How the Treasury Department Embar-
rnsScS Commerce,

The operations of the centennial eXhi-
bition ut Philadelphia have been greatly
lmpeded by the absurd and impractical.
BILE red tape regulations of the treasury
department. The chief of the bureau of
customs is W. +. Clark, who has lately
been given the position in place OF an old
employe, displaced by Mr. Bristow.
Ai the opening of the exhibition, Mr..
Clark issued such complicated orders in
relation to the entry and Withdrawal of
bonded goods there that the collector of
the port of Philadelphia was obliged to
declare them impracticabe, and de-
clined to carry them oHt, The conse
quence is, that all goods from for,
eign countries ON exhibition at
Philadelphia were entered there
without any record whatever being
taken. In the Philadelphia custom
house this naturally gives IN advantage
to the honest exhibitors as against the
treasury, and their dishonest conicd-
crates, and the result will be the loss of
millions OF dollars of revenue ON goods
sold during ana at the close of the expo
sition, and of corresponding profit to
those foreigners who are not men of bus.
mess integrity. TO obvate this, a regu-
latiOn has been made requiring all spaces
of foreign exhibitors to be fenced of at
the close of the establishment, and will
prevent quick sales by auction, which is
the only way that loss can he saved
The transfer of the buildings, the restora-
tion Of Fairmount park to its original
condition, as required by law, and the
sale of all the Fedifccs, excepting
memorial hall, will be delayed by this
great mistake of the treasury. This
clerk is typical radical official Of the
treasury. His theory is, that all mcr-
chants are natural thieves and that the
payment of Just refunds should always
be refused by the treasury and the Off
cials required to 90 to the courts. He
is one of the men who compel citizens to
be dishonest in order to preserve their
business chances, and his course in rcla-
ton to the centennial exhibition is only
a sample of that pursued by the trcasu-
ry department in its relations with bus.
inoss men for the last eight years.
The whole effort of the republican
chiefs of government since the war has
been to multiply forms and create EN-
in the wav Of the regular
of business, in order to keep
up an apparent necessity for the largest
possible number of oficcholders. I'm
der this system the olIicchOldcrs have
grown from $1,000 in 1869 to $4,000 in
1879.

The Conditions Of an Armisticc.

A London dispatch of the 3oth,
says If an armistice is agreed upon,
then comes the question Of conference,
Russia objects to Turkish participation
therein. 1t may be assumed that this
refers solely to a position Of a power de-
liberating ON its own case. Obviousl V if
six powers meet to discuss recommends
tions TO be made to a seventh, there is
something anomalous in giving the lat
ter the casting vote in their decisions :;
but it is impossible for moment to con-
sent to the exclusion of Turkey from the
European system of which, in virtue of
the treaty Of Paris, she forms a part. 1t
ought to he practicable to find a method
by which representative Of the Porte
may sit in a conference, 50 as to obviate
this difficulty before a conference is sum
moncd. The question on its basis and
objects which might occasion protractcd
and dangerous debate, should by urani-
nous agreement be reduced to the simp-
lest terms, which may he stated thus :
The basis Of the conference is the main
tenanCe Of the independence and integ-
rty of the Ottoman empire the object
is the ameioration Of the condition OF
the christian subjects Of the sultan.
This basis could not alarm Turkey re-
garding her sovereign rights. This OBJ
jcct is one which Russia profcssed alone
to have in view. We arc not without
foundation for hope that the solution
here toreslladowed may be happily
effected

Lord Roscbcrry's Marriage 10 RotlS-
child,

The London papers announce the mar
riage of Lord Roscberry, the noted turf
man, to Miss Hannah de Rothschild, the
only daughter of the late Baron Meyer
de Rothschild. The late Baron was
great sporting man, and he was also very
much attached to Lord Roseberry, who
has now taken to himself one of the most
amiable, if not the handsomest, of all the
Rothschild ladies Lord Roscberry was
born in 1874, and is consequently in his
twenty-ninth year. In marrying Miss
dc Rothschild he marries the richest
heiress in the world. The late Baron
left $40, ,000. 900, and his daughter being
his only child, received S3j, pJO,OOo out
of the so, 900 900 under her iatherswIll.
The Rothschilis are very ayerSe to these
marriages; and even when the Hon.
! Eliot Yprke, about two years ago, mar
ricd Miss Annie de RothschlId, the teel-
inc about the marriage was 50 keen that
Sir Anthony forbade it. 1t took place,
howeyer, and Mr.. Eliot Gorkc married
her, though her father refused to give
! her dowry. The exequcrry to The
Duke of Edinburgh could afford to pu
up with the loss, for she had an income 4,
some glS,000 per annum which 81,

A Higll Priced Bale of Cotton.


The bale Of cotton, to which alUsion
was made in this paper some weeks ago
as having been sold at various places for
the benefit of the orphan asylum at Ok
ford, and which had finally reached this
place in its journeyings, has been sold to
The Masonic fraternity here for the hand
some sum Of one hundred dollars, and it
now goes to Fayetteville to perform a
like mission there. The bale was started
on its mission through the liberalily of a
gentleman of Wayne county, having been
purchased by the traternityat GOldsboro
for the benefit Of the asylum, where it
realized handsome sum; it next went
to Raleigh, where it was equally sue
cessiul next to Charlotte, and then to
Wilmington, in each of which places it
has made proud record for itself. We
trust it will yet net many hundreds for
the orphan fund.

The Frec.Dcliycry Postal system.

From an official statement prepared
for the postmaster general, it appears
that the operations Of the irce-dclivery

WASHINGTON, October 27, 1876.
BY the President of the United States Of
America-A Proclamation:
From year to year we have been accus.
toned to pause in our daily pursuits, and set
apart time to offer thanks to Almighty God
for the special blessing he has youchSaied TO
us, with our prayers for the continuance
thereof. We have at this time equal reason
TO be thankful for His continued protection,
and for the many material blessings which
His bounty has bestowed. And in addition
to these favors accorded to us as individuals,
we have special occasion to express our
hearty thanks to Almighty God that by His
providence and guidance our government,
established century ago, has been enabled
TO lulhll the purpose OF It's founders in offer
ing an asylum to the people OF every race,
and securing civil and religious liberty to all
within its borders, and melting out to every
individual alike Justice and equality before
the law. 1t is moreover especially our duty
to offer our humble prayers to the Father OF
all mercies for continuance OF His divine
favor TO us as a nation and as individuals,
by reason OF all these considerations,
!, Ulysses $. Grant, President Of the United

At no time since the commencement
of the canvass has there been greater ar.
tivity ormore intense excitement in polit-
icaI circles here than there is at the pres
cnt time. The fact that the national
committees of both parties have their
headquarters in New York makes ii the
political as it is the commercial center Of
the country, and it is therefore easier to
gauge the political sentiments OF the
whole country from this point than from
any other. very great change has
taken place in the relative feeling in the
two parties within the past two weeks.
The result of the October elections was a
stunning blow to the republicans. They
had been so confident Of a large majority
in Ohio and retaining their hold upon
Indiana, that the loss in those states as
well rs in West Virginia, as compared
with the votes of the last presidential
year, has had a most discouraging effect
upon their canvass. JUDGED, the moral
effect of their defeat has been 50 great
that they no longer make any serious
claim to this state. The gamblers, who
are usually shrewd guessers are betting
two to one on Tildcn, while before the
odds were large against him. While the
republicans have been depressed and
have lost confidence, the democrats have
been corrcspondingly clated. They are
now feeling absolutely certain of success,
and indeed, if they carry Now York it is
difficult to see how they can fail of it.
The tide certainly runs this way, and
there is hardly time for change before
| the election. If there were time To do SO
believe the republican policy would be
altered, and that the bloody shirt would
he dropped, the carpet -bagger suppressed
and the canvass fought upon the SQUARE
issue made by the democrats, that of
honesty and economy in the administra'
tion Of the government.
TO do this it might he necessary to
throw overheard and repudiate some men
now high in the republican councils, but
think that as the situation now is the
party managers would not hesitate to do
this if it were possible. The soldiers OF
the late war have refused to lend them
selves to partisan uses on either side.
There are as many democrats as republi-
cans among them, and even those OF them
who are republicans are less likely to be
influenced by the appeals to the old war
spirit than any other class of men. They
have no other feelings toward the south
than those of the utmost irlendlncs-,
and they, better than any other, under
stand how absurd is the assertion that the
southerncr has any desire to reopen the
old sores.
