has clainled or will claim that tho negroes

is positive proof to tho contrary. But ono
explanation IL possible OF tho Democratic

Of Louisiana-that tho Republicans werc
kept away from the polls by terrorism arld

THE LAST OF THE CENTENNIAL,

Yesterday was tho last regular day Of the
Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, and
with 1t closes NIL formal celebration Of the
frat ono hundred years of our national ex-
istonce. In spite Of the early opposition to
the project md tho dfscouraging attendance
during the first half Of tho Exhibition, 1t must
now bo conceded that there could havo been
no more appropriate Or uaefu! Centennial
celebration, and that 1t 1las been successful
beyond the anticipations Of those who based
their calculations upon the history Of former
worlds fairs. We believo that tho attend
anco hns exceeded eight millions Of paid I'D.
missions, amounting to nearly $l,000, GOO;
II 80, this anlount, aloug with the enormous
royalties received froul privileges and the ro-
turn on the sale of tho buildings, should
enable tho managers to refund to the United
Statos Government tho money advanced to
net the enterprise on It's feet. This Is tbs
first debt TINT ought to be paid. for tho Phil
alalphia people havo Ind profits largely in
axcess of oil tlloir subscriptions
The educational advantages Of tue Exhibi-
tiou hayo Injured almost entirely to tho
Americans, for tho foreign attendance Inns been
relatively very small. Fortunately, too, tho
low rites adopted by tho railroads aud tho
reasonable prices chargea for accommoda-
tons duriug tho last three ulontlls Of tho
Exhibition have enablod Thousands aud hum
lret!s OF thousands OF tho middle classes to
visit Philadelphia who would otherwise have

THE SPRINGFIELD OUTRAGE.

Notwithstanding tho election excitement,
tho horrible act Of vandalism attempted at
Springfield has caused a general thrill Of
horror. II thcro Ind been no election
pcnling, tho deed would havo ronsed tho
whole North to desperate determination
that tie vnndals should ho ovartakan and
punished. The facts have been already re-
lated in detail iu TIE TntnuxE, hut may bo
restatcI generally. Some time since alr.
RonEnr LINCOLN was informed by All anony-
nous note that m attempt would bo mado
on election night to break into the chamber
of tho LINCOLN monument containing tho
remains of Lis father, and carry them
of. He concluded to put the matter
into tho hands OF ELurn WAsununN,
who, with his customary vigilance md
promptness, was on tho spot at the time an-
nounced, md would hayo arrested the van

them had not one Of his assistants prcn.a-
turely discharged his pistol, which hnl the
effect to alarm them while thoy were Mt their
work. Before tho detectives could reach
them they had disappeared In the woods near
tho monument and mado good their escape.

rngcoua vandalism 1t is very difficult to ascer-
thin. It may have been TINT these infamous
ri1ers Of the tomb selected alection night as
a time when they would bo less likely to bo
observed, and when their opportunity for es-
cape would be sureat, to despoil the sarcoph-
aglls, carry off tho remains to somo
secluded md mysterious spot, md thon
negotiate with the authorities for their return,
hoping for large roward. In these days Of
ingenious1y horrible crimes, such theory is
not alto6 ether improbable. II gang of
desporadocs could abduct the boy Ross and
hide him away go akillfully and surely oven
whilo negotiating for his return, 1t certainly
would lie n much loss difficult operation to
steal the ashes Of LINCOLN and defy dotec-
ton, and perhaps ovontually secure largo
roward without any danger OF punishment.
It is not impossible, also, that tho motive
was simply morbid dosire on the part Of
tho vandals to connect their names
with a deed unparalleled for infarny,
and immortalizo themselves like tho
fool who fired the EpheBian doms,
md that other fool who threw himself
into the orator Of the volcano. Whatever
may hayc been tho motive, the decd was in
