Philadelphia are not in The least deferred
by such fact No fraud is too great Tor
them TO undertake. The worst design
yet discovered came to sight Saturday
night when Henry Marcus, Treasurer OF

was leaving the Democratic headqusr-

Police Headquarters.
In the vehicle the officers found two
large bundles, which, upon being opened,
were found TO contain blank paper, but
water-lined with the words: Personal

Maine in the Centennial.

We fipd in letter from Mr.. Edward
King 10 The Boston Journal, the following
"By the way. what has tecome OF
Maine? Where is her State tuilding !?
Where are her people? Why do hey
not assemble and do justice TO them
selves aud 10 the exhibition | cannot
telp believing that the people oil
that State thar did no, take part in the
festival will vet regret it
very much. Maine was not expected TO
be back ward in the great gathering. and
one sometimes has considerable difficulty
in convincing the patriotic sons of that
great State that there is really no rallying
point Oh the ground Tor them"
By the rules established by the Centen-
NAL Exhibition managers. only each OF
the original thirteen States was entitled
10 a particular day, and Maine not being
one OF them, The Legislature did not
deem it necessary 10 provide for Il State
building. Maine might have joined in
the festivities and ceremonies Of Massa-
chusetts day, had she been invited; but
she was not. nor was such courtesy
expected.
But Names exhibit in the Exposition
is entirely creditable, and in proportion
TO her population, and considering her
distance from Philadelphia, we do not
believe that any State in the Union has
furnished larger number of visitors TO
the Centennial Than Maine. Since. the
first opening of the great Exposition in
May. there has been constant flow OF
travel in that ERECTION. aud portion OF
the time The capacity OF the several rail

sitting But and the Democrats.

Sitting Bull is democrat; that's plain.
After fighting US, scalping the wounded,
torturing and numbering captives; alter
doing all the mischief and perpetrating
all the cruolties in his power, he eoolly
sends to the authorities message that
he is out OF ammunition and begs that
they will have the kindness TO send him
some powder and ball, that he may be IN
condition to come himself and shoot the
men whom he asks to supply him. We
do not say that this is the coolest thing
on record, but is uncommonly well Tor
an Indian. 1t is not by any means up to
the democrats in the South; but then
you cannot expect as much of an Indian
as OF Confederate. He acts up to the
light that is in him and that is all that
can be expected OF any one civilized or
savage, rebel or Indian,
The rebel democracy in The Southern
States made war upon the government,
stole its arms. starved the prisoners who
fell into their hands, set fire to hotels
aud steamboats,. distributed injected
clothing. committed every act OF savage
vengeance stimulated by civilized lntelll-
gence and having been conquered, bav-
ing submitted, and accepted conditions
which they broke at the first opportunity,
they coolly ash that the government
whose power they have resisted and
whose mercy they have abused and.
whose existence they have threatened,
will have the kindness 10 place itsell In
their bands, agree to their propositions,
and permit them TO 90 precisely ali that
il has prevented them by arms from
doing. Sitting Bull cannot come up to
this. But he comes as near to it rs you
could expect from Big lndian.-Prort-
