Going 10 the Centennial.

As everybody sho can spend the time or
raise The money and has a taste for sight see
ing on grand scale will probably visit the
Centennial this summer, the following hints
TO visitors, which we take from an exceed.
ingly valuable article in the Tribune, tlescrip.
tive of the appearance of the things the day
before the formal opening, will be found
timely and useful;
II will not be advisable TO secure lodgings
in advance through agencies unless you are
familiar with the city, and have made up
your mind as to the quarter you wish to live
in, or have friends to choose for you. Other.
wise You may find yourself billcted of in
hot and unsavory by-street, at long dis
lance from the Exhibition, and from all
other points Of attraction. II you intend
to stay only few days, the hotels near the
Exhibition will be, on the whole. the most
desirable; but ii you mean to remain longer
than a week, go first 10 one of these estab-
lishments or to one of the hotels in the city
proper, aud then look mp lodgings to suit
you in private house.
DO not come with the idea that you are
going to see an enlarged state fair that eau
be " done in a single day. Nothing less
than week OF steady application will suffice
for rapid survey Of the great show. In the
main building alone there are eleven miles
of aisles and passage ways between the lines
of show cases. If You are absolutely limited
to three or four days, you would divide your
time as follows devote the first day to
taking a general look at the interiors of the
six principal buildings Gin six or seven hours
OF hard tramping you can get through them
alp and then make up your mind what de-
partment you most want to see, and devote
the rest of your time TO seeing ii thoroughly,
so as TO take home some clear and lasting
impressions. If you roam about aimlessly
your recollections of the fair will be wholly
chaotic. In case you are fond of art, two
days spent in the art hall will be 10 some ex-
tent an education in the styles Of the modern
| Schools whereas an hour or two of hnrrying

memory only a tumble of color aud forms
If your special bent is for machinery, or
farm products and processes or mineralogy
or chemistry or ceramics, or whatever it
may be. after general glance of the exhibi-
ton stick TO the department that interests
md benefits you most. How long will it
take TO see everything thoroughly 2" the
reader may ask. At least a month, and the
time will be well spent, too. At its conclu-
sion You will be familiar with the best arts
and industries of the entire globe. The cost
Of months stay in Philadelphia, with daily
visits to the exhibition, will be as follows

WOMAN SuFfRAGE.-A committee of
Washington women have appeared before
the proper House committee and made an
appeal for the extension of the elective fran
chise to the women of the District of Co
lumba. The committee asked the ladies
who appeared before them, if they would be
willing to submit the question Of woman
suffrage to the women of the district. To
this they objected, on the ground that the
women generally are so much under the con-
troll of their husbands and brothers that they
could not vote freely upon the question.
Well, if they are so much under the control
of their masculine friends that they cannot
be trusted to vote upon the question Of wo-
man suffrage, by what system of reasoning
can it be shown that they would be free and
independent voters upon any other question

CALIFORNIA people want the Central
Pacific Railroad investigated A petition
has been sent on TO Washington, in which it
is alleged that the gifts and subsidies to the
company have exceeded one hundred and
twenty-five million dollars in value, while
the construction of the road is Of the film
siest kind and ought not to have cost over
thirty-fve million dollars. All sorts Of fraud
and extravaganza in contracts are charged,
and the managers are accused of dividing
among themselves immense profits from
these transactions. 1t is also alleged that
little money is expended in keeping the road
in repair, and that it is now in very dilap-
idated condition. If the allegations of the
petition are true, the Credit Mobilier is en-
tirely eclipsed as an engine of fraud and
corruption.

Boarding-houses charge from six dollars a

rooms in rough, shed-like structures are
furnished for fifty cents a night, and meals
at an equally moderate price. In short,
there are all kinds Of prices for all kinds of
people, just as in other cities, where there is

Official CORRUPTION IN ST. LOUIS.

A NUMBER OF CITY OFFICERS ARRESTED ron
BRIBERY AND PERJURY-PARTY DIsCORD THE
CAUSE OF THE EXPOSURE.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRmUNE.l
ST. LOUIS. March 31.-A tremendous sensation
was created in this city to-day by the indictment
and arrest Of 10 members of the City Council and
other city officers for bribery, perjury, and suborna-
ton of perjury. Ii has long been moral certainty
that the CITY Council and other departments of tho
Municipal Government were reeking with corrup-
ton; but owing to the thorough party organization
and discipline and the continuance Of one party
in power year after year, no exposures
of any importance have been made
until to-day The collapse even at this
late day is perhaps only attributable to The strife
and discord in the party which last year cnminated
in open rupture and the withdrawal OF a defeated
candidate for the nomination Of Mayor aud his race
as an independent candidate. This was Henry Over
stoz His competitor Mr. Britton, the regular noin
inee il was claimed, received small Injpniy, anu
he took possession of the office. Dir. Oyer-toh con-
tested the election, and, after nine months Itiga
ton, gained a victory and was installed as Mayor
which office he now holds Rich developments are
expected.

noon after long debate in which there was niue
interest the resolution requiring an investigation
into Mississippi affairs, and particularly the eiectioh
in 1879. was passed by the Senate by party vote
The substitute proposed by Mr. Christiancy was the
one finally agreed upon but it differed only slightly
from Mr. Morton's original proposition. There can
be very little good result from the Senates action
to-day, whatceer the facts may be in Mississippi The
resolution requires a report from the Committee al
the present session Of Congress, and the Committee
will have scarcely three months III the natural
course Of affairs to conduct the inquiry, even II IL
deyotes the whole time to the work. visit to
Mississippi and inquiries III various sections OF the
State will be necessary, as well rs long sessions III
this city. The resolution also contemplates action
by Congress at tha present session. This OF itself
will reonire even more time than will be left of the
session after the report of the Committee is made.
Action by Congress. in view Of the late overthrow
of the Enforcement act by the Supreme Court
must be careful and deliberate; but II only
political considerations to be attained, ana the
investigation conducted by Senator Morton to make

confessed his speech was well written, well consd-
