Opening of INC Centonn,,l.

Five weeks from next "Wednesday
is the opening day, and Gen. Hawlcy,
the energetic President of the exhibit
ton, has given President Grant a
copy of the opening address which he
will make, that the President may
frame a fitting reply. The ceremo-
mails with which the European exhi-
billions have been opened have been
adopted, with notifications, and the
attendance of Congress and the
Judges of the Superior Court is ex-
pectcd.
There is another proposition, for
Congress to pay a second visit TO
Philadelphia on the 18th of July, and
to meet as one body in Independence
Hall, with John Hancock as presiding
officer. Mr.. Hancock now represents
the Austin District of Texas. He is
abont SO years of age, solidly built
with a keen eye and an intelligent
countenance. He is a lawyer by pro-
fcssion, and staunch Democrat, al
though he was expelled from the
State Legislature in 1861 for refusing
TO take the oath Of allegiance to the
Confederate States. Congressman OF
all parties would like to see him in
the chair OH the 4th of July.
If an appropriation of another half
million can be gotten through Con-
gress, a large band of Indians is to be
cncamped within the Centennial
grounds; and already some of our
crack men-of-war have been ordered
to New York harbor, to welcome the
Emperor of Brazil with an imperial
salute of 100 guns, and to escort him
TO the place oflanding.

To Shield His Own Crock ed

SAN Francisco, April 11-Col. A.
q. Dawes was with Wilkinson to-day.
The latter asserts that he is guilty of
no crime. As to the approval of
guagers accounts he says Bittinger
was elected to the legislature and
employed Beignscr to do the guAging.
The bills were approved In Bittin-s
gers name by ORDERS from Mcdonald
and Joyce. He is convinced. since
learning Of Bittingers pleading quill
W, that the conspiracy to llefrsu5 the
government extended thro'out north
ern and western Missouri ana that
Joyce, Mcdonald and BittiMger shared
in the profit, but maintains that It will
be shown in evidence that distil-
lers and members Of the ring were
instructed to withhold all knowledge
from the collector. Believed Joyce
and Mcdonald will be pardoned as
soon as the Presidential election is
over. From fugitive distiller, whom
he met in Missouri, named Bourne,
he learned that Joyce represented to
the distillers or Northern Missouri
that tho assessments on crooked whis-
Ky were levied for party purposes and
RENTED to Babcock in Washington.
He has information that eleven U. S.
Senators have signed petition for
Bittinger's pardon, including Harvey,
ingalls, of Kansas, Cockerill of Mo-,
Morton of Ind, Spencer Of Ala, and
Hitchcock and Paddock of Nebraska.
He says he has suffered all the agony
possible from the consequences OF
moral cowardice. He had determine
ed before his arrest to meet the mat
ter and will not ask bail on his return.
At the time of leaving st. Joseph,
owing to the whisky Juror, he could
not get bail on indictments, which
without justice, threatened him, but
he acted suicidally in leaving as he
did. Wilkinson will probably go
east on Thursday in custody.

ELECrIOr FRAUDS IN CHICAGO.

The election in South Town Chica-
go has resulted in a victory for the
bummers. There is terrible indigna-
ton among the people at this result,
accomplished rs it is certain it must
have been, by fraud. The following
brief editorial from the Tribune indi-
Gates that there must be great exas-
peration or that paper would not hint
at desperate remedy as it does. The
Tribune says:
"The outrageous frauds committed
in pursuance of the conspiracy to keep
in Office another year the South Town
officers of 1875, were sweeping and
comprehensive, covering the entire
ticket from Collector to Clerk. Ac-
cording to tho vote as it was counted
yesterday, Mike Evans, Ed. Phillips,
Ryan and Gleason are made out to
have received votes sufficient to elect
them by majOrities ranging from SOC
to 1000 including the disputed boxes
in the Second and Fourth Wards.
Where these votes came from, in what
wards they were Struggled into the
boxes, by whom, in what manner, at
what time-of all this nothing can be
definitely stated ut present. 1t is only
known that a monstrOus, dangerous,
and exasperating fraud has been per-
petrated. OF this there is absolutely
no doubt. The DISTINGUISHED and de-
fraudcd taxpayers of South Chicago
will open their eyes in astonishmcnt
when they read the full particulars Of
the outrage. Their eyes once opened,
what will they do next? Commune
ties plundered by horse-thievcs, burg
lars and highwaymen have before
now found the remedy for state of
things which the courts were power
less to correct, and the same remedy
may suggest itself ere long in Chica-
go. Much has been suffered already ;
how much more will the people bear !

The Democracy have hunted up
Whitley, an ex-chicf of Police at
Washington, and got him down be-
fore Proctor Knots committee. He
was told that they had proof enough
against him to indict him for bur-
glary, and if he wanted immunity
from prosecution and punishment he
must squcal about the famous safe
burglary at Washington. Whitley, it
is said, was induced to tell, his tcsti-
mony being taken secretly. 1t has
leaked out and gone abroad however,
that Whitley duplicates General Bah
cock and indirectly the President.
Whitley is an impecunious fellow and
has doubtless been interviewed by
Democratic cmissaries, and has been
ostcnsibly threatened with indictment
for burglary, but has, in fact, been
paid good round sum to go to
Washington to tell another of those
startling, mendacious falsehoods for
political effect, and that beyond this
nothing is expected or intended. The
Democracy is now expanding a con-
siderable campaign fund to hire i'm
pecnnious dcad-bcats to tell election
eering bonanzas for them in the shape
of shameful falschoods against the
character of prominent Republican
officials. Babcock having been near to
the President, is shining mark for
this kind of work. Push on, Demo-
cratic wire-pullers. The brand of
Cain may not at first be apparent.
but it will out, and the people are
already waking up to comprehcn-
sion of it. tt

NASHVILLE, April Another i'm.
mense audience greeted the Colored
National Convention.
Resolutions were adopted ordering
and re-affirming devotion and adher-
ence to the National Republican party
and its principles nevertheless that
they have just reason for complaint
against members who proved recrc-
ant to their trusts returning thanks
to the friends of freedom :distavoring
any desire to cherish ill-1celing against
the eX-slave-h0lding element of the
South, but on the contrary would ex-
tend to them the olive branch Of
peace; asking all good men to arise
in their sovereign capacity to
strengthen the arm of the law and to
protect citizens against mobs, assas-
Ontrages and violence that
the determined and increasing efforts
to establish color line, in the pres
ent condition Of affairs is to be de-
plOred by all lovers of liborty and
order, and one which threatens the
continuance of peace, security and
prosperity to both blacks and whites !;
hold no sympathy with official rogucs
but most earnestly condemn dishon-
esty, corruption and infidelity to the
public trust in whomsoevcr found.
Supplemental resolutions were
adopted recognizing the validity of
the present government Of Louisiana,
under which Pinchback was elected
to seat in the United States Senate,
4hc manner i'm which his
contest ended, and regard it as humb-
ling to. the pride of The cQlored pco-
pie of America that Senator O. p.

Senators who voted and acted with
him deserves the lasting gratitude OF
colorcd American citizens that COM

policy slet no guilty man escape;
recognize the appropriate services
rendered in their behalf by President

gratitude.

We learn from very good authority
that Gen. II. w. Rice, ofIowa, was as

TIE colored men of Mississippi
held State Convention recently al
Jackson, the capital of the State. The
Legislature being in session, many OF
the members were i'm attendance. Ex-
Governor Pinchback made an OK
tended speech, in the course of which
he said:
l tell you, my white friends, that
this killing off of our colored people
must be stopped, and I intend to help
i'm putting stop to it. Not by force
of arms: not by the use of needle
guns and Remington rifles; but by
breaking up this issue of race, and by

ocratic party. The colored people
are bound to have their rights, and ]
advise you who are gentlemen, to be
the ones to guarantee them those
rights; for if you do not, in sober
earnestness | warn you to beware OF
the day when the rufiian class OF
whites shall unite with the more ig-
norant class of colored people!
leave you to imagine the result.
The ideas of Pinchback are worthy
of man of sense and foresight. The
people of the South ought to know
from past experience that wicked
course, such as is being pursued, will
