The Centennial Z seches.

T-e rniIe delphia newp ipers have been
blIging most plteously in all directions
for funds to expend in that city to
make the great Centennial Show" what
+ ough' to be, after inviting the world
t come end witness it. But notwitb.
q auding the credit Of the nation has
been staked to some extent on this af.
fair, the thieving prepensities engender.

ministration has already begun to crop
OF in the city of "Brotherly Love" to
such an extent that the journals there
have become alarmed. 1t appears that
the city will be made to pay for its great
jubilee severely. In referring to the
matter the Evening Teleqraph saws:

An impression appears to exist among
these gentry, and in the minds of Ger.
tain members of Councils and munich
pal ottcial', that it is only necessary II
say that such and such u work must be-
done before the Centennial for The credit
OF the city to have it go through unoues
toned. at the rate the thing is pro
crossing, the prospect is that the sun
spent by Philadelphia On matters outsid,
OF the Centennial, yet urged on its ac
count, will very greatly exceed the larg,
amount contributed to the celebratio,
itself. If anywhere within radius O
several miles OF the Centennial grount
an alley can be found that is out of re
pair, there is at once an effort to secur
an appropriation to put it in order. s.
long as the impression alluded to is per
inltted to remain, there is no assignin,
any limit to the expense with which tn
city may be saddled, nor how many lob
bers will rake in riches from wretche,
and needless work.

From tho srssex journal.
Preside7t id Candidates.
SENATOR BAYARD PREFERRKD.

The papers everywhere are discuss
ing he avail ability of certain promi-
nent public men for Presidential candi-
dacy for The Democratic party. For
our part, aside from any personal con-
siderations or State pride, we regard
MIR. Baya d as the coming man In Ma
tional politics He is young-and we
don't want any fossil. He is a sound
Democrat, and the next President
should bc a true Democrat, for it has
heen clearly demonstrated that this
government cannot be successfully ad-
ministered except upon Democratic
principles. MIR. Bayarl is bold and
fearless, and ut the same time eminent
ly conservative. Other candidates are
bold, but lack conservatism. Other
candidates are conservative, but lack
courage and flrmness. He has a pri.
vate character, anu his public record is
pure and spotless these will commend
him to the moral and patriotic people
! of the land and place the contest upon
O higher plane than the mere partisan
issue. He his fine abilities, coupled
with wonderful industry and physical
endurance. Indeed, there Is no public
man in the land who has so many quail
ihoations tor the position, and not one
who would administer the government
with more even-handed Justice or do
greater credit to the Democratic party.
Those are few Of Mr.. Bayaid's quail
fications, and the question is not over
drawn. The young men of the land
can nominate him and they can elect
,, him. Let US have once candidate
who is a statesman, not n politician. A
man who estimates his honor above
position or wealth. We are convinced
that if the people of this land knew
Mr. Bayard as his friends knew him he
would be the next Obi Magistrate oi
p, this country, and then We should have
peace, re union and prosperity.

raising the crowd proceeded to Carolina Park,
where the races took place. In the evening
there was procession and the town was illu-

them the history of hundred years ago.
Gov Chamberlain, of South Carolina: Gov.
Hendricks, of Indiana Ex-Gov. Walker, of
Virginia; H. NJ Polk, of Tennessee Elk Gov.
Vance, of North Carolina, and others, arc
speaking to acres of people. There is i'm
mense enthusiasm, and cheer after cheer
rends the air. amid occasional discharges of
skyrockets and other pyrotechnic displays
Altogether the celebration has been the
grandest event which has ever occurred in
Charlotte, except the original Declaration.
Whatever doubts may have existed as to the
authenticity of the Mecklenburg Declaration,
the speeches on this occasion and the grand
illuminations in honor of the traditions sa-
credly guarded among an intelligent people
have dispelled.

THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Further Particulars.

Facts have been developed which contra
dict the supposition of suicide formed in con-
sequence of the circumstances under which
Miss Marie Lucie Tratant was found dead on
Wednesday evening, in her room, at the resi-
dence Alb Craps street.
The young lady was of cheerful and
bright disposition, and had no known cause
for the commission of such rash act She
was subject to fits. and it is believed that it
was in one that she died.
The theory is that she was engaged in
dressing herself preparatory to starting for
the boat which was to carry her to her home
in vermillion parish, and that while thus en-
gagged she was seized with the fit and was un-
able to call for assistance.
The parents of Miss Trahant reside in YER
million parish, and are of high standing in
the community.
Since the above was written an inquest
held by DR.. DeBlanc has developed the fact
that Miss Marie Lucie Trahant came to her
death from an attack of epilepsy. At the re-
quest of the friends of the deceased, DR.. De-
Blanc had the contents of the vial found on
the table examined, and it was found to con-
tain small quantity of ether colored with
crocus.

GALVESTON, May 2O.-The latest from
Brownsville, Texas, is to the effect that Mexi-
can cavalry has been stationed at various
points between Camargo and Matamoros
Gen. Cortina had a difficulty with Senior
Trevino, living near Reynosa. Trevino was
informed of q theft of his cattle. He found
the thieves and recognized them as servants
of Cortina He rode up and informed them
they must 60 with him to the alcalde.
They fired on him. He then returned the
fire, killed one, wounded another and took
prisoner the head man of one of Cortina' i
ranches. Cortlna went then with one hun
dred and thirty-fve men, demanded the
prisoner of the Alcalde, but could not obtain
him. He hung the Alcalde and afterwards
shot Senior Trevine.
Yesterday Cortina received an order to re-
port to the city of Mexico for duty. He de-
cIined to obey, stating that his resignation
had been forwarded to the proper officer.
His friends held justification for him.

nony. He said that the hitherto general,

harmony. He said that the hitherto generally
adopted custom of working to ruin one an
others business, instead of advancing the
general good, was a great mistake, and that
not only would a harmonious system of bust
ness better promote individual prospects. but
would add greatly to the commercial interests
of the city.
The applause which followed the enuncia-
ton of this sentiment, showed how earnestly
it's principle were echoed in the minds of
all present. Mr.. W. s. Bailey, who rendered
such valuable assistance in arranging the
meeting, was then treated to hearty express
sion of general kindly feeling, and as it was
authoritatively stated, that in his capacity as
ship broker he had interviewed with success
the famous Leopold, King of Belgium, he
was Immediately dubbed knight of Bel
GUM"
He bore his honors with becoming modes
ty, and bent his knightly head in token of
acceptance of the title.
He was however, persuaded to respond to
the many hearty expressions of friendly feel
ing expressed, and made a very neat speech.
The press was toasted and met with an ap-
propriate response. Mr.. Lacombe, the Sc
cretary of the association, was very happy in
his remarks.
Col. VIM. M. Owen and Messrs. Ocean,
Weeks and Miller enlivened the meeting with
excellent and appropriate songs, and gave a
most happy conclusion to the affair.
On the way home many amusing incidents
occurred in the way of carriage races, safe
collisions and general jollity.
Altogether the entire affair was most aus
picous one, land is an evidence of the gen.
eral kindly feeling existing between the rep
resentatives OF a most important branch OF
business in our city. Many of the parties to
the entertainment will shortly leave US
for their summer jaunt, and the meeting yes
terday was an appropriate occasion for adieux.
We hope and expect that many happy re.
suits will follow yesterdays meeting Of the
ship agents and brokers of New Orleans.

THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST.

We publish below communication from
his candidacy in the coming campaign:
New ORLEANS, May 20, 1875.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Sr-In the evening issue of your paper
you make the following announcement:
"Judge E. North Callom is spoken of as q
candidate for Governor on the Republican
ticket"
I desire to correct any erroneous impression
this paragraph may give rise to in the public
mind have never announced myself as q
candidate on the ticket of any party; first,
because I consider such an announcement
premature at this time; second, because am
devoted to my judicial duties and do not in
tend to relax nor depart from them by thrust
ing myself forward without very satisfactory
solicitation from those who have placed me
where l am.
No one is authorized by me to say that I
am candidate, and should /, at any future
time, conclude to submit my name to the
people for gubernatorial honors. my friends
of both parties may rest assured it will be on
such terms as will prove satisfactory to every
honest and patriotic man.
:. I am and have been essentially liberal in my
political views, and whilst I have seen much
y
take great pleasure in believing there is
enough patriotism and honesty Of purpose
a mong the masses of our oppressed, i'm
poverished aud suffering people to sustain
triumphantly liberal candidate, whose per-
sonal record may be such as to convince the
fair minds of both parties that he will be i'm
partial and infexibly just in all the duties of
the Executive Office.
am determined to continue in the per-
Torrance of my judicial duties until the ex-
piration of my term of office, unless the
liberal men Of this State deem it advisable to
use my name in connection with higher
honors. In conclusion, permit me to add
that if any of my friends have deemed it
proper to speak of me as q suitable candidate
for gubernatorjal honors, it has been done
without my solicitation, and that should 1
offer at all it will be on such principles as
Conservatives and Republicans, imbued with
fairness and true patriotism, may prudently
and safely unite.
hold that no political platform is wise or
tolerable which serves to divide the masses
and to produce discord-that is calculated to
divorce capital and labor, or to elevate off,
cials to place and power for party purposes
only.
Governors are not the governors of parties,
but of all parties without distinction-of the
State as whole. Their first and paramount
duties are to the State, and party is second
ary consideration which is we'll to consider,
but never at the expense of the general vel
fare. beg you to give this note place in
your columns, as l am exceedingly anxious
the public may entertain correct Impressions
of my humble position in politics. Having
knowledge of it, should they ever honor me
by making me their standard bsarer, they
may rest well satisfied that will serve the
State according to constitutional laws, public
economy and stern common honesty.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
E. NORTH CULLoM.
