THURSDAY, MAY is, 1875.

Ragp Governor Hartranft, for his veto OF
sided committee of the House, appointed
last winter to investigate the Treasury
Department, deserves the thanks of every tax
payer in the State. For its own sake the bill
should have been vetoed, for it was neither
more nor less than scheme to manufacture
political capital to be employed in assisting
Democracy to retain its hold in the House,
and to increase its powers by furnishing aid
for other and still more important successes.
But, as the Governor shows, the committee
was an illegal creation, indirect violation Of
the constitution, and his duty to veto was
imperative For this reason, to have signed
the bill would have been counivance at
Treasury robbery, which the Governor is
determined, as he always has been, not to
have pinned to his skirts. Governor Hart
ranft has always, heretofore, been held to be
among the opponents Of the new constitution.
This act of his, however, with many others
which have preceded it, shows that if thus
opposed to it, the fundamental law of the
State will not lack brave and uncompromis
ing champion Of its requirements SO long as
he remains in Office. 1t is enough for the
Governor to know that we have fundamen-
tai law, to ensure his careful carrying out of
It's provisions His conduct, therefore, in
the instance of this veto, will meet the un-
qualified approval of every lover of law in the
State. The Democratic leaders and presses
do not, of course approve the course of the
Governor, which it was natural to expect,
and which, therefore, causes no surprise in
constitution loving and law abiding circles.

At the Centennial opening day the 10th
inst, there were in attendance 76, 1873 paying
visitors, besides host of invited guests.
On Saturday last the 18th inst, there were
10000 paying visitors in attendance. Con-
sidering the fact that the exposition is yet
considerably short of a full array, the above
attendance may be regarded as Indicating
success to the grand Enterprise.

The Centennial.

| Wednesday marked an important epoch,
in the opening of the World Fair, gotten up
in commemoration ofthe hundredth annver-
sary Of our National independence. 1t is
estimated that over one hundred thousand
strangers, representing nearly every known
quarter Of the globe, were present in Phila-
lphia and took part in the ceremonies,
either as participants or spectators. The
whole affair-procession, Inauguration cere-
monies, lockers on, the grounds, the eXhibi-
ton buildings and the matters exhibited, -
formed grand pageant such as the world
never witnessed before. Men used to great
scenes-men experienced in journalism, and
possessed of most forid descriptive powers,
and men staid and sober in their lives, walk
and conversation, unite in prOnouncing the
affair grand beyond the power of words to
describe. In extent, variety, and success,
all agree that this effort of the new world to
commemorate the Centennial of its existence.
and to bring together in one common exhibi-
ton the productive skill of the world, in
science, in refined and mechanic arts, in
general handiwork and in the promotion ola
glorious liberty, exceeds by far everything Of
like character heretofore attempted. The
incidents Of the affair too, are something
marvellous, the uniting in a common object
the rulers and subjects and skill of despotism,
with the people, the servants and the handi-
work of free men in celebrating the Centen-
NAL of nation built up with liberty as the
foundation and the protection of the best
interests Of its subjects as its chief corner
stone. Despotic Egypt, the so called Oldest
nation, Turkey and China vie with the more
liberal States Of Europe in making the cele-
bration of the Centennial Of American liberty
in the younger nation a success. The
thought may possibly be grasped, but the
full measure Of its significance is wholly be-
yond human comprehension. 1t is not pre-
tended that the exhibition is complete as vet.
but enough has been complishcl to force
from the lips Of all beholders the startling
enunclation--' 'prodidgious." The busy
hum of preparation still resounds through
out the grounds and buildings, and a month
or six weeks must yet elapse ere the master
spirits in charge of the work will pronounce
all complete; and yet in its unfinished state
the experienced exhibitors Of England,
France and Austria are constrained to pro-
nounce ours marvel of wonder when compar-
ing it to the old world. About the middle of
June or the first of July the full perfection
Of our effort will appear, when we would
advise all who can, by any possibility, to
visit Philadelphia and its worlds fair, where
days and weeks and even months may be
proftably spent without more than half
exhaustIng the facilities for sight seeing.

Decoration Day.

Two weeks from Tuesday, the 30th OF
May, is the day set apart for the decoration
of the graves of the soldiers who served in
the late war. This memorial service has
been observed in our own community with
some degree of interest from year to year,
and it is desired that upon this Centennial
year, especially, the occasion shall be one of
interest To this end the surviving members
of the Grand Army of the Republic have
already advanced measurers whereby the
interest of all may be secured, and meet
ING of all those who were enlisted in the
army or navy, in company with their wives
and lady friends will be held in parlor No.
l, at the Burnett House, on Saturday even
ing, May Goth, at u o'clock. The hearty
cooperation of the ladies is earnestly solici-
ted, and it is expected that the spirit of en-
terprise will be manifested in large attend
ance at the Burnett House.
The Beethoven and Stroudsburg Cornet
Bands are expected to participate in the
ceremonies.
Invitations are hereby extended to the
several clergymen of Stroudsburg and East
Stroudsburg; the churches and Sunday
school organizations the several lodges, the
fire department and to the citizens general
ly, to participate in the decoration cere-
monies on the Both.
A collation. will be given on the even
ing of the Both, to the surviving soldiers
and their ladies, the object Of which is the
strengthining tie of friendship, and bringing
into closer union the soldiers association
that we may be better fitted for activity.
1t is beftting that we should hold sacred
the memory of our dead comrades and a
nations sacrificed heroes. But few years
ago they left their homes and went forth
to battle for nations rights, with hearts
as light as we. The loving kiss was i'm
pressed upon the brow of the fond wife,
the loving mother and sister, and to the
lips of the darling, pratting infants and
went forth to meet destiny. That destiny
was the maintenance of nations rights,
the perpetuity of our glorious independence;
an independence whose Centennial anniver-
sary we would not this year have celebrated
but for them. That destiny has called US
together, and while we are called upon to
mourn their loss, we can but strew their
SIdHCo Will liHIHS HONCIS, III CoHIHleilOId-
ton Of the fact that their memory still lives
in a nations glory. Let these facts fill
every throbbing breast with sympathetic
feelings, and fire every heart with the
warmth of patriotism and as the Both of
May has been made a national holiday, we
earnestly request that all business places be
closed on that day from one o'clock till six
o'clock,
Donations of flowers and evergreens are
earnestly solicited. VIII not our young
ladies display their handy work by the
