Our readers who intend visiting the great
Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, next
year, will find it an item of news worth pre-
serving.
The New Grand Union Hotel, now rapidly
approaching completion, will be the model ho-
tel OF the nineteenth century. 1t is built in the
most substantial manner of serpentine stone
and pressed brick, contains $50 light airy,
beautifully furnished rooms, dining room
nearly 500 feet in length, accommodations for
1000 guests, with every appliance and conven-
ience requisite to the comforts and pleasure Of
hotel life. 1t will be conducted under the able
management of Mr.. Thee. Russell, gente-
man widely known throughout the United
States for bis hotel qualifications. Added to
these advantages are the facts, that the Cen
tennal Grounds are less than ten minutes dis.
tant, and are reached every few minutes
throughout the day, either by steam or horse
cars; that the chambers are all of easy access
the house being Of but three stories; that the
location of the hotel is on the highest ground
m the city, and has on its northern front,
beautiful pleasure ground of fifteen acres. for
the benefit OF guests, which, together with its
superior parlor, Office and telegraphic arrange
ments for the convenience of its patrons, render
the 'Grand Union," not only the Centennial
Hotel of Philadelphia, but most delightful
resort for travellers to sojourn during the sum.

one clause, which has nauseated the whole

state can never secede from the Union."
The Boston Congregationalist also, has
been shocked by the long drawn out obse-
quies of Henry Wilson, "when,' it asks,
s'shall we have such reform of our present
barbarous funeral customs as will protect the
bodies OF the dead from the indgnities of
public honors and grant them speedy, quiet
and reposeful passage from the chamber of
death to the grave?"
Few men have given greater number of
ringing phrases to the country than Presi-
dent Grant; but in all the list down from the
unconditional surrender" that struck des-
pair to the hearts of the defenders of Fort
Donelson, no more inspiring declaration has
been given to the people than this, "Let no
guilty man escape" which comes a second
time, and with stronger emphasis than ever,
to strengthen the hands of the prosecutors in
the Western whiskey frauds. Brooklyn

The talk about advancing Mr.. Jewell or
Mr.. Bristow to the presidency, next year,
suggests the fact that no secretary of the
treasury or postmaster general has ever
reached the position Of chief magistrate. In
fact. with two exceptions, the state depart
ment has been the only one whose occupants
have ever been called to the presidential
chair. Altogether, if precedents are to be
followed, Mr.. Fish is about the only man in
President Grants cabinet who stands much
OF chance for the presidency, but the inde-
pendent voter is about, and, as novelties are
popular, the beginning of the second century
may be thought an auspicious time to estab-
lish new precedent.-Bost0n Ne1s.
An ignorant. blundering attorney is a nui-
sance, but the mischief which he does is
limited. Your real pest is he who has smart
ness and cunning but is destitute of all sense
of honor and truth and integrity. 1t is diff
cult to reach the evil by means of rules, regu-
lations or discipline; for, despite all we can
do, shrewd and unscrupulous lawyers will
find clients and business. There are men
yer as too dull an instrument for their pur-
pose. If they have mean revenge to feed,
or doubtful gain to seek, they want and
employ sharp, daring and reckless advocates.
This is indeed a sore evil and hard to be
remedied.-Judge Seymour of Connecticut.
The real legitimate speculation of former
days, which was based upon judgment, fore
sight and knowledge of values, no longer
exists. Of what avail is it, the knowledge
that such and such an institution, being well
managed, its stock should go up, or, badly
managed that its price should go DOWN. The
unwary operator who should act upon such
impressions in these days would find himself
in a lamentable plight indeed Mr.. Gould
comes in with his prop and his peas, and our
prudent, well-informed speculator cannot for
the life of him ''tell under which thimble the
little joker lies."-Wau Street article in New
York Herald.

In recent Congress Democratic reform

Whole denouncing Republican extravaganza
in having so many officials of various ranks
about the House. The number is about one
hundred and forty. The House is now Dem
ocratic and If the professions of Democratic
Congressman are worth fig, they will at
once abolish all those Offices which they have
hitherto denounced as sinecures. 1t is said that
there are thousand or two of hungry fel-
lows after these places, but that should not
make the slightest difference. If the Offices
were sinecures under Republican rule, they
are no less so under Democratic It matters

when in the opposition have set up.

An Anxious Party.


The events of the past week will have a
tendency to make prudent Democratic lead
ers very uneasy and anxious. They must
have viewed with dismay the mob of noisy,
betting, swearing, staggering and drinking
fellows that Democratic majority in the
House invoked at Washington last week.
Their prudent leaders undoubtedly hope that
their funds will be quickly exchanged for
whiskey, and failing to get Offices, that their
Congressman will have to raise funds to send
them home. If we are to believe the accounts
OF the New York World, there is yet good
ly number OF Democratic workers in different
corners OF the country who regard the con-
version OF corn into bread as an unwarranted
diversion of that cereal from its highest use.
The democratic success has evidently turned
the head of the average Confederate, and
when he arrives in Washington and fires up
with that extract of corn which be so much
admires, he is a plain spoken fellow. The
cause which he lost some years since is re-
gained and he swaggers about the streets of
the national capital and glories in what he is
for what he has been. Said one the other
night on Pennsylvania avenue: ~ am a
Democrat, and sohat is more am Confed-
crate Democrat and a fighting one at that,
and If anybody doubts it, let him try me on"
This is the spirit which Democratic success
displays at the national capital, and this is
what will bring the Democratic party to early
grief. The people will not fail to recognize
this spirit and temper in the organization of
the House without disgust, if not alarm.
In other days the Southern Democracy
controlled the Northern wing, because the
latter desired Office. The former dictated the
party policy and the latter fed upon the
spoils. Now the Southern Democracy, hay
ing everything within its grasp, is intent on
having the whole. They evidently forget the
past. If they have not they regard it as
something to glory in. There is none of that
meekness and quietness that the model
Northern Democra attic leader desires. In the
organization of the House the victorious ma
jority of the South seized all the subordinate
offices except one. They demand front seats
and large share if not nearly all the loaves.
1t is vain for the prudent ones to make mo-
tions for silence or implore the Confederate
Democracy to bide their time until after the
Presidential election is over. 1t is vain for
Mr.. Lamar to make fine speeches fervent
with patriotism. The mass of the Democracy
from the South take pride in being known as
Confederate Democrats and fighting ones at
that"
1t is no wonder that the present majority
has brought the Democratic leaders perplex-
ity and anxiety 1t is likely to give them
| more anguish than their frequent defeats. The
prudent ones foresee that the pathway o
the party is intricate and full of danger, and
that danger lies in the vicious element of the
South which controls the party by virtue oi
| its majority.
