The Resolutions not Received.

New York, Oct. 2O.-A Washington
dispatch says the presentation of the ad-
dress from Ireland to President Grant,
through Messrs. OConner, Power and
Parneil. members of parliament, has been
deferred. Power and Parnell have been
informed that, according to etiquette, the
resolutions will have to come through the
British minister here aud the state
department to the president. An OBJ
stacle has been found to success OF
first step in the wording of certain parts
of the resolution; one part cites that hav

tyranny the Irish people make their greet

etc. This cannot, it is contended. be
passed by without an act of disrespect or

magnificent evidences of art and taste, ap

Centennial Items.

As compared with other Internation-
al ExpoSitions, that of Philadelphia is,
in many points. superior to all thai
have prt cteded it. 1t lacks the COM
pact arrangement and general brillian-
cy of Paris, and i, of course, inferior in
matter oi fine arts and in Oriental pro-
ductioaS to that of Vienna. In the dis
play of machinery it is incomparably
ahead of anything the world has ever
seen, and the Department of General
Manufacturing has never been equaled.
AS an exhibition of what the Western
world has dom, in all branches of hu-
man pursuit, and Il means of accompanying
their progress with the East, it is. Of
course, unapproached, and that is un-
questionatly its chief excellence. The
representation Of the nations of the
world is complete with the exception
of Greece, and a few of the South
American Republics. The space COW
cred by the Exposition exceeds fiat of
any previous ohe-236 acres is the total.
1t costs fifty cents to get into the
show, the ".assengaire" putting his
money into the box, and passing
through a stile which registers him as
carefully as the bell-puncE. After you
get in there are no other fees, except
such on side expenses as one may see
fit to incur. Six hundred policemen
are at hand for your protection, and a
full fire department ready for business.

TIE most disgraceful contest for
United States Senatorship ever wit
messed in this country, was brought to
a close in Connecticut on Wednesday
by the nomination of Congressman
Barnum over Senator English. Both
of these Democratic candidates were
millionaires, and both had bought the
office, and paid for it, and were des-
perately in earnest to get it. The
friends of English boasted that he had
given to the party 81 800 this year,
giving first $4,000 and then $4,000 for
State distribution, besides 81 800 for ex-
elusive use by the local committee in
New Haven. Barnum's friends retort-
ed by claiming that he had almost
double discounted" English every
year, and that to him more than to any
other man was the late uprising of the
Democracy in that State due. Neither
candidate had amy d,reut qualifications
for the position, and the State has been
disgraced by their ferociOuS fight. The
New York Times said, on the day on
which The nomination was made:
From the time these two men came
into prominence the Democratic party
of Connecticut has depended upon
money-bags for success, and when it is
considered how well the party organi
zation was maintained in spite of the
dIsad vantageS OF its position during
the war, its present control Of all the
State departments is not to be wonder
ed at. Fortified during the last few
years with an abundance of purchasing
material, while the Republicans have
hardly been able to raise money enough
to pay ordinary campaign expenses,
the party has bought its way to power,
and now comes the question of reward
ing the Observation-Disclosures and Bar
mum. The opportunity of making a
return for faVOrs received has arrived
in the necessity of selecting candidate
| for United States Senator, and these
| two men are now before the Democrat
ic members of the Legislature, each
claiming the prize as compensation
for supplying ii corruption fund to car
ry the State in the interest of true re-
form. The partisans OF both base their
appeals for support wholly on the mon-
ey issue. No other candidates are
even thought OF. Men of ability and
high character like Governor Ingersoll,
Hon. Richard D. Hubbard, Hon. Ed
ward w. Seymour, and Others who
might be named, are out of the ques-
tion. Never has there been such an
open confession of dependence upon
the money power as this contest re-
veals, and disgrace full confession it is.
The party that makes it shows its utter
unwOrthinesS of the respect of honest
men, and betrays the shallowness of its
own pretenses to be a party of reform.
Neither Barnum nor English is iii
man to hold seat in the Senate of the
United States, if judged by the stand.

THE Lntelligencer of Saturday, speak
ing of Narrow Gauge railroads, con.
tains the following, which we hope
will have tendency to stir up some OF
our farmers aud citizens:
The various narrow gauge projects of
this region, of which We have heard h
good deal, are not materialiZing as rap
idly as their friends could desire.
Most of them exhibit more or less life,
and few of them are really dead pro-
jects, but they nearly all drag a good
deal, and the sources ofanXiety to those
specially interested in their fate. For
instance, there is the BeAaire d Woods
field road-which has been talked
about so much. 1t is not yet located,
and the latest news is that the route via
McMahon's Creek has been abandoned
and the one by Wegee substituted for
it. And yet more money is wanted
for the Wegee route, and must be had
too, before it can be considered "a fact
accomplished" even on paper.
Next comes the st. Clairsville &
Neff's Siding project-only six miles
and half long-which would cost,
when equipped, only $40, 900, and yet il
is in diScouraging position. And this,
too, Notwithstanding its initial point is
an old and wealthy community, where
they have been talking railroads since
the Purcell survey of 1887, and not
-withstanding, too, and talk that has
been heard about removing the county
seat to some point accessible by rail-
roads. The last account as to prospects
is not wholly encouraging. The st.
Clairsville Chronicle is induced to re-
mark that ''dnless the people who are
to be benefited by this road, and who
are amply able to spare the means to
place it under contract, come up to its
help with larger subscriptions and
more earnest work, the project will
fail"
This is matter that should be look
ed into at as early date as possible.
