Letter from the Centennial Exhibi-
ton.
Very respectfully yours,
SELDEN CONNOR

PHILADELPHIA Pa, July II. 1876
To the Editor of heaReJec Journal
The celebrations past the soldiers have de-
parted, Dom Pedro has gone to New York,
whence he will sail to. day for Europe, and things
are assuming their wonted order. The number of
visitors will average more than so 900, and the
financial success Of the exhibition seems to be
certainty. The commissioners at least do not
seem concerned for that, az is shown by their ac-
ton of last Saturday when they voted upon the
question of opening the doors on Sunday. If the
working men of the city and country were allow
ed to enter on Sunday the receipts would be great
ly increased. Bat the Puritanic blood which still
flows in this company of men asserts itself, and
they again voted by large majority to keep the
gates closed. This ends the much discussed ques-
tion and the newspapers are freely expressing
their Indignation.
Dom Pedro during his stay here has been sought
after by those who admire royalty in spite of their
republican principles. On the Fourth Of July a
crowd had assembled in front of hotel near In
dependence Square. l inquired the cause of it.
"Why" said one "ths is Dom Pedros carriage"
II proved to be an ordinary hack, hired by Dom
Pedro. The manner il which the Emperor has
studied the exhibition is worthy Of imitation.
Every morning even before the gates were opened
he might have been seen closely examining the
articles in the different departments. He never
took more than two or three countries at one
time.
Entering the Main Building fully prepared for
a hard days work, let us "see what we can see.'
If we look in at the West door in the nave, we
behold extending far away in the distance, for
more than mile, a brilliant and dazzling display
Of articles rich and costly, antique and modern,
tastefully arranged and presenting to the eye a
scene as enchanting as could be imagined to ex-
ist in Aladdin's palace. The first countries visit
ed are the Argentine Confederation, Chill, Peru,
Italy, Japan, China, Norway and Sweden. In the
first three we find ores Of gold and silver, copper
and tin, marble, feathers and manufactured
goods Italy presents rich assortment of wines,
yelvets silks corals, cameoes, mosacs and Jewels.
| China's exhibit is almost entirely of ornamental
goods. A single bedstead is valued at $4,000 on
account Of the carvings and canopy. Here are
the wonderful Chinese lanterns, manufactures in
bronze and lacquer work and carvings in ivory and
ebony No exhibit is made of warlike parapher-
MALTA.
Japan far excels China, her people are more
agreeable and intelligent, are more readily adopt

We publish in full the official report Of
the Attorney General of South Carolina in
relation to the Hamburg massacre. 1t
corroborates the statements previously
made of the barbarous, wanton, cowardly,
numbering of the negroes. Yet in spite
OF such authoritative evidence of the hor-
rible character of the affair, the leaders of
the democratic party in Congress and out

to characterize it in c ,ngress as it de-
serves, but neither he nor any other ex-
Confederate will raise 4 hand to bring the
murderers to justice.

Governor Connor's letter accepting the
denomination rendered him by the repub-
lican State Convention, is II straightfor-

Col Ingersol of Illinois has been inter-
viewed in New York by a reporter of the
Tribune. He takes a hopeful view of the
political situation, speaking well of Gov

He says the republicans will have to work
harder in Illinois than if Blaine had been
nominated, but regards the State sure to
give Hayes good majority.

~ The New York World, re-
ferring to the late Indiana editorial
pilgrimage East, has this to say Of
that class Of 'dead BEATS" who beg
their way over the county, at the
expense of railroad companies,
steamboat captains, hotel proprie-
tors-and their own manhood:
Editors who have aught
to do with papers, and especially
with country papers, have not the
time to spare for these quarterly
junketings, and their sense of self
respect is not SO dead that they care
to advertise themselves all over the
country as ''free" men in all senses
but the right one.

consequence to the Cincinnati NOM

Southern electoral votes will be

they could contribute to the election
of the candidates whose nomination
they may control.-iN. Y. Herald.

When Senator Morton completes
his speech Senator Alcorn will make
a statement of the situation of at
fairs in Mississippi, and will show
the Senate that Mr.. Morton has al
lowed himself to be made the victim
of a huge hoax by set of unscrupu-
lous politicians. There are some
evidences Of this fact here already.
For instance, Governor Ames, who
pretends to be the true and only
friend of the abused negro, approved
q bill passed by a republican Legis-
lature entirely under his control,
under which the Governor is allow
ed to take the negro convicts from
the State Prison and bind them out
as plantation laborers, and under
this law he gave the contract for
thus reducing these unfortunate
blacks to slavery to a favorite of
his, o. @. French, who sub-lets it
and farms out this negro labor to
the planters. This practice is SO
mischievOus that previous to Ames'
administration some such contracts,
which had been made under military
authority, were annuled. Ames
made this o. q. French Commission
er to the Centennial Exhibition, and
he has been here deceiving Senator
Morton into the believe that Gov
ernor Ames is the especial friend Of
the blacks. French, who is, under
Ames, the means OF reducing u large
number ofnegroes to virtual slavery,
came here rs member for Mississippi
