nusINESS AND FRATERNITY.

There is n distinct business element III
this canvass that has as stror. claim to
consideration rs any other. J. 50 long
as fire and sword continu" :, be the
watchwords of the E.HDDnc;3', II gets
no hearing and cuh have NONE. Et.:neSs
men, who plainly see that they could
make much out Of the revival tendencies
winch are so perceptible at this time, are
beginning to seriously ask how long and
to what purpose this talk of violence
and war Is to be kept up. They under
stand that il must stop some time, and
they ask why not now. Are they to
be- kept waiting for their turn TO
come, until corrupt and usurping
party has accomplished all its ends by
methods that will at the last leave no
business to be done? When, say they,
are we to have chance to get at the real
questions that concern our prosperity
and that of the nation? Here is the cur
rency that wants correction, and a tariff
harricade that needs to be removed: and
there arc other matters of public economy
that await legislative disposal. But if
this game of blood and hate is to be played,
one Presidential election after another
4. - ~. of Tho rvs
prosperity to come? They see now, MS
they never saw before, that upon the pa
cihcation of the Southern states, which
l. matter that occasions no apprehen-
sious except on the eve of MI election,
depends an amount of trade whose much
LONGER refusal to them threatens their
commercial ruin. No fact is palmer than
that the North needs the trade of the
south. 1t is a valuable trade, and we
can have it just rs soonas we consent to
let the South get upon its feet again.
Could the people witness the cold
hoodedness with which bloody shirt
campaign WAS chalkcd out by the Re-
publican managers, simply because it
would tead to distract public attention
from the pressing question of reform and
prevent business from urging its present
claims to consideration, the symptoms Of
their indignation would betoo numerous
and prompt to be withstood. Yet this
very programme was written down q.
deliberately rs an srchitec. draws
the plan of house. The bust
ness community are able TO see it more
clearly than If the wicked trick was
ever revealed to them before. If the
Republican plan is to be followed out,
the South is to be kept permanently I'M
der the armed surveillance of the federal
government-in other words, of the
North. 1t really amounts 70 a standing
war of the sections. Of ;he basis of the
conduct of the GRAST-HAYES managers,
determination is simply impossi-
BILE. If We are going to set
about tina. experiment, the time
has come to do 1t. The Morton war
on the South is never going to make US
one country again. Our business men
understand the fact much better than
the politicians can, that it is by trade and
social intercourse that The sections are to
he knit in mutual brotherhood again,
and not bv Legislation or intimIdation'

ALEXANDRIA, La, Oct. 9.-Mai.
Frank McGIoin, with Ward, Flow
ers and Phillips, reached Cotile
Landing on Saturday, in time to
speak at the barbecue. Ward,
FltweFs and Phillips unbosomed
themselves of truths and remin-
iscences such as are death, blows
to the Kelloggs and Packards, and
created a perfect CONSERVATION
among the colOred voters present,
over one hundred of whom were
from Grant parish. Some seventy
FIVE at once joined the Conservative
club and VOW in downright earnest
that they are done forever with
radicalism, the cold, blooded party
whose leaders could plan such
atrocities.
The recruits speak to-day at
Colfax, and will there, in sight of
the graves of their victims, tell
how Kellogg and Packard are
murderers and are responsible for
the death and blood of so many
men. Much good will assuredly
come out of this through Ward
and Flowers.
A big demonstration is on hand
TO receive, on Saturday, Gen.
Nichols, Col. Wiltz and our State
canvassers. Prospects are looking
up and frightening. P.

THE CENTENNIAL.
The Exercises at the Formal Closing
of the Exhibition.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov, 9.-Rafn has been
falling steadily since morning, but in
spite Of the diseouraging weather, great
numbers of people are in attendance at
the Centennial grounds, to witness the
formal closing of the exhibition. Since
early morning steam and street cars go
ing to the grounds have been crowded,
and at two o'clock, the time of the be-
ginning of the ceremonies, it IS estimated
that fully one hundred thousand people
were inside the ipclosure. Shortly be-
fore two O'Clock, President Grant, escort
ed by Gov. Hawley, ascended the plat
form, followed by the Centennial Com
missioners, Board of Finance, Foreign
Commissioners and invited guests. After
the excitement of the multitude, occa-
stoned by the presence of Gen. Grant,
had subsided, the orchestra, under the
direction of Theodore Thomas, performed
Wagner's Inauguration march, composed
for the opening exercises on the 10th of
May last, A t its conclusion, the Rev.
Joseph A, Seiss offered up prayer. The
chorus, accompanied by the orchestra,
hen sang a chorale, entitled sfFagrie, .
by s. Back, after which an address was
delivered by the Hon. Daniel J. MorreIl,
United States Centennial Commissioned
from Pennsylvania, and Chairman of the
Executive Committee. The orchestra then
rendered selections, after which the Hon.
John Welsh, President of the Centennial
Board of Finance, delivered an address.
After Beethoven's Fifth Symphony had
been rendered, DirectOr-GeneralG Goshorn
addressed the audience at length. Han
del's EEHalle1uiah Chorus'' was next civ.
en- by the orchestra and chorus, and the
Hon. Joseph r. Hawley, President of the
United States Centennial Commission
delivered an address reviewing the histo.
ry. of the Exposition. The audience thel
joined in singing America, - after whicl
President Grant declared the Information
al Exposition of 1876 closed.
The ''Doxology" was sung by the cho
rus and audience, accompanied by thu
orchestra, and the formal ceremonie
were concluded. The ceremonies too
place in the Judges Hall, owing to tn
rain.
Although the exhibition Is now formal
ly ended, the grounds and buildings vii
be accessible to the public for severa
days to come, though the exhibition vii
be in an incomplete form, many exhibi
tors proposing to fence off their exhibit
tomorrow, preparatory to packing thei
goods.
