CENTENNIAL.-The Centennial exhibition to
take place in this city on Tuesday and We'd
nesday of this week has been with good reason
prominently brought before the public for its
many excellencies are such as demand most
extensive advertisement. Among our Portland
merchants are many exhibitors. The estab-
lishments of Messrs. Colder. Blake, Winslow,
King & Dexter, Charles Day, Cow, Hall,
Kersch and others, will be represented. The
young ladies who hare the matter in hand have
already been put to much trouble and expense,
aud their efforts should gain for them most
liberal share of the public patronage. Don't
put off attending till the second day as it is
said that the hits in many of the exhibits can
not be appreciated in one session. The whole
entertainment indeed will be of most novel
and mirth provoking character, and SO unique
throughout as to make more than worth while
the attendance of all who would pass an even
ing or two in most enjoyable manner.

HENRY D. BACON, . well-known
capitalist Of San::Prancisco. has offered
to give pictures aad books to the value
of $25. 600 to the University of Califor-
MIA All this looks very nice on paper,
but there 10 IN old sdage which reads:
BE just before you are generous" the
consideration of which we particularly
commend to the attention of the sfore-
said Bacon. In 1855 the bank of Psge.
Bacon / Co., failed for about $275,000.
and none of the creditors Of that firm
have since received dollar. We know
an aged man in San Francisco who was
one Of their depositors to the extent Of
$4,000. who was totally ruined by it.
II Mr.. Bacon will add t25. 900 to his
$4,000. and. instead Of presenting pic
lures to the University, pay ten per
cent. to each of the creditors of the
firm whose money he squandered in
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad bub-
BILE. he would do an act of equal gen.
crosby and q great deal more justice.
We have not the slightest idea that he
will do 20. however.

pear rather to have taken
it for granted that he
would sign anything Congress might
pass. None of the friends of the Texas
and Pacific scheme seem to have gone
near the White House. or to have COIL
versed with the President on the sub
iect. The President las been thinking
on this matter, however, and has taken
pains to inform himself in regard to
some of the internal improvement bills
that are likely to be discussed. and es-
pecially concerning the Texas and Pa
eific proposition. A gentleman who
talked with him early in the week found
him in grave doubt. first, as to whether
it would BE- we'll to grant Government
aid to the Texas and Pacific Road at
all; secondly. If aid was granted, as to
the amount of it. His objection to
substituting the road at all seemed to be
based on the conviction that the south
ern trans-continental line will be con-
structed without Government aid with
in few years, as soon as the business
of the country demands it. The only
excuse for the Government assisting
such an enterprise, at any time. is the
great AMI pressing need Of it, and the
certainty that private capital cannot be
obtained. If no great public interest
will suffer by a postponemtnr of the
completion Of the Texas and Pacific line
for few years. and if the southern
road will be built by private capital as
soon Is it actually need be, the Presi-
dent does not seem, this gentleman says,
to think that the government will be
justified in extending aid either by
grants of money or the loan Of credit.
On the second point. the President is
also reported to have been plain in the
language he fused: If under any cir
cumstances government aid is to be
given, it ought to he limited in amount
to the smallest sum which will make
the completion of the road possible"
The President. seems to think. and he is
not the only one who holds that opin-
ion. that the Texas Pacific Company
desires more than this, and that to treat
the company with such generosity as
would make possible any more "credit
mobilier" operations would be q serious
mistake. If, therefore, the first objec-
ton should be removed, and it seems
hardly probable that it would be. the
second. that the company asks too much,
might still prevent the President from
signing the Texas and Pacific bill. 1t
is hardly probable that the President
will have occasion to act on such q bill
at all this session. The best informed
members Of the House. including the
Speaker, say there is good reason to be-
lieve that no majority in its favor can
ever be obtained in the present Con-
gress.
