EDIToRs SENTINEL: In our last we
attempted to present to your readers
an account of the opening ceremonies,
and having thus broken ground, we
will now endeavor to give them some
idea of the exhibition itself. 1t il on so
vast a scale, and Of such Incompetent
sible magnitude, that it is utterly i'm
possible to see it. even specifically, in
less than . month, at least, and il m
wishes to thoroughly master it and
learn all about it that car be learned,
he had better just conclude to remain
here rs long as 1t continues open, and
even then he will have failed to attain
his object.
One cannot obtain an adequate idea
Of its proportions without being on the
ground and seeing with his OWN eyes.
When We are told that the main build.
ing, for example, is 1880 feet, or more
than a third Of a mile, long; hat 1t Is
464 feet in width, and that it covers
over &c acres of ground, it seems large;
and when we consider that there are
about 10 buildings Of AL kinds on the
grounds, the Centennial Exposition
seems . big thing; but when we come
to the grounds and see tor ourselves,
We have to confess that our former
ideas Of its magnitude were wholly in.
adequate.
1t will be seen, then, that the only
way to decribe 1t Is to take 1t up by de.
partments, discussing each one separ-
siely; and accordingly we will begin
with the United States Government
building, rs It is perhaps the nearest
ready OF all. This building is located
north Of Machinsry Hall and a little
west of north of the main entrance to
the grounds. It Is built of wood and
glass, and Is painted on the outside q

SAN Francisco, May 20.
Mrs. John q. May, aged about 20
wears, de a few days ago and was
buried a few hours after death. DIR.
X. l.. P~inching, who attended her, re.
ported at the Health Ollica that she
died OF old age and intirmities. Some
circumstances led to the belief that the
matter needed investigation and officers
were detailed Ia work 1t up, who
brought to light the following facts:
About noon last Saturday John +.
Lang. "a locksmith at l.324 Polk street,
was requested to visit the dwelling No.
,3U5 Larkin street, and open q door.
He found the door In question locked
With the key OF the inside. He soon
succeeded in turning the bolt OF the
lock, opening the door, when he was
Mortified to see an elderly woman ly-
ing upon the floor of ihe bath room,
fully dressed, with her throat cut from
ear to ear, aud near her feet lay a cary
ing knife besmeared with blood, with
which the deed had been done. To all
appearances the woman was dead. Mr..
Lang, however, raised her head ana
summoned the household. DIR. Pinch
ing was sent for. He found on exam
ination that the woman was not dead,
and with the assistance OF the lock-
smith the wounds were stitched to-
gether, the operation occupying about
All hour. During the process Of dress
ing the wound the patient moved sew
eral times, but did not appear 10 he
conscious. About | o'clock Sunday
night Mrs. May died and was buried
next day. The inmates of the house
where the body was found were the
husband of deceased, John q. MAY. a
lady whose name is not given, and a
girl. Mr.. Lang suggested hat the police
authorities be notified OF the circum-
stance o avoid trouble, but he was re-
quested not to mention the matter to
any one. II appears that the husbsnd

The individuals recently convened at
Indianapolis and styling themselves
the Independent National Greenback
party, have been very properly snub-
bed by Senator Booth. They tele-
graphed him a request to accept a
nomination from them-whether as
President or Vice President, our dis
patch does not make clear. Mr.. Booth
replies curtly that he is not in accord
with their general views, and hat he
had only not declined their nomina-
ton but he had not conceived it
worthy Of notice.

An acquaintance OF Senator Booth
asked him by telegraph from Indian
apolis yesterday II he would acceptth
Greenback CONVEX TONS nomination
for the presidency, and he replied, mo;
l hope my name will not he mentioned
as \ candidate" The only informa-
ton he has vet rereived of his notnina-
ton as Vice President is from the
newspapers. lie says he does not in
tend to pay any attention to it, not re.
gardiDg it as a matter worthy of special
notice. He says there are only two
points of accord in his financial views
and those OF the convention, namely:
That United States legal tender notes
should be substituted for all National
Bank notes, and that the easiest way
to bring them up to a gold standard
and provide for their redemption is
through incntrovertible 1855 bonds
a system which he has heretofore adj
vocated.

THE INDIAN BuREAu.-If the opin-
ions of Senator Allison, telegraphed to
us to-day concerning the temper of the
Senate on the question Of the transfer
OF the Indian Bureau to the War De-
partment be we'll founded, a most Ia
inevitable condition of affairs is pre-
sented 10 US. There is no need for our
charging upon the economy, the ad.
visibility, indeed the necessity of the
measure. All people, of both parties,
residing west of the Missouri, ARE agreed
upon the question. We are now told
that it may be defeated in the Senate,
because, forsooth, Senators are 10th to
forsgo their patronage, and because the
Secretary of the Interior, who, while
in the Senate, favored it, and who was.
by the President, appointed to the Cab
met after being rejected by his own
party as Senator, has now seen fit to
change front and oppose the step which
he formerly earnestly advocated.

PASSENGERS from San Francisco, says
the Carson Tribune, report an excit-
ing incident that occurred on the boat
bound for Vallejo. 1t appears that =
crazy man was being conveyed to
Stockton, and that during the absence
or the officer having him in charge, he
succeeded in getting free from his
chains; after which he jumped over
board. Instantly the cry OF "Man
overload !" was echoed throughout
tie boat, and all was excitement. Con-
Il lerabls delay was experienced in
getting a boat down; in the meantime
the lunatic, who was an expert swim
mer, was striking out for dear life, and
succeeded in getting q distance of over
a mile from the steamer before the
boat reached him. He was hauled in
to the boat, and was not the least
scared or fatigued from his adventure.

Address OF Florida Democratic Committee.

LIVE OAK, Florida, Dec. 6.-The Demo-
ocrats issue the following address to.day
To Hon. Sam'l j. Randall, Washington, D. C.:
The undersigned, who came hither to be
present at o fair count Of the votes cast by the
people of Florida, have had the grief to be
witnesses Of the counting out of the Tilden
electors chosen, and the counting in Of the
Hayes electors rejected at the.polls.
We have witnessed the progress and the
consumation Of a deliberate, preconcerted
scheme Of fraud. This scheme, first conceiv-
ed for execution at the ballot.boxes through
out the State, having there fallen short of
success, was then continued aud promoted by
several county canvassing boards, and was
yesterday supplemented and finished by the
Radical majority of the State board of can
vassers at Tallahassee. tits manifest to every
intelligent observer here:
First. That upon the face of the correct re:
turns the Tilden electors had majority Of all
the votes cast
Second. That the Tilden electors had this
majority over and above the Radical count
after it had been swollen by many hundred
illegal votes through local frauds and false
returns. d
Third. That the majority declared for the
Hayes electors is fictitious, false and frau.
dnlent majority, which the two Radical State
canvassers manufactured by throwing out
whole Democratic precincts and counties, in
open disregard Of facts and with fragrant vio-
laton of law.
They did not even keep to the shrewder
path blazed out for them by their legal advis
ers from the North. All along their devious
| track the marks of reconciliation, the foot
prints, OF shameless purpose, are uncon-
&c aled. IA
The Democratic electors receiving their
certificates of the true result from the attor,
ney general, member OF the board of can
vassers, met to-day and cast their votes for
/ Tilden and Hendricks. The Radical electors,
fortified with the false certificates of Gov.
Stearns, met to-day and cast their votes for
Hayes and Wheeler.
II is for the Congress to judge and deter
mine whether this assault upon the rights and
| liberties Of freemen thus far prosecuted under
cover Of the arms and the authority Of the
federal administration shall be crowned at the
capital with success.
Familiar with the history Of carpet.bag cor.
ruption and misgovernment, we yet needed q
visit to Florida to convince us Of the distress
that rule has caused. a3 ~ ctHt
II has subverted her social order; il has
plunged the better part Of her people to the
point Of impoyerishment; It has abolished the
usual contentious Of political parties and ar.
rested the progress Of her two races in self
government. In truth, the late struggle at
the polls was not between Democrats and Re.
lpublcaus. 1t was between a hapless race,
misguided by few knavish adventures and
even convicted felons, who call themselves
Republicans, and gentle, long suffering peo-
pie, whose patience has permitted their op.
