The Centennial.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-The con :
llict of authority betwesn the United
States Centennial Commissioers and the
Centennial Board of Finance, which for
some time past has existed, is approach =
ing a crisis. The dispute al the present
time is principally on the points as to
whether the Commissioners can compel
the Board of Finance to pay salaries to
the president and other officers OF the
former body, and whether the Commls-
sion has the power to appoint the neces-
sary police force, or to fix its compensa
tion. The Board of Finance contend
tnat rs they are entrusted with the
money, and their president and treasurer
are under heavy bonds Tor the proper
expenditure of it, the Board should
have absolute control of the funds. The
conflict has been intensified within n
short time 10y some actions and demands
The Commission and Board of Finance
have,recrntly sought the opinions OF emf
ncnt lawyers.
The Eceniny TsfegrGph to-day will
publish eight columns, reviewing the
state OF the case and giving copies OF tn"
opinions furnished by Chas. OConnor,
Abraham Browning, Cortlandt Parker,
John &. BulIitt, Richard l.. Ashhurst.
Henry Wharton, William Henry Rawlc.
Richard G. McMartrie, and VIM. Il
lIir,t. The opinions are unanimous in sus
tanning the board of finance in its refusal
to pay salaries to the president and other
officers OF the commission, and assertlngt tine
right of the board to appoint the needed
police force. IL is hoped that the publ
cation of these opinions will end the dis
pute, but should it be otherwise, an
appeal to the courts will be made by the
Board of Finance. Yesterday closed the
first calendar month OF the Exhibition,
and the attendance for that time just
turned one million visitors.

Denial from General Butler.

New IohK. June 10.-General Butt, +
gives All emphatic denial to the publish
ed statement that he was instrumental in
bringing the notorious Blaine letter L.
light.
The General says; l, engineer such n
farce as that? Do you suppose if hui
been Mr.. MulIigan's counsel, o. plann"r
of the attack on Blaine would have
permitted MulIgau to go to Washington
with these letters unless he also had
copies and photographs OF them? Nc,
sir; and then if Blaine desired to buy
the originals he could buy them. When
the time came to use the certified copies
they would be forthcoming.

,rrtion of Mr.. Blaine in the House yes
terday by Republican Congressman, and
add that the Blaine movement for the
presidency has eliminated, and the sup
portcrs Of the eX.Speaker are not dis
posed to urge his nomination any fur

fection is shown in the open avowal OF
Senator Wadleigh, that Mr.. Blaine is no
longer an available man for the noml-
nation Senator Wadleigh is supposed
to be friendly to Bristow. When MIR.

yesterday, Mr.. Blaine ran IN from the

The Old south church I'm Boston

There is a movement on foot IN tins
city, started by half dozen gentlemen
of means, having in view the purchase OF
the Old South Church building and the
ian on which it stands, SO AS to preserve
the edifice .or the benefit OF future gener-
atlons. and rs q memorial OF the past.
The plan, in its crude form, is to use the
main room for public gatherings, let II
for meetings, &c and for other general
purposes, and make business offices OF the
rest. In this way it is supposed that the
stock holders may get small dividend
to pay expenses, while at the same time
the old steeple and the form of the ed'tlce
nav be kept intsct. 1t is understood
that ten gentlemen have agreed to put
down $1,000 apiece to make up the first
$40 900, and that an organization VIII DE
affected to carry forward the project ana
secure the whole requir sd sum, probably
nearly quarter of million dollars
Should there be a prospect OF success TINS
week the sale of the bullding, ADVERTISED
for next week, can be easily postponed
or the edifice bought in.
