will have much to say of this peculiar e1.
hibition of peculiar nation on remark
abe occasion. 1t is impossible to deny
that the effect viii be revival of the lately
decreasing immigration. According to the
authorities, fifteen hundred immigrants
| would be worth the million and a half
asked of Congress. If there should be an
increase of only ten per cent. in immigra-
tion, that would be from ten to forty
thousand annually. There is not nation
on the globe that has so much reason as
ours to expect gain from an industrial ex
hibition.
1t is again announced that the Emperor
and Empress will visit the United States
this summer, three vessels of war compos.
ing the squadron that will bring them here.
Dom Pedro is an enlightened ruler,
statesman, one of the few monarchs who,
untitled and in private life, would hold
high social and political position through
his native abilities and fine culture. He
cordially accepted for Brazil the invitation
of the United States to be represented at
the Exhibition. and comes, not as an en-
peror, but as a nobleman to see what the
Great Republic has to show as the sum of
a century's growth. He may find incom-
plete buildings, imperfect facilities for
moving men and goods crippled and
balffnished exhibition. Why? Because.

foreign eKhibitions-at London, Paris and
Vienna; after legislatlng for five years in
favor of this International Exhibition. and

dents own commission; after twice send

ton chartered to raise funds; after appro-
priating half a million dollars for its own
expenses on the ground-like any private
exhibitor-to show the workings of the
several departments OF the Government;
after challenging the. world to compare
workmanship, skill. inventive and practi-
cal genius, with the free citizens of the Re
public; 10, and behold at the very last
moment, when no other resource but Gov
eminent aid is left, new Congress has
discovered there is no Constitutional power
to finish the noble task, and the nation
must become the subject Of laughter, jeer
and contempt the world over 1t is very,
very late to find the lack Of power. 1t
should have been known twenty-five years
ago, when the Government helped its
citizens to go to the Crystal Palace. where

tories only $4SS.Coo has been raised.
Should the bill fail, the balance would
have to be raised by the people Of Penn
sylvania in addition to the enormous
amount already contributed, swelling their
contribution to over six and quarter
millions of dollars. This would be emil
nently unjust and improper, and we shall
never believe, until it is consummated,
that the Congress of the United States
could be guilty of so great wrong.

THE VOTE TODAY.

The vote on the Centennial bill is to be
taken today. We cannot doubt its passage
by very decided majority. In view of
the fact that it was found constitutional to
appropriate hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, in each case, to enable the American
peopie 10 exhibit at London, Paris and
Vienna, one can hardly believe that con-
stitutional scruples can cause any member
to withhold his vote from this appropria-
ton The profession Of such scruples may
serve as preteIt and may justify him who
presents them in claiming to be more de-
voted 10 the Constitution than Washing
ton, Jefferson, jackson or the majority in
any Congress has ever been, but will prob
ably not induce any considerable number
of people to estimate him at his own value.
As it wGs constitutional for us to add to
the glory Of foreign exhibitions by large
appropriations, it is found to be not only
constitutional, but wise. judcious and prof
liable for other nations TO make large ap-
preparations to enable them TO compete
with us on our own ground.
A year ago it was said by Mr.. Sumner
and others that England nor any other
great nation would help US celebrate the
Fourth of July, and yet the list of English
exhibitors fills six columns in the news
papers in which it is displayed, and in ad-
dition TO this her commission has erected
offices, in imitation Of the buildings of old
Chester so durable that her representa-
tives say that if the city Of Philadelphia
Will accept them, and give them ordinary
rerair and an occasional coat of paint, they
will serve for any commission their Gov
ernmcnt may send TO our second Centen-
NAL. France and Germany will not be
behind England In the magnificence of
their display or the expenditure of means
TO make it effective. Japan has fifteen of
her most skillful housewrights superintend-
ing gangs of American workmen in con-
structing japanese houses for their offices.
Thirty eight nations are to be there, each
at IFS own expense, and yet American
Ccngressmen will be found voting in favor
of excluding the American Government
from participating with those of every
otIer country in this grand Exposition
ON our own soil The country will doubt
the patriotism of such men, and the gran
gers, to propitiate whom demagogues
with hay seed in their hair will vote
araiust 1t, have rented two farms bound
ing the park, and are providing a supply
ofiruts TO accommodate individuals, groups
and families, will denounce the men whose
mean pretense of economy they will regard
as a disgrace to the farmers of the land.
They will class such Representatives with
the creature who availed himself of Mr..
Uogman's credulity to brand John Welsh
srd his associates on the board of finance

From the number of District bills intro
duccd into Congress the impression might
be created that the desires and necessities
of our peo,le are in no danger of being
neglected; hut in the light of past expert
ence it is safe to prophcsy that not one
third of them will be enacted into laws.
In fact, 1t seems to he habit of the aver
age geCongressmsn-striking the average in
the present HOuse-to introduce anybody s
bill for any purpose whatever without pre-
vious examination. The result is that the
committees are flooded with business, the
greater portion of which cannot possibly
receive requisite attention.

There Ia case of family fatality in Missouri

In jackson county, Tenn, an eK-rebei has
| just been convicted Of killing Union soldier
in 1865, and sentenced to ten years imprison-

A Georgia boy poisoned himself nearly to

The Kcrhouksonians of Ulster county, n ew
York, are fitting up canal boat in which TO
visit the Centennial Exhibition at Philadel-
phia next summer. 1t is to be modelled after
the famous barge of Cleopatra. and will be
decked with costly ornsmentations. An
awning is to be placed over the entire length,
beneath which the fair sons and daughters of
Kerhoukson will dance to the melodious
strains of bewitching music, lounge about the
deck and let the soft and gentle zephyrs of
adjoining mill-ponds fan their feIerish brows.
And now the Spanish diplomatic repre-
scntatiYcs are blaudly telling the various courts
Of Continental Europe that the Madrid Govern
meat will-just as soon as it has suppressed
the Carlists-send sufficient reinforcements to
Cuba TO quell the revolution. This sounds
very much like the thousand and one promises
Spain has made, and always broken, respect
ing the abolition Of slavery on the Island, the
cessation OF brutal outrage and other features
of uncivilized warfare which have existed there
for nearly eight years.
"When Mr.. Blaine objected to parloning
Mr.. Davis, no matter on what lying, false pre-
lenses he put the exception, the Southern
Democrats should have, without raising the

could and fastened the responsibility of re-
fusal to pardon Mr.. Davis on Mr.. Blaine and
his parity TirL$b'Ty Herald.
Well, as long as the Republican party took
the responsibility of preventing JEFF. Davis
from destroying the Union it will probably be

Jeff. Davis has been in town for a few days
past looking after the amnesty bill. 1t is said
that he stole quietly into the Senate gallery
and examined the Senator's seats below, and
after considerable difficulty selected the one
he thought he would like best when he comes
as a member from Mississippi.
The Democratic press is in Il most pitabe
stew over Mr.. Blaine's brilliant coup detut in
