the lower end of the building were kept
closed, and 40 one was allowed to leave
until the procession should have passed
out. Consequently there was an i'm
mense jam of people in that vicinity.
Hats were crushed and coats torn in the
universal struggle for exit.
Passing on to Machinery hall the
President set the Corliss engine in mo-
ton, and from there the company pro-
ceeded to the Judges hall, where the
Presidents reception was held. After
the opening ceremonies ended the i'm
mense multitude thronged through the
grounds and buildings and gave itself
up to sightseeing and accompanying
amusements.
During the afternoon the crowd re-
manned on the grounds and the avenues,
and filing the restaurants. At about 4
o'clock the sky, which had been gradu
ally growing cloudy, began to pay its
tribute of baptism to the opening cere-
monies. There was grand rush for the

gantic scale. Newspapers and pro-
grammes were used as sunshades to
such an extent as TO produce curious
effect. Every spot available for sitting
or standing was occupied up to the very
roof of the main building.
There was plenty of conversation
among the people on the platform, and
there was conversation and patient wait
ing among the many thousands that
looked on from below and around. The
national airs by the orchestra formed q
pleasing amusement, and served to oc-
cupy the time until the arrival of the
President, which was, of course, the
occasion of much and prolonged cheer
ing.
Bishop Simpsons prayer was given in
loud and distinct voice, and SO was the
address of Gen. Hawley.
Mr.. Welch was not master of the situa-
ton, and could not be heard very far,
and the voice of the President, who was

business. Good judges have estimated
that nearly 10000 people were In and
around the Centennial grounds to-day.
The rain lett much mud on the new
streets around the grounds, SO that the
soldiers and other pedestrians had a
very hard time of it in the last part of
their journey. At the gates there was a
wild confusion of vehicles, and it is
surprising that nobody was killed.
Soon after 9 the invited guests began
to arrive, and before 10 o'clock the
platform was full. Rarely has there
been in America such an array OF heavy
swells where the public could look at
them as there was to-day. The holding
capacity of the platform had been over
estimated, SO that it was a crush there
as everywhere else. Secretary Fish
elbowed the Austrian Minister, and
Gen. Sheridan stepped on the toe OF
the Turkish Ambassador. Judge Pierre
pont shared a chair with the French
Minister, and there was whole row OF
Presidential candidates on single set
tee. There were officials enough to
stock half q dozen governments hber-
ally and then have fifteen present to
spare.
The crowd increased rapidly, and by
10 o'clock there were. several acres of
occupied clothing of both sexes. The
sky was clear and the heat of the sun
became uncomfortable: those who came
prepared for rain found their umbrel-
las useful to spread against the heat, so
that, in a little while, the spectacle pre-
sented was that of a sea Of upturned
umbrellas, or mushroom yard on 81

work, with lath and rough-cast plaster
between, the base being of red brick,
COPIED with stone. The roof of the prin-
cipal building is covered with plain red
tiles, with tile ridging, hips and finals,
while that Of the adjoining ones is sur
mounted by stacks of tall red brick Chin
neys. The windows are glazed with
small panes of glass set in lead, the open
easements being of wrought iron. The
interiors are finished in paneling (sados,
and the walls above hung with English
paper. The furniture throughout will
be in keeping with the antique in the
construction of the building style
adopted. The largest building, which
covers an area Of about 5000 superficial
feet, will be for the use of the British
Commissioners, and the Commissioners
from Canada and the various English
colonies. The smaller ones, which have
an area of about 1000 feet each, will be
used, one as the residence of the staff of
the British portions of the Exhibition,

President, the signal was given by Gen.
Hawley, and Immediately the great flag
over the center of the main building was
unfurled, the first gun was fred, and the
choir burst forth with the " Hallelujah
chorus" Its notes were drowned by the
cheers that went up from hundred
thousand Threats. Hats were flung In
the air and handkerchiefs waved. Dur
ing the singing the Foreign Commits
sioners fled off from the platform to the
main building and took up their posi-
lions III front of the various departments
which they represented.
The procession then formed, headed
by platoon of Centennial Guards. The
President was accompanied by Director
General Goshorn, and Immediately fol
lowing them were the Brazilian celebri-
ties. The other officials came after them
in the order of their rank, and, passing
down the middle aisle, frequent pauses

gsltes, and carriages, street-cars, wagons,
and every kind of vehicle were taken
possession of by the multitude in order
to escape the deluge.
Then it was found how inadequate
were the expectation facilities. Not a
tenth part of the people could be accom-
modated. The street-cars were jammed
and clogged. Men and women fed for
refuge to the hotels in the vicinity and
filed them. The restaurants were
crowded. In the streets there was one
black mass of wet humanity hurrying
and tunnbling over one another, franti-
cally endeavoring to secure shelter.
Until long after dark the ti2e continued
to surge out from the grounds toward

THE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION.

There is no apparent change in the
the Presidential situation. Tildens
unbroken column of seventeen States,
with 1874 electoral votes and a popular
majority of several hundred thousand,
confronts the Republicans, who now
hope by the assistance of the Returning
Boards of Louisiana. South Carolina
and Florida to subvert the will of the
majority, and give Hayes majority of
one in the Electoral College. tits l.
noticeable feature in the dispatches
that the news from these States. as
strained through the prejudiees of the
New York Times and other Republi-
can journals, and sent to the Pacific
Coast, invariably claim them as Repub-
lican, without giving any figures on
which to base those claims. while the
dispatches direct from persons in the
States give the figures for Democratic
maiorities. Col. Broadhead, who, as
Special United States Attorney, assisted
Gen. Dyer in prosecuting the st. Louis
whisky thieves. telegraphs that Louis
lana is unquestionably Democratic by
5000 majority. but it is evident the in
famous returning boards will reverse
this by throwing out parishes, and
give the State to the Republicans.
Conservative men of both parties, such
as Trumbull and Palmer of Illinois,
and Evarts of New York, are in the
South, to be present at the canvass of
the votes. The people have confidence
in their ability to ascertain the popular
verdict in the disputed States, and
nothing less than their report will sat
isfy the public,as unfortunately neither
Democrats nor Republicans have faith
in the powers that be 10 those States.

FACTS VS.. ASSERTIONS.

The Legislature of Alabama con-
vened yesterday, and the message of
Governor Houston was read in both
Houses. A few years ago Alabama
was, as Louisiana and South Carolina
are now, completely under the control
of the carpet baggers. The State was
heavily involved by those model off,
Gals, and its obligations went begging
Cor purchasers at ruinous discount.
Two years ago it was redeemed from
carpst-bag thraldom, and citizens inter-
ested in its welfare were chosen to
manage its affairs. It's bonds, which
sold at from 60 to 70 cents on the
dollar in 1874, now command 92 to SO
cents. This simple fact speaks vol
umes against Radical misrule
in the South. and proves that the
Southern States, which have been re-
lieved from the CALLING yoke of Grant
ism are rapidly recuperating from the
effects of the rebellion, while Louisi-
ana and South Carolina are in as bad
condition socially and financially as
when Lee surrendered. In the South
ern States now cnder Democratic Gov
eminent outrages are unheard Of. the
whites and blacks are protected in
their rights, taxation has been reduced,
and the obligations of the State COM
mand from 20 to 80 per cent. more than
when carpet bag ofieeseekers were en-.
rendering strife and discord between
the races. The fact that Georgia, Ala
bama, Arkansas, and Mississippi have
been quiet and prosperous since the
people we're permitted to manage their
own affairs disprove the campaign

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The question of calling a Constitu-
tional Convention to revise and amend
the Constitution of the State, was sub
mitted to the people at the last cleo
ton. Whether it was carried by q ma
iority of the votes polled, is yet unde-
ciGed. In Storey county the majority
for the convention was equal to that of
the Republican Presidential electors.
The Republicans, Throughout the State,
appeared to favor it. In this county
the vote for aud against the PROPOSE
ton was, so far as we can ascertain,
about the same as that received by the
Republican and Democratic electors,
respectively. This would leave a ma
jority of at least of 125 against the con-
vention in Humboldt; but, as the State
IS Republican. the proposition probably
carried. A Constitutional Convention
in Nevada is not necessary, and the
people will! find it an expensive luxury.
1t is safe to assert that it will cost the
State $3.50, 900, and in what way the
people will be benefited by it has not
been made apparent.
