held an informal reception.
The illumination la the city tonight

When President Grant rose to respond,
he was greeted with enthusiastic and
long continued applause, followed by
three cheers and a tiger, led by General
Hawley. President Grant read his re-
spouse to the presentation address:
my countrymen, it has been thought
appropriate upon this Centennial occa-
sion to bring together in Philadelphia,

attachments in the industrial and fine
arts, and in literature, science and phi

achievements, and also give emphatic
expression to our earnest desire TO Guilt

bers of this great family of nations. The
enlightened agricultural, commercial and
manufacturing people of the world have
united to send hither corresponding spec
linens of their skill to exhibit on equal
terms, in friendly competition with our
own. To this invitation they have gen.
orally responded. For so doing we rem

On Good Friday the Strange custom,
so long in vogue amongst the sailors of
Portuguese and Maltese origin, of fog
ging the efiigy of Judas IscariOt, was OBJ
served by the crews of several of the YES
sells belonging TO those natiOnalities now
lying in the river and the London docks.
In the early morning a figure, Intended
to represent the false apostle, and made
of wood or straw, and attired in the garb
of a sailor, was hOisted to the yard-arm,
where it remained suspended whilst the
sailors attended mass. On returning
from their devotions the logging took
place. 1t commences at a meeting of the
crew, at which the captain is appointed
master OF the ceremonies compliment
which demands the acknowledgement of
an extra allowance of grog. Under the
captains supervision the efiigy is first
lowered overheard, and having been sol
emily dipped three times, i'm honor of
the Trinity, is hauled in and dashed tight

formed, the ships bell violently rung,
and the bound apostle saluted with mock
solemnity; after which the crew, armed
with rOpes-ends, proceed to belabOr him
until his garments are reduced to tatteFs.
At the same time J udas is upbraided with
his treacheFy, kicked sild spat upon, and
subjected to all kinds of indignities. The
effigy WAS finally thrown OverbOard.-EX-

The issuing of an order on Monday, by
Col. Flagler, forbidding the use of the
bridge to teams engaged 10 transporting
coal from the cars on this side of the river
to Davenport. has caused quite stir
among dealers and teamsters. A large
number Of the latter are thrown out Of
work by it, since the cost of ferriage added
to that of the coal renders profitable
transfer impossible. OF course, also, the
order operates to the disadvantage of all
consumers. 1t noticeably imposes tax OF
one cent bushel on COAL 1t is to be
hoE ed that the issuing of the order arose
from a mistake, and that it will soon be
rescinded.

Preparatious for City Election.


The Republican committee has called
their ward meetings for next Friday even
ing, to nominate aldermen and choose del
egates. and their city convention at the
court house on Saturday evening next,
The Democratic committee has called
meetings for the same purpose, for Mon

The Republican party committee in
sisting on having a party contest, the
Democratic party committee follows suit,
and thus we are to have the form of
party contest,-but it will be only in form;
people never did, in this city, make a
strictly party contest for mayor and alder
men, and probably never will. The main
issue, this year. will be as to whether the
people want the water board ring to go on
in their reckless and imbecile course, or
| whether they want the water works
managed for the peoples interest. Water
| board management has added, this year,
$45, 900 to the burdens of the people.
The works are not managed SO that they
even pay one-half the interest ON their cost
| The people pay, out of their own pockets,
over $4,000 this year, for interest on
the cost of the works, over and above al
the revenue for water rents. And this
remember, is not paid alone by those
whose property is protected from fire BY
the works, or by those who can avail them
selves of the water if they want it--bu
the sum is raised from the pockets of those
who live outside the benefits OF the waite
works. as well from those who can use it
