BRASS.

Among the Legislative proceedings we fine
this item Mr.. Yeakel--An act making al
appropriation of $4,000 to the Pennsyl
vania Melical University of Philadelphia,
The New Constitution in order to check
reckless appropriations made provision
that no such institutions should receive
State aid except by two thirds vote of the
Assembly. 1t seems to be of no avail, be-
cause Representatives are somewhat prone
to be liberal with public funds.
This particular institution has not the shad-
ow of a claim for public support 1t is a
private insttution-very wealthy and not
subject to State control. 1t came to the
State Legislature and demanded an appro-
priation of s500,000 which it received, ac-
companied by the pledge that no further
sum would be asked for. The following
year another delegation visited the Legis-
lature, and, in .torma paaperis begged for
100000 more, with the distaict assurance
that no more was needed. In order to fac
ilitate the appropriation the Legislature
was invited to Philadelphia-was hand
somely toasted and wined-and of course
voted the appropriation.
And now the same institution applies to
the present Legislature and begs for S25,
600 more.
On this and all kindred subjects the votes
of Representatives should be examined with
care.

The London Times thinks that con the
whole, we cannot but feel that even though
the investigations or prosecutions now pend
ing should prove futile, the impression on
the public must be that nice sense of hon
or does not prevail in the official world of
the United States" An impression of that
kind is beginning to prevail on this side
of the water and by the time the remainder
of the Cabinet has been disposed of will prob
ably be quite generally adopted. "a nice
sense of honor" is one of those things which
has not been deemed a requisite for states
men holding Office under this Administra-
tion, which accounts for the political ex-
istenee ofthe Belkuaps, Babcocks, Schencks,
Shepherds and similar shining lights of the
Republican party. 1t is very much to be
doubted whether any of these gentleman
know what ga nice sense of honor" means
unless it may be Schenck, who perhaps may
have glmmering of such an idea in paying
his "poker" debts.

CENTENNIAL NEWSPAPER EXHIBITION

At the Centennial grounds in Phladel-
phia, a building is in course of construction
to be used solely for an exhibition of news
papers. 1t occupies conspicuous position
near the miniature lake, on a line between
the United States Government Building and
Machinery Hall.
The plan Of exhibition is alphabetical ar
rangement of partial files of each newspa-
per or periodical in such a manner rs will
make them instantly accessible: the space
devoted to each bearing a label with the
name of the publication printed thereon,
and further designated by number, by
means of which stranger upon reference
to his catalogue will be able at once to APP
proach the section of the building where
the particular journal which he desires to
examine or refer to may be found.
The cases containing these files will form
alcoves similar to those in public libraries
for the arrangement of books these alcoves
forming long tiers, one on each side of the
building throughout its entire length, por-
tion of the space between being reserved for
the accommodation of attendants, leaving
passage way for the public eighteen feet
in width extending from one end of the
structure to the other.
The second story, approached by four
flights of stairs, is devoted to reading rooms
for the accommodation more especially of
newspaper men, and will be supplied with
conveniences for correspondents.
A catalogue giving the name of each
newspaper, its frequency Of issue, and the
number which designates the position allot-
ted to it, together with such statistical in
formation as will serve to convey compre-
hensive knowledge of the nature and extent
of the business Of newspaper publishing in
America, will be issued in compact form,
not differing very much in size and appear
ance from the Official Catalogues of the
four departments of the principal exhibition.
Mr.. Geo. p. Rowell, of New York, will
assume the management of the enterprise,
and with him will rest the responsibility of
making it what it should be.
For the suggestion of this Exhibition of
journalism in the full and complete man
ner proposed, the press and public are in
debted to Gen'l JOS. r. Hayley, President
of the Centennial Commission, himself
newspaper man of large experience and ad-
vanced views, who knows better than most
men that in this particular r'interest the Unit
ed States are not only in advance of any
other country, but that they furnish more
and better papers, having larger aggregate
circulation than those of all the other ma
tions of the world combined -Ne,0 York

GRANT.

OF course the President of the United
States would not for moment be suspected
of completely in the corruptions that have
recently been unearthed at Washington, and
yet few pertinent questions suggest them
selves Just now.
First. When Belknap went to Grant and
rendered his resignation as Secretary of war,
with a confession cf his guilt, why did the
President accept it so promptly cih regret? =?
Was it to prevent, if possible the impeach-
ment of his bosom frieud3
Second. Why did Grant order the Attor-
ney General to institute prosecutions against
all who were connected with these little
irregularities ?" Was it to frighten those
who knew all about the matter into leaving
the country, so that there would be none to
testify against Belknap in the courts and
thus secure his acquittal?
Third Ever since Col. Fred Grant gradu-
ated at West Point he has amused himself
by travelling in Europe, and since his re-
turn, by loafng about Washington. Now,
that his name is used in connection with
tnlS TdScaly DuSlHtsS why 10 ue oIueTeu W
report at once for service on the plains? Was
it to get him out of the reach of legal pro-
cess, which would summon him to appear
before the House committee and force him
to dvulge some family secrets?
Fourth. Gen. Schenck, minister to Eng
land, has been accused of completely in the
Emma Mine frauds. Why was his resigna-
tion accepted by Grant, while he was upon
the high seas, on his way home? Why was
it not accepted while yet on British soil or
postponed until after his arrival in this
country? Was the first to prevent his ar
rest in England, and the second, his i'm
pelchment by Congress? There are few
other little matters concerning Brother
Orville, and brother-in-law Dent that the
people would like to have explained. This
affair from beginning to end, shows desire
and effort on the part of the President to
prevent full Investigation and to screen the
scoundrels that have brought disgrace upon
the nation.
What sublime spectacle to foreign pow
ers! What glorious Inauguration of our
great Centennial Exhibition
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1876-03-17

The Pennsylvania ia State agricultural So
ciety at its meeting in January last resolved
to call the attention of the agriculturalists
of this state to the vast Importance of q
proper display of that industry at the cen
tennal exhibition which commences in
Philadelphia, on the seventh day Of Nay
nert and is to continue six months.
Great efforts have been made on the part
of its managers to bring into combined ex-
hibit complete display of the products of
the soil of Pennsylvania so that comparison
may be had of our modes of tillage with
those of neighboring states and foreign
countries. No expenditure of money can
bring this about; no intelligence or activity
of management; only Thought earnest,
liberal contribution from the producer him
self, can make this portion of the exhibi-
ton worthy of the profound attention which
it should re ceive. 1t is the advantage offered
to us as farmers and citizens to sustain the
honor of the state in peaceful rivalry with
the great industries of the world. Our en-
deavor should be to excel them all.
1t is impossible in circular note to 60
over the whole of this subject. Our society
has taken such action as it was through be-
coming it should take on behalf of the in
terests of the National Exposition in omit
ting its own exhibition for 1876, and by
the offer Of a large snm to such objects Of
merit as may deserve reward. In view,
therefore, of this action of this society, and
in compliance with the resolutions to which
notice has been called, we respectfully ask
that the various county societies through
out the state who have not yet perfected ar
rangements for holding fairs this year will
follow the example of our society and post
one the same until 1877.
We find it impossible to state in detail
the regulations to be be observed in making
entries on the part of societies or individ-
uals, but it will afford the president of the
state society who is one of the state COM
missioners great qualification to reply to
any application for information that may
be made to him by letters addressed to Cat
tawissa, Columbia county, or under care OF
d. w. Seller, secretary, Harrisburg.
Letters of inquiry may also be addressed

That Grant has no respect for the laws of
the land has been so often proved that it is
useless to cumulate evidence to demon
strate it, But the case of Priest Newman is
so open disregard of common decency
that it ought to be known, now that Ulys-
ses objects to seetqrlan influences in govern
ment.
Priest Newman is Grants cOnfessor. He
breaches to him. Enlightens him. Uses
him. So to reward this right reverend pre-
late, Grant sent him ON pleasure trip over
Europe. To pay his expenses Grant made
him inspector of consulates, and caused
the public money 70 be laylshed on him.
This trip cost the public Treasury many
thousands of dollars. Mr.. Fish, the Sec
retary of State, discIaims all participa-
ton in this grab of the public money, II
was Grant who did it, Now how any Off
Ger who has control Of the public money
could pay out these thousands Of the peo-
pies money without authority of lazy, shows
the power, the abuse of power, the disre,
gard of law which Grant commits whenever
il suits bis will. This case is only one ex.
ample Of Grants disregard for law,-Cbm,

OUR PAMPHLET LAWS.

The Philadelphia Press calls attention of
the Councils of that City to the amount
that may be saved in the printing of ordi-
nances by abbreviating the enacting clause
and conclusion Of each ordinance. This
reform in printing our Pamphlet Laws was
brought about by the writer of of this ar
ticle. As an illustrstion-for the Pamphlet
Laws of 1871 it would have saved 426 3-5
pages. This act not only reduced the
bulk of the volume but saved the State a
large item of expense. as the State printer
was paid so much per page. In fact the
abuse had become SO great that in some
instances an act of four lines was spread over
one page.

Brother Orvile, besides controlling half
a dozen Indian traderships, admitted, in his
evidence before the naval committee, that
he has been doing a large business in the
way of getting contracts for business houses.
One Baltimore firm told reporter, some
days ago, that they found that it paid them
to retain the Presidents brother in their
nominal employ, paying him $4,000 year
Oh account of his influence in getting con-
tracts from the department. Oryille con-
firmed this statement and confessed further
that he received half the profits on certain
contracts procured from the Navy Depart
ment. Is it any wonder that the expense
OF this department, in 1874, amounted to
$50, 932 1887, while they were only Sll ,5l4,
$40 in 1860? There can be no such things
as economy when the Presidents relations
are not only quartered upon the country in
all sorts of positions, but also permitted to
job out contracts at extravagant figures

Moral of the Belkuap Case,

The crisis came when an ignorant soldier,
coarse in his tastes aud blunt in his percept-
ions, fond of money and material enjoyment
and of low company, was put in the presi-
Dental chair. We blame nobody for this,
and nobody was blameable. The party did
the best it could under the circumstances,
but his real character as civilian began to
appear very early in his administration. 1t
was fully revealed when he received his
second nomination and the day he received
it the republican party assumed the respon-
sibility for him and his followers which is
to-day covering it with infamy. We have
been warning the readers of this journal for
seven years that to this complexion it would
come at last that the regime under which
we were living was so coarse and venal that
it must end in some awful catastrophe that
would cover us with shame and fill us with
dest air. that the southern "outrages" were
but blind set up by the thieve. to throw
the police off the scent, and that the great
enemies of the free government in this
country were to be found not in Louisiana
and Mississippi but in Washington; and that
the chorus of adulatiou and apology which
was addressed every year by Republican
editors and Republican conventions to the
President were only hardening somewhat
obtuse and selfish nature in courses and asso-
Citations which were full of danger to the
country. The mischief is, however, by no
means irreparable. We have just one year
more of this deplorable administration to
bear with, and during that period we must,
while pushing on the work of investigation
and praying that the discovery of guilt may
stop short of the highest place, possess our
souls in patience. But it is still in the
power of the Amer lean people to see that
the aiiliction does not recur by electing
President whose sympathes and associa-
tons connect him with the best social fe
of the country, who belongs to its men of
honor and intellect and morality who is
familiar with its best political usages and
traditions, and who is either content with
the fortune he has got or whose character
has been tried by temptation and resisted it,
and who has the courage which is needed to
head revolution. For revolution there
must be. The reform of the army of 10000
civil officers must come, and it must come
in spite of the Camerons and Mortons and
Conklings and Boutwells and Chambers if
the form of the government is to remain
