At a meeting of merchants in New York,
Wednesday evening, ex-GOv. Bigler, of
PENNSYLVANIA, made an address, stating the
objects and purposes of the Centennial Ex-
hibitiOn, aud soliciting subscriptions to the
balance yet needed for the enterprise.
Gov. Bigler said that Congress had
authorized the Centennial Board Of FL
nance to raise S1O,OOO,OOO, but it was prob
able that S7,60S, 900 would cover the cost
Of the exhibition. The buildings, which
will cover an area of fifty acres, are, by con-
tract, to be completed Jan. l, 1876, and
that it is probable they will even then
have to be enlarged to accommodate the
necessities Of the exhibitors. He estimated
that the gate money would pay twO-thirds
Of the whole cost Of the project. Any sum
left over a. the end Of the exhibition, after
all expenses had been paid, will be divided
pro rata among the stockholders, as re-
quiTed by law.

The Treasury Department has decided TO
the cases against the National
banks OF account of the failure to stamp
their checks. The reports thus far re-
ceiyed from the Bank Examiners show that
more than two bundled banks are open TO
on this account. The basis Of
compromise adopted is this: Where the num-
Der ofunstamped checks is five or less, there
is no penalty. Where the number Of checks
range from five to fifty, the penalty is fifty
dollars. Where from fifty to one hundred,
the penalty is one hundred dollars. This
is a penalty at the rate Of one dollar for
each check.

Our neighbor of the Times recently
boosted that it possessed gentleman who
knew more about Mexico than any other
person sin the United States This oc-
CURED to us at the time as being little
hard on the Mexican minister, but we bowed
our head to the edict. Recently lady
correspondent, provoked by the misprint
"Terrocarrid," read the Times a small lee
ture on the Importance Of correct orthoera-
ply, by which the Times profted so far as
to print the word Tcrrocarril." It is
scarcely necessary to observe that the
corrected photography is little better than
the original error. ''Fcrocarril" is the
Spanish word for railroad.
But the Times man seems under a still
further perplexity. We should infer he
supposed "Terrocarril'' en- individual. In
explaining the error he says:
Not having the honor of personal &C.
gualntance with every individual in Mexico
and other foreign countries, we are obliged,
as general rule, TO accept the orthoyraphy
OF proper names as we find it IN the
Why, then, does he not give the proper
addition, and write Of "El Senior Terro-

scolded them for their idleness
was wrong, for no man offered them work
or wages for their improvidence, when
they had nothing TO save; but he exhorted
and assisted them to labor, to economy,
to sobriety, to harmony. 1t was an axiom
Of Swift that he would burn everything
that came out Of England except her
coal This was because he would
substitute Irish manufactures, Irish
shipping and varied and universal
employment and education of the
whole Irish people. The agitators
who succeeded him pursued different
policy. They made Ireland discomfort
ed and disaffected appanage of the
| British court. England was unwilling to
aid because afraid to strengthen Ireland.
I Starvation and fever invaded ireland, her
| people emigrated 10 America. There
| the same Ignorant and INDECENT mass, the
serfs Of local mobility became men.
From Montgomery to Meagher and
Mitchell they became men in their own
right. OF their humber and illiterate
class We're born Sheridan and Cleburne,
and thousands of men who in the civil
pursuits of life have aided to elevate
America to empire. Wiser than Emmett,
Fitzgerald. O'Connell, Duffy or Mitchell,
these immigrants have effected more for
ireland abroad than they would ever have
done at home. They have aided to build
up power which has held England in
moral awe. They have taught us that
not in imprisonment, not in disiranchise-
ment, not in contiscation, not in exile
can the ties Of a people to a government
be made eternal and irrevocable. These
humble emigrants, driven perhaps in
Gods providence to brave the folly of the
English government and the faulty of
their own political leaders, have proven
to the world that an Irishman in the free
republic of America is the equal in intelli-
gence, in patriotism, in courage, in social
or political virtue, to any who walk the |
earth anywhere. They have aided to hold |
England in respect for republican policy; !
and the emigrant, John Mitchell, was sent |
by an American constituency to assert in |
the Parliament Of England q more just, |
a more generous and o more american |
policy toward Ireland
