Mr. Secretary Grubb's sloquentl sroAitectural
description, last week, Of how he would con-
struet Htaas building on tho Centennial grounds
win strike the public mind - sonsthins very
hne. He said II would have II founded upon
the blue Brandywine granite Of New Castle
built Of the staunohsst and soushsst tmbsrs Of
old Kent; and cemented with the sand md lime
stone Of susssx." Yes just 90, but the lime

A very decided opposiioa u msnifssting IT,
self, in ths Fourth District OF Philadslphia, 10
the rs-slsotion Of Judge Kelley to Congress.

some one Of the Ring sort, - 10 positively an
nounosd, Judge Kelley had better bs returned
fourteen ysars more. The worst thing In our
politics is . vsual, minded, oorrups politician
ssnt to the Legislative bodies.
A scheme In New York City Of "Grand In
dustrial Exhibition" has boon advertising It,
bonds extensively for two or three ysars. it, ad-
vsrtisemsnts, like other humbugs and swindlss,
bang inserted freely by many newspapers, In
eluding some in this city. They wsre regularly
refused by the CoHxEamAI, though sent % BY
responsible agents. The concern has now gone
up-of oourss-and all it, property was ssissd In
New York. on Saturday. We hope nobody In
Wilmington had bought its bonds. pr
Hsnry O. Bowen has broken out, again, with
long letter In the Besoher business. He talks .
great deal about his " oonscisncs," }" and declares
his own oonvincsment Of Mr. Beschsr's guilt.
Mr. Bowen has pursued devious course through
~ vhols sass. and willis BE- nay prove q scaas

tiousnssa, We fear, 10 far fsoa being his stfong-

forward and generally y-respected man had
spoken, the ds,iverancs would carry more con-
yinsement.
e Reports from New England refer to many
casss OF financial embarrassment in both COM
mercial and manufacturing branches OF busi-
meas, and there 10 little doubt that within the
past few months that section haa had it, full
share Of the general troubles Of business. Out
Of about dozsn items referring to manufactur-
ing operations, In the Boston Adusrtiser Of yes
tsrday morning, al but two announce suspen'
sion Of work, reductions Of wages, or strikes
against reductions. The factories and iron
works Of New Hsmpshire have generally ou'
down wages ton per cent. within abort time, Of
ars about making the change.
Governor Chambsrlain's earnest efforts foa
good government in South Carolina are credit
not only to himself, but to the Republican party
and IL u most gratifying and encouraging to se'
that in several important instances, recently, ,th
Legislature of that State has, by large majoEi
ties, supported his endsavors. In = recen
message, the Governor urged reduction of d
salaries paid to State officials, saying hs woul
chssrfully accept tho same treatment OF b
own, though it 10 projected by tho Constitution
and added this luminous and sound suggsstson
"Ths work Of retrenohing expenses and reno'
nR abuses is always difficult but It 10 Away
