THE ELECTION.

The intense excitement that prevailed on
Tuesday night and Wednesday showed no
abatement yesterday Everybody eagerly
looked for news, and every straw of hope
was gladly clutched by both parties.
At the time of going to press nothing
positive is known as to the result. Con
tradicting dispatches are flashing over the
wires, and the wisest head is puzzled to
make any thing cut OF them. The news
papers of both sides claim the election
The result depends upon the vote Of one or
two Southern States. Possibly by the time
this is in print those States may be heard
from, and the matter settled.
Without Florida and South Carolina Til.

the number necessary to elect him. Drop
ping them from the Republican list Gov
Hayes has III, lacking eleven of a major
ity. 1t will thus be understood how much
depends ON these two comparatively small
States, which will, in all probability, elect
the next President, fog, as we have said
there is little room for question as to which
way Louisiana has gone, and none at all
with regard to Oregon. The Republicans
are making persistent claim on Florida.

they mean to capture Florida by foul
means if they fail by fair. But the votes
are still to be canvassed and the purposes
of fraud and intimidation may be defeated
by the authorities and the true voice of the
State ascertained.
Both parties continue to claim South

in the presence of distinguished officials of
foreign countries, of the representatives of
the United States, State and municipal
governments, the public press and Il con-
course of probably two hundred thousand
people, and with fitting addresses, inspir-
ing music and the invocation of the Divine
blessing. 1t was one of the four most
prominent days OF the Exhibition, the
other three being the Fourth of July,
Pennsylvania day, September 2Sth, and
the closing day. yesterday.
The Centennial Exhibition ended yester-
day. Within the last few weeks people
have begun to realize the immeusity Of the
void which will exist in the list of Phila-
delphias attractions. Only one thing
overbalances the regret which increases as
the last moment approaches, and that is
The proud satisfaction had from the fact
that the International Exhibition OF 1876
has been the greatest, most thorough
best managed aud most successful IN every
respect that the world has ever seen. This
is not merely the just boast of Americans,
but also the candid concession of dis
tinguished foreigners. Six months ago
yesterday the Exhibition was opened in
glory; yesterday it closed with ceremonies
Of digniied simplicity. 1t has furnished
matter for many volumes of interesting
reading. Its history could not be given III
single issue of newspaper. When
properly written it will take its place, side
by side, with Bancroft and Prescott, in the
American library Philadelphia Times.

HAYES PROBABLY PRESIDENT
Ellis Election Practically Assured.
Florida and South Carolina for
Hayes.

BY the latest dispatches from the States,
which are to decide the question, the proba-
bility of Hayes election is strengthened
almost to a certainty. In South Caro-
lima it is tolerably safe to say that both
Chamberlain and Hayes have carried the
State. Both parties are claiming Florida,
but the Democrats are gradually reducing
their figures. Gov. Stearns telegraphed
that the returns are nearly all in, and
Hayes majority about $500. Louisiana
seems to be safely in the Hayes column.
Gov. kellog says it is Republican beyond
doubt. The situation in the States
claimed for Hayes remains unchanged.
An examination of the table published will
show the latest estimates.

CONFILCTING News ONLY.-News of the
result of the Presidential election comes to
hand slowly ana Is somewhat conflicting as
to the three States from which Gov Tilden
is to add the one vote necessary to assure
his election. These our readers are aware
are Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina.
From these the latest dispatches are in
substance as follows; In Florida, Gov.
Stearns claims a republican majority Of
1000, if can honest canvass can be Sc
cured" The Democrats claim majority
for 1ilden, at the least, of 1920. In Louis
lana, according TO New Orleans kilograms,
the Democrats claim 10, 600 to u. GOO ma
jority; the Republicans 5000. Governor
Kellogg telegraphs to the National Repub-
lcan Committee to 9 be easy" and says
the ''returns are even better than expec-
ted South Carolina has gone for Hayes
by 1000 majority, though it also is claim
ed by the Democrats.

In New York the tremendous Demo
cratic frauds in the city have given them
the State. The sweeping Republican ma
,jority in the counties, the voice of the
honest people, has been nuiliied by the
repeaters and bailot-box suffers of the
city. In Florida, upon whose vote great
deal depends, the Ku- klux are at work
endeavoring to overcome the honest major
ity for Hayes. A railroad train sent ont to
get the returns was attacked and driven
back. Hayes undoubtedly has the State
by an honest vote of about 1900; but
whether the "White Liners " can prevent
by violence an honest return remains to
be seen. They will not lack in effort to
effect this end.

CRoUP.-From Mr.. Jas Grimes, of Mt
Pleasant, Columbia county, Pa: about
three years ago our daughter. now twelve
years of age, was severely afflicted with
Group. 4 general irritation of the lungs
followed, producing hectic cough, which
became almost constant; swelling of the
temples, and other indications of Consump
ton, were also apparent, and her life was
despaired of by her physician. At this
critical moment we were induced to give
DIR. WIsTER's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY
trial. and after she had taken one bottle
we found her SO much relieved that we dis
continued its use. Since that time we have
used the Balsam in our family in cases of
Coughs and Colds, and believe it to be a
superior remedy for all diseases of the
lungs" Fifty cents and 81 a bottle Sold
by all druggists.

THINGS IN GENERAL.

During the first three months of 1876 no
fewer than seventeen patents were taken
out in France for improvements in parlor
skates.
The prisons of Denmark are mostly con-
Quoted on the solitary confinement system:
yet the prisoners are frequently visited by
the officers, whose influence in theory, if
not in practice, is exerted to effect refor-
nation of character. The convicts never
see each other, and thus are free from
contamination.
Neither apl recitation of nor desire for
physical excellence sufficiently exists among
the refined women of our day. Our young
women are too willing to he delicate, fragile
and incapable Of endurance. They dread,
above all things, the glow and hue of
health, the rotundity and beauty of mus
cularity, the comely shape which the great
masters gave to Venus de Milo. All these
attributes are viewed as coarse and unlady
like, and she is regarded as most to be
envied whose complexion wears the livery
of disease, whose muscular development is
beyond the suspicion of embon- point, whose
waist can almost be spanned by her own
hands.
\ case of almost complete preservation
OF a corpse for thirty six years comes from
Cincinnati. The body of Mrs. Amanda
Everett, who died in that city in 1910, was
buried i'll the Methodist Protestant Gene
terry in Avondale, in a black walnut coffin
enclosed in stone sarcophagus. In &C
cordance with the desire of a relative, the
body was exhumed for the purpose of IN
torment elsewhere. The stone coffin was
too heavy to be lifted, so the wooden one
was removed and it was determined to open
it. The remains were found to be in a
state of almost perfect preservation. The
flesh appeared to have dried without shriv-
cling and the grave clothes were but
slightly discolored.
Since the shipments of gold from Lon
don set in, about $1,000 600 have been re
ceived at New York. Further amounts
are on the way, almost every day gold is
withdrawn from the Bank of England for
the United States. The transfer of few
millions of gold from London to New DIRK
would confer advantages on both countries.
1t would relieve the London market of pie
thora that abnormally depresses the rate of
interests; and it would benefit us by re-
pleniShlng our greatly depleted stock of
gold, by putting down the gold premium,
by facilitating the marketing of the 1 per
cent bonds, and by contributing something
towards preparations for resumption Of
specie payments.

GlO5el rushed into one of our large dry

THE VERY LATEST!
HAYES ELECTED
North Carolina probably for Hayes

that Gov. Hayes carries Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida, giving him major
ity of one electoral vote. North Carolina,
which has been claimed for Tiden, is now
reported in great doubt, and it will prob
ably be carried by Hayes, giving him a
majority of eleven in the electoral college.

THERE is not, and never has been, any
reason to suppose that the States which
seem now to decide the contest would be
otherwise than Republican. There would
be far more reason to suspect fraud if re-
ported as Democratic. AS they have been
Republican for years, there is good reason
to suppose that on an honest vote they are
Republican now. There never was any
ground for conceding Tilden's election,
save the belief that he had carried Wis
consin. Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina are Republican States.

CLOSING OF THE CENTENNIAL.

An act of Congress, approved March >,
1871, provided for the celebration of the
one huEdredth anniversary of American
Independence, by holding an International
Exhibition of Arts, Manufactures and Pro
duets of the Soil and Mine III the city of
Philadelphia during the year 1876. Under
the provisions of this act was created the
United States Centennial Commission, con
sisting of two delegates from each State
and Territory, the commissioners being
appointed by the President of the nited
States, on the nomination of the Governors
of the respective States and Territories.
FOREIGN CO. OPERATION.
On the 3rd of July, 1878, President Grant
issued proclamation declaring that the
Exhibition should be opened on the 18Th of
April, 1876, and closed on the 10Th of Octo-
Der, iii the same year, and commencing the
celebration to the people of the uited
States and of all nations. Two days after
ward the Secretary of State sent a note to
each foreign minister i'll the United States,
giving information of the progress of the
work up to this time, aud expressing the
hope that his government might deem it
proper TO cooperate in the proposed cele
blation; and that the opportunity afforded
10y the Exhibition for The interchange OF
national sentiment and friendly intercourse
among the various nations might result in
new and still greater advantages to science
and industry.
THE BUILDINGS.
In July, 1874. the grading of the two
hundred and forty acres comprised in the
grounds intended for the Exhibition was
begun. |; had been decided to erect five
principal exhibition structures-the Main
Building, covering 2l.41 acres; TIE Art
Gallery, ID acres; Machinery Hall, II
acres. Agricultural Hall, 1915 acres, and
Horticultural Hall, | acres-aiso to class
ify all exhibits into seven departments,
namely. mining. manufactures, education
and science, art, machinery, agriculture
and horticulture, the first three of which
were assigned to the Main Building and
the others TO the structures known by their
respective names.
The following States and Territories
made the appropriations named toward
the representation of their natural and
productive interests:
