CENTENNIAL FOLLY.
Tho decision of tho Board OF Centennial
Commissioners to close tho International
buildings and grounds on Sundays is grave
mistake, It is full of disastor to tho SUCCESS Of
tho exhibition, although it may be in pcefcct
consonanco with puritanical bigotry md
foily, It is beyond this an act Of fragrant
Injustice to thousands of pcop1e. Il Is an
act of ,ank discou,togy to Euro.eauo and to
Europcan.born residents of this country, to
invite them to this exhibition and then shut
its doors in their faces one lay in tho week,
without the grace to remit their cxpenscs for
that day, They thereby compel thousands
of pooplo to remuiu idlo ono div, with moth
ina to do mud no plnce to 60. and

still more m net Of discourtcsy that.

should bo made to force m observance Of

aspects, it is narrow-mindcd, bigotod, and

In a cursory alblsion to tho apparent difTi-
Guilty which tho United States authoritios arc
hnving to find just claimants for the ontiro
amount of damages allowed by the Geneva
award, tho London 1'ima says ingenuoualy
that =" no ono seems to havo suggested tho
simple plan Of ropaying it into our Il. e., the
Dritish] oxchequor." This would bo, as d
lnastcr Of fact, tho Unrest way Of disposing
Of amy surplus after a full and equitable dis
tribution Of tho funds among I'LL good olaim-
ants. It would be much better than to allow
it to the insurance companies, which dis
counted the risks thoy took by the
exorbitant premiums they demanded.
It might be said TINT any residne
after the payment Of individual claim
ants should be turned into tho United,
States Trcasury in partial compensa-
ton for tue damages tho Government re-
ceived from tho aid givon by Great Britain to
tho privateers, if it woro not that tho doc.
trino of consequential damages was fully con.
sidcrcd by tho GonoYa Court Of Arbitration,
and decided adversely. The United States Is
bound by tho verdict tof that Court as we'll nz
Great Britain. Tho return Of any surplus to
Grcat Britain would also do much to allay tho
bad feeling which the award loft among cor
tain classes in England; but wo very much

Claimnnt will scarcely permit tho establish

The Cincinnati Enquirer, a leading Demo-
cratic paper, said of Samuel J. ridden, be-
fore his nomination at st. Louis, for the
presidency, "There are 4 few facts concern
ing Sam. Tilden, which we trust will sink
into the minds of Western and Southern
Democrats. lst. He cannot carry his own
State in November. End. He cannot carry
any Northern State. Sd. He is hypocritc.
q political swindler, has long been a public
plunderer and is really the only disreputablc
candidate prominently named on the Demo-
cratic side" And again it said, SIT could
not but be that man educated in cunning
hypocrisy and iniquity, nominated in cor
rnption and shameless effrontery, even
though his millions could elect him, would
give us the most corrupt administration the
country has ever known. Neither imperial
dignities nor the gloom of solitude says
Tacitus, could save Tiberius from himself,
and Tilden could not rise above himself or
above the sources Of his power" Now this
same Democratic paper shouts for Tilden
and reform. The above is the calm and so
Der utterances OF the editor while surveyin o
the list of aspirants for the nomination and
his aim doubtless was to select man OF
purity and spotlessness Of character. and OF
availability sufficient to win in November.
How can Virginia Democrats support man
for the exalted position Of President with
the character delineated by one of their own
party and he a leading journalist and politi-
clan OF the great West, and as such presumed
to know the characters of the prominent
public men of his party. Echo, answers
how?

Business Depression.

In q speech OF EX-Gov. Seymour, of New
York, delivered al the city OF Utica in that
State on the 29th ult., he said that "Our
troubles spring, in great decree, from pub
lie rather than political Generalization. We
cannot get back our people upon higher
plane OF morals and habits by partisan abuse.
Reform must begin With each man in his
habits and those of his family. Political
parties must show their merits by fe.retting
out wrongs in their oscn ranks." Good adj
vice coming as it docs from such high demo-
cratic authority. 10 his last sentence we
cali the special attention of the Virginia
Democrats, and entreat them to take his ad-
vice. Reform is very much needed in Vir-
ginia, and as they alone have the power, it
would relieve u large number of sufferers to
be informed as to the broken banks. the
100000 school fund, and the affairs in the
basement OF the Capitol, at Richmond.

That Income Tax.

Governor Tilden's Secretary, whether att
thorized or not to speak for the Governor,
says: sit would be remembered that law
yer nigh. work a long time before he got
his fee, and Il conscientious man would, Of
course, consider the work he had Gone from
year to year as 4 case progressed and that
the fee, though received in one year, was
not his income for that year; it had been, in
fact, earned each year during the progress
Of the case-that was all there was about
it," Now, Mr.. Tilden being lawyer. knew
that the law required him to pay tax on all
the income received during the year 1862.
He made affidavit to the fact that he was
paid $4,000 by or on bcha of the second
mortgage bondholders on the 18th of Octo-
Der, ard that for 4 part of his services, A. G..
Flagg paid him s10,003 November 18th, 1862,
and for which he gave his receipts for both
these amounts, i'm which he acknowledged
that he had received $4,000. Now, what
difference did it make when the money was
earned, or whether earned at all, he received
it and it became part OF his income for
that year. He did not pay the tax OH it in
1861: because he did not receive it until 1862.
This must be the law, otherwise the tax
could be avoided entirely.

A New Trap for tie Unwary.

The business of the mock auctioneer has
assumed a new phase. His Old tricks have
grown stale. he has invented new one with
which make to victims of his customers. The
device is very simple but a very effective one.
The auctioneer collects q number of horses
of comparatively small value, and advertises
them as from the stables of some well known
horse fancicr recently dead or bankrupt.
He is aware Of the fact that the ordinary
buyer OF horses is usually more absolutely
Ignorant on the subject of horses than upon
any other under the sun. Better still for
his purpose, he knows that the ordinary buy
er fancics or prctends that there is nothing in
the world about which he is so well inform
ed. and that when he sees horse which he
believes was approved and owned by some
expert, he shuts his eyes to whatever evil
dence there may be of the animals decrepi-
tude, lest his ignorance Of s'hOrse points,
shall be made manifest by his doubts of the
approved animals excellence. He will look
the brute over, examine his teeth with
knowing look, without in the least Knowing
what their presence OR absence of condition
indicates, and then will bid for the animal
solely upon the strength of the auctioneer's
assurance that some Col. Pastern or General
Two-Twenty lately owned and priced him.
Whatever danger there may be of detection
has no terrors for the cunning auctioner,
who knows very we'll that his customers
vanity is his protec tion. The broken down
hacks that he sells for noble steeds come not
back to plague him, for their buyers have
pretended to buy upon their own pretended
Judgments, and they are not likely to make
the humilating confession that they have
been grossly deceived.
OF course the practice is simply one mode
of obtaining money under false pretences,
and respectable auctioneers have need to en-
force the law against it as matter of self
protection. If our police captains possessed
the zeal and capacity their positions demand,
they would not require the newspapers 20
call their attention to this class of swlndlers
before interfering, as one of them did in East
