Cur Washington Letter.

Washington. p. G., May o'h 1876
The National Executive Com
mittee Of the Liberal Republican
party. as Anticipated in this CORES
pondence. has determined to call
National Convention. Philadelphia
il the place. and July 20 the time
selected for the purpose. There
the canii1ates for both parties will
be in the field and the Liberals can
Judge between them. Whether
they will nominate candidates OF
their own. or be content with en-
dorsiDg those Of one of the other
parties, will depend upon their
estim tte Of the character and abil-
tiles Of either for the purposes Of
Reform. The Liberals believe that
the country needs a new party
pledged to the Union. one term,
civil service reform, honest admin
istration, and equality of the States
with rights Of local and self gov
eminent, and national good will, in
which harmony may be secured be-
tween the sections and late enemies
in war, by allowing men of all par
ties to enter on the ground floor,
without regard TO antecedents, the
party itself having no antecedents,
and therefore nnembarrassed by n
record-a party which looks to the
future for its usefulness, and to
the past only for instruction. This
is a high ideal which, it is probable
the logic OF events will prevent
from being realized this year. We
are too close upon the verge of &C
tual conflict to form new army !;
and the Liberals will have to join
one or the other of those in the
field. II is said that Of all those
vet spoken of for the Presidency
by either party, these Liberals and
Reformers arc best pleased with
Samuel J. Tildcn, of New York, for
President, and John NJ. Palmer, OF
Illinois, for Vice President
Having settled the SO 1000 Union
Pacific bond purchase to his own
satisfaction, Mr.. Blaine has again
found 1t necessary to rise to a per-
sonal explanation. In the sched-
ule of Kansas Pacific bonds which
had been placed as Cakes Ames
said, "where they would do the
most good" the name OF "Blaine,
49," appears. This schedule was
not intended for the public eye, bit
saw the light Of day through the
clairvoyance of newspaper cores
pondent in 1878. The gentleman
who first disclosed the facts to the
world was J. w. Knowlton, now
deceased, the correspondent OF the
Chicago Tribune. Mr.. Blaine's ex-
PLANTATION reflected upon the YER
acity of the correspondent and
ex-Congressman Riddle, father-in-
law of the latter, addressed q letter
20 Mr.. Blaine, In which he said:
sYou assaulted the reputation
Of James Walcott Knowlton,
then two years and half In his
grave. Had he survived till to-day,
you would have remained silent
and your Joe Stewards and Mac
Farlands would have told no tales.
IL devolves on me to vindicate, as /
best may. HIS memory from your
assertions which | shall do ut an
early day"

tho progress in the art Of ship bu;ll-
ing there i q complete collection
Of pictures Of boats built between
the eleventh aud eighteenth CEN
turtles.
The largest model, about eight
feet long, is that Of a modern full
rugged American ship. and the old
est is that of the first fishing boats
used In Boston harbor. A steam
propeller about five feet long, and
capable Of running four miles an
hour, will make daily excursions
upon the lake near the northern
entrance of the hall.
Among the most interesting
pieces in the collection, are models
of Daniel Webster's fishing boat,
which be tuilt himself, a hinge
masted river boat, portable and
folding row boats, sloops Of war,
and the redoubtable "Kearsage,"
old "dog bodied" boats, and a com
plete collection of modern yachts
Besides these, there are oars, can
vas, tackle and gearing OF every
quality and description. The mack
erel fisher, with miniature men on
duty, attracts particular attention.
THE REyERBERAToRY FURNACE.
The fire was lighted on the 2stb
ult. in he Reverberatory furnace
of Gilliuder d Sons Glass Works.
The stack is &c feet high aid has
n diameter of il feet at its base,
and has capacity of melting nine
tons of glass per week.
About fifty hands are to be en-
ploycd about the furnace and an
healing apparatus, and in blowing,
pressing, cutting and engraving
the product of the factory, from
which alone the exhibits of the
firm will be made. Many novel
ties in glass ware will also he pro-
duced. such as busts Of Washing

characters, and many not so prom
inent will be represented by me-
dalions and engraviugs and Bo-
hemian glass blowing and spinning
will form 4 very attractive feature.
The glass factory stands directly
west of the Machinery Hall, near
the environs of the grounds, and
is adorned with globes and colored
glass ornaments blown in various
forms. in such a tasty manner as
to make the exterior quite inviting.
Inside the attractions will not be
great until they have commenced
the fabrication Of their goblets,
lamp ware and fancy articles, but
they will be ready to commence
their work even before the furnace
becomes properly heated, which
will take about two weeks.

In the Machinery Hall and Main
Building, work is being pushed as
fast as possible, so that the chiefs
Of these departments and their
clerks say that they are really not
given the time necessary for the
three requisites Of life, eating,
drinking and sleeling.
The Spaniards and proprietors
of the soda founts are prosecuting
their work at night as well as day.
The goods Of the Argentine repub-
lie have Just arrived by sailing YES
sci. and will soon be in exhibition
order.
At the Installation Office COM
plants are made that many persons
to whom spaces have been allotted,
have given up all idea of exhibit
ing their goods but have not po-'
likeness enough to inform the Cen
tennial authorities Of their change
Of minds.
A patriotic citizen has sent sealed
proposals to the Centennial Com
mission to exhibit the fifty ugliest
men in the United States. 1t is
not yet known what part Of the
country is supposed to provide the
largest number Of this class OF ex-
hibits, or whether the Commission
has seen fit to allot standing room
to them, but we fain would ask a
reprieve from any such torture.
Jingle men and ugly women too
will undoubtedly he there in album
dance, but a collection of men
made from this stand point, would,
we fear, make the best men doubt
the fact as related in Genesis, that
man is made in his makers image,
and, after examination, was pro-
nounced good.
/ The United States Centennial
Commission have been in session
here for n week past, bnt have ac-
complished hut little of public i'm
portance so far. The Sunday ques-
ton has been at length definitely
decided. On Friday they voted to
leave the grounds open, leaving the
buildings closed, but by Saturday
they began to fear that many would
just visit the grounds, and get
peeps here and there when they
could, ard be so well contented
Herewith, that they would pay no
attention to the buildings during
the week days, and thus not help
the Centennial along financially, so
they decided 10 close them entirely.
The liquor question has also been
discussed quite at length, and will
require the most careful attention
to deal forth satisfaction to the
public and justice to the restaur-
ant keepers, who have built their
restaurants with the understanding
that the sale of liquors would be
allowed. No decision has as yet
been arrived at.
The city is beginning to put on a
gala day appearance already +; flags
OF all nations are hanging from
thousands of windows the new
lines of street cars have commenced

the boys to save school bills, and
patching and making to cheat the tailor,
and turning this and twisting that, she al
