman would make that issue fair and
square and would meet it. If no effort was to
be made; if the whole matter was to be aban-
doned, let it; he said that it was a plain and
square work. If it was proposed to return to
the OLD democratic system and regard the $40,
900 or $4,000 offices as Sc many pawns to be
played with in politics and to be traded and
made merchandise of, let that be openly said
and defended, but if on the contrary, it was
believed public offices were made for the SER
vice of the nation and not for party per-
qusites, then the experiment should be con-
tinued in order to see if there was any way by
which the great national shame could be at
least abated.
Mr.. Lawrence of Ohio made another effort
to get in an amendment for the bill as plan
for the reorganization of all the departments OF
the Government sa as to equalize salaries and
reduce expenses and increase thr efficiency
thereof, but on point of order made by Mr..
Butler of Mass. it was excluded.
Mr.. Kellogg's amendment was then rejected,
4S to 108.
[Mr. Kelogg's amendment provided for the
insertion in the sundry civil appropriation bill
of an item of $25, 900 to carry out the civil SER
wee rules.
Mr.. E. R. Hoar of Massachusetts, offered
his amendment appropriating $4,000 ia aid of
the building undertaken by the Little Sisters of
the Poor in Washington. Rejected.
The item of $25.00O for the Women's Chris
tan Association in Washington was struck out
in point of order.
