The Centenni.rs Last Days.

The Exhibition at Philadelphia is in ita
Inconsistencies as well as its intent com.
pendulum Of the United States. It is big,
bigger than anything Of the kind ever held
in Europe; it's points of interest are fai
apart, hike our great cities it is immense in
the aggregate, but poorly digested in ar-
rangement; it has intelligence throbbing in
every part of it, but in separated nerves
rather than in ganglion. 1t i'm
presses the man who traverses its
walks and aisles at the soles of the
feet as we'll as the brain. We may say, too,
it has proved a success, and that covers q
good deal of shortcomings. The Ex.
hibition is approaching an end now,
and its attractiveness is proved by
the fact that the attendance has in
creased and averages little short OF one
hundred thousand day. Next Friday is set
down for the closing day, and it is safe to as
sumo that all efforts to keep it open as a ma
tional attraction any longer will fail.
So many thousands of the exhibitors
have made arrangements to remove
their goods after the 10th inst that
it would be almost impossible to keep any
thing like sufficiency of them together to
prolong the Exhibition as it is Those who
make up the rush to see the great fair now
are going because certain day is fixed for
the closing. The people who put things of
to the last moment would wait another week
if the date of closing was q week later. Our
Philadelphia correspondence gives some
humorous points of the attendance during
these finishing up days of the great fair.

Excitement In Georgi..

A HERALD correspondents telegraphs from
Atlanta that a letter of United States Mar
shal Smyth to the city authorities, telling
them what he means to do in relation to the
coming election, creates good deal of ex-
citement. Georgia chose State officers some
weeks ago. On Tuesday her people vote
only for members Of Congress and Presiden-
tial electors. Under these circumstances
Marshal Smyth has appointed deputy mar
and other cities, acting under the law OF
Congress which requires marshals to do this
on the request of citizens. He notifies the
municipal authorities that the help of the
local police is not needed and their inter.
ference not desired. He is acting under Sec
ton 2,022 Of the Revised Statutes, which
makes it the duty of deputy marshals to keep
order at the polls, and gives them authority
to make summary arrests for offences com.
mitted in their presence
United States Marshal Smyth is care.
full and thoroughly honest officer, who will
poses. We are glad to notice in our de-
spatches that the city authorities of Atlanta,
while apparently undecided as to the an.
swer they shall make to Colonel Smyth, are
determined that there shall be no collision
between him and themselves. We have
similar reports from South Carolina and
Louisiana, where the whites, though greatly
excited with the hope Of freeing themselves
from the rule of men who have shamefully
abused their powers, are determined to SUBJ
nit to arrests and all other annoyances by
their opponents and maintain absolute
peace and order. 1t is very important that
they should do this.

good set of city officers. That it will be
done only by small part Of the voters
ought not to discourage these or make them
less vigilant. If but one citizen had the
honesty and courage to scratch the bad
names from the ticket he votes, his single
protest thus recorded against bad govern
ment would be valuable and important, and
his example would find imitators in subse-
quent elections. The aim of political par
tisans is, of course, to carry their whole
ticket, no matter.what bad men are on it.
The aim of the voter, especially in city poll
ties, ought to be to secure the election of the
best men only, entirely regardless of general
politics. What difference does it make
whether a Surrogate or Coroner or Mayor of
New York is democrat or republican? But
it is of the utmost Importance that these and
all the other city officers should be able and
honest men.

Close OF the Sporting Season.

With the extra races at Jerome Park yes
terday, and the polo match which followed
them, the sporting season for 1876 may be
said to have virtually closed. As We look
back over the history of the year we cannot
fail to recognize the season as one of extraor-
dinary brilliancy The turf showed not
only signs of growth, but gave promise of
still greater popularity and permanence.
In the South there was something like a
revival Of the old-fashioned sporting habits
of the people. At Washington, Baltimore,
Long Branch and Saratoga the meetings
were unusually good. The races at Jerome
Park were even more brilliant than usual,
and the extra race day yesterday closed and
celebrated the first decade in the history of
the American Jockey Club in way worthy
Of an occasion so important. The new game
Of polo also made great strides in popular
favor during the year, and as it becomes
better known is sachieving a popularity second
to no attraction on the sporting calendar. 1t
will be seen from our news reports that the
match yesterday excited as much interest
MS the splendid racing even. These events
are fitting close to the sports Of as great
year rs the American Centennial, when the
skill Of all the world came here to contend in
friendly rivalry for distinguished honors.
On the Schuylkill English and Irish rowing
clubs conten ied with our own to carry off
the honors Of the oar. At Creedmoor, too,
the Irish, Scotch, Australian and Canadian
riflemen gallantly, but vainly, tried to grasp
the honors which our American team had SO
nobly won and still more nobly wear As
the first fruits of this victory the English
rifemen can scarcely fail to come here next
year to contend for the championship Of the
world, and, altogether, we ought to have
a sporting season almost if not altogether
as brilliant as the one which has just closed.
In no other part of the world is there more
magnificent field for outdoor sports, and we
have only to keep on as we begun-a Begin
ming OF which the past season was an ex-
emplifcation-to make the present pros
porous outlook the complete triumph of
manly and athletic sports in this country.

Look Out for Roorbaekn

From now until the polls close on Tues
day the American voter will need to guard
himself against false reports. The partisan
journals of both sides will probably bristle
with rumors. We shall hear the most aston
ishing tales, calculated to harrow the soui
of the voter, and intended, at the last mo-
ment, to make him change his vote.
The political excitement has not for many
years been so intense; each party, by long
and frequent repetition, has at last per.
suaded itself that its success is necessary ia
the salvation Of the country. OF course this
is not so. The country is safe anyhow.
The Union is not SO frail fabric, and our
liberties are not SO insecurely founded, that
any party in power can endanger them. But
good many of the political leaders of both
sides have persuaded themselves that unless
they succeed liberty, security and honor are
gone tor the country; and so'believing they
will not omit any means calculated to win
voters to alarm those who, they fear, will
oppose them; in short, to carry the election.
Election Roorbacks are among the unfail.
ing incidents of the closing days of a can
vass, when lie can make Roadway before
its exposure can get started. Our advice to
voters is to vote early; to scratch all bad or
doubtful names off their tickets; to insist
that the election shall be peaceable and
orderly, and sternly rebuke all attempts to
create disturbance; and, finally, to believe
no political rumor or tale which they do not
find confirmed in the HERALD, which, as the
organ of the independent voter, will take
care to print nothing but the impartial
truth.

Pulpit Topics To-day.

Five years ago Mr.. Kennard entered upon
the pastorate Of the Pilgrim Baptist church,
and to say that he has maintained the
church and kept it as well as he found it
would be saying great deal, consider
ing the number of churches all around
it. But his ministry has enlarged
its borders and made it stronger, and
to-day he will fifty remind his people Of
their mutual relationship and what they owe
to God i'll view of their prosperity. The
poetic element has so greatly developed in
Bishop Snow that he will add an original
poem to his attraction of the abomi-
nation OF desolation spoken of by
Daniel The fading and fadeless will
do as contrast to the unpitied Saviour by
Mr. Lloyd. Mr.. Searles will tell US what q

Water Water!

The people of New York may be said to
gasp this appeal to the powerless guardians
OF the Croton fountains. Like the Israelites
IN the desert vast population is suffering
from the want of one of the vital necessaries
OF life, and there is no Moses to strike the
rock with his rod and cause the waters to
leap forth to the relief of the famishing
multitude. 1t has been truly said that cor
porntions. be they municipal or private,
have no souls, for if that Of New York was
gifted with the commonest intelligence
and foresight we would not now suffer
all the discomforts and be exposed to oil
the dangers created by water famine. We
are told that all we need is water storage
accommodation to remedy this crying evil.
The construction Of new reservoirs will,
it appears, make everything right again.
But in the interval between now and
the time of the completion of these neces-
sary structures what are the people Of New
York to do? The large reservoir being
built in the Croton district will take a year
to complete. There is little prospect of a
heavy rainfall over that region for long
time. The present sources are exhausted,
and the chief engineer of the aqueduct
says, s'We cannot control the heavens"
The chances, therefore, of a maintenance of
even the present poor supply of water are
very slim, so that we must look forward to q
season of dire distress unless the Depart.
ment Of Public Works awakens to the
gravity of the situation and adopts energetic
measures to relieve the city. What these
measures should be the officials are paid
large salaries to determine, and the pub
lie, not unreasonably, looks to them for
relief Judging from the condition of affairs
up town, as shown by the article printed
elsewhere in to-day's HERALD, and by letters
from citizens resident in the famine stricken
districts, the gravest catastrophes may be
looked for unless something is done imme-
diately to increase the water supply. Why
cannot temporary pumping stations be
established at once on each of the
Croton lakes and the waters below the
level of the outlets be raised and discharged
into the streams leading to the reservoir
The cost may be great, but the relief would
be certain. Five steam pumps, each with
capacity of twenty thousand gallons per
minute, would give us one hundred and
forty-four million gallons of water in twenty
four hours. The Croton and Central Park
reservoirs could at this rate be soon filled
and the city supply fully maintained, and
reserve would be created from sources that
are at present unavailable.
The New York herald., 1876-11-05
The democratic estimate is MS follows:-

1t will be noticed that the republicans
give Indiana to their opponents in their
estimates and put North Carolina, Florida
and Louisiana among the doubtful States;
but they claim New York and Wisconsin,
both said to be doubtful Ii they should
lose these two States, they would have but
lG0 votes; but if, losing these, they should
gain North Carolina and Louisiana, this
would give them 178 votes. In that case on
other State, either Wisconsin or Mississippi.
would give them either 1873 or 1856, or in the
first case three more than majority, without
New York. of course if they should also
carry Indiana they would come in by what
in this election would be called a handsome
majority.
On the other hand, five take the democratic
estimates we shall find that fthey should lose
North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana
and Mississippi, all of which they count
among their certain States, they would have
but 173 votes left, even giving them NewYork;
and they would need to gain both California
and Wisconsin to secure them a majority. To
succeed il is evident that not only New
York must be carried, but some other States.
which the best judges believe to be doubt
ful, must be saved by the party that is to
win.

Lock BOXES. Merchants, and in fact all
people doing large business, have to trust
somebody in their employ, but it is great
mistake and often great misfortune to
leave any position OF trust entirely under
one employees control. 1t has been discoy-
cred that youth who had the charge of a
law firms Post Office box used it to decoy the
HERALD's advertisers for lost articles into
sending him money on the pretcnce that he
could restore the articles. The youth was
doubtless rogue in the grain, but the
simple device of changing the messenger to
the Post Office, so that no one could abso-
lutely control all the letters arriving at the
box, would have prevented rogucry in that
direction at least.

salaries and fees in the first list There are
great private houses in England whose
owners are said to be ''eaten up by servants
wages and pickings." Might not the same
thing be said of the city Of New York? At
any rate it is easy to see why city offices are
bone of fierce contention why men are
not merely ready but desperately anxious to
serve the city. 1t is rather ''good thing"
to get in anywhere on its payroll, and a
man could hardly be SO ruined that q term
as County Clerk or Sheriff would not ''set
him on his pins.
Some day. perhaps, the people of New
York will think over these figures. We
print them just now, on the eve of the
election, in the hope that here and there
taxpayer may cut them out and
put them away for reference after we
oil return to our sober senses, and when
the brass bands and torchlight professions
no longer remind us that the country is in
imminent danger in case somebody on one
side or the other should happen to be
elected. We are supposed to be living in a
reform year, and though the year is drawing
near its close some people hope that the re-
form period will stretch over into 1877. New
York is n strongly democratic city, and the
election of the democratic candidate for
Mayor is, therefore, a conceded fact. Let us
rejoice that Mr.. Ely is so capable and hon.
est man. We have a right to expect of him
that he will do his utmost to give us good
and cheap city government. We have q
right, too to expect that he will take an in
telligent interest in those public works and
Improvements which the city needs to pre-
pare it for new term of prosperous COM
merce and to enable it to maintain it's mer-
camille pre-eminence. No city has been
so greatly and shamefuily neglected rs
New York. Its people are crowded into
narrow space and into tenement
houses for lack of rapid transit roads to
carry them to the borders of the city where
they could live in comfort. Its shipping is
crowded into small space, leaving large
part of our noble water front unutilized. Its
warehouses have no proper or rapid and
cheap connection with the piers and
wharves. It's streets are ill-paved and dirty
Its docks are inconvenient and unsafe. To
all these matters we trust the next Mayor
will direct his attention, as an intelligent
merchant and an old citizen may be ex-
pccted to.
AS for the remainder of the two tickets,
both are Indifferent. There are some good
names on each, and the intelligent voter
ought to take pains to mark his apprecia-
ton Of that fact on the ticket he votes.
Whether he prefers republican or dem
ocratic city ticket in either case he
ought to scratch of some of the
names. If this could be generally done we
might hope for the selection Of moderately
