Ex.Secretary M'CullOch's Pledge OF
his Private Fortune.

A telegram from Fort Wayne, Ind, to
the Chicago Tribune gives the following as
the substance Of statement made on the
21st inst, by Mr.. Charles McCulloch, of
Fort Wayne, son of ex-Secretary McCul-
loch "When the house of Jay Cooke u
Co. failed the London firm of Jay Cooke,
McCullsch Il Co., owed the government
about 81 100000. After the failure credi-
tors began focking in with claims, and a
legal sQuabhle ensued as to whether the
government or privare creditors had a prior
claim on the assets Of the firm. The Su-
preme Court decided in favor of the gov
ernment about three weeks since. When
the failure took place III 1873, Mr.. McCul-
loch was on the way to this country. When
he reached New York he was informed Of
the failure, and at once turned over to the
government all the accounts Of his London
firm against Jay Cooke n Co., also large
amount of railroad iron purchased by them
in London for the American market, and
also gave pledge Of his entire personal
estate to secure the Government. Mr..
McCulloch claims, however, that the
amount derived under the decree of the
Supreme Court from the estates of Jay
Cooke & Co., and from the sale of the rail
road iron above mentioned, will entirely
reimburse the government for its losses by
Jay Cooke, McCulloch e. Co., and tina,
there will be no necessity for his father te
surrender his personal estate"

Two hundred packages of the exhibits
from New South Wales, the first British
colony planted in Australia, have arrived
at the Centennial grounds. The colony has
aimed chiefly on the exhibition of her raw
productions, rather than of her maDufac-
tured articles. The coal fields of New South
Wales are larger than those of England,
France and Spain put together. The people
Of Pennsylvania will especially be interested
in the specimens of copper, coal, iron tin
and other minerals which have been sent
from the antipodes.

DISTlNGUlSHED VISITORS.

The Emperor Of Brazil will sail in few
days from Rio Janeiro in a BRAZILIAN
man-of-war for New York. The Emps
ror is one of the most distinguished Of liv-
ing monarchs, not only because of his an
cestry, which is Of the highest, but from his
patriotism and personal character. He is
one of the most industrious students and
among the most advanced thinkers ofmod-
ern times He Genes from a sister Amer
ican nation in whose fortunes we have al
ways felt profound and friendly interest.
No European country has shown so
much interest in the Centennial as Sweed-
en-. We have large number Of Swedes
in this country, and no people have
adopted themselves so readily to the high
er and finer duties ofcithenship. America
owes a great deal to the Scandinavian
character in building up her states and
territories and visit from the son of the
King of Sweden and Norway, who is
coming, will ne particularly gratifying.
Its not probable that we will have an
overflow of distinguished foreign visitors
to our Centennial All the world "and
the rest of mankind" will not be rushing
here to see our show as many of our en-
thusiastic people seem to think. There
will be no general coming Of the people
of foreign lands more than the commercial
travellers who will come here with their
wares. So far as foreign visitors are con-
cerned, the more who come the e'ter, and
the more opportunity we shall have to
honor them as the representatives Of ma
tions with whom we are on terms of peace,
and whose presence will be gracious cour-
tesy which we will be happy to acknowl-
edge; but the real value to the Centennial
will be an American show for American

WHY not insist on Secretary Robeson
giving full and complete answers to the
questions propounded to him. He has ans
wered some questions propounded by the
Real Estate Pool Committee, but has not
answered them fully and satisfactorily, and
if this high official dignitary refuses 10 fur
nish the required information he should be
imprisoned. He was once GOOD company
for Hallett kilbourne, and he will be equal
ly good company for him now. Mr.. Robe
son should be made to tell what became of
the money deposited with the then failing
firm Of Jay Cooke, Mccullough g. Co, of
London, and what was done with the secur-
tiles accepted for said deposits, and what
kind Of security they were. Let the Resl
Estate Pool Committee compel Mr.. Robe
son to answer fully and satisfactory each
and every one Of the questions propeunded

From the st. Paul Pioneer.]
Several little collisions took place yester-
day between Senators Yale and Donnelly.
When the wheat grading bill was on it's IL
nal passage Mr.. Yale made a speech against
it on the grounds of economy and the neces-
sity of reform among other things. Mr..
Donnelly replied in an extremely severe,
sarcastic and rather personal manner.
subsequently Mr.. Yale alluded to Mr..
Donnellyas "my fat little friend, the Senator
from Dakota" !" which produced laugh.
Mr.. Donnelly jumped to his feet.
Mr.. Yale with a Colfaxian smile)-'1

Mr.. Donnelly-"I merely wish to inquire
whetherit is not better to be fat in the body
than fat in the wits 7" Laughter]
Mr.. Yale-"As my dropsical little friend
is extremely unctuous in both respects, ht
ought to be the best judge" Renewed
Laughter
At another stage Of the afternoon dcbat,
Mr.. Yale threw this little quotation a
Mr. Donnelly, which also brought down
laugh:
"As witty as Horatius Flaccus,
AS great n Jacobin as Gracious,
AS short and quite as fat as Bacchus,
AS stubborn as n little jackass.'

WHAT has become of the bill protecting
witnesses who give testimony before the
Congressional committees! Such law is
at this time imperatively demanded. I'm.
less it does become law there is scarcely a
possibility of convicting the scores of
thieves connected with the "crookedness"
Of Grants administration. Corruption and
venalty have been rcigning supreme in all
departments at Washington. The atmos-
phere ofthe Government is so polluted, that
it is impossible to say which of its officials
has not been tainted.

NOT ALL HAPPY.

Our Republican brethren of New York,
at least large portion of them. are not ut
all happy over the result of the Syracuse
Convention. The Union League Repub
licans are displeased at what they call the
of-hand, if not oyerbearing way, in which
Mr.. Conklings friends manipulated the
Convention. Mr.. Conkling and his
friends will have to adopt some plan OF
conciliating Mr.. Curtis and his friends.
Mr. Curtis was the spokesman of the
Leaguers in.the Convention, and no man
in the world has done more for Grantism
than he has. For seven years he has
stood by the administration, extenuating
every blunder and knavery, and he and
his friends think that the manner in which
Mr.; Conkllng and his friends manipulated
the Convention was an insult to them and
their sense Of fair play. The Union
League Club has always been a strong
pillar Of the Republican party in New
York city, and in the State: and it cannot
be dispensed with under any circum.
stances, 30 the policy of Mr.. Conkling and
his friends will doubtless be to conciiate
as much as possible, and may give to Mr.
Curtis the Congressional nomination
Mr.. Curtis and his friends say that wha
they desired, and what the interests of the
party demand, was an uninstructed and
nnpledged delegation to the National Con
vention, and complain that the delegate
are placed in the condition Of men who are

CONGRESS has commenced tinkering with
the tariff, something it had better let alone
We suppose political necessities of an ac-
tive Presidential campaign will have much
to do with moulding Congressional action,
and in deciding whether there shall be large
changes, petty changes or no changes at
all. The country at this time does not
want the tariff tinkered at, simply for the
sake of doing something in That line.

WILMINGTON, MARCH 25, 1876.
REPURLICAN AsPlKANTS.

This centennial year can fairly lay
claim to more stars admittedly Of Presi'
dental magnitude than any previous years
since the Declaration of Independence
There are thirteen Republican stars OF
great Presidential aspirations. These are
Bristow, Evarts, Hays, Washburn, Conk-
ling, Blaine, Morton, Morgan, Jay, Fish
Jewell, Frelinghuysen and Grant. OF
these candidates, Conkling is now in the
field with all the powers and majesty Of
the Empire State behind him and if to this
may be added the deciding voice of Gen
eral Grant, there is a fair chance that the
momentum of his support will make Mr..
Conkling the candidate of the National
Republican Convention. Mr.. Morgan
whose candidacy would be eminentlv re-
spectful from every point Of view, seems
without the positive force to come out Of
the shadow from which he is thrown, from
the fact that he is from the same State
with Mr.. Cenkling. Mr.. Blaine has ex-
hibited an utter want Of politician wisdom
and has become distinguished as a man
who deems no wire too contemplate to be
pulled in his own interest. Many Of these
candidates have merely local fame. A
few of them could in certain contingencies
be designated by the President in office As
his chosen successor, and their nomination
by the Convention would be regarded as an
endorsement Of the past course Of the ad-
ministratiou, and for this reason be sought
and pressed before the Convention with all
the power that the official world could
bring to bear.
OF all the above-named Republican
Presidential aspirants, some of whom are
candidates ssof their own selection, some
noisily pressed by a class of men unpleas-
antly known to fame as working politicians,
al d others hoped for by all who desire to
see purity and capacity in office. Among
the latter class is Mr.. Brisow, of Ken
lucky, man who has moro honesty and
purity Of character than the Others, who is
regarded as the embodiment Of reform, but
whose real value can only be considered
at a later period, after knowing what
Grant is going to do. Mr.. Morton has
been the subservient to.l of every bad
policy that has been labelled with his
party's name
1t sometimes happens that conventions
have to take men whom they do not like
in order to keep the people from gong
ever to the enemy, and with such a view
the delegates at Cincinnati may take
kindly to any candidate so related to The
administration that his nomination woulc
seem to commit the party at this critica
moment to an endorsement Of the kind 0
government that has brought the countr,
to its present condition. If the Cincinnati
Convention r,av have a wholesome low
for just administration and regard fo
the opinions Of the people, it will nominal
Mr.. Bristow, who is clear headed, calm
upright man, whose fame is clear Of ever
reproach, and which has that sterlin
quality that enables it to stand inves,iga
tion. From this constellation of Repul
lican star candidates, who will be the luck
star?
