Philadelphia Exposition.

The grand Centennial Exposition made successful start on Wednesday last. Wagner's new March, MT. Payne's Hymn, and Dudley Bucks Cantata, all went off successfully. Some 10000 people were present. The President and other Wash ington notabilities. with Dom Pedro, of Brazil, were present, and the opening ceremonies were brief and appropriate. The exhibition is magnificent, though most of the departments are not yet fully arranged.
 There seems danger that Philadelphia 1 will repeat the Vienna blunder of over- charging visitors. The restaurants within the centennial grounds are said to be very exorbitant in their charges, but we do not yet notice complaints of extortlon against the hotel and boarding house keepers of the city proper. We hope the millions who wish to visit Philadelphia, this sum- mer. will not be subjected to any organiz- ed system of swindling.

 An important bill was reported in the Senate last week from the comittee ap- pointed by the last legislature to revise official terms &c. to correspond with the fall elections now held under the amend ment Of the constitution. Under it most official terms are to begin on the first Monday in January. The terms of court in this county are not very mater ially changed, except that the District court is I only given six instead of nine terms. Some of the provisions of this bill will no doubt be greatly modified by the legisla- ture. The retention of the old 6ctober town elections-only a month before the I state electiop-strikes US as a mistake.

William Lloyd Garrison Setting Type.

The paragraph is going the rounds of tho
newspapers that few days since, on his
seventy first birthday, the venerable Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, reviving the instincts
OF his old apprenticeship to the printers
craft, set up type in the office of the New
buryport Herald, where fifty years ago he
learned his trade. The writer remem bers
another and more notable occasion when
Mr.. Garrison took his stand at the COM
positor's case, and it will be recalled by
numbers of our Brooklyn residents who
we're on the Fort Sumter expedition. 1t
was on the evening following the flag rails
ing and the delivery of Mr. Beecher's ora
ton. The whole material and machinery
OF the Charleston Mercury Office ON the
twelfth OF April, 1865, were pressed into the
work OF putting in type the report Of the
celebration, and there was a call for prin-
ters. Mr.; Garrison and George Thomson
went to the Mercury office, and the former
volunteered, and put in type the first
"stlckful" OF the report, using for that pur.
pose type that had rendered the bitterest
pr0-slavery and rebel service in an office
which, not long before the war, had printed
the offer OF a re ward for Garrison's capture
dead or alive. Mr.. Garrison showed him,
self q good workman at Charleston. and
lately at Newburyport. Faithful in one
thing, he has been faithful in all. and heoon
MS lie work, as many a man has done he
lore him, by fidelity in his apprenticeship.
