Our readers will remember how.
last year, n committee appointed by
the Democratic CentrM Committee
OF Dauphin county, waited upon the
Auditor General and demanded that
the returns of State money on de
post in the banks should be sub
mitted to their examination. The
Auditor General being absent, the
clerk, upon whom the demand was
made, refused compliance, and the
committee, flushed with Indignation,
hastened into the Supreme Court and
nskcd for mandamus upon the
Auditor General to compel him to
show the papers they wanted to ex-
anime.
Our readers will also remember
how all the democratic papers in the
State, aided by the New York Tribune
aud Times, raved and swore over this
refusal to permit the examination de.
manded, as aplain evidence of cor
rnpton IN the State Treasury. II
was the one morsel of comfc rt they
had, in that campaign, and they
rolled it under their tongues with a
iare sense Of enjoyment.
The chairman of this bafiled smell
ing committee was }. Monroe Krei
ter' ESD, a leading Democrat of
harrisburg, and the application for
mandamus was made in his name.
He was the Ajax lebanon among
honest men. He had scented out
corruption in the State Treasurer 8
oifce, and 1t was his mission TO ex.
pose it. The New York Tribune WAS
delighted to know that so good a
man could possibly come out of

having the opportunity TO expose cor

THE CENTENNIAL.
MESSAGE OF THE pREsIDrNT.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25

ASlifNGTON, Feb. 20.
President Grant to-day sent the
following message 10 Congress
To Me Senate and Uouse of Rep
,esent0tires ; l have the honor here
with to submit the report of the
Centennial Commissions. and to
add a word in the way Of Iecommen-
dation. There have now been inter
national eSpositions held by three of
the great powers of Europe. IL
seems fitting that the one hundrcdth
anniversary Of onr independence
should be marked by an event that
will d'-rlay to the world the growth
and progress Of a nation devoted TO
freedom, and to the pursuit Of fame,
fortune and honors by the lowest
citizen ms well as the highest.
A failure in this enterprise would
be deplorable. Success can be as
snred by arousing public opinion to
the Importance of the occasion. TO
secure this end, in my Judgment,
Congressional legislation is necessary
TO make the exposition both national
and international.
The benefits To be derived from n
successful international exposition
are manifold. II will necessarily be
accompanied by expenses beyond the
receipts from the exposition itself,
but they will be compensated for
many fold by tho commingling Of
people from all sections of our country;
W bringing together the people of
different nationalities by bringing
into juxtaposition for ready ex-
animation our own and foreign skill
and progress in manufactures, agri.
culture, art, science and civilization.
The selection of the site for the
exposition seems to me appropriate
from the fact that one hundred years
before the date fixed for exposition
tho Dcclrr,tion Of Independence,
which launched us into the galaxy OF
nations as an independent people,
,manated from the same spot.
We have much in Jour var'el eli
mate. soil, mineral products and skill
OF which advantage can Se taken by
other nationalities to their profit. In
return they will bring to our shores
works of their skill, and familiarize
our people with them, TO the mutual
advantage Of all parties. Let MS have
u complete success of our Centennial
Exposition, or SUPPRESS it in it's in.
