An informal conference was held be-
tween the President and those members
of his Cabinet who were in this city on
Thursday night, the President having re-
tired early from the Centennial banquet
at St. Georges Hall. Secretary Chand-
Ter had come over from New York, and
Secretary Fish and the Attorney General
from Washington, and Secretary Gamer
on was also present. The President
spent the night at the residence of Mr..
Childs and yesterday morning had con-
ference with a number of prominent gen.
tlemen before driving out to the Centen-
nial Grounds, where he was to preside at
the closing of the Exhibition. Reaching
the grounds he proceeded to General
Hawley's private office, where there were
present Secretary Fish, Secretary Gamer

tated the following kilograms to the gen.

Considerable contention exists among our towns people in regard to the location of onr centennial celebration. Four or five different parties want it located in as many different places, while some find fault with the cannon purchase. and don't want to hear so much noise, as if too much noise could be made in celebrating our centennial anniversary. Some declare they will not attend unless the location suits them. Such is often the ease, here. When we want to do anything we fall short of our aim, for want of unity and brotherly love among us. The same spirit manifests itself at our Agricultural fairs.
 -One of Wm. Painters hen has laid the centennial egg, it measured 6i inches one way, and 8 inches the other!

 -Mr. Roswell Scoville has moved his wood house further west, to give better view from the south side of his house.

A Fire in Tilden's Rear.

AS if Tilden is not having trouble
enough to secure sufficient number of
electoral votes to insure his election
with his party united, he is now on
the ragged edge, being assailed by a
fire in the rear, instigated by Demo
Gratis. There is too much reason he
finds for thinking that there are great
numbers Of Democrats in the south
who are losing faith in him, and are
fast making up their minds that the
country will be better of; with Hayes
in the Presidential chair than with
Tilden. They remember that Gov.
Hayes has always been and is now a
conservative Republican, and they
were especially pleased with that para.
graph in his letter of acceptance touch
ing affairs in the south. They are
consequently turning their backs upon
Tilden aud looking to Hayes as their
friend and benefactor aud Tilden is
growing uncomfortable over the ex-
istence Of the fact. He has found
that the South is not in accord with
the clustering sentiment of those Dem.
ocrats in the North who threaten war
in case Tilden is not declared elected
The idea has been that the South
would be ripe for any such disturbance,
but the reverse of this seems to be
true. 1t is this which alarms Tildeu
and his blowers and strikers at the
north. They feel that rebellion In
ausurated for the purpose of putting
Tilden 10 possession of the presidency
cannot be successful unless backed ut
by a united south. The evidences
that they cannot and will not have
this are SO plentiful that there is less
bluff and bluster than there was, anc
there is every indication that Haye,
will be peacefully inaus urated and the
Tildenites will submit with all the grac,
that can we'll be imagined.

A Democratic ThaW.

WASHINGTON, Dec 21.-There are
strong signs of a breakup in the Dem
cratic tanks. The Southern Democrats
arc making advances that cahnot be
mistaken to mean that they see more
good in Hayes than in Tilden's inau-
guratiop. They say they want the
Texas Pacific Railroad; they want the
harbors improved and distractions to
navigation placed during the war re-
moved; they want hig.- protective
thrift, to swell the profits of their plan
tations, and have very little to expect
from Tilden 10 these particulars. He
is opposed to the Texas Pacific Rail-
road project; he is opposed to harbor
Improvement, and is free trader.
The objections to Tilden that found
expression before the St. Louis Con-
vention are revived with even more
violence than then, and the Southern
Democrats say we cant spend much
effort or much money for this man,
who is practically hostile to the inter-
ests We cherish.
Then there is very strong and we'll
founded suspicion on the part of West
ern men Hendricks friends) that the
Eastern men are trying to sell Hen
bricks out. There have been express
sions Of opinion in Eastern Democratic
Independent papers that the result OF
these complications will be Tilden and
Wheeler, while the Republicans are
not ready to consent to any such ar
rangement, and will have Hayes and
Wheeler or nothing. The Eastern
Democrats are anxious to unload Hen
bricks and give the Republicans the
Vice Presidency, in what they call
compromise. Hendricks friends don't
like this, and there has been very in
dignant talk to-day by soft-money Dem
ocrats from the West, and savage
threats are made as what the result
will be if Hewitt and others attempt to
shake their candidate for Vice Presi.
dent, Many letters have been written
Hendricks informing him as to the
movement, and the outgrowth is diff
cult to predict The Western men
say that if Tilden is elected Hendricks
Is elected, and that neither would have
had 1874 votes had not Indiana been
carried by Hendricks personal inhu-
ence. This bad feeling is liable to re-
suit IN general Generalization.

iously enjoy his agitation. Our thea
tres have been subjected to a visit of
inspection by the officials, stimulated
thereto by the Brooklyn horror; and
the report of these visiting officials,
with light contributed from other
sources, will likely result in an urgent
ly needed reconstruction of our places
of amusement if the agitation is not
suffered to die out. For a week we
have had winter weather-some of it
almost arctic in character-but day
it is softer and streets are thronged
with the thousands preparing for the
