Unqucstionably, there is very
general feeling of dissatisfaction
throughout the West, at least, in view
of the very small reduction in rail
road fares offered to visitors to the
Centennial Exposition. We are glad
to notice, therefore, that at the last
meeting of the Centennial Commits
sion, Hon. Robert Lowry offered a
resolution which was unanimously
adopted, providing for immediate
action on this question. His resolu-
ton appoints Messrs. Hawlcy. Morrill,,
and Cleveland as a special committee,
in connection with the Board of
Finance, to confer with the railroad
companies of the United States, and
urge upon them the vital necessity
of reducing the rates Of transporta-
ton to and from the Centennial
Grounds. In support of the resolu-
ton, Mr.. Lowry cited attention to
the precise rates now established by
the different railroads, from the sever
al cities Of the West to the Centen-
NAL Grounds and return. Mr.. Par
sons, of Texas, followed with similar
statements us to the rates from the
South, and conceded with Mr.. Lowry
in the opinion, that unless rates are
reduced the people will stay at home.
The result Of the committees action
will be awaited with interest. Some
thing should be done soon.-Daven-
port Gazette.

The Circuit Judgesnip.

We notice that the Cedar Falls
Gazette brings out II. G. Hemenway,
Esq, Of that place, as a candidate
for Circuit Judge of the 9th District.
We have the very highest respect
for Mr.. Hemenway as man; we
cheerfully concede his ability as an
attorney and his integrity as con-
sistent Republican, but unless Judge
Bagg declines, or there is something
against him of which we have not
been informed, we cannot see the
necessity or appropriateness of a
change. We are not IN favor of fire.
quent changes in judicial offices If
the incumbents have proved their in
tcgrity and ability. We think the
bar and people of this county gener-
ally are satisfied with Judge Bagg,
and we think they would be inclined
to support him for third term, even
against so good man as Mr.. Hem
enway. But if change is to be
made, it is not improbable that Blu
chanan county might have a candi-
date to present. Our city has some
attorneys who would fill the position
acceptably and ably, and should
Judge Bagg decline to be candi-
date, it is more than probable that
the claims of some man in our own
county would be put forward for
recognition. But as we said before,
we can see no good and sufficient
reason for change, and unless some
conclusive objection to Judge Bagg
is offered, we shall still hold to the
opinion that the public good will be
best subserved by his reelection.

THE Waukon Standard, abiding

The Waukon Standard, abiding
to the fact that the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal admitted to it's columns
an article speaking well of Mr.. Bris-
tow, and endorsing him as the right
sort of material for candidate for
the Presidency, says:
eve object to our enemies selecting our
candidate for us, and we object to candi-
dates so selected rs not to be trusted"
On the same principle, we suppose
if any fair-minded Democratic jour
nal in Maine, Mr.. Blaine's home,
should-as they are very likely to do
bear testimony to his personal in
tegrity and high character, the Stand
ard would be bound to drop him i'm
mediately as "not to be trusted" The
Standard knows, or ought to know,
that nine-tenths of the Democratic
papers in the country are making
common cause with the whisky ring
in villlfyiug and slandering Secretary
Bristow. Against this flood of Dem
ocratic defamation what significance,
except it be honorable to him, has
the single voice in his favor, coming
from a Democratic paper published
in his own State? If the praise of
the Co,wier-Journal is to be imput-
ed to his discredit, may not the abuse
of the Dubuque Herald, the Burning
ton Gazette, and in fact every Bour-
bon sheet in Iowa, be counted in his
favor? Even were Mr.. Blaine in
need of assistance in Iowa, does the
Standard think that such weak and
vapid suggestions as the above will
help him, or weaken Mr.. Bristow in
the minds of any but the most rabid
partisans? Mr.. Bristow has a rec
ord, and in that the Standard will
find nothing to justify its charge that
he cannot be trusted.

The Centennial.

We take the following extracts
from the official report of John
Welsh Esq, President of the Cen
tennial Board of Finance, just pub
lished, relating to hotel accommoda-
tons and admission to the EXPOSE
ton:
At one moment great anxiety was
felt lest there should be scarcity of
accommodation for visitors. 1t has
been entirely removed. Hotels of
very large capacity have been erect
ed in the immediate vicinity of the
Exposition and throughout the city.
Old ones have been enlarged, and by
the agency of an enterprising associ-
alton very large numbers Of private
dwellings,, of which Philadelphia has
sixty thousand more than any other
American city, have been utilized for
the purpose; SO that under no proba-
bic circumstances can any inconven-
ience occur for want of comfortable
accommodations,
The strongest assurance is also
felt that the charges will be moder-
ate.
In the matter of the charge for adj
mittancc, a fifty-cent note paid at the
gate admits to grounds, and there is
no further charge. A visitor can en-
ter one building or all Of them as he
sees proper. We quote the text of
the report touching this question:
GIN the arrangements connected
with the entrance and exit of visitors,
exhibitors and employees, the greatest
simplicity has been aimed at. Each
class will use special gates. The
ticket for visitors will be .tjty-cent
note, and if not in the possession of
the visitor it can be obtained in ex-
change for other money at an office
pear each gate of entrance. Children
pay tho same as adults. TO vary
from uniform price entails SO many
Inconvenience as to forbid it. Fifty
cents for nine hours visit to a mus
cum of the products of the world,
distributed among beautiful buildings
and on grounds of surprising attrae-
tons, must be satisfactory to every
one. Such exhibitors and employees
as are required on tho grounds will
be furnished with special tickets
Properly authorized representatives
Of the prass, within reasonable limits,
will be recognized IS entitled to free
admission"

THAT President Grant has chosen
to spend a few weeks of each sum-
mcr at Long Branch for pleasure and
rccuperation has always been held up
as q fragrant misdcmeanor by the
Democracy. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that when they came into
power in Congress they should include
this among the Republican abuses
to be Investigated. Some weeks since,
Black burn, of kentucky, introduced
a resolution, which was passed, re-
questing the President to inform the
House whether any executive duties
have been performed away from the
Capital, and if so what was their ma
ture, &c.
Last week President Grant sent in
his reply to this inquiry, and from
the character of the message, it is
safe to presume that the Democrats
of the House will not pursue inyes-
legations in that direction hereafter.
The President told the Democratic
majority in digniied, yet pointed
language, that they were meddling
with matters outside of their jurisdic-
ton, that the Constitution nowhere
gives Congress the right to inquire
when, where, or how the executive
a coordinate branch of the govern
ment-pertorms his special duties,
except it be for the purpose of estab-
fishing ground for impeachment, and
in that case, the President informed
them that he enjoyed the right per-
tanning to every citizen, not to be
made q witness against himself
The President further animated to
his impertinent interrogators that
his trust was committed to him by
the people, and that only to the peo-
pie is he accountable for the manner
of its performance. While thus re-
fusing specific information, no says
that he has absented himself from
the seat of government, and that he
has not during such absences neglect
ed to discharge executive Duties
Accompanying the message, which
throughout is scorching rebuke Of
the housing politicians thus seeking
political capital, is memorandum o.
the absences of the Presidents from
the National Capital, from Washing
ton down. This shows that Presi
dent Grant has ample precedent fol
his actions, all of his predecessors
being frequently absent from thu
Capital, the apostle of Democracy
Jefferson, for more dian one.fourtl
his term, and Jackson for 500 days
during which absences they transact
ed important executive business.

The following paragraph from the
New York Herald is copied by the
Des Moines Register without COM
ment:
The Bristow movement has never been
anything more than sentiment, like that
of Mr.. Bowles and few country editors
for Charles Francis Adams 1t is in the
hands of a few saints in Boston and a
swarm of detectives all over the country,
who think that the only way to nominate
President is to send all the other leaders
OF the party to the penitentiary.
Here is contemplate insult Of
fered the Republican party, in the in
timation that the convicted and i'm
prisoned whisky thieves were it's
leaders, and yet, for the sake of the
fling which it contains at Secretary
Bristow, the Register quotes the par
agraph approvingly.

Echoes from the Tomb of Slavery.

Ex-Governor Wise, Of Virginia,
the man who signed the death war
rant of the martyr John Brown, in a
recent argument before the House
Committee on Elections, took occa-
sion to indulge in kind of speech
familiar in the mouths of Southern
fire-eaters before the war, but which
since the death of slavery and the
humiliation of its defenders, is indi-
cative of nothing but the impotent
rage of baff1ed traitor. Here is a
specimen of the language used by
Wise on the occasion referred to:
There was no time between John
Browns sentence and execution that, if
his friends could have brought me the
living Greeley, would not have exchang-
ed John Brown for him, and then, Andrew
jacksonville, would have taken the re-
sponsibility of causing him to be hung in
John Browns place. 1t would have been
a desirable vicarious offering of the in
stigator for the victim of the highest
crime

A DIES MONIES correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune says that he
has been informed by Col. Abernethy
that he will not resign his office of
Superintendent of Public Instruction
before some time in the autumn, too
late for the election Of his successor
at the next election. We have heard
the guess made that Col. Abernethy
will not resign at all, which would
be satisfactory probably to all except
those parties who are counting upon
stepping into his official shoes.

THE Davenport Gazette, an ardent
supporter Of Mr.. Blaine, does itself
much credit and amply sustains its
reputation for hlgh-minded, honorable
journalism, by its able defense of
Secretary Bristow against the flag
rantly untruthful and bitter attacks
the State Register is making on him.
The Gazette bears willing testimony
to the sound record of Mr.. Bristow
as a Republican, to his patriotic SER
vices as soldier of the Union, and
to his taithfulness and integrity in
positions of great responsibility and
trust. 1t does not endorse Mr.. Bris-
tow as Presidential candidate; but
it is too self-respecting to came down
to that level of inscriptions parti-

and misrepresentation to obscure his

THE great Centennial Exhibition
at Philadelphia, was formally opened
on Wednesday, with much pomp and
ceremony, much flying of flags, firing
of cannon, cheering and music. 1t
is estimated that $50, 900 people were
on the Exhibition Grounds. The
stand was crowded with high officers
and dignitaries Of our own and tor
eign nations, including the President
and Cabinet, the Emperor Of Brazil,
the Turkish Ambassador, the Chinese
Commissioners, and host Of others.
The formal exercises consisted of a
prayer by Bishop Simpson, grand
music by Theodore Thomas orches-
ira, singing of the Memorial Hymn,
written by the poet Whittier, and
speeches by Gen. Hawley, President
of the Centennial Commission, and

The political campaign was opened

murder of Senator Twitchell, Re-

Legislature, and George King his
brother-in-law. They started to cross
the river in boat with negro ferry
man, whena White Lacquer appeared
on the bank, with Spencer repeat

first shot Twitchell dead, then drew
aim on King, MORALLY wounding
him, and finally finished his bloody
work by desperately wounding the
negro boatman. He then shouldered
his rifle, and retired as he came, with
out molestation. Thus the Louisiana

JUDGE d. S. WILSON has been
named as candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for Congress in
this District, and some enthusiastic
admirer of Judge Reuben Noble, of
McGregor, has suggested him pro.
per recipient Of the Democratic NOM
nation for the same office. Both are
Judges of the District Court IN their
respective judicial districts. And now
comes the Constitution of Iowa, and
says: that the District Judge shall
hold his office for the term of four
wears, and that he "shall be ineliga-
bic to any other office except that of
Judge of the Supreme Court during
the term for which he was elected"
This provision would seem to debar
both of the honorable gentlemen
from the privilege of representing
the District in Congress unless their
legal acumen can discover way to
get around 1t. Wonder if they have
thought of it.
